An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

The venue fell into stunned silence as all eyes were drawn to the injured and unconscious Jude. Nobody had anticipated this outcome.

Just seconds ago, Jude had been dominating the match. He relentlessly attacked Dalen and was on the verge of shattering his barrier to secure victory. But suddenly, he collapsed to the ground.

The sequence of events unfolded so quickly that the spectators barely had time to process what had happened.

“What just happened? Jude lost?”

“That was odd! What the heck happened a moment ago?”

“This match is full of surprises.”

After a brief moment of silence, the spectators erupted into an uproar.

Jude’s defeat was utterly unexpected. At first, he toyed with Dalen and underestimated him. However, his overconfidence allowed Dalen to seize the opportunity and deliver powerful blows.

Furious, Jude unleashed a fierce assault that left Dalen struggling to defend himself. But against all odds, Jude lost, and Dalen emerged as the surprising victor.

The sequence had so many twists and turns that it bewildered everyone.

“Wait, Mr. Shade actually won?” After a brief moment of shock, Ruby laughed excitedly. “Crystal, did you see that? He won. This is amazing.”

“He actually pulled it off?” Crystal’s eyes widened in disbelief at the outcome.
