Chapter 146 Gyujin
Chapter 146 Gyujin
As Gyujin said those words, he began beating the living daylights out of Kelvin.
His face was disfigured in no time and he was barely hanging onto dear life while being unconscious.
The authorities couldn't afford to lose their star player like this and immediately stepped in to stop Gyujin.
However, at this point, Alex stood up from the spectators seat and lightly jumping from his spot, arrived right in front of the cage's entrance.
Alex was in a black hoodie and gray sweatpants. By no means did he look someone rich, but his overall charisma was enough for people to understand he definitely was someone of a big status.
The guards and the club officials that were charging towards the cage, Alex looked at them and said with a smile, "Calm your titties, dogs. Don't you want more money and viewerships?"
Saying so, Alex took out a big briefcase out of nowhere and threw it right in front of the charging guards.
The briefcase opened up and out of it appeared cash. Lots and lots of green cash.
The guards immediately got greedy as each bundle of money could sum up to tens of thousands of dollars.
They began picking up the paper thrown and looking at the officials in suits, Alex took out another briefcase and tossed it to them.
This case didn't have cash like the other one, instead it contained special items that would only interest Blesseds.
The briefcase didn't open up like before and the officials had to do it themselves. As they had a look at the inside, they were shocked out of their minds and gazed up to look at Alex.
Alex shook his hand and said, "Let this deathmatch continue. You'll find someone like Kelvin again anyway."
The officials couldn't help but nod. That was true. They were really just charging right now to save their star player, but it was not like they couldn't have another one anytime soon.
There were quite a few ready already to replace Kelvin but weren't given a chance to fight against him as the club needed those people for more viewerships.
Such underground fight clubs also wouldn't take place if they didn't have a few Blesseds in their ranks. To do anything illegal in the world, a solid connection with influential people was needed.
The items Alex thus provided were enough to shut these guys up and let the guy go.
On Gyujin's side, he totally turned Kelvin's face into paste. It was a scene far more gruesome than what Kelvin usually did.
The spectators were too shocked to even gasp and just stared at the thing happening in front of them. This was a sight they thought would appear only once in a lifetime and tried to burn the scene in their minds.
Gyujin's face was really serious as he finished off Kelvin. The betrayal his friend had suffered was far too distasteful and something which should've never happened.
Memories of his past flashed in front of Gyujin's eyes as he beat Kelvin.
Gyujin was a countryside kid and so was his friend. Both shared lots of happy moments but after they hit puberty, his friend developed an interest in combat sports.
The interest turned into a hobby which then turned into a profession.
His friend shifted to Seoul for better opportunities and being close friends, Gyujin followed along.
Eventually, Gyujin's friend won the regionals and went to nationals in combat sports. Then he went international and was finally noticed by the underground fight clubs.
Asian representation was far too less and as his friend needed money as well to support his sickly parents, he accepted the deathmatch offer and signed a year long contract.
He didn't say this to Gyujin as it would end up worrying him. It was a well kept secret and it was Gyujin himself who found out about it while scrolling through social media.
Before Gyujin could react though, his friend was already killed.
In grief, Gyujin promised to slaughter everyone involved, but kept his calm despite being really broken.
He signed a contract as well with the same fight club and here was, starting with his revenge.
Gyujin's friend, he had done nothing wrong. That guy was really good and was winning one match after another, but since the majority of the audience weren't Asians, he wasn't well liked.
The fight clubs were losing viewerships due to him and having no choice, the fight clubs decided to eliminate him for once and for all.
Nothing mattered to these guys other than viewerships as the money they made was not in hundreds or millions, but it was in the fricking billions!
All untaxed money, something which went straight into their pockets and made them ultra rich.
Gyujin's friend was first drugged skillfully and in the match, he wasn't able to perform optimally and ended up getting killed by Kelvin.
Kelvin gained more popularity from his kill and eventually, the viewerships came back.
Alex knew of this story due to the second regression.
Gyujin was a literal undead. This guy never really died despite there being many murder attempts happening to him.
In the current scenario, Gyujin would've been apprehended by the officials, but he would have the spectators' attention and would be cheered on for his killer moves.
At the start the spectators hated him due to his perfect looking physique and looks, but after he killed Kelvin, they would literally idolize and fawn over him.
Everyone would want to become like Gyujin and from this point onwards, he would become a loved child of this fight club.
However, Kelvin's death would turn him into a major assassination target and the higher ups of the fight clubs didn't really want an Asian to win all the fights in their own game.
They thus would try out all possible methods to kill Gyujin as naturally as possible so as to not upset the fans.
This all failed as Gyujin bounced back every single time.
He would then go on to become a really strong Blessed and right before the apocalypse, would end up annihilating all the fight club members involved in his friend's death as well as his own conflict.
This would be such a major blow that all forms of undergoing fighting would stop temporarily for a few years due to Gyujin's terror.
When they would try to come back, the apocalypse would happen and the fights would thus never take place again.
Gyujin was seriously talented and someone Alex needed on his side.
Not only would he be helpful in the apocalypse, he had the potential to be a great warrior who could fight against Immortals and Gods.
Gyujin had worked really hard to achieve whatever he had. He possessed zero talent but with hardwork and determination alone, he definitely could become a Guardian candidate in Asia without any blessings from Gods.
He of course couldn't beat the big shots like India's Jagan or China's Chen Yifan, but he definitely had the potential to at least beat the lower ranks.
With just the right Blessings, Gyujin could even rival Jagan and Chen Yifan. Those guys were formidable and survived through the whole apocalypse.
Though they were both killed tragically when ascending to the Higher Realm and it was quite sad.
Alex didn't want to remember it, but he did so anyway and felt his blood boil, knowing how cruel this damn universe was.
Suppressing his thoughts, Alex walked close to Gyujin and placing his hand on his shoulders, said softly, "He's dead. You can focus on other things now."
No one other than Gyujin understood the gravity of those words. If he wasn't a strong person, then he really would've broken down at this moment.
With not even a single drop of tear in his eyes, Gyujin nodded lightly and got up.
Him and Alex were almost similar in heights and as Alex faced him, he could stare right into his eyes.
While doing so, Alex said calmly, "You can take out all the people involved one by one. I can make it happen."
Gyujin gave a light nod. With the way Alex had acted a while ago, he believed him.
"What do you want?" Gyujin went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
While looking at him with calm eyes, Alex said, "I want you on my side. Are you willing to join?"
