Chapter 97 - 96: New gear

Chapter 97: Chapter 96: New gear

Late at night in the year MM-17, Caesar arrived back in her house tired.

Her eyes were saggy from all the work she had done for the day and as she walked towards the couch, she sank into it and laid her head back.

Caesar stared at the ceiling for a time and as she brought her head down, she saw her father sitting on a chair not too far from her with one leg crossed over the other.

Caesar stared at her father for a moment with her plain demeanor and greeted.

"Good evening, papa."

Her father however, glared at her with disgust and scoffed.

"The boys are already in bed, and just by looking at you, I can tell you got into another fight." The father said.

"The scrapes and bruises gave you away." The father continued as he took notice of the scrapes and bruises on Caesar’s body along with the torn parts of her top and leggings.

"It’s just as we predicted... You’re becoming more of a thug. What remains is for you to start spreading your legs for every man like that whore that you are." The father continued as his disgusted look grew, "I wonder when it will happen. When my own so-called daughter will go into prostitution, and when the little rats you have for brothers... My so-called sons will join their elder sister in becoming a family disgrace."

Caesar scowled at her father in silence for a period until she finally spoke.

"What did we ever do to you?"

"What?" The father asked as he slightly titled his head to the right in confusion.

"I asked this question before but you deflected it." Caesar said, "Right now, mama ain’t here, so I’ll ask again: Why do you hate us so much? What did we ever do to you? What did ’I’ ever do to you?"

"You’re asking this question after locking your parents up? After swinging on us?" Caesar’s father asked, "Besides, it’s not like the reason matters."

"Don’t act like you didn’t have this coming a long time ago." Caesar replied him, "After all the years of abuse, it’s a miracle I waited this long to even call the police on you.

And yes, it does matter. Why do you hate us?"

"You want to do this now, ’girl’?" Caesar’s father asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"Yes." Caesar answered with a firm tone, "What did we ever do to make you hate us so much? What did I do? And even if there is a valid for reason hating me, what did Rai and Eyo do?

All they did was to be born."

"Exactly why I hate them." Caesar’s father answered.

Hearing that answer, Caesar slightly stiffened before she furrowed her brows.

"Just like you." Caesar’s father continued, "And if you want to know why I hate the three of you for being born, it’s because you remind me so much of him and ’me’."

"You?" Caesar asked.

"Yes, me." The father answered, "You may have your mother’s eyes, face and scent but I see so much of myself in you.

So much similarities... Like two sides of the same coin."

"I worked so hard to become what I dreamt about. Pushed so far... Further than anyone could ever imagine and yet life always laughed in my face." Caesar’s father said as he scowled, "No matter what I did, it wasn’t enough.

Then I see him... I see you... My seed, my blood... A reminder of my failures... People who could become like me and that does nothing but to infuriate me.

However instead of becoming like me, you showed better promise. Succeeding in many places I failed and that infuriates me even more!

Do you honestly think I would sit here and let my child succeed when I was a failure? Become something in life when I couldn’t?"

Caesar’s father let out a bitter chuckle.

"Let me not get started with those two little rats you call brothers." Caesar’s father said, "They seem to have a lot of potential of becoming greater men than me.

My own children surpassing me. What a terrible joke.

On top of that, you three had to be born after him."

"Who?" Caesar asked, "Who is this him you keep talking about? And what do you mean ’born after him’?

"Does it matter?" The father replied, "Now you’ve heard everything I have to say, are you satisfied, girl?

If you are, then kindly get out."

Caesar stared at her father for a time with her usual plain stare. But despite her demeanor, there was an intense anger and disgust brewing inside her heart.

"So that’s it? Envy?" Caesar asked, "All the abuse we suffered at your hands was all because of you feeling so small? Is that it?

You’d beat us for no good reason, sometimes no reason at all. You’d plant things in our belongings and accuse us of stealing them. That shit used to get us into trouble many times with people."

"You-you’d.... Ruin relationship with our friends and others..." Caesar continued as she slightly shook her head in her efforts to control her anger, "You’d curse me, telling me I’ll die giving birth and the baby won’t even be my husband’s.

You defamed us on numerous occasions. You sabotaged my future, and for what?! Because you failed at life?!"

You asked me why, didn’t you, girl?" Caesar’s father asked, "Do not cry now that you have heard the reasons."

"Do you even hear yourself?" Caesar asked, "Mama was evil but you... You’re just... You’re just pathetic."

"Watch yourself, wench." Caesar’s father warned with a frightening scowl.

