Chapter 11: Could I trust Yuna?

As I stepped out of the underground arena, the adrenaline still pumping through my veins from the fight, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness. I had been fighting in these illegal matches for the past two years, ever since I was betrayed by the police and left to take matters into my own hands. My goal was simple: take down the men who had hurt Emma, the love of my life. But as I stood there, victorious once again, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing.

That's when I saw her. A hooded figure standing at the edge of the crowd, her eyes locked on mine. I didn't need to see her face to know who it was. Yuna. My ex-girlfriend. The last time I saw her, she had begged me to let go of my quest for revenge, to move on from Emma's death. But I couldn't. Not until justice was served.

I walked towards her, my fists clenched. "What do you want, Yuna?" I growled.

She looked up at me, her eyes sad. "I want you to be safe, Jack," she said softly. "I know you're still looking for answers, but it's not worth risking your life over. It's time to let it go."

I shook my head. "I can't do that. Not until I know who killed Emma and why."

Yuna sighed. "I understand that, but I can't just stand by and watch you throw your life away. I can help you, Jack. I have connections, resources. I can help you find the answers you're looking for."

I hesitated. I had always been suspicious of Yuna's motives, especially after she revealed that she was an agent for a foreign government. But the offer of help was tempting. I needed all the help I could get to take down the powerful men who had hurt Emma.

"I'll think about it," I said gruffly.

Yuna nodded. "Just know that I'm here for you, Jack. I want to see you safe and happy."

With that, she turned and disappeared into the crowd. I stood there for a moment, my mind racing. Could I trust Yuna? Was it worth risking everything to find the truth about Emma's death? I didn't know the answers, but one thing was for sure: I couldn't give up now. Not when I was so close to the truth.
