The atmosphere in the arena is electric as the day of Jack's next match arrives. The stands are packed with fans waving flags and chanting, the bright lights illuminating the octagonal cage where Jack and Aiden are set to fight. Despite the cheers, Jack feels a tightening knot in his stomach. He knows the stakes are higher than ever, with rumors swirling around Aiden's potential connections to the League's organizers and the underground betting scene. The pressure feels suffocating.
As they step into the cage, Jack glances at Aiden, who appears overly relaxed, almost cocky. The referee signals the start of the match, and they launch into action. Initially, they work together, landing a few clean hits against their opponents. However, it quickly becomes evident that Aiden is not entirely focused. He makes careless mistakes, leaving gaps in their defense and missing opportunities to capitalize on their opponent's weaknesses.
