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.
