Chapter 1605 Reward

• "Getting taken down by a newcomer really pushed Gabriel over the edge. He's been holed up in the kennel ever since, training like a madman and refusing to come out," Francisco's voice buzzed urgently over the phone. "Now the rest of the guys are acting like they've been shot full of adrenaline. No one's stepped out all day. It's absolutely insane."
• Skylar, however, only let out a calm chuckle. "Just as I expected."
• While Gabriel and the others had undergone the most brutal training over the past two months, Micah had been fighting underground black-market matches for years. His daily grind had been no less intense. On top of that, his father had also come from the underground boxing scene, which meant Micah had grown up with harsh, professional—often brutal—training. Compared to Gabriel and the others, his foundation was more solid, and his inner strength ran deeper. That was also why he could take a beating from Skylar and still stay on his feet.
