Awakening the War God novel Chapter 241

As he entered the arena, Gabriel realized that the so-called underground boxing ring was set up on a basketball court.

It had undergone some substantial changes.

The rectangular court had four enormous speakers mounted at its corners, blaring music that thundered through the air.

he volume was so deafening that it felt like eardrums might burst.

At the center of the basketball court, a massive fighting platform had been constructed.

The lighting was dim, creating a tense atmosphere.

On the platform, nine sultry dancers were performing an energetic, sensual dance routine. High above, several foreign DJs were spinning tracks, adding to the electrifying atmosphere.

Around three to four hundred spectators swayed with the music, many of them shaking their heads vigorously, making not only their hair but even the fluffy busts on their chests dance.

Gabriel frowned; he was not a fan of this kind of environment.

It didn't feel like a club-with flashing neon lights that seemed to dance on his face, it was more of a bar.

"Mr. Gabriel, please take a seat," Matilda said as they entered the glass-enclosed VIP viewing area. The soundproof glass offered an immediate contrast to the noisy surroundings, creating a zone of quietude.

Matilda, after sitting down, instinctively crossed her right leg over her left, revealing a tantalizing leg slit in her outfit.

Four bodyguards stood behind Matilda, while she expertly took out an imported pack of cigarettes from her bag. With a golden lighter, she lit one and took a deep drag. Her eyes held a deep, melancholic glint.

On the opposite side, Gabriel retrieved a pack of bargain cigarettes from his pocket and lit one with a plastic lighter.

As he exhaled, Matilda furrowed her brows and pushed her cigarette box toward him, saying, "You should smoke mine. With your status, you shouldn't be indulging in such low-quality cigarettes."

Gabriel didn't seem to mind, and he replied, "The ingredients in your cigarettes and mine are the same; there's no real difference. The only thing that's different is your self-proclaimed exclusivity."

Matilda raised an eyebrow, apparently taken aback by Gabriel's response. She then smiled and said, "Perhaps you're right, but I still can't stand the way yours smells."

Gabriel found her pretentiousness a bit irritating but showed no intention of extinguishing his cigarette. Instead, he continued to puff on it with relish.

"Welcome, Miss Wallick!" Just then, a bald man with a small beard walked in.

The moment he entered, he went into full-on flattery mode. Matilda merely nodded in response.

The bald man was the owner of this club. He was aware of Matilda's frequent visits to the 'Winner Takes All' club, where she usually enjoyed high-stakes boxing matches.

This time, Kevin had informed her about a special match happening tonight, and Matilda decided to make an appearance.

"Rest assured, Miss Wallick, tonight's match will be absolutely thrilling! To keep the anticipation high, allow me to withhold the details for now," Kevin said with a mischievous grin. Suddenly, he noticed Gabriel sitting across from Matilda.

Gabriel's imposing aura and his equal posture to Matilda suggested he was not an ordinary person.

With a smile, Kevin asked, "Miss Wallick, who's this gentleman?"

Matilda's dimple made an appearance as she replied in a gentle tone, "This is Mr. Eunuch, a new boxer I've recruited. The previous ones didn't perform well and cost me some losses. This time, I intend to win it back."

In this club, the fighters were usually a combination of those recruited by the club and those brought in by the super members.
