Chapter 1274 - End Game (14)

His teammates were now focused on the match at the event venue, they couldn’t be by his side at all.

Qiao Lian suddenly realized that King had probably chosen this as a timely opportunity to create a scene with Bamboo here.

Prince was a person with clout in Suzhou and besides, if he had partnered with Bamboo for so many years, they had to have a good relationship. If Prince had been here, he would have surely protected Bamboo.

King wanted to catch Prince off-guard, so that once the decision to suspend Bamboo was made, it would be too late for him to intervene.

Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes as she looked at these people in front of her.

She wanted to dash up to them to tell them that Bamboo had had no intention of hitting or fighting with King, but her words would not hold any weight now.

Because King had already sent someone to retrieve the recording.

Although the recording did not include audio, it showed how Bamboo had suddenly gotten agitated and taken a step towards King with his hand raised. From that angle, it did look like he had been about to make a physical attack.

The workers immediately assessed that Bamboo had indeed been instigating a fight and, accordingly, reported this matter.

In the meantime, the current match that Prince’s team was playing in was extremely concerning. It had gone on for more than an hour, with no end in sight.

Eventually one of the opponent’s players was caught making a very small misstep, so PC Team was able to win the team battle and destroy the opponents. At the same time, they took the opportunity to crush the enemy’s nexus.

While they were celebrating this success, however, Prince received a notification from the competition management.

Bamboo had been suspended for a season.

When the team members learnt of this, they hung their heads, downtrodden and listless at once.

Of course this incurred Prince’s wrath. He looked for King to dispute the matter.

King did not dare to get into a direct confrontation with Prince, so he only smiled and said nothing.

Players were forbidden to get into any sort of scuffles or fights during the competition. No exceptions were made.

Hence Prince didn’t get anywhere with King, given this sort of reaction.

Following this, SX Team won yet another match under the King’s leadership.

King indeed deserved the international top player title he used to hold. As a newly formed fighting team, the coordination among the SX team members was mediocre at best, however under King’s lead, they simply became quite invincible.

King’s maneuvering skills were extremely fluent, one could say he and Prince were on par.

As expected, King clinched the Best of the Match Award.

Traditionally, the winner of the Best of the Match Award would be interviewed by the media after the event.

However, Qiao Lian expressed that she had no interest in listening to what this particular Best of the Match Award winner had to say.

Following the members of CQ Team, Qiao Lian stood to leave. Unfortunately, the moment they got onto their feet, they were swamped by fans.

Hence they were stuck and could not get out.

At the same time, the host on stage started to interview King.

The host asked, “King, you were once awarded the international Best of the Match Award. Is there a difference between the interview then and now?”

King’s smile was extremely bashful and, because he was good looking, the smile came across authentic and warm. He replied in his native tongue and the interpreter said, “King says he’s very glad. There’s no difference.”

The host smiled and asked the next question, “Well then, King, before the match, did you think that you would win?”

King spoke a string of words again, but this time, the interpreter was stunned.

The host looked at the interpreter, and King also looked at the man with a wide smile on his face.
