An hour had passed since Gary had arrived, and although he had been busy going through things with production and then eting Daphne, there was a constant thought in the back of his mind: Where were the others?
Even if held up, the journey would take two hours, say three hours max. Sure, Gary had gotten to the arena faster than a typical car due to the shortcuts he could take himself, but he would expect Kai to arrive in the next hour or so unless there were other problems.
'Altered fighters can last a long ti; they have a large amount of energy as well. It’s not a simple five-minute fight or so like people have on the street, but all of those thoughts just worry more.'
"Shake off those thoughts, you were already distracted before all of this and we knew there was a chance of this happening," Daphne said. "You need to focus on him, the main event, especially if you want to save everyone."
Taking a deep breath, Gary started to focus, and with his focus he could hear the sounds coming from outside. The doors were being opened to the public; they were now filtering in.
The AFC events were one in a lifeti to watch, especially when Harvor was fighting. Various numberts of shows would be put on before even the first fight of the night; it was truly sothing that people could spend an entire afternoon and evening at.
Now the clock had struck 1 PM; people were starting to filter in for the first shows at 3, and eventually the first fight that would co at 6 PM.
A short while later, Allan had appeared in the room.
"Gary, you're up. It's your first interview of the night, and then after we want you to head to the press conference room just for a few photo shoots between you and Harvor before the big fight, so be ready."
Gary knew this was coming; it was on the schedule—a eting with Harvor before the big fight. He wondered if he could contain himself.

With the people entering the arena, there was a certain group which had their tickets checked. They were spread apart and eventually got to their seating areas. A man with black hair wearing a normal white shirt with a tracksuit jacket looked around the arena.
His eyes glanced at a few of the people in the arena and made note of everyone's positions.
"It looks like everyone has made it in smoothly," Chen, one of the top-ranking officials in the White Rose, confird. "Teams will scout the area and landscape to confirm it matches with the obtained blueprints.”
"We then have a few key objectives: the capture of the Zodiacs, the capture of Rumper Karn, and finally the capture of Harvor Ego. Agents must obtain as much information. When the fight starts with Harvor and Gary, everyone will move."
The agents in the crowd did several different signs, such as stretching both arms, scratching the top of their right eyebrow, and more. Every one of the agents had a different sign to make it harder for soone to track what was happening.
Still, every agent had confird loud and clear what they needed to do.

Elsewhere, in what seemingly looked like empty land—an abandoned partial farm in the hills—there was a certain group of individuals who were hidden in the greenery behind large trees and such.
Kanu was leading the group, and having seen the large tal shack, he turned around and headed back in deeper to the forest, until he saw three others: Elijah, Ice, and Austin.
"This is the sa location that was confird in the video," Kanu reported.
When their team was running investigations into the One Gang, they had raided almost all properties that belonged to Harvor, and that included the current warehouse they were at.
At the ti they found nothing, but just in case, Kanu had everything photographed, to rember what the inside of each area was. Having received the special video from Harvor declaring Xin as the grand prize, Kanu had analyzed the background.
He had noticed the strange ripped and rusted patterns on the back of the warehouse, and it had matched up to so of the photos that had been taken, leading them to this place.
They had been observing the place for a while, and Kanu had witnessed gang mbers move in and out.
It was already a big sign, considering the ti they were here before, the place was completely empty and didn't seem to be used in the slightest.
"So you're pretty sure Xin is in there, right?" Austin asked. "If that's the case, why don't we go in there now? If we rescue Xin and I send a ssage to Gary, I'm sure there's going to be a lot off his mind with that."
"Because there's a chance it can cause even more problems," Elijah said. "We don't know how heavily guarded she is, and there is still a lot of ti before the fight. If we go in now, Harvor himself could co here or call off the fight.”
"The important ti to act is when the fight between Gary and Harvor will start. There will be no disruptions then, and Gary knows this so he can have so peace of mind."

Finally, there was one more group on the move against the One Gang, and they were already inside the arena itself. A man was being pulled by the hair as they dragged him into one of the toilets.
Another man just outside of the toilets stayed on lookout.
Inside the toilets themselves, the man had picked up one of the n in the purple and white tracksuit and slamd him against the toilet stall door.
"Now I'm in a rush, you see, so I'm going to have to use so of my powers. Where is Rumper Karn?" Rickle asked, both of his eyes glowing red.
