“She appears to be a pampered lady out of her element. Let’s not give her a reason to shed tears when she witnesses this scene later,” someone remarked, their tone filled with condescension.
The K Group, having clinched the boxing championship for three consecutive years, naturally drew more attention due to their past successes.
However, with their leader absent, anticipation for their potential embarrassment ran high among the spectators.
“Is the leader of the K Group afraid of losing face and hiding?” someone questioned, skepticism evident in their voice.
Another voice chimed in, “I suppose so. Even with the Mitchell family’s support, what good does it do?”
“I made the mistake of losing to them last year. I’ll just bide my time and see what happens this year,” yet another voice added.
The stadium screen reflected the expressions of the onlookers surrounding the boxing ring.
One individual, who had just spoken, gave the finger to the camera, further adding to the tension.
Standing behind Hannah, Winston provided some context, saying, “He’s a rising star in the underground fighting scene. He’s known as the Night Rider Mercenary Team’s most skilled and fearless combatant.”
Hannah gazed up at the man’s face on the large screen, but her expression remained neutral.
The annual boxing match followed the same rules each year, allowing bare-handed combatants to use any means necessary to defeat their opponents.
Additionally, when both sides agreed, one could take on multiple opponents simultaneously.

Bryson reclined casually and remarked, “That guy you just saw fought against 12 opponents in a row last year, only to be defeated by the K Group’s leader in the end. Needless to say, he harbors quite a grudge.”

Meanwhile, Remington stared intently at the two individuals sitting side by side on the computer screen, his face displaying solemn expression.
Rodrigo stood beside Remington, his eyes rolling as he voiced his frustration. “Mr. Lyons, I’ve been warning you about Hannah’s unreliability, haven’t I? You should have let me handle her when we disembarked from the ship, so she wouldn’t be turning to Bryson now!”

Remington, lost in thought, drummed his fingers on the table in response to Rodrigo’s words. He remained silent, his gaze fixed firmly on Hannah’s image displayed on the screen.
After a prolonged silence, he finally spoke, addressing Rodrigo.
“Tell Conor to see me as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Mr. Lyons,” Rodrigo acknowledged.
Meanwhile, in the Pierce Group’s office, Maloney and Wallace sat on a sofa, one on each side.
In front of them, a massive electronic screen displayed the live broadcast of the boxing match in the Blackeye Underground City.
When Hannah’s face appeared on the screen, it elicited a degree of surprise from both of them.
After their initial shock, Maloney raised an eyebrow and leaned in closer to Wallace, speaking in a hushed tone. “Didn’t Miss Moore go there for a business discussion on your behalf? Why is she in the boxing ring?”
