Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Rivalry

Monday - 13th February 2027(a year later)

In the gym, the trainees were not training. Instead, half of the place was gathered around an octagon cage, looking with excitement.

Some people were saying, "You think he can defeat him now?" Others were nodding in agreement, while a few were shaking their heads in doubt.

One person said, "I mean, it's a no-brainer. Look at the size of him." They gestured towards the figure standing confidently outside the cage, his muscles rippling beneath his skin.

Despite the impressive physique, someone else chimed in, "I heard he's been so close to defeating his Muay Thai coach." This sparked a flurry of interested glances and whispered comments.

The gym's usual sounds of grunting, punching, and kicking were replaced by the sound of eager chatter and speculation.

Inside the cage, Damon stood tall, his messy hair almost covering his face.
