Chapter 964:
Laughter and jeers poured through the stands, tension building on stage. All around, a few onlookers bounced in their seats, faces twisted with mocking grins, hungry for the spectacle.
A look of surprise took over Raegan’s face as she kept her eyes glued to Maia, a strange mix of curiosity and suspicion creeping in.
She always figured Maia would freeze up, trapped in her own conscience.
What really threw Raegan off was how Maia never paused for a second. Without stopping, she charged ahead, showing no sign of worrying about her brother. Raegan simply could not understand it.
Unlike most in the crowd, Raegan knew the truth about Viper’s captive. She recognized the young man as Maia’s brother, Ethan.
Raegan assumed Maia would wrestle with the impossible choice, stuck between saving one and leaving the other behind, until she cracked under pressure. Raegan’s prediction turned out completely wrong. Maia pressed on without wavering.
“This woman…” A chill crept into Raegan’s stare. She frowned as the thought surfaced, questioning if Maia actually believed she could rescue both. There was no way anyone could pull that off.
Meanwhile, Viper’s attention snapped to Maia. A hard glint flashed in his eyes as he noticed her rapid advance.
A guttural roar burst from him. Ignoring the official countdown, he hurled his strength forward, determined to crush both Ethan’s and Marisa’s joints before Maia could close the distance.
Hands waved wildly in the stands. Some in the audience looked away, not wanting to witness what was coming.

And then, without warning, every spectator stood in stunned silence at the sight before them.
Maia crouched quietly next to Viper as her hand drifted away from his head.
The sight that unfolded next defied belief.
Foam gathered at Viper’s lips. His eyes rolled back as his body stiffened, and he collapsed, out cold.
“Wait. Did anyone else see that p>
“Is this real? What just happened up there? What did she do p>
“No way! All I caught was a flicker p>
“How in the world did Maia pull that off p>
Pandemonium broke out in the stands.
Raegan shot up from her seat, fixing her stare on Maia, her eyes narrowing in disbelief.
She had caught every detail.
In the blink of an eye, Maia’s fists struck three times.
That first punch landed squarely at the crown of Viper’s head, right where it counted, shutting down his motor control in a heartbeat.
Next, her knuckles crashed into his temple, taking him out of the fight and ending any threat to Ethan as Viper’s world faded to black.
Finally, Maia’s hand found its mark at Viper’s throat, leaving him mute and turning the outcome into a foregone conclusion.
Not a single move was wasted. Maia’s attacks cut through the air, direct and unstoppable. The finishing sequence showed restraint; Viper wasn’t killed, only rendered unconscious.
