Prologue
"Listen Pablo,", Frank exclaims, his eyes focused on Pablo. "Today I have a bigger tip for you for this final match. I'm gonna put all of my money on Eden because i strongly believe he is gonna win this match tonight." Frank speaks to Pablo, sitting on his chair besides the fighting ring as the match goes on while the fans around the arena screams with excitement.
"Are you out of your mind Frank?," Pablo scoffs, raising his brow with contempt. "Elias is going to win this fight tonight, Mark my words."
Nathan releases the smoke of the cigarette from his nose, with a staleness of the scent, causing Frank to pull himself into a familiar grimace. "This match looks tough to put my bet on today, I think I'm gonna pass for today. Maybe next time."
Frank smirks, looking at Nathan with contempt on his face. "You are just a coward Nathan."
The lights on the arena are brighter, reflecting on the fighting ring, accompanied with screaming of fans inside around the arena as the match goes on while Pablo and his friends talks about business on their table as the match goes on.
Everyone inside the arena is enjoying the match, as the screams of the chanting fans continues to grow overtime as the match gets intense between Elias and Eden on the fighting ring. Pablo bends down besides his chair and takes his briefcase, dropping it down and opens it on the top of the table.
"Today I'm gonna put my bet on Elias for a hundred million dollar.", Pablo says, looking at Frank straight in the eyes while Nathan is on his chair, observing Frank and Pablo as they gamble, his cigarette pinched between in the teeth of his mouth.
"Are you insane Pablo?," Nathan exclaims, his eyes wide open."That is a lot of money to bet on somebody."
"Just relax will you," Pablo nods a little and looks at Nathan. "Don't worry I got this."
Pablo returns his gaze and looks at Frank, waiting to hear what frank is going to propose as the match goes on inside the arena.
Frank nods too, looking at Pablo straight in the eyes. "Okay that is fine Pablo," and takes a briefcase besides his chair, dropping it down on the top of the table and opens it. "But today I want to bet with you the amount worth a hundred and fifty million dollar, are willing to take a bet or not?."
Pablo's eye widens open, gasping and astonished with the amount proposed by Frank since he did not expect that Frank will have that large huge amount of money inside his briefcase for gambling.
Pablo sighs and looks at Nathan with a pleading face. "Listen Nathan, i want you to borrow me another fifty million dollar so that I can close the deal with this guy."
"No Pablo," Pablo exclaims, shaking his head with disagreement. "That is a lot of money to put on betting on someone, don't make a huge mistake of losing that huge amount of money that can end up ruining your businesses on the future."
Pablo scoffs. "Don't worry about that brother. I know what i'm doing. Just give me that fifty million and I promise you I will give it to you when the match is over."
Nathan sighs. "Okay fine as you say so but first let us watch the match. I will give it to you later when the match is over."
Pablo nods and smile. "Okay, thank you brother."
When Pablo finishes talking to Nathan, he then returns his gaze back to frank, looking at him straight in the eyes and replies. " Okay. I accept that."
The ref is inside the ring, moving around as the match between Elias and Eden proceeds, checking and observing any violations of the rules between the opponents. Eden's mother, Joyce, is at the fan stage, supporting her son Eden as the match goes on the fighting ring while being surrounded by the group of the screaming fans on the fan's bench. This match is one among the illegal matches which the drug lords around Mexico City holds for their gambling purposes in order gain more money apart from their businesses.
Eden is on the stage, shielding his face with his hands, moving around the combat stage waiting for the perfect time to strike. When Elias steps closer to Eden's space, releasing a punch by his right hand, Eden ducks and punches Elias back on the face, causing Elias to grunt with pain, looking at Eden with fury on his eyes, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike back while moving around the combat stage.
As Elias and Eden moves around the stage, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike each other, Elias darts quickly into Eden's space and jumps on the top of him, causing Eden to fall down on the ground, and then striking his face with a lot of punches until Eden loses consciousness. The ref rushes quickly to Elias and removes him on top of Eden after he breaks the rules, leaving Eden lying on the ground.
Eden's opens his eyes slowly, looking at the lights of the Arena as his ears are filled with silence, receiving the low vibration of the sound coming from the fans on the stage as the match continues going on. When Eden tries to wake up, crawling to the other side of the stage in order to grab the ropes and stand up while bleeding on his face, suddenly Elias rushes towards him and puts him into a neck lock, causing Eden to start choking.
