Chapter 246: The Winner

The crowd cheered so loudly that it was hard to hear, not caring at all about Cellan's situation.

Their attention was on Damon, the fighter who had done something amazing at the end.

Damon walked toward the referee, his steps steady but his mind still partly on Cellan.

The referee gave him a reassuring nod and took hold of his wrist, ready for the announcement.

The announcer stepped forward, microphone in hand, as medics carefully moved Cellan out of the cage.

Damon caught a glimpse of his opponent beginning to stir, a small movement that brought a measure of relief to his chest.

The people who were commenting, who were sitting close to the cage, added to the excitement.

"That's the sport right there," one of them said, leaning toward the microphone. "Cellan Gustalam pushed forward, but Damon Cross proved tonight that he's got the skills, the timing, and the composure to compete with the best."
