She always persevered.

"Keep going, Lilah! You've got this!" Devonte shouted.

"Are you alright, Lilah?" Barth asked, looking concerned and briefly showing guilt in his eyes.

He had realized Lilah might have been drugged and was battling the aftereffects.

"I'm okay," Lilah replied, smiling faintly before unexpectedly throwing a powerful hook that surprised Barth.

Barth barely avoided getting a bruised face thanks to his quick reflexes.

Lilah found extra energy and launched a series of attacks. Barth struggled to defend himself, unable to counterattack.

Realizing it could be her final opportunity, Lilah fought with full determination.

With swift and strong moves, she pushed Barth backward continuously, but he somehow stayed in the fight.

Understanding that her current strategy wouldn't work long-term, Lilah intentionally exposed a weakness, tempting Barth to attack.

As Barth swung his leg, Lilah leaped up and landed a forceful kick to his stomach.

Barth was thrown back, crashing into the spectator area, narrowly missing someone, which caused the crowd to gasp collectively.

A tense quiet settled over the arena.

In the ring, Lilah stood, shaking slightly but exuding a strong presence. Her icy stare and commanding presence made her appear almost invincible.

Meanwhile, Barth was in a bad condition, getting up slowly and holding his chest, trying to recover his breath.

The gap in skill was clear.

“How did this happen? How did she manage to win?"

"She must have cheated!"

“Or maybe, just maybe, Barth isn't just as good as her. How many times can you lose ‘accidentally'?" someone said cautiously.

Everyone was shocked by that comment.

People exchanged glances, and slowly, more comments like this were heard.

Maybe Barth simply couldn't match Lilah's skills. Perhaps that was why he kept losing repeatedly.

"Wow, you did it, Lilah! You're amazing, my hero!" Xavier exclaimed, rushing over and grabbing Lilah's hand enthusiastically.

Jerrold, clearly upset, grabbed Xavier's leg and bit him. Xavier yelled in pain and backed away, allowing Jerrold to embrace Lilah.
