Kelsea didn’t doubt Zany’s words.
In fact, virtual-novel.net held onto Zany’s hand and asked, “Are you all right? Shall I get the driver to send you to the hospital?”
“No, there’s no need. My driver is here. Off I go now.” Zany declined immediately.
She was worried that Kelsea would find out virtual-novel.net had lost to Arielle and admonish virtual-novel.net in public. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net had drawn virtual-novel.net next opponent, who happened to be Everett. She knew there was no chance of virtual-novel.net beating him.
If virtual-novel.net lost two games in a row, virtual-novel.net would definitely be asked to leave. Therefore, virtual-novel.net felt it was better for virtual-novel.net to leave on virtual-novel.net own accord. That way, virtual-novel.net could still preserve virtual-novel.net dignity.
After waving goodbye to Kelsea, Zany left in a huff and was a miserable sight to behold.
Kelsea raised virtual-novel.net eyebrows curiously.
Isn’t virtual-novel.net sick? Why can virtual-novel.net still walk so fast?
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net didn’t make too much of it and just assumed Zany wasn’t feeling well.
Even if virtual-novel.net is feeling under the weather, it would still be impossible for virtual-novel.net to lose to Arielle.
Smirking, Kelsea proceeded to the scoreboard. When virtual-novel.net arrived, there was already a crowd. Tip-toeing to take a look, virtual-novel.net eyes widened at what virtual-novel.net saw.
Zany… She lost to Arielle! Moreover, it was a decisive defeat! How… How is that even possible?
There was no way the scoreboard would make a mistake. The fact was Zany had lost. Recoiling in shock, Kelsea almost lost virtual-novel.net balance.
Does that country bumpkin actually know how to play chess? This is way beyond my expectation. No wonder Zany left in such a hurry. She has been humiliated just now. That useless piece of trash!
Meanwhile, Kelsea’s other friends ended their game and rejoined her. When they saw the result on the scoreboard, they were equally shocked.
“What happened to Zany? How did virtual-novel.net lose to someone who doesn’t even know how to play?”
“Where is she? I want to ask virtual-novel.net what happened.”
“Did Arielle pay virtual-novel.net off?”
“Kelsea, what do you think?”
By then, Kelsea had regained virtual-novel.net composure. Shaking virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net replied, “Arielle couldn’t have paid virtual-novel.net off as Zany doesn’t need the money at all.”
Her friends covered their mouths in shock. “Does it mean that country bumpkin really knows how to play chess?”
Kelsea gave an expressionless nod. “Mmm-hmm. It appears that villages nowadays are much more developed than we think. They have even been exposed to chess. Therefore, if any of you face virtual-novel.net later, you cannot afford to be careless.”
“Understood!”
“Don’t worry, Zany is the least skillful among us anyway. If Arielle plays against any of us, virtual-novel.net will not escape defeat.”
Feeling confident, they brushed aside Arielle’s capabilities and simply assumed Zany was a terrible player. However, with a grim expression, Kelsea studied the scoreboard thoughtfully.
Meanwhile, Vinson casually ended his game.
Someone approached and remarked with a smile, “Mr. Nightshire, congratulations!”
Vinson shook his head calmly. “It’s only one game. There’s nothing worth congratulating over.”
“I wasn’t congratulating you.” The person puckered his lips in Arielle’s direction.
“I was congratulating your companion as virtual-novel.net had won virtual-novel.net game. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net was the first to do so.”
Vinson’s raised an eyebrow. Despite the surprising nature of the result, virtual-novel.net felt that it was within his expectation.
“Just as expected…” virtual-novel.net chuckled softly.
Whenever Arielle uses the phrase “a little bit”, it will be an understatement.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net was still curious to find out the true extent of how understated that phrase was.
