As she said this, she pointed to Sun Linan and said to the group, “Sun Linan.”
Then, introducing the group to Sun Linan, she said, “They are all CQ—”
Before she could finish her sentence, a signal sounded from within the compet.i.tion hall to indicate that the match was starting.
Qiao Lian paused and didn’t continue with what she was saying. Instead, her attention was on the match. “Let’s go watch the match now.”
Today, three teams would be vying for the first place.
In the semi-finals, because of the errors that The G.o.dfather and The Deputy G.o.dfather had made as a result of their injuries, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan had taken over and turned the situation around. But even then, they had only managed to clinch the third place and sc.r.a.pe into the grand final.
Hence, today’s first match was between the top teams, King Team and the second-placed veteran Pea Team.
The team that lost the first match would then play against CQ Team in a second match. The losing team in the second match would be eliminated.
If they won the second match, they would then come up against the winner of the first match to vie for the first place.
Now King Team and Pea Team were up against each other.
Because CQ would be playing against one of these teams in the second match, they sat among the audience a.n.a.lyzing their battle strategies.
The first match started.
Qiao Lian and Su Penghao observed the game intently.
Su Penghao asked Qiao Lian, “Who do you think will win?”
Before Qiao Lian could speak, Sun Linan interjected, “Of course, King Fighting Team!”
Qiao Lian did not respond to his remark.
Su Penghao: …
They both looked at Sun Linan gloomily.
Sun Linan immediately cleared his throat. He couldn’t possibly tell Qiao Lian now that the King Team belonged to him.
He had to wait until they won the first place.
Hence, trying to gloss over it, he said, “Just look at the name of that team…”King.” How majestic!”
To think that he was the one who had come up with the name!
Qiao Lian and Su Penghao by now had chosen to ignore him completely.
He continued to chatter by himself, “Furthermore, even if King lost this round and fought against CQ Team, it wouldn’t be a problem. After all, they beat CQ Team just last week! So there is a high chance. I’m sure that King will emerge as the fully-deserving winner!”
“Shut up!” Qiao Lian snapped at him angrily.
“Why does Qiao Lian look so terrible?” Sun Linan thought to himself. “Did I say something I shouldn’t have?”
He was at a total loss.
Qiao Lian turned to Su Penghao on the other side and said, “I feel that King will win too.”
Sun Linan said indignantly, “See? See? Qiao Lian, we think alike.”
Qiao Lian did not respond to his remark.
Ignoring him, she continued, “Although Pea is a veteran team, their style is too conservative. King Team, on the other hand, has brought together many excellent players and has been putting in a good performance.”
Su Penghao nodded and concluded, “Hence, our first opponent will be Pea Team.”
Qiao Lian nodded. “That’s right.”
Sun Linan was puzzled by their conversation. “Your opponent? What do you mean?”
The two of them continued to ignore him as they focused on the match.
It progressed at an aggressive tempo.
The fans on both sides were cheering wildly, the roar of the crowd was thunderous.
But it was clear that the King Team had more supporters and they were a lot louder.
Throughout the whole arena, the people were chanting that King Team would conquer.
Sun Linan glanced at the approximately one hundred people nearby who were cheering for King Team until their voices were hoa.r.s.e.
He nodded satisfactorily.
Of course, King had to have the loudest cheers!
After all, he had paid good money to those one hundred people to be shouting there.
He had to make King Team appear extremely popular, so that when he could finally gift the team to Qiao Lian. It would look twice as good!
Picturing this scenario put Sun Linan in high spirits at once.
