The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 69

The deafening roars and shouts thundered.

The intense lights were blinding.

Death was waiting.

Yet at this moment, Jack felt a kind of peace that he had never experienced before. He didn’t grow up in a pleasant environment. The things that he had experienced far exceeded that of others.

Death only took a moment. But to live in despair was long and agonizing. It was natural to fear death. But anyone who had lived through despair would have the courage to face death.

“That’s impossible, why is it like that? He shouldn’t be in this state…”

Devil’s heart sank. He habitually pushes his opponents to a desperate state and then he will finish him off with a blow to exert his superiority over his opponent. But now Jack’s reaction was beyond his expectations.

Swish!

His right hand flicked and the cold dagger sprung from his ring.

“Die!” Devil yelled as he clenched his jaws and rushed towards Jack.

Previously, he would at least conceal the dagger during his attacks but now, he totally exposed it under the intense lights and everyone could see it.

“You’ve lost it.” Jack smiled. The soft murmur seemed to explode in Devil’s ears causing him to lose his concentration.

Jack moved suddenly. In a twist, he swiftly dodged the dagger. His right hand chopped directly onto Devil’s throat. A blunt ‘thump’, followed by the low agonizing groan of Devil.

Kaboom! Devil collapsed onto the ground!

The deafening shouts and cheers suddenly went quiet in the darkness.

All eyes fell onto Jack.

“Hmph…” Jack heaved a sigh and walked towards the door of the cage without looking at Devil. Even if the swift hand chop to the throat didn’t kill Devil, he wasn’t far from death.

Clank clank…

The rattling of the cage door woke the dazed umpire. He hastily opened the door and Jack walked out of the cage slowly.

His right hand held onto his left arm and walked towards Brent and then raised his middle finger, “Fuck you!”

Before he entered the cage, Brent agreed to intervene if he noticed something amiss but from beginning to the end, Brent only watched from one side.

Did he set me up? Jack thought.

Brent smiled, “Master Hughes, you’ve advanced rapidly.”

“Let’s go to the hospital,” Jack said helplessly.

Lone Wolf regained his composure after the two of them left. He turned around to look at the two of them disappearing into the darkness and he clenched his fists tightly. His eyes lit up with determination.

A few seconds later, the dead silent Underground Fight Club started to boil over.

“Damn it… how could it be like the last fight? Who the hell is he?”

“God, I’ve lost another hundred thousand!”

“He clearly was about to die, how could he reverse the situation?”

…

The commotion almost rattled off Underground Fight Club’s roof. The anger was intense.

Most of the spectators were unaware that above them was a row of VIP rooms. There were only a few VIP rooms and reserved for the rich and famous of the city. That was why Lone Wolf was approached by those wealthy men to hire him as their bodyguard.

One of the VIP room was dimly lit. One person stood quietly at the huge single panel window. He looked towards the exit of the arena and remarked happily.

“I didn’t expect you to be so talented…”
