"Sigh." Matthew sighed visibly. "I was suspecting that the people invited by these large organizations had something to fulfill or do. It seems my suspicions are real."
"Haha." The owner laughed with some embarrassment. "It's nothing that will affect your image, young sir. There will be a dance ceremony tonight among the sponsors, and several of them will bring their sponsored guests."
"A dance ceremony? They didn't mention that before," Matthew said, confused.
"That's because the sponsors and city leaders organize it; they really don't want to bother the participants. But in recent times, it has been used for the sponsors to show off their power by bringing those they have sponsored in the tournament."
"A way to show off, or is it for something else?"
"Right now, that's what it's for, but initially, sponsored participants were brought in to show off the sponsors' good judgment. This could have a big impact on those who have managed to invite the top-ranked players."
