Ryoma's declaration is met with another deafening eruption from the crowd. Thousands of spectators cheer wildly, many laughing at the sheer audacity of the challenge.
Amid the celebration, Superintendent Shibata lets out a quiet chuckle.
"No one can stop me now, he said?"
Detective Tachibana glances sideways at Shibata, a faint frown forming between his brows.
"…What's so funny?"
Shibata simply clicks his tongue and gives a slow shake of his head.
"You really don't get it, do you?"
He folds his arms with so much pride, his eyes returning to Ryoma inside the ring.
"That statement wasn't just for Miguel Cabello. It was meant for someone watching from America."
Tachibana's eyes narrow. "...Hugo Ramirez?"
Shibata nods. "Yeah, Cabello's promoter."
Shibata's expression settles into one of quiet satisfaction.
