Chapter 205 Never Kneel No Matter What,A Beauty with Multiple Masks

Continue? I have no moves left. No matter what I do, it will end in defeat. Smiling slightly, Arielle threw

Kelsea’s insult back at her, “Kelsea, why don’t you say anything? I have never seen anyone as

unsporting as you in my entire life.” Despite how refreshing Arielle’s smile was, it caused Kelsea to

break out in cold sweat. Biting her lip, Kelsea closed her eyes as she toppled her king, conceding

defeat. The surrounding crowd cheered in response.

“It’s amazing! The Lightspring Maneuver has finally been solved!” Unlike checkers, chess originated

from Ibica but wasn’t popular domestically. Therefore, there were fewer skillful players locally compared

to foreigners. Therefore, when Arielle countered the Lightspring Maneuver, it wasn’t just a personal

victory for her, but a momentous leap for the domestic chess scene. She had brought glory to the

nation!

Even Everett expressed excitement over the momentous occasion. Meanwhile, Vinson had ended his

game and walked over. When he saw Arielle solve the Lightspring Maneuver, he gazed at her

intently. Is there anything that she doesn’t know? He couldn’t help but ask, “Have you seen the

Lightspring Maneuver before? How did you solve it?” The surrounding spectators quietened down and

waited in anticipation for Arielle’s sophisticated answer.

With a puzzled expression, Arielle asked, “Doesn’t anyone know?” Everyone shook their heads. If they

knew how to solve it, they would’ve done it long ago. After all, anyone who did it would become

famous. Arielle glanced at the crowd in exasperation. Pointing at the chessboard, she explained, “It’s

actually elementary. Don’t read into the game, just look at how the pieces are arranged. What do they

look like?”

Everyone tried to cast aside their knowledge of chess and looked at how the pieces were arranged.

Suddenly, everyone saw that it formed a single word in Chanaean. One of them read it out by reflex.

“Stupid…” Snap! Arielle snapped her fingers and remarked, “That’s it! It just reads “stupid”. Once you




can see it, the answer is obvious.” Boom! Everyone’s mind was blown. After all the time and effort they

spent researching the move, they realized they had been looking at it in the wrong direction.

It simply boiled down to one word which was “stupid.” Just when they were struck by the epiphany, they

felt as if the word was describing them. Stupid! Aren’t we all? With awkward expressions, many of them

were ashamed of themselves. They had overcomplicated the matter when a child could have easily

solved it. Meanwhile, Kelsea was trembling in defeat. Her ultimate gambit which she was so proud of

ended up forming the word “stupid.”

At that moment, she just wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole. Arielle continued,

“Sometimes, there’s just no need to overthink, just like life itself. Simplicity brings happiness. Kelsea,

aren’t you supposed to fulfill your promise now?” The deal between them was that whoever that lost

would have to kneel.

Given that Kelsea was the loser, she naturally had to kneel in front of everyone. As her expression

darkened, Kelsea gritted her teeth. “You have cheated! How can a word be considered a chess tactic?

You were just lucky. I don’t consider myself to have lost the game!” Arielle raised her eyebrows.

“Aren’t you being unsporting?” Kelsea remained defiant. “I have already told you that I didn’t lose.

Therefore, I won’t kneel. Even if I died, I still won’t kneel to you!” Just as Kelsea spoke, a white-haired

old man with a walking stick approached them.
