The commentator stood frozen inside his glass booth, his mouth slightly open and his microphone hanging loosely in his hand as he struggled to process what had just happened, the words refusing to come out no matter how hard he tried because in all his years of announcing brutal underground fights, he had never witnessed a champion fall so quickly, so decisively, and so completely.The entire arena remained silent, the deafening cheers from moments ago replaced by a heavy, suffocating stillness as thousands of spectators stared at the ring in disbelief, their eyes locked on the lifeless body of Berserker lying motionless on the canvas, his neck twisted at an unnatural angle while the reality slowly began to sink into their minds that the invincible champion, the man who had dominated this arena for years without a single loss, had just been defeated in a single strike.Some gamblers clutched their heads in shock, others stared blankly at the ring as the weight of their losses crashed

The moment the manager stepped fully into the office, the tension in the room shifted instantly, the air growing heavier as his sharp eyes swept across the space with slow, deliberate calculation before finally settling on Victor. For a brief second, surprise flickered across his face, then quickly transformed into amusement as a wide, knowing smile spread across his lips, his confidence swelling now that he recognized exactly who he was dealing with.“Well, well…” he said slowly, his voice dripping with mockery as he took a few steps forward, the seven hefty men behind him moving in perfect formation like trained bodyguards ready for violence at any moment. His gaze remained locked on Victor as he tilted his head slightly, clearly entertained by the situation unfolding before him.“Victor Crane,” he continued, his grin widening. “Leader of the Iron Wolves faction.”He let out a short laugh, shaking his head in disbelief as though the irony amused him.“Who would have thought you’re b

Kade’s voice had barely settled in the air when he slowly rose from the chair, his movement calm as he placed the champagne glass back onto the desk with a soft clink, the sound strangely loud in the silence that now filled the blood-soaked office. His posture remained relaxed.He began walking forward.Each footstep landed firmly on the floor, splashing lightly through the pools of blood left behind from the brutal fight, the faint wet sound echoing across the room as he moved toward Kimberly with steady, unhurried confidence, like a predator approaching helpless prey that had nowhere left to run.Kimberly’s breathing grew faster.His body trembled uncontrollably as he watched Kade approach, fear gripping his chest so tightly that he could barely swallow, the memory of his seven dead men still fresh in his mind, their lifeless bodies scattered around him like broken dolls. Every instinct inside him screamed danger.Kade finally stopped directly in front of him.He looked down calmly

After a few moments of silence, Victor spoke.“Soon the news will reach the Sovereign,” he said quietly, his tone serious as concern crept into his voice.He glanced toward Kade briefly.“And when it does… he’s going to come looking for us.”A short pause followed.Victor’s expression tightened slightly as he added,“I don’t think we have enough men to resist the Sovereign.”Kade listened quietly as Victor finished speaking, his gaze fixed on the dark road ahead while the faint glow of the city lights reflected across the car windows, the night air heavy with tension after everything that had just happened.But Kade remained completely unbothered.He turned his head slightly toward Victor.“You shouldn’t worry about that,” Kade said calmly. “I know what I’m doing.”Victor studied him for a brief moment, then slowly nodded, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly as trust replaced concern. He had followed Kade through far worse situations before, had witnessed impossible victories

Kimberly remained kneeling on the cold marble floor, his body trembling uncontrollably as the Sovereign’s piercing gaze settled on him, the weight of that stare pressing down like a mountain crushing his spirit. Sweat rolled down his temples, dripping onto the polished surface beneath him as his mind raced, desperately searching for the right words that might save his life.He swallowed hard.Then he began to speak.“Sovereign… I will explain everything,” Kimberly said nervously, his voice shaking as he kept his head lowered in submission. “It started earlier tonight at the arena. Two men arrived—Victor Crane and another man… a fighter named Kade.”Roman Null remained silent, listening.Kimberly continued quickly, speaking in rushed breaths as fear pushed him to recount every detail. He described how Kade had entered the ring and challenged Berserker, how the fight had ended in a single devastating blow, how the crowd had been left stunned as their champion fell lifeless to the ground
