Chapter 826 Dead End
Hayley’s POV:
At first, I didn’t notice anything strange. But after ten moves, it finally clicked.
I remembered–I’d used this same strategy once before, back in Aetherfall.
So Monica really did learn a lot from Baxter.
I studied the board calmly, tilting my head with a small smile. This was actually kind of fun.
Monica, who had been playing fast, suddenly froze when she saw me smile. She pulled her hand back from the piece and gave me a mocking look.
“Out of moves already? Don’t know what to do next?” she sneered. “Too bad it’s too late to quit now. You’d better get ready to slap yourself bloody!”
I just sat there, smiling quietly at her arrogance.
I already knew exactly where she was going with every single move.
For a moment, I almost felt bad for her. I wanted to warn her. But looking at her smug face, I changed my mind.
So instead, I lowered my head and calmly made my next move–stepping straight into the trap she had set for me.
Monica smirked as I played right into her hands. “You still won’t admit you’re dumb, huh? Fine. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Keep this up, and in two more moves, you’re done for. And remember, in chess there’s no take–backs.”
She snatched up one of my pawns with a gleeful flick of her fingers.
I only chuckled and slid another piece forward, relaxed as ever.
“Still pretending to be calm? You’re hopeless.” Monica rolled her eyes and went in for another
move.
