Caesar's Moon

Chapter 74: Chapter 73: Escalation part 2

While Eren stood in the supermarket with both hands in his pockets, the people there began to mutter.

"Holy shit, it’s Eren Brock."

"Caesar’s opponent for this coming Thursday."

"I’ve watched this guy’s matches. He is completely brutal."

"He’s an animal."

"Man, you guys have no idea what kind of treat we are in for."

More of the people within the supermarket brought out their phones and started recording live, and while they were doing that, Caesar furrowed her brows in displeasure.

Eren despite his frowning demeanor, was glaring in confusion at the words and reaction of the people.

"What a surprise." Cassius said with a smile, "It seems fate has brought all three of us here.

The usurper Caesar Moon. Me the gambit king, and you the bulldozer."

Cassius placed his palm on his face and chuckled.

"Man, this has to be one of fate’s greatest jokes." Cassius said, "Caesar Moon standing in place with her original opponent and the one brought to replace me.

So delicious and yet funny, don’t you think..."

"Eren?" Cassius continued with a smirk as he glanced at Eren.

Eren however kept quiet for a time before he parted his lips and spoke.

"Who the fuck are you?"

Immediately Cassius and the others heard that question, Cassius was instantly stunned while some of the people covered their mouths to hold their laughter.

Caesar arched both brows before she turned her face away and rubbed the back of her neck.

Cassius chuckled again with both eyes closed.

"You’re really funny." Cassius said to Eren, "You don’t remember me? Me, Cassius Gold? The gambit king?

We’ve had a few encounters on pay per views? Me and my faction has jumped you?

Doesn’t ring a bell?"

Eren however continued staring at Cassius with his usual glaring demeanor and answered bluntly.

"No."

The answer of Eren made one of the people recording to burst out in laughter, causing Cassius to glance at the person laughing who was a dark skinned female beastfolk.

Cassius narrowed his eyes at the woman before he returned his sight back to Eren.

"You clearly don’t remember me? Okay, that’s cool." Cassius said, "I shouldn’t have expected anything from someone like you, but that’s okay."

Eren slowly grunted and walked past Cassius. As he reached close to Caesar, he narrowed his eyes and walked past her as well.

Eren then took the item he came for and walked past Caesar again.

"I suppose you have nothing to say to your future opponent this coming Thursday." Cassius said to Eren.

"Hm?" Eren said in confusion as he turned towards Cassius.

"Oh? You don’t know?" Cassius asked with a smirk,"The handicap match you requested for as your final match was changed. You’re now fighting the Mizukai pet on Thursday."

"Thursday? But I fight on Wednesdays." Eren said.

"Tell that to the usurper’s managers." Cassius replied as he crossed his arms, "I believe her managers sweet talked the higher-ups into changing your final match before you take your leave.

So now, you have to forget about the handicap you placed against yourself and focus on facing the nepo-bastard of the Mizukai family."

Eren softly growled while gritting his teeth as his eyes shifted towards Caesar.

"Though I must warn you." Cassius said with a smug smile as he closed his eyes, "You might lose to her. After all, she beat Damien Bane and the next day after her victory, she declared that she will thrive and dominate everyone.

Quite arrogant, don’t you think?"

"Bitch." A fair skinned man among the people recording whispered about Cassius in disgust.

"That’s rich coming from him." Another fair skinned man whispered.

"Not gonna lie, she is pretty arrogant." A fair skinned female beastfolk replied.

While this was happening, a certain fair skinned female human who was a worker of the supermarket, turned to a dark skinned male beastfolk worker and started conversing with him.

"Sir, I can feel things are about to get out of control. Shouldn’t we get the security?" The female asked.

"And ruin the moment? No." The beastfolk replied, "Can’t you see the amount of exposure this will give my business?

Go tell our security that no matter what happens, they should not interfere."

Meanwhile as Eren Brock fully turned his gaze towards Caesar, he slightly tilted his head to the right and talked.

"So you had your managers change my match just so that you can face me?"

"I didn’t tell them anything." Caesar replied.

