Spectators traveled thousands of miles to Kyoto to watch the match.
They filled the entire venue in no time.
Jin Dalong had also invited quite a few important figures. Among them was Hu Jiaxing, who had come both to watch his son's match and to meet his old rival, Esdeath!
Upon seeing Jin Dalong, Hu Jiaxing humbly took his hand and said, "Mr. Jin, it's been a long time!"
Jin Dalong was delighted to see Hu Jiaxing as well. In a booming voice, he said, "It certainly has, Jiaxing! You have a wonderful son. You've raised him so well. His strength and character are beyond reproach. Like father, like son!"
Hearing even Jin Dalong praise his son, Hu Jiaxing said happily, "He still has a long way to go, but he works hard. He has a bright future ahead of him."
Jin Dalong lowered his voice. "Look, your son is even helping you settle your old debts now. Esdeath is very strong!"
Hu Jiaxing gave a wry smile at that. "I never expected Binbin to end up facing Esdeath."
Jin Dalong said, "Once the match is over, you must have a talk with Esdeath. Someone with that kind of strength is very important to the Alliance."
Hu Jiaxing said, "Don't worry. I'll talk to Esdeath. It's time to settle things!"
Jin Dalong nodded.
The final was a grand affair. Jin Dalong had even brought in a commentator to talk everyone through this exciting battle.
