After saying these words to Number One, Martin Bode left.
He didn't stay and chat with the others. This was because this rigid, serious, and unreasonable old man didn't seem to have a deep personal relationship with others other than work. This was probably the embodiment of his principle of not favoring others for personal gain.
Similarly, as the Executive Vice President of the World Telecommunications Association headquarters, the second most important person in the Telecommunications Association after Chairman Lance, he had specially made a trip to Manchester this time because of the weight of the honorary consultant team. They needed a senior executive of his level to oversee it.
After this matter, he would have to rush back to London and continue his busy work.
Looking at the back of the old man leaving, even Number One and the others couldn't help but show some respect on their faces.
This person …
This was the true eSports person who gave all of his blood, sweat, and tears to eSports.
He was serious, rigid, and unreasonable. Perhaps on a normal day, people couldn't help but criticize him in private.
However, it was precisely because of this kind of old man that the new professional eSports industry was truly supported. Even the so-called Hall of Fame legends like them, the so-called Honorary Consultant Group, could only be regarded as the younger generation, receiving the care and shadow of these old people.
"Sir Martin is right."
Number Five said softly.
Number Four adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes flickered slightly. "Yes, next … is the real test."
Although today they had successfully and smoothly defeated the plans of Crow, Li Daozai, and the others, and even seized the opportunity to take control of the Honorary Consultant Group in one fell swoop.
All of this was just the beginning.
Defeating their opponents was nothing.
Because the things they had to work hard to achieve next, the things they had to work hard to achieve, the grand and magnificent blueprint, the real biggest challenge … came from themselves.
"Any step from now on, I can't make the slightest mistake —"
Even Number One couldn't help but sigh slightly. Today's Honorary Consultant Meeting seemed to be dangerous and frightening, but in reality, under the situation where he was already prepared, he could easily and smoothly resolve the situation. As for the grand blueprint for the future, even he couldn't say that he had full confidence in it.
Now, this step had been taken.
But that didn't mean that he could be careless about any of the following steps.
In other words, even though they had overturned the nine motions put forth by Crow and the others in today's meeting, it seemed like they had secured all the benefits. However, if they didn't put in their best efforts to implement every single one of the nine motions, what awaited them in the end would still be the collapse of the skyscraper. Their plan would be for naught.
"Moreover, that damned crow and the others won't let this matter rest."
Number Three narrowed his eyes and spoke.
Indeed.
Although Number One had casually made a judgment that after today's meeting, Crow and the others, who had suffered a serious setback, would probably stay put for a while, but that was only on the surface.
However, it didn't mean that the Shadow Crow, who was said to be flawless in the previous generation, would be willing to give up.
On the surface, they could stop.
However, a new round of arrangements in the dark might have already begun at this time.
But in fact, this was nothing.
Number One shook his head.
"Let that damned crow do whatever he wants. I do hope that he will walk this path to the end because of his morbid confidence and scheming mentality. He won't cause us any trouble."
Number Two next to him spoke coldly.
"He only wants to stab someone in the back, but he's lost the courage to fight a head-on battle."
"That damned crow lost because of this. He still hasn't figured it out even now."
"Serves him right."
It was an unrestrained and sarcastic comment.
To be honest, in the previous generation, Number Two was slightly inferior to Crow in terms of strength. However, in the most thrilling battles, Number Two had the upper hand more than once. He won against someone stronger than him, which made countless people in the esports circle feel that it was inconceivable. The reason … was actually this.
His strength was slightly inferior, but he could use his fierce courage and determination to move forward to make up for it.
However, he was always obsessed with scheming and ignored the purest essence of being a professional esports player, which meant that it was difficult for him to win.
…
Number Four reached out to adjust the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"So —"
"The most troublesome ones are probably Li Daozai and the others."
No. 1 grunted in acknowledgement and nodded. "After today … even without M's persuasion, I reckon that fellow would have learned his lesson and come to understand. If that fellow were to return to his original path, he would indeed be quite the threat."
Number Five continued.
"Also, we can't underestimate Crow and the others."
"After one or two more times, they will also come to their senses and understand."
"When that time comes, we will need to prepare even more."
Number Three stretched his back.
"Sigh."
"Anyway, to put it bluntly, we still have a few tough battles to fight."
Number Two sneered. "Who are we afraid of?"
Chu Fang Nan, who was listening by the side, keenly caught some of the information in their conversation. It also made the Vice President of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association change his expression slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
"Number One, don't tell me you guys …"
He originally thought that this honorary consultant meeting was the most important and crucial time for these people to personally take action.
But now it sounded like …
It didn't seem like what he thought at all. Vaguely, it seemed like a more magnificent and breathtaking scene of the future was already faintly discernible.
Seeing the surprised expression on Chu Fangnan's face, Number One laughed. Then, he suddenly changed the topic.
"Originally, I thought that the new generation wouldn't have a chance, and there was no need for us old guys to come out and do things."
"But just now —"
"I was taught a lesson by a young man."
"Indeed, I might have been wrong about some things."
Number One paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"Esports has only been around for a short time. Everyone is just feeling the stones to cross the river. There isn't much experience or precedent that can be used as a reference."
"A lot of things were just my personal thoughts and judgments at the beginning. I thought that the new generation should be left to the young fellows of the new generation to work hard on their own, but I neglected one thing, which is that while the training of the young fellows is important, they also cannot do without the help of the old guys like me."
"If it's just to train the younger generation … but I forgot that the new seedlings may die prematurely in the face of a fierce storm alone. This is neglecting the essentials."
"I did something stupid before."
Number One sighed with emotion. Number Five next to him gently held his fiancé's hand as if comforting him.
"It's not too late to make up for it now."
Number One nodded.
"Yes."
"Fortunately, it's not too late to mend the pen after the sheep is lost."
"Of course, we still can't put aside the matter of training the little guys."
"But before these little guys can really grow up and be independent — as their seniors, we have the obligation to do our best to protect and escort them."
At this time, the meaning of the message revealed in the words was more specific and conclusive.
Chu Fangnan subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air. His heart was filled with great surprise. He widened his eyes and looked at Number One excitedly and expectantly.
"So —"
"Are you sure?!"
Number One nodded.
"Yes, I'm sure."
As he spoke, he looked at the other companions beside him and raised his eyebrows.
"If I do a simple calculation, there will be at least three tough battles among the nine motions today."
Number Three let out a long laugh.
"Three battles?"
"Then we'll fight!"
