My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 560

Chapter 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 beer 

learning from him since I was little. I was even the runner-up in th Youth Somerland Chess Championship!” 

Although she did not win the championship, she received an award a 

the very least. She became quite famous at school because of the 

Hera glanced at Helena as she said this. On the day of the 

competition, she drank the beverage Helena had given her. She end 

up with an upset stomach the entire day because of that and had 

go to the bathroom more than ten times during the match, 

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

champion. 

Chacket 

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. 

The man in white moved his chariot one step sideways, planning a 

direct assault. 

Old Malley then shifted his chariot into the same line that housed hi 

other chariot, blocking the path of the opponent’s chariot. 

The man in white contemplated for a moment before moving a 

soldier to the front of the horse, conveniently positioning it next to h 

opponent’s chariot. It obstructed the route for protecting the canno 

and it also threatened the opponent’s chariot. 

If Old Malley captured the soldier, the man in white’s horse would 

then capture his chariot. If Old Malley moved the chariot, then he 

could capture his cannon. 

Now, Old Malley was in a bind again. 

In chess, sometimes sacrificing one piece could lead to the downfall 

of another. 

Of course, Hera chose to protect the chariot. Hera reached her fair 

hand out and suddenly captured the opponent’s soldier with the 

chariot. 

The man in white smiled slightly. As he lifted his hand to pick up his horse, someone laughed and commented, “Hey… the generals are facing each other.” 

It was then that the man in white noticed that the center of the board 

was in a vacuum state. His horse was stuck, and he was charging 

headlong into a trap. 

He glared at Hera in anger. Just as he was about to speak, Helenal
