Draven watched the way she moved her hand. One look told him she didn’t seem to know how to play chess at all.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then made his move.

This time, he didn’t follow his usual playing style either.

From that point on, the match turned strange. Cassia pretended to be clumsy. Draven pretended to be bad. Seven, standing nearby, watched with his mouth twitching nonstop.

Seven used to know nothing about chess. But lately, Draven often played online against legendary players, and Seven had watched enough games to learn a little.

In his eyes, Cassia was amazing at gemstone gambling, jewelry design, piano, medicine, and psychology. When it came to chess, she looked worse than a beginner like him.

His boss was clearly holding back, but she still couldn’t win. Cassia was stuck in a long back- and–forth with him.

Cassia stared at the board. Good thing I’m not serious. I’m not even thinking; he still can’t

beat me.

Draven was thinking something very similar.

While the two of them played with different thoughts in mind, Draven suddenly received an important phone call.

He went to the living room to take it. Seven felt bored sitting alone, so he walked over and sat across from Cassia,

“Ms. Wood, let’s keep playing,” he said.

“Whatever,” Cassia replied, picking up a white piece.

“Let me tell you this,” Seven said confidently. “I haven’t learned chess for long, but I’m smart. You better take this seriously. I won’t go easy on you.” He placed his piece.

Click! Cassia placed her piece right after his.

Seven blinked. “Huh?”

That fast?

Her calm confidence threw him off. After a few seconds, he picked up a black piece, scanned the board, and placed it down.

Click!

Cassia moved again.

Seven’s eyes widened.

“What?! That fast again?”

He paused and looked at Cassia.

“Don’t you need to think?” he asked.

“No,” Cassia answered flatly.

Seven was speechless.

Then the same scene played out again and again

Very soon, the board was full of dead ends. Seven held a black piece in his hand, with nowhere to place it.

He couldn’t understand it.

Earlier, when Cassia played with his boss, she looked so bad he could barely watch.

How did she suddenly become this strong?

Seven looked at Cassia again and saw her playing on her phone.

Actually, now that he thought about it, she had been using her phone the whole time.

He got it!

Cassis didn’t suddenly get better. She must be asking a chess expert for help on her phone!

That had to be it!

“Uh, wait a second,” Seven said. “I need to use the restroom.” He made up the excuse on purpose. As he stood up, he walked around Cass to peek at her phone, trying to see if she was secretly live–streaming the game to some master player.

But there was no stream at all.

She was playing a cheerful match–three puzzle game.

Chapter 259 Playing Dumb

What the heck?!

She’s playing a puzzle game and crushing me at the same time?

Seven stared up at the ceiling, questioning his life and the world.

He had thought his chess skills were pretty decent. Turns out, he couldn’t even beat someone at the beginner level.

When he went back, Seven looked miserable as he complained to Draven. “Mr. Grey, you lied

to me.”

“Hm?”

Draven glanced at him.

What is wrong with him now?

“You said my chess skills were already close to amateur level,” Seven said sadly. “You were just fooling me, weren’t you?”

Draven didn’t bother responding to Seven.

He had said those things before, and when he had casually taught Seven chess out of boredom some time ago, he hadn’t expected Seven to actually show some talent.
