Chapter 86: A special Game
Vritra’s smile widened. It was so easy to manipulate the idiots. The situation had played out just as he wanted. He glanced back at Fiona, who looked a bit frightened. She knew how clever and strong Vritra was, and she understood a bit that Max had just fallen into his trap.
Seeing his devil-like smile, she was even more sure of her thoughts. She walked towards him, wanting to sway Max not to fight against Vritra. She didn’t want the person she loved to be beaten like shit in front of everyone and then even lose his arm.
"Max, you shouldn’t fight him, he is—" she spoke, but Max instead got mad over her concerns and interrupted her.
"Why? Are you worried about him? Since he is your prince charming, saving the princess from danger every time?" he asked. He hated the memory where he saw her in Vritra’s arms. Poor Max didn’t know what was about to come.
"N- No, that wasn’t what I meant. I am just worried about you," Fiona said. She felt bad from his piercing words.
"OH, so you believe I am weaker than this bastard? Is that why you are always landing in his arms?" Max spoke, getting even angrier. He now understood that she felt Vritra is an even bigger bad boy than him, so she might be getting interested in him now.
"I... I didn’t mean that..." Fiona was at a loss for words. She wanted to persuade him not to fight, but Max just wouldn’t listen to her. Why had he changed so much?
"If you two want to fight, you can do so in the training area of the castle. If you don’t want to, then say so right now and not waste our time," a guard said. He had seen guys like that many times who would chicken out later on.
"Let’s go. We are betting our right arms in this fight," Max said with a menacing grin as he glared at Vritra, then looked at Fiona before turning around and walking away along with the guards, towards the castle.
"..." Vritra planned to break Max. He wanted Max to suffer knowing the girl he loved so much was being intimate with someone else. But first, he needed to change Fiona.
He too began to follow behind the guards, but Fiona pulled his arm and looked at him angrily.
