Chapter 151: The Fight That Shouldn’t Begin
Avery didn’t take her eyes off the tablet.“…Wait,” she said quietly.The man paused mid input, his finger hovering just above the screen. “Yes, ma’am?”Avery leaned forward slightly. The glow from the display reflected in her eyes.“I want to adjust my bet.”Anna turned her head, one brow lifting. “Seriously?”Avery didn’t look at her. “Two billion,” she said.The man blinked just once. “…On Robert?”Avery nodded.There was a short pause before Anna let out a soft breath through her nose, almost like a laugh.“You really think he’d let us down?” Anna said, tilting her head. “Or… you just don’t like making more money?”Avery finally glanced at her.The question hung there for a second.“…Fine,” Avery muttered. “Make it five.”The man’s fingers slipped for a split second before he caught himself and typed again, faster this time. His voice dropped without him realizing it.“Five… billion. Understood.”Around them, a few heads turned— not dramatically, but enough. Conversations dipped,
Chapter 152: Who is the Man in the Ring?
For a moment after the lights came back on, no one moved. The entire arena just froze. The man stood at the center of the ring, still as a statue, like the noise from before had never existed. Like the chaos, the shouting, and the countdown didn't apply to him at all.Then the whispers started."Who is that?""Was he there before?""That’s not part of the program."Phones lifted into the air. People leaned forward in their seats, squinting to get a better angle. The light shifted slightly above the ring, and that was when they saw it.A mask.It was black and smooth, covering his entire face. It wasn't flashy or dramatic— just black with eyeholes. The confusion in the crowd deepened instantly."Why is he wearing a mask?""Is that a replacement fighter?"Down in the ring, Tristan didn't move at first. Then, slowly, his smile faded. It didn't disappear completely, but his shoulders adjusted. His stance shifted by a fraction, like his body had picked up on a threat before his mind even
Chapter 153: The Moment He Returned
The letters on the screen stopped scrambling. One by one, they locked into place.R O B E R T.For a split second, the room was dead silent. Then, the arena exploded."NO WAY!""HE WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME?"The sound hit like a wave, crashing from every direction. People stood up and leaned over the railings, trying to make sense of what they were seeing. Cameras zoomed in, and the screens flickered as the name stayed fixed above the ring: Tristan vs Robert.Up in the VIP section, Avery didn’t move. Her chest felt tight, and her fingers curled into her palms as she stared at the ring. Her mind was racing, trying to connect the dots. He had been gone. He wasn't reachable or traceable."How is he there?" she whispered. She didn't even realize she’d said it out loud.Next to her, Anna suddenly leaned forward. A sharp smile appeared across her face. "That’s my brother!" she shouted, her voice cutting through the noise.A few people nearby turned to look at her. Anna ignored them and glanc
Chapter 154: The Man You Can’t Touch
The fist should have landed.From the way Tristan moved— the violent speed, the focused intent, the massive weight he threw into his shoulder— there was no version of this reality where that punch should have missed. It was a career ending shot, the kind Tristan had used to put a dozen men in the hospital.But it missed.The glove cut through the air, stopping just a fraction of an inch from Robert’s jaw. It was so close that the wind from the punch ruffled Robert’s hair. The front row fans winced, expecting the sound of breaking bone, but all they heard was the whoosh of empty air.A ripple of confusion went through the arena. On the giant overhead screens, the replay caught the moment from three different angles, and in every single one, it looked the same— a clean, impossible miss.“Wait— did he just slip that?” someone in the crowd shouted.“No way,” another voice answered. “He didn't even move!”Up in the VIP section, Avery leaned so far forward that her chest pressed against the
Chapter 155: The Condition
Tristan’s elbow came crashing down with the force of a falling anvil. It wasn’t a strike meant for points, and it wasn't even meant for the match. It was a raw, illegal, downward smash aimed straight at the base of Robert’s skull.Gasps tore through the front rows. People jumped to their feet, expecting a spray of blood and a body hitting the floor. But the thud never came.The elbow cut through the air and stopped at the end of the attack range below Robert’s head. It didn’t look like it was blocked or deflected, it just missed. Tristan didn't stop. His body twisted with desperate, violent energy, and his knee drove forward to follow up the strike. It was a brutal chain of movement meant to crush whatever was left standing.The knee drove forward with full force— and passed right by Robert’s side, hitting nothing but air.For a second, the physics of the room didn't make sense. From the outside, it just looked like Tristan was having a bad night.“What was that?” someone yelled from
