Despite his despise towards Wang Tong, Porten tried to hide it from the others.
"Hehe, Brother Porten, Flash is a very talented student. He ought to be one of your most competent commanders, don't you think? "
"Brother Shiming, you have a soft spot for talents, which I understand. But look at him! There would be plenty of commanders like him, so no sense in putting all your eggs in one basket. I have heard that he needed a lot of money for the treatment of his sick mother. It's going to cost you a fortune, you know. You even allowed his game to disturb your critical close-door cultivation and troubled yourself to watch his game. But look what you got—a failure."
Li Shiming remained calm, "Brother Porten, it's not a distraction. I need to take a break too."
"Haha, I know what you are worried about, but fret not! I wager that even if Wang Tong were able to enter the final, he wouldn't be able to take home the title of Champion." Porten said with conviction.
