The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 66

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

In the darkness, the person whose wrist was being grabbed by Brent was not startled but was actually pleased.

Jack frowned. Apart from the fighting cage which was brightly lit, the rest of the place was so dark that one can’t see his hand even it was held in front of him.

“Who are you?” Brent relaxed his hand as he was confident that the person will not do anything. He was equally confident of striking him down if he tried anything.

The man walked forward towards the lighted cage and revealed his centipede looking scar at the corner of his eye.

“Lone Wolf?!”

Jack was stunned and reacted, “Why did you sneak up on me just now?”

Jack held back his punches when he fought Lone Wolf the last time. At that time, he didn’t think that Lone Wolf would bear a grudge from his reactions but did he try to sucker punch him a moment ago?

“I, I just wanted to greet you.”

Lone Wolf felt awkward, “It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to call out to you when a competition was ongoing at Underground Fight Club.”

Jack rubbed his nose and laughed awkwardly. “You can call out to me when you’re nearer. By reaching out towards me in the dark, Brent would definitely think that you are up to no good.”

“I didn’t think it through carefully.” Lone Wolf laughed.

Jack found that the current behavior of Lone Wolf was very different from their fight in the cage. When they were in the cage, Lone Wolf gave him a feeling that he was bloodthirsty like a wild beast. He was much warmer and friendly now. Hence, he was conflicted.

Roar!

Loud shouts and cheers roared in the darkness of Underground Fight Club.

Jack was startled and turned towards the cage. The fight was at a white-hot stage. The bloody gore and cruelty brought the arena’s excitement to its climax. Every blow to the flesh and skillful violence easily conjured up a person’s wild instinct.

“Very soon we’ll know who the winner is.” Lone Wolf said calmly, “The opponent cannot match Hippo’s strength and body weight, we’ll know who the winner is within a minute.”

Being immersed at Underground Fight Club all year round, Lone Wolf was very professional and familiar with the fights and competitors.

Jack didn’t react to his comment. A fight can turn fatal at any moment at Underground Fight Club. It could not be compared to those regulated fights that were categorized based on weight.

But Brent suddenly asked Jack, “Master Hughes, what do you think?”

Jack was bewildered and then came to his senses. Brent was testing him. The Lone Wolf also frowned but remained silent. When he sneaked up to them, he was detected and stopped by Brent. With this simple encounter, he was clear that Brent’s skills far surpassed his.

In the darkness, the screams and shouts came in waves. While it was bloody in the cage and exceedingly violent.

The person who Lone Wolf called Hippo had already taken control of the situation and proceeded to break the left arm of the opponent. What alarmed Jack was that the small fighter continued to dodge swiftly even with a broken arm. He even used his right arm to counter-attack. It was obvious that he didn’t let his size disadvantage nor his injury get the better of him.

This captivated Jack’s attention.

The seconds ticked by. The crowd erupted along with the white-hot fight. Jack’s fixated on the fight and more accurately on the small fighter. Brent started to grin beside him.

Lone Wolf murmured, “Could he turn the fight around?”

As soon as he said, Jack suddenly spoke, “This small fighter’s footwork is rather strange.”

Lone Wolf was startled and quickly observed the footwork of the small fighter.

And Brent continued to question, “In what way is it strange?”

“The steps seem haphazard but yet organized. He seems to be able to dodge precarious situations.”
