Winner Takes All

Jack was startled. He looked at Lone Wolf in surprise and didn’t know how to reply.

Lone Wolf lowered his head sincerely, “Mister, please allow me to serve you.”

Jack smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders, “I’m here to accumulate fighting experiences, not to recruit men.”

He didn’t want to ask in-depth about Lone Wolf’s identity. But before he first came to Underground Fight Club, Brent already told him about the details of this place.

At the Underground Fight Club, there was a portion of participants who like Jack, were there to learn, improve their skills, and accumulate their fighting experiences. The other portion of participants were shady and could only make a living at Underground Fight Club for their fights. At that time, he even asked Brent which portion of participants was the majority. Brent’s answer left a deep impression on him.

At that moment, Brent smiled and spoke eloquently, “Master Hughes, how many legitimate fighters lack money?”

With that said, Jack could guess the background of Lone Wolf. He didn’t want to be tainted by the underworld.

“Why?” Lone Wolf was bewildered. “I can serve you without a salary as long as I won’t go hungry. I will be loyal only to you.”

Jack shrugged his shoulders and his smile widened under the mask. He no longer needed to guess about Lone Wolf’s background.

“I’m sorry, I’m only here to increase my fighting abilities. I’ve not thought about other aspects.”

Jack said openly, “The fight that we had, I was doing it for the experience and didn’t need to hurt you. You don’t have to think too much into it.”

Brent came back and said, “Master Hughes, it had been arranged. You’re in the third fight.”

Jack nodded and stood quietly to one side. Lone Wolf, however, remained in position and in doubt. He had already lowered his requirements and to his astonishment, Jack still rejected him.

He knew that he had a past. For him to be able to remain at the Underground Fight Club for such a long time and to maintain a high winning percentage, he had already built up a decent reputation in that field. Several wealthy men in the city had even offered to hire him as their bodyguard only to be rejected by him.

One reason why he chose Jack was that Jack pulled his punches during their fight. The second reason was whether it was Jack or Brent, he felt that they were extraordinary. They were vastly different from the wealthy men who tried to hire him! That was why he was willing to take a gamble and do it without a salary.
