Meanwhile, after leaving the Silverbane Residence, Emmanuel headed straight to the boxing arena for tonight’s match, where he met up with Mackenzie.

Seeing his expression, Emmanuel couldn’t help but feel tense, too. “What’s wrong?”

“They’re about to announce today’s qualifiers. Just a moment ago, two contestants were found ineligible and were disqualified immediately!
