To the cheers of the 100,000 spectators in attendance, Wang Yi stepped out of the gold-plated Rolls-Royce Phantom, custom-made just for him.
Escorted by security guards on both sides, he walked with Tamim to the plaza.
At the center of the plaza, more than a hundred security personnel had cordoned off an open area.
They had all been hired from other countries.
After all, Qatar didn't have that many security personnel.
Within that open area, another section had been cordoned off by even more security guards. This was where celebrities and dignitaries from various countries would watch the unveiling ceremony.
Players from many countries had come to watch, including the players from Team America.
King Arthur wasn't among them. Given his grudge against Wang Yi, there was no way he would attend an unveiling ceremony for Wang Yi's statue.
Jalen Green looked at the statue concealed beneath an enormous golden cloth and shook his head.
"Is there really any need to build such a huge statue? Even God of Basketball Michael Jordan doesn't have one this big. What has he done to deserve a statue like this?"
Wemby chimed in, "Qatar sure went to a lot of trouble to suck up to Wang Yi. A statue this big must have cost several million dollars. Even if they're rolling in money, they shouldn't waste it like this."
Jalen Green curled his lip. "I bet Wang Yi was the one who asked them to build it this big. That guy's nothing but a show-off."
The American players all laughed.
Every one of them had been crushed by Wang Yi, so it was only natural that they harbored some resentment toward him.
Wang Yi arrived beneath the statue and gazed up at the golden-cloth-covered figure, which must have been more than thirty stories
