62 Harvest: Gage’s Leg-Cutting Skills, Masquerade?

Catwoman, filming amidst the beauty of Haolaiwu, took a break to watch the live broadcast of Ye Chen and Gage's match.

She was completely absorbed, her nervous energy palpable on the set. A few concerned crew members approached her, asking if everything was okay. Yet, as she watched Ye Chen gain the upper hand, her tension transformed into delight, laughter escaping her lips.

"Am I really getting swept up in this drama?" she thought to herself. She muttered quietly, "I'll be messaging you later to complain. You shouldn't have to fight like this... I just hope my legs manage!"

This wasn't the first time Ye Chen had raised his knees in defense, but Gage's swift low sweep came out of nowhere. Ye Chen's attempt to block had been ineffective; timing and a bit of luck were crucial in this kind of exchange.

In this risky game of injuries, Ye Chen won. While Gage's kick was meant to hurt him, it barely affected Ye Chen. But from Gage's pained reaction, it was clear he had hurt his leg.

The atmosphere crackled with excitement. Even the three commentators momentarily forgot their roles, standing on their toes to get a better view of the action. Ye Chen looked unstoppable in that moment.

He relentlessly pressed forward with a flurry of punches, culminating in a massive swing that sent Gage sprawling.

Panicking, Gage felt disoriented. He had no strategies left—only the desperate thought of not wanting to lose. He instinctively hugged Ye Chen, trying to smother his opponent's offense, but Ye Chen wasn't having it.

With a swift motion, Ye Chen released himself from Gage's grasp, swung his left fist, and delivered a crushing blow to Gage's jaw, sending his mouthguard flying.

The force of the punch sent sweat and blood flying, splattering onto Ye Chen's arms and body. A hushed silence fell over the crowd as Gage collapsed to the mat with a heavy thud.

Ye Chen regarded Gage, who lay there with vacant eyes, barely moving and making no attempt to defend himself. This was the first time Ye Chen was uncertain if he had achieved a knockout; Gage seemed tougher than he looked.

Not wanting to escalate the situation further, Ye Chen glanced at He Bo for guidance. "Should I go after him?" he wondered.

He Bo immediately stepped in to check on Gage, and the referee called for a stop. With just 2 minutes and 7 seconds left in the first round, Gage was declared knocked out.

In total, the fight had gone on for just two minutes and fifty-three seconds.

As He Bo knelt beside Gage, the crowd erupted into chants of "Terminator! Terminator! Terminator!"

The excitement was palpable. For the first time, the three commentators were speechless, mesmerized by how quickly and decisively the match had ended. Nobody had expected Gage, the powerful contender, to be so thoroughly beaten in the first round.

Ye Chen surged toward the cage, hoisting himself up to celebrate, radiating an aura of triumph.

Back in the domestic live broadcast rooms, pandemonium ensued. Two commentators shouted with excitement, each wishing they could jump into the ring themselves to mimic Ye Chen's performance. The chat was flooded with supportive messages, as fans across the globe cheered for him, turning this night into an unforgettable experience for fight enthusiasts.

Catwoman, on set, jumped out of her chair, grateful the dressing room was empty.

"You did it! I knew you could win!" she exclaimed to herself, ready to send Ye Chen a congratulatory message.

Just then, her friend Lisa video-called her. "What's with the smile? Aren't you working?"

Catwoman, still grinning, replied, "You know I'm busy! So, what's going on?"

Lisa smiled slyly, "Remember my birthday? I'm throwing a masquerade party this time, and a ton of eligible guys will be there. Interested?"

Catwoman scoffed; Lisa came from a wealthy family and always threw extravagant parties. But the thrill was tempting.

"Don't say no yet! Everyone will be masked, so you won't be recognized. Can you invite your co-star Dan Steven? He's so dreamy!"

"Masked?" Catwoman's eyes glinted as she caught a glimpse of Ye Chen celebrating on the tablet nearby.

"Anyone can come?" she asked eagerly.

"Absolutely! Just remember—you can't reveal your identity, or the guys will swamp you!" Lisa chuckled, recalling how Catwoman had stolen the spotlight at last year's party.

"Fine, I'll come!" Catwoman replied without hesitation.

After hanging up, she immediately opened her chat with Ye Chen, excitement bubbling within her.
