With a swift flick of his wrist, a delicate but sharp dagger had appeared in Nathan's hands. It was Snow sphere.
He placed it on the table and said casually, "Since Mr. Leeroy is in high spirits, I don't want to be the one to spoil your mood."
Nathan was accepting the bet!
Unable to conceal the glee in his eyes, Lucifer laughed, "You're a man of charm. I like that. Very well. We'll bet with our weapons. I'll be betting on Craig, and you on Hogan. Is that fine?"
Nathan nodded.
In the next second, Nathan looked at Hogan and asked calmly, "Hogan, do you recognize me?"
Hogan gave Nathan a salute instantly as he exclaimed, "I have never regretted entering the North. It has been the honor of a lifetime for me to be your soldier. How can I possibly not recognize you, General?"
Nathan continued, "Since you remember who you are, I'll ask you one question. Are you confident in winning this fight against him?"
The 'him' in question was the other death row inmate, Craig.
Hogan turned to look at Craig, who was over six-foot-five. He was taller than him by quite a bit, and at least two times bulkier than him.
Moreover, Craig was a man who was stable on his feet. He exuded a vigorous aura, and there was a glint in his eyes. It was evident that he was a trained fighter.
Hogan gritted out, "I will beat him."
Nathan nodded. "Very well. I will look forward to the fight. I hope you won't disappoint the North Army and me."
Soon, the fight between Hogan and Craig began.
Orlando said to the two inmates, "You're only allowed to fight within this circle of 50 square meters. Whoever takes a step out of the circle or falls to the ground without climbing back up will lose the fight. The winner will live, and the loser will die. If you have no problems with the rules, the fight will begin now."
Both nodded, and Orlando announced the start of the fight.
Like two ferocious beasts, Craig and Hogan charged toward each other and attacked with a flurry of kicks and punches.
Hogan was swift in his blows and fierce like a wolf, but despite his sturdier build, Craig was as quick as Hogan. In fact, his speed and strength were way above his opponent.
It was difficult for a wolf to win against a tiger.
Soon, Hogan landed a punch on Craig's face and made him bleed in the corner of his mouth.
