This perplexed Joseph as well; he couldn't quite grasp what exactly Li Ang was trying to convey—whether it was the absence of pressure or simply no hope left.
"Don't worry, you will win."
Joseph's voice reached Li Ang's ears, somewhat surprising him, "You have that much confidence in me?"
Joseph stubbornly retorted with a hint of pride:
"Of course, among all the contestants here, you are the only one who has beaten me. It would be nothing but normal for you to claim the championship."
"You really have a talent for live broadcasting; I believe you could shine brightly in that field."
"Hi, bro, I feel like that comment was a low blow. Don't I have any talent in this area?"
Li Ang smiled helplessly and turned to sit in the rest area for a while, as the final was scheduled for two hours later.
Joseph was still persistently saying:
"You must win! This concerns the safety of my ten thousand dollars!"
Only after he finished did Li Ang remember the betting.
