Chapter 323: Doorway to the future (1/2)
As Nick glared menacingly at Ben who was grappling in the last semi-final match of the purple belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament, the eye-candy himself wasn't having as good of a time. His opponent was a tough one. In truth, Ben hoped to challenge himself by not using his soul attacks, pushing his techniques to the limit as he honed his skills. That was until he remembered he was the MC. 'F*ck it! Gold-finger!'
When did MCs ever have to hold back from using their world-breaking abilities? Ben wasn't trying to insult his fans by getting too creative…
He glanced at his opponent. ”Hey bro, I bet when you brush your teeth, you hold the toothbrush still and shake your head like this.” Ben shook his head side to side at rapid speed.
…
”Wha— Huh?” The opponent blinked as his thoughts became cloudy.
”You look confused, boy…” Ben continued the onslaught.
The opponent didn't know how to respond.
”You seem like the type of dude that loves taking bubble baths.”
…
This opponent was talented and a hard-worker. He'd trained for years to get to this point. So why was it that when he was in the semi-finals of a BJJ tournament, all he could picture was a rubber ducky?
…
Not long after, Ben took advantage of his opponent's confusion and moved into a dominant position, and not long after…
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
He submitted the tough opponent, having secured a choke on the weakened warrior. As he got up, he couldn't help noticing all the glances at him, filled with confusion, shock, and awe. Ben snorted as he brushed his curly hair back with his fingers. 'Don't be jealous. Daddy uses a special conditioner.'
…
Valentina narrowed her eyes at him. 'I just know he's thinking something ridiculous right now…'
She'd seen that expression too many times already as Ben thought of random sh*t when they trained together.
She wasn't the only one with an unusual expression though. Ben's victory only made Nick's inner rage grow. He was to be fighting in the finals against a white belt? Is that a joke? What a damn embarrassment!
Nick was the strongest purple belt in the dojo. Win or lose, this would be a pathetic sight for him, showing that he was matched by some random newbie who got to his level. How could he accept that?
Nick gritted his teeth as certain scenes flashed before his eyes:
Ben unconscious laying on the mat, bleeding from his nose.
Ben crying out about his broken arm as it hung loosely from his body, causing everyone around to gasp in shock.
Ben turned around from him as a truck smashed into Nick's balls from behind. 'No!'
…
His breathing became heavy as he recalled that terrifying scene…
