Chapter 2 Am I Dead?

Several gunshots were heard in the stadium. This made everyone in the stadium panic. As a result of the shot, the referee who led the match fainted with blood splattered on his body, beside him Mason still stood upright while holding his left arm which was grazed by the bullet from the shot. He looks angry and looks shocked

"What the hell? Terror on my victory day?!"

But swiftly the stadium securities paralyzed the attacker and pulled him out of the stadium. On the arms of the securities, this man shouted,

"Griffith Mason!! You will die! I assure you that you will die today!"

As a result of the attack, security was tightened. The security secures VIPs, and teams of wrestlers, and protects the medics who provided emergency assistance to the referee who was hit by a shot in the ring.

From VIP's grandstand, there are two men with black suits looking at Mason with a piercing Gaze.

"Are you sure with him?" asked the man with a bald head and thick mustaches.

"Yeah...my choice's never wrong. Let's go back, Doc, answer a man wearing a tuxedo with black frame glasses.

"Brak-"

"Jav, find out who that person is ASAP!!"

Mason looks very upset because of this incident. His victory ceremony and belt presentation were canceled due to casualties. He punched one of the lockers in the VIP dressing room while the medics were treating the wound he received.

"O-okay...sir"

Javier quickly moved to look for the information, but right in front of the VIP room door, a person in charge of the match met the champion.

"Forgive us, Mr. Griffith. Something unpleasant like this happened today, we will find out who was behind this incident and provide extra security to Mr. Griffith and the team to minimize problems like this happening again"

He told Mason and the team to stay calm and would provide extra security for him. However, Mason refused the extra security.

"You don't need to provide extra security for me, you just have to solve this problem. I'd like to know who was behind this accident"

Mason's aware that many people hate him inside and outside of the ring. But he didn't think that someone hated him so deeply that they wanted to make him die.

"Shit!!"

****

Mason saw his championship belt lie in one corner of his limousine. He still can believe that he could win the battle that almost took his throne. But he was annoyed again when he remembered what had just happened. He leaned back in the chair in the limousine. He saw the street from one corner of the window. Suddenly he remembered his dream last night.

"You won't regret your decision, will you, Zen?"

A young handsome man calmly questioned Mason. He and Mason were seen sitting on a large tree trunk. In front of the two of them was a huge lake with a small island in the middle of it.

"You know Zen, if you follow me you will become the enemy of the whole world, everyone in this world will hunt you. But I will make sure you will be safe with me and of course, you have undeniable power"

There isn't any answer that came out of Mason in that dream, as if he understood and obeyed all the questions and statements that came out of the young handsome man's mouth.

Mason had time to think and wonder.

"Who is Zen? What does that man mean? Why is his face so familiar?"

"Where are we going this time, sir?"

Javier's voice broke Mason's thoughts. Suddenly a faint smile appeared on his face.

"This kid always makes me come back to my senses & make me focus," he said to himself.

"A few hours ago, you called me by my name presumptuous and shouted at me, didn't you Javier?"

Javier winced at that situation. He avoided the topic and turned it back to his original question. He wanted his boss to forget the unpleasant events that had just happened.

"Bb…how about sir? Shall we head straight for the penthouse and let you rest? Or can we have a party to celebrate this victory?"

Mason frowned at the question.

"You're boring Jav, I got the champion again and you want me to go back to the penthouse and spend the night at home alone? Are you crazy? These are the times when we should party. I want to spend the night with those Models who are in the best nightclub there."

Javier immediately agreed to his boss's wishes. After all, this is the night to release the adrenaline that has peaked in the body. He ordered the driver to immediately head to one of the best nightclubs in the city.

Mason's limousine stopped at one of the street corners. The nightclub is indeed located not far from the WWC arena. When Mason and Javier were about to enter the club a rumble and a jolt of a sizeable earthquake occurred.

A sudden rumbling and earthquake shocked all road users, including Mason, Javier, and their personal driver.

"Sir, it looks like we have to get out of here soon. We can visit the nightclub one day."

Several aftershocks occurred quickly. Shortly after the earthquake subsided, several buildings were seen cracked. Mason sensed something bad was about to happen.

"Tskckck…damn….what will happen this time?!"

Before they reached their car, a very loud aftershock shook once again. This time the building that had only been cracked was seen collapsing and falling toward Mason and Javier stood up.

"Shit, let's run, we won't live if we get in the car. Run as hard as you can and don't look back," Mason told Javier.

But fate said otherwise, Javier was nowhere to be seen behind or beside him. There was a fairly large crack in the ground on the side and right behind him standing. On the other hand, not only one building collapsed towards him. Mason keeps trying to run in to another direction.

"Shit, this isn't going to end well," he said irritably.
