Defeated by an Ordinary Pokémon Again?

"How long until news comes from the country?"

The team leader shook his head. "I don't know. If things go quickly, today. If not..."

The team leader did not finish his sentence, but Gondegma understood what he meant.

If things went slowly, the news might not arrive before the knockout stage ended.

But he was eager for Revenge now, and he wanted to eliminate Tang Yunqin directly in the knockout stage.

After defeating Tang Yunqin, he would see just how strong she was.

If she was strong, he would have the silver-haired youth ranked third in the United States and Lilian take the field.

One was ranked third in the United States, the other fourth. Beating her should not be a problem.

Of course, if Tang Yunqin was not that strong, then he could just send his underlings into battle. There would be no need to owe two favors.

Lose one match, and half the points would be gone. Lose another, and he would be on the brink of elimination.

If he lost a third match, then at this point in time, there was an eighty percent chance he would be eliminated outright.

It was not only Dragon Nation's data team calculating every contestant's points. The data teams of other countries were doing the same.

So Gondegma knew how many matches Tang Yunqin would have to lose before she was eliminated.

And if the blond youth ranked first in the United States had not already entered his twenty-four-hour status, he might have chosen to owe him a major favor and let him take action instead. That would have been safer.

Once the twenty-four-hour status ended, one could advance directly without accepting challenges, but one also could not challenge any other contestants.

So Gondegma's two candidates could only be placed later.
