Finished uncuffing his sleeves, Kael proudly got inside the ring.
The spectators bustled with whispers about Max's defeat.
Clenching his right arm, Ethan stared dazedly at Max's figure, forgotten by the crowd since he had let down their expectations.
"His reaction speed… he's a monster," Ethan whispered, unheard by anyone because of the noise. His anger and misgivings towards Max instantly dissipated.
With no choice, he turned and walked away.
Inside the ring—
Bathing in the attention and praise, Kael signaled with his fist for the spectating Elites to quiet down. Then he pointed a finger at Max, a cocky smirk taking place on his face.
"Since you're so straight and given… I'll give you a chance."
Surprised exclamations erupted within the crowd. Everyone couldn't believe it and tried to.
