Chapter 190
The host thought, “Did she really think that a pretty face could trump Rebecca at chess? Rebecca is a grandmaster, for Pete's sake! Number one on the entire web! What could this rookie, who's been accused of cheating, possibly have on Rebecca?”
Rebecca gave a nod, "Sure thing. If you lose, I expect you to own up to your mistake and promise never to cheat again! If you can manage that, the doors of RealTimeFlow will always be open to you."
[Not only should she admit her mistake, but she should also apologize to our Rebecca!] Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
[Ahh! Go, Rebecca! You rock!]
[That's how you deal with a cheater!]
[Rebecca is NUMBER ONE! Some shameless newbies better not play the victim when they lose.]
[Can't wait for Rebecca to school this wannabe!]
[Big face-slapping moment coming up, ah, I've got my screen recording ready, can't wait for Rebecca to crush the newbie!]
[Waiting for the cheater's apology!]
[So pumped! This is gonna be epic!]
With the stakes set, the match began. With the system's guidance, Rebecca made her first move with caution.
Anthea didn't hesitate, immediately placing her piece right after.
Rebecca came on strong. In less than three minutes, she'd captured five of Anthea's pieces.
And Anthea? She hadn't taken a single one, completely on the back foot.
Rebecca eyed Anthea with a smirk, "The game's pretty much decided. Don't you think it's pointless to go on? It's just a waste of time."
Anthea calmly placed a piece, her voice light, "The game isn't over until it's over. What's the rush?"
Rebecca's lip curled into a half-smile as she said, "Well, if you're not ready to throw in the towel, I'll play you to the end. But no matter how long this drags on, it won't change the outcome. You've made mistakes, sure, and even though you cheated before, your chess skills aren't too shabby. I've been playing chess for years; you shouldn't get too hung up on winning or losing."
She had top-tier chess skills, courtesy of the system.
What did Anthea have? Even if she wasn't the same as before, she couldn't beat her!
[Haha, Rebecca's amazing!]
[That cheater's got no shame, still struggling!]
[Rebecca's the bomb!]
[Cheater's just wasting time, doesn't she know Rebecca's time is precious?]
[Losing is losing, why waste time?]
In the audience, Daniel was fixated on the big screen, astonished, "Ms. Morris is incredible! Ms. Yeager is going down, damn! Did Ms. Yeager actually cheat in her last live stream?"
As he spoke, Rebecca captured another one of Anthea's pieces.
If Anthea were as good as she claimed, she wouldn't be completely outclassed in this match.
But as it stood, Anthea wasn't just on the back foot; she was in complete disarray.
Faced with Rebecca's relentless assault, she was powerless to retaliate.
There could only be one explanation, that was Anthea had really cheated before.
Otherwise, there was no way she could've beaten Rebecca so easily in their last live stream.
"Never thought Ms. Yeager would cheat..." Daniel couldn't quite articulate his feelings.
Truth be told, Anthea's behavior was a real letdown.
Wanting to win is normal, but cheating crosses the line.
If everyone started pulling an Anthea, what would become of the chess community?
"She didn't cheat," a deep voice interjected from beside him, "And she's not going to lose."
Daniel glanced at Sherman.
Sherman's eyes were glued to the big screen, a barely discernible smile playing at his lips.
Her approach to the game remained as unpredictable as ever.
Seemingly erratic, yet each move was a trap. One careless step, and you'd fall right into it.
Rebecca seemed to have the upper hand, but she was actually walking into the trap, step by step.
Seeing Sherman's confidence, Daniel sighed in resignation.
He thought Sherman had lost it.
Anthea was on the brink of defeat, yet he still believed Anthea would win...
Was he enchanted by her? Even though Anthea was a tech genius, with a formidable reputation, cheating was cheating. Why was Sherman turning a blind eye?
