BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80: Promises
Lila announced her acceptance within a short moment. Although it had taken a while before she could respond, the most important fact was that the result wasn\'t negative in the end.
Arnold shook himself out of the astonishment and smiled...
"Really? Thank you," Arnold didn\'t wait for another response before thanking her.
Her cold gaze had turn bright and normal, indicating that she had erased the grudges, wholeheartedly.
"You are still my friend, even though you leave for the top shows or even another promotion," Lila smiled at him, then she turned to Mark with an indifferent look.
Arnold also did the same, having noticed that Mark, who he thought would forgive easily, wasn\'t saying a word.
Mark had stopped running on the treadmill, but he never said a word either. He was only staring at Arnold and Lila as they spoke, but basically had no specific facial reaction at that moment.
"Mark, what do you say?" Lila threw a slight glare at him, raising her brows.
It was now that Mark shook his head and tried to say something.
"Well... Since Lila already let it slide, I will too," though with a complicated look on his face, he said.
Arnold noticed that this acceptance didn\'t went deep into Mark\'s mind, but he was fine. Since he already decided to let go of the issue, there was no problem anymore.
"Thank you, bro," Arnold gave his right hand for a shake, which Mark couldn\'t help but accept.
"We had no gain staying on our own. We always needed you, Max. And I\'m glad that you remembered us... Not all Superstars can do that," Lila spoke while continuing to run on the treadmill next to Mark\'s.
Upon hearing her statement, Arnold could only nod. Truthfully, his main reason for coming to them was his growing love and guilt... He couldn\'t afford forgetting that he had good friends like Mark and Lila...
It was only going to hunt him down.
That was his inevitable personality. Arnold was a young chap who had the moral influence of his mother. He was someone who would always feel bad for the slightest wrong he made... Literally, he wouldn\'t want people to feel inferior around him or because of his deeds.
He always aimed to be the humble, kind-hearted person that people would always talk about. Not just a wrestler, but a good influence!
"How long have you guys been here?" Arnold hesitated for a while before asking.
"Since 5am," Mark replied but continued his training.
His response made Arnold stunned... Not because he replied to his question, but with the fact that they had been here for over six hours.
(11:19 AM).
Arnold had to check his smartphone to confirm, and he eyes widened at that instant.
"What... This is...
"The first time we have trained so long on our own. Yes," Lila finished the statement in Arnold\'s mind, seeing that the astonishment had repeatedly made him stammer.
"Whoa, cool... I can join, right?" He then asked.
He deliberately turned to face Mark while asking that question.
"Sure," Mark didn\'t seem to have any cold look as he replied, so Arnold smiled, nodded, and approached another treadmill planted close to Mark\'s by the right.
Lila was on Mark\'s left hand side.
The three continued the treadmill running session for quite a while, with Arnold feeling less exhausted since he only came not long ago.
Even after a considerable moment, Arnold was still strong and relentless. Although his friends never saw it strange since they knew that Max Fury was a young hidden monster.
However, Arnold was amazed on the other hand.
Despite the exhaustion after several hours, Mark and Lila insisted not to rest. Although they reduced the speed of the treadmill after a while, they still didn\'t relent.
This was the first time Arnold was having this experience with them, which actually made him astounded.
Nonetheless, he didn\'t say a word.
They continued running on treadmills for a few hours more, even making the other wrestlers in the gym house send strange glances at them.
Arnold saw that Mark and Lila had really become too desperate, so he guessed he had to do something to at least, spare them a time to rest...
Mark and Lila accepted to stop because he asked them to... He told them that he had something to say to them, and it was best that they talked about it in the cafeteria.
Mark and Lila also believed him, since he wasn\'t seen as just as ordinary human in their face. He was just like a strange being sent from heaven just to go become a professional wrestler.
"Sure, let\'s go have breakfast then."
Arnold came to discover that his friends never had breakfast before coming to the gym house. Well, he haven\'t either, but the Mark and Lila he knew never joked with their meals...
Now they had starved themselves to...
(3:27 PM).
It was almost evening though!
Arriving at the cafeteria, they both sat around one table and ordered for the same meal. Arnold decided not to eat Pasta at this time, deciding to eat some rice, chicken and tomato sauce with a lot of vegetables.
Vegetables helps...
Mark and Lila had ordered the same, so they both began to eat.
While they ate for a while, there were cold silence, but Arnold guessed it was time to break it
"I came up with an idea, and I have made up my mind to teach you both different skills to improve," Arnold said.
Mark and Lila both raised their heads to look at Arnold and then smiled right after.
"I promise to do my best... One day, you both would be one of the best fighters alive."
He tried to motivate them as well, which they were actually feeling.
Especially Lila, she was having a wide smile after his promises, impatient to see herself really advancing.
As it was Max Fury who made hardcore training, win all matches and made incredible improvements, there was hope...
And happiness.
While Lila smiled, something flashed into her mind, which she couldn\'t help but let out.
"Max, I hope you could teach me how do that stuff you were practicing last night!"
With this said, Arnold\'s eyes broadened in shock!
