Chapter 24 - the challenge
The miserable defeat of the henchmen quickly reached the ears of Poisonous Snake. The Black Dragon boss sat in a dark room, his eyes streaked with brutal red veins upon hearing the report about the maintenance worker.
Poisonous Snake was no ordinary gangster. He was a former international mercenary expelled for his ruthless temper. He immediately recognized that Damon's combat skills did not belong to the civilian world.
"A washed-up ghost wants to stand in my way?" Poisonous Snake growled, crushing a wine glass in his hand. He decided to stop using cheap violence, and instead strike directly at a warrior's pride.
He sent a letter with an enclosed USB drive to the dojo. When Damon opened the video file, images of the surrounding neighborhood appeared, accompanied by dozens of explosive charges that had been secretly planted.
"You have skills, but you can't protect everyone at the same time, Damon," Poisonous Snake's booming voice echoed from the recording. "Hand over the dojo, or watch this neighborhood blow up."
However, Poisonous Snake offered another condition. He challenged Damon to a death match at Black Dragon's underground arena. If Damon won, he would withdraw forever and dismantle all the bombs.
If Damon lost, the dojo and his life would belong to them. Damon stared at the computer screen, his hands rolling into tight fists. He knew this was a deadly trap that had already been set.
