Chapter 155 Everyone gazed at Nathan in shock.
âYou wanna go up against Park Sehun? Can you really do it, fella?
Even Channingâs top player, Luther Chuss, had just lost to him.
Hence, it was no surprise that the crowd didnât have much faith in Nathan.
This guy probably doesnât mind losing, but itâd be a huge problem if he had to end up declaring that Go was invented by South Korea.
Even Penny turned to Nathan in astonishment. âYou know how to play Go, Nathan?â
âJust a little,â Nathan smiled. âBut beating this joker will be a piece of cake.â
What Penny and the audience didnât know was that Nathan had learned to play Go since young and was especially gifted at it.
While in the North Army, Nathan used to compete against several top-class professional Go players and even Grandmasters.
In fact, he had never lost a single match.
Many even referred to him as a champion who was being held back by military duties.
A triumphant smile crept across Park Sehunâs face upon realizing that someone had fallen for his taunts and was going to have a match with him.
At this moment, his girlfriend, Zoe Jennings, appeared next to him and whispered, âThatâs him, Darling! Heâs the one who hurt my bodyguards and slapped me!â
Park Sehun squinted. âIâll avenge you.â
He smiled subtly as Nathan casually walked onto the stage. âYou want to have a match with me?â
âThatâs right!â Nathan said calmly.
âPathetic. We can duel, but if you lose, not only do you have to admit that my country invented Go. Youâll have to roll yourself out of here too. Are you up for it?â
Nathan brushed his hands across his sleeves. âBring it on!â
Shortly after, Nathan and Park Sehun sat across each other in front of a clean board.
Park Sehun asked Nathan, âBlack or white?â
Everyone looked at Nathan. Those who played Go understood that Black moved first and had an advantage.
If two equally skilled players competed against each other, Black would always be a better choice.
But Nathan didnât seem to take advantage of this. âIâm the host and youâre the foreign guest. Iâll let you go first,â he said calmly.
Park Sehun was rather surprised that Nathan didnât take him up on his offer, but instead let him move first.
He gladly picked up a black stone.
Clack! He placed his step.
Nathan picked up a white stone and casually placed it on the board in a composed manner.
The two men played extremely quickly. The next stone would be placed on the board immediately after the other person had moved.
Within just a short period of time, they had already made several dozen moves.
However, Park Sehun looked increasingly nervous.
He had never managed to gain any advantage over Nathan at all. In fact, things were only getting more and more challenging for him.
Iâm going to lose badly if I donât turn the tide!
Penny didnât know how to play Go, but she could observe the playersâ expressions.
She saw how calm and natural Nathan looked.
Meanwhile, Park Sehun was sweating profusely and looked disarrayed.
From that, Penny could tell that Nathan was dominating the game.
With a forehead full of sweat, Park Sehun suddenly called for a time-out. âAdjourn. I need to use the bathroom.â
Nathan gave him a glance and said calmly, âAlright.â
Park Sehun quickly left with a few subordinates and returned ten minutes later.
Upon returning, the man wore a pair of sunglasses. He was no longer nervous and it looked like he had regained his confidence too.
Nathan was slightly astonished. His confidence returned just after a bio break?
Looking carefully, something caught his eye.
There was an extremely tiny pinhole on Park Sehunâs sunglasses.
