Chapter 402 Order

At the critical moment, Jake hesitated. His planned strike, poised to seal his victory, froze in midair, and his chance slipped away.

Melody didn't miss a beat. She spun around, delivering a sharp left hook that landed squarely. In a match this fierce, the smallest hesitation could cost everything. Jake's pause ensured his defeat. The instant he faltered, his fate was sealed.

As Melody pulled back, she recognized his intended move for what it was not a proper boxing technique, but a maneuver from Blaze Combat.

A surge of anger rose within her, sharp and unyielding.

Without giving him a moment to recover, she launched into a relentless barrage. Her fists struck with precision, forcing Jake back step by step until he could retreat no further. Finally, he fell, pinned under the sheer force of her attack.

The crowd seemed to release a collective sigh of relief. For a moment, it had felt as if the outcome might slip through their grasp.

Victory had been precariously close to slipping away. A single misstep, and everything Melody had fought for everything Cleussau stood for-could have crumbled.

Even in a city as bustling as Cleussau's capital, this match had drawn a unique crowd. The heirs from Sommerville might have been plentiful, but they weren't the only ones watching.

When figures from the Ironspire Sect, Silverpeak Sect, and Elysian Sect took their seats, it was clear this was no ordinary event. Eyes from the highest levels of power were fixed on the ring. Few had expected the leadership to place such responsibility on Melody's shoulders. Yet here she stood, fighting not just for herself but for her country's honor.

Gregoria's dominance in underground boxing had bred resentment for years. Their unchecked arrogance, cloaked in diplomatic ambiguity, had gone unchallenged for far too long.

Openly addressing it would have been undignified, but here, in this shadowed arena, the rules shifted.
