Chapter 32 - The End Of The Tournament (2/2)
”I am only telling the truth and besides with what you have achieved today, no one is going to look down on you if you were to lose now” replied the bracelet.
Jason was still in the middle of discussing with the bracelet when the elder stepped into the arena and announced.
”Without wasting any more of your time, the final will begin right now ”.
After the announcement was made, Jason was called forward by the elder before he called on Austin as they stared at each other but to Jason's amazement, Austin was still carrying the smile on his face.
”Nice one Jason, who would have thought that you will be able to beat Larry of all people with only a punch even though you trick him into it” said Austin still smiling right after the elder left the arena.
”Every man have to do what they have to do in order to win and what I did was use my brain” replied Jason with a straight face.
”Haha, I like that. But you see, you will need more than just your brain to beat me” said Austin coldly.
Jason took a fighting stance when Austin said those words but was rendered speechless after hearing the word that came after.
”But luckily for you, I don't have interest in fighting a weak opponent so how about having a match with me in two weeks” said Austin with a smile.
”What about the tournament, ain't you aiming to be the winner” asked Jason.
”It's your win kid since I never have the intention of winning anyway other than to battle with a strong opponent and sharpen my skills, so did you agree” replied Austin.
”Before I do, I would like to ask you what kind of fight we are going to have” asked Jason.
”Haha, you don't need to worry about that. Just like this tournament, we are going to fight without taking life and there will also be someone to supervise the match just to make sure things don't go wrong” replied Austin.
”Well if you say so then I agreed to fight you in two weeks” said Jason.
After coming into terms with Jason, Austin lifted his hand into the air and said for someone to hear.
”I forfeit this match”
There was a great uproar when Austin said those words as no one expected him to. The elder took a step forward as he asked Austin just to be clear that he heard clearly.
”Are you sure you want to forfeit the match”.
”What fun will it be if I were to fight an exhausted opponent, so I forfeit” replied Austin.
The elder didn't say anything further to Austin before turning to face the crowd as he announced for everyone to hear.
”Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it, the winner of the tournament, Jason Mccray”.
There was no cheer coming from the crowd as they were stunned.
”There you have it kid, now if you don't mind I will be taking my leave” said Austin before walking out of the arena but before he could walk far away, he turned back to look at Jason before saying.
”See you in two weeks”.
