Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 525 Backing Out?

I… I actually lost? In that instant, Sophie was thoroughly shocked as her face blanched. Things got so complicated she could only feel embarrassment and frustration.

Quickly, everyone sensed the shift in favor. Elise turned the table by just making a move backward, forcing Sophie into detriment. At once, the crowd felt a chill when they peered at Elise, realizing how lethal the woman was. She remained silent the whole time, and before they realized it, her opponent was already on the brink of defeat. And that could only be pulled off by someone who had absolute confidence in her own chess skills!

Meanwhile, Sophie, having lost all her optimism, could only maintain her sitting posture when she fell onto the support of her chair. She couldn’t bring herself to accept that she had fallen by Elise’s hands, especially after she had nailed such a high-level tactic.

Elise shot her a subtle grin. “So are you going to forfeit, or are we going to finish the game and you still lose anyway?”

Finish the game? How am I supposed to do that? No matter what Sophie’s next move was, it would only show the audience that she was bound to lose regardless of how hard she struggled.

At that moment, Elise revealed a smirk as she gave Sophie a taste of her own medicine. “What’s with the silence, Miss Sophie? It’s my first time seeing a player so bad and so disrespectful.” Her smirk grew charmingly wider, while Sophie guiltily gulped. Eventually, the latter loosened her gripping fists and took a deep breath. She raised her hand and put down her king piece, admitting her defeat to Elise.

At the same time, Kenneth, who had just finished his match, came to see the ladies’ match. Seeing Elise retain her cool look as she won, he let out a deep sigh, feeling the pressure within him getting heavier.

He could not let his guard down for a second or he might just fail to keep up with such an outstanding woman. After collecting his feelings, he moved up and asked a question everyone had been thinking. “How did you spot the weakness in her strategy?”
