Chapter 108: Top Flight
Now, it was probably certain that Karl had destroyed every business that he had had with Tristan Black and Corey Gallagher.
He was pretty lucky not to get his contract terminated and fired. It was actually because his father was pretty rich...
Before Arnold left, Mark and Lila saw him at the garage. He had also visited his mother and siblings in the estate lately, and he made sure they were safe.
When they were about to leave, he looked at his friends and spoke.
"I want to ask you guys for a favor."
"What\'s that?" Lila asked.
Mark was all ears.
"I want you to always check on my mother... My siblings too," Arnold begged.
Those words didn\'t shake either Mark or Lila. They could only smile at the young and who had so much priceless love for his family.
"Hey, common bro! You know we would always do that even without you asking..." Mark said.
"I know..."
Arnold smiled at those relieving words. Of course, he had good friends!
"You just have to get yourself reading for one of the greatest matches the world would ever see," Lila looked straight into his eyes and said.
"You shouldn\'t just make everyone amazed with your performance; you should win it as well," Mark patted his shoulders like a senior brother.
If not for the fact that Arnold was talented and doing pretty well as a professional wrestler, Mark was older than him.
Then, after those motivational words, Arnold brought out the keys from his pocket and handed them over to Lila.
"Unfortunately, I wouldn\'t have to drive to the airport with my car due to security reasons. Mark has a car, so, you should take care of mine until I\'m back," he smiled at Lila. The. He nodded to Lila who was kind of stunned...
With that gesture, which simply meant that she should go ahead and collect the key, Lila collected the keys with a delighted smile.
"I will take good care of it, trust me, Lila assured Arnold.
They went back into the building after Arnold had the others had left.
Karl couldn\'t even dare to come close to Arnold because of what he did. But Arnold acknowledged the fact that the young was feeling guilty...
It was certain that he wasn\'t a pathetic fool like Ben or Tristan Black...
Or even Corey.
The Grindhouse Wrestling transportation van was guarded by several security vehicles as they made their way to the airport, just because of Arnold\'s controversies.
"Honestly, they don\'t have to do this," he muttered to himself, feeling like he was a weak figure who desperately needed protection.
On getting to the airport, they journeyed through the air to Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas, NV, is undoubtedly one of the best cities in the US and is known for countless sports arena buildings.
The population was remarkable as well, as it was a very big city. After all, that was the main strategy considered by all professional wrestling companies...
They couldn\'t afford to visit a city that didn\'t have a high population.
This was the culture of the top shows after all...
Every show, both weekly and pay-per-views, was made in different cities across the world. Arnold just couldn\'t wait to be part of this adventure...
This has always been what he had dreamt of.
(Account Balance: $28600).
Now, he was getting undoubtedly rich. But honestly, riches wasn\'t his only aim...
Greatness was ahead.
When they arrived in Las Vegas, Arnold was honorably welcomed, just like the other wrestlers. With an appropriate room given to him, the only thing he needed was his food...
No, not the food you eat.
It was the food Arnold usually ate.
The relentless training!
This time, Arnold would just call it a warmup. It was already three days to go, and although he could still practice several times, that wasn\'t what Arnold planned to do throughout these remaining days.
No...
Only training was not the way...
Arnold had come to discover this long ago.
He decided to watch Royal Rumble matches with the highest rating on the internet. There were ten of them.
Ten great royal rumble matches of ten years!
With the unrelenting desire to gain knowledge about this great match, he watched and observed every move that appeared to be remarkable and learned from the best.
Not just the winners but those who were just able to maintain a long time in the match but were unlucky.
There was so much to learn from them as well...

"Common! Get into your car, let\'s race!"
Lila shouted in excitement to Mark as she walked over to Arnold\'s Range Rover Evoque.
"What are you doing, Lila? Do you really know how to drive?" Mark\'s brows furrowed. He had been warning her not to use the car so carelessly just because Arnold handed it over to her before leaving.
Honestly, how could someone who doesn\'t have a car be able to drive?
She was even attempting to race with Mark.
"No way, Lila. I\'m not in this," Mark told her politely, but it seemed to have angered her a little.
"Alright then, watch me drive to the end of the street, and back to hit you to the ground!" Lila said, powered the car, and zoomed off with a frightening speed.
"Lila!!! OH MY... F**king God!"
The car sprinted as if like at its peak speed, frightening everyone on the quiet street away. The sound of the car alone was able to show the level of Lila\'s craziness.
"Is that how people without a car behave?" Mark couldn\'t help asking, stunned.
However, while he was there, wondering, a sudden sound made his eyes widen.
*BOOM!*
