Qin Mo’s gaze turn cold and the air around him changed noticeably. His dark brows lifted, his face cold and taunt.

But right at that moment, the least sensitive member, Lin Feng, was seated beside him. He tilted his head, looking at Hoshino. “Judging by your previous words, you must really admire our Little Spade.”

Hoshino didn’t avoid the question, instead, he turned towards Bo Jiu and smiled faintly, his face ravishing. “Yes.”

The moment he replied, Qin Mo’s eyes darkened.

Lin Feng had more to say but could sense the coldness that was radiating from his captain. He sat back and hid his head.

But even if Lin Feng hadn’t asked, it didn’t mean the conversation had ended. Hoshino’s words seemed to be directed towards his own fans since the press was around. “I watch all of Spade Z’s matches and regardless of both his skills and personality, he is worthy enough of having a match with the Japanese. Likewise, I wish that Supreme Alliance can win the National League. The reason I am here visiting Supreme Alliance is for a match with him.”

For the vice-captain of the Japanese to hold Little Spade with such respect was an honor. Once the interview video was released, it would definitely help to reduce the number of anti-fans.

With Hoshino’s declaration, his fans would start to treat Spade Z as a worthy opponent.

More importantly, it was time for some people to restrain themselves as even Hoshino approved of Spade Z’s ability.

Those that defamed her, claiming she attained her fame through the CP pairing, would start to reassess their allegations, albeit unwillingly.

The Japanese held a substantial amount of power within the esports industry.

They were the strongest in Asia and had never lost a battle.

The video of Hoshino facing off against the Xiangnan team in a 1v3 was still available on the net.

As everyone knew how private he was, for him to compliment Spade Z so publicly, would dismiss all the unfounded gossip.

When the reporters realized how newsworthy this piece of information was, they immediately started a livestream.

They never expected Hoshino to admire a newcomer to such an extent.

Feng Yi sensed the danger of the topic. After a glance at his own boss, he diverted the topic in another direction. “We appreciate Mr Hoshino’s blessings and will continue to do well on the upcoming finals.”

“It seems like Supreme Alliance is rather confident,” You Sixin commented. Even though he was laughing, he gave off a dangerous panther-like vibe.

While he spoke, his eyes turned towards Qin Mo’s direction.

Hoshino was looking for a match against Spade Z while he was looking to face off against the legendary Three Thousand Knife Cutting skill and to experience exactly how amazing it was.

Watching other people compete could only give him the outsiders point of view, he would never understand its impact unless he had firsthand experience.

Qin Mo maintained a straight face under such an intense gaze. It seemed as though nothing You Sixin said could affect him.

You Sixin arched a brow, anticipating the match against the team Hoshino admired so much.

On one side, he wanted to know to fascination had towards them. On the other end, Qin Mo’s personal winning rate was higher than his.

Qin Mo was once a legend within the esports world.

He had expected a faceoff with him that year but somehow, Supreme Alliance didn’t even make it to the finals.

Hence, it had been an easy match for the Japanese.

Some of the seniors were even glad that Supreme Alliance hadn’t made it but, in You Sixin’s eyes, Hoshino was the one he was most interested in. As for Qin Mo, he was more suited as a rival.

You Sixin smiled. The reporters captured the moment before pulling the conversation back to Hoshino. “Almighty Hoshino, it seems like you haven’t interacted with Spade before despite all the admiration.”

Hoshino smiled. He held up his phone and showed them the screen. “I have been following him but Spade doesn’t follow me back. I’m still waiting.”

He had followed Spade? Why weren’t they aware?

The reporters started to doubt their abilities.

Unbeknownst to them, Hoshino only followed her before coming to the clubhouse so that her plans could unravel smoothly.

Bo Jiu was more than familiar with his style and immediately understood his thoughts. Even though they didn’t verbally communicate, their thoughts were well received with just a gaze.

Bo Jiu chuckled. “I don’t use Weibo often but I’ll follow you back right now.”

With that, she took out her phone, her long slender fingers tapping on the follow button.

And that simple exchange blew up the internet comment section, especially fans of Hoshino.

“My Almighty Hoshino followed someone that isn’t from his team, that isn’t logical!”

“Who is Spade Z? I have never heard of him before, is he from our country?”

“Let me search the net, he is the new player king in Zone C from China, the strongest newcomer from the Supreme Alliance team. Is Almighty Hoshino interested?”

“The one below, stop having weird thoughts, he probably did it out of courtesy.”

“When has Almighty Hoshino followed anyone out of courtesy? He didn’t even do it at the previous National League.”

“Look at the interview online, Almighty Hoshino says he wants to have a match with Spade Z.”
