Chapter 153: [Don't unlock]
Arnold considered the fact that Manager Jack Harris wanted him to go to Rampage because of the big payment. It wasn't as if Slamdown wasn't popular after all, Rampage was only a little popular since it was created first.
These things didn't make Arnold decide on where to go, as it would be quite ridiculous for him... Although he knew many would choose to accept the Rampage offer if they were in his shoes...
"Well, I might just be a different person," Arnold muttered as he made his way down the alleyway, approaching his room.
At this moment, he decided not to get the transfer issues in his head, and he wanted to visit his family at the estate and celebrate his win with them.
Entering his room, Arnold dropped his bag and freshened him. He got dressed in a simple white T-shirt printed "Grindhouse Wrestling" and put on a black trouser that had a straight structure down to his ankle. Wearing a black shoe, he made sure that he was well-dressed before he left his room and approached Mark and Lila.
When he met them, they had a little chat and laughed before moving on to the estate. Mark and Lila appeared to be very happy for Arnold's success as the smiles on their face could tell it. While they walked, they kept telling him about how interesting the Royal Rumble match was.
"Honestly, Max. You made it even more interesting!" Lila shouted.
"I never thought you could survive that throw from Lukas Kane in the end, but DAMN! You did it," Mark spoke.
Arnold only laughed slightly as he enjoyed the fun. If he wasn't told that the match was epic, he wouldn't have known.
All he knew was that he went through hell...
And perhaps the viewers could only see the interesting part of it.
"But. But! I'm still wondering why Karl saved you from being eliminated by those tag team partners, then. It's so confusing and suspicious," Lila couldn't help but bring out that discussion.
The smile on Arnold's face had vanished at that instant, replaced by a serious one.
"I also thought of that too... What could he be up to, Max?" Mark had to ask.
"I don't know honestly. It's just complicated. He also messaged and congratulated me on Twitter... He apologized for what he did as well," Arnold explained.
Lila and Mark exchanged stares and returned it to Arnold.
"Really? Then, he should go to hell," Lila's lips curled up as she spoke in distaste.
"C'mon Lila! You don't have to say that. He must have been really sorry to help Max in that important even though he knew that there could only be one winner. I think he is deeply sorry and has changed," Mark said with a serious countenance.

It really appeared that Mark sensed Karl's apology as a genuine one...
Just like Arnold had.
"Anyway, let's just keep that aside. We have to celebrate with your Mom and sisters. They surely will be happy to see you!" Lila tried to obstruct the conversation, and the trio nodded and walked towards the estate.
When they got to the house where Anna and her daughters were living, there was a long session of happiness and celebration.
Arnold had to eat and drink with his family as expected, this time, they decided to make it a big feast by making a full barbequed head of a bull. Arnold already loved beef, and he would love to eat a lot of it while he drank a lot of wine.
"We have a surprise for you, brother!" Audrey stepped up and said with a smile.
"What is that?" Arnold asked while returning a smile as well.
Audrey walked over to a different room and brought out a white box after a few seconds. Arnold threw a glance at it and swallowed a few times.
"Here we go!" Audrey dropped the white box on the table, waited for a while, and then opened it.
There, a blue cake could be spotted. On the cake was a written design, "Max Fury," which was boldly written, while below was a small design text written "Royal Rumble Winner."
With a heartfelt smile, Arnold stood up and hugged Audrey. He did the same to his mother and Eva as well, making the celebration more epic.
Then while they enjoyed, they both raised their cups and cheered.
"Cheers to success!"
"Cheers!"
The family of Gallagher and Arnold's friends ended up eating and drinking until it was already late. Arnold made sure to give his family a good and memorable visit as he promised to see them often.
He also informed his mother of the transfer and told her his plans of buying a house in a safe place for them in New York.
"I'm proud of you, Arnold. Your father also be."
These were the words that came out of Anna's mouth emotionally, but Arnold was always there to make her act strong.
"We are no longer poor, mother. We are rich. You have to see yourself as a superior woman unlike your days in the hometown," Arnold advised.
His mother could only nod her head in response and just hugged her son the more. He finds it hard to believe that all his suffering is gone...
It was pretty joyful and a little unbelievable.
She once thought that Arnold would never achieve his dreams since the path to becoming a professional wrestler was really difficult and had many challenges. Now, he had achieved that dream and had changed their lives for the better.
Truth be told, her happiness couldn't be expressed if she tried to.
When Arnold and his friends went back to their various rooms, he decided to return to his research on Rampage and Slamdown.
Most video bloggers were criticizing these two shows, so he decided to watch a lot of these videos from really popular and influential bloggers.
At least, he could find something reasonable to decide on what to do and what move to make.
The system itself had urged Arnold not to go to Rampage just because of the offer.
After all...

If Rampage is really better than Slamdown, then he would have to change that.
