Cabello feels the consequences of the two names almost immediately. He mentioned Vaughan and Bowman because he needed witnesses who could support his claim, yet bringing them into the hearing had opened an entirely different line of questions that he had not prepared himself to answer.
Only a short time before the fight, his own promoter, Hugo Ramirez, had been sent to prison over an attempt to sabotage Ryoma. Now Cabello had inadvertently placed two other prominent promoters under scrutiny.
For a moment, his eyes drift across the table toward Ryoma. And Ryoma is also watching him, with something amused in his expression as he rests his head lightly against one clenched fist.
