The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 67 - Putting A Gekko Down

"What!"

"I said I surrender."

Arthur stood there with a frozen face, he didn’t understand why I had done that when they were… no, when he was right at the midst of ending this battle.

"Don’t give up, you can still fight." He said and thought it sounded encouraging but I saw what it was. His face showed me what he really thought.

Don’t stop, I want to win.

"I get that this turned up to be a tough fight but giving up right now would doubt your whole years of training."

I don’t give a shit to what you learned, I want to defeat you.

"I don’t know who you heard that from," I slowly get up and Arthur had to move his sword away from my face, "But who said I had spent years getting to this point?"

"Yo- You didn’t?" Arthur had this disbelieved look like it was impossible. Who better than him to know how tough gaining power is. He had trained from the moment he was just a small child to the present moment with utmost intensity and concentration.

He couldn’t believe what I just said, but there was a nagging feeling inside him that told him that my words could be true.

"I was joking, you didn’t really take it for real, right?" I said laughing at him as he gave an awkward laugh too, not knowing what was real and what was false.

Seeing me pack my stuff, Arthur said, "We only fought for a bare moment and you’re leaving already?"

"Have you seen the way you fought? It’s crazy."

"But you’re the one who wanted to fight for real."

"I did and that was all I could come up to, you are at the stronger path and also I’m tired after training all morning and then having to fight you."

My words went a different way to him.

I trained for hours long and I’m not really at my strongest to fight with you, so be happy with what you got.

"Besides… she’s here."

Arthur didn’t understand what that meant until he saw Samantha approaching.

"Seriously, what is the matter between you too?"

"You’re asking me what problems I have with my ex-fiance?" I gave him a skeptical look as he nodded.

"Right… Why don’t we fight each other another time, perhaps tomorrow?"

"Maybe… maybe not, let tomorrow come first. I have a lot in my plate right now so can’t promise you anything."

"Alright" Arthur nodded, sheathing his own sword, "See you tomorrow, I hope."

"Maybe" I say and take my sword and training gear.

"Hello, Henry how are you-" Samantha said to me but I passed by her as if she wasn’t even there.

Samantha stood frozen as I left her. She thought that after what happened at the party that day, they had passed their anger phase, but seeing me ignoring her completely, hurt her.

Arthur patted her shoulder, "Don’t be sad, he just had a… rough session and might not be in the mood to talk."

Samantha didn’t say anything and only looked at me walking away.

"What happened between you too?"

"That’s personal."

"A- Alright."

...

After walking out of the training ground, I went to the changing room and returned the gears. As I was about to walk outside, two idiots intercepted me.

"That was an impressive fight." Said Gekko, while leaning against the wall thinking it looked cool.

"Yeah, that was amazing, how did you even do that?" Said Honzo as he came to me, followed by Gekko.

I didn’t want to waste time with this fools.

"What do you want?"

"Don’t be like that, we are friends. You should tell us your secrets about how you got so strong." Gekko asked.

"You want to know how I got strong? I trained."

"…Okay, I get it. You don’t want your secret to be known by others," Gekko said, imitating a drinking face, "But I want you to do something for me?"

A order?

"Oh… and what would that be?"

"Arthur, the guy you fought today, I want you to break his bones." Gekko had an angry look on his face, "That clown keeps on being a pain in the neck for me."

"That guy always is around Elisabeth and she… being fooled by him, actually listens to him."

"Did she ignore you or did something to make you jealous." I said with a happy look.

"Of course, she did. She-… forget about her and do what I say. Crush that bastard and let him know what it means to anger Gekko."

"Alright your highness, I’ll do as you say." I jokingly said and went past him.

"Was that sarcasm... are you refusing me?"

"Of course I am, idiot."

Gekko had an angry smile as he said, "You know what that means right?"

I didn’t care and was about to go out. What can that idiot even do to me?

"You have a cute maid, right?" That stopped me in my track, "What was her name?"

"Honzo, can you remember?"

"I think it was Anna."

"Yes, your guardian angel. Now what would you say if I were to tell my father about her and send a few of his men to her, hmm?" He said whilst thinking about something as he said, "You know what she does look quiet delicious now that I’ve seen her again."

"Big breasts, Gekko." Honzo said, creepily laughing until he saw my dark impression.

"Yeah, maybe I should take her instead and give her a piece of my action, huh." Gekko said as he saw me, slowly walking towards him.

"That’s it, listen to me and nothing ever happens to you sweet Anna, just like always." Gekko smiled and pointed to Honzo, "Or we might both need to visit that bimbo, right Honzo?"

Honzo while hearing, didn’t speak anything as he gulped and stepped back from my path.

"You should always keep it in your mind that we Viscounts are much more powerful than you measly barons, you must remember it’s us you listen to and do work for not the king- Hey! What are you doing!" Gekko didn’t continue as he saw me grab him by the head.

"BAM!"

I throw him towards the wall as he hit it head first and fell right on the floor, unconscious.
