He had a smile that reached his eyes. Marcus G Orno's hand was held up high and proud by the referee beside him.
Marcus had just a second ago scored his first official victory against the king's son, his childhood enemy. The audience was the witness to the destruction of Gabriel Richard on that day.
There was no way the resurrected Gabriel could deny that he lost to Marcus, whom he used to overwhelm years ago.
Everything he wanted to do about the match was done. Especially the plan to act as if he was losing was the biggest success.
Marcus's eyes were gleaming with pride while he stood on the elevated arena with people, the size of the entire city cheering him on.
But the voice that made his eyes sparkle was the commentator's ricocheting voice through the microphone.
"VICTORYYYY!!!!"
"GIVE IT UP FOR MARCUS G ORNO PEOPLEEEE!!!!!!!"
The Entire stadium united. The ground shook and the air waltzed, playing with Marcus's burgundy red hair as the chant commenced.
