Chapter 1090 By His Side
Chapter 1090 By His Side
All eyes were glued to their screens, not just in England, but all across the world as the championship fight dubbed *Clash of the Kings* was about to take place. In the apartment, Maya, Amy, and White were sitting side by side, watching the screen.
They had watched the fights beforehand on screen and now could see Gary walking onto the stage. The camera zoomed in on his face, showing the details of his expression.
“I… don’t like that look,” Maya said.
“What do you mean? Isn’t he just focused?” White commented.
“No, can’t you tell? He’s got so much on his mind right now, and I can tell something is bothering him. I knew we should have gone by his side, at least been there to cheer him on in person. I’m going now!” Maya said as she stood up.
It was Amy who had to drag her by her sleeve and bring her back to her side.
“Even if you left now, they closed the direct highway. It would take at least three hours. The fight’s not going to last that long. And I told you before, the best thing we can do is not be a distraction for him.”
There was something that was bothering her as well. Where was Kai, the person that was always by Gary’s side? She wondered if something had happened, and if she felt this way, she couldn’t imagine how Gary was feeling.
It was then that the camera swung to the side as they heard an almighty roar being called out, so loud that the microphones had picked it up.
“WE’RE HERE!” Kai shouted at the top of his lungs, spit coming out of his mouth. “WE’RE HERE TO WATCH YOU KICK HARVOR’S ARSE!”
The disturbance caused by one single person had made it silent for everyone in the arena. The voice, the scream—all of it was overbearing, and those close felt the great power.
Following up from that, after the moment of silence, was the crowd cheering to the top of their lungs.
“YEAH, THAT’S WHAT WE ALL CAME TO SEE!” another shouted.
The crowd was cheering on, and nearly 80 percent of it were there for support of Gary. Too long had they seen Harvor dominate the AFC scene—they now wanted to see something different.
Immediately, One Gang members came rushing to the top banister where the others were, but they weren’t even able to reach Kai, who didn’t even turn his head to give them attention.
Marie avoided a hit, pulled on a man, and kneed him in the face, knocking him out. Park just threw out the first punch, hitting the man and sending him back
For Olvia, they didn’t even want to approach her, as her stance alone was enough to put them off from getting to her, leaving the others to take them out.
The One Gang members kept coming, but the Howlers group was easily able to fend them off, beating them up just enough so they weren’t able to get back up again and go for another round.
The crowd was somewhat getting into what was happening as it was quite entertaining. It was almost a fight happening right in front of their eyes.
The crowd did start getting spooked as they were trying to move away from the commotion that was happening.
Until, the people who were coming to try and take Kai and the others out stopped approaching them.
When the camera showing the TV screen zoomed back on Gary’s face, everyone could see a big smirk. It was the first time since Gary had entered that he looked so confident, so relaxed.
Lifting his hand up, Gary gave a thumbs-up in the direction of Kai and the others.
“I’ll do my job,” Gary said as he looked at Harvor directly. “Harvor… I promise you one thing: today will be the toughest day of your life, and as I said before, you made a big mistake by getting involved with me and those that I care about!”
Harvor equally pounded his fist into his hand.
“Oh, how many times have I heard those words before? I hope you can really prove it to me this time!”
Elsewhere in the stadium, Rickle and Dean were continuing to carefully search several areas. They had even gone to the food vendors and were trying to get information without attracting attention.
There was an incredibly large number of One Gang members, in their gang clothing, observing the place. Sometimes they would follow them for a while, but it would lead to nowhere.
In all this time, they still hadn’t been able to locate Rumper. If anything, Rickle was quite impressed with how well they were hiding a non-gang member.
While walking around, though, there were several times when Dean would hold out his phone, looking constantly for updates on what was happening. Even though he was right there in the stadium, he was still unaware of what was going on.
When the loud cheers went off, he quickly pulled out his phone, looking at the updates that were taking place.
Hearing this, Rickle eventually stopped in his tracks and turned around.
“Go… just go. I can’t do this, even me.”
“What do you mean?” Dean asked, practically keeping one eye glued to his phone while trying to look at Rickle.
“I’m saying just go watch your son’s fight. It must be torture for you, so just go.”
Dean hesitated for a moment, thinking it might have been some type of test as he held the phone, but right then, he didn’t care. He wanted to be by his son’s side, and he ran to the stadium as quickly as he could to watch the biggest event. He was going to be by his side this time.
