Vincenzo, smiling, said, "Okay then, I am first. My prediction is that you will lose this time! Our teammates are fighting each other. I've seen you fight some of my top men and you easily beat them, proving you're skilled in martial arts. So, it’s safe to assume you know that only two of my men are fighters. It’s true that Jonas and Thomas are my only fighters. It’s obvious—they have huge, well-shaped muscles like you do! I have two fighters, while you have three if I’m not wrong. According to my analysis, two of your fighters will engage my two fighters, while your third will infiltrate the 'V' base and see my card. He won’t face any problem entering the base since my fighters will be occupied with yours. Once one of your men sees my card, he’ll somehow contact you. I don't know how, but he will. This room is soundproof and sealed, so I’m curious to see how he’ll manage to contact you."
Jebi replied, "I’m really impressed by how well you’ve predicted my moves! But you're wrong about one thing: I’m going to win this round!"
Outside the "Devils House," Finsil said to Kazel, "You dumbass, you're going to take the huge guy and I'll take the Japanese guy, okay?"
Kazel retorted, "Why do you sound like you’re ordering me? Anyway, I’m going to beat that big guy's ass!"
Finsil stepped back, gathering power in his left leg to run. This way, he’d be faster than usual.
Realizing this, Jonas shouted, "They are comi—"
Before Jonas could finish his sentence, Finsil had already covered the distance between them, moving twice as fast as a leopard. Without stopping, Finsil used his body weight and the force from his speed to perform a roundhouse kick. Jonas barely managed to block it, but the impact still sent him flying a meter backward.
Finsil remarked, "You are no joke, man. That kick was probably twice as strong as my usual kicks, but you still blocked it!"
Meanwhile, Thomas, watching the fight between Finsil and Jonas, suddenly noticed a punch from Kazel heading his way. Unable to dodge, Thomas blocked it with both hands, but the force sent him flying, crashing into a wall and almost destroying it.
Kazel said, "Looks like I found a guy who can take my punches without dying."

Jonas is looking at Finsil. Jonas is actually in a guarding position!
Jonas thought to himself, "I can't let my guard down. He is too strong and fast!"
Suddenly, Jonas started running backwards!
Finsil shouted, "You think I can't catch you!?"
Finsil starts running towards Jonas, but Jonas didn’t actually want to run. What Jonas wanted was to deceive Finsil. In the middle of running, Jonas suddenly stopped. He twisted his leg along with his body and successfully landed a back kick on Finsil.
A back kick is arguably the strongest kick. A professional can break someone's rib if it lands accurately. However, the kick Jonas performed isn’t at the level of professionals or, should I say, the level of humans!
That kick was beyond human capabilities. Assuming it can kill a person would be fair! It was impossible for Finsil to dodge this kick. Jonas was running at a slow speed intentionally so that Finsil could catch him easily.
When Finsil was close to Jonas, he immediately landed that back kick! Finsil was running at high speed, making it impossible for him to dodge!

Finsil flew away and crashed into a concrete pillar. But the pillar wasn’t enough to stop Finsil. Finsil broke the pillar and fell to the ground. A lot of dust covered the place due to the breaking of the pillar.
Jonas thought to himself, "He sure is injured after this! It wouldn’t be surprising if he can’t stand up!"
INSIDE THE DEVILS HOUSE :
Vincenzo said, "So that was my prediction so far! Now what will be yours?"
Jebi replied, "You will lose this round. Do you really think your two fighters could defeat my two fighters? Well, if they defeat my two fighters, then they might beat up my third fighter. This way, you can win! But this is not that simple. There are uncountable possibilities! But I am sure that your two fighters can't beat mine! You see, Finsil and Kazel... there is a reason they got those nicknames!"
Vincenzo responded, "You know what, you shouldn’t underestimate my teammates!"
Jebi countered, "I am not underestimating them! I am just saying that my teammates are just too strong even for extraordinary fighters!"
Vincenzo argued, "But you see, only strength can’t give you the victory! You need something to protect in order to win a fight!"
Jebi retorted, "This is why my fighters will win! They aren’t just fighting for money!"
Vincenzo observed, "What a coincidence. You said your fighters' names are Finsil and Kazel, right? As far as I know, they are two mafia bosses from two different gangs! How did you manage to convince them?"
Jebi admitted, "You are right! And I managed to convince them somehow!"
Vincenzo accused, "You played dirty, didn’t you? Anyway, you shouldn’t trust your fighters that much! I ain’t gonna say much since that’s your business!"
