My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 560

"Oh, that works! Sacrificing the chariot to protect the general. Why didn't I notice that earlier?" exclaimed someone nearby.

"The young lass is quite good!"

"Young people have clearer minds than us!"

"Isn't she the newcomer, Hera Lewis?"

"Hera Lewis? Who's that? I've never heard of her."

"You're really uninformed. She's the president of Baroque Group. Don't you know how powerful they are now?"

The King of Chess looked at Hera with surprise and chuckled. "Young lady, you play chess too?"

Hera nodded and smiled. "My dad likes playing chess, and I've been learning from him since I was little. I was even the runner-up in the Youth Somerland Chess Championship!"

Although she did not win the championship, she received an award at the very least. She became quite famous at school because of that.

Hera glanced at Helena as she said this. On the day of the competition, she drank the beverage Helena had given her. She ended up with an upset stomach the entire day because of that and had to go to the bathroom more than ten times during the match.

If not for that mishap, she would have undoubtedly been the champion.

There was no doubt that the drink Helena had given her was spiked.

Helena laughed awkwardly. "It's all in the past. You can't still be mad at me for that!"

Hera chuckled. "I'm not mad. I actually found our battles of wits and courage during those years in school quite interesting!"

The old man in white touched his chin, looking displeased. "Young lady, didn't your father teach you that a true gentleman remains silent while observing a game?" he said suddenly.

Hera stuck out her tongue playfully. "I didn't say anything about what I was going to play!"

She just moved the piece while keeping her mouth shut.

Old Malley burst into laughter. "Are there any more moves? If not, let's call it a draw!"

"A draw?" The old man in white sneered, lifting his cannon to capture the chariot. Exchanging a cannon for a chariot seemed like a fair deal.

Old Malley then used his general to capture the cannon.

Helena chuckled. "Just admit defeat!"

The man in white took a deep breath and said in a seemingly indifferent tone, "I won't stoop to playing with children."

After assessing the situation, he pulled back the other cannon, getting ready to try the same trick again.

Hera instantly guessed his intentions and preemptively moved the cannon beside the horse, preventing his chariot from capturing her cannon. This move also blocked the man’s horse, preventing it from threatening other pieces.

The man in white started to get serious and had also guessed what Hera was planning. Clearly, his trick of sacrificing the horse to protect his general was no longer effective.

Thus, he moved his bishop, giving back the freedom of movement to his central horse piece.

"General!" Hera moved the cannon to capture the general.

The man in white responded by moving a pawn while Hera returned by moving the other chariot down to capture the soldier.

After that, the man in white moved his pawn to the front of the horse, which was then succeeded by Hera shifting the chariot under the pawn to capture the horse.
