BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 You Lost!
A few moments before the gong rang…
Scarred tiger looked at Jack who was standing in front of him and sneered as he looked at him. "It looks like you\'re so unlucky that the heavens said that you have to be punished by me. Now, here we are, are you going to surrender or do you want to make you do so?"
Scarred tiger looked at Jack before continuing, "But, I\'ll have to warn you, I\'m not that good at making others surrender as I may end up making you leave the ring with a few broken bones or….as a corpse."
Jack didn\'t know if he was supposed to laugh at this guy or not. But, he could at least get the gist of what was happening here.
Although scarred tiger was hired by Austin to make sure that Jack lost the match, he still wouldn\'t easily let go off of the chance to have a shot at the title as this month\'s champion.
Being a champion here had some benefits that could make people want to do their best to win the title. But, it wasn\'t easy to become a champion as almost every factor here favored the defending champion.
What Jack didn\'t know was that, the reason as to why they decided on this form of competition was because they wanted the top three to be the champions. These three were already loyal to the arena and so, there was no loss in giving them some benefits.
The benefits here were so big in that as long as these champions were given a taste of it, they would surely want to do all they could to maintain it.
On the other hand, there were situations like mad lion and vulture\'s. Theirs was that, they were in the same gang and had been fighting together since years ago. They had also been sparring with each other and as a result, they were familiar with each other.
As for the championship, they always made sure that they exchanged it between themselves so that each of them would get a share.
Today was the exception. The reason for the exception was that, they were facing Jack and he seemed to be a tough opponent. Between the two, mad lion was the strongest and had the highest chance of winning.
So, when Austin approached them, they agreed as that was still the same thing that they were going to do anyway.
Jack saw that this guy spoke too much nonsense and decided that he would simply end this match as fast as he could. There was no need for him to speak so much. He wanted to get his rewards and get out of this place to deal with other things.
If he got more cash, he would definitely make sure that Safety Enforcers expanded rapidly even if he had to purchase the other security companies. On the other hand, the grocery department only needed the supplies and the stores.
As he again reached this point in thinking, he remembered that there was someone that was trying to cause Celine some problems. So, if he could get back earlier, it won\'t hurt as well.
Jack was immersed in his thoughts in that, for a moment, he had forgotten that he was in a fight. And, the moment that scarred tiger saw that Jack didn\'t even seem to care about his presence, he immediately decided that he would kill Jack. At worse, he would make sure that he\'d crippled him.
Although Jack\'s strength in the preliminaries had showed him that Jack was strong, he still thought that he was stronger than him. So, he had already began fantasizing about how he was going to get rewarded after winning the match.
Gong!
The moment that the gong rang! Scarred tiger didn\'t care whether Jack was paying attention or not and launched himself forward, ready to strike.
His fist carried a lot of power as at this time, scarred tiger didn\'t dare to hold anything back. If he could end this without suffering any injuries, he would have a shot at winning the championship as he would only have to deal with mad lion. In the end, he would not only win the championship, but the rewards that had been promised to him by Austin would be a cream on the top.
Although Jack lost focus for a moment, with his current level, there was no way that he could fail to feel the approaching attack. His unfocused eyes immediately turned sharp as he looked at the approaching fist.
Not intending to dodge at all, Jack\'s right hand curled into a fist. Then, as soon as Scarred tiger\'s fist came before his face, Jack used his left hand to parry it to the side before throwing the right fist right towards scarred tiger\'s face.
Since he had planned on attacking his face, Jack would reciprocate. On the other hand, he would have so loved to beat this guy slowly but, when he thought about Celine, he suddenly changed his mind.
Seeing that his attack was easily parried away, scarred tiger was surprised. Then, he hurriedly tried retracting his hand but, the speed and force at which he launched himself forward didn\'t allow him to stop immediately.
So, he could only helplessly raise his other hand to try blocking Jack\'s other punch. But, his reaction speed was far slower than Jack\'s speed. As a result, Jack\'s fist connected with his left side of the face.
At this moment, scarred tiger felt like he\'d been hit by a truck. Although he always allowed others to hit him so that he could deal damage in return, this time, there was no chance in retaliating as the pain of having his jaw being dislocated as well as losing a few teeth was immense that it forced him to blackout.
