[Hiro Ryuu’s expression hardens as he turns to face Ryzing and Thompson, anger flashing in his eyes.]
Hiro Ryuu: “You two think you’re so clever, don’t you? Enjoying my loss like a couple of vultures. Let me tell you something—this isn’t over. You might be riding high now, but your time will come. And when it does, I’ll be there to make sure you get what you deserve.”
Hugo Ryzing: [Laughs mockingly.] “Oh, we’re so scared, Ryuu. You couldn’t even make it past the group stage. What makes you think you can stand up to us?”
Colt Thompson: “Face it, Ryuu. You’re just not good enough.”
[Before Ryuu can respond, Rei Yoshida steps in, trying to defuse the situation.]
Rei Yoshida: “Gentlemen, please, this is not the time or place for this. Let’s keep things professional.”
[But Hiro Ryuu steps forward, refusing to back down.]

[Hugo Ryzing and Colt Thompson just laugh, clearly enjoying pushing Ryuu’s buttons. Rei Yoshida quickly wraps up the interview, sensing the rising tension.]
