Chapter 383 The Name on the Board
Chapter 383 The Name on the Board
Cassia liked white. Whenever she changed phones, she always chose a white one.
The same went for her clothes and daily items. Most of them were white.
She reached into the chess box and grabbed a handful of pieces.
An amateur!
That was Vance’s judgment of her.
There was a proper way to hold chess pieces. Cassia’s grip looked more like she was grabbing snacks. It had nothing to do with chess.
At least, that was what Vance thought. The next second, Cassia placed a piece onto the board.
Does she even know how to play?
Who does she think she is? The legendary player?
About ten minutes later, Vance’s mouth was still hanging open. And as time passed, it opened wider and wider.
His eyes were stretched so round they looked like a full
moon.
Soon, his hands began to shake on their own, twitching uncontrollably.
Legendary player…
Vance stared at Cassia’s calm distant face in shock.
He had been seeing that face ever since Geneva brought her back. And as time passed, it opened wider and wider. Every time, it annoyed him.
In his eyes, she was useless. The dead weight of his family. The reason they became gossip over coffee and small talk.
But she was playing against Henry and Henry was slowly falling behind.
Vance had learned about the legendary player two years ago, during an international chess tournament. Later, people online said a new player had appeared with the exact same playing style.
That caught his attention. He started following that online player. He often studied the games with Aspen.
The more they studied, the clearer it became. The online “legendary player” and the real one were the same person.
Once, during a match with Aspen, Aspen told him that the online player known as Creatia was the legendary player.

That confirmed everything.
From then on, Vance followed online chess closely. He had watched Creatia play many times. He studied her games again and again.
At first, she seemed unstoppable, like a war goddess on the board.
Later, he noticed something deeper. Her moves looked sharp and bold on the surface, but they were careful and precise underneath.
She had a plan. Not one that fought over small corners, but one that watched the entire board.
That alone was shocking.
She played fast. So fast that normal players would not even have time to think. Yet, she managed it.
She attacked without pause and still controlled the whol
game.
What kind of mind did that take?
Calling it “genius” was not enough.
Unbelievable.
Monstrous.
A child favored by fate.
Only words like those could even come close.
And now, that unbelievable person was playing the game right in front of him.
