Supremacy Games

"Mr. Mania, I don't want to negligent your feelings, but I have to ask." Madam Zoe shoved her microphone in Mastermania's face and asked while glaring at Felix in irritation, "What was your first thought after your polite handshake was rejected in an ungentlemanly manner."

From her aggressive actions and tone, it was clear that she was holding a grudge against Felix. Mastermania did not even mind the way she shoved the mic in his face.

He was too desperate for someone to get him out of this shit hole that Felix put him in without ruining his image. Zoe just did so by her question.

"Honestly, I was just slightly surprised, nothing more." He smiled warmly as he clutched the mic like his dear life was relying on it and continued, "Mr. Landlord is entitled to reject my handshake. I don't think that my face is big enough to gain everyone's respect." He bowed his head slightly at Felix's direction and did the unexpected. "I apologize for putting you in such a difficult position Mr. Landlord."

"Oh, My." Madam Zoe exclaimed and tried to get back the mic from Mastermania to speak her mind, but the bastard was gripping on it tightly, not planning on letting go anytime soon.

And so, she left it and created another one quickly. The last thing she wanted was to create another embarrassing situation. Begging Felix publicly for an interview but still getting rejected was enough for her.

"I don't think it was necessary to apologize Mr. Mania. No one was at fault in this situation. It was simply a misunderstanding. I assume that even Mr. Lord is thinking the same."

Just as she faced Felix and wanted to ask him if he thought so as well, her mouth refused to let out the words.

'F*cking bastard! I curse you and that stupid privacy option!!'

She turned around and continued to speak with Mr. Mania, not showing a single hint of embarrassment after her failure.

She then began asking him the usual basic questions. Such as the objective he planned to achieve in this game or his wish if he managed to ace it.

Mastermania responded to each of her questions eloquently, trying his best to rebuild his image. If it was not for fear to get beat up by the players, he wouldn't mind hogging the mic for the entire duration of interviews.

Sadly, Madam Zoe quickly got bored with his genetic answers and coughed to interrupt him from his constant fans ass-kissing.

"Mind telling us how confident are you in winning the open wager?" She asked.

Without a single hesitation, Mastermania answered confidently, "If I wasn't sure that this bet was in the bag, I wouldn't have joined in the first place." He smiled handsomely towards the camera and added, "I promise you my dear fans, that I will show you a new version of me." He glared at Felix who had his hand on his face. Probably scratching his cheek in boredom, and said lastly, "You will love it."

The spectators didn't know if he was speaking to them or Landlord, as they clearly saw the weird way he was eyeing Landlord.

But they didn't bother to think deeply about it, as no matter what he meant by it, they were still looking forward to his promise.

After so, he gave back the mic to Madam Zoe and went to socialize with other players. Zoe didn't even bother to catch up to him as this was exactly what she wanted, for him to bounce and let her interview the darling of the Maganda tribe chief, Princess Bird.
