The crowd was in a wild frenzy as they roared in anticipation. Their sounds filled the retrofitted club house. The chairs wrapped around the Fight ring in the middle. The mezzanine's wall boards had been rearranged to form smaller prestigious booths for the high paying caste. The ring master dressed in a sleek grey and red lined tuxedo walked into the ring and motioned for the crowd to quiet down.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said in a calm voice that made you want to follow him to whatever dreamworld he was weaving, "I welcome you to Club Nightingale, today's schedule is far from usual but I promise you we have quite the show lined up," the crowd roared in approval, "if you check under your seats, you'll see some presents left there by a very one of our very good sponsors. A token of good will from Mr D, we are sure the gold lined boxes will be enough to show how much we appreciate you." The crowd on the lower tier roared their approval.

Efosa reached under his seat and pulled out a purple box lined with gold. It couldn't have been bigger than his pod case. The top of the box featured the letters J and P in an elegant cursive. He cursed silently, "why was he involved with them." He pulled out his phone and sent his brothera text. He chuckled as the crowd became quiet, "the people want pills and the pills want them too."

He sighed as he opened up the box, two blue pills sat in the center of the box on a plush foam bed, "talk about presentation," he chuckled and closed it back, "he really loves overkill," he slipped the box into his blazer's pocket. He settled in his seat and just hoped that Zogie wasn't going to mess up, he still couldn't understand why he had to do things in this manner, what was so bad about negotiations?" He sighed, this was troublesome.

The Ring master walked back into the ring as the club lights danced around before focussing on him, "Now ladies and gentlemen, the match that brought us all here today, the bout of Titans, A match between an undefeated brawler and a challenger with the biggest starting wager in boxing history," he looked around at the spectators leaning forward in their seats and smiled.

The speakers played the sounds of a drum role as he raised his hand above his head and pointed it to his right, "in the right we have the challenger all the way from the cleanest parts of town, the one with fifty blocks on his head today, the Blue beast!" Only a few cries were heard as a moderately built figure walked into ring with a blue coat over his body. The ring master chuckled, he'd done his best to create a buzz for him but there was a limit to how much his words could do.

He raised his hands and pointed them left, "now the one you all know, the one you love and adore, the undefeated brawler, the king of the wire cage," he smirked as the crowd screamed louder and louder, "the contender from the dust of Aduwawa. In the left corner, ladies and gentlemen I give you the raging bull, Ebubedike one, Okonkwo!" The crowd roared with in a frenzy. The arenas champion was here.

The drum roll changed into a native rhythm as the champion gyrated into the ring clothes in nothing but his briefs and a red skull cap. His tattooed of skulls and feathers were a terrifying sight to look at for two long. He pumped his fists in the air and the crowd roared in approval, this was their man.

"Ladies and gentlemen please place your bets on the clubs online platform that's been provided to you in your invitation cards," the ring master smiled and walked to the middle of the ring. He motioned for the two fighters to come towards him. Okonkwo pulled his cap off and threw it into the crowd as the other contender dropped his blue robes and revealed his build.

Efosa smiled in his seat, "I have no idea why I was worried, blue is going to wipe the floor with him."

"Are you ready?" The ring master cried, the two combatants nodded and the crowd roared, "the rules are simple, this is mixed martial arts bout no one leaves the cage until someone surrenders or passes out," he walked out of the ring and raised his hands, "the moment the wire cage lands on the floor you may begin."
