Chapter 141: Getting a vice president
Arnold ended up renting the stadium to Slamdown for the show in England, earning up to fifty thousand dollars from the deal. He then joined the fifty thousand dollars to the two hundred thousand dollars he had and decided to settle the debts of the management on the players and staff.
After thoroughly settling every debt, he only had sixty thousand dollars left with him, but it was fine. At least, he had completed the mission by making good use of this opportunity despite other businessmen refusing to push through.
Arnold had a feeling that things could turn out well, and he had decided to invest more in the club as far as he would get paid from his professional wrestling job, his ambassadorship deal with Horny Tyres, and his investment in those new companies.
There was hope.
Plus...
Although he had been a football club president, that doesn't mean that he would let go of his professional wrestling career. He was just at the beginning stages and still had to achieve his dreams of winning all titles in the show.
It had always been his dream to fight in a professional wrestling ring for years no matter how rich he became.
Most importantly, the system had urged him to keep up being a professional wrestler since it aimed to make him the greatest and also keep him in the right influential position before The Arrival.
Till today, Arnold had no idea of what this Arrival was all about, but he had learned to be patient and just increase his effort to get prepared for whatever was coming.
The next thing that Arnold did was to employ a vice president since the former vice president left with the former president. They had reportedly been stranded by managing the falling organization, as the business was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Now, Arnold had no idea if had saved the club or not... He only knew that whatever problem that might happen next would be on his head. He was calm and courageous anyway since he believed that high risks brought high rewards.
This was actually what had brought him this far.
He had worked so hard relentlessly in the pursuit of greatness, and it was already showing off. At this stage of his life, he had come to discover that effort never fails.

"Indeed, effort will never fail you... Just don't give up while trying."
Saying those words to himself, Arnold smiled as memories of the past flashed back. The ones that lingered the most were the period he went into the streets to pick dumped metals, the starvation, and the mockeries in the university.
All these were in the past, but they still left a hole in Arnold's heart, making it impossible for him to forget. Although it wasn't as if they caused a burden, he only judged that these pieces would never be erased until his death...
After all, it was a story to tell to the youngsters that are coming up.
...
"I want you to take good care of the club while I'm away... Disappointment would only mean one thing, and you know that?"
"Yes sir," the voice of a young lady with ocean blue hair and raven eyes sounded in Arnold's office. "I promise to do my best to revive the glory of this club. You have my word, sir," she added.
Arnold spared a look and nodded. "Perfect. This is the kind of pledge I want to hear. Now you are titled Vice President of Ipswich Town. Congratulations," Arnold spoke.
"It's my humble pleasure, sir. Thanks for this great opportunity," the lady, Kia Williams said.
With Kia Williams as the vice president, who would take care of all the things that Arnold did when he was away, everything was set.
Arnold could now go for his main dream to conquer the professional wrestling world.
He wasn't stopping anytime soon!
He went ahead to get himself prepared for his next match as a Slamdown superstar. This time he was assigned to take on Jay D.
Jay D?
Yes, you heard me right. The same Jay D he fought in the Royal Rumble match at Fallout. Why did they have to create a match between them? Arnold just didn't know. He only just had to take it like it was a normal fixture of the management.
Manager Jack Harris was someone who wanted the fans to be eager and excited to watch every match. He would always captivate the viewers with stunning matches that they never expected, and this was just one of them.
Sure, Max Fury was still in the Intercontinental division, while Jay D was in the Universal Championship division... If one thought deeply about this, one would wonder why they had to fix a battle between them.
Although there were cases when superstars in the Universal division fought against the Intercontinental stars, that doesn't mean that Max Fury should be driven to such an event when he was just a new guy.
However, due to the fact that both men were willing to fight against themselves, the issue didn't cause a stir for long, as it was suddenly replaced by excitement and anticipation.
Arnold decided to prepare really well for the match because he knew that fighting Jay D one-on-one wouldn't be at the level of other matches. He could say that this was going to be the toughest one-on-one match in his entire career, and Jerry Blaze and Tristan Black couldn't even be compared to Jay D.
If not for the quick controversial win Andrew Jack had against him in the steel cage match, Arnold wasn't sure that Andrew could defeat Jay D that easily.
He had fought against Jay D for a while in the Royal Rumble match, so he knew what stuff he was made of.
When the Slamdown superstars traveled to England, Arnold had to pretend like he had no business with the organization. This was his plan from the beginning after buying the club. They have been using an invisible identity as the president of Ipswich Town, naming him Coleman.
Not only was the world unaware of who was the true current president of Ipswich Town, but Arnold's family.
Even Mia.
Now, he only wanted to create a huge money-making foundation for himself, and not just become the greatest professional wrestler in the future...
But also became the most wealthy man that ever existed.
