Chapter 157
Upon hearing Nathan’s words, Luther Chuss was surprised, delighted and furious at the same time!
He was surprised because Park Sehun had the nerve to cheat and delighted because Nathan had actually defeated South Korea’s Go master, Cho Bonghyuk.
However, he was furious because a South Korean had used such underhand and shameless methods just to win the game.
Every Chinese citizen at the venue was filled with rage. They instantly snatched Park Sehun’s sunglasses, mini headset and other devices used to cheat.
“How dare you cheat!? It’s just too bad that even your Go master is no match to Mr. Cross!”
“It’s time to deliver your promise. Tell everyone which country invented Go!” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Looking completely despondent, Park Sehun lowered his head and said, “I admit that Go was invented by the Chinese!”
Luther Chuss and the rest of the audience cheered and gazed at Nathan in admiration.
Park Sehun looked beaten and crestfallen and he was trying to sneak away.
But Nathan called out to him. “Wait! You forgot something.”
The thousands of audience chimed in. “He’s right. You said the loser would have to roll themselves out of here.”
“You can’t just walk now. Roll yourself out!”
Park Sehun turned livid and shouted at Nathan, “Don’t go too far, or I’ll make a complaint to the embassy!”
At this moment, Nathan noticed that Thomas Dunn had shown up with a group of men.
“Thomas, this fellow here is being a sore loser. Help him out and teach him how to roll out of here!”
“Yes, sir!” Thomas Dunn said with a grin.
With a gesture, some of the men next to Thomas walked over to Park Sehun aggressively.
It wasn’t long until the South Korean man was beaten to the ground and rolled down the stage...
The joker, Park Sehun, was chased out of Children’s Activity Center along with his nameless celebrity girlfriend.
William Harrison and Luther Chuss walked over to Nathan, commending his Go skills and morale. Nathan had helped to restore the nation’s honor and teach that joker a lesson!
Penny carried her daughter as she watched everyone praised Nathan. Her heart was filled with pride.
Many often looked down on her husband. They would either call him a jobless bum or a man who lived off his wife.
Now that everyone around Nathan was showering him with admiration, Penny couldn’t help but wanted to tell off those relatives who used to mock Nathan, look at how incredible my man is!
Their daughter, Queenie, was overwhelmed with joy and excitement too. The way she looked at Nathan was as if the words ‘My Dad is the Best’ were written on her forehead.
Luther Chuss, who was dressed in a tunic, said to Nathan with a smile, “Your Go skills are formidable, Mr. Cross. You threw that South Korean clown into complete chaos. That was simply amazing.”
Nathan smiled faintly. “I took him up on his challenge on a whim. Fortunately, luck was on my side and I didn’t end up humiliating our country.”
“You’re too humble, Mr. Cross. I saw it clearly. You were unstoppable, just like a general leading an army of millions. Every obstacle you faced was like nothing but a flea. Your abilities are equal to that of a Grandmaster’s. You’re being modest by saying it was due to luck.”
“I’m really just average. I came to the Children’s Activity Center to sign my daughter up for Go lessons. I want to find her a teacher.”
Luther stared at Nathan in bewilderment. Do such low-profile peoples till exist today?
Someone like Mr. Cross is calling himself average?
But Luther knew from Nathan’s performance earlier that the latter’s abilities were of world standard.
Luther himself was already a formidable player, but it would be difficult for him to continue improving without a good opponent to play against.
He wanted to stay connected with Nathan, and so he took the chance to speak after hearing that the young man was looking for someone to teach his daughter. “Haha! Your talent is irreplicable, Mr. Cross. But you must be so busy with work that you don’t mind, I’d be willing to take her as my disciple and teach her.”
Nathan agreed without any hesitation. “Sure!”
With that, Luther Chuss took Queenie as his disciple. The man had a Go club in Channing called Square Inch.
From then on, Queenie would head over to the club to learn Go during holidays.
......
Luther Chuss was a renowned figure, so taking in Queenie as a disciple was not a small matter. Nathan had to treat the man to an extravagant meal.
Nathan’s family, along with Thomas Dunn, took Luther Chuss and William Harrison to a restaurant called the Moreish.
They dined in a large private room and Luther personally selected an array of dishes. He even asked the manager to bring out a bottle of 30-year-old Maotai liquor.
Luther was in a good mood and he declared, “This isn’t a treat for the master; this is a meal to celebrate the receiving of a new disciple. It’s on me today and don’t you ever try to fight for the bill, or I’ll get mad!”
From the old man’s serious expression, everyone knew he meant what he said.
Nathan smiled faintly for he knew that the dishes and alcohol Luther ordered weren’t cheap.
Luther didn’t want to burden Nathan’s family so he had declared from the start that he was paying for the meal. He didn’t want them to think he was taking advantage of them.
Nathan had an extremely good impression of the old man because of this small gesture.
The food was served shortly and two bottles of 30-year-old Maotai were opened up as well.
“Here’s to Mr. Chuss for accepting a new disciple! Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Everyone stood up and clinked their glasses. Even Penny raised her glass and drank a little.
However, Nathan frowned as he lifted his glass.
Luther and the others froze when they saw Nathan’s expression.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Cross?” Luther asked in confusion.
Nathan shook his head slightly and said, “Nothing. It’s just that there’s something wrong with this liquor.”
