Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 810

The scene, with the continuous fighting between Brian and Eric, was reaching its climax, and the air seemed to thicken with the mere intensity of the two men. Both had acquired bruises from the other, and soon they seemed to be covered in them.

While the fight continued on, and the audience watched with anticipation as the fight progressed, a small figure stayed hidden by one of the withered reed bushes that surrounded the fight and the area. As she watched, the woman hidden in the bushes widened her eyes as the excitement of the fight washed over her. She raised her camera and then pressed the shutter button unbeknownst to anyone.

She took several pictures through the fight, but at one point, both fighters grappling with each other stumbled back a few steps and got separated. They looked at each other with bloodshot eyes as if they were beasts nastily irritated by each other.

"You truly didn't disappoint me," Brian said in a flat voice as he straightened up and rubbed the blood off the corner of his mouth with a finger.

Eric smiled and raised his eyebrows, replying just as ironically,"I was afraid you'll come back and steal my position as the ruler. So I kept exercising hard for quite a few days!"

Brian smiled helplessly. If Eric dared to joke with him, then it must mean that the dispute between them was gone, or at least temporarily forgotten.

"Cousin," said Eric, smiling while his expression turned serious. "It's said that the bonding as cousins can only exist in this lifetime, but in the next lifetime, such bonding will never continue…" There was a touch of sadness to his words. "If there is really a next life that we'll have, I'll be your younger cousin, and you'll be my older cousin. Deal?"

Brian looked at Eric for a while before saying,"Things in the next life are too far away to tell... Let's just keep our bonds as really good cousins for the rest of our lives! " He had the gut feeling that Eric had planned his failure so he said those words as though they would be his last.

The corner of Eric's lip curled up in a smirk, but it was too stiff.

Just at that moment, a gust of wind blew and faded the smoke away around the area, obscuring the audience's view. And when the audience could see again, Eric and Brian already had revolvers in their hands again, and the muzzles of the revolvers were pointed at each other again.

"Let's do it together!" Brian's voice had always been so indifferent from beginning till now, as he knew that Eric had a lot of things figured out already. But figuring out was one thing. The pain that Eric's discovery brought was another thing. So he planned this duel, including his own failure of the deadly duel. So he wouldn't need to bear the pain of living on and his cousin and Molly could live happily together.

Eric answered quickly,"Okay!"

"Click!"

"Click!"

Both of them pulled the trigger at the same time. Luckily, no bullet came from either gun.
