I feel uncomfortable about this plot. However, it's also interesting path that the author is going to take, and I want to see what happen next. I hope the snake lord will help improve the relationship between mother and children.
Nah, few chapters after 1402 says all about wally's downfall. Ricardo would eventually overwhelms Wally with his high level boxing skills with no help from coach. Wally seem tired (chapter 1402, page 18) while Ricardo maintains his stance, still using his textbook boxing.
