Chapter 530 Daggers


    ck immediatelyunched the chess game with no courtesy for Daniel, cing the first ck


    stone squarely in the middle of the board. They went back and forth, cing over a dozen stones


    each without capturing any.


    ck was surprised, ncing at Daniel with disbelief. “I must say, I didn''t expect this; you might be


    a country boy, but your skills are decent. You’re the first person in thirty years to avoid losing a


    single stone to me in the first ten moves. Not bad! Not bad at all!”


    The game proceeded, and soon a third of therge board was covered. Yet the match was


    stalemated, with neither yer able to capture any of the opponent''s stones. Just then, Daniel


    made a move that seemed to be an error. As soon as the stone hit the board, ck''s face lit up with


    excitement.


    The country bumpkin has made a mistake!

    While ck believed he had outyed Daniel, Daniel seemed entirely unfazed, "Brother, it seems


    I’m the first to capture! With this move, I''ve taken three of your stones."


    ck couldn’t contain hisughter, “What are youughing at, Brother ck?" asked Daniel.


    "Laughing? Of course, it''s because you''re too inexperienced, too impatient! Did you think I’d


    overlook those three stones? I let you capture them on purpose. You seize three of mine – I''ll take


    thirty of yours."


    With that, ck captured a significant formation of Daniel''s, aplete dragon, snatching away


    thirty of his stones in one fell swoop.


    Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!...


    A flurry of daggers darted out, all targeting Daniel. However, he remained seated on the bench,


    motionless. As the daggers approached, he casually reached out, effortlessly catching each one in


    midair.


    After collecting them, Daniel counted, "The numbers don''t add up, Brother ck. You captured


    thirty of my pieces; there should be thirty daggers. But no matter how I count, there are only twenty-


    nine. Where’s thest one?"


    As Daniel pondered, a sudden snap resounded from underneath him.


    "Damn it! Thest dagger was under me? That''s a bit much, isn’t it?" He yelped, then with reflexes


    like a monkey''s, he leaped from the bench.


    Lucky for him, he moved quickly and jumped high enough to evade. Otherwise, the dagger shooting


    upwards from the seat could have been a disaster.


    Resting his shaken nerves, Daniel looked at ck with speechlessness, "Brother, don''t you think


    the cement of that dagger was a bit too sneaky?"


    "Daggers by nature are meant to surprise. But I must admit, you surprised me, country boy – you


    managed to avoid all thirty daggers? Impressive!"


    ck waved his fan, smiling as he warned, "Just remember, those thirty daggers were only the


    beginning, with less lethal force."
