Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 358 Pre-Match Interlude
the other side.

In a semi-open stadium in the center of Bangkok.

Tennis balls were flying on various courts, and the sound of fierce hitting was endless.

Bang!
A tall, dark-skinned man with a calm complexion made a beautiful kill.

The tennis ball drew a golden light and suddenly appeared on the boundary line of the bottom corner.

"I lost again, Khun Paladong."

Opposite him, a young man about the same age as the tall young man with a darker complexion looked a little depressed.

Paladon Govabitud stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his neck and walked up with a smile.

"Cassidy, cheer up, your boy is making rapid progress."

As the leader of the Siamese team, he is really like a big brother who treats his juniors kindly. Paladong Govabitude patted the young man on the shoulder hard.

At this time, the second man of the Siamese team, Balabong Srichaphan, also walked in from the outside, and he also had a lot of information in his hand.

"Paladon, the Neon team has arrived, but they did not enter the hotel we arranged. They seem very wary. These are their information."

"It's expected. Who is their leader this time?"

Paladon took the information handed over by the other party and flipped through a few pages.

"It's the junior high school student who performed brilliantly at last year's World Championships. Not long ago, this junior high school student defeated the South Korean leader, and he struck hard. I heard that the South Korean leader's tennis career was probably ruined. !”

Speaking of this, Balabong Sri Chapan's face was very solemn, and he was obviously frightened by Zongyan's methods.

"No matter what, he is just a junior high school student. Even if he is strong, he cannot compare to Byodoin. But if he can become the leader, I am afraid that the Neon Team will entrust their future to him.
Tell me, should we..."

"Others have done it to us, why can't we do it to others? But it's not good for us to directly intervene in these things. We need to be picked clean, so let them deal with it."

Regarding Paladon's proposal, Balabon nodded to express his understanding, then gestured to the people who had been following him behind him, and then changed the focus of the topic like a normal person.

"It is said that Neon reached the quarterfinals of last year's World Cup, and he also played a big role. Will you play against him then?"

Hearing this slightly gossipy question, Paladon Govabitud responded with a smile on his face:

"Since you said that the other party is responsible for them reaching the top eight in the world, then of course I am interested as the only junior high school student team leader in the top eight in the world."

After the communication, the two returned to the court again.

The boy who had been sparring with Paladon before was now practicing multi-ball combos alone. As his trainer's ball speed increased, he gradually began to adapt and his movements became more and more agile.

Paladong and Balapong's eyes lit up. This young player is only in the first grade now. When they leave, the other player will become the future of the Siam team.

Seeing that the other party has made such great progress, Paladon and Baraporn were very pleased, and the corners of their mouths curved slightly:
"Cassidy, you have to integrate into actual combat to play multiple balls. Come train with the two of us!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the captain's voice, the boy who was practicing on his own quickly responded happily. Seeing his treatment, the other members of the Siamese team were envious.

……

Two days passed in a flash.

In addition to taking a group of team members to inspect the competition venue, Saeki Munuhiko spent the rest of his time in the room studying Siam team information.

In addition to the information that Irie Kanata forwarded to him on the plane on the first day, after arriving at the hotel, a lot of more detailed information came from Mitsuya.

After being sorted out by Mitsugu, the information on everyone in the Siam team was very detailed.

In Saeki Munuhiko's room.

Putting down the character analysis report in his hand, Zongyan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Tomorrow is the points competition. Our preparations should be enough."

"Saeki-kun, this is your first time as a team leader. Once you get familiar with many things, it will be fine. And this time is just a special case. Byodoin took away all the troops, so this problem will arise."

Opposite me, Irie Kanata put down the materials in his hands and glanced at him calmly.

"Zongyan, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and haven't you analyzed it before?" Tokugawa also reassured.

During this period of time, he has been following Munuhiko Saeki, and he can understand the responsibility that the other party bears.

Especially when they don't have a U17 coach to follow them, Zongyan needs to make his own decisions for everything.

It can be said that now all the team members are paying attention to Saeki Munuhiko's every move.

As the fully responsible captain, any small oversight will have an impact on the outcome of the game, so he has no choice but to be picky.

"Fortunately, Irie-senpai and Tokugawa-senpai help me check."

Zong Yan took a sip of the tartary buckwheat on hand, soothed his brows and said bitterly: "It's just that the various tricks in Siam have made me a little too sensitive."

Zongyan only participated in one world competition last year and has not experienced the expedition points competition.

