When Xu Mu arrived at the arena, the first person he looked at wasn't the referee or his opponent. It was Xu Zhenzhen, seated high above in the judges' box!
"Aunt is here?"
Xu Zhenzhen was Xu Mu's fourth aunt and the richest person in the Eastern Lands.
After Mr. Zhao's downfall, Xu Zhenzhen had single-handedly carried the Eastern Lands' business world.
At this year's World Elite Four Tournament, she had taken a seat among the judges as its biggest sponsor.
Though called a judge, she was really a special guest who would offer a few comments on the contestants' performances.
They were usually people who didn't matter much.
A business magnate like Xu Zhenzhen normally wouldn't bother appearing on camera.
But this year was different. Her nephew Xu Mu was competing!
How could the beautiful Xu Zhenzhen not come watch her nephew's match in person?
"Here he comes! First into the arena is Xu Mu, from Fengcheng in the Eastern Lands!"
"Xu Mu won this year's Elite Four Challenge and came straight here to compete in the World Elite Four Tournament!"
"I'm sure Xu Mu needs little introduction. As the leading figure of the new generation, his record and abilities speak for themselves!"
"And Xu Mu's father, Lord Xu Feng, is currently fighting Team Rocket in the Borderlands. I'm sure everyone knows how brutal war can be!"
"Now, like father, like son! Let's see what Xu Mu has in store for us!"
The commentator was also the show's host.
Microphone in hand, he rattled off praise without stopping.
In the judges' box beside Xu Zhenzhen sat three middle-aged men.
Some were renowned Trainers from the Eastern Lands or Western Europe; others were former tournament champions.
One of them, a middle-aged man named Duanmu Yu, spoke with a faint smile.
