Intermission

The moment the lot drawing ended, Veigar stood up, leaving a shadow behind his burly frame.

Pressing down on his general hat, he snorted at the arena, then left the Shengxiang stadium without turning back.

Over at the Japan representatives' side, Kaori Karasawa was the only one left. She gently knocked at her chin with her clenched fists. Her rosy lips were slightly pouted, as if she had been bullied, but her eyes did not give away any emotions.

Stroking the bandage on his hand, Nanzheng's Banam turned and eyed Lou Cheng coldly, as if he was looking at some sort of dangerous prey. Then he strode along the walkway, and disappeared behind the doors.

Beside Lou Cheng, Ann Chaoyang had his headphones on again, immersed in the world of music. Ren Li peeked at Peng Leyun before taking a small step away from him, wanting to draw a clear line between friends and foes.

From this moment onward, we are no longer teammates!
