That day, Ken walked around the city where he came across Hariz.

"You do come here a lot" said Ken.

"Well, the gig organisers and clubs here always asked for me. I guess I do made an impact here despite just being here for a short time" replied Hariz.

"Well, you're one of the best underground guitarist around the world after all. How you're doing nowadays?" asked Ken.

"Good. What about you?" asked Hariz in returned.

"I'm good too. So, will you show up tonight for NXT? It's not everyday we can meet you in Full Sail though" replied Ken.

"Nope. Told you I'm done with wrestling" said Hariz.

"Are you really sure about that?" asked Ken.

"Yes I do. I'm just a wandering guitarist now" replied Hariz. Suddenly;

"Well, well. You do have guts to show up here huh, Mr Pervert" said Peyton that came by with Billie.

"I can go anywhere I want. I'm not a caged bird" replied Hariz before lighted up a ciggaratte causing The Iconic Duo to shock.

"Since when did you smoking?" asked Billie.

"None of your business" replied Hariz.

"Don't you know smoking is bad for your health?" asked Peyton.

"My health is not yours. So, shut the fuck up" replied Hariz.

"We're just saying because we care" said Billie.

"What a liar" replied Hariz

"What's gotten into you actually?" asked Peyton.

"Again, it's none of your business. See you around, Ken" replied Hariz before walked away.

"What the hell is wrong with him" said Peyton.

"Ask yourself about it" replied Ken before walked away.

That night;

Ken walked into the lockeroom where he saw Alpha is already there.

"Hey, bro" greeted Ken.

"Yo. How you're doing?" asked Alpha.

"Good. By the way, I came across Hariz this morning" replied Ken.

"Will he comes here tonight?" asked Alpha.

"Nope. He totally done with wrestling" replied Ken.

"As I thought. Especially when we're still can't prove that he's innocent" said Alpha.

"That's true. I wonder what is actually happen here" replied Ken.

"Let's continue searching" said Alpha. Ken just nodded.

Later on;

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

"Introducing first. From Tampa, Florida. Weighed in 200 lb. Representing Undisputed Era; Roderick Strong!"

"And his opponent. From Chiba, Japan. Weighed in 230 lb; Ken Battousai!"

TING! TING! TING!

The match begins with Ken and Strong get into a series of chained wrestling. After a while, Ken ended it by twisting Strong's hand before snapped his finger followed by a snapmare German suplex. Ken trashtalk at Strong before stomp him multiple time. The Undisputed Era then tried to interupt but the referee stopped them. Seeing this chance, Strong then pokes Ken's eyes before hits The Last Samurai with a dropkick.

A few minutes later;

Ken hits Strong with Harakiri to win the match. Then, suddenly, a black figure entered the ring and hits Ken from behind with a steelchair.

"Wait a minute. It should be me that confronts him" said the NXT Champion Tomasso Ciampa that is already at the gorilla position.

"What? Then, who the hell is that?" asked Arisa.

"I don't know. I didn't book anyone to do that" replied Triple H.

"This is unacceptable" said Alpha before ran out towards the ring as Ken about to be hit with a DDT to a chair. Seeing this, the black figure quickly retreated through the crowds.

Later on;

Ken and some other superstars meet up with Triple H.

"Boss, what is this all about? You said that you know nothing about this?" asked Johnny Gargano.

"That's right. I know nothing about this" replied Triple H.

"Can you do something? Our head might be next" said Adam Cole.

"No I don't think so. That asshole must targetting me" replied Ken.

"But why? You just being here. Who could get offence by you?" asked Bobby Fish.

"Why should I know" replied Ken.

"I think I know" said Ouja.

"Who?" asked Kyle O'Reilley.

"It must be Hariz. He's here in Orlando, right" replied Ouja.

"Yes but he's not here in the arena" said Alpha.

"Are you sure, babe? We all know what is he capable of" replied Io.

