"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
Neal received a towel and wiped the blood off his face, but his ears kept ringing because of the kick to his head.
"Alright, focus up."
Kiernan snapped his fingers in front of Neal's face so he would focus on the words that were about to leave his mouth.
Neal nodded shakily.
"The first round didn't go as well as I had hoped, but at least you survived through it. That's good, and you succeeded in the plan."
"Yeah… the plan… Which is…?"
Neal asked.
"You've successfully angered Travis, and he will be very impatient to finish the fight. You can use his impatience as a weapon."
Kiernan said, then leaned close to Neal and whispered the rest of the plan into his ear.
Neal's eyes widened in surprise.
"Are you sure that's a good idea? I think it is pretty risky because if I do a single wrong move, I'll lose!"
