"I am, and always will be grateful for the love and priceless support from you all. The Grindhouse Wrestling universe had fueled my motivation and happiness, and this had been the major power of my sess."
"From Day One, y''all had always been there, and I, Max Fury, am honestly thankful with all my heart!"
"I promise to give my all and always be the Max Fury that you all love. Thank you, universe!"
Arnold dropped a post on his page after making a written speech. After his winst night, it was right that he had to show gratitude to his fans... Coming out victorious in his first title defense.
Within minutes, countlessments began to drop...
----------
"We love you, Max Fury! Keep soaring!"
"The Legacy, Max Fury!!!"
"A true humble fighting champion! Kudos to you Max Fury."
"Here we go again! Another victory for you, champ. Congrattions!"
"I love you, Max Fury! Please marry me!"
-----------
There were too manyments before Arnold could know it, and he couldn''t reply to all. To maintain actual professionalism, it was best that he didn''t reply to any.
However, while reading some of thements, his reactions were mixed with shock, delight, and wonder.
The most interesting part of thements was Arnold seeing ady begging to marry him.
"Crazy..."
Arnold furrowed his brows in shock, but it was only clear that he was alien to this kind of event. With being such a trending superstar, things like this are sure to alwayse.
The post ended up getting 15k reactions and 3kments on Facebook, a few figures less than 10k reactions on TikTok and Instagram, with 6k reactions with over nine hundredments on Twitter.
d and satisfied with his social media growth, Arnold couldn''t hold back the smile that kept appearing on his face.
Right now, only top figures like Tristan ck, Eclipse Son, Jerry ze, Matt Killian, and ck Pope were the ones who had more followers on social media than him. Most of the men were fighters in the high-level roster, except for Jerry ze, who had made a great impact in the low-level roster for years before Arnold''s arrival.
It was indeed, a great growth... And even the Grindhouse Wrestling Management themselves were amazed.
Honestly, he was the face of the show at this moment... Well, perhaps, with Tristan ck, the top champion.

"We are on our way to your room. How about we go have lunch together?"
Arnold ran into Mark and L on his way to the gym, which stunned the sh*t out of him. He hadn''t gotten to see them aftering back from Arizona, making him a little guilty for that act...
Mark smiled at his friend without a hint of anger around his eyes. L, too, didn''t seem to have been mad with his attitudetely, making Arnold a little surprised.
They were all cool towards him as if nothing really happened.
Anyway, did something really happen???
Keeping those thoughts to the side, Arnold forced a smile back at them and replied.
"Actually... I am on my way to the gym. I ate a lot at breakfast, and I''m full now."
L and Mark exchanged nces for a moment and turned to Arnold after.
"It''s okay. How about we go workout together then?" Mark suggested with yet that congenial smile he always showed.
"Yes. It''s been a while since I visited the gym. I think I need to train a little," L said and looked at Mark again, "After all, we also ate a lot at breakfast."
"Yeah, hahaha. We ate a lot," Markughed upon response.
However, Arnold was only busy observing the weird conversation of his friends. He suddenly noticed something fishy, as if they were up to something, maybe some kind of n to make him develop an interest in L again.
But he had doubts... He guessed that wasn''t the case. Perhaps they just needed to be around him and that''s all.
Although he was trying his best to limit his time with them due to his ambition, Mark and L had gained a huge portion of his trust.
He had taken them as his friends, which meant a lot to him... This was why he never joked with the term "friend." Once he called you his friend, then you are like a sibling to him.
"Okay sure then. Let''s go the gym," Arnold had no choice but to ept their proposal, but he had promised not to get distracted...
The system already made a reaction before he could even realize it...
[Hmmm... It''s clear that Max Fury is a stubbornd.]
''Don''t say that, I promise not to get distracted.''
Arnold tried to convince his Advocate that he wouldn''t let the association at the gym ruin his goal for the day.
[Let''s see how it goes then.]
[You gained 25 points to your Intelligence after yourst match.]
[Intelligence: 95.]
[You only need five more points for your Intelligence to gain your first Anonymous Skill.]
''Whoa! I have gotten there!''
[No. Not really. Your goal today is not to advance your Attributes but to learn to understand the concept of fitness andbat. To start up, you have to visit the training ring instead.]
"Huh...?"
[Yes. You have to understandbat to enhance yourbat skills tactically.]
Arnold hesitantly red and nodded. "Sure..."
[Good. This way, you can be more skillful and tactical in your matches, making it easy for you to weaken opponents at the beginning period of the match.]
[If you can learn a lot of tacticalbat, then it''s guaranteed that you will gain up to five points to your Intelligence, helping you acquire your first Anonymous Skill.]
[Good luck...]
Arnold''s mouth was sealed after the system''s order. He wondered how his friends might feel if he told them that he had changed his mind, weighing him down... Confused.
He needed to acquire his first Anonymous Skill anyway.
It took quite a moment before he could make up his mind to tell them, and at that time, they were almost at the gym house.
"Hey, guys. I''m so sorry but I have a change of mind. I would be practicing in the training ring instead," Arnold said with an apologetic tone.
However, his friends just didn''t seem to have be disappointed with his sudden decision. They smiled after those words, making Arnold stunned in the inside.
While blinking confusedly in front of them, L nced at him and spoke.
"It''s okay. There is actually no problem with that..."
"If you are going to the training ring, then..."
"We are going to the training ring too."
