Fate Online: Shadow

"Her bo..boyfriend!? You!?"

Andy angrily pointed his finger at Dylan when he heard him introducing himself as Allison’s boyfriend.

"Watch, that bastard would punch that punk’s face if he tries to do anything funny"

Michael had already pulled Amanda away from there and brought her to the small seating area, as the two of them watched the commotion before them.

"How can you even say that? Dylan just offended him, this would spell trouble to him later"

"Because he’s a blockhead"

Michael snickered and continued, "If he knew that he had already offended the other party, he wouldn’t hesitate to make the matter worse than it already is. After all, what’s the use of backing down now when you are already riding on the tiger’s back?"

’And this was the reason why he died in the previous timeline’

"This is crazy! Allison, my parents had already asked your parents for marriage, and they agreed! So, what is the meaning of this!?" Matt angrily pointed at Allison as his face turned red from anger and humiliation after finding out that his ’fiancee’ is cheating on him!

The edge of one of Dylan’s eyes twitched and his expression darkened when he heard what Matt had said.

"And I never agreed to it, my parents might have agreed, but I didn’t" Allison quickly snorted in annoyance when she noticed the change of expression in Dylan.

Kyaaaa!

Then the people inside suddenly heard the crowd below them screaming in excitement, Michael even dug one of his ears because their screams felt painful to his ears.

"It’s best that you leave now buddy, as they had said before, this is a get together for us who met inside the game, and I don’t remember knowing someone like you" Michael finally interjected as he finally had enough of the guy, and he could already see Dylan losing his patience, and he wouldn’t even doubt that the guy would smack the shit out of Matt.

"You...what are you doing!? Stop!"

Matt angrily yelled at Michael when the latter suddenly walked over towards them and grabbed his collar and pushed him all the way towards the door and threw him out of the room.

Slam!

Michael then angrily slammed the door before them and locked it.

When Michael turned around, he saw the others looking at him with dumbfounded looks on their faces.

"Let us in, you f*cking bastard!"

"You’re gonna regret this!"

Michael just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ignore them, Let’s go over to the seating area and watch what we came here for"

Michael then made his way to the seating area and the others just shrugged their shoulders.

"Arthur!" Athena yelled and waved her hands excitedly when her eyes landed on a figure on the stage.

*****

"His music ain’t that bad. What do you think?" Michael said, then he turned towards Amanda.

"I guess so. I’m not really a fan of rock music" Amanda replied while sipping a mouthful of coke.

"I FIND AND I CREATE MYSELF!"

"SING WITH ME!"

""NOW OR NEVER..!""

""JUST FIGHT IT OUT!""

""JUST FIGHT IT OUT!""

The concertgoers started singing with Arthur as the concert started reaching its all-time high!

"BREAK OUT PUBLIC PRESSURE, THIS NEVER ENDING CHAIN"

"I’M TRAPPED UP AND..."

Then the concert was finally over, and the group slowly made their way out of the stadium while stretching out their bodies.

"That was a good show"

"I didn’t expect that Arthur guy to be that good"

"I told you, right? He’s the King of Rock!"

They really enjoyed the show, even Michael who wasn’t really into it can’t help but admit that he had a great time.

’Now that I think about it, wasn’t this the first concert that I "truly" attended?’ Michael looked at his clenched fist and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle at that thought.

They did enjoy the show, but now they are hungry again after that.

"Hey, I already booked a restaurant earlier. Someone I know is buying!"

Allison went ahead and took the group to a nearby simple-looking restaurant that also looks luxurious at the same time.

"Why are we coming here? Couldn’t we just go somewhere simpler?" Amanda said the moment they stepped inside the restaurant.

The place was clearly a high-class restaurant with how luxuriously decorated the inside of the place is.

"Because I want to introduce you guys to someone," Allison said to them while showing them a mysterious smile.

Then a waitress led the group towards the second floor of the place, and all of them arrived before a private room.

"What’s the hold-up?" Michael said when he saw that Athena, Dylan, and Dana stopped in the middle of the doorway, blocking the people behind them from entering.

"Ar...Arthur! What are you doing here!?" Dana was the first one to regain her bearings.

"Hahaha!"

Michael looked over their shoulders and indeed saw someone familiar inside, sitting on the sofa.

He was a blonde-haired guy with long hair that reaches his back and a short beard and someone who is probably around the mid to late thirties.

"What’s up, guys!? Did you guys enjoy the show earlier!?" Arthur laughed joyfully at their dumbfounded expressions from seeing him.

"Oh...my...god! Can I take a photo with you!?" Athena quickly dashed over and asked him while taking her phone out.

"Sure, come on over!" Arthur happily said as he gestured for her to come over.

Then all of them took a seat on their own.

The group chatted with each other, but most of them talked about Arthur, except for Michael who just sat there and fiddled with his phone, while Amanda on the other hand, chatted with Allison.

Athena was so starstruck that she kept asking the poor guy a lot of questions, which Arthur happily answered all of it in return and he looks like he doesn’t really mind her behavior.

Their food came following after, and they started digging in.

All of them finally learned that Arthur is actually Dylan and two girls’ uncle, and they are from a family of famous actors and singers, which really dumbfounded all of them, but on the other hand, Michael quickly noticed that Dylan is in a depressed mood.

After all, no man would want to look inferior compared to their woman which Michael could understand, so Michael just gave the guy a tap on his back as an encouragement, and it’s not like his time won’t come to truly shine, especially now that Michael is back to help his brother out!

They ate and chatted happily, and what came as a true surprise to them is that Arthur is really a very easy going guy, compared to his stern behavior in front of a camera.

They were truly satisfied, and by the time they were finished and went outside, it was already dark.

"I really had a great time, it’s a shame that we had to part ways now"

It was a bit of an emotional parting for them, as they can’t believe that they finally met with each other and saw each other’s faces.

"It was really nice meeting you guys. Make sure to add me to Fate Online later, so we can game with each other!"

"Now, we can meet up anytime we want"

"See you guys next time!"

"We also need to sell the japtems we got from the dungeon later"

"Later guys!"

They exchanged numbers, and the most excited one was probably Athena as she can’t believe that she has the numbers of two popular celebrities on her phone, and she can’t wait to brag about it to her best friends in school!