"Of course she doesn’t need to." Cassius said to Eren, "She’s a Mizukai pet. She doesn’t need to tell them to do anything for her, they will just do it.

They changed your match just so that she can have more chances to shine... Just like they removed me from being her opponent and made it you."

"Disrupting the chain of structure just so that the spotlight can be on her." Cassius continued with a smirk while closing his eyes, "Nepotism, am I right? Ruins everything for everyone not involved.

Well, I guess this is what happens when-"

"Shut up." Eren cuts in, leading Cassius to open his eyes in confusion.

"Did you... Did you just tell me to shut up?" Cassius asked.

"Shut up." Eren replied Cassius with a firm tone.

Cassius scowled at Eren and clenched his fists while Eren was still glaring at Caesar..

The duo’s eyes were locked with each other from a bit afar.

"I remember you. I saw you on Friday after I beat those bastards in a fight." Eren said, "To think you would ruin my request and become my opponent in the ring is pissing me off."

"It’s really pissing me off...!" Eren continued as veins bulged at the left side of his cheek.

"Oh boy." A dark skinned male human whispered.

"So right now, we are going to have ourselves a squabble." Eren said, "So how about this: Since you are supposed to be my opponent before I take my leave of absence, let us have a little fight here.

Let me see the skills of the Mizukai pet. The one who beat Damien Bane in the House of Legends pay per view.

Show me what you got... ’Usurper’."

"No." Caesar voice sounded, catching Eren off guard.

"Hm?" Eren said.

The reply of Caesar made several of the people there in the supermarket glance at each other in confusion, bringing some to whisper among themselves.

"Did she just say no?"

"She’s refusing a fight?"

"Well, she didn’t refuse one when it came to those thugs yesterday."

"Whether my managers interfered with your plans or not is none of my business, but I will say this: if you want a fight with me that bad then wait till the appointed day." Caesar said while Cassius arched a brow, "Right now, I have better things to do, and I’m not gonna waste energy proving myself in a fight where there is nothing to be gained."

"Thursday is not too far from now, so save your strength for your big match." Caesar continued as the manager was grinning while also live streaming this incident on his phone, "So until that day comes..."

"There will be no fight." Caesar said as her irises glowed while she lethally narrowed her eyes and parted her lips sideways.

Silence sat in the store for a while until it was broken by Cassius’s laughter.

"No?! There will be no fighting?! What do you think this is, some kind of movie?!" Cassius asked while smiling, "You’re talking like the real fight is on Thursday. Thursday isn’t a fight, it’s a ’match’.

A match has rules and structures, but a fight however got none of those things. But of course you wouldn’t know that because you’re a pampered woman."

Cassius chuckled and continued speaking.

"Look at you. In your mind you thought you just said something wise but all you did was-"

"Shut up." Eren interrupted Cassius.

Cassius stayed quiet for some seconds, glaring at Eren (who himself was glaring at Caesar) with an arched brow while gritting his teeth.

"You know, that’s the third time you are telling me to shut up." Cassius said to Eren, "Do it again and-"

"Shut up!" Eren interrupted again.

Cassius fully turned towards Eren and started walking down his direction.

"Now listen here you swole pigheaded prick!" Cassius said to Eren while still walking, "I don’t care what they call you but you don’t talk to me like tha-!"

Like a blur, Eren swiftly swung his arm without looking, landing a devastating backhand punch as soon as Cassius had covered the distance between himself and Eren.

The power behind the attack sent Cassius spinning backwards in mid air until he collapsed on the ground, catching several of the people in that store offguard.

"What the hell?!"

"Gaddamn!"

Cassius convulsed violently until he coughed out blood and went limp while his eyes became pupilless.

Seeing the state Eren left Cassius in, the manager and several of the customers eyes widened in horror including Caesar herself.

Eren then grunted and started walking towards Caesar.

The ominous pressure from Eren’s approach made Caesar subconsciously raise her fists to fight and during that moment, a couple of people that were slightly entranced, saw the red aura of a flaming bulldozer protruding from Eren.
