Chapter 329: KOF champion (2/2)
Ricardo couldn't believe it. ”Listen, don't say no so quickly! It's the greatest thing in the world! How can it not appeal to you? The money, the adrenalin, the fame!”
For a long time, Ricardo went on and on, raving on the benefits of being an MMA fighter.
After hearing enough, Ben was standing up from the chair, getting ready to walk out of this office, away from this desperate gym shark.