Jebi said, "Looks like you didn’t understand what I mentioned earlier! I am sure my fighters will win."
Vincenzo challenged, "We will see that! Now I am bored playing this intimidation game! We are both trying to intimidate each other. We are trying to make each other lose our composure. That’s why we were bluffing! The truth is we don’t know who will win!"
Jebi questioned, "Do you know why Finsil was called the White Hair Legend?"
Vincenzo guessed, "Because he has white hair!?"
Jebi clarified, "Let me tell you! Long ago, when Finsil was 17 years old, he beat more than 600 men. Some of them were using knives! But still, none of them managed to touch Finsil even once! Those who were among the 600 said after the fight was over, Finsil’s whole body was covered in blood except his white hair, which was glowing in the moonlight!"
OUTSIDE OF THE DEVILS HOUSE :
Jonas is shocked. Finsil is casually walking out of the dust!
It doesn’t look like Finsil is injured! More like Finsil is looking fine and serious!
Finsil said, "In 9 years, you are the first one who landed a kick on me besides Kazel. But right now, this is different!"
Finsil is releasing a monstrous aura!
On the other hand,
Targut is running towards 'V' base. His goal is to see what card Vincenzo has!
Thomas and Kazel are in the middle of a fight! Thomas punched Kazel’s ribs, but it doesn’t seem like Kazel is greatly suffering!
Thomas noticed that Targut is running towards 'V' base! Thomas shouted, "Someone is coming towards 'V' base!"
Kazel taunted, "You are loud, man! No one is going to stop Targut because Finsil is the strongest fighter I have seen!"
Kazel punched Thomas in the face. Thomas’s nose must be broken! His nose is bleeding!
But Kazel didn’t stop; he grabbed Thomas’s neck and threw him against a wall. The wall he crashed into is completely broken! Thomas grabbed a rod that was revealed due to the destruction of the wall! Thomas barely survived! If he hadn’t grabbed that rod, he would have fallen from the tower! They are on the 27th floor! If anyone falls from here, they are surely dead!
Kazel said, "I am glad you survived since I am going to punch you harder!"
Thomas replied, "Now that the tower wall is destroyed, I can see the sky very well. Not to mention the view of the sleeping city!"
Thomas ripped his shirt and said, "Come at me, you monster!"
Targut successfully reached the 'V' base! There’s only one person in the 'V' base, and that person is Scorpen.
Targut warned, "Back off, kid! You are just a teenager. I don’t want to hit a kid!"
Scorpen replied, "I don’t want to fight with you too!"
Targut looked inside the Devil’s House! Vincenzo has a silver card!
Targut started running again!
At 'J' base:
Jackson said, "So this was it! I guess that’s why one of your fighters shouted earlier!"
Andrew was behind Jackson!
Andrew said, "So you have figured it out!"
Jackson replied, "One of your comrades shouted, saying 'Someone is coming towards 'V' base!' [Told by Thomas] That was actually a signal! When you heard that signal, you took the left side of the Devil’s House to reach 'J' base! By the left side, you wouldn’t meet Targut! The signal came from the right side. This proves that Targut chose the right side! Well played. I am bad at fighting. You can see what card Jebi Astry has!"
Andrew looked at Jebi’s card!
Jackson continued, "Before you leave, I wanted to ask two things. First, was this event planned by Vincenzo? And what's your name? It seems to me I have seen you before!"
Andrew replied, "You did a good job figuring out this event! This is why I am answering you! Yes, this was planned by Vincenzo. And my name is Andrew!"
Andrew started moving to leave, but someone suddenly said, "Where are you going?"
Andrew looked back. The person behind him is Targut!
Suddenly, Andrew felt a hit on his neck! Andrew's consciousness started to fade away!
Andrew thought to himself, "So this guy was just buying time for his comrade to come into 'J' base!"
Andrew fell unconscious!
Targut said, "Good thing Jebi told us to contact each other by microphones!"
Jackson remarked, "It’s kind of scary how Jebi predicted every move of Vincenzo!"
Targut asked, "He knew this was gonna happen?"
Jackson replied, "Yeah, he told me these events before entering the Devil’s House."
Targut said, "I have to go now!"
Jackson wished, "Good luck."
Targut started running again. After Targut left,
a voice appeared from behind Jackson! The voice said, "Looks like you guys underestimate me a lot. Because of this, you will lose!"
Jackson looked back and said, "You are wrong. Do you know what Jebi told me before he entered the Devil’s House?"
