章節 85: Chapter 85: Facing the Reaper
The next few weeks were a whirlwind of activity. With Jaxon and Rina on board, the group's numbers continued to grow, and their training sessions became more intense. Every fighter knew what was at stake, and every punch, kick, and block was delivered with a renewed sense of purpose.
But as they trained, Cole couldn't shake the looming threat of The Reaper. He had heard more rumors—stories of fighters who had faced The Reaper and never returned to the ring. The name carried weight, and the fear it invoked was very real.
One evening, after an especially grueling training session, Cole sat alone in the warehouse, his body aching from the day's work. The others had gone home for the night, leaving him in the quiet, empty space. The only sound was the distant hum of the city outside.
Cole's thoughts drifted to The Reaper once again. Who was this fighter? What made him so different from the others the underground had sent after them?
As if sensing his thoughts, Lina appeared in the doorway, her footsteps soft as she approached him.
"You're thinking about The Reaper again, aren't you?" she asked, sitting beside him.
Cole sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I can't help it. We've been building something here—something real. But if this guy is as dangerous as everyone says, we might not be ready."
"We will be," Lina said firmly. "We've faced worse before."
Cole shook his head. "I'm not sure we have. The Reaper's not like the others. He doesn't just fight to win—he fights to break people."
Lina was silent for a moment, her eyes thoughtful. "Then we'll have to make sure he doesn't break us."
Cole appreciated her confidence, but the knot of uncertainty in his stomach remained. They were getting stronger, but the underground had been planning this for years. They had resources, connections, and fighters like The Reaper who could tip the balance in their favor.
But Cole wasn't going to back down. He had come too far to let fear get the best of him now.
"We'll keep pushing," he said finally. "We'll be ready for him."
Lina nodded, her expression serious. "We have to be."
The fight against the underground was far from over, and Cole knew that their biggest challenge was still ahead of them.
The Reaper was coming—and they would have to be stronger than ever to survive.
