For a moment, the world seemed to slow for Chuck and Scarlet. Their eyes remained fixed on the beautiful ring girl as she smiled and waved the placard.
"That's her, right?" Chuck muttered, leaning back toward Scarlet. "I'm not seeing things. That's her. Yuri."
He gulped and held his breath when the ring girl turned and glanced in his direction. She didn't seem to recognize him. She simply smiled before continuing on her way.
"I'll follow her," Scarlet whispered, watching as Yuri exited through the opposite corner. "Good luck."
With that, she slipped out of the side of the ring and discreetly made her way around to follow Yuri.
"Hey—" Chuck hissed as he turned, only to find Scarlet already gone. "Fuck."
His breath hitched as he faced his massive opponent. He ground his teeth, realizing that without Scarlet, this would truly be a fight to the death. The match wouldn't end unless one of them was beaten within an inch of their life.
