Chapter 117: Jinxed Part 3 (2/2)

”Wait you didn't want to fall?”

”Hell no! Are you crazy? I had no intention of dying! I was just hoping the extreme leap of faith would give you the courage you needed to pull through. I'm bloody glad I'm right; otherwise, that would have been a shitty way to go…”

Jinx laughed, shaking her head. ”You are sure something Alton. I guess I owe you an apology.”

”Save it. I'm not looking for one.” He winced, pulling himself up. ”So, what should I call you now?”

She thought for a little while before shaking her head. ”I'm still going to go with Jinx. Jinx Holly Montague. You, Alton, are one crazy son of a bitch can I say. Where did you get that heroic nature from? Zinnia?”

Alton shook his head, looking at the lava smiling faintly. ”No, I got it from someone else…”

Jinx manage to stand up as she wiped her mouth. ”The way I see it this contest is as good as yours. Don't go losing on me now or I will never forgive you. I give up.”

Jinx was teleported out, giving her points to Alton as he flipped the card around. ”Like I want your forgiveness.” Watching the jungle on fire for a little while longer, Alton decided to move on walking through the portal to the next region. He smirked, finding himself near the ocean. Seagulls were flying over, screaming at the sun as the soft brush of waves crashing against the beach. There was nothing much of interest around apart from what seemed to be a sunken ship and an abandoned lighthouse not too far away. The breeze of the ocean washed against Alton's face as he took a sigh of relief, finally finding a place which he could easily take advantage of. Checking his points once more, he glanced over how many streamers were left with a little over half defeated. He let out a small laugh seeing Gale already out, thoughts already rushed his mind into how he was going to rub it in. His eyes met with Zinnia's profile as he scratched the back of his neck. ”I wonder what you're up to Zin…”

The peaceful ocean sight was interrupted by loud yells and the crumbling of the ground. Alton heard this not too far from him as a threatening voice boomed as well a sighting a giant floating boulder. ”No one will stop me, not you, not the CEOs. Not even Alton Brantley and his dysfunctional allies either.”

The gigantic boulder was blown up as a gush of water past as Alton crashed to the ground bloody and beaten as he looked up at the Demon Mask with a mighty look. ”Oh, yeah wanna bet?”

Managing to put her mask back on the red glowed through the eyes as she stared down. ”Alton Brantley. It's been quite a while.”

”I have no idea what you're talking about, we've never met. But I have been looking forwards to our meeting. I've heard a lot about you from the others. The Syndicate family. Just what are you up to being here?”

”That's none of your business roach, but I can't let this situation go. I was born for this very moment, the moment where I kill Alton Brantley.”

Alton wiped his nose crouching down ready. ”Let's see what you've got then egomaniac.”
