The moment Damien Bloodbane stepped out, he heard it.
The unmistakable sound of fists meeting flesh.
He turned the corner just in time to see Harry slam Li Feng's head against a Sim Pod with a sickening crack.
"YOU LITTLE BACKSTABBING FUCKFACES!" Harry Shadowfang roared as he grabbed Li Feng's hair to pull him upright.
Li Feng staggered, barely able to react before Harry Shadowfang's next punch caved into his stomach like a battering ram. He wheezed and choked on air.
Kun Lun wasn't any luckier.
Harry Shadowfang grabbed him by the collar, lifted him off his feet, and slammed him into the ground so hard the floorboards rattled.
The surrounding crowd went wild.
"Holy shit! They're actually fighting in real life!"
"This is way better than the tournament!"
Damien Bloodbane strolled forward, his expression calm, but his presence made the air heavy.
The Aquafrost team, still inside their pods, were starting to realize something was very wrong.
