On the big screen, the conditions of the fifteen chess tables flashed by one after another, and the crowd watched intently, their hearts filled with regret that spread uncontrollably.

If they had known it would be this intense, they definitely would not have missed such a thrilling competition…

"This young man, just who is he a disciple of…"

"Brilliant, simply brilliant."

Everyone seriously watched the combat displayed on the screen, clapping in admiration despite some disbelief, yet the reality was right in front of their eyes.

Xu Fan's chess skills surpassed everyone present by a head.

Even so, today's event would surely become a legend within the chess circle.

"Ah…"

Merely from the solemn expression on the faces of many South Korean players at the moment, it was analyzable who the eventual winner would be.

Feng Huang stood behind the crowd, unable to stop herself from shaking her head with a wry smile.

On the stage, Xu Fan, who was seriously competing, still shone brilliantly; his charm was undeniable no matter where he went.

"It really is Oppa…"

With a smirk, Feng Huang shrugged her shoulders and then left.

Before long, pressed by Xu Fan's aggressive chess style and left gasping for breath, fifteen players were reduced to just a few.

They raised the white flag, one after another, to declare their surrender.

To continue the struggle held no meaning, they didn't want to resist senselessly any longer.

Gradually, only Piao Yegi was left.

Looking at the hopeless game before him, Piao Yegi's face turned complex.

In all these years, he had never lost so badly…

What made him feel even more ashamed was that his opponent hadn't even taken him seriously.

To him, he seemed not even worthy…

"Piao Yegi, face the reality."

"Stop messing around in Go; it's not for you."

Xu Fan could imagine what Piao Yegi was facing playing chess against him.

This level of crushing defeat would certainly leave deep psychological scars in the heart of this arrogant genius.

As for whether he regretted it?

The answer was clearly no.

Just now, that guy's insults to Huaxia's Go were still ringing in Xu Fan's ears.

Watching him with a crestfallen appearance, Xu Fan's lips curled up as he said, "Alright, don't waste my time."

"Go back where you came from."

"…"

Piao Yegi opened his mouth but found he had no strength to refute.

Victory and defeat have been the unchanging truths through the ages.

Now, he could only leave this place, defeated and disgraced.

"Heh, Korean stick, dared to clamor in Huaxia? Serves you right!"

"See if you dare to pose again!"

Finally, this Sino-Korean showdown ended thrillingly but without peril, the shouts of excitement continued among the crowd as they watched this group of Koreans leave the venue.

"Xu Fan, thank you…"

Under the guidance of Elder Kang, Xia Yanyu walked towards Xu Fan.

She didn't know how to express her gratitude towards Xu Fan.

If it weren't for his stepping forward at this critical moment, she might have only been humiliated by Piao Yegi today.

"Alright, don't mention these useless things."

Xu Fan waved his hand, it was just another chess game, he hadn't taken it to heart at all.

Glancing around now, Feng Huang was nowhere to be seen; probably, she had left while he was still playing the game.

Had this woman given up?

"Mr. Kang, could I take a look at the prize for first place?"

Feng Huang had come to Huaxia specifically for this first place prize.

Whether commissioned by someone or acting on his own volition, Xu Fan did not know, but he wanted to see what it was.

"Hehe, naturally, that's no problem, young man, follow me."

Today, Xu Fan had earned a victory for the Huaxia chess players, and as the undisputed champion, even giving him the item would be fine.

Mr. Kang laughed heartily and then led Xia Yanyu and Xu Fan toward the depths of the Black and White Chess Club.

"Teacher, this..."

The deepest part of the chess club was a personal chess room that once belonged to Xia Hengzhou.

Being brought here, Xia Yanyu felt somewhat puzzled.

After her father had disappeared years ago, this chess room had been closed off.

Only she, roughly every month, would personally clean the dust inside.

The items inside had been moved out long ago; logically, there should be nothing valuable left...

"You'll see soon."

Mr. Kang smiled and then took out a key, opened the door, and led them inside.

Although the chess room hadn't been used for many years, it was still clean and tidy.

This was no small part thanks to Xia Yanyu's efforts; what should have been done by servants, she chose to do herself.

As a child, Xia Hengzhou had taught her chess in this room. She seemed to recall some past memories, and Xia Yanyu's expression grew somber.

"Young man, just wait a moment."

Mr. Kang said this and then moved forward.

Xu Fan nodded.

The item must have been hidden in some secret compartment, very discreet.

After calculating for a while, Mr. Kang knocked four times on a wooden floor panel in a pattern of short, short, short, long.

Following that, he pressed his palm down lightly, and the wooden floor panel sprang up.

It was visible that beneath the floor, there was a hidden compartment, from which Mr. Kang carefully took out a bronze box and walked over to Xu Fan and Xia Yanyu.

"This... what is this?"

Seeing the box, Xia Yanyu immediately covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes reddening as she began to cry.

The box was not precious and even appeared somewhat worn, Xu Fan discreetly glanced at Xia Yanyu, thinking that this object must have special significance to her.

"Father always forbade us from touching it..."

This box, since they were young, she and her sister had never touched.

Xia Yanyu was always curious, never trying to open it; her naughty sister tried several times to secretly open it to peek inside, but was scolded by their father until she cried.

Now, looking at the box in front of her, many memories surfaced, leaving Xia Yanyu unable to stop her tears.

"Silly child, go ahead and take a look."

"You should know, your father has always been waiting for this day."

Mr. Kang smiled and shook his head, then handed over the bronze box to Xia Yanyu.

"Hmm..."

Xia Yanyu swallowed her sobs, took the box, sat down, and carefully opened it using the key attached to it.

The secret that had puzzled her for over a decade was finally about to be revealed, and Xia Yanyu felt both fear and excitement.

What had her father left for her?

Xu Fan was also curious.

Feng Huang had traveled thousands of miles to Huaxia for this box.

The size of the box indeed could contain many items. Watching Xia Yanyu slowly open the box, Xu Fan couldn't help but speculate.

Could it be that this box contained a treasure worth over a hundred million?

"This..."

Finally, what was inside the box came into Xu Fan's view...
