Chapter 534: The Grand Final (14)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The match started.
At the event’s venue, both teams played from their respective rooms. The live audience, quite a distance away, was not be able to see the players clearly.
As the players had already been introduced in the earlier phases of the compet.i.tion, there was no introduction of players at the grand final.
Qiao Lian was a replacement for Ancestor White Bones.
At this point, no one knew that CQ’s coach was now one of the players.
Much less Sun Linan, who had never taken any interest in the compet.i.tion up until now.
As it was not King Team’s turn, he felt bored sitting amongst the audience.
After a short while, Purple Fairy walked up to him.
“Mr. Sun…”
Sun Linan nodded and commented on the earlier game, “That was quite a well-played match.”
Purple Fairy nodded immediately and smiled in a good-natured way. “That’s because of Mr. Sun, you had given good guidance.”
Sun Linan continued, “I’m expecting the team to deliver a sterling performance for the final match, do you understand?”
“What,” Purple Fairy thought, “did he mean by a sterling performance?”
As if he could read her thoughts, Sun Linan said, “Perfect maneuvering, perfect coordination! And use good-looking champions, not ones that are too ugly.”
Purple Fairy kept silent.
“In any case, whether it’s Pea or CQ, they’ve all been defeated by our team. The first place is ours for sure.”
Purple Fairy especially agreed with this point. “That’s right, we’ll come in first for sure! And so the one million that you promised…”
“As long as the team clinches the top spot, the money is yours!” Sun Linan gave his word.
Purple Fairy’s eyes lit up with his a.s.surance, and she quickly said, “No problem!”
Then with a big grin, she looked at the stage.
Sun Linan, however, was still worried. “Is there a possibility that our team may lose the compet.i.tion?”
Purple Fairy had full confidence and a.s.sured him, “No. The fact that Pea could come this far was only because when they fought against CQ last week, two of CQ’s players were injured. So Pea had been lucky in that sense. As for CQ… Heh, remember I told you about the 100,000 we spent today? It’s like this…”
She narrated how they had dangled money in front of Ancestor White Bones’ mother and how they had taken Ancestor White bones away. Then she continued, “Mr. Sun, you did say we should do whatever it takes to win.”
Although Sun Linan thought that the approach they had taken was somewhat unethical, this became insignificant when compared to the thought of having a champion team to present to Qiao Lian as a gift.
He was a businessman after all.
And businessmen focus on results, not the process.
Hence, Sun Linan frowned and said, “Although it’s not authentic, well, what’s done is done.”
Purple Fairy kept silent.
Her gaze now fell on the match’s situation.
The match had just begun, but it was evident who was in the lead. CQ was a very strong team. Too strong in fact.
With a team like that, they would give King Team a run for their money for sure!
Furthermore, it was under a circ.u.mstance where they had two key players down.
Watching the game was nerve-wracking, especially watching Qiao Lian, who had replaced Ancestor White Bones. Her playing style looked effortless and fluid, and all her moves were beautifully executed.
Just she alone could lead the team to victory.
Such strength… Such great moves!
Purple Fairy’s heart pounded. Suddenly, her confidence in securing a win was shaken.
She bit her lip.
A team had to win at least two of the three games in order to get through to the grand final. The first round had been a clear undisputable win for CQ.
When the word ‘Victory’ appeared on the screen, Su Penghow and the team members were excited and emotional.
They had skillfully crushed and defeated their opponents.
Under Qiao Lian’s lead, the team was united like never before!
