Chapter 78 1 Week Later Part 3
Facing four formidable opponents in one night and putting on one of the greatest performances that the fight club had ever seen on his debut, Connor managed to surprise even those that had trained him.
And the first of those four opponents was none other than the Juggernaut.
Facing the man that was slightly larger than him, Connor had a piercing gaze and absolute confidence.
To think that before he met Xavier a week ago, he was merely a timid construction work a go.
And now he was fighting in front of thousands and displaying skill and strength that was so great it was almost unbelievable.
-
As soon as Connor and the Juggernaut\'s fight began, the Juggernaut immediately went in to grab Connor, seeking to grapple with him and force him to the ground.
But unlike what he was expecting, Connor didn\'t move back and also didn\'t seem intimidated in the slightest.
Weirdly, he had a smile on his face and seemed to be looking forward to tussling with someone that was larger than him for once, and as soon as they neared each other, they both went in to grab each other.
However, Connor was impressively faster than the Juggernaut, grabbing his wrists before he could get his hands on him.
His grip strength was so great that even the Juggernaut let out a cry of pain, but he continued his charge towards Connor, ramming his shoulder into his chest.
But Connor merely slid backwards a metre or so and was mostly fine after being run into by his giant opponent.
"Is this all you\'ve got? Really?"
After hearing that it was the Juggernaut that had hurt Xavier\'s wrist, Connor already sought to avenge him, and now faced against him, he felt as though he had infinite power.
Maybe it was the adrenaline rush or his desire to become the best and no longer have to struggle in silence, but whatever it was, it made him feel as though he could do anything.
But of course, the Juggernaut wasn\'t a pushover and managed to get Connor to the ground, using his weight and strength that was nothing to scoff at.
However, it wasn\'t hard for Connor to break out of his attempt to get him in a choke or a hold.
And after struggling around with him on the ground for a short while, Connor managed to get up, and it was the first time that the Juggernaut had met his match in wrestling.
Although he was definitely much more skilled than Connor, his strength was just too great, making it almost impossible to pin him to the ground.
The Juggernaut attempted to wrestle with Connor a few more times, but it was to no avail, and their fight quickly became a striking match.
But, unlike Xavier, Connor didn\'t need to avoid the Juggernaut or be wary of his size.
Boom!
Falling backwards, the giant man shook the cage as he collapsed after being knocked out by Connor\'s powerful strikes.
He made the Juggernaut look like an easy opponent and it took a few blows, which were unbelievably fast considering his size, to take down the Juggernaut.
And barely taking any damage in the process, he showed the crowd and the demonic five just how great he was.
While although it was evident that his technique and skill weren\'t the greatest, his instincts, reflexes and physique made up for that to the point it was hard to believe that he was actually human.
-
His performance against the Juggernaut made him someone that many in the fight club wanted to avoid fighting against, but also made him a target for those seeking to make a name for themselves.
But taking down Connor was a much harder task than some expected.
Three more fights later, and with minimal injuries, he had matched the record of most fights in a single night and could fight another, but decided against doing so.
The fatigue was starting to get to him, and he wanted nothing more than to rest.
And there was also no opponent left that was eager to face him or worthy of doing so, allowing him to finally relax after his incredible performance that increased the fame and reputation of the Unstoppable Trio.
-
Returning to the viewing room, upon arriving, he was greeted with praise from Xavier and Sam, as well as Achara, who had regained consciousness.
Despite finding it hard, even Sam couldn\'t hide the awe he was in and was also slightly proud of Connor, seeing how much he had been able to improve under their tutelage.
And after seeing how capable Connor and Achara were in a real fight, Sam was even more confident about the Outlaw Gang.
Meanwhile, Xavier was delighted and amazed by how far the two of them had come, especially since it hadn\'t been long since he had recruited them, while he was also impressed by the improvements that Sam had made.
But he knew they still all had a long way to go and continued watching the rest of the fights, seeking to learn whatever he could from them.
-
After that night, the Outlaw Gang had gathered a large sum and after betting most of the money that he and Achara had on all the fights, Xavier and Achara had multiplied their money multiple times.
It was unbelievable how easy making money in the fight club seemed to be, or at least for them.
But they were far from being your average fighters and after receiving all of their winnings and making their way out of the fight club, they were greeted by almost a dozen fighters waiting for them.
And amongst them were the tough opponents that Connor, Sam and Achara had fought against, apart from the Juggernaut, who was too prideful.
At first, they thought that maybe they were being ambushed and were ready to take them all on, but were surprised by what they wanted.
The group of fighters were drawn towards the new enigmas that had appeared in the fight club, especially the Unstoppable Trio, and one that was among them shocked Xavier and Achara greatly.
"Nora...?!"
