When Gabriel reached the Club, Joey came to him and started to talk a lot.

"So what happened to you and her? Did you.." and before Joey could finish that sentence, Gabriel smacked his shoulder.

"Nothing happened, and don't think anything bad about her, she's not like the others, okay?" He replied while walking in his room to prepare himself.

"Okay okay, sorry, I'm just joking man." He replied while rubbing his stinging shoulder.

Gabriel totally ignored him and removed his jacket, shirt and jeans and put his boxing shorts on. Then started to handwrap his two hands.

Once he's done, he started to punch in the air while Joey just stared at him, both  wait for the emcee to call him out.

Elsewhere, Antonia was so amazed because it's the first time that she goes to a fighting club and she really want to visit one and watch what's going on inside.

But her Papa and Uncles ofcourse, warned her to not go, but they can't do anything now, she's here anyway and successfully passed the security using her agility and bacause of her not so tall figure.

As she finds a nice place to see the fight, her hooded head started to look around. Her eyes looking to someone but she cannot find him. And when the emcee called an alias "ghost" to go inside the ring, her eyes widened because that man is none other than, Gabriel.

She quickly averted her gaze as her heart started to beat so fast.

So, he's fighting here, for what?
For money?
For popularity?

But her thoughts was cut off when the bell rings and the emcee announced that it's start to fight.

Gabriel's opponent is taller a few inches to him but they have same built. And when he starts to attack Gabriel, she noticed how careful and observant Gabriel is. He dodged his punches and kick successfully, but instead to punch back, his eyes were looking for his weakness and once he finds it, his leg gave him a very fine kick in the left stomach.

His opponent doubled over, and that his cue to give him a strong punch in the jaw, makes him stumbled and fell but not totally knock out.

Antonia didn't expect how powerful Gabriel's punches was because she saw how his opponent rolled his eyes and blood dripping from his nose.

And because of her astonishment her hood fell from his head and revealed her golden blonde hair and face to Gabriel.

His eyes squinted on her way, just to make sure if she's really Antonia, when he saw her familiar clothes and hood, it's confirmed and because of that, angers run through his body and decided to end the fight now.

So once his opponent stand up, Gabriel gitfed her an uppercut sending him totally to knock out.

The emcee announced his victory and after that, his feet run fast to his room and put some clothes on and take his bag in hurry before facing Joey who has confused look.