"Or else what?" Caesar asked as she tilted her head to the right, "You’d beat me? Curse me, defame me or whatever you usually do?"

"I let you sabotage me for too long, I won’t let you or mama lay your hands on my brothers again or sabotage their future.

I won’t let anyone else destroy their lives." Caesar said as she stood from her chair.

"Is that so?" Caesar’s father asked with a bitter smirk, "Hmph. We made a promise that we won’t bother you three anymore, but if you really believe you can ’protect’ your brothers then you don’t understand life at all, and by the time it hits you, you’ll remember this day..."

"Caesar." Caesar’s father said mockingly with contempt as his irises glowed.

Currently in the year MM-20 within Manuwuge city, the energy of the crowd boomed in the EBW stadium and the atmosphere was deafened with their cheers and chants.

While this happened, inside a large and well decorated room across the hall, Caesar sat on the ground with both legs crossed and eyes shut, trying to meditate.

The scene of Rai and Eyo laying in the hospital replayed in her head.

The faces of Ruz, Raizan and Akari resurfaced in her mind and Raizan’s echoed internally.

"Take all that anger and pour them into your fists."

"Eren... Cassius..." Raizan’s voice continued as the faces of Eren and Cassius glitched in Caesar’s mind.

This moment was suddenly interrupted with sound of hiss, leading Caesar to snap her eyes open.

Akari and her bodyguards along with two other women walked into the room.

Caesar’s eyes moved to the direction of Akari and her company as they walked towards her.

Akari stood in front of Caesar and smiled.

"Hello, dear. How are you feeling? Well, I hope?" Akari asked, "I’m you enjoyed your room and the delicacies I had them provide for you on your way here."

"Anyway, I didn’t come here to exchange pleasantries." Akari continued as Caesar continued staring at her with her stoic expression, "Your triple threat match is around the corner, so it’s best I get you dressed, isn’t that correct?

So as promised."

Akari snapped her fingers and one of the bodyguards carrying a briefcase stepped forward.

"Your gear is right here." Akari said, "Remember what I told you before about failing to prepare your outfit for the Damien Bane but making for it with a new one? Well this one right here is so good that it will be your gear for the whole month."

"Remember when you said in that flyer interview that they can kiss your bubbly bottom?" Akari asked as Caesar narrowed her eyes, "Well this new outfit will allow them to get a nice view of them but not everything... More like a tease.

After all, they can’t have all the fun now, can they?"

"And don’t worry, you don’t have to bother about changing in front of the guards." Akari continued.

Akari looked over her shoulders and the guards behind her walked away from the room.

"Just the one holding the case, and he is not into women neither does he even have a member." Akari said as she returned her gaze to Caesar.

"Now let’s get to it, shall we?" Akari asked as she closed her eyes while smiling.

Later, the door of Caesar’s locker room opened with a hiss and Caesar emerged with her new gear worn.

Her new outfit consisted of a black halter-styled bodysuit with translucent mesh stretching from the chest down to the abdomen.

At the sides of her suit were two small claw-shaped openings with white accents around the edges.

On her left arm was a black armband and black wraps coiled round her forearm, held together by two black laces forming an x shape beneath it.

Her left hand was also covered with a white wrap round the wrist and a black fingerless glove.

On her right arm was a long black wrap that covered her biceps down to the back of her hand.

Underneath the waist of her bodysuit was a tight see-through pair of shorts with a black waistband.

On her legs were translucent mesh overlayed below with black thigh-high boots.

And finally underneath the boots were large white soles.

Caesar stood for a moment and took a deep breath.

The door opened again with a hiss and Akari and her company stepped forward.

Akari walked in front of Caesar and smiled.

"You look lovely, dear." Akari said, "A high profiled ero-wrestler, indeed."

"But... Something is missing." Akari said as she playfully placed her finger on her chin, "Ah, of course."

Akari clapped her hands twice and one of the women stepped forward with a large black collar with a silver colored Mizukai symbol.

Akari nodded her head and the woman walked towards Caesar and placed the collar round her neck.

After the woman had placed it, the woman stepped away, and Akari admiring the view, smiled.

"Now, that’s much better." Akari said, "You can go now."

Caesar showed no emotions to Akari’s words and walked forward.

As Caesar was walking, Akari let out a small dark grin while her irises glowed.

"Such a beautiful outfit."

"I’m sure the crowd will enjoy watching you crumble like I will." Akari continued speaking in her mind as elsewhere Eren Brock and Cassius Gold in different areas were walking forward, "My beautiful..."

"Pet." Akari finalized as Caesar, Eren and Cassius’s irises glowed.
