The Go salon hung in hushed anticipation, soft light carving deep shadows across the intricate board. Yu Liang sat rigid, his fingers tapping a restless rhythm against the wood. He had come early, driven by the promise of facing Shi Guang again. Time dragged; the clock’s tick mocked his stillness. His gaze darted from the door to the timepiece, anxiety tightening his chest. Memories of their last clash—Shi Guang’s determined eyes, his daring moves—fueled a mix of frustration and worry. The empty chair across from him felt like an accusation. Unable to bear the silence, Yu Liang rose, pacing with agitated grace. He moved to the window, peering down at the street, desperate for a sign of his rival.
