Alpha Seduced By His Assassin

The Tip Off

Arianna's POV

My punch hit him hard in the face. He moaned in pain as he clucthed his cheek and looked at me.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

Placing my hand on his chin, I looked him straight in the eyes "A fighter is someone who does not hit his opponent when the other person is not ready. If you hit from behind, it shows that you don't play fair" I said to him.

I pushed him and said "We are not taking him. He is not someone who we are looking for. He won't do justice in the matches with his this kind of attitude" with that said, I got down from the ring and walked out. Diego followed me soon enough.

"That was good way of testing him" he says in an impressive tone.

"Now, let's see how much determined he is to get in" I say with a smirk and entered my office.

"The match will be starting in the after two hours. I will be there once I freshen up" I inform him.

"Okay, I will see to it that everything is ready. It will be packed today" he says.

"Red Ryder is here to lose again after all" I added as I headed towards the washroom.

"I can't wait to show him his place" he calls out.

I don't reply as I closed the door. After taking a shower, I get ready for the match. I wore my blue ankle length jeans and white hoodie along with my sneaker.

Once I was done, I started walking towards the end of the hallway when Lisa met me halfway.

"All set?" I asked her as we turned around the corner and got outside. The way to basement was behind of the building as it was underground.

We climbed downstairs and I knocked

"Password" says my all time bouncers Nico who is funny and is always busy reading books. Seeing him and his personality, no one can say that he likes read. He looks all hard from the outsider but is a big softy.

"Carpe Noctem" I muttered with a roll of my eyes.

We give password because, i have decided to keep the same rule for everyone. And no one gets inside if they don't have a password.

I hear him opening the locks and then the metal door opens. It is chained and locked.

"Hello Boss" Nico greets me. I nod at him and wajed further down the dark hallways which were decorated with all kind of gym and fighting equipments.

"Lisa" Nico smiles at her

We reached the boxing arena. There were people already shouting. Lots of noises as we entered.

We walked towards the room where our fighters will be getting ready.

"You ready Sergio?" I ask him.

"What do you think?" he asks with a cocky look.

"I will take it that you are ready" I said.

Lisa helps him wear the robe with his name on the back.

"Where is Diego?" I looked around for him and found him entering the room.

"It is packed" he muttered excitedly.

"People are going crazy to bet on you guys" said Lisa.

"We are going to make lots of money" added Sergio.

"Nothing new" I muttered. I helped Diego with his robe and gloves.

I walked outside and found the noise raising high as the host took the mic.

This basement could hold up to five hundred people at a time. That's how big it was. That is also the reason why it is this crowded. The air was tense as Sergio walked out.

The host was Leo took the mic "Good afternoon you guys. Welcome to Skull crushers" he shouts in the mic.

There were loud cheers as he called Sergio upon stage.

"Let's welcome the one and only, the famous Ice man" he calls out.

Sergio steps inside the ring. Our cashier Ethan was collecting cash from the people who were betting on Sergio and the opposite party.

"Now now fuckers, why is the crowd being so silent today. Let's make some noise" he screams. I roll my eyes at him as I was sitting in one of the first rows. One side is occupied by me and my staff. The other rows are crowded by localites. There was burst of noises as the crowd heeded the host request.

"And here comes, the Red Ryder"

I watched as my arch enemy walked out of his room. He was wearing a red color robe with a hood over his head.

He got inside the ring. His eyes hard as they roamed around the crowd and then they collided with me. I see his eyes hardening at the sight of me.

I showed him the middle finger just to piss him off. That got him hyped as he started bouncing on the ball of his feet.

That was his problem all the time. He was never a patient many. His anger was always his downfall.

He and I go way back. He was the who wanted to own this basement and it's fights but unfortunately for him, Valentino the previous owner who saved me and trained me decided to give me this fighting club.

That did not sit well with Red Ryder. He had been with Valentino for quite a long time and was damn sure that he will be chosen to own the fighting club. I was shocked when Valentino chose me. I could not refuse him. Since then Red Ryder has taken me for his enemy. He left the fighting club and created one of his own. But the people around here trust our club more. He is not someone who plays fair. Once he did try to organize a match but failed miserably as his team was unfair. Since then the crowd always chose our fighting club.

He participates in all the fights over here and wants to defeat Sergio and Diego. He loses like always.

I come out of my thoughts when Leo waved a ward of cash in front of me.

