Zeke was tall, young, and lean. Although he had some muscles, he was far from being a hunk.
As a matter of fact, his body size was worlds apart from Boxing King's. Everyone present was wondering how Zeke was able to fight a strong man like Boxing King.
It was then that they let out sighs of relief, glad that they had placed their bets on Boxing King.
At the same time, Sasha was looking at Zeke with wide eyes. “A-Are you really Zeke? Tell me that this isn't real. You're lying, right?”
Zeke replied, “I am Zeke Williams. What's the matter?”
Sasha hastily uttered, “Is it too late for me to change my bet? I'd like to put my one hundred thousand on Mr. Boxing King instead.”
“Sorry, can't do,” the person by the table rejected instantly.
Zeke was left speechless by her response.
This woman... What does she mean by that?
After the rejection, a desolated expression emerged on Sasha's face. “My one hundred thousand has gone down the drain. You... You must compensate me for it!”
“Why are you so sure that I'm going to lose?” Zeke questioned.
Sasha replied, “Where did you get such courage to say something like that? Look at your thin arms and legs. You probably have fewer muscles than me! In fact, you might not even win me in a fight.”
By then, Zeke's expression was darker than night.
As the famous Great Marshal, he was despised by a woman. It was humiliating.
Zeke could not stand their words any longer.
However, Sasha continued, “I don't care. If you lose, you'll have to fork out a hundred thousand to compensate me!”
Zeke huffed, “Have some guts to admit defeat when you lose. Why do I have to compensate you?”
“It's because you've let me down. Good enough of a reason for you?” Sasha spat.
To her surprise, Zeke agreed to it. “Sure. I can do that. However, what happens if I win?”
Without missing a beat, Sasha replied, “If you win, not only will I give you all the profit I've earned, but I'll even stay with you for one night. How about that?”
“Deal!” came Zeke's swift answer.
Right then, another commotion broke out. The people who stood the furthest away from them were the ones shouting and yelling.
One cried out, “Look! Isn't that Mr. Boxing King?”
“It really is Mr. Boxing King!”
“Oh my god, oh my god, I've finally seen Mr. Boxing King's face with my own eyes! I'll bear no regrets even if I die right now!”
The crowd worked themselves into a frenzy at the mention of Boxing King.
Then, they opened up a path for Boxing King and watched with admiration as Boxing King walked past them.
Zeke turned toward the source of the noise as well.
He then saw a group of martial artists walking toward the gym.
If my guess is right, the one leading the others should be Boxing King. He commands attention to him, and he's well-built. Moreover, I can sense the energy in him. In other words, he's a warrior who uses energy!
Indeed, among the ordinary people, Boxing King would be a remarkable fighter.
However, he was but a mere ant in the face of Zeke Williams.
The menacing aura Boxing King had was so overwhelming that the people could barely breathe. They could not help but take steps back and move away from him.
When Boxing King came near to Zeke, their eyes met.
Boxing King then gave Zeke a once-over.
Nothing unique about him. The most average of the average people. An ordinary way of carrying himself. He's also neither too fit nor too weak. In other words, he's a normal guy. He's the plainest person out here, and him being here or not doesn't change anything.
Boxing King then swiftly walked to Zeke's side.
When he came to a stop, the hearts of the people around them lurched.
What kind of scene will we witness when a king meets another king?
However, Boxing King only swept his gaze past Zeke's face before asking Thomas, “He's the opponent you've found for me?”
Thomas nodded. “Indeed, Mr. Boxing King.”
Boxing King then sighed before walking past Zeke and entering the building.
That was a sigh of disappointment, and that was Boxing King's comment for Zeke.
Yet, what Boxing King did not know was that Zeke seemed plain because he had hidden his dominating presence.
If he had not done so, he would have frightened Amelia and everyone at the scene.
