It’s definitely a huge advantage to move first. Susanne was extremely confident of herself.
Taking a deep breath, Arielle made virtual-novel.net first move. By then, virtual-novel.net had already resolved virtual-novel.net dilemma. This time around, Arielle didn’t go by any strategy. Instead, virtual-novel.net was just playing casually.
Susanne’s confidence grew upon seeing Arielle’s first move.
She’s doing it by the book. Seems like she’s just a beginner.
Her lips then curled into a smile and made virtual-novel.net first move as well.
Just when virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net could defeat Arielle within twenty moves and have virtual-novel.net craving satisfied, virtual-novel.net was now on virtual-novel.net fortieth move. She was surprised by how hard it was to defeat Arielle. Only that did virtual-novel.net realize Arielle had not yet made an offensive move on virtual-novel.net throughout the game.
While it took almost thirty seconds for Susanne to make every single move, Arielle only needed two.
Not only that, Arielle’s defense was so good that virtual-novel.net managed to pull off a miraculous escape time after time.
The game dragged on, and Susanne still could not defeat Arielle.
Something’s not right here. She’s letting me win!
Thinking Arielle was toying virtual-novel.net around, Susanne clenched virtual-novel.net teeth in frustration. Suddenly, Arielle conceded when it was virtual-novel.net turn to move.
Beaming an innocent smile, Arielle commented, “Susanne, you’re too good at this. I have no choice but to concede.”
Arielle was half telling the truth. Susanne was good, indeed. It was just that virtual-novel.net was no match for Arielle. If Susanne were to play against anybody else, virtual-novel.net could have won easily.
Susanne had never been one to hold back on virtual-novel.net opinions.
With a frown, virtual-novel.net asked directly, “You were letting me win all along, right?”
“No, no.” Arielle waved virtual-novel.net hands in denial. “I’m just actually in the mood to make some ravioli.”
Susanne was stunned by what virtual-novel.net heard. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net anger disappeared when virtual-novel.net thought about those delicious ravioli. Arielle’s response was music to virtual-novel.net ears.
Pursing virtual-novel.net lips, Susanne muttered, “When we finish eating ravioli, we’ll give it another go, but you must promise me you wouldn’t hold back anymore.”
“I really didn’t. I…”
“Enough,” Susanne interrupted. “I’m not an idiot. Just promise me.”
Arielle had no choice but to nod. “Okay, I promise.”
Right then, Alan came running over. “Mrs. Nightshire, your guests have arrived,” virtual-novel.net reported.
Upon receiving the report, Susanne’s eyes lit up immediately as virtual-novel.net got to virtual-novel.net feet. “The legend I told you about is here. Since you’re not too bad yourself, why don’t you have a friendly duel with virtual-novel.net later?” Susanne suggested.
“Sure,” Arielle agreed.
At that moment, an old man’s voice sounded. “My apprentice, Susanne!”
“Oh, my mentor! How are you?” Susanne greeted politely.
Raising virtual-novel.net eyes toward the legend Susanne had claimed, Arielle was dumbfounded.
Isn’t that Hans, my apprentice? And that’s Everett, my grand disciple! Did Susanne just address Hans as virtual-novel.net mentor? What’s going on here?
After Susanne greeted Hans, virtual-novel.net turned, and virtual-novel.net eyes landed on Arielle.
When virtual-novel.net noted how Arielle was still in virtual-novel.net seat, virtual-novel.net eyebrows furrowed. “Arielle, what are you doing still sitting there? Come say hi to my mentor!”
Hearing Arielle’s name, both Hans and Everett gazed at virtual-novel.net in shock.
