Chapter 337 Just Got Lucky
The staff’s faces changed the second they realized who Kayden was, but they just explained the rules quietly, then stepped aside.
Santiago pushed himself up, red with shame and anger. “Tilda, what’s the point of hiding behind a guy? This is family business! Why let an outsider step in?”
Mystro narrowed his eyes, sharp and dangerous. Clearly, this guy isn’t gonna learn until he gets knocked flat. I held back earlier for Tilda’s sake, but now… maybe I was way too nice.
“Outsider? Mystro is family to me. Stop pretending we’re close. How many times do I have to say it? I’ve cut all ties with the Jensons!”
“But if you want a fight, fine. I’ll give you one. Step up, and I’ll finish you in three seconds.”
Mystro frowned. “Tilda, he’s not worth it–”
“Yes, he’s not worth it, but he disrespected you. That, I can’t forgive.”
“Damn you, you really think you can walk all over me now, huh?” Santiago shouted, charging at her in a rage.
Although I can’t fight Mystro, I can handle Tilda!
Smack!
A loud slap cracked across Santiago’s face. He froze, stunned.
Kayden grabbed him by the collar, teeth clenched. “Santiago, lose your mind again, and you can get lost!”
“O–okay… Sorry, Kayden … Calm down…”
Kayden almost never got mad, but now, his anger and authority as the older brother crushed Santiago instantly. He shrank down, meek as a scared rabbit.
Kayden shoved him aside and pushed his head down, making him bow to Tilda. “I’m sorry, Tilda. I didn’t keep Santiago in check. Please accept my apology.”
“Gosh, what a mess. Family fighting family. You people are clowns. It’s pathetic.”
Tilda didn’t waste another word with the two lunatics. She pulled Mystro with her and left. Staying around crazy people too long would rot her brain.
Santiago almost exploded.
She’s so vicious! And she’s my sister! I can’t believe this! Something is seriously wrong with this world. If Kayden hadn’t stepped in, he really would’ve lost it and hit her. He felt that Tilda had crossed a line.
Once Tilda and Mystro were gone, Santiago grumbled, “Kayden, why do you put up with her? I feel so sorry for you after all you said! She’s outrageous!”
Even after Kayden slapped him, he still wanted to vent. He was used to getting hit by his big brothers–one more didn’t matter.
“Are you done yet? Don’t forget, Tilda beat Howard. With your tiny bit of skill, you’d be lucky if she just let you live because you’re family.”
Kayden looked at Santiago with deep frustration. He just couldn’t understand why he never lived up to his potential.
Honestly, out of the seven Jenson brothers, the biggest problem wasn’t the youngest, Wade, but the sixth one, Santiago.
Santiago really was the hardest to deal with. Even though he had Russell and Blair’s great genes and had shown amazing talent since he was a kid, he always acted on impulse, letting his temper lead him into reckless trouble. He never thought about the consequences, never set any limits for himself, and always ended up causing messes.
Howard, the fifth, might have had a bad temper and plenty of flaws, but at least he had limits. And because he stuck to those limits, he rarely caused any serious trouble. Santiago, though, would attack anyone, even a woman, if they just rubbed him the wrong way.
“I don’t believe it! Howard must’ve held back! No way he lost for real. Tilda just got lucky!”
Santiago refused to believe it. Howard, the WWE world champ, got beaten by that delicate-looking woman? Impossible. It must’ve been a trick.
Looking at Santiago, Kayden just felt tired. He regretted bringing him along at all. Santiago only dragged him down. Kayden almost wanted to give him another “wake-up punch.”
The race was about to start.
Tilda and Mystro got number six, so they would start in sixth place. The finish line was several miles past a snowy railing. Whoever crossed first would win.”
“Tilda, you’re still good, right? Not upset?” Mystro asked softly, checking first.
He had already looked over the track and even set up a few obstacles. The whole course was watched by drones, and the path they picked didn’t have any steep cliffs or super dangerous spots, so there was no need for fancy tricks or risky flips.
