When Universe Conspires

65 - OT4

(Lisa)

"So I think...we can hold an event like sports type of shit. It has to be like the agents battling inside a ring or something. Fighters, battles..you know, like they can play while showing off their skills. We can have like firing matches, driving, combat..can be a team and one versus one tournament. Yes! That's the word I was looking for! A battle of the best tournament!" Jen said enthusiastically.

The three of us just stared at my girlfriend for a few seconds. Then Chae spoke first.

"I bow to you Senpai!" she said bowing down playfully, "That's a great idea! I mean, that's a perfect event. Peyton will have a reason to stay away from his laptop if he's going to be fighting in a match"

"But with whom do you think he will fight with? I mean, he's the boss of everyone. I doubt that Alex will fight him. He's really an ace in every single skill there is" Jisoo said.

"I'll give it a go" Lisa said nonchalantly.

"Oh no no no, you won't! Jisoo just said he's the best there is. Are you out of your mind? I won't let you get hurt baby. That's a no!" Jen said mad at me.

"Babe.." I started but she held her hand up to my face.

"Actually, it might be a good match. Lisa is also really good in everything. I wonder who will win between them honestly. I know Peyton is a very muscular man, but Lisa here uses her brain more than him. She's a smart fighter. Peyton is all muscles. He's very arrogant and thinks he can beat everyone without using his brain in a brawl. Lisa is also tough as fuck. It's just that not everyone knows about that because she doesn't want to show off her true skill levels" Jisoo explained.

Chae asked "But if you fight him in your level, everyone will know about it. They might plan something else to take us down. Do you think it's a good idea to show off like that?"

"Guys, calm down. I can use 50% of my skill level for Peyton. I can let him beat me up at some point. It will make him confident that I'm too easy. But in reality, he won't see me coming. It's part of the plan to make him think that way, he should underestimate me. We need that for our advantage soon" I told them.

Chae and Jisoo nodded in agreement but when I looked at my girlfriend, I saw her angry face.

"Babe, it will not hurt that much. I've been there, done that. I used to get beat up when I trained before. It helped me increase my pain tolerance level. It's okay. There will be bruises and I will bleed for sure, but it won't kill me I promise! Just trust me on this one, please?" I plead.

She pouted for a while and turned her face away from me. I nodded towards Jisoo and Chae. They got the hint.

Chae said, "We better get inside. It's a bit late. Where are we going to sleep by the way?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that. You can occupy the entertainment room, first door to the right of the stairs. There's already an airbed, blankets and pillows there. There's also an adjacent shower room there that you can use. There's also a small pantry there you can use if you want" I answered.

"Okay. Thanks! We need to get going. Goodnight to you two" Jisoo said nodding to both me and Jen.

I saw Jen gave them a tight lipped smile. She's not that mad I guess. I still can make this night perfect.

"Baaaabeee... Can you look at me please?" I said begging like a child.

She hesitantly looked at me, worry etched on her face. Awww..

"Babe, can you say whatever you're thinking? What's on your mind? I want you to feel at ease before this night ends, please?" I said.

She sighed. She said "I'm sorry I didn't intend to ruin the night with my mood swings. I just can't deal with you getting hurt in any way. It was my suggestion but I didn't know it will turn out that way. I didn't think things through. I wish I didn't suggest such a thing"
