BXBX NOVEL Chapter 88: A Great Additional Challenge
"What the f**k?!"
Selina Greenwood wasn\'t only older, she was married!!!
This basically made Arnold\'s head spin, but he managed to hold on to his sanity. Without much time to ponder around, he decided to ignore it.
Yes, he would ignore his boss\'s date proposal! She couldn\'t do anything after all, and he mostly didn\'t want to get distracted in these crucial times.
He had ignored the interview and endorsement deals as well, just hoping he would get back to them after dealing with Tristan Black.
Later that day, he and his friends went up to the hills to have a running climb. It amazed Arnold that they had really improved in this aspect as well, having the endurance to even reach the end for once.
Lila, who is known for her quick exhaustion, stunned him by reaching the end point even before Mark...
She literally had been doing better than him lately.
Arnold spent the rest of the day watching Tristan Black\'s match videos on his Laptop device, trying to observe a few skills that could be used against this man.
Although it was hard to study someone as fast, cunning, and strong as Tristan, Arnold believed he learned quite a few things in moves... Even though they only could be used for defense.
He would just keep watching and try to study more later on anyway.

Another Wednesday night came, the Grindhouse Wrestling show began.
Today, Manager Jack Harris had urged both Max Fury and Tristan Black to meet in the ring for a contract signing, with all useful and safety terms having to be accepted and signed.
Lila had her first match after four weeks and fortunately won, causing a pleased smile on his face. The most interesting part was that she used the Broad Kick to finish her opponent, giving the little fans she had a bit of hope.
Unfortunately, Mark wouldn\'t be participating in the show tonight, but he already had a Candlestick Match against Thane Ryder next week... Probably the final conflict between the rivals...
When it was time for the contract signing, Arnold walked into the arena and straight to the ring, clad in a blue suit and blue shoes.
As expected, his fans cheered for him as he stepped in with the Grindhouse Omega Championship Title around his waist.
"Max Fury! Max Fury! The Legacy!!!"
"Max Fury! Max Fury! Omega Champion!"
Songs of praise and acknowledgment echoed from the congregation, causing the arena to receive a great aura.
Manager Jack Harris was already in the ring with the papers. A table and two office chairs have been kept opposite each other around the table.
Five security officers could be seen also... While four of them stood by the ring corners, one was standing by the table side.
Arnold entered the ring with less attention to the setting, approaching the ring corner and climbing the top turnbuckle to show off his title to the world!
"YEAH!!!"
Thanks to the storming theme music, his "Max Fury" personality couldn\'t have been good enough if not for its great, iconic sound.
When Max Fury was done with his display, it took a while before Tristan Black\'s theme song echoed in the arena.
Of course, there were loud shouts as well... Tristan Black had a lot of fans due to his unnatural performance in the ring.
Yeah, he was known for devastating moves like the KO Punch, Belly To Belly Slam, and his terrifying finisher, "The Black Mask".
As of now, his finisher was ranked as the number one most crucial finishing moves in Grindhouse Wrestling, and the eighteenth in the entire Ultimate Revolution Wrestling Promotion!
Max Fury\'s Sorrowful Kiss was ranked as the second most crucial in Grindhouse Wrestling but ranked as the 34th in the entire promotion.
The RKO hadn\'t been kept to record since it only had appeared once, and Max Fury didn\'t really deliver it the right way. He delivered a flying RKO, which by the rules, isn\'t the actual RKO!
But Arnold was satisfied... After all, he didn\'t care about where his finishers were ranked. He only aimed to win any match with them, regardless.
Tristan stepped into the ring after some moments of showoffs. His first gaze was thrown against Arnold. Immediately, he went through the ropes. The truth was that he had been eying the Omega right from when he was outside the ring!
Arnold only stared back casually, no hint of fear or panic on his face...
In the next moment, the Manager gestured to them to take a seat. Max Fury and Tristan Black took a seat facing themselves oppositely... Strange and fierce looks could seen on their faces, increasing the pressure on the congregation side.
"We have to officially announce the Grindhouse Wrestling universe; in two weeks, Grindhouse Wrestling will be witnessing their greatest match ever!" Jack Harris began a speech to the fans.
"YEAH!!!!"
"Alpha Champion Tristan Black would be taken on Omega Champion Max Fury with both titles on the line. It would be a Winner Takes All Match!!!"
The fans showed their excitement, and it was nothing but the usual screams.
Then, Harris turned to the champions right after. He then urged them to read the terms and sign the contract.
Did
Tristan was the first to begin the reviewing as though he was hoping to see a certain feature in the papers... While he studied the terms, he came to a certain line and stopped.
(Match Type: One Fall [Normal].)
Then, Tristan stood up from his seat and threw a glance at Max Fury.
"Max Fury, I challenge you... That match should be a Steel Cage Match!?!" Tristan finally let out what was in his mind.
"WHOA OH! What a challenge from the Alpha Champion!" A commentator lamented.
This time, while still sitting, there was a pressurized sensation in Arnold\'s heart...
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!! Yes!!"
Even the fans themselves wanted him to accept that challenge, leaving Arnold with no choice.
His heart had hardened as if like stone, his brain already feeling like it would pop out the next moment. However, Max Fury had to face his fears, ready to confront anything that came his way...
And especially prove to the Grindhouse Wrestling universe that he is a fighting champion.
With a cold yet fearless look on his face, Arnold looked Tristan Black in the face and spoke.
"Steel Cage Match?! I accept!"
