Before Elias could speak, a voice cut through.
"Cough, cough."
It was loud.
"Sorry, sorry. How about we start, huh?!"
The voice echoed again, loud and enthusiastic this time.
Elias and Evelyn also turned to glance towards the upcoming sound.
A man wearing a black coat and pants stood in the middle of the Colosseum.
"Are we not excited? Why are there no cheers, dear patrons?"
"Fuck your cheers; start it already."
"Yeah, we have been waiting for too long."
"Booo!"
"Ok, I think we have really delayed a lot," the man, the host, said. "But you see, there's a very important reason behind our delay."
"Did your wife finally give a fuck?"
"Oh, no, no. My wife didn't give a fuck. But instead, we have something much greater than my dead wife. We have the presence of a VIP with us today."
"———"
Silence.
The silence curtained the whole Colosseum before; a few minutes later, some guy cheered.
"Oh yeah!"
Following him, the whole Colosseum once more erupted in cheers.
