Chương 460: Unexpected Decision (2)

Would he swallow his pride and walk Ken despite being provoked over and over again?

A grin crept onto Ken's face as he felt it was unlikely.

Ryan's face was expressionless upon the mound, giving nothing away. After a few moments, he nodded and entered his wind up, sending a throw that caused Ken's eyes to open wide in shock.

Pah~

"Ball"

There was silence around the arena before all hell broke loose.

"BOO!~"

"Are you serious!? It's the finals of the World Cup!"

"No way!"

It was clear to everyone in attendance that the ball was an intentional walk and that Ryan had given up on challenging Ken.

'No way… He's swallowing his pride?' Ken thought, blinking his eyes a few times in astonishment.

Yes it was true that walking him was the most optimal move, but that didn't mean it was an easy decision to make. Ryan was still a teenager, and subject to the scrutiny of the American public.
