บท 27: The Turning Point

Standing from the ground with an unstable foot, Jason couldn't stand on his feet since he has taken a hell of a beating, and seeing him not giving up even when he knew he could not beat his opponent enrage Todd as he is trying his best not to kill him.

"Why can't you just forfeit the match and go get some treatment" said Todd angrily as he couldn't take it anymore.

"How can I give up when this is my only opportunity to be able to provide for my family. So if you are looking for someone to give up them I think you should give up the fight if you think you can't fight anymore" reply Jason as he wipes the blood from his mouth.

"You are seeking death and I don't mind helping you with that if you refuse to give up" said Todd.

"Then you better do that now cause I'm not giving up this fight even if I was to lose my life" reply Jason in determination.

"Very well, don't blame me for what is about to happen to you since you refuse to surrender" said Todd as he moved towards Jason at an incredible speed while hardening his body with his spiritual energy.

"Oh he is going to get it this time for getting Todd mad" said Denise who couldn't hide the creepy smile on his face.

After coming in close distance to Jason, instead of punching at Jason all he did was smash the ground and it begins to sink in with Jason being blown away by the force of the attack and was almost blown out of the arena as he lay on the ground while breathing heavily.

"That's it, kid, just a little more and he will be out of energy. All you have to do now is try and hold on a little longer and this fight will be your win" said the bracelet.

"I know and I can feel it that he won't be able to throw more than four blows but his attack is packed with power" reply Jason to the bracelet as he got up from the ground while placing his hand on the knees as he tries to catch his breath.

Seeing that Jason was still refusing to give up, Todd let out an angry roar as he dashes forward while punching Jason with everything he had as he yelled.

"Just let go of your ego and give up will you".

The crowd was feeling pity for him as they saw the way he was being beaten while others like Andrew and his gang were smiling in joy as they watch Jason being hammered.

"Boss that kid won't be able to walk for a month or two after this fight" said Denise with a happy expression on his face.

"You are right, I wonder why he still hasn't given up on the fight" reply Andrew.

Hannah was in tears when she saw her big brother being punched in the face like a punching bag and was just about to run out of the stage when she heard the sound of the hit coming to a stop with the crowd been quiet. Turning to the arena to see what is happening only to see Todd's hand hold in place by Jason and a wide smile replaced her sad face as she went back to her seat in hurry.

"Mother did you see that, big brother can still fight" said Hannah after taking her sit and focus her gaze on the stage.

"Didn't I told you earlier that your big brother is not weak to give up that easily" replied Clara with a smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Andrew and his gang were having a change of expression on their face when they saw this.

"I thought he won't have energy left to take another hit from Todd so how did he do it" said Denise in surprise.

"That is nothing, I don't believe he will be able to beat Todd after taking so much beating from him" reply Andrew who refuses to believe that Jason still has a fighting chance.

In the arena, Todd was more shocked than the crowd since he is the one that has been dealing out the blows so he knew the amount of damage he has cost Jason but now he was able to hold his fist in place to stop his attack from reaching him.

"Don't you think you have had enough fun for the day" said Jason with a smile on his face.

"How come you still have enough energy left in you" asked Todd.

"That will be my little secret and now that you have enough, I think it is my turn to play" said Jason as he pushed Todd off him before standing up.

"Alright kid, since he has been enjoying himself earlier, why don't you add more spice to the fun" said the bracelet happily.

"I am not an ungrateful person so I will just end this fight as quick as possible and go for treatment before I lose my life" reply Jason.

Todd was very angry that he couldn't beat Jason and now he look weak before him. Pulling out a dagger from his robe, Todd let out a roar as he said.

"If you really think that I will lose to you, then you must be joking".

"I think this match is getting too far, with Todd being driven by his anger, that kid might lose his light" said someone from the crowd.

"Do you still want to fight even when you know too well that you don't have the chance of winning this round" asked Jason as he looked at Todd.

Todd chooses to ignore him as he dashes forward with the dagger in hand and was just about to stab the dagger at Jason but before he could move his hand, a fist has already landed in his stomach and he threw up a mouthful of blood before falling unconscious.

"And that concludes the end of my match" said Jason with a smile on his face as he sat on the ground while the elder came in to check on Todd's condition before declaring Jason the winner.
