Chapter 264

There was a deafening silence in the private room a quiet so intense it could've shattered glass.

Shock had stolen every word from their tongues; the spectacle they'd just witnessed had left them stunned, breathless.

Moments ago, Shane stood tall as their hero, an idol of raw streng, strutting like a champion but now he lay sprawled on the floor, beaten and discarded like a mangy dog.

Every soul in the room jolted in shock.