Joyce on the fan's stage gasps, her mouth wide open after seeing her son choking on the stage while her heart hummers quickly, trembling all over her body. Joyce stands up from the bench and rushes towards the combat stage in a rush while Eden is at the stage trying to remove himself from the neck lock.
Eden starts to run out of breathe after staying on the lock for quite a long time, trying to remove himself by pulling Elias's feet with his hand using too much force while his head is filled with dizziness.
When Joyce arrives nearby the combat stage, she finds the combat stage surrounded with the security teams around it which makes Joyce hasty towards going to the combat stage as she checks on her son, trying to remove himself from the neck lock.
"What should I do now?," Joyce asks while trembling as she walks around the combat stage as the match goes on while her palms are sweaty." I need to get inside there so that I can tell the referee to stop the match."
After questioning herself without getting the right answers, Joyce decides to walk straight towards the combat stage, in rush in order to save her son as the match goes on inside the ring. When Joyce approaches the combat stage, the guards stops her on the way.
"Let me go, don't touch me," Joyce exclaims, looking at the guard with grimace. "I want to go inside the ring and help my son."
The security guard shakes his head. "No mom, we can't do that. It's strictly forbidden for anyone to enter inside the stage."
"Okay fine," Joyce sighs, looking at the combat stage while pointing her finger towards the combat direction." But can you please tell the referee to stop the match because I'm seeing my son choking up there on the stage without any help."
The guard shakes his head. "Sorry mom we can't do that, rules are rules. We are not allowed to cancel the match while it's on the middle; I hope you understand us Madam."
"What are you talking about," Joyce frowns and exclaims. "don't you see that my son he can't even breathe right now, uh!?."
"We understand that you're feeling so sacred to lose your son right now but the match will end soon when your son taps his hand down on the stage. Just be patient mom."
Joyce remains silent, looking confused as she doesn't know what to do in order to save her son as she moves around the stage, biting her nails while her hands trembles praying for her son not die. As the match continues, the fans starts to chant at Eden as they mock him repeatedly while clapping their hands.
"MAMA'S BOY," followed with claps, "MAMA'S BOY.", followed with claps.
The whole crowd stands and gets engaged, as everybody on the fans stage starts trolling on Eden.
When Eden hears voice of the fans trolling, he decides to try again his level best to free himself from Elias's neck lock but unfortunately his efforts seems to fail since his breathing is about to cut short due to the loss of strength.
As Eden is in the process of trying to free himself from Elias's neck lock, he then tilts his head and looks around the combat stage and then suddenly sees his mother standing outside of the combat stage, nervous while dropping tears on her face.
"You can do this son," Joyce shouts as soon as she sees her son looking at her from the stage. " Don't you ever give up too soon son."
At the time Joyce finishes shouting at her son, Eden's strength returns back fully into his body and then he pulls off Elias's feet from his neck with so much force while groaning in pain. When Eden succeeds to free himself from Elias's feet, he then turns quickly and looks at Elias's on the top, punching him on his face with so much force until Elias loses all of his strengths and remains unconscious.
When Eden stands up on the stage while Elias is down on the ground, the crowd goes silent as everyone on fans stage cannot believe what have just happened since they didn't expect that Eden could defeat Elias so suddenly. The ref goes and checks on Elias, calling him to respond for the match to proceeds. But after calling Elias for a long time without getting answered, the ref stands up from the ground and holds Eden hand declaring him as a winner.
"Damn it Elias!." Pablo exclaims, standing up from his chair, narrowing his eye with a familiar grimace on his face while looking at Elias on the combat stage.
Frank grins and stands up from his chair, patting Pablo's shoulder on the back, "I told you Pablo that Eden was gonna win this match but you didn't believe on me." When Frank finishes talking to Pablo, he then orders his guards to take the briefcases containing 300 million dollars straight to his car.
"Okay, I think I better leave you two since there is nothing to do here anymore. We will see each other next time." Frank and his guards leaves the fighting arena, leaving Pablo and Nathan standing together as Pablo looks at the stage completely shocked of what happened.
Nathan sighs and looks at Pablo. "Okay Pablo I have to go but I will need my money back by the end of the next month, you only have eight weeks left from now. Good luck."
Nathan leaves the arena together with his bodyguards, leaving Pablo standing alone while feeling confused on how he is going to get that huge amount of money in order to pay Nathan's money back and also sum of it to return it back to his businesses in order to avoid any future complications.
