Reborn To Remarry My Ex Husband (Melody and Edward) novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 Order
At the critical moment, Jake hesitated. His planned strike, poised to seal his victory, froze in midair, and his chance slipped away.

Melody didn't miss a beat. She spun around, delivering a sharp left hook that landed squarely. In a match this fierce, the smallest hesitation could cost everything.

Jake's pause ensured his defeat. The instant he faltered, his fate was sealed.

As Melody pulled back, she recognized his intended move for what it was—not a proper boxing technique, but a maneuver from Blaze Combat.

A surge of anger rose within her, sharp and unyielding.

Without giving him a moment to recover, she launched into a relentless barrage. Her fists struck with precision, forcing Jake back step by step until he could retreat no further.

Finally, he fell, pinned under the sheer force of her attack.

The crowd seemed to release a collective sigh of relief. For a moment, it had felt as if the outcome might slip through their grasp.

Victory had been precariously close to slipping away. A single misstep, and everything Melody had fought for—everything Cleussau stood for—could have crumbled.

Even in a city as bustling as Cleussau's capital, this match had drawn a unique crowd. The heirs from Sommerville might have been plentiful, but they weren't the only ones watching.

When figures from the Ironspire Sect, Silverpeak Sect, and Elysian Sect took their seats, it was clear this was no ordinary event. Eyes from the highest levels of power were fixed on the ring.

Few had expected the leadership to place such responsibility on Melody's shoulders. Yet here she stood, fighting not just for herself but for her country's honor.

Gregoria's dominance in underground boxing had bred resentment for years. Their unchecked arrogance, cloaked in diplomatic ambiguity, had gone unchallenged for far too long.

Openly addressing it would have been undignified, but here, in this shadowed arena, the rules shifted.

Cleussau's turf meant Cleussau's terms.

Melody's fists spoke with authority. Each punch landed with the weight of her fury and her conviction.

Jake might have refrained from completing the illegal Blaze Combat move, but his intent had been clear.

Fair play wasn't optional.

She had made her expectations plain from the start. If Jake had objected, they could have agreed to different terms. But he had given his word, then betrayed it.

The betrayal filled her with disgust.

Even the striking resemblance to Martin in Jake's eyes couldn't soften her resolve. Her heart remained steady, cold, and unyielding.

The referee, seeing Jake sprawled on the ground and Melody still raining blows, stepped in quickly. He pulled her back, his presence forcing the fight to its inevitable conclusion.

The count began, and the outcome was clear.

Melody had won.

The officials from Gregoria, their faces pale, stared at her as if struggling to process the reality.
