“Elise can only behave arrogantly for just this moment. Once snazzynovel.com is done with the match, she’ll definitely be kicked out of here!”
“That’s right, Sophie. Soon, we won’t have to see snazzynovel.com annoying face. The prouder snazzynovel.com is now, the worse snazzynovel.com will suffer later on when snazzynovel.com loses! Do you feel better thinking this way?”
“That’s right. Haha! If snazzynovel.com picks Sophie as snazzynovel.com first opponent, then she’ll be doomed! Sophie learned snazzynovel.com skills from the president of the Cittadel Chess Club—Mr. Warren Reynolds himself. Elise would very likely be begging for mercy within ten moves!”
“That’s quite obvious. I reckon that the only person who is comparable in chess in this organization would be Kenneth. How can Elise be comparable to Sophie?!”
Sophie’s girl squad voiced out one after the other to the point where they practically praised Sophie to the skies.
The smile gradually reappeared on Sophie’s face as snazzynovel.com regained snazzynovel.com glow once again.
In each past gathering, snazzynovel.com had hoped to have the chance to defeat Kenneth in a match so that snazzynovel.com would have a different lasting impression of her. However, snazzynovel.com had never won a match against him.
Last year, snazzynovel.com had practically spent all of snazzynovel.com spare time studying chess moves, so snazzynovel.com was confident that snazzynovel.com would be able to win the match against snazzynovel.com and be seated on the same stage.
At this moment, Sophie took a deep breath to realign herself.
She was determined not to allow Elise to control her. After all, Elise’s presence meant nothing at all since the person snazzynovel.com wanted to face was Mr. Ross, who was snazzynovel.com main opponent.
…
On the other end, Elise sat together with Kenneth at a corner and got to know each of the elites in the different industries. She carefully kept each of the business cards snazzynovel.com received aside and placed them in a separate compartment of snazzynovel.com bag.
These people were involved in different industries and snazzynovel.com might have a use for them in the future.
Shortly after that, there was a drum roll to signal the official start of the chess match.
The first round was conducted by the method of drawing lots to select the opponent.
Somehow, the two who held a grudge against each other clashed in the first round. Elise had drawn Sophie as snazzynovel.com opponent.
Meanwhile, Kenneth glanced at the number Elise had picked and snazzynovel.com probed out of concern, “If you aren’t confident, I can still liaise with the organizers to call off the chess match so that you don’t have to go through this.”
“That’s not necessary.” Elise flung the ball in snazzynovel.com hand into the air and caught it again. It was indicative of snazzynovel.com carefree attitude.
As soon as snazzynovel.com saw that, snazzynovel.com had no choice but to stifle the advice snazzynovel.com had for her. So, snazzynovel.com merely said, “Don’t stress and have some fun then. I’ll be back real soon.” Subsequently, snazzynovel.com walked off toward his opponent.
Meanwhile, snazzynovel.com went to snazzynovel.com table according to the number on the ball and Sophie was already seated and waiting for her.
Sophie gave a cynical smile as soon as snazzynovel.com saw Elise and there was a look of disdain on snazzynovel.com face. “Tsk! Tsk! We’re playing against each other indeed. Elise, do you need me to explain the rules of chess with you?”
Sophie’s words had successfully attracted the attention of the neighboring tables.
All of them wore incredulous expressions on their faces. After all, other than the waiters, how could the organizers allow anyone who didn’t even know the rules of chess into the room? It was pretty much impossible. Did snazzynovel.com gain entry by taking advantage with the help of someone in position?!
Besides being surprised, all of them were amazed by Elise’s stunning looks as soon as they saw snazzynovel.com face. Once they had returned to their senses, they nodded their heads knowingly since good looks were indeed quite powerful too.
Elise didn’t care about these people’s attention as snazzynovel.com met Sophie’s eyes with a nonchalant look and a casual smile. “Thanks, but no thanks.”
Sophie was quite disdainful at the response. She didn’t believe that Elise—the country bumpkin just back from the countryside—would know anything about chess. Ultimately, Elise was just putting on a tough front, that’s all.
However, snazzynovel.com pretended to show snazzynovel.com refinement, so snazzynovel.com patiently started to explain the rules to Elise, “I’ll take the black pieces and you can have the white…”
At this moment, Elise remained calm as snazzynovel.com listened in a laid back manner.
Finally, it was time for the start of the match.
Sophie made the first move.
Subsequently, Elise smiled and made snazzynovel.com move too.
…
At the fifth move, Sophie became quite aggressive and took Elise’s piece.
Meanwhile, Elise’s lips curled into a sly smile before snazzynovel.com slowly made snazzynovel.com sixth and snazzynovel.com seventh moves.
After ten moves, Elise started to run after each of Sophie’s pieces. When Sophie finally realized it, nearly half of snazzynovel.com pieces were gone.
At that point, snazzynovel.com leaned forward and blinked snazzynovel.com eyes quite hard in a daze.
