The American, Owen, was tall and burly, radiating hostility. Having won all three of his previous matches, he was second only to the Korean Li Jishao in popularity. Given his current momentum, making it to the second round wasn't going to be a problem.
Ah Yi, on the other hand, had lost two of his previous three fights and won one, ranking beyond fifth place. His situation was precarious.
If Ah Yi wanted to advance, he had to defeat several strong opponents in his upcoming matches. His battle with Owen was pivotal; a victory would greatly increase his chances of moving forward, but a loss could mean his complete downfall!
Now, the situation for the underworld's enforcers in the three territories was dire. With Ah Yi's rise in his last battle, he now carried the hopes of many.
Before the start of the fourth round, everyone was shouting "Ah Yi's" name, hoping he could prevail.
