The Cheat Seed

Chapter 62

"Thank you for the food"

Marcus thanked and rose up from his chair. With two long strides he reached the wash basin. The water cleansed his 'masala' wrapped fingers as he ran them through his palm crevices.

The Time for the battle was nearing as the clock on the wall his two in the afternoon. Marcus made way for his parents to wash theirs and helped his little sister Evy to wash her's by picking her up.

Evy landed a kiss on Marcus's cheek after she cleaned her hands.

Marcus smiled and slowly let her down. She smiled in return and thanked him.

Iris was next to him, pouting at him and holding out her arms as if she were a baby.

"Oh c'mon, Hehe Iris you're literally 10 !"

Marcus chuckled.

The pouting vanished and her eyes went round like a cat pleading for a meal. No one, even Marcus couldn't argue over that.

"Killing a God is easier"

Marcus whispered to himself with a chuckle, he went behind her and lifted her up just a bit above the ground. She was already tall enough to reach the wash basin, but won't let go of her brother.

But Marcus loved it, he loved them both. He had lived his whole life without any siblings. Marcus reminisced watching a boy holding his sister's hand and helping her cross the road.

He had regretted being the only child at times, but now when he had TWO! siblings, life was happy yet again.

"There you go"

He helped Iris down and patted her head, the blonde hair danced under his palm.

They casually talked and watched Television for about an hour until it hit 3 pm on their clock.

The Battle between Marcus and Gabriel Arthur was at 4 pm in the Capital Revoker Arena. The Capital Revoker Arena was famous and was known for it's insane capacity.

A whole city of people could be easily seated on the hundreds of thousands of seats in the arena. The Arena was also the current host for the Revoker Galactic Championship finals. It was also where Marcus saw the Fight between Cypher and Algadro.

The cheers and cries of the crowd pulled itself from the corner and painted his mind. The Vibe and the atmosphere was like nothing he had experienced before.

His closed eyes shot open when his father tapped his shoulder. Marcus turned around to look at his dad who was already in his formal clothes. He was wearing a tuxedo and had a Dapper styled black Fedora on his other hand.

Albert wore the hat in one swift movement and slowly tucked his hand inside his pocket. Behind him his mother appeared in a matching black top and black palazzo. A Matching black lady fedora was tucked on her tied hair.

They looked exotically beautiful. The Air around them wore an elegant curtain as Iris and Evy emerged out of their room, donned in equally matching black kurtis. They looked so cute.

[UWAAA...KAWAIIII]

The system boomed out of nowhere making Marcus wince.

"I thought you were dead man"

Marcus replied with a grin, even though the system was inside him that didn't mean it couldn't sense what face its User was making.

[Ah, I won't go down that easily playboy..I'm just worried about you being slammed by that Green Haired brat]

"Hehe him??. No way..Dude's gonna spit blood today and I'll make sure he will"

Marcus face twisted with anger and impatience.

His Father crept behind him in a smooth movement of carefully placed steps and placed both his hands on his son's shoulders.

"I know what you are thinking son, but let's not let those thoughts disturb your peace."

Marcus snapped out of his thoughts when his Father's words etched themselves on his mind.

"Thank you dad, That helps"

Marcus turned around and smiled.

"But seriously..what's with the sudden black color code"

Marcus pointed towards them and his father shrugged.

"You favourite color is black right?? So we thought...why not?"

His father's voice was calm and explaining.

Marcus smiled and nodded.

He snapped his fingers and his attire changed completely. His Torso went naked whereas his bottom was covered by the Black Capri.

To match his family, Marcus bolted into his room and searched for something black to wear. He was back in the living room within 5 seconds.

He had a pitch black full sleeved T shirt without. It matched pretty well with his Capri and his red sneakers vanished as he put on his new black ones.

The G Orno family was all black when they stepped out of their newly rebuilt house. The Carriage his father called had already arrived before they closed the door behind.

Wherever it was, the carriages reached there on time. Damn, they were the only people who were loyal to their jobs, Marcus thought.

The Family of five were already on the carriage as the driver asked them their destination.

"To the Capital Revoker Arena please"

Albert replied.

"Ooh, Thank God, I was thinking about taking my family over there today...Ya know for the Battle between the King's second son versus some poor boy"

The Carriage driver spoke as he grabbed the ropes, jolting the horse to start the journey.

His Father seemed angry but held back when Marcus grabbed his hand and grinned.

He dragged to the edge of the seat and talked to the carriage driver through the small rectangular opening in the middle of the lightly barricaded carriage.

"Uncle driver?"

Their conversation started with Marcus addressing him. The Driver was maybe in his fifties, with wrinkles on his forehead and a look of someone kind and generous.

"Yes?"

"Who do you think is going to win today? The King's son or the other 'poor' boy"

"Of course it is going to be the King's son, unless the other boy pulls a miracle"

"Aha, Do you think there'll be betting today??"

"Ah, Yes One of my friend said so"

"And Most probably if am right then you were going to bet on The King's son"

"Um..Yes?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Eh?" Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"What If I say that the King's son will lose today...Will you bet on the other guy??"

"..."

There was no reply from the driver, from the looks of it, he was thinking about what Marcus had said.

"Okay then, I'll hand over some money to you, I want you to bet on the other guy, Bet the money on Marcus"

The Carriage seemed to take up pace.

"But..why would you trust your money on a nobody??"

The Driver spoke looking behind for a split second.

"How far are we from the Central Revoker Arena?"

"We'll reach there in about 10 minutes"

Marcus relaxed back to his seat with a haughty smirk. His back slid in between his Dad's and mom's shoulders. Evy and Iris were sight seeing through the glass window.

"You'll find out about it"

Marcus paused.

With a quick slide, he reached the small opening again. Albert and Reiren looked at him in surprise. The Driver turned a little so that his eyes could see Marcus's grinning face.

"Bet On Me .... Raka's spy"