The unconscious scarred tiger did a flip and fell face first on the ring. It wasn\'t much, with the speed at which he charged with towards Jack, plus having his body slightly elevated from the ground, it wasn\'t hard for the force behind Jack\'s punch to make him do a 270° flip.
The cheers that had just erupted with anticipation for a good fight immediately died down. No word could be spoken as they stared at Jack and scarred tiger in the ring without knowing how to react.
None of them had seen this coming. They knew that scarred tiger was a good fighter. And although Jack had shown good fighting prowess the previous day, they expected that the fight would surely last a few minutes before the winner was decided.
Now, they had just seen their expectations being overturned. Not to mention a minute, the fight had ended within five seconds. And, these five seconds were the ones that scarred tiger used to rush towards Jack and the time that he was being punched.
Jack had expected that such a situation would occur as it had already happened a few times before. With his current strength having been increased by four times that of an adult male, there was no doubt that he could easily deal with someone like scarred tiger easily.
He looked at the host who had his mouth agape and spoke, "Can the finals begin now, I\'m getting a little impatient."
Coming out of his daze, the host was a little incoherent before he caught what Jack was implying. He first shouted the results, "Scarred tiger has been knocked unconscious. So, there\'s no need to count to ten-"
Bam! Thud!
Before he finished, he simply heard the sound of something being hit before falling onto the ground like a sack of potatoes. Looking at the source of the sound, he found that scarred tiger had been kicked out of the ring.
He swallowed hard before continuing, "And the winner of this round is JK Silver! As for the finals, if it can continue right away or we\'ll have to wait for thirty minutes, that\'s going to depend on the opponent."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the crowd immediately began cheering. Of course, that only applied to those that had placed a bet on Jack or those that hadn\'t placed a bet at all.
Then the crowd began shouting for the fight to continue. They wanted to see what was going to happen when Jack faced mad lion and absolutely forgot that mad lion was supposed to be resting.
"Fight!" "Fight!"
"Fight!" "Fight!"
"Fight!" "Fight!"
"Fight!" "Fight!"
As soon as they began, the whole arena erupted with the spectators requesting for the fight to continue immediately. So, even though mad lion wanted to take a moment and analyze Jack\'s strength, for his reputation as a defending champion, there was no way that he could show any weakness.
So, he got to his feet and headed to the ring. The moment that he stepped forward, the cheers became even louder. Mad lion\'s appearance was the same as his agreement to the fight continuing immediately.
When he got onto the ring, Jack didn\'t speak a word and waited for five minutes for bets to be placed. Mad lion spoke no word as well as he simply focused his gaze on Jack, as if he was trying to find the secrets that were hiding inside Jack\'s body. Too bad that there was nothing that he could discover at all.
The moment that the gong rang, mad lion made the first move. Since his body wasn\'t bulky, his movements were fast. But, this time, Jack could see that his movements were clearly faster than when he was fighting against vulture.
It was obvious that he was going all out from the start. Jack didn\'t care much about it as he also moved forward to attack as well. His speed was far faster than mad lion\'s.
Mad lion who was charging forward crazily immediately felt that there was something wrong at this moment. But, it was too late to react.
With the two charging towards each other from opposite sides, they approached each other faster. Jack threw a punch. And since his movements were unexpected and he had used more than fifty percent of his full speed, mad lion had no chance of resisting at all.
Bang!
Mad lion was thrown backwards by the sheer force from Jack\'s fist. The moment that he landed onto the ground, he had already fallen unconscious.
There was silence dominating the whole arena for the second time of the night. The matches today….none of them went according to the expectations of others.
…..
In the VIP room, there was silence for a moment before a loud roar of laughter echoed and spread in the whole room.
Edwin held his stomach as he looked at the pale-faced Austin sitting not far from him. Then, after a moment, he sneered at Austin as he chuckled, "You made so many arrangements and schemes. In the end, you lost, you still lost after all the planning! Hehe, that\'s to be expected from a person like you who doesn\'t know his own limit."
