The Cheat Seed

Chapter 39

"MY SON'S BACK!!! AND HE'S READY FOR THE BATTLE"

Albert shouted to the King who was still in his golden chariot. It was being pulled by four horses instead of the normal two horses.

The King's eye went wide and he put his head out of the carriage. Blocking his view, his son Gabriel Richard put his head through the open window from the opposite side.

His face was tense and he had a handsome feature.

Gabriel got out of his carriage first and walked to Albert. His cat blue eyes found Albert's green pupils. He had a low taper fade haircut which was cleanly cut and was fresh. The sides and back were perfectly blended while the medium-length green hair on top was textured and brushed back.

"If he doesn't want to be humiliated in front of thousands of people in the Arena Tomorrow tell him to lick my shoes."

Gabriel said with a smirk.

Albert flashed a grin in return and went closer to the King's son. He bent over to Gabriel's ear.

"It would be good for you if you did that with my son's shoe....Trust me I'll let him know to add a bit of sugar on top"

Albert whispered back and pushed him back gently.

Gabriel raised his hands to hit him but his hands stopped midway. He stopped when he saw his rival's father. Albert didn't even cower, he was smiling at him and suddenly he felt it, a crushing presence behind him. He turned back with a jolt and slashed at the air.

The passing by people snickered in a low voice at Gabriel's action. He eventually heard people smiling and talking about him. He stomped the ground and the crowd went silent. Enraged, Gabriel made his way back to the Carriage and sat opposite to his dad with an angry scowl.

The King saw his Son's expression and got raged himself. But he maintained his posture for the sake of his appearance and stepped out of the Carriage.

Two of the royal guards followed behind him with long golden spears which were SC ranked artifacts, one with the fire attribute and the other with the water attribute.

Albert noticed it when he saw the symbols of fire and water etched on its respective staff.

The King paced towards his previous weapon managing mage,

"Albert G Orno"

The king proclaimed.

"As I promised and as my son said, The Battle between our sons will be held tomorrow evening at the Capital Revokers Arena"

The King said with a smile. Cheers could be heard from behind them, The crowd had been waiting for this match for two long years. They knew this was going to be a one sided match.

But little did they know the opponent the King's son was going to face would be A Beast in disguise.

...

After silencing the crowd, the king bent towards Albert's ear.

"You should have kept quite and continued your worthless life with your worthless son...Look what you have made me do"

The king whispered to the Man in front of him and brought his face back to look at Albert. He was expecting Fear from him but instead all he got was the same grin Albert gave his son.

"Have a nice travel....King"

Albert said as he made his way back to his carriage with a smile on his face.

He turned back to the king while he walked and said something silently, his lips were the only thing which were moving.

But The King's Super Sense helped him lip read his Next day rival.

"I'll....Tell...my...son. to...go..easy..on.. yours"

The king almost tore his huge robe when he finished Albert's words. He scurried back to his carriage in a mighty rage and scolded his Guards to move faster.

Soon the king was on his way and the public was back to normal. Even though the people present there gave a look at Albert and the carriage they were riding a gaze of curiosity and Interest, Marcus didn't seem to notice them.

He was chilling inside and was playing with the toothpick l, biting its end with his front tooth and then back flipping it into a perfect catch by his molars.

They reached the Beach area within 15 minutes. Albert sent off the Carriage after paying it the wage and scurried back to his family, who were waiting in front of Dave's Villa Gate.

Marcus looked in awe at his Best friend's Villa and took a quick tour around it. He was back with his family in 2 seconds. Albert let a small flame fly into the Villa through the open window.

The closed door opened quickly and Aaron jolted towards them, wearing Yellow Bermuda shorts and light blue unbuttoned cotton shirt.

Marcus could notice some grey hairs in his Friend's dad's buzz cut. He looked behind Aaron trying to find Dave. He thought he was going to be buried by him once he got back.

Aaron opened the gate quickly and welcomed the family of five. He gave a hug to Albert and shook Reiren's hand. He gently pinched Evy's and Iris's cheeks and finally set his eyes on the tall young man in front of him. The Long lost boy.....

"Happy Birthday Marcus"

Aaron took him by a handshake first to a tight hug.

"I'm so happy to see you again son"

Aaron pushed Marcus a bit and looked at him from top to bottom.

"You even outgrew Dave!!...And you look smoking hot son!!!"

Aaron gasped and looked at Albert realizing how his friend's words were true.

Girls were gonna go mad over him.

"I hope you turn him back to normal Marcus"

Aaron faded out his words at Marcus's confused looks.

"Fine...Enough with the hugs, let's get you inside the Villa"

Aaron broke the silence as he clapped and led them to the door.

Meya Vagner (Dave's mom) hugged Reiren and then wished Marcus her birthday wishes. She looked at Aaron and motioned towards Marcus with her eyes. She was in awe at the transformation of that once short lumpy boy. Aaron shook his shoulders and opened his eyes wide.

When Marcus walked past Meya to the door she felt the chills down her spine as if a Commander was walking past her.

"Aunty, Where's Dave?"

Marcus asked, turning around to face her.

"He is Upstairs"

Albert looked at Aaron and then Meya. The Parents of Dave and Marcus flashed a gaze at each other and nodded.

They took over Marcus and Reiren told him to sit on the sofa next to the entry. Albert nodded to Aaron as he went upstairs to get Dave.

Meya and Reiren went to the kitchen to get the cake Meya had prepared to the living room.

Evy and Iris played with each other on the sofa.

Marcus's jaw slacked when he saw the decorations on the wall.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCUS This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

was written hugely on the wall straight in front of him and all types of food were set up on the table.

Albert helped the ladies when they brought the huge cake to the hall. Marcus looked in awe at the huge chocolate cake and got up to help them. But Albert shook his head and smiled, telling him to sit on the

sofa and relax.

Footsteps echoed from the stairway and Aaron emerged out of the darkness as the lights upstairs went off.

Aaron gave a quick glance at Marcus and then to Albert.

Another set of footstep echoed from the stairway. Long legs emerged out of the darkness along with the short trouser worn bottom. The light hit the Tshirt covered torso.

Marcus heaved in a huge breath. His heart was beating like crazy. What was his friend's reaction going to be like?.

The light finally shone on the fair, smooth face of Dave Vagner as his steps stopped at the end of the stairs. His Yellow shoulder length hair was set to the right and it waved back at the sea breeze from the window.

Dave's narrow eyes greeted Albert first and then Reiren. He left a huge sigh and almost walked off to the kitchen when his eyes caught a young man staring at him, his teeth shining as he opened his mouth in a wide grin.

His steps stopped and breath seized, the gloomy yellow pupils widened into a roll when Dave Vagner realized a similar face out of the handsome low-knot manbunned man sitting in front of him.

There was no mistake, It was Marcus G Orno, his long lost friend.

And right after a second of staring at each other, there was a flash of light and a hole in the wall which showed the view of the almost destroyed curb while Dave dragged Marcus under him....
