A look of barely-discernible admiration flashed past Ares’ eyes when virtual-novel.net noticed how quickly Zayn focused himself.
He did not procrastinate anymore either but virtual-novel.net immediately picked up a black chess piece to begin the game.
Chess was not new to Zayn because virtual-novel.net used to play it almost every day when virtual-novel.net was young. He was very skilled at playing chess and his standard was already equivalent to a professional chess player.
However, virtual-novel.net stopped playing chess after virtual-novel.net married into the Carter family and virtual-novel.net would only play a few online chess games when virtual-novel.net was free in the office of Violet Vision Media Corp at most.
He noticed that the so-called grandmasters that virtual-novel.net encountered online were only mediocre and they were utterly no match for him. He lost the interest to play anymore afterward.
Hence, it had already been a very long time since virtual-novel.net played. Generally, his chess skills would have certainly deteriorated over time but this was almost never an issue for virtual-novel.net because virtual-novel.net was a perfect-class master fighter and the extent of his brain’s development would not make sense to an ordinary person.
In the beginning, their chess pieces move quickly. It had only been two minutes when more than half of the chess pieces were captured and removed already.
They were moving so quickly that the people around them were too overwhelmed to see clearly.
They gasped in surprise and commented about how insane it was. Antony was so mindblown that had no choice but to exclaim that both Zayn and Ares were insane.
However, there was a limit to how fast their brains worked no matter how fast they were. Their speed began to slow down at this point, especially Zayn. His brows were furrowed tightly without his notice.
In reality, Zayn’s mind had begun to compute from the moment virtual-novel.net moved the first white pawn. He would plan ten moves ahead with every move virtual-novel.net made.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the most advanced artificial intelligence available now may not necessarily triumph over him.
Yet, as virtual-novel.net planned his strategy, virtual-novel.net soon discovered that his strategy could not surpass Ares anyhow. He was already at a disadvantageous position without his notice.
Moreover, Ares’ style was especially savage like a sword that stabbed straight to his knight!
Every chess piece moved by Ares was filled with deadly presence and also the fate of the entire country. It was so terrifying that Zayn felt like every move virtual-novel.net made was akin to going against a country!
He questioned his conscience and came to the conclusion that virtual-novel.net had played no less than a thousand chess games in total since virtual-novel.net was young. In fact, virtual-novel.net once played against the World Champion of chess at the time and virtual-novel.net did not have the lower hand either. Each of them won and lost games.
He had the chess skills of a world class player, especially now that virtual-novel.net was a perfect-class master fighter, his skills were even more exceptional. Yet, it was apparent that virtual-novel.net was not good enough in the presence of Ares.
However, virtual-novel.net had yet to acknowledge his defeat. With the immense pressure on him, virtual-novel.net continued to play the game with Ares, remaining fully focused.
There was a gush of unyielding determination in his presence. Even if the sky came crashing down on him, virtual-novel.net would still persist!
This was also the factor that motivated virtual-novel.net to get to where virtual-novel.net was today.
Twenty minutes into the game, sweat began to drench Zayn’s forehead. Moreover, the surface temperature of his skin was rising high. The sweat came out on his forehead but it evaporated soon from the high temperature of his skin.
He was in a state akin to a calculator working at full speed and his body was dispersing the heat wildly.
He was already fixated in the game now that virtual-novel.net did not notice how Antony was looking at him. Antony’s gaze was more than just appreciation but there was also astonishment and admiration.
It was because Ares’ brows were deeply furrowed as virtual-novel.net sat opposite Zayn in the meantime.
Even though not to the extent of drenched in sweat, Antony could see that Ares was playing against a worthy opponent. Every step virtual-novel.net made now was after long consideration.
Antony was acquainted with Ares for 30 years at least yet virtual-novel.net had never seen anyone who could make Ares so stressed out by a game of chess.
Hence, virtual-novel.net could see that Zayn was not only powerful in fighting but virtual-novel.net had an excellent mind as well!
