Chapter 1275: End Game (15)
The interpreter wiped away the imaginary droplets that had formed on his forehead and hesitated. Then in a careful and measured tone, he started, “King doesn’t feel that he’s a strong player, but rather that the opponent was too weak. In country H, players like them get hung and whipped.”
This remark created a sudden uproar among the audience.
Initially, the crowd had been divided in different groups.
Every group had the fans of a particular petitive team, and the fans would chase after their selected teams with much fervor, just like how Qiao Lian and her team were now surrounded by the team’s fans asking for autographs and selfies.
But now, everyone in the audience had fallen silent. They had turned simultaneously to look at the person on the stage.
Because of the great distance between the stage and the audience, they couldn’t see the faces of the people on stage. Hence, everyone was looking at the big screen.
From the big screen, they could see King’s innocent-looking face. He was staring ahead and had made the remark very calmly, as though it wasn’t a personal attack.
He looked too decent and sounded too respectful, so everyone at once looked at the interpreter with suspicion in their eyes. Their first thought was that the interpreter had made a mistake.
The host was visibly stunned as well, given how derogatory the remark was.
Clearing her throat, she asked again, “What was that you just said?”
King paused for a moment before saying a string of foreign words. He even covered his mouth with his hand, putting on a panic-stricken expression.
The interpreter said, “Did I say something wrong? I do apologize. I didn’t know, it wasn’t a personal attack. I just wanted to say that PC, China’s champion last year, is actually a little weak. Obviously there are flaws in their team coordination. In country H, this wouldn’t happen for sure. So that was all I meant.”
It was amazing how the interpreter had exceptionally interpreted his words.
Every sentence was a true reflection of the man’s attitude at present.
The host frowned and said after a moment, “May I ask then, King, why did you even leave your own country to e to China?”
King contemplated the question for a moment and then answered, “Because I’m getting old and my hands are suffering from previous injuries, hence I had to retire in country H, so I thought of ing to China to further my career.”
Another great truth that revealed an issue.
That meant that his playing standards weren’t meeting expectations in country H, and that was the reason he had e to China.
The host’s expression clouded over immediately and he said, “King, what are your thoughts of China?”
King smiled and said, “I really like it here. The team members are obedient. In country H, my teammates were too arrogant and they didn’t take my advice.”
What the man was implying was that his teammates were subservient.
The SX team members were obviously upset upon hearing this.
King, on the other hand, didn’t seem to realize the effect of his words and looked pletely nonchalant and innocent.
The host laughed and replied, “I do feel that, King, you should learn the art of speech from the Chinese. In addition, I think you should further examine our eSports industry, you’ll see that it’s not as simple as you think.”
Having said this, she looked away from the man and shifted her attention to the screen, saying, “Alright, we’ve e to the end of the interview.”
