176. An Old Enemy
He gathered every fragment of energy back to its center.Refining it.Organizing it.Removing the chaos left behind by countless collisions.The collapsing warehouse faded from his awareness.The pain faded.The noise faded.There was only the rhythm of his breathing.And the battle that was about to decide everything.Several seconds passed in silence.Outside, the sound of splintering wood echoed more and more frequently. The warehouse was clearly on the verge of collapse.Yet inside, time seemed to slow.Both men opened their eyes at almost the same moment.And from that instant, there were no more words.Whoosh!They moved.This time there were no more tests.No more probing attacks.No more measuring strength.Only strikes meant to end the fight.BOOOOM!Their first collision shattered part of the floor beneath them.Neither retreated.Instead, both pressed forward harder.THUD!Oscar's punch landed.Blocked.WHAM!A counterattack slammed into his side.But he kept advancing.The
175. Not Yet at His Limit
Oscar twisted aside, narrowly avoiding a sweeping strike.And—BOOOOM!A full-powered punch crashed into the man's chest.This impact was different.Deeper.Heavier.More concentrated.The Black Circle leader was launched backward.His body slammed into an iron support pillar, bending the metal upon impact.Steel shrieked.The warehouse shook violently.Sections of the ceiling began collapsing.Dust drifted down like gray rain.Silence followed.Oscar stood motionless.His breathing was heavier now.But his eyes remained sharp.He waited.Several seconds passed.Then the man moved.Slowly, he rose from the rubble.The man's hand still gripped the steel staff, though his hold had subtly changed.A thin trail of blood ran from the corner of his mouth.Yet he smiled."It's been a long time..." he said quietly. "Since someone hit me like that."He straightened.The energy around him began to shift.Deeper.Heavier.Darker.The air inside the warehouse became harder to breathe."In that ca
174. Pressure and Cracks
For the first time, the attack didn't land.The two forces collided and pushed against each other.Only for a few seconds.But it was enough.Oscar twisted his wrist, locking the path of the steel staff."Got you," he said quietly.Then he drove forward.The man was forced back a step.His expression changed.Only slightly.But it was enough to reveal that Oscar was far from an ordinary opponent.Oscar gave him no time to recover.He surged forward.Whoosh!The distance between them vanished instantly.THUD!His first punch slammed into the man's chest.The Black Circle leader blocked it with his forearm.BAM!Oscar's elbow immediately followed, targeting his neck.Blocked.CRACK!A low kick swept toward his legs.The man leaped clear.The exchange accelerated.No pauses.No words.Only impacts and increasingly strained breathing.A few moments later, they separated once more.But the situation had changed.The man was no longer completely relaxed.And Oscar had begun to find his rhyt
173. The Master of the Black Circle
The fight had begun.At the very center of the enemy's stronghold.And this time—Neither side intended to hold back.Outside, the ocean wind howled across the harbor, as if sensing the storm that was about to unfold.Inside, two powerful forces collided.And the real battle finally began.The clash inside the warehouse continued to echo through the building.Shelves collapsed, glass bottles shattered across the floor, and the air filled with dust and the sharp scent of crushed herbs and chemicals.Oscar and the man separated once more.This time, both had measured each other.The man stared at Oscar with a faint smile."Just as I expected... you're different."Oscar stood tall, his breathing calm and steady."Get to the point," he said flatly.The man didn't seem offended. Instead, he chuckled softly."Fair enough. I don't like wasting time either." He paused.Then he slowly walked toward Oscar."I don't actually want to fight you."Oscar remained silent."I have something far more i
172. The Enemy Waiting in the Dark
"Fine then," he said quietly.He took a single step forward.The atmosphere around him shifted.Pressure rolled outward like an invisible wave.And then he vanished.BOOM!A massive impact shook the ground.The battle exploded in front of the warehouse.But inside the building—someone stood on the upper level, watching from above.A faint smile appeared on his face."So he really came."His eyes narrowed."Good."The man turned and walked deeper into the warehouse."Let him come."His voice was quiet, but carried authority."The real game is only beginning."Outside, Oscar continued pushing forward.One opponent after another fell before him.Without realizing it, he was being guided exactly where they wanted him.Deeper.Closer to the heart of the nest.Closer to the enemy who had been waiting all along.---The warehouse doors stood open.The sounds of fighting outside still echoed through the night, but they were growing more distant.Oscar stepped inside without hesitation, leavi
171. The Enemy's Nest
"Who's in charge?""I don't know," the man said quickly. "We've never met the leader."Oscar remained silent, studying him."Where is their base?"The man hesitated again.Then he saw Oscar's expression and immediately gave in."An old warehouse... down by the abandoned docks."Silence.Oscar straightened."Good."He turned toward the exit."If you're lying..."He paused at the doorway."You already know what happens next."Without waiting for an answer, Oscar walked out.That night, he returned to the restaurant.Elizabeth immediately approached him."Well?""I got what I needed," Oscar replied."Who are they?""The Black Circle."Elizabeth frowned."I've never heard that name before."The two exchanged a glance."What if it's a new name?" Elizabeth muttered. "A cover?""Could be," Oscar said.An old enemy.The thought crossed his mind immediately. He already had a strong suspicion, but there wasn't enough proof yet. Until he knew for certain, he wasn't going to say it out loud.Eliz
