Chapter 350 Threat
Here in the underground boxing arena, life is cheap. Every fighter who steps into the ring signs a voluntary death waiver.
This hidden world is a brutal carnival, a dark industry that connects elites from across the globe.
The top prizes offered in these matches come directly from those powerful figures who set the rules. They're the ones pulling the strings.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Melody and Spencer had already claimed a VIP viewing box. Nolan swaggered in, flashing a grin at Melody as he teased, "Ms. Tucker, still remember me?"
Melody cast him a cool glance.
Nolan was the youngest son of the Johnston family, a politically connected clan with some very influential members. Among his brothers, Nolan was comparatively average in standing. ""You're Spencer's friend, Nolan Johnston."
"Mr. Johnston, I hear you've been quite successful, managing oil trades between Aventras and our country. Congratulations."
Inwardly, Melody thought, For someone so successful, it seems a bit beneath you to work as a design consultant for YM Cosmetics' new factory. But I'll be watching-you better behave.
"Ah... please, call me Nolan. I'm just dabbling, all thanks to Mr. Spencer's help," he said hurriedly, trying to show his sincerity and assure Melody he wasn't up to anything shady-he genuinely saw her as family, no need for formalities.
Satisfied, Melody nodded, indicating he could take a seat.
Spencer was already sprawled out on the leather sofa, lazily watching Melody set Nolan straight. When Nolan finally conceded, Spencer's brows lifted smugly, his expression teasing, like he was saying, See that? She put you in your place. But she'd never talk to me that way.
"Alright, just remember not to go overboard tonight," Melody advised.
"I've scoped things out. Tonight's just the preliminary matches; nothing too interesting. We'll soon see which fighters pose a threat to you."
"Let's start with the domestic fighters. Last year's runner-up in the International Underground Boxing Tournament, Gabriel, is a serious threat."
"I looked him up on the Dark Web. He's an aggressive, explosive-type fighter with limited endurance. The best strategy to beat him is to wear him out, dragging the match as long as possible."
"Besides Gabriel, here's another key one: Jake Finn. He's been groomed by Somerville big shot Robson Finn as a lethal fighter."
"With Jake, Robson's won plenty of underground tournaments, and his influence in Somerville's underworld is massive. I looked into his background; a few years back, Robson's only daughter fell ill with a strange condition, eventually becoming comatose. She was diagnosed as brain-dead, and the family even suggested euthanasia, but Robson refused...."
"Just like us, he's also after the Veinspire Codex. He's a major threat."
Melody paused, and moved for a moment. Robson was also fighting for a loved one-they weren't so different after all. Spencer looked up and added. "There's one more threat
"Mel, his name is Carnel, but he's known as Collin. He's the captain of the host's pro boxing team, and he's killed over 100 opponents in underground matches..."
Melody's brows knitted in surprise at the mention. She hadn't expected Spencer to single him out.
From her professional perspective, Camel's record wasn't impressive, even bordering on mediocre. Fighters like him, so called boxing team captains, were a dime a dozen in these international tournaments.

Then Nolan chimed in.
"Madam Moore, this is the guy-four years ago, he drove a nail into Mr. Spencer's knee, nearly crippling him for life ..."
"Madam Moore, this time, we have to finish him!"
Spencer's expression held a touch of grievance, but his eyes glinted with the thought of the past, knowing now that he'd misunderstood Melody back then. That matter was water under the bridge. But with Collin? That score, he would settle himself.
Just hearing how that man had driven a nail into Spencer's knee sent a chill through Melody, and a fierce anger flared up inside her.
"Spence, why didn't you tell me you were hurt?"
