Jack Vs Lucas.

Chapter 74:

The forest stood silent under a veil of morning mist.

Dew clung to the leaves, glistening under soft rays of light that filtered through the canopy.

Birds chirped distantly, and a soft breeze rustled the tall grass, but in one part of the forest—a clearing marked by cracked earth and broken trunks—there was only tension.

Jack stood at the center of this training ground, his tall frame relaxed but alert.

Around him, faint traces of Ki flickered like embers around a fire, reacting to his presence.

The atmosphere, despite the beauty of the woods, was heavy with anticipation.

Across from him stood Lucas slightly shorter, leaner, but equally focused.

His breathing was measured, but his eyes betrayed a cocktail of excitement and nerves.

This was more than a sparring match to him.

A chance to stand against someone who was the strongest in the gang… and someone who he feared.
