Chapter 489: Making a scene
The next day, Sam was led out of his cell. Actually. He should be getting a new residence yesterday, but Fidi wanted to try the new publicity stunt and forgot about it. Anyway, he is not complaining about this place.
After coming to the back-stage room of the arena, Sam met with Fidi and the other supervisor who they are collaborating with and his name is Farun.
Today, both of the supervisors registered two matches between the fighters under them.
One of them is for Sam. Both of the supervisors have their two fighters near them.
Sam's fight is not the first one, the other fighters went into the ring and started fighting. Even today, the audience is not too low. At least, those who wanted to see Sam still came. Every day, after the fights are over there will be an announcement of the next day's fights within the Arena and there will also be a written notice at the entrance of the arena.
There is no other marketing plan other than this.
Sam didn't know how this works, but from his yesterday's talk with Fidi, he understood that most people who come here are Noble children who don't have much talent and occasionally some high-class nobles. The rest of them are above average working-class people.
They could still be considered rich. They are even some VIP audience in the front rows. Sam didn't get any more of the information. After all, Fidi has to trust him more to give me that. The first thing they learned in this place is that they shouldn't give any chances to the fighters to escape.
There are many cases, where the fighters tried their best to escape the place and many of them tried their best to get as much information as they can without anyone knowing.
There are even some cases that almost succeeded. So, they cannot easily divulge any information, even though it would be stupid to think that Sam wants to escape by fishing the information directly from the supervisor.
They watched the fight through the screen and soon, Sam started walking through one of the tunnels while his opponent went through another one.
Meanwhile, the fight in the Arena wasn't over. But it is in its final stages. The battle is pretty much one-sided and the winner is the fighter that belonged to Farun.
In two more blows, the fight was over. Even though it is as one-sided as Sam's fight, it is too boring.
There is no craziness that Sam displayed in tormenting his opponent present in this fight. It is too bland and the crowd is not that pleased, at least the higher level audience who are the ones that provide the income to the arena are not cheering or clapping.
As the fight was over, the winner showed off his victory by raising his hands up in the air. But at this moment, a cold voice poured cold water all over his victory.
"Get the fuck out. How much time do you need to show off this pathetic victory?"
The whole arena was stunned, they didn't expect this at all. After the audience saw who is talking, they burst into cheers once again. Sam is standing at the entrance of the tunnel with an impatient expression.
When the winner of the fight looked at him, he felt frustrated and his face became twisted with anger.
Sam is kind of famous in the fighters. Normally, the causal fighters don't have any contact with each other, but the same is not true for the ranked fighters.
Every day, they have meals together and some of them would talk between themselves.
They have individual screens within their room so that they could watch the fights.
So, they knew that Sam has become the Iron Level fighter without a winning streak. And he is also the only one in the casual fighters who enjoyed the arena so much. His crazy battling methods and twisted torture towards his past three opponents made them remember him.
They did hear the words he said about defeating every other person in the division, but nobody cared, this is not the first time they saw a braggart.
But now, he is pissed, he didn't expect that Sam would rain on his parade.
"Do you not understand? Get the fuck out, my fight is the next one."
The fighter on the stage couldn't hold back.
"Mind your fucking mouth, you little bitch.'
"Make me."
Sam said in a condescending tone.
At this moment, the fighter almost blew his skull off from anger and wanted to kill Sam. He is also one of the few who enjoyed the attention arena brought to him. So, he was enjoying his victory. But Sam just had to come and make things worse.
He was about to make a move, but Sam beat him to it, he used Phantom Step and appeared right below the stage, as the barrier disappeared, there are no restrictions, he held the leg of that fighter with his hand and just dragged him down and slapped straight across the face.
The fighter was in the most embarrassing position, he was stunned and before he came to his senses, he dragged him down the stage and threw him towards the tunnel.
Then Sam went up on the stage and gestured to his opponent to come up. The crowd started laughing hysterically.
They didn't expect that the winner of the fight could be humiliated to this extent.
The referee who saw Sam and his opponent didn't know how to remedy the situation, so he just started the fight.
The fight didn't go for long, the opponent is completely humiliated. He was almost as same as the previous winner.
The crowd was satisfied by Sam's bullying persona and as he was about to go out, he saw that the previous winner is still there.
"Oh? You want some more?" Sam asked condescendingly and that guy couldn't take it and made a move. Just as the two of them are about to clash, the referee held both of them at bay and the attendants came running to hold them back.
Sam kept on yelling at him as he was dragged back.
"Come on, you little piece of shit. Come at me if you dare. I will make you beg like my bitch."
He started yelling all kinds of profanities like a madman and the crowd is completely riled up.
Soon, the supervisors entered the ring and held both of them back.
And this disappointed the crowd, Fidi had a troubled expression as he said to the crowd.
"Tomorrow, we will make a match between both of them."
The crowd cheered once again.
The commotion was completely cleared.
When the bonuses are calculated, the three of them are ecstatic. The remaining two supervisors are also gloating from the side. They thought that Fidi and Farun would get into trouble for doing this.
But what they don't know is, after the boss, who is the Naga with the golden-hued scales called them, they explained the whole situation.
This is all Sam's plan to sell the fight.
Sam made this plan after understanding the crowd. The Nagas' hatred towards the humans seemed to be innate. They couldn't wait to see them tortured more, particularly in the hands of their own kind.
So, they liked Sam's twisted methods and enjoyed it.
Sam wanted to use their nature to get more profits. Since they like the conflict and battle so much, he wanted to give them a more flavorful one. What happens if there is personal conflict involved? And they got the answer.
The bonuses today are more than that of a successful main fight and they got some serious benefits from this.
The boss was ecstatic and he didn't pursue the matter further. In fact, he even gave more privileges for both of them and a new facility was given to the fighters on that day.
The fighters can watch the fight of others in the arena along with the audience and their seats are even arranged on one side of the arena specifically and are not for sale.
This is to make sure that more conflicts would happen between fighters and more fights would make more money.
Sam didn't take the residence change. He needs to stay with Arman for the time being and there are some reasons for that. He decided they would change the residence directly after Arman became Iron-Level as well.
He is also having continuous fights every day and from tomorrow he will be Iron-Level as well.
As for the reason, he is researching something and Arman is his only test subject in the current situation.
The next day, the fight went on and Sam started beating the crap out of his opponent, the arena was full and the fighter specific seats are also full. The fighters who sat there suddenly felt relief and a sense of freedom as they experienced the view as a normal audience.
But one of them didn't take this as the rest. He is angry and exasperated because the one who got his crap beaten out of him is none other than his brother.
