Chapter 156
Nathan’s lips curled into a slight smile. From one quick glance, he knew that Park Sehun was cheating.
He must be using some high-tech methods to get an expert to guide him from behind the scenes.
No wonder he regained that confidence of his after coming back from the bathroom.
But instead of exposing his opponent, Nathan resumed the match.
He looked nonchalant as usual and moved quickly. It was as though he was a master playing against a disciple.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Seoul, South Korea.
South Korean Go prodigy, Cho Bonghyuk, gathered inside the VIP room of a top-tier Go hall with a dozen other well-known South Korean Go players.
Cho Bonghyuk and the other experts were using high-technology equipment to watch Park Sehun’s match against Nathan Cross.
On top of that, the Go master, Cho Bonghyuk was personally advising Park Sehun on the latter’s moves.
Apparently, Park Sehun was Cho Bonghyuk’s disciple.
To Cho Bonghyuk, something as incredible as the Go game had to be invented by South Korean instead of the Chinese.
He was determined to announce to the world that Go was a South Korean invention.
In fact, he was the one who had arranged for Park Sehun to battle against China’s top Go players.
Cho Bonghyuk gazed at the board displayed on the screen, as well as Nathan Cross.
This young man looks rather familiar, but I can’t figure out where I’ve met him.
Nathan looked extremely serene and didn’t feel any pressure from the game at all. At times, he could even be heard singing a tune from a TV series.
Gazing at the match over the screen, Cho Bonghyuk calmly gave Park Sehun his instructions using a microphone.
The other Go experts grinned from ear to ear. “Hmph, I bet this Chinese brat has no idea that he’s actually playing against our Go master!”
“How long do you think that Chinese kid can put up with the South Korean Go master?”
“Hehehe, I’m guessing it’ll be over for that brat in less than ten moves.”
Cho Bonghyuk smiled faintly and remained composed. It’s a privilege for this Chinese brat to compete against a Go master like me. It is too bad he has no idea what is going on.
Both Nathan Cross and Cho Bonghyuk moved quickly.
Initially, Cho Bonghyuk looked relaxed, as though his victory had been secured.
But he couldn’t help but yelp in surprise after making a few moves. Nathan was much more skilled than expected that the older man began to get nervous.
Another several move later, he soon realized what kind of opponent he was up against. Veins began to appear on his forehead and he was in utter shock.
The air-conditioning made the entire VIP room feel cool and comfortable.
Yet, Cho Bonghyuk was drenched in sweat and no longer looked as relaxed as he was earlier. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Meanwhile, Nathan remained composed and continued to sing from time to time.
The group of South Korean Go players gazed at how nonchalant Nathan looked.
Then, they turned to Cho Bonghyuk, whose forehead was now full of sweat.
The men were dumbstruck. To think that our master is in such a state because of a plain Chinese man!
Cho Bonghyuk gave his best and unleashed every move he had up his sleeve.
Yet, all his struggles were in vain against Nathan’s immeasurable abilities.
It wasn’t long until Cho Bonghyuk suffered a crushing defeat.
The South Korean Go master slumped into his chair in despair.
At that very moment, the sound of Nathan’s cold laugh was heard on the screen. “Cho Bonghyuk, I defeated you easily in Jeju three years ago, but you’re here making a fool of yourself instead of practicing?”
Nathan’s words struck Cho Bonghyuk like lightning and a look of sheer terror formed on the latter’s face.
He had only lost once after being named South Korea’s Go master.
It happened three years ago on Jeju Island; he had lost to a nameless Chinese young man.
Back then, Cho Bonghyuk thought he would lose his title and reputation as the Go master after being defeated by that young man.
Unexpectedly, the young man never spoke of the incident at all and that allowed Cho Bonghyuk to keep his fancy title.
Three years had passed, he had practically forgotten about his defeat until Nathan Cross brought up the incident in public!
Cho Bonghyuk gazed at the tall and sharp-looking Nathan across the television screen. “It’s him. So it’s him after all,” he said, quivering.
“No wonder he looked familiar. This man, Nathan Cross, was the young man who had defeated me on Jeju Island three years ago!”
Cho Bonghyuk’s words caused the other South Korean Go experts to become speechless.
Meanwhile, Cho Bonghyuk’s blood pressure skyrocketed. He spewed a mouthful of blood before blacking out and falling to the ground...
“Master! What’s happened?” the other Go experts yelled in shock.
Meanwhile, back in Channing, China.
Luther Chuss cheered like a maniac over Nathan’s victory. “You’ve won!”
But at the same time, he couldn’t help but remind Nathan, “This guy is called Park Sehun, Mr. Cross. He’s not the South Korean Go master, Cho Bonghyuk. You’re mistaken.”
“I’m not mistaken,” Nathan replied with a smile. “I can still recognize Cho Bonghyuk’s style and moves until today. This fellow here has a tiny camera on his sunglasses and a mini headset shoved inside his
ears. Cho Bonghyuk was personally guiding him behind the scenes during our match.”
