Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 579

Chapter 579: Assignment

Lennox’s POV

The fights began one after another.

Warriors stepped into the circle, fists raised, bodies tense. Dust lifted with every step they took. The air felt hot and loud with cheers and growls.

I stood among the new recruits, watching quietly, studying everything.

Every punch.

Every kick.

Every mistake.

Louis and Levi sat high on their seats, watching each fight like true Alphas. Their expressions were serious, focused... but behind their eyes, I could see it—

Pain.

Loss.

My death still sat heavy on their hearts.

Every time Louis called the next pair of fighters, his voice shook a little.

Every time Levi crossed his arms, he clenched his jaw hard, like he was trying not to feel anything.

Golden walked to the front and raised his voice.

"These are our new recruits!" he shouted. "We will test their strength tonight. The best will join the front warriors—the warriors who stay inside the mansion and protect the Alpha family!"

The crowd cheered.

My heart tightened.

Front warriors.

My warriors.

The ones I trained myself.

Golden continued, "Each new recruit will face an older warrior. If they do well, they move to the next round."

Warriors stepped forward.

Names were called.

One by one, they fought.

Some lost quickly.

Some held on.

Some impressed the crowd.

But I waited.

Quiet.

Still.

Watching.

My new face did its job—no one looked at me twice.

After a while, Golden glanced at the list in his hand and then lifted his voice again.

"Kaine!" he called.

My new name.

I stepped out from the group, keeping my head slightly down. Golden gave me a careful look, then spoke loudly for everyone to hear:

"This is Kaine. He is my old friend from the east borders. He trained under a tough school—strong, quiet, disciplined."

Whispers spread through the crowd.

"Who is he?"

"Never seen him before."

"He looks serious."

"He’s tall..."

I didn’t look at anyone.

I kept my breathing slow.

But I felt two strong gazes land on me.

Louis.

Levi.

They both leaned forward slightly, watching me with furrowed brows.

Suspicious.

Curious.

Confused.

They sensed something but couldn’t understand it.

When I reached the center of the field, I bowed slightly to them—like a new warrior would.

Levi frowned deeper.

Louis whispered something to him, but I couldn’t hear it.

Their eyes stayed on me.

Golden then called my opponent.

"Latino! Step forward!"

Latino jogged out with a big grin on his face. He lifted his fists high and let out a shout to impress the crowd.

I almost laughed.

Latino was strong, yes.

And fast, yes.

But I knew his weak points better than anyone.

Because I trained him myself.

He didn’t know he was facing the Alpha who had once taught him how to fight.

He bowed quickly.

I bowed back.

The crowd grew excited.

Golden lifted his arm.

"Begin!"

Latino charged at me instantly, just like he always did.

Fast.

Loud.

Predictable.

He swung at my left side.

His favorite opening move.

But I had seen it thousands of times.

I stepped aside, grabbed his wrist, twisted lightly, and swept his leg from under him.

He hit the ground hard.

Gasps filled the field.

Latino jumped up quickly, embarrassed, and rushed again—this time aiming a punch at my jaw.

I blocked it with one hand and pushed his chest lightly.

He fell again.

More gasps.

Some warriors murmured, "Who is this guy...?"

Louis leaned forward.

Levi narrowed his eyes sharply.

Latino stood again—breathing hard now. His pride hurt. He wiped his sweat and tried to circle around me.

Wrong move.

Before he even finished turning, I stepped in, grabbed his shoulder, twisted him around, and pinned him to the ground with one arm.

He couldn’t move.

Not even an inch.

Five seconds.

That was all it took.

The crowd exploded with noise.

"What strength!"

"Who is this Kaine?"

"He defeated Latino like he was nothing!"

"Even some front warriors struggle with Latino!"

I let go and stood up slowly.

Latino looked up at me with wide eyes.

Shock.

Respect.

Fear.

I offered him my hand.

He took it, still confused.

When I straightened, I looked at my brothers again.

Louis’s mouth was slightly open.

Levi’s eyes were narrowed so sharply it felt like he was trying to see through me.

Then his gaze drifted... and locked on mine.

Just for a second.
