TACTICAL VERDICT: Ajax triumphs with an estimated 50% win probability. Both contenders demonstrated elite parity, with the margin of victory secured through tactical conditioning and superior durability recovery.
Ajax seizes immediate spatial superiority with superior kinetic velocity (35 vs 17), circling A-Bomb and testing perimeter defenses.
A-Bomb counters with devastating offensive potency (24 Power rating), breaking through Ajax's forward defensive perimeter.
In the grueling war of attrition, Ajax's supreme hand-to-hand discipline (55 Combat) and endurance (80 Durability) break A-Bomb's posture, securing a definitive victory.

His mother, Scarlet wants to find him and somehow save him before he throws his life away completely.

As Joe falls on the rope of the church bell, his father's loot falls from the bell where it had been hidden the whole time.
