" Dare to say that again, kiddo?" John started; the only thing that separated between both of them was me who stood in between trying to prevent their clash as much as possible.
" Aren't I right though... Uhm, if I have to describe your life Johnnie, I would say that it is just miserable." Shawn retorted.
It seems that Gerald did not only carry out a background check on me but on all those around me as well. Shawn was playing dirty when he mentioned John's weakness, he did not say it directly but he clearly was talking about his wife who left him taking his kids along with her as she prevented him from ever meeting with him again.
John was so absorbed in fighting that he did not care much about his family, when he came to realize who is more important it was just too late. He lost his sole family because of his own mistakes. He had always regretted doing so.
" That is enough, Shawn. I said let’s go." I repeated in an angry tone now.
" I can't see anyone but an insecure damaged boy in front of me. You speak mostly with your money; if you wanted to humiliate me don't you think you should have done it on your own. Why ask someone to do it for you?" John spat out pointing to the fact that this information was most probably passed to Shawn by an investigator or a special detective.
" I can also speak the language you like if you want," Shawn said ignoring me.
This was getting out of hand; I do not want them to fight. It is true Shawn told me he was personally trained from a young age but still, John was more experienced when it comes to real-life street fights. I will not be able to stop john if he agreed though, after all, Shawn was mistaken to spit all this venom to their faces.
" That is what I am talking about... Let's speak with our fists, choose the place you want." John clarified.
" Here is alright, the place is dirty but it is still worth it to humiliate you in front of the perfect audience. Let your fans watch you getting your ass beaten," Shawn growled dangerously earning a competitive glare from John's side.
I backed away realizing that I won't be able to stop both of them, I looked at Tony who clearly didn't want to get involved with Shawn. He knew very well what powerful men are able to do. On the other hand, John just did not have anything to lose so he did not give a shit about the whole thing.
John headed towards Veko who was responsible for any fight that takes place in the ring, he asked him to empty it, as he would be fighting with Shawn. Shawn was a new face in the ring and everyone was staring his way before the fight even starts. I glanced at Shawn and he looked very confident, I do not know why he followed me nor why was he mad picking up a fight with them out of nowhere.
" You won't wish me luck?" Shawn asked with his back facing me, he was rolling his knuckles with a wrap preparing to step into the ring.
