Chapter 53 – A Teardrop

“No need to wait anymore. Let’s begin.”

When the figure slowly stepped on stage, Fatty sensed the intense pressure exuding from Chax!

Feeling his hands faintly tremble, Fatty tightly clenched his fists in order to steady his nerves.

Dammit dammit dammit! Why did it have to be him!? There is absolutely no way that I can fight against Chax! Maybe, I should give up…

Fatty’s thoughts frantically raced in his mind, as he debated on what to do next.

Turning his head to look at his big brother, Fatty saw the pale faced Calron worriedly gazing at him.

Seeing the expression on his brother’s face, Fatty felt the turmoil in his heart slowly resolve. This was his chance to do something for Calron, and besides, how could he simply surrender to someone who constantly looked down upon his big brother?

“Hehe, how can the little brother be a coward, if the big brother is so amazing? If I give up now, I will never be able to catch up to big brother!”

Fatty softly muttered to himself, as he gave a small smile to Calron, and then turned to face the opponent in front of him.

…………………..

“Fatty… no, don’t do this… ”

Calron whispered to himself as his heart violently pounded against his chest!

“He looks up to you… I don’t know why, but he adores you like his own blood brother.“

A gentle voice sounded outfrom behind Calron, as he suddenly felt a soft hand on his shoulder.

Felice slowly stepped next to Calron while she continued speaking.

“He told me that he wanted to be as amazing as his big brother, and it was his motivation to train relentlessly. Even now, he wants to fight to prove his strength to you!”

Felice softly said as her eyes started to get misty.

How could she not know what her little brother was thinking? If it was not for Chax constantly oppressing Calron, why would her little brother continue to stand his ground against someone of Chax’s strength?

“Fatty… “

Calron clenched his fists until the veins on his arm slowly started to pop.

“Just watch him. Rory is not so weak as you might think.”

Felice gently whispered with a slight smile on her face, as she withdrew her hand from Calron’s shoulder.

Tilting his head to look at the girl he was once extremely weary of, Calron did not know how to feel about the current Felice.

Calron realized that this was the first time that he had truly talked to Felice! Her previous cold and heartless exterior had completely vanished, as it left behind a girl who was simply worried about her little brother.

Although Felice spoke in a light tone, Calron could still detect traces of worry in her face.

“Fatty, you better not lose… “

Calron murmured as he turned his attention to the stage.

………………….

“The heavens must really favor me, to make you my opponent for this duel!”

Chax loudly stated as he gave a low chuckle.

Fatty remained silent, as he knew words would just be wasted on the arrogant boy in front of him.

“What happened? You were pretty impatient to fight me back in the booth, don’t tell me that you’re afraid now because that lightning trash isn’t behind you?”

Chax continued to taunt Fatty as he walked towards the center of the stage.

Hearing Chax insult his big brother, Fatty’s expression abruptly changed as his eyebrows knitted together in a furious anger!

“You can insult each other as much as you want, but wait till I give you the permission to start your duel.”

The old man’s voice echoed in the stadium as it was amplified with essence.

“Are the two participants ready?”

The old pervert inquired as he looked at the two disciples.

“I’m ready to give this punk a thrashing!”

Chax fiercely growled, as his eyes bore into Fatty.

“I am ready.”

Fatty replied to the old man in a firm tone.

“You may begin!”

The old man suddenly bellowed as he stepped away from the stadium.

Immediately, Chax released his essence as a fiery wave of scarlet flames coalesced around his body!

Cracking his knuckles, Chax laughed out loud.

“You still haven’t told me your name. Well, whatever, it’s not like it matters!”
