Villain: Transmigrated Into A NTR Manga As The Antagonist

Chapter 374 Spinning the Narrative

Chapter 374  Spinning the Narrative

Shock, controversy, anger, praise. The combat sports world, not the majority of the internet was lit aflame, but what Alex had done in the cage against the former and undefeated light heavyweight champion.

It was murder, plain and simple. And the District Attorney was trying to argue that it was pre-meditated murder by all the comments Alex had made on the internet prior to breaking the neck of James Jones via repeated and illegal elbows to the throat. Alex would have stood trial, if not for the fact that Nina went out of her way to expose all of Jones' dealing with the Omani Prince, as well as the fact that the Athletic commission, and Referee themselves were paid to stand by and watch the assassination of a fighter.

It was a scandal that did not just rock the entire Combat Sports world, but exposed massive corruption in the state athletic commission responsible for sanctioning the event.

Alex went on to excuse himself by saying he knew going into the fight he was fighting against a would be assassin in death match that was sanctioned by the Athletic Commission. Even if he learned all of these facts from his lawyer while he sat in an interrogation room.

The US federal government immediately began an investigation into the matter. And Carmen, who had previously been a DEA field agent, had transferred to the FBI. Where she was tasked with leading to the investigation.

With the help of the other women in Alex's harem, and the power of the US Federal Government behind her, a story was created from thin air that painted Alex as a mere victim trying to defend himself against a hired assassin.

The State of Oman was implicated in the attempted murder of a US citizen, as well as the bribery of government officials, and after thorough investigation by the FBI and CIA into the matter. The Gulf Oil State was thoroughly blacklisted by the United States and its allies in the region.

Even Saudi Arabia was forced to condemn Oman and cut ties with them. Opec officially severed ties with Oman who since 2016 had been an observer state. And they were thoroughly sanctioned by more than half of the world's nations.

It was an enormous blow to the country, no doubt one spearheaded by Alex's mother, who had a significant influence over US politicians due to her vast wealth, which grew larger by the day. And was fueled by the profits from Alex's drug empire.

Eventually all charges were dropped against Alex with prejudice, where he had a carefully concocted statement prepared for him which he recited outside the courthouse.

"I am just glad to say that today my faith in the American justice system has been reborn. I am once more a free man, despite the District Attorney's initial and best efforts to send me behind bars for merely defending myself against a foreign assassin whose hostile actions were sanctioned by a corrupt state government.

I know that justice will be dealt to those responsible in the coming days. And I assure you that I will pursue every legal means to ensure that this disqualification, this blemish on my record, is removed, either as a means of no contest, or some other reversal of these criminals' decision! I want to go spend some time with my family now, thank you all, and god bless America."

Alex could barely contain his disdain for the drivel on the paper. Faith in the American justice system? Without his own means, cultivated through the talented beauties by his side, Alex would have been left to rot on a 1st degree murder charge.

There would be no justice for any other man in his shoes. But now that the Prince of Oman had tried to kill him. Alex planned to wipe out the entire Omani royal family. And plunge the nation into disaster. His first step of this plan was to further fund terrorism in the country.

As for his disqualification. His lawyers began presenting a case to the California State Athletic Commission where the event was held, to ensure that what remained of its staff who were not exposed and arrested as conspirators, to have the disqualification overturned.

As Alex had only violated the rules after several deliberate and illegal blows were dealt to him, that would normally give permanent and crippling injury to any other man. And these blows were only permitted to occur because of government corruption.

Sure enough, over the course of the next few weeks, the decision was overturned. With Jimmy Jones being the one whose record noted a disqualification. Making his final record after his death 27-2. Which was further insult to injury towards the "GOAT" whose fans had insisted he was truly undefeated despite having a previous disqualification.

That was an argument they could no longer make, as he was quite literally murdered in hand to hand combat by the man he was DQd against. As for the Ultimate Fighting Challenge. They were forced to come to a decision about what they should do with Alex.

In their haste, they had terminated the man's contract, due to him being DQ'd for quite literally murdering their champion. But the consensus of the fans was that his contract should be reinstated, and that he should be granted the championship belt.

As controversial as a fight as it may have been. Alex did win the fight, even though he had done so through headbutts and elbows to the throat. Which were both in the words of Dan Weiss "Fucking illegal!"

And the official decision of the athletic commission after it was overturned, was that the defeated Champ was himself disqualified for repeated, deliberate, and malicious eye pokes. If they didn't bring Alex back and give him the belt, there would be a major backlash from the fans.

However, there was another reason Dan wanted to bring Alex back, no matter what the cost. He had just destroyed their greatest fighter, one that some may argue was the greatest in the history of the sport. There was no arguing with the result. Alex killed the man with his bare hands.

If he went to a rival promotion, like their biggest competitor in Asia. Then the UFC could no longer claim they had the best fighters. Because this promotion would quite literally have the best Light Heavy-Weight in the world, one who was also currently the sports biggest star, and who had just killed what many fans considered the GOAT.

If this happened, the UFC could lose billions, especially if all the fans were currently angry with them, and the massive scandal that just happened jumped ship and followed Alex to the UFC's competitor with their money in tow.

Because of this, Dan was now personally travelling to Alex's penthouse to negotiate some kind of deal with him that would have him return to the Ultimate Fighting Challenge.

As for Alex himself, he was enjoying himself after being locked in a cell for the last 48 hours. By spending some proper "bonding time" with his family.
