Chapter 85: Corey Gallagher
It was crazy why Tristan Black would want to avenge what Corey Gallagher did against his brother. Arnold and Jack Harris were massively stunned by that statement, almost causing Arnold's heart to skip.
He had heard that his brother had become a gangster, but he still didn't know what might have led to Tristan's rage.
He was only dumbfounded at that moment.
"Oh my... Jesus Christ, Tristan Black?! Why would you have to avenge it on his brother?" Jack Harris's face turned dark.
However, Tristan still had an indifferent look on his face.
"Because I wouldn't get revenge if I confronted him. His brother has to pay... With that, he would feel avenged," Tristan said casually despite the boiling pressure in the office.
"And what if he comes for you then?" Jack hesitated and asked.
However, just as Tristan was about to speak, Arnold cut in.
"He would never attack you even if you kill me. It's fine; after all, you wouldn't take my life," Arnold smiled at Tristan.
That time, the manager had become more confused... Although there was a hint of shock on Arnold's face because of Tristan's crazy decision, he never panicked.
No!
Why would he?!
"By the way, what has his brother done to you?" Jack Harris wanted to ask this question.
"I was attacked by him and his gang on my way to my girlfriend's house seven weeks ago. They had my car and five thousand dollars... My phone, my wristwatch, and every materially valuable stuff I had," Tristan had a change of mood as he explained.
At this point, Arnold's eyes were cold and dark. Years back, he had known his brother as a pathetic drunkard, but if one told him that he would become a robber one day, he wouldn't hesitate to punch that person in the face.
But it was certain now... Tristan wasn't only the first person who had told him about his brother's act, Audrey had told him everything as well.
There was a time when Arnold heard a news about a robbery in Los Angeles, with the reporters stating that it was a raid by the "XP Gang".
His mother had told him the name of Corey's gang after all, and this was why he came to notice.
Right now, Arnold was stunned with one thought in his mind, which quickly drove him to throw a question at Tristan Black.
"But how did you know that he is my brother?"
Arnold glared at the white-skinned man with suspicion. And at that point, Tristan was suddenly stunned away, his arms jerking as if like a fish being caught on a hook.
Arnold raised his brows at him and turned to the general manager, who was crazily putting on a curious look on his face. At the same time, the general manager and Arnold returned their gaze to Tristan.
"Hmmm?" Arnold was all ears.
But for quite a moment, Tristan didn't say a word, making both Arnold and the manager flinch.
"The robbers are always masked up on a raid, so I still don't know how you saw his face, or recognize him as my brother."
"What do you mean?! Haven't all Western America seen his face? His identity had been discovered after his face was exposed, so isn't that enough?" Tristan tried to explain.
He had a frown on his face, but Arnold's was more intense.
"That's not the point, champ. I mean, how did you get to know that my brother's gang was the one who robbed you? Besides, how did know that I have a brother who is a robber?"
"Having the same surname doesn't mean two people are related... The crazy thing is that you didn't see the face of the guys who got you robbed, and now you call them my brother's gang?!" Arnold raged.
At that moment, Tristan Black hit his fist on the table and stood up.
"That? I don't care! What I know is your brother's gang robbed me, and I would make him pay by destroying you!"
"I am not after your title; I am after your destiny and your career! I will make sure you never step your feet in a wrestling ring after fighting me!"
Tristan Black said these words with burning eyes, his voice echoing like a distant thunder.
However, Arnold was still calm and collected. He knew that Tristan had a lot hidden behind him about the robbery case, so he took it as a minor issue.
The fact that XP Gang never had any logo or symbol made Arnold believe that there was no way he could know that they were the attackers. Basically, he had judged this as a plot... Tristan really had to be questioned.
However, before Arnold could utter a word, Tristan frowned at him and manager Harris before walking away.
"You are after my destiny and career?!"
"Well, I'm simply after your Grindhouse Alpha Championship Title!"
Arnold shouted from behind as Tristan walked away, but he didn't mind saying a word and just left the office.
When he was out of sight, Arnold turned to the manager and heaved a sigh.
The manager could see the rays of anger all over Arnold's eyes, but his perplexity couldn't make him think properly at all.
It was clear that there was more to Tristan's challenge, but Arnold just couldn't get it...
This was the first time he was getting such a strange challenge from a strange person...
Indeed Tristan Black was strange!
"This challenge is kind of a controversial topic, you both would need to sign a Life-threatening Contract before it can be officially fixed. Anyone who attempts death would be fired, and arrested. That is all I can say for now," Jack Harris declared.
Arnold walked out of the office with a mind filled with many thoughts... Thoughts that, unfortunately, seemed like a load.
Now, he not only saw Tristan as a strange challenger, he was a different kind of monster to him.
He only had to prepare for what was coming because he knew Tristan would do what it took to fight him.
He wasn't going to disagree anyway...
Although Tristan Black was keeping a strange secret, that wouldn't stop the fact that a wrestling match was STILL a wrestling match.
If Tristan really wanted to avenge whatever Corey did on Arnold...
Well, Max Fury would be ready!
"I'll be looking forward to it!"
