Chapter 368 Go With the Flow
After Chad finished speaking, he was about to step forward to set up the chess game.
Jeff tugged at him, “Master, my dad just called, he said he’ll be here in five minutes. Didn’t you agree to meet with him before?”
Chad glanced at Robin, patted Jeff’s shoulder, and said, “Five minutes, five minutes is enough.”
“Come on, young man, let’s get started,” he said.
Everyone present could hear the contempt in Chad’s words.
Five minutes was enough for a game of Go.
The meaning is that Chad and Robin played a game of chess, and it only took two or three minutes to finish the game.
Jeff sneered at Robin, “If you could last two minutes under my master, that would be quite an achievement! You’re overestimating yourself, you’re just asking for humiliation!”
Chad pointed a finger at Jeff, symbolically reprimanding him, “Jeff, playing chess is like living life, you need to learn humility. How can you be so arrogant, with no manners at all?”
“How am I supposed to teach you in the future if you behave like this? How am I supposed to take you to compete against the world’s top players?”

“Jeff, remember this, no matter what you do, if you can’t do it well and are too arrogant, you will never achieve anything.”
“Did you think you could learn to play chess overnight?”
“That took a long time of meticulous practice to accomplish!”
Robin could tell that Chad was indirectly criticizing him.
The meaning was that he was too arrogant.
Dared to claim a master level skill in front of him, Chad.
Randall, on the other hand, just smiled without saying a word. This was exactly the result he wanted.
After chastising Jeff, Chad gestured to Robin, “Come, come, young man, sit down. Let me see what level your chess skills have reached.”
“Young man, who did you study under? Let’s see if I can still recall a name.”
Robin said indifferently, “I didn’t have a teacher. I just learned by playing a few rounds with an old man a few years ago when I was bored.”
Chad paused for a moment, “What? You’ve never had a master guide. you? You learned by yourself? You’ve only played a few games?”
Robin looked at Chad, puzzled. “Does this thing really need a master’s guidance? It’s just a minor skill, isn’t it something you can play with once it’s set up?”
A shadow crossed Chad’s face, “Young man, that wasn’t a nice thing to

say.”
“The chess player must definitely respect the game. How can you become a good player if you disrespect it like this?”
Robin shrugged. “I’ve never thought that much about it. Isn’t chess just about finding some enjoyment in it?”
“If it was used to pursue vanity, showing off everywhere, it would have. been better not to play at all.”
“I only liked to follow my heart and let things take their natural course. If there was no joy in doing something, it was better not to do it at all.”
“You…” Chad said angrily.
“Alright, alright, set up the chessboard then. I want to see what this freestyle chess skill of yours really looks like!”
Randall watched Robin’s flippant demeanor, a subtle hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
Nia was also watching Robin with great interest.
From the first day she met Robin, she saw that this man was always flippant and dismissive.
Initially, it was thought that Robin was just an arrogant and ostentatious
man.
However, Robin’s every performance would greatly astonish her.
Later on, she would rather believe that Robin’s aloofness, even what could be described as arrogance, was because his energy was beyond

imagination.
Originally, Randall had said to let Robin play against Chad.
She thought, how could Robin possibly have beaten Chad.
You should know. Chad was the pinnacle Go Grandmaster in the Go world of East Estya.
There has hardly been anyone who could beat Chad these past few years.
However. Robin’s words did pique her interest.
The attitude towards work was to follow one’s heart and let things take their natural course.
For the experts, that was the pinnacle of their achievement.
For those vain and ostentatious people, it was boasting and a lack of self-
awareness.
Nia lifted her beautiful eyes, scrutinizing Robin’s handsome and resolute face for the first time.
Suddenly, there was a desire to understand this man more deeply.