"Why don't you start to believe your brother for once?" asked Alpha.

"Why don't you trust me for once, bro?" asked Ouja.

"Because we know him so well that we know he won't do such things" replied Ken.

"We'll get through this soon enough. But now, you better go back home" said Triple H. Then, all wrestlers dismissed.

Later on;

Ken and Arisa were cuddling on the bed.

"So, babe. Who do you think that attacked you just now?" asked Arisa.

"I don't know. But somehow I know that he's targetting me" replied Ken.

"Why?" asked Arisa.

"I don't know, babe. But once I know, I'll kill him with my bare hand" replied Ken.

"Maybe it's Hariz like Ouja said" said Arisa.

"Babe, Hariz got zero motive to do it. He always being a good friend" replied Ken.

"You sure trust him a lot" said Arisa.

"I did" replied Ken.

"I hope you won't regret it" said Arisa.

"I won't. Just like I never regret dating you" replied Ken before pecked a kiss on Arisa's forehead.

Meanwhile;

Hariz just performed in a gig. Once he exited the club, he saw Io was there with Kairi.

"What do you both want?" asked Hariz.

"Whatever you do, just stop it. Just because you hurt my ototo, it won't make me go for a date with you" said Kairi.

"What are you trying to say here?" asked Hariz.

"Stop pretending. We know that you're the one that attacks Ken in NXT just now" replied Io.

"Are you both drunk too much sake or something? I was here in this club making some money to live. When did I have time to cheapshot my own friend?" asked Hariz.

"Stop the act. We know who you are. After I rejected you, you harassed Casey to warn me what can you do to me. Once it failed, you cheapshot my ototo for the same reason" replied Kairi.

"I didn't do anything to him. You're wasting my time here, Kaori-san. Just leave me alone" said Hariz before walked away.

"Why is it so hard for you to admit it? Be a real man and admit your wrong doing" said Io. Hariz just shook his head before lighting up his ciggarate.

"Unbelievable. He's very stubborn just like Ouja-kun said" said Kairi.

"It's okay. He will get caught one day" replied Io. Without anyone realised, someone is watching them with an evil smirk.

2 days later;

Ken and Alpha are working out at the gym when Arisa came with Io and Kairi.

"Hi, babe" greeted Ken but suddenly, Arisa slapped him hard.

"What's that for?" asked Ken.

"I thought you have change but you're still a bully. Why do you hate me so much that you want to break my heart?" asked Arisa furiously.

"What are you talking about?" asked Ken.

"Stop pretending. I already knew what is happening. How could you" said Arisa.

"What did I do?" asked Ken.

"This!" said Arisa while showing Ken a screenshot from a chat that said; Hoshiki is so naive. She really thinks that I would fall in love to her 🤣🤣🤣

"Babe, I swore it's fake!" said Ken.

"No wonder you backed Hariz so much. You're just evil as he is" replied Kairi.

"Neesan, trust me. It's completely fake" said Ken.

"Like I will ever believe in you" replied Kairi.

"Seriously, you fall for a fake chat like that?" asked Alpha.

"Fake? Are you part of this too?" asked Io.

"Part of what?" asked Alpha in returned.

"Never mind. You won't admit it anyway. You're just the same like both your friends. All of you just the same" said Io.

"You don't make any sense" said Alpha.

"Really? If you think so, then it's over between us" replied Io.

"You're joking right?" asked Alpha.

"No I'm not. Good luck defending a cheater and a pervert friends of yours" replied Io.

"And Ken. I'm so disappoint with you" said Kairi.

"Oneesan, please believe in me" plead Ken.

"Don't call me neesan. You're no longer my ototo" said Kairi before all 3 ladies walked away.

"PUKIMAK!" said Alpha while kicked one of the sandbag nearby.

"What just happened?" asked Ken.

"I don't know but we will solve this matter no matter what" replied Alpha. Ken just shook his head before picked his stuff and left the gym.
