Chapter 70: Party
Chapter 70: Party
With each second, Juan's power and strength got weaker, while his appearance started to turn back to normal.
In less than a minute, Juan fully lost his appearance and finally collapsed onto the ground without any strength left in him.
Seeing this happening, Sarah not far away tried to stand up, but Mila's power from before left her unable to do so.
As she struggled to get on her feet, she looked at her sister, who was lying far away. She was kicked hard by Joe in the waist, but the reason she couldn't get up after wasn't because of that hit, but instead of those small sparks, which appeared on her body from time to time. It could be some kind of paralyzing power, which can make its target immobile for a small amount of time.
Cloud seeing as none of the three members could continue fighting, raised his hand, and shouted, "Round 2, Winner Team 77!"
Hearing the announcement, the Arena exploded with loud cheers making Cloud smile in an instant.
"Wonderful! Simply wonderful!", said Cloud as he enjoyed the loud cheers all around him with a wide smile etched on his face.
As the loud cheers went on, Greg and the others got teleported back with a silver light, while the injured members from the other team got taken away by medical people.
Match after the match went on. Greg fought once more a Duo and a Team fight, but both of them were easily won, so they were qualified for the fourth round.
When the last fight in the third round was finally over, the shield around the stages started to fade away, while Cloud's clones started to disappear one by one.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Did you enjoy yourselves?", asked Cloud with a shout from the estrade as he looked around with a smile.
Hearing his question, every spectator in the Arena shouted loudly, making the whole city filled with loud shouts in an instant.
"Haha! That's it! That's the spirit! However, unfortunately, the tournament will end for today and will continue tomorrow morning, so until then, please be patient. However, be sure to enjoy yourselves in Mythbreak under the following week as much as you can."
As he said that, the white mist started to form around the estrade, and in less than a second, Cloud and the experts disappeared into thin air.
People seeing this stood up one by one and started to walk out of the Arena while talking about all the exciting and shocking things that happened that day.
And just like that, night fell on the city and the fervent life could be felt in every corner of Mythbreak.
As people were enjoying themselves on the streets, Greg was simply lying on his bed, when suddenly someone knocked on his door.
*Knock~Knock*
"Coming!", said Greg as he stood up and walked before the door.
Opening the door, Joe appeared before him in a nice looking black suit. Even his hair looked very smooth and clean. If he didn't know Joe, he would have thought he was some kind of model.
"Woow, you look... well you look good. But why are you dressed like that? ", asked Greg as he looked at Joe's figure.
Hearing this, Joe smiled and thanked him and said, "Half an hour later there will be a party in the hall. All the participants will be there and if I heard it right some of the experts will attend too."
Hearing this Greg was surprised looked down at his clothes and smiled awkwardly.
"Well, I didn't bring any good looking clothing with me, just normal looking ones."
Joe nodded and bent down to pick up a box, which was hidden next to Greg's door, and said, "I knew you wouldn't, so this is why I brought this to you."
Handing over the box Joe smiled and said, "Take it."
Greg was quite surprised by Joe's kindness and looked at him.
"What did I do to deserve this?"
Joe just smiled and said, "Look at this as a gift for helping me in the past."
Hearing this Greg didn't know what to say, so just nodded in the end.
"Thanks."
"Don't worry about it. Just change clothes and come down into the hall. The girls and I will wait for you there.", said Joe and turned around to leave.
Seeing Joe's leaving figure, Greg walked back into his room and opened the box.
He didn't expect anything surprising, but the moment the lid opened, Greg's eyes widened in surprise.
"What...the...Wooow!"
Greg couldn't say anything about what he was looking at.
Taking out the clothing from the box, Greg was utterly speechless.
It was just like Joe's suit, but its color was snow white, while the buttons on it were like crystal-like. Golden lines ran through the end of the sleeve, the flaps and the collar giving off a somewhat royal feeling to anyone, who saw it.
Next to the suit, a white and golden colored tie could be found with the same designed trousers and with a clean shoe.
"This is amazing. How much did all of this cost?", asked Greg himself and looked at the clock on the wall.
"7:36. I have 24 minutes to get ready, so let's put this masterpiece on."
As he said that he started to take his clothes off and a while later, he was standing before a mirror and looked at himself in it.
Turning here and there, Greg was quite surprised by the fact that it suited him this well and thought, "How did he know the right size? I will definitely ask him about it later."
Looking at him in the mirror Greg looked at his hair and suddenly frowned.
In the past, everyone bullied him because of his hair, so he always tried to hide it and never thought about cool looking hairstyles.
But this time, things were different. Not only did he gained strength to protect himself against people like William, but he also found friends that he could always count on no matter what.
Touching his hair, which was a bit of shaggy, Greg smiled and thought,"It's fine as it is. No one's opinion matter."
With that in mind, Greg adjusted his tie and nodded.
"Let's get goin'."

Down in the hall, people with different suits and dresses were everywhere, while they talked with each other with drinks in their hands.
Mila, Emma, and Joe were before a table and talking happily.
Emma wore a knee-length chiffon bridesmaid dress, which had a V-neck. Its blue color was a nice match with her sky blue eyes while giving a stronger feeling to her blonde hair.
On the other hand, Mila wore a much more seductive dress. It was cut on the left side and back, making her left leg and her full back almost completely naked, which made her sexier than ever. With the red jewels in her ears and her neck, she looked like a real diva.
Next to them, the twins and Juan were looking at them. After the fight, all of them got first aid and healed in under an hour, so they had no problem attending this party.
Sandra was looking at Joe with an angry expression and said, "If it weren't for my carelessness, I wouldn't have been that pathetic."
Juan hearing this didn't say anything but looked here and there like he was looking for someone.
As he looked around, a pair walked in. It was the girl and the guy who spectated the fights from the seats.
When the two walked in, all the eyes looked at them, but after seeing them a while later all of them stopped looking in their way.
The two walked before a table and ordered a drink, while the guy too looked around in the hope to see someone.
As people talked, suddenly the elevator's door opened and a figure walked out of it. As he walked closer and closer, more and more eyes fell on him, making everyone to stop talking.
His white clothing with the beautiful design and those golden lines on the suit gave everyone a kind of noble feeling, while the guy's unique hair color and style made a lot of women attracted almost instantly.
"Wooow. Who is he?"
"I don't know, but he looks quite good no? What do you think should I go and try to talk to him?"
People, especially women started to talk with each other as they looked at Greg's approaching figure.
Greg after stepping inside the huge hall filled with people looked around and saw as everyone was looking at him with awe and shock, which made him quite surprised.
Not know why everyone was looking at him like that he looked around in the hope to find Joe and the others, but just as he could start looking a muscular body appeared next to him.
Looking to his right, Greg saw that the one who was standing before him was the one he fought before in the second round.
Not knowing what he wanted Greg frowned and waited patiently for what the guy to start talking.
Unfortunately, he didn't need to wait long, because the guy put his palm out and said, "Juan Tyson from the Alchemist family. It's my pleasure to meet you, can I know your name?"
