Chapter 61 - Side story 2 (1/2)

----Training Ground of Yue----

The announcer made the statement: ”The track for 400 meters is open, So the chose troopers are requested to jump on the field. I repeat; soldiers get ready for the race.”

The sport takes place in a running track, Yue Xiang occupied in lane-1 while the purple-eyed kid took lane-2. Also, there was an intense air within these two kids, and they had a deep fired gaze.

In the corner tent, two big shadows were watching the showdown between their grandkids with a silly smile on their lips. General Yue with a Cheshire Cat grin, he boasted in a fawning tone: ”My Xiang won everything with a far-fetched new record in every game.”

The other person in a Half-lidded eyes rebuked: ”This time. my child will create a new era in your camp.”

A shock wave transmitted amid these two while the other who can't withstand the deadly aura had a tear burst out of their eye: 'So, Scarry.'

Runners started the race from a standing position along a curved starting line, and after hearing the starting pistol, they headed towards the track to follow the quickest route to the finish trace the race.

The black-haired purple kid dashed like no-tomorrow and passed the finish line. Then he gazed up to hear his winning declaration with a shining eye.

Announcement: ”The winner of 400m race is Soldier-0754, and runner up is Soldier-0766.”

The purple kid pounded on the floor in bewilderment: ”That's impossible.”

Yue Xiang titled his head toward his Grandfather and gave a broad smile. GrandFather Yue chuckled while slapping his neighbor's shoulder: ”That place only belongs my grandkid.”

The other came out to light and revealed to be GrandFather Xiao in his 45's, he let out a snort and justified: ”My brat is only 2 seconds slow to beat you up. Today was your brat's lucky day.”

Like an old friend, GrandFather Xian nudged his buddy elbow and whispered: ”How about you let that kid marry my grand-daughter?”

General Yue gave him a dirty look and denied: ”Dream on, No girl can match my Xiang's strength.”

---Back to the ground----

Yue Xiang stared at the scoreboard in recondite thought and then lent his hand for the purple kid and expressed: ”You're stronger than I envisioned, Not Bad.”

The purple kid's lip gave a light-smile and accepted his help: ”Sorry, I was rash at the beginning.”

Yue Xiang's eye contradicted in ambivalence, yet he hid it and expressed: ”It's okay. My name is Phantom.”

”Phantom!” The kid weaved his head in a riddle.

A little officer close to Yue Xiang clarified: ”That was his nickname from our captain.”

The purple-eyed kid: ”Oh, Then mine is Maleficent.”

Soon they both acknowledged their strength and went near General tent.

---Inside the tent----

General Yue welcomed his Grandson with big applause and embraced him tightly: ”My pride of Yue.”

GrandFather Xiao held his Grandkid and stated: ”How do you feel?”

The purple-eyed kid gazed a Yue Xiang and pouted: ”Just a little bit more, I would have got it.”

General Yue can't help himself to admit that purple kid's stamina and strength, so he patted the purple kid's head: ”You're amazing, next time that battle would be more intense.”

GrandFather Xiao with a giggle all over: ”The offer is still valid.”
