“Old Mr. Grant, I’m clearly no match for you! Why don’t we just call it a day?” begged Alex.
He was wholly confused since that was his first time playing chess, so much so that he didn’t evenknow why he suffered an utter defeat.
Richard grew even happier upon seeing how troubled Alex was. The sight of Alex’s frustrationreminded him of himself when he was playing against Giles.
and was
game Giles started playing chess before Richard did. Besides, the former had a knack for the moretalented compared to Richard. As such, Richard would suffer terrible losses just like Alex whenever heplayed against Giles.
Richard would never let Alex leave so easily now that he finally found someone who could make himfeel better about himself.
“You want to go shopping with Maggie, right? The two of you will have plenty of time to be togetherafter getting married. Since you have come all the way to Lumenopolis, you should spend more timewith me. Don’t worry, I won’t force you to stay. As long as you defeat me just once, I will let you goshopping with Maggie,” said Richard confidently as he rubbed his beard.
After all, he had been playing chess for decades, and Alex was only a newbie. There was no way Alexcould beat him in a day no matter how talented he was.
“Grandpa, you’re making things difficult for Alex! How can he win you when he has only just learnedhow to play the game?” said Maggie indignantly, defending Alex.
Alex had only just come to the Grant residence, and he immediately got dragged into a game of chessby her grandpa. Naturally, she felt bad for him.
“You ungrateful girl! I dote on you so much, yet you chose to take your fiancé’s side before you evenget married. I’m so sad!” Richard put on a disappointed act.
“I’m still on your side, Grandpa. But, Alex is truly no match for you. Isn’t it more fun to play chess withan opponent that’s evenly matched with you?” Maggie quickly explained herself.
Richard waved his hand and said with a smile, “I don’t think so. I enjoy playing chess with Alex.”
“If that’s the case, I shall continue to play with you.” Alex couldn’t bring himself to spoil Richard’s mood.
Just like what Richard had said, Alex would have plenty of time to spend with Maggie in the future. Itwas not often that they came to Lumenopolis, and they wouldn’t be staying for long either.
Richard was currently in his eighties. The fact that he was already in his twilight years wouldn’t changeeven if he consumed the pill that Alex concocted. Thus, Alex thought it was important to make theelderly man happy when he got the chance.
They shouldn’t wait until it was too late.
In the beginning, Alex knew nothing about chess, but after a few days of playing with the old man, heslowly mastered the skills. His improvement took Richard by surprise.
Unfortunately, Alex still failed to defeat Richard in chess during the few days they stayed inLumenopolis. Though he was far smarter and sharper than others, his skills in chess were still nowherenear Richard’s.
