    Chapter 203 Just Admit Defeat


    The reason was that even Hans had not discovered the solution against it.


    Therefore, using it was Arielle was overkill.


    However, given that she had started the sequence, it was toote for her to turn back. All she could do


    was to continue ying the Lightspring Maneuver agonizingly.


    As Arielle yed, she didn’t suspect anything in the beginning.


    However, after a minute’s time had passed, she suddenly found Kelsea’s move to be familiar.


    No, it doesn’t just look familiar. In fact, I know it extremely well!


    Arielle couldn’t help but pause to look at the chessboard intently.


    Finally, she lifted her gaze and recalled where she had seen the gambit before.


    Isn’t this simr to the game I yed with Hans in Lightspring?


    During that time, she had made the move on a whim and beat Hans with it. Consequently, Hans was so


    astounded that he asked her to be his mentor.


    So why is Kelsea thinking the same way as I did?


    Suddenly, Arielle recalled that Kelsea had mentioned her chess mentor was Hans. Therefore, it was


    likely that Hans had told her about the match at Lightspring.


    Feeling amused, Arielle lips twitched.


    However, when Kelsea saw Arielle slow down her game, she broke into a smile and asked, “What’s


    wrong? Do you not have any moves left? It’s still not toote to admit defeat. Just prepare to kneel!”


    Arielle looked earnestly at Kelsea as she already knew what her next move was going to be.


    Recovering her gaze, Arielle pretended to be oblivious and continued their game.


    As the game progressed, Kelsea watched Arielle fall into the traps of the Lightspring Maneuver. She


    sneered, “Are you crazy? With that move you made, I’m going to win in two more steps. So, are you


    sure about it? I’m going to make my move soon.”

    All Arielle did in response was tap on the table to motion Kelsea to continue.


    “You are really good at acting calm in the face of being ughtered. What a joke!” Kelsea snorted as


    she moved ording to what Hans had taught her.


    When Arielle saw Kelsea make the exact same move she did, she nced at the timer.


    She then inly asserted, “I told you that I would defeat you in less than two minutes and you would


    then have to kneel before me. Now, there are thirty seconds left. If you admit defeat, I won’t require you


    to kneel.”


    She wanted to give Kelsea an opportunity on Carter’s ount.


    However, Kelsea scoffed at her suggestion.


    “Do you even know what you’re saying? You are going to lose in the next move.”


    Instead of answering, Arielle reminded her, “You still have twenty-seven seconds left.”


    Kelsea rolled her eyes.


    In the finals, the games were open for everyone to watch. Therefore most of the guests were either at


    Vinson’s game or Everett’s, leaving no one to watch Arielle y.


    Coincidentally, someone came over out of boredom.


    The person eximed all of a sudden, “Everyone! Come quickly! The famous Lightspring Maneuver is


    being executed here.”


    Arielle looked at the person in shock.


    Did a move I make on a whim evolve into the “famous Lightspring Maneuver?”


    Right after the person shouted, many others began to crowd around.


    “It really is the Lightspring Maneuver!”


    “She has learned the Lightspring Maneuver. I expect no less of Mr. Jewell’s student.”


    “What? She’s a student of Mr. Jewell’s? I would havee over much earlier if I knew it.”


    There was a good Samaritan who advised Arielle, “Miss, until today, no one has managed to find the


    solution to the Lightspring Maneuver. Hence, I think… it’s better that you concede defeat.”