He originally thought it would be similar to when he was leading the team in junior high school, but being in a foreign country and having to constantly be on guard against any opponent's methods really made him feel tired.Although the opponent's methods are not fatal, they are almost frightened in terms of food, water, being followed when they go out, etc.

Nowadays, people no longer dare to eat hotel food directly. They only dare to choose random dining places temporarily. Of course, these are just small tricks.

"Fortunately, we are not going to South Korea, and there is no hatred between us and Siam Tennis. They just conduct some routine harassment, which is not serious."

Irie Kanata paused for a moment, adjusted his glasses, and his eyes were cold: "Of course, it may be that the other party is confusing and misleading us. The current calmness on the surface is just to exert force at the most critical moment."

With his amazing eyesight, he had already noticed that there were two people who frequently visited the hotel where they were staying recently, and they were probably the ones who had been monitoring them.

Comparing the information sent by Mitsugu, he easily saw through the other party's disguise and discovered that they were two U17 members of the Siamese team.

"The critical moment? Is it tonight?" Tokugawa raised his eyebrows. He heard the key to Irie Kanata's words.

Munehiko Saeki tapped his fingertips on the coffee table, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It might be tomorrow morning. Only the period between tonight and tomorrow before the start of the game is the best time."

"It's not like what happened to Siam and others in Bharat, they also want to use it on us, right?"

As they experienced and dealt with these things together in the past few days, Tokugawa also gained an understanding of the dark side of the world. At this time, he thought of what happened to the Siamese team before, and a bold guess emerged in his mind.

Hearing this, Zongyan and Irie Kanata were quite calm: "They disturbed sleep and then administered medicine... As long as it works, they shouldn't mind."

"Then we just passively wait for them to come?"

"No, passive defense is not my style."

Compared with the various plans discussed with Irie, Zongyan was not satisfied. At this time, Zongyan wanted to take the initiative:

"Since senior Irie has identified the other party's people and they think we don't know, then we can use this hidden information gap to strike first!"

"Be the first to strike first?"

Irie Kanata glanced at Zong Yan blankly, as if he didn't expect him to be so decisive. Then he seemed to think that this was indeed a good way to solve hidden dangers, and his eyes lit up.

Hearing what Saeki Munuhiko said, Tokugawa's expression also changed slightly: "Are we going to call the others over?"

"Of course, the three of us cannot perfectly solve such a matter."

With a solution in hand, Zong Yan showed a smile on his face: "And we still need to make some preparations. At least find the other party's room and temporarily close it, or turn around the surveillance!"

Seeing Zongyan talking eloquently, both Irie and Tokugawa were silent for a moment.
Then Irie's eyes lit up when he heard it. This was the first time he had done such a thing. The previous expedition with Oni Jujiro was not so exciting.

After Zongyan temporarily dealt with the surveillance on his room on their floor, Tokugawa also called everyone to his room.

Irie told everyone the plan.

After hearing the plan, everyone looked at Munuhiko Saeki in surprise.

"Ahem, wouldn't it be good for us to do this?"

Fupo Tetsujin and Ping Shanzhi thought about it and were still a little worried.

"Haha, seniors, we are just taking precautions and solving safety hazards in advance."

"Well, since you are the commander-in-chief, we will listen to your arrangements."

15 minute later.

Saeki Munuhiko and Irie Kanata brought the excited neon team members to a corner room, which was the room of the Siam team members after he confirmed it.

"Ding dong, ding dong."

Then Zongyan rang the doorbell gently.

Someone in the room shouted in Siamese: "Who is it?"

As he said that, he heard the sound of shoes mopping the floor and opened the door.

In an instant, the neon team members at the door squeezed in. Such a movement stunned another member of the Siamese team in the room who was watching the surveillance.

Then under their horrified eyes, Zong Yan organized people to control them.

And under questioning, they actually revealed their plans to drug him and interfere throughout the night.

This made the Neon team break into a cold sweat.

"Two friends from the Siam representative team, let's have a friendly exchange between our two teams tonight and invite them to our newly opened room."

Seeing the panicked looks in their eyes, Zong Yan smiled coldly: "Don't worry, our exchange activities will end early tomorrow morning. You just have to enjoy the TV show for one night."

……

ps: "The monthly ticket needs to be updated on the weekend. We are too busy during the week, so there is nothing we can do. If it reaches [-] on the weekend, we will add two more updates at that time!"
