Chapter 155: Chronicles of Lockdown XII (A Martial Exchange)


    “Thanks,” Mylo muttered as he caught the towel and bottle of water that Jason tossed to him one after the other. With a quick snap of his wrists, he opened up the water bottle and began gulping down.


    Jason headed over to the phone on the stand, intending to read thements made by the viewers about Mylo’s push-ups, but to his surprise, all thements seemed to be directed at him.


    {We heard the girl’s voice, rose dragon. and we demand answers!} a user namedTsettmented.


    {Bruh pulled away from the live stream to answer a woman friend}xBumented.


    {Now we know he ain’t gay}thegame2mented.


    “Gay? What would make you even think that?” Jason immediately asked as that particrment stood out to him among all the others.


    With a face as handsome as his, who would dare to doubt his manly integrity?


    He was the one to give the back shots, not the one to receive them… also he only gave the back shots to females who were born as females. {Well, you’re American, are handsome, and no one has ever seen you with a girl… }thegame2mented in reply to Jason’s question but other questions that shouted him down soon arose.


    {Bruh, that wasn’t even up for debate in the first ce… he’s called the rose dragon for Christ’s sake}Ryeballemented in reply tothegame26’ment.


    {I know why he’s called that… but let’s not forget that he gave the rose to a young girl that’s not even ten}thegame2mented back unwilling to give up on his argument.


    {… so ording to your reasoning… Jason’s a pedo?} A user namedFour9mented in response tothegame26’testment.


    “Ok, hold up, hold up, hold the hell up,”Jason immediately spoke up before anybody else said anything worse than what they were already saying.


    ‘Don’t these guys minds have a filter?’ Jason thought tearfully as he was currently being the one dissected by these guys.


    “First and foremost, I do not swing that way, I never have and I am very confident that I never will…” Jason immediately began speaking, not intending to give these viewers any more opportunity to nder his good name… on Instagram for that matter.


    “Second, the jubtion that led to me being called the… rose dragon, and whatever other names you guys cooked up, was a spur-of-the-moment thing,” Jason paused a little while saying the nickname that had been given to him as it still gave him quite a bit of cringe to say it out loud.


    “Hell, I don’t even know who threw the rose, but as soon as it was in my hand, I just did whatever came to mindAlso, I gave the flower to Selina, the little girl, because I remembered her from a meeting with the fans before the Portimonense match,”


    “As for why I gave it to her specifically when there were other girls in the crowd… well, it’s cuz she bears the same name as my sister who is now in heaven…” he exined, but after this statement, he immediately realized that the conversation could go back to his family, so he opened up his mouth again.


    “Also, I have a girlfriend that would make sure that my head didn’t stay connected to my body if Iactuallygave a rose to another girl on live television,” Jason added for good measure, trying to change the attention of the viewers from little Selina to his ‘girlfriend’ which in reality, Jasonactuallydidn’t have yet.


    Of course, he was talking with Sofia and they were already more than friends, but Jason hadn’t made things official, neither had he had ns of doing so anytime soon… though part of it was because he wasn’t sure he could pull it off.


    To be clearer, it wasn’t that he was scared that Sofia would reject him, rather, the problem was him… Sofia would be his first ‘girlfriend’ in both of his lives, so it was obvious that he did not have any expertise in dealing with it.


    His expertisey in football, cooking, martial arts, ‘genital meets and greets’, shooting, and a few other things… but none of those things would be of any help inthe emotional problems he was having.


    “Anyway, since, all that is clear, then we’ll put that matter aside for now and focus on something more pressing…” Jason immediately continued speaking, not wanting to leave any space for the viewers toment…


    Also, Mylo seemed to have rested up well enough and was staring at him hard for some strange reason.


    ‘No matter how hard this kid looks at me, he still gonna get an ass-whooping,’ Jason thoughtughingly to himself.


    “Hey, do you still want to do the second part of the dare…?”


    “There are no issues if you stop now and you don’t even have to continue holding up the dumbbell,” Jason seemingly stressed, making it seem like hereallydid not want to fight with Mylo.


    “Then what would we have made all this space for?” Mylo replied with a question, gesturing with his hands towards the room.


    “We aredefinitelydoing this,” he continued determinedly and stood up.


    Mylo was already at the point of no return,pletely drunk on his overconfidence and thinking that he could win against Jason in a fight.


    He hadpletely forgotten hisownarguments to the viewers that Jason could ‘fold him better than the mostpactwn chair in seconds’ and he now thought that fighting Jason couldn’t be that hard of a chore.


    The fact that he hadpleted a hundred push-ups in a go, which was something he had never done before, was boosting his confidence even more.


    “Are youreally, really, really sure you wanna do this bro?… there wouldn’t be a ce for you to cry after things go sideways…” Jason still made it seem like he was trying to convince Mylo.


    “Trust me… me saying you can’t win is an understatement… you’re in for a lot of pain is more apt for me to say…”Jasonid bare his true feelings about the oue of the match.


    “And I still say, let’s do this, throw your hands up,” Mylo said with confidence and threw the towel and bottle over to the side


    “… Don’t say I didn’t warn ya,” Jason said with a wry smile on his face as he put the phone stand and adjusted it back so that it could record the uing ‘martial exchange’.
