“Boom!”
It sounded like a hammer hitting a stone, Derek’s elbows firmly struck Leo’s head.
Leo immediately pretended to be dazed after the blow.
Seeing this, Derek knew he had succeeded. Without further ado, he struck Leo’s chest fiercely with a move from the Taplesh Boxing.
This move was the famous “Reverse Elbow” of Taplesh Boxing, a technique widely used by Taplesh Boxing masters throughout history.
The key to using the reverse elbow technique is to seize the opportunity in real combat and suddenly strike with this move. If the enemy is negligent in defense, they will be hit.
The essence of the reverse elbow technique is to win by surprise.
Leo retreated under Derek’s fierce attack, seemingly dazed and unable to distinguish directions.
This sudden reversal made the entire boxing arena silent once again.
This scene was indeed somewhat unacceptable. Derek, who had just been knocked down by Leo, was now launching a fierce attack, and Leo seemed to have almost no strength to fight back.
Leo’s supporters’ faces gradually stiffened. They forgot to cheer for Leo.
In fact, it wasn’t that they forgot, but there was simply no need anymore.
The two men in the attic also had different expressions. The fat man’s face became increasingly ugly, tightly gripping his wine glass as if he wanted to crush it.
Ninja, on the other hand, was enjoying his cigar, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Seeing the opportunity ripe, Derek used a move called “Crococurve,” and Leo fell to the ground as expected.
“Crococurve” derives its name from the fierceness of crocodiles. When swung, it feels like a heavy blow, very lethal.
The backswing can be used to suddenly attack in a situation where the opponent is careless, catching them off guard.
The power of the backswing comes from the spinning momentum and the leg swinging backward, combining into a sharp force. The spinning and kicking actions must be completed in one breath for the leg strike to be effective.
Derek was obviously a master of this technique, using his leg force to its fullest.
Leo lay motionless on the platform, the entire boxing arena eerily quiet, almost as if you could hear a pin drop.
After a few seconds, a wave of crazy screams echoed throughout the underground boxing circle.
This opposite scene also puzzled the referee. After a few seconds of delay, he loudly counted, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5…”
“7, 8, 9, 10!” The host suddenly raised the volume, shouting, “Derek wins!”
“Oh!!!”
Derek’s supporters waved the betting tickets in their hands crazily.
Leo’s supporters, on the other hand, slammed their tickets to the ground, regret written all over their faces, as if it was they who were defeated, not Leo.
In the attic, when the referee counted to ten, the fat man suddenly slammed his fist on the table, his facial muscles trembling, obviously very angry.
Ninja, however, wore a smile on his face. “Kimson, don’t be upset. Victory and defeat are common in warfare.”
The fat man tried to control his emotions, forcing a smile. “Hehe, it’s nothing, it’s nothing. There’s no victory without defeat, right?”
Although he said so, he was cursing inwardly.
“Shall we have another round, with the boxer of your choice?” Ninja suggested.
“No, let’s focus on business. Riceland has already put pressure on me, they want the shipment to be delivered quickly.”
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The fat man was starting to regret.
This underground boxing circle was controlled by the Shalien Company. Who knows what tricks were involved? Perhaps the guy who lost was also one of their men. It was a mistake!
He could only admit defeat in this gambling match. After all, this was someone else’s turf.
“Don’t worry about that. Within three days, I will assist you in getting the shipment out of Taplesh. How about that?” Ninja assured.
The fat man nodded. “The sooner, the better. Give me a specific time, please. The longer the night lasts, the more dreams there will be. We can’t delay this any longer.”
Ninja thought for a moment and said, “How about Saturday? What do you think?”
“Okay!” The fat man nodded. “Then I’ll take my leave.”
“I won’t see you off.”
Watching the fat man leave, a cold smile flashed in Ninja’s eyes. He said to the bodyguard, “Bring that guy named Leo to see me.”
The crazy shouts continued to echo throughout the underground boxing circle. At this moment, no one paid any attention to Leo.
The underground boxing circle was so cruel. One moment, you could be enjoying the cheers of the crowd and have plenty of cash, but the next moment, you could lose everything.
Derek was excited, raising his hands high and shouting loudly. He enjoyed this feeling very much.
Leo had already been helped down from the ring by two men in black.
Leo broke free from their support and walked towards the lounge as if nothing had happened.
The two men who had helped him looked at each other in confusion.
They didn’t understand how the person who couldn’t stand up after being heavily injured a moment ago suddenly seemed fine?
After exchanging glances, they returned to their respective positions.
Just as Leo reached the entrance of the lounge, a man wearing sunglasses walked towards him.
The man approached and threw out a sentence, “Follow me.”
Leo remained expressionless and followed behind him.
The man led him towards the bar.
As they approached, Leo noticed a staircase on the left side of the bar, seemingly leading upstairs.
The man turned to look at Leo and motioned for him to follow.
The staircase was narrow but not long. Soon, they reached the second floor, where there were no more stairs leading upwards.
The main body of the underground boxing circle was downstairs, and this upstairs area was actually used by the managers of the boxing world.
The man led Leo to a door and said, “Go in.”
With that, he turned and left.
Leo knocked on the door.
“Come in.” A somewhat hoarse voice came from inside.
Leo pushed open the door and walked in.
Inside, a somewhat slender man sat on the sofa. If there was one distinctive feature about this man, it would be his eyes.
The man’s eyes exuded a fierce aura even in the shadows.
These were eyes that once seen, one would never forget, at least Leo wouldn’t.
The slender man was naturally Ninja. He sat on the sofa, with two men standing behind him, their eyes shining brightly.
Ninja saw Leo, and a smile appeared on his face, which had been expressionless until then. “Come in and sit down.”
Leo walked over and sat down on a nearby armchair.
A cunning light flashed in Ninja’s eyes. “You really scared me earlier.”
“Since it’s a performance, it has to look convincing, right?” Leo replied with a half-smile.
“Haha, well said! I suppose you’ve already guessed who I am. I am the head of the Shalien Company, Ninja!”
