Jack went into the room that was in charge of registration. There, Jack was registered for the competition. In that mont, Jack had seen a few more people coming to be registered for the fighting competition.
Imdiately after that, using the official betting platform officials present here, Jack and Austin placed their bets alongside their stakes.
Jack realized that the big bosses that had already arrived at the scene were those that wanted to look for talents to recruit or to make a deal with the fighters before the fights began. In this way, if the fighter that they chose won, they would surely benefit a lot.
At around 5.10 pm, Jack went to the waiting room. There, he waited alongside the other fighters for the fighting competition to begin. There were a few that were warming up by throwing punches at the punching bag or so were just punching the air.
Jack was currently dressed in a pair Nike miller t-shirt, Nike tight sports trousers as well as white Nike sports shoes. On his face, there was a silver mask that covered the upper part of his face.
That's what Jack had decided on. There were several tis that the fights were recorded and posted on the internet platforms. So, as a future boss, there was no way that he was going to allow people seeing him fight in such a shabby place, right?
There were several people that were eyeing Jack curiously. Although Jack wasn't the first person to wear a mask in the arena, there were only a few people that did that. Most of them had a background and had co here to experience the fights but they didn't want their identity to be exposed.
"Hey there. You wanna spar a little before the match starts?" A man without a shirt, a muscled body with several hideous scars on it spoke with a smile on his face.
He was eyeing Jack with disdain in his eyes. Jack could already see it as the other party didn't even try hiding it.
Jack wondered what he had done wrong for people to just target him one after the other. He couldn't help but twist his head as he tried looking at his back for any target that had been placed there.
Although he couldn't see his back well, but he was sure that there was nothing there. Then why is it that so people won't rest till they co to provoke ?
Seeing that Jack had ignored him, the man couldn't help but frown. He stared at Jack coldly as he asked, "Hey, I'm talking to you. Do you want to spar with or not?!"
This ti, his voice was quite forceful. It was as if he was coercing Jack to have a spar with him. At this mont, even a fool could already tell that this guy had co here with an intention of doing sothing.
Jack frowned as he looked at him. Then, he spoke coldly, "If you want a fight, then find in the ring and stop being annoying here."
The mont that scarred person heard this, he was imdiately angered. After all, he wasn't a newbie here in the arena. Most of the people here always gave him face and respect or feared him. Now, soone said that he was annoying.
"Who's this guy?"
"Who are you asking? Can't you see that he's wearing a mask?"
"Anyway, he has guts to talk to the scarred tiger like that."
"Do you think that he can defeat scarred tiger in the ring?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? Although scarred tiger wasn't the champion last month, he reached the semifinals."
"So what if he reached the semifinals? It's not like he was the champion."
"You talk too much. But, do you think that the silver mask there has a big background?"
"What background? If he had a good background, why is he here and not being given the special treatnt like mad lion?"
"Hey, mad lion was the champion for the past three months. Do you think such a person can compare to him?"
The conversation between several fighters fed Jack who had sharp senses with so pieces of information. It turned out that the person in front of him was in the top four in the previous month's competition.
So, that was why he was so arrogant, Jack finally understood. But, that didn't matter to him as even while he was seated in front of this so called scarred tiger, there was no sign of danger at all.
In other words, this person was far weaker than him in that, even if he sneaked an attack at Jack at this mont, Jack wouldn't be in any kind of danger that could threaten his life.
So, he completely ignored the person that was still looking smug the mont that he heard the comnts of praise from the other fighters.
He looked at Jack, wanting to see his current expression. But, the smug smile on his face disappeared the mont that he saw that Jack had completely ignored his presence.
He couldn't help it but stretch his hand to grab at Jack's mask while saying, "I want to see what face you're hiding behind that mask. I want to see what face of yours that can be so arrogant in front of ."
Pah!
Just as the hand was about to grab the mask from Jack's face, Jack raised his left hand and slapped the hand away.
Although he didn't use that much force, it had already made scarred tiger to stagger to the side.
Nobody saw how it happened. They only heard the sound of sothing being slapped but they didn't see the action. All they saw was Jack's body shaking a little before the sound accompanied by scarred tiger staggering sideways.
Scarred tiger was surprised that he'd been pushed to the side that easily. He was better than the other fighters that were present here and had only seen Jack raising his hand.
What followed was that, he felt his hand being knocked to the side by a powerful force. He could already tell from the force and speed of the attack at this ti that Jack was strong.
If he wasn't serious, there was no way that he could win the fight. But, fights were not allowed in the changing room. There were several caras here that were monitoring them.
If he dared to fight with Jack at this mont, he would be disqualified from participating in the competition and he would have to pay penalty fee. That was an amount that he couldn't afford.
The only way that the fights were allowed here was in the form of sparring. In this, that ant that both sides had agreed to this. Furthermore, the sparring session wouldn't be intense.
That was what he was aiming at. He could use the sparring session to injure Jack. In this way, he would fulfill the task that he'd been given.
But upon experiencing Jack's strength first hand, he decided to make sure that if he t with Jack in the ring, he would make sure to cripple him and kill him if possible.
With Jack's current strength and instincts, how could he not detect the faint killing intent that was pointed at him?
He frowned as his gaze turned cold. He gazed at scarred tiger with a frown on his face.
The mont that scarred tiger saw this, his heart skipped a beat. That was not only due to the surprise of the fact that Jack had detected his malicious intentions, but to the gaze that Jack had given him.
This gaze made him feel a chill running down his spine. He felt the temperatures around the two of them freezing, but surprisingly, sweat began appearing on his forehead and back.
It was only after Jack had retracted his gaze that scarred tiger regained himself. He looked at Jack and decided to make sure that he could kill Jack in the ring if they t.
He snorted as he left. "Humph! Let's et in the ring then."
Jack completely ignored him and decided to wait till the mont that the championship was going to begin.
The other fighters on the side could already see that Jack had fallen out with scarred tiger. They didn't know of they had to admire Jack for his courage or pity him for his stupidity.
Scarred tiger wasn't soone simple. He was soone with a strong backing. But, he himself was cruel to the opponents and himself.
In the ring, he sotis would let his opponents to attack him as he counterattacked with more force. The scars on his body were from the gang fights. After all, he was currently a mber of one of the gangster groups in the city, the Wilds Gang!

"Ladies and gentlen! Welco to July's UA's UC. For those of you who are here for the first ti, I will elaborate it to you. UA stands for where you are, Ultimate Arena. As for UC, that stands for the Ultimate Championship." At around five thirty, a man in a uniform that looked like that of a referee's went on the arena.
The arena where the fights took place was as big as a basketball court. It was just that it was a square and not rectangular.
It was raised by about a ter from the ground. It was currently well lit by the lights that ca from the ceilings of the underground arena.
The whole arena was a circle. Around the arena, there were seats that ford a major segnt. The seats were arranged just like how they would be in a stadium. The area that the minor segnt was, there was a room that had glass windows.
These were the special glass windows that allowed people inside to look outside but not vice versa. This was where the big bosses sat as they watched the matches.
The room was just above the changing room of the fighters. And, the only path that led to and from the ring was located below the VIP room.
"Tonight, we have a total of one hundred and eighty two fighters that have signed up for the fight! We're going to start the preliminaries a few minutes earlier than always due to a special request from one of the big bosses! So, let the championship officially begin!"
