Chapter 100: Global Fist Award (II)
Arnold and his friends ate their meal as they couldn't meet up with breakfast before they began the journey. Karl, himself was devouring the luxurious meal as if it was the very first time he was having something like that.
It took about an hour and a half before the refreshment ended and the main award-giving session began.
There were a lot of Awards... Both new and petty...
When it was time for the Global Fist Award, there was tension that filled the hall. Arnold was nervous as well...
Matthew Bridges was somewhere around the Legacy Pro Wrestling seating spot, getting his eyes closed so tightly that it hurt.
"The winner of the Global Fist Award 2056 goes to..."
"Drumroll please!" A lady standing beside the male announcer ordered.
There was high tension around... Not on all wrestlers, but the ones who had been nominated for this great award.
"MAX FURY!"
Arnold's eyes lit up in shock hearing his name. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that instant, still soaked in utter shock.
At that very moment, there was a rain of cheers and claps from different angles, indicating the admiration of almost everyone in the hall.
Arnold wouldn't want to waste much time before going to the stage to collect his trophy. This was more like a dream, but it was still like a reality, too.
As the claps and cheers sounded, still stunned, he summoned the courage to walk up to the stage.
The claps continued, still...
"Congratulations on your Global Fist Award win, Max Fury!" The lady, clad in a classic black dress and stunning high shoes, spoke just as Arnold came forward.
"Thank you very much," Arnold smiled at her and walked over to the standings where a mic was kept for a speech.
The young male announcer congratulated him as well, and he was humble enough for a "thank you"!
When Arnold got to the standing, he glanced around the hall, observing the large crowd before him.
He never thought a day like this would come... He never even imagined it.
Although this was the Low-tier Award of the Global Professional Wrestling Association, it was still great winning it over hundreds of wrestlers in the world.
"Good day everybody. Good day, New York. I um, wanna thank the Global Professional Wrestling Association for this great award. Growing up, I never thought I could achieve this one day. I was extremely hopeless just months ago, but here am I, standing as the Global Fist Award winner of 2056!"
There was a round of applause.
"I have to thank the President of the GPWA, the Chairman of Ultimate Revolution Wrestling, and the General Manager of Grindhouse Wrestling, Jack Harris, for this great opportunity."
"I would also like to thank my best friends, Bobby Crimson and Lila Ross, for always being there for me. I wouldn't have gone this far without them..."
[C'mon! Stop lying host!]
[You and I know that I'm the reason you have gone this far.]
The system suddenly sounded in Arnold's head. However, Arnold decided not to get distracted to prevent embarrassment and suspicion in the all.
After his speech, he collected the trophy, a huge silver fist attached to a black base beneath, and left the stage.
It was when he went back to his seat that he decided to reply to the Pro Wrestling System.
'All that was just for speech's sake!'
[Ah, I see!]
The system was cold on this one.
The Award Ceremony was done yet anyway. There was still one award to be given to his rightful owner...
The greatest award.
The Top-tier Award!
The Global Arm Award.
Arnold was actually waiting to see who this greater would be. He had heard several predictions from different sides and even online.
This year, there have been incredible performances in the industry by some great wrestlers. The likes of Jay D and Andrew Jack were in the nomination as well, however, there were still other good-performing figures in other promotions.
Arnold observed and saw that the chances of an Ultimate Revolution wrestler taking this award were thin... Although he didn't make a final prediction.
To be honest, he had no clue.
At that moment, while he watched as the award was about to be announced, a whisper suddenly flew into his right ear.
"Hello, Max Fury. Mrs Selina Greenwood requests to see you in Room 13 in the VIP area..."
"What?"
"Please don't raise your voice, this is a secret..."
The man who had been standing and whispering to him had a really tiny voice...
Arnold was stunned at that instant, wondering why she had wanted to see him...
It wasn't as if he had any business involving her, or...
"His she going to punish me because I snubbed her message?" Arnold wondered.
To end the guesses and act like a man, he stood and walked to Room 13. The man who had whispered to his ears gave him a white-blue card that held a little information about Selina Greenwood, and when he got there, they allowed his entry as soon as he showed it to her bodyguards.
'Shit...'
Entering the room, there was a stunning feminine figure sitting on the knee-high bed at the edge. Arnold was stunned by his first; he quickly removed his eyes, yet there was a sweet voice that came from that same direction.
"You don't need to close your eyes... C'mon! You already seen it!" She spoke from the near distance.
In Arnold's mind, he was going crazy.
'Isn't that her boobs. Oh my god!'
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was composed with the very effort he could execute.
At that moment, Selina stood up from the bed and approached him. Arnold was having a complicated feeling at that time.
When he had gotten very close to hitting his body, well, she decided to let his boobs hit his chest.
While biting her lips, she muttered...
"Tell me, Max Fury! Why have you snubbed my messages?"
******
[Please, drop a comment if you want Arnold to have a romantic affair with Selina. I planned to make it financially and powerfully beneficial too. I need your opinion guys.]
