Chapter 174 – Ko

• Events move too fast for me to comprehend them all as I stand with Bruce Grant at my side, watching my mate fight for me, for our nation, for our pride against the enemy.
• And something is different in Luca now – it’s like he’s a new man, newly made. His fists move light lightning, and he dodges all of the Atalaxian’s stunned blows. The bigger man has no shot, because somehow – and I honestly don’t know how – it’s like Luca’s three steps ahead of him – like he already knows where the Atalaxian’s punches are going to land and has moved out of their way before he even thinks of it.
• Luca gets the Atalaxian on the ropes again and again, delivering blow after devastating blow as our crowd screams for him, chanting his name. The enemy does his best, but he’s soon on the defense, just doing his best to keep his hands up. But they slacken, and fall, and Luca lands a series of devastating, snapping blows that leave his face streaked with blood.
