...

After a long while of grinding, Arnold decided to check his stats.

"Sigh... It\'s been a great achievement," Arnold heaved a sigh and said.

His Intelligence had really gone up as time went on, and he had gained a new Skill as well...

[Skill: Tombstone Piledriver (SS-class).]

[Skill Description: The process whereby you pin your opponent, grabbing him upsidedown and kneeing forcefully on the mat, causing his head to hit against it. The damage affects the neck as well, not only the head.]

"Nice... I remember The Undertaker in the latest century... That was his finisher... Wait, system?" Arnold couldn\'t help but throw a question after a certain thought came flooding in at that instant.

[Yes, host?]

"Are you a kind of history system or something? Two of my finishers were used by professional wrestling legends years ago, and the common moves are rather familiar," Arnold spoke.

[Actually, those are wrestling moves you need to use in these beginning times. You will practice a lot in Hardcore Wrestling soon.]

"Ahh... Really... This is just the beginning?" Arnold\'s brows furrowed.

[Of course. I needed you to rise to the top to make the main plan possible. If you aren\'t one of the top professional wrestlers in the world, my plan wouldn\'t work.]

"What plan?" Arnold glared with confusion.

[The plan.]

"I don\'t know what you mean?"

[The Arrival.]

"What arrival?"

[The Arrival I kept keeping as a secret from you for now... Like I said, you would know when the right time comes.]

"Arnold nodded... Another notified session of suspense... I would wait... But you need to prepare my mind for what\'s coming or else I would have to give you up if it\'s beyond my powers."

[I\'m preparing you to have a greater power. A greater fitness power than ever... Even the fruits of the Arrival wouldn\'t be able to defeat you.]

"Well, I hope so... If these fruits turn out to be aliens like some apocalypse novels, then I will have to give up."

[That\'s not the Max freaking Fury aura, you are more than this!]

[Someday, the world will need you to prove that you are the strongest human that ever existed. They would need to fight for and save them... You can\'t do that with this kind of thought in mind.]

[This isn\'t what your Advocate wants from you. This isn\'t what whoever created and sent me to you wants. You have to act like an unstoppable fighter. One who can do anything to get everything that he aimed for.]

"Yes! I always will do anything to achieve my aims," Arnold was suddenly jolted awake from his weakness.

[That\'s the great spirit of their incredible personality. You will soar, you will win... You will be a legend!]

With a smile, Arnold nodded.

This was exactly what he wanted to hear. He had been craving for words of motivation after he decided to join Slamdown instead of Rampage. One part of his mind had mocked him for making a wrong decision, while the other praised him for the right decision.

He had been confused these days, but he shook off the confusion just like it always did, creating a large space for hope in his mind.

That\'s why it\'s the Pro Wrestling System...

Mad Fury\'s advocate.

Max Fury\'s savior.

...

After a week in New York City, Arnold\'s family seemed to have been adapting to the high-class urban environment.

They were happy, as he wanted, and they were all happy together. Mia spent the whole week with the family going back to Arizona. That same week, Arnold had to visit the Slamdown headquarters, which was also in New York City, to get the deal done.

He had to contact his lawyer, Paul Cromwell to meet him up at the Slamdown headquarters before they went ahead to sign the contracts.

Amazingly, it was Manager Jack Harris who would be taking the contracts as the new manager.

They were all happy as it wouldn\'t have to be a new face and a relationship starting afresh. Arnold was also glad that Jack Harris got a promotion...

He truly deserved it...

Everyone knew it.

His management with Grindhouse Wrestling had created quite a good reputation for him, and that had painted his career with amazing colors.

"We meet again in another show... The same wrestler, the same manager, and the same lawyer," Jack Harris laughed slightly as he said.

"It\'s amazing... I mean, it was well deserved for both of us. Like I said, I would love to be managed by such an awesome manager like you, sir," Arnold said with a smile.

"That\'s great, Max Fury. I also would love to manage such a wonderful professional wrestler like you. Your likes are rare... Or permit me to say that there are none of your likes in this world. You are just incredible!" Jack Harris said with a look of seriousness on his face.

They proceeded with the signing, and Jack Harris was the first to put in his signature. Arnold did the same, and his lawyer did him as well.

After the deal was done, they all exchanged handshakes before Arnold left the Slamdown headquarters building with his lawyer.

While he walked out of the building, approaching his car at the garage and conversing with his lawyer, his phone beeped thrice, drawing his attention and halting the conversation.

"Hold on a sec," Arnold told Paul.

Then he brought out his smartphone to see what the message was, only to be stunned by something he had prayed not to see ever again...

Unfortunately, the snake in the green grass had been watching and waiting for his decision.

(Selina Greenwood: Hey handsome... I can see you from the top floor. Let\'s talk).

With widened eyes, Arnold raised his head to the top of the skyscraper building...

He saw no one...

But he knew that she was there.
