Manuel went inside the Hexagon Arena to fight again. His contender was a hard rock muscled with a scary face. He tighten his grip and when the bell rang, he dashed to him giving him a quick and solid punch but his opponent dodge it. They were both aggressively moving side by side looking for a good chance to attack with a solid hit.
They were both hitting some random punches and even kicks as time passes. Manuel was having a hard time finding the right timing when suddenly out of the blue, he was hit by a straight punch that shakes his head. He almost fell down but luckily his right hand was able to hold a part of the cage arena.
He looked at his opponent who was walking toward him and kicked him but he throw his body away from him. He was able to avoid it but his opponent send another combo of a straight kick and a spinning one. He was hit hard he felt it.
A few drops of blood he spat at the floor arena. He was pissed off. His opponent again went near him with a kick, but he caught it and twisted his leg. He screams in agony.
He was about to hit him again with his kick when the referee butt in and declared his win. The medic tends his opponent immediately. He was gasping while staring at them. For a moment, his world went slow and everything was blurry.
He was hearing them talking but he did not understand what were they saying until his vision went blank as he collapsed.
He woke up seeing the white ceiling. As he thinks that he was in hospital but someone speaks at his side. A middle-aged man in a black suit holding a cane was standing beside him.
He was Mr. Black, the second hand of the leader of the Yamaguchi Clan.
Mr. Black: I am Black, Nice to meet you Manuel Esguerro.
Manuel was just staring at him without responding to him. He thinks this man wants something from him, he needs to be vigilant. Mr. Black smile at his silence.
Mr. Black: You maybe wonder what I am doing here. I am here to send you a message from my boss. He saw your fight earlier and he likes you so he wants to offer you something that I believe you wanted to.
Manuel caught his interest. He pretended not to care but he was listening.
Mr. Black: My boss wanted you to be part of our clan. But to be a fully pledged member, you need to pass some tests and undergo a month of training in our camp.
Mr. Black handed him a calling card.
Mr. black: Contact me as soon as you are decided to join. I will be looking forward to your response asap.
From that, he walks out of the door while Manuel was looking at the card he's holding. Deep inside he was very happy for this big opportunity that comes to him. He won't fail and he will make sure to pass those tests, ace the training, and enter the lion's den.
While Mr. Black was walking in the corridor, his phone rang. He fished it out of his pocket and answered it.
Mr. Black: Hai("yes"), all is done. He will surely call us tomorrow...Hai rīdā ("yes leader").
He continues his walk after he put back his phone inside his pants side pocket. His small task was achieved and he will expect Manuel soon. A smirk formed on his lips.
On the next day, Manuel went out of a taxi and a tall building welcomes him. Mr. Black was there waiting for him.
Mr. Black: Manuel, welcome. Please, follow me. He's waiting for you.
Manuel followed him. As they entered, he saw a lot of men in black anywhere probably guarding every entrance and exit of the building. They walked past them and went inside the elevator. Mr. Black press the 100th floor and he figured that where the leader's office was.
He looked at Mr. Black's face but he was also staring at him. He felt awkward so he focus his eyes on the ceiling where he could see the number of floors they were passing.
When he heard a thing, the elevator's steel door went open revealing a wide space floor in white. He follow him inside and as they went nearer into a glass blurry wall, Mr. Black stopped in front of him. He opens the door for him. Manuel went in and saw a man standing.
As the door closes, the man turns to face him and said " Welcome Manuel, nice to meet you".
Manuel felt a little strange as to the way he welcomes him. He felt a bad omen towards this man, leader of the Yamaguchi Clan.
