“It’s okay. We’re just doing it for fun. Play as you will,” Billy said, taking the lead in moving his chess piece. Then, Bonnie advanced a piece of her white chess across the board. “If you put it that way, I’ll do my best.” He looked at the position of her chess piece and knew that she was telling the truth.’It’s quite surprising that someone as incredibly talented as Barrett is that bad when it comes to this game.’I’ll seize this opportunity and let him see how great I am at chess. After all, formidable people look up to those who are better than them.’I’ll make him bow down to my mastery and work on impressing him with my other skill sets. I want him to willingly join my organization and work for me!’At the thought of that, he smiled. He was dead set on making it happen.”There’s no need to be so tense. Like I said, this is just for fun. So, just play however you like.”He might’ve said that, but he proceeded to exert pressure on Bonnie with every move he made on the chessboard. Ads by PubFuture
Meanwhile, Bonnie toyed around with him.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.Every time Billy thought victory was his, she’d outmaneuver him and save herself with one single move.He, too, realized what was going on. He stared at her with skepticism. “Are you sure you aren’t good with chess?”‘I thought he was bad at it. But not only is he familiar with chess, but he’s actually a master at it.’Under normal circumstances, I would’ve won the game much earlier! Although I haven’t won, the fact that he held out this long against me means that he’s good.’Why would he deny being good at chess when he clearly is? Could it be that he was playing me for a fool?’At the thought of that, Billy’s face fell. A hint of irritation flashed across his eyes as he looked at Bonnie. Ads by PubFuture
Naturally, she knew what was on his mind.She spoke with a sense ofnonchalance. I’m not good at chess, nor have I spent a lot of time playing. However, I did study a chess manual in the past and I could predict your next move using everything Hearned from there.” She paused before saying with a smile, “At first, I thought about letting you win. Then, I got to thinking that you’re not shallow. So, why would I do something like that? Wouldn’t you agree?” Billy remained quiet and didn’t respond to her.’Not only is Barrett exceptionally talented at hacking, but he is great at chess, too. All he did was study a manual, and he’s already better than me ve had years of experience playing chess. ‘Judging by his intelligence, he’s the kind of guy who’d excel at everything he does. He just might be able to eventually develop a chip that’s better than the one the Nidhogg created!’Billy’s eyes were sparkling with excitement. He was staring at Bonnie with even more intensity than he had when she first demonstrated her incredible hacking skills.He was lost in a trance before he came back to his senses. Both his eyes and his tone were kind and tender now.”Can you tell me what’s the name of the chess manual you read?”