Chapter 156: The Price of a Hit
Thousands of eyes were locked onto Robert, who stood in the center of the ring as if he were the only person in the building.“On one condition.”The words hung in the air like a blade suspended by a single thread. Tristan’s chest rose and fell in heavy, uneven jerks. Sweat poured down his face, dripping off his chin and soaking into the canvas. His gloves were trembling at his sides, not from physical exhaustion, but from a rage so deep it was starting to choke him.“Say it,” Tristan snapped, his voice rasping.Robert finally turned, he faced Tristan fully. Their eyes met— Robert’s calm and bottomless, against Tristan’s chaotic and bloodshot.“You want to hit me?” Robert said quietly. “Then earn it.”A ripple of murmurs passed through the crowd. Tristan’s jaw tightened until the muscles in his neck stood out like cords.“What are you talking about?” Tristan growled.Robert didn’t raise his voice. The silence in the arena was so absolute that his whisper could have reached the back r
Chapter 157: The Correction
“This match is… invalid.”The announcer said it, but even he didn't sound convinced. The words drifted out into the massive arena and immediately started to fall apart. They felt thin and desperate, like a lie told by someone who knew they were already caught.At first, the crowd just murmured. Then the murmurs turned into heated arguments.“He didn’t land a single hit,” a man in the front row shouted, gesturing wildly at the ring. “That’s not a draw! That’s a humiliating win!”“What are they protecting?” another voice joined in.Phones were already up everywhere. Replays rolled across thousands of glowing screens— slow motion, different angles, zoomed frames. Every single video showed the same impossible reality: Tristan’s punches slicing through empty space, his elbows missing by the width of a hair. Robert barely moved. No blocks. No impact. No struggle.Again and again, the screens showed the same result. Nothing touched him.The noise in the arena didn't settle. It grew sharper
Chapter 158: After the Fall
The roar of the arena wasn’t going away. It rolled through the stadium in waves— cheers mixed with shouting, laughter, and a lot of genuine anger. The fight was over, but the energy in the room was still shaky and unpredictable. People didn't know whether to celebrate or start a fight of their own.In the ring, Robert stood perfectly still for a long moment. He didn't look at the crowd or the cameras. He just waited.Then his team moved in. One of them reached for his gloves, his fingers working quickly to loosen the leather straps. Another man stepped in from the side, whispering something low, but Robert didn't even acknowledge him. The gloves came off and were dropped into waiting hands like they were just pieces of trash. Robert flexed his fingers once, as if he were waking them up after doing something that barely took any effort at all.There was no celebration on his face or victory dance. He just turned his back on the ring and started walking.Behind him, the announcer’s vo
Chapter 159: The Debt Collector
In the back of a dim locker room, a small television screen flickered with a replay of the VIP section.“…and the new world champion— ROBERT!” the announcer’s voice echoed through the speakers.One of Tristan’s crew members leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. “They look good together, honestly,” he muttered, watching the screen.Another guy chuckled under his breath. “Yeah, they look like they’re on top of the world.”Tristan didn’t say anything at first. He sat on a wooden bench, his head down, but then his eyes slowly shifted to the screen. He saw the kiss. He saw the way the crowd was screaming for Robert. He saw the respect in everyone’s eyes— the respect that used to belong to him.His face twisted in disgust and anger. “Turn it off,” he muttered.Nobody moved fast enough.Then— Tristan’s hand shot out like a spring. His punch landed clean, right in the middle of the television. The glass shattered into a thousand pieces, and the screen collapsed inward with a sharp, h
Chapter 160: The Lion’s Den
The hallway didn’t feel like it was part of the arena anymore. As Robert walked deeper into the building, the roar of the crowd faded away until it was completely swallowed by thick concrete walls and low ceilings. The air down here felt heavy, and the lights hummed with a dull, yellow glow that barely reached the corners of the floor.The men waiting at the bottom of the stairs didn't move. They didn't try to look tough or say a word. They just watched. Robert stepped off the last stair without a second of hesitation. He didn't ask where they were going or who was waiting. One of the men turned and started walking, and the rest followed behind Robert like shadows.They stopped in front of a massive steel door. There was no handle and no keypad on the outside— just a sheet of cold, smooth metal. A soft click echoed from somewhere inside, and the door slid open on its own.The elevator waiting behind it was small and lined with dark steel panels. There were no buttons or mirrors ins
