Chapter 98: That was smart!
"Ah... As he becomes so rich to afford a Range Rover?"
"He must have won an award or something."
"Maybe he has a rich sugar mummy or something..."
The side talks only sounded as a murmur, and Arnold simply didn't hear a word from the observers. Just before he left the garage, Mark and Lila dashed out from nowhere.
"We thought you wouldn't come back today, but here you are," Lila smiled and gave Arnold a friendly hug. Arnold embraced her and exchanged a handshake with Mark.
"Look, I got the car..."
He pointed to the black Range Rover Evoque with a grin.
"Whoa. You never told us it's a Range Rover?!" Mark's eyes widened, amazed.
Not having what to say to justify himself, Arnold only nodded.
Mark and Lila went ahead and observed their friend's new car. They were both putting on a delighted smile... It was clear that they were happy for him, and he appreciated their love.
Arnold noticed the observers throwing cold and envious gazes at him, but he only looked away after a short stare... The world today is full of pride and jealousy; that is a fact.
Mark and Lila finally followed him to the boarding after their observation. He had told them that he would have to celebrate this success again.
Actually, not only did the acquirement of the car make him happy, but his permanent partnership contract was worth $15000 for a start, and he would be paid $3000 a month with an additional $6000 after every commercial he shot! This was the same with Matthew Bridges, but there was one secret...
Arnold would be paid a special $4000 due to having a higher influence than Matthew Bridges. He was no longer a mere superstar, he was now a big shot!
...
Ben suddenly ran out of nowhere with a young man following him from behind.
When he got to the Capside Centre garage, he made a quick halt, and then, he turned to the guy who had been following him.
"Where is the car?!" He asked, though with a loud voice.
"There! The Range Rover Evoque!" The guy said, pointing at a black Range Rover Evoque parked somewhere around the extreme of the garage.
This was Arnold's car.
"Whoa! How come did he get such an expensive car?!" Ben's face burned in shock and envy.
"I heard that he has a partnership with Horny Tyres, they must have got him that car," the man behind him said.
His ring name is Gary Bolt, Ben's new friend after Karl left him.
"What? Horny Tyres?!"
"Yes, Justin... I guess they might have given him that car after the success of their target sales," Gary guessed and said.
It took Ben quite a while to think, but a smile seemed to have appeared on his face at that moment. Gary didn't actually know what was in his mind, but he guessed that this bastard was planning on doing something really crazy.
"If it's Horny Tyres... Then... I will need to see my father," yet with that evil smile, he said and turned to walk away.
.....
It was already nighttime...
Arnold and his friends have decided to enjoy themselves in the Grindhouse Wrestling cafeteria... Have dinner and drink to success.
This event wasn't really occasional, but today was different. There was a lot to eat and enjoy... Beef, chicken, pork, and even spiced fishes that could provoke the appetite of anyone.
Arnold made sure that there were a lot of drinks as well because he loved drinking wine and beer, but trust me, he wouldn't dare to be drunk.
The food and drinks were served on a wide table... Two full chicken spiced up with tomato soup, a large portion of barbequed beef meat, and seasoned porks could be seen. There were enough vegetables for each as well as enough tomato soup to devour the rice at the side.
Arnold swallowed his saliva in impatience.
"Now I can't wait to eat this," he commented, staring right at the meats on the table.
"Honestly, if I eat too much, I'm gonna have diarrhea," Mark said, but this only made Arnold and Lila laugh.
"Hey! C'mon! Your doctor will always be there for you. Now let's eat these up," Arnold said.
"I will start with the chicken," Lila said and forced out a lap from the fried, tomato-spiced chicken.
They all enjoyed their dinner with joy, celebrating the success of their friend. While they drank for a while, Arnold stood from his seat and raised his cup.
"As I win, I pray my friends win too... We'll always soar and dominate for we are always guided by the Pro Wrestling System! HAHAHA!"
At that moment, both Mark and Lila's face turned sore. It wasn't as if they knew what they just heard, they were confused about those words.
Arnold who had just noticed what he said couldn't help but curse inwardly.
'Shit. Shit. Shit!'
He pretended to be relaxed at the outside and sat back on his seat. And uniformly, Mark and Lila threw a question at him.
"What is Pro Wrestling System?"
The two rolled their eyes at him.
However, thanks to his top-notch acting, he was bold and skilled enough to threw a lie at them.
"Pro Wrestling System??? Isn't that the skills I am teaching you two?" Arnold glared at them as if he was serious, and they didn't know the time when they believed him.
After all, they knew nothing about the system or its name... There was no way they could figure if it was a lie.
No one in the world could figure out unless he exposed everything about it himself.
Mark and Lila nodded and continued drinking... And eating.
They quickly went back to their exciting conversation as they celebrated... And while ate, the Pro Wrestling System sounded inside Arnold's head.
[That was smart!]
