Timeout: Venganza
The underground court felt alive with tension.
The fluorescent lights flickered faintly, casting cold, sterile beams over the waxed floor.
There were no roaring fans.
No friends or families watching.
No camera flashes.
Only the players.
The solitary referee standing near center court, stone-faced.
And high above, hidden behind tinted glass walls, the quiet watchers from the Monitor Room — the real audience.
The entire space felt like a sealed vault.
A battlefield where only skill—and something darker—would decide the victors.
Near the Venganza bench, Vin Cruz stood with arms crossed, unmoving.
His shadow stretched long under the harsh ceiling lights, cutting across the floor like a blade.
His face was unreadable.
Calm.
Cold.
But those who knew him best could see it—the faint twitch at the corner of his mouth, the storm raging behind his eyes.
Nearby, Kaia stirred restlessly.
