Rock going against Anna. I will head over to watch it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana thought and then looked at Bunny, who was wiping away her tears, and then she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bunny, want to head over to the tournament hall to watch your sister’s match?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She answered with a sad tone and then grabbed Lady Diana’s hand, and they started walking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tournament Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of the quarterfinals, the place had been redecorated, and the sound of cheering and applause echoed throughout the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of having hundreds of tables scattered about, there were now only four tables in the center of it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chairs had been lined up near the edges of the hall for the spectators to use, with a clear view of all the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of spectators had gathered to spectate these matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t only players.

You mean win? I am not sure if you’ve forgotten about the purpose of this tournament, but you’re supposed to try your hardest to win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a twitching eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated this kind of victim mentality trying to make him look like some bad guy when he was just doing what everybody else was also doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was to try to win to the best of your ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Would they’ve preferred if I forfeited the match instead? I don’t get these twin sisters. They are lacking understanding of reality.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny just clicked her tongue and didn’t try to argue back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they pulled their chairs back and sat down with the General’s Game opening up in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the other table, Anna greeted the elderly man, and Rock rubbed his chin as he looked at the young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very well aware that Anna was Fang Raon’s sister, but he wasn’t planning to go easy on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then also sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the balcony above, Aizen, Raikou, and Raizen were looking down towards the hall, also watching the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen put a cigarette in his mouth and let out a long, slow exhale of smoke before leaning back in his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, are you sure that it is wise to smoke with your condition and all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou asked worryingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...This is just my avatar. It doesn’t affect me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen said with a twitching eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stunned at the sheer stupidity that his son, Raikou, was showing at times, as he didn’t understand how he could be so different from his other children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, yeah... That’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou awkwardly scratched the back of his head and let out an awkward chuckle as he completely forgot about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are some cute girls here. Maybe I should go talk with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raizen said as he flirtatiously moved his hand to adjust his hair and flashed a charming smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Another one of Raizen’s split personalities—this one is called Rizzen—with this personality, he becomes a charming playboy!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why can’t one of my children be fucking normal?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aizen rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the referee walked over to the four tables and started the game in all of them. The choosing soldiers phase started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What will Sunny go for? I think she has discussed with Bunny what she should do.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, so far, he had been a very reactive player, as he was only trying to counter his opponent’s strategy rather than make his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been doing that in every match so far, and sure, it had worked pretty well, but it was a risky strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he failed to calculate his opponent’s strategy, he would end up in a really bad position, and thus, most General’s Game players just usually go with their own plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t be a reactive player anymore. I need to play my own game. I’ve thought about several different strategies, and I know which one is best for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I do like the combo of Warrior, Tank, and Helper the most, but in this case, I want to do something else entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Alright... Let’s do this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon started pressing buttons on the holographic interface in front of him, and soon, he’d chosen his soldiers and assigned a class to each of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fang Raon’s Team]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tank - Skill: Intimidation]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ranger - Skill: Precision Shot]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mage - Skill: Earth Wall]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then pressed the \"Ready\" button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon noticed that Sunny was still thinking about what she should choose, and she was also looking directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like she was trying to peer into his mind to find out what he chose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Try reading my mind.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon stared back at her as if he were challenging her, and she squinted her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then scoffed and started pressing something on her interface, and soon she had also chosen her soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she also pressed ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[00:59...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[00:58...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countdown quickly ticked down and soon reached zero, and as soon as that happened, the holographic village appeared on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their soldiers appeared right in front of their towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She chose... Helper, Warrior, and Tank?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the combo that he liked the most, and she happened to choose the exact same one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be that she is also doing the same tactic?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he gave his orders to his soldiers, and they started running down the street towards the Red Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care about fighting to the death, but his intention was to destroy Sunny’s tower!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Sunny smiled, and her Helper jumped to the shoulders of the Tank, and they started running towards Fang Raon’s soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Warrior was also following behind the Tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s the exact same plan as well.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, it dawned on him what she was planning to do, and it honestly made him chuckle a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stole one of his plans since she couldn’t think of anything better by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Unfortunately for you, Sunny, that won’t be working against me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept moving his soldiers towards Sunny, even though they had quite opposite strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Sunny aiming to kill him in a frontal assault, it would be wise for Fang Raon to avoid clashing with her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a good counter for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the two small armies found each other in the village, and they kept charging at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tank Charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny ordered loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a rageful shout, her Tank started charging towards Fang Raon’s soldiers like a raging bull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Intimidation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon’s Tank released a deafening roar, and it stunned Sunny’s Tank—it stopped like a deer in the headlights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Precision Shot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ranger fired an arrow, and it flew past the Tank, and it came straight for the Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the Warrior lifted the shield and blocked the sudden arrow shot, but then more arrows came for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With quick speed, Warrior escaped into the alleyway for some cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment, his soldiers started running at full speed past Sunny’s soldiers and kept heading towards the Red Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go after them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny ordered angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tank finally shrugged off the effects of the Intimidation, and started running after Fang Raon’s soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were slower, and they wouldn’t be able to catch up to Fang Raon before his soldiers arrived at the Red Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s exactly going like I intended.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought with a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he heard an uncharacteristic groan from the table next to them, and he happened to look over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No way...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock was holding his head in his hands as he was racking his brains, trying to think of a plan to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile on her pretty face, Anna seemed to be enjoying her time as she was actually completely controlling the match against Rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Rock’s soldiers was already dead, and Anna was en route to his tower to destroy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock didn’t have any way to defend his tower either, so it looked like his loss was inevitable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Unbelievable...