"It's loaded" he says excitedly as he shows me the bag. I smirked.

"People are betting on Ryder" he screamed as the crowd cheered. I could not reply as there was a blow of whistle and the match started. Leo took his seat.

I wacthed the match with keen eyes. Now both Sergio and Ryder were moving in circles waiting for the other to make the first move. Sergio's eyes looked deadly as he started at his opponent. His muscles flexing as he bounced on his feet.

Ryder was a bit short then Sergio. He had great muscles and strength but he could not match upto Sergio's strength and fast pace. Sergio started playing with his opponent. He likes to tire them until nothing remains when he makes the final move.

He starts with the punches left right. Ryder was trying his best to dodge. The fucker had studied Sergio's moves this time. But we were ready for this. He had been fighting Sergio for a long time, since a year and knows all his moves.

I made sure Sergio changes some of his moves. I had trained with him and we had practiced hours according to Ryder as well and the way he fights.

Right when Sergio used his fist to hit Ryder, Ryder moved out of the way, but he did not see the hook step of Sergio. Sergio whirled around and kicked Ryder hard on his legs. Ryder buckled and fell down to his knees.

Sergio did not give him the chance to recover. Once Ryder stood up, Sergio being the Ice man that he is, started throwing punches lefta and right at Ryder.

Ryder loved blood on his opponents face but this time he was the one who was bleeding. I was enjoying the fight when suddenly Nico came towards me. By the the look on his face, I am sure it was not a good news.

I saw that the match was about to end, I held up my hand for Nico to stop and concentrated on the match. Sergio was going to Knock out Ryder.

He used one last hook step, he whirled around and got him right on to his face and eyes. Blood oozed out of his mouth and stumbled backwards. Sergio did not give him chance and kicked him hard which led to Ryder falling down on his back. His energy fully drained.

"And... We have the winner "The Ice Man" calls out the host.

The crowd got wild and started hooting loudly. There groans of disapproval as many lost their best. The people losing was beneficial for the club.

"What is it Nico?" I finally turned to him.

"We have got a problem" he mutters.

"There are cops outside. They are saying that there is new head who is patrolling the place. May be someone tipped him off us. And they are on their way here. We need to vacate the place" he says to me.

"Ask the host to announce" I said to hi. and walked towards the main room. Not even ten minutes passed, the basement was empty and cleaned. Our staff is always ready for any kind of situation. Like this never happens. Maybe there is change in the seniors of the Cops. Maybe he is too righteous.

Diego and I was already at the office waiting for the police to arrive. Everything was normal. Ryder was sent away with his people.

The crowd was not happy about the cancellation of matches but no one could do anything when there was an emergency.

There was knock on the door and in walks an officer. He looked sharp and stoic. Now I know why he was not under our wing. He is new and is too righteous to be bribed.

They all act innocent until they see the money. I stopped myself from rolling my eyes at my inner thoughts.

"How many I help you officer?" I greet him. Diego walked in behind him.

"I heard there was an illegal tournament going on here" he was straight to the point.

I pretended to be surprised "You must be mistaken officer. This is a club who train people for national level fighting tournament which are legal. No shady buisness here" I liked through my teeth.

"I got a call saying that the matches will be held in the Skull crushers basement" he muttered darkly.

I narrowed my eyes at that "Well someone definately played a prank on you officer" I said.

"I would like to see your basement" he said as he did not take my joke for it.

"Diego, my assistant will show you the way as you can see I am busy with some work" I pointed at the files laid out on my table. He did not seemed too happy with my behaviour. 'Get that, you piece of s**t' I murmured.

He stared at me few seconds before Diego cleared his throat.

"Shall we officer?" he asks.

The office gives me one last look before he stalks out of my office. I release the breath I was holding. I watched the time. Ten minutes later Diego walked in.

"That officer was not happy when everything looked clean. He surely looked pissed" Diego informs me as he takes his seat.

"Is he gone?" I inquired

"Yes, sent him off. I did explain to him that the basement is for our training purpose and showed him that we legally own the club" he informs me.

"Good work. Did Lisa find out with our police man as to what the problem is?" I asked him.

That is when Lisa walked in. By the look on her face, I knew it was bad news. My fist clenched tightly when I heard the news. My nostrils flared in anger as to who is the fucker who tipped us off and got away. Not long though, I thought to myself and stalked towards the gym to dissipate some anger which was about to burst out any moment.
