"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second night of July's ultimate championship. I, as the host tonight can tell you that I'm excited and anticipating for the matches tonight. But, although I'm the referee, I'll just watch the match from out of the ring. I hope you don't blame me as the matches are so thrilling in that they scare me. But, let's put all that aside and let the quarter finals begin!"

"Let's start with the rules of the quarter finals. The way of loosing the match is still the same. But, please, even if you lose the match don't wait till you die."

"Anyway, all the matches are going to take place today. So, while fighting in the quarter finals, you better make sure that you're in a good condition to be able to fight in the semi-finals. Of course you'll be given enough time to recover before fighting. But, if you're gravely injured, we can only say sorry to you."

"Now, the quarter finals will be best of five. The five contestants will enter the ring and compete. The one that wins will enter the semi-finals. And, while he's resting, the first match of the semi-finals will start."

"If the one that won the quarterfinals happens to be selected by the randomization computer, we definitely will allow him to rest. But, the ones that were not selected would fight first."

"Thirty minutes after their match, the other round of semi-finals will begin. So, I hope that the time that you'll be given would be enough for you to rest your muscles for the semi-finals."

It was always hard for those that were participating and hoped to be the champions. The rules of the championship favored those that managed to reach top three, more so the champion and defending champion.

Even so, there was always a reward for a person that managed to reach the finals and win, if he had not been given the privilege like mad lion and the other two. Most of the fighters are always encouraged by the rewards and that was the exact reason as to why some fought till they ended up dead.

Nevertheless, those were the desperate ones that really needed money and had no other ways out of the situation that they were in.

"Let the quarter finals start. Those making the bets better start placing the bets. As you can all see, there's no need for the selection to be done. There are already three people that have a spot in the semi-finals. So, you should know the remaining five and their abilities as none of them is a noob."

Scarred tiger, Gibby and the other three went to the ring. As he left, scarred tiger gave Jack another glance before leaving with a snort.

This round was going to be intense as it was an elimination match. There were five contestants for a single spot. But, there were some things that always happened in such a match.

They would form teams to eliminate the others or they would fight solo. But, the ones that fought solo would definitely be the first ones to be eliminated.

Another thing that happened was that, the others always formed a team to target the strongest person present in the ring. Then, they would start fighting amongst themselves to find the one that would qualify for the next round.

Scarred tiger and Gibby gave each other a knowing glance. Then, they turned and faced the other three fighters that were in the ring with them. There was no need to talk as it was obvious that the three would team up to eliminate Gibby and scarred tiger.

Both Gibby and scarred tiger had managed to reach the semi-finals in the previous championship. On the other hand, this was the first time for the other three to reach the quarter finals.

As soon as the going rang, the five made their moves. They attacked without holding back with the intention eliminating the other party as fast as possible. The lesser injuries they sustained, the better their chances would be in winning in the semi-finals.

Although Jack wasn't interested in the matches, he still decided to watch the match. There was no harm to watch the match to pass time as there was nothing that he could do.

None of the two, vulture or mad lion spoke to him and Jack had no intention of talking to them either. He simply waited for his round while watching the five in the ring.

Although Gibby and scarred tiger were facing three people, they were not at a disadvantage at all. In fact, they had an advantage though it wasn't that big.

As the fight went on, the advantage of the fighting experience began showing. Gibby and scarred tiger began taking advantage of the mistakes that the three made to make heavy blows that injured them.

On the other hand, although they also got attacked, the injuries that they sustained were superficial. And in about thirty minutes, the three were eliminated one after the other.

And now, the two of them faced each other. Although they were injured, the injuries didn't affect their combat capabilities.

Just as Jack and the crowd expected that a fight would erupt again, they were disappointed and flabbergasted by what happened next.

"I surrender!" Gibby's voice was loud enough to reach the ears of everyone present. For a moment, everything came to a pause before the crowd erupted.

"What the f*ck are you doing Gibby?!"

"I just bet on Gibby and now you're telling me that you're going to surrender without fighting?"

"I can't accept this! I want my money to be refunded!"

"There must be some strings that have been pulled here!"

"If he knew that he was going to surrender, why on earth did he get in the ring? To help scarred tiger win?"

"Just shut up there! Don't you see that this is a tacit understanding between the two? If they want to have a chance of winning in the semi-finals they have to choose one between them."

"Of course you'll say that because you placed a bet on scarred tiger!"

"I don't think I stopped you from doing that, right?"

"You! I'll kill you this moment!"

The chaos that had erupted was so intense. But, this wasn't to be unexpected as the way that the match had ended was definitely not the best way. At least they could have pretended to fight for a while before one of them gave up.

But, surrendering only after he had eliminated the other three, that could already prove that the two must have come to an agreement before the match.

The crowd wasn't the only one that was complaining about this. In the VIP room, the bosses there were cursing incessantly.

On the other hand, Edwin frowned as he looked at Austin who was currently having a smug smile on his face. He immediately knew that this must be something that he had planned.

Considering that he'd bet with Jack, it was obvious that Austin would look for methods of making Jack lose the fight. He asked, "Is this what you've planned Austin?" His mood was gloomy. He already knew that this was the first part of the plan that Austin has made. There must be other tricks involved.

Edwin could also understand why Austin would go to this extend. In any case, if he lost the bet, he was going to lose ninety percent of his wealth. That was not something that someone that had worked hard to gain would easily agree to.

The smile that was originally on Austin's face immediately froze. He gloomily looked at Edwin and asked, "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to slander me?"

"What slander? You're trying to deny it even after that smile on your face a moment ago could speak all the words that have to be said?" Edwin asked back.

He would have wanted to inform Jack that there was a scheme in the matches. But, there was no way that he was going to inform Jack about it considering that Jack was already in the locker room and there was no way that he could contact him.

He let a sigh and decided to put the matter aside. At the same time, he just hoped that Jack wouldn't be in trouble and would be able to notice that there was something wrong with the way that this match ended.

Although the commotion was high, the host managed to calm them down. The crowd also knew that the one that owned the arena wasn't someone that they could go against. So, although they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to cause trouble.

But, in their hearts, they had already sworn that they would definitely beat up that guy called Gibby. Since he was able to get the third place in the last championship, most of the people had placed their bets on him.

In the end, he had surrendered and, that was before he even began fighting with scarred tiger who had been defeated by him in the previous championship.

So, no matter what, they had decided that they were going to beat him up. More than 3/5 of those that placed their bets had placed the bet that Gibby was going to win. In the end, he made them lose their money in such a stupid manner.

"Since the quarter finals have ended, let's make the draw for the semi-finals." As the host spoke, he gazed towards the screen projection that had already began showing the names of the four participants.

When the random selection was completed, the host shouted, "Our first match will be mad lion against vulture!"
