Chapter 526 - 238: Amazon River
Next, the two paused their fishing, as the number of catches was identical, not needing a change of fish protectors, merely switching fishing spots to continue angling.
At that moment, Saito felt closer to victory than ever before, but after a few casts, he found the fishing conditions differed from what he had imagined!
After the switch, the float’s direction remained essentially unchanged from before. There were many small movements, but few bites, resulting in a low success rate.
However, as Lin Yang took Saito’s place, he easily caught a fish on his second cast. Soon after stabilizing a few more casts, he found the rhythm and began catching fish frequently again!
Over the next ten minutes, he averaged a fish a minute, ultimately fixing the score at 23:12 when time was up, nearly double the lead.
As the competition progressed, Saito had long since lost any expression, the succession of events today surpassing all his decades of fishing experience in the Amazon. If he started out brimming with confidence, and then lost it midway, by now he felt utterly devastated.
"So, how about it, Mr. Saito, got anything else to say?"
Lin Yang put down his fishing rod, washed his hands in a basin, then stood up while drying his hands with a towel.
Saito’s face was flushed with defeat. He had lost, time and again, not just this competition, but also all confidence in playing Heila.
