387 We're Going to Lose A Lot
"As for the matter of not trying to cooperate with you guys, it is not that we don't want. It is just that, the events that you guys have selected are not what we want. If it is another one, perhaps we can vote." Felix continued.
Everyone present in the room looked at him silently. They already knew that Felix was not on the same side as Luther. And for that reason, he was definitely going to do anything to make sure that he said and did the opposite of what Luther wanted.
But, there was only one problem. This matter did not only involve Luther, but it also involved the others. So, they didn't believe that Felix was going to use this chance to continue suppressing Luther, at the expense of his own reputation.
"Felix, we can understand that you and Luther are not on the same side. But, you have to know that this is not a matter of the two of you. This is the matter of our own country. And even if you don't care about the country, you will have to care about the reputation that you possess." At this moment, the uncrowned king of the youths spoke.
"And, in case you don't care about the reputation that you possess, that doesn't mean that we also don't care about it. So, can you try and find another opportunity to deal with Luther, rather than choosing this event?" He continued.
Felix looked at the young man and simply scoffed. In the next moment, he stared directly into his eyes and said, "Did you hear that I said that I don't care about my reputation? I simply said that I don't agree on the events that you have selected. So, you only have to select another one that we agree on, so that we can vote on it."
"You…you!" Being talked to so rudely, the uncrowned king was infuriated. He had always gotten used to the respect that he was receiving from this group of youths.
Even Felix was not an exception. But now, he was talking to him as if he was talking to his subordinate. And having already gotten used to sitting at the top, this young man could not agree being thrown to the ground.
"Me what? You think simply because we respect you, and just because your family is a little better than ours, you are supposed to control us? No, that won't happen." Felix simply waved his hand dismissively, as he replied.
The young man was furious. If possible, he really wanted to deal with Felix. But, he knew his limits all too well. Even though it was true that he was angry at Felix, there was no way that he was going to take action personally.
Felix was way stronger than he was, and if the two of them got involved in a brawl, he was the one who was going to be in the losing end. So, he had to find another way to deal with Felix.
"Calm down James. There's no need for the argument to continue escalating. We have to look for a solution now, because the time of the event is almost arriving." A young lady wearing light makeup with short hair pulled the uncrowned king as she spoke.
James thought that what she was saying was right. After all, currently, the only thing that they had to deal with was to find a solution to the matter. As for the matter of dealing with Felix, that was something that he was going to deal with later.
"Felix, do you know that if we lose, you are going to lose a lot. And in fact, you have already lost a lot." Luther said with narrowed eyes as he looked at Felix.
"Humph! There are some threats that don't work on me. So, don't try telling me that I'm going to lose my reputation and so on. If we don't agree on what I agree on, then, don't even think about me agreeing with you." Felix replied with a smug expression on his face.
He had already gained the control of 14 people that were selected. He had already made arrangements for this, and for that reason, no matter what he said, these 14 were going to support him.
So, as long as he did not agree, then, half of the group was going to disagree with the matter. And if that was the case, there would be no progress.
"Do you think I care about you losing your reputation? I don't care whether you lose your reputation or not. Let me inform you of something, call your father and ask him how much you have lost!" Luther shouted angrily. This was one of the few times that he always lost his composure.
Just like everyone else present in here, they were the young youths that were supposed to be heirs of their families, or represented their older siblings.
Luther on the other hand was the one that was supposed to take on the family business. For that reason, he was not going to agree to let them collapse even before he took over.
"Do you have a loose screw in your head? Perhaps I can help you tightening it." Felix said with a ferocious expression on his face as he began striding towards Luther.
"What? You now want to go physical if you cannot deal with me using your brain? Humph, if you touch even a single strand of my hair, then, you better be prepared to be in court tomorrow." Luther said, not taking even a single step back.
It was only the moment that Luther mentioned the court that Felix reacted. He also knew that, if he went physical, then, he was bound to cause trouble for his family.
Even though he currently possessed the most support in the room, Luther also had someone that supported him. So, if he did anything that was going to leave a mark behind, then Luther's family might utilize this chance to deal his family a blow, no matter how small.
"Why are you being a sissy? You can't fight and can only depend on others? You have to become a man and solve the problems with your own hands." Felix said discontentedly.
"Felix, you better stop this right now. We did not come over here today to deal with the matter between the two of you. We have to discuss on what we are supposed to do, rather than continuing with the argument." James spoke once again.
"Humph!" Felix snorted and went back to his seat. Even though it was true that he was trying to make things hard for Luther, that didn't mean that he was willing to suffer a loss as well.
It was just that he had been so angry at the fact that Luther was involved with the crippling of Clinton. It was just that, there was no evidence that pointed towards the matter.
Since he had already spoken to Clinton before, he knew about this matter. So, he was holding a big grudge against Luther. And, he was not going to calm down until he had dealt with him.
After seeing that Felix had finally calmed down, James took a deep breath and looked at Luther and asked, "What kind of loss were you talking about?"
Luther hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that Felix was looking at him with a mocking gaze, he had no choice but to speak the truth.
"The truth of the matter is that, we are not the only ones that are betting on the events that we are participating in. Unlike the other times, our parents are also participating. And since we have consecutively lost, our families have already lost a lot." Luther spoke.
Without caring about the curious and doubtful gazes that he was receiving, he continued, "This was something that was supposed to be kept a secret. But, I only overheard it from my father. He was speaking to my mother about the losses that they had already suffered. And, if we don't win even a single one, then, the losses this time are going to be immense."
"And when I say that the losses are going to be immense I mean it. Since this is going to be the last round, they are going to bet big. And, had it not been for the fact that they are prohibited from telling us about this, then, I am sure that our parents would have already told us to make sure that we won this." Luther continued.
In real sense, he was told all this information by his father. But, it was just that he didn't want to reveal that fact. After all, with Felix here, Luther was sure that he was going to utilize this chance to deal a blow to his family.
The other four nations had already set conditions that, as long as the adults told the youths about how heavy their actions were, they were supposed to pay heavily.
And of course, all of this was meant for them to lose. After all, since they came knowing that there was going to be a competition, then, they obviously knew that they were going to participate in betting as well. So, the youngsters also knew that they were carrying a heavy burden. That was why they had been trying their best, trying to ensure that they didn't lose.
"You know, you should have tried to look for another reason if you wanted to convince others. This reason of yours doesn't motivate us at all. Instead, it only makes people worried." Felix said with a mocking smile on his face.
