"No. It was not canceled. They just need to double-check it," Rocky immediately corrected.
"Ha-ha! Are you just trying to comfort yourself? You'd better expect the worse already. Otherwise, if you found out that you cannot make it to the next round, you will just be more disappointed," Gloria teased, trying to get Rocky's spirit down.
"Why does it sound like you don't want me to advance to the next round?"
"Of course! After all, you might be one of the biggest obstacles that I have to face in this contest if I want to win," Gloria replied with all honesty.
She knew how powerful Rocky was, and she assumed that he would be an even greater threat than Israel in the latter part of the tournament.

Even Israel won't be able to compete with him. If we can eliminate him first, then everyone else would be an easy target." From Drew's statement, it seemed that he really wanted to deal with Rocky as soon as possible.
"Don't worry. In fact, I already have a suspect in mind. However, it is still quite a long shot," Quentin said after thinking for a while.
"Really? Who is it?" Drew asked impatiently.
