Chapter 171: 16. Dungeon Break
“Um, Guildmaster Kwon Taehyuk.”
A staff member opened the waiting room door with a worried look.
“I think it’s time for you to head out.”
Current time: 8:52 PM. It had already been 22 minutes since the match was scheduled to begin.
The commentators had been stalling with opening chatter, but even that had reached its limit. Kwon Taehyuk swallowed a sigh and replied with a calm face.
“I’ll go now.”
His opponent, Cover, never showed up. The waiting room prepared for Cover remained completely empty.
Following the staff member, Kwon Taehyuk stepped out and walked down the hallway toward the arena.
Although the match had been canceled due to Cover’s absence, the spectators still didn’t know that. Kwon Taehuk would have to go up to the stage himself and announce that the match was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.
Since the event was hosted by Yesung and he was both their representative and the match’s contestant, it was only proper that he address the audience himself.
The spectators came all this way only to return without seeing a thing—of course they’d be disappointed. Some might even blame Kwon Taehyuk directly.
There were no ticket refund issues since entry was first-come-first-served, but even so, the whole situation left a bitter taste in his mouth.
