Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Finn Taylor and Kuro Takeda took their seats.
Eventually, Kuro Takeda was allowed to make the first move. Sitting in front of Finn Taylor, he appeared composed.
He knew full well that this wasn’t a fair match to begin with, yet he hadn’t refused when his master first offered him this solution.
Fairness didn’t exist in this world.
Japan had won the championship several tis, yet they still weren’t the governing committee of the International Chess Association. Was that fair?
‘Today, we’ll use such unfair thods to crush our opponents—and with that, the entire Arican chess world. My master even said that this is rely the beginning. There is more to co—that will ensure my victory.’
The two players made their moves.
Finn Taylor was quick, but Kuro Takeda was extrely slow. In fact, he took five minutes to make a move.
This was Kuro Takeda’s strategy. He was well-rested, while his opponent was exhausted.
With that, he would drag the match past midnight and into the wee hours of the morning. He simply didn’t believe that Finn Taylor would still have the ntal capacity to continue playing.
When that ti ca, victory would eventually be his.
Although Finn Taylor was indeed slightly groggy and unsteady, he still made his moves just as quickly.
Kuro Takeda stared on in disbelief.?‘Can humans really be this strong?’
In the blink of an eye, another half an hour passed.
The clock struck midnight.
On the chessboard, it was clear that Finn Taylor had started to take the lead.
Yet, Kuro Takeda wasn’t the slightest bit nervous.?‘It has only been half an hour. In another half an hour’s ti, I will be sure to take the win.’
“Go get so glucose over,” Jessica Daimler instructed her disciple.
Afraid of disrupting the ga, gan Daimler imdiately set off. But it was midnight, and it was almost impossible to find what she wanted.
Finally, gan Daimler knocked on the door of a pharmacy.
This was a pharmacist that gan Daimler knew—he was over 90 years of age. “Sir, do you have any glucose?”
“Yes. Are you feeling unwell?”
“No, but I have no ti to explain this to you right now. Just give so glucose for now.”
Imdiately, gan Daimler ran back with the glucose and poured it into a cup before returning to the competition site.
With light steps, she walked up to Finn Taylor and fed him with a spoon.
Finn Taylor wasn’t in any position to refuse. After all, he was on the verge of collapsing.
He desperately needed to replenish his energy.
“If you’re not a competitor, please leave the stage.” Yoshie Masaki nodded furtively at a judge to chase gan Daimler away.
“He needs to replenish his energy.”
“Please leave.”
“He won’t be able to continue unless he eats sothing.”
“Please leave right now. You’ll be disrupting the competition otherwise, and your country will lose this match.”
As gan Daimler glared at the judge, Finn Taylor snatched the cup over and gulped the glucose solution down. “I’m fine. You can leave.”
Only then did gan Daimler finally leave reluctantly.
The competition continued, and Finn Taylor seed to be taking an even greater lead. Yet, Kuro Takeda was in no hurry at all.?‘Does Finn Taylor think that he’ll be able to replenish his energy just by taking so glucose? The biggest thing he has going against him is fatigue. It’s been hours since he’s gotten a proper rest. I’m sure that his brain is about to explode and that he’s on the verge of breaking down.’
Another half an hour passed.
Almost all the pieces left on the board were Finn Taylor’s—it looked like the competition was about to end soon.
Just then, Finn Taylor received a video on his phone.
…
San Francisco.
On the day that Finn Taylor and Willow Stone had left San Francisco, Yvette Larson had gone out shopping with her best friend. Following that, the best friends had been kidnapped.
Now, in a dimly lit room.
The two won had been tied up with ropes, their eyes and mouths taped shut. If not for the fact that they had been placed next to each other and could feel each other’s presence, they might very well have lost it.
“Bro, these two ladies are so pretty. Why don’t you play with them?”
There were another two n in the room—one was sitting while the other was standing.
The man sitting was the mastermind of the kidnapping—Black Fox.
The one standing was none other than Quince Larson.
After selling the company, he had earned a huge sum of money. It was the first ti he had so much money on hand, and soone had invited him to a casino.
In the short span of three days, not only had he lost all his assets, but he had even gotten himself into debt!
He was clearly to be blad for this, yet he pushed the bla to his cousin.?‘If not for Yvette Larson resigning from her position, I never would’ve landed in this state.’?
Through his connections, he heard that soone planned to kidnap Yvette Larson and was looking for lackeys. Naturally, he was ga.
After joining the organization, he went all-out, not caring about his dignity at all.
Eventually, he beca Black Fox’s most trusted right-hand man.
Black Fox glanced at Yvette Larson and Clarine Landon.?‘Indeed. The won we caught this ti are wonderful. If not for the fact that I had gotten strict instructions to leave them alone, I would’ve violated them a long ti ago.’?
“Shut the f*ck up! I might be a thief, but I have my morals.”
Quince Larson was disappointed and couldn’t help but look down on Black Fox.?‘What do you an? I bet you’re just afraid that you won’t get paid.’
“Boss, you can go have so fun. Leave this to .”
Black Fox nodded. His thirst for won was now insatiable since he couldn’t touch these gorgeous won in front of him.
He had to go out to have so fun on his own.
When Black Fox left, Quince Larson walked up to his cousin and slapped her in the face. “B*tch!”
Then, he ripped the tape off her mouth.
Ever since Quince Larson had entered the organization, he had learned to change his voice at will. As such, he believed that the other wouldn’t be able to recognize his voice.
“Who are you?”
“Your ancestor.” With that, he slapped Yvette Larson once more.
“Boohoo.” Clarine Landon couldn’t hold it in any longer, and Quince Larson ripped the tape off her mouth as well.
“Why are you shouting? No matter how much you shout, nobody is going to co to your rescue! Do you two b*tches know just what you’ve done? Now that I’ve caught you, I’m going to kill both of you!”
Yvette Larson was intelligent and knew from his words that they knew each other.
This kidnapping seed fishy.
“We’ve done nothing wrong. Why don’t you tell us what we’ve done?”
“You b*tch, how dare you deny it! You married a useless husband, ruined your family’s reputation, and made them go bankrupt! Don’t you think that’s bad enough?”
“Quince Larson!” Even though he had changed his voice, Yvette Larson recognized him. “Quince Larson, we’re relatives no matter what. I can’t believe that you’re doing this!”
Quince Larson had only said those words out of spite, but he’d never expected his cousin to recognize him!
In an instant, he flew into a frenzy.
