"They can't even stand this tension? What losers!" Matthew rigidly stated. On the board, the situation between the two was
getting more and more heated. He couldn't do anything to Zack, neither could the man force him to surrender. Matthew was not
in a hurry. Whether it was in the real war or the game, one should not be in a hurry or arrogant. Moreover, he should always keep
vigilant. Otherwise, he would give the enemy a chance to take advantage.
Meanwhile, Zack wasn't taking it that seriously and just smiled. "Your Highness, you seem very irritated. Is it because Harper's
friend you mentioned that day?"
"You think too much! No matter how many friends she has, no matter how covetous the enemies outside are, Harper's heart is
only for me. That's enough. As long as she loves me, no one can take her away from me." Matthew showed a smile, which
looked more of a smirk than a smile.
"Your Highness, you're so confident! Aren't you afraid of being humiliated someday?" Zack said with sarcasm.
"Up until now, only Harper has ever dared to embarrass me. All of the others are dead. By the way, Zack, you're old enough by
now. It's about time for you to get married. Otherwise, your parents would be worried about you." Matthew tried to provoke him.
Zack gently smiled in response. "Your Highness, I'm only twenty years old right now, seven years younger than you. If I'm old,
then you're older. Don't forget that you're also ten years older than Harper. In her mind, you will always be much older than me."
Matthew narrowed his eyes, quite dissatisfied with Zack provoking him. Although he didn't want to, he had to admit that he was

really older. Harper was only seventeen years old, and he was already twenty-seven. In the years to come, he would get older
and he wouldn't be as handsome as right now, but Harper would still be as beautiful as flowers. Would Harper be disgusted with

"An offense right through the heart is more effective than an offense in the body. Haven't you heard of it, Your Highness? Speaking of which, shouldn't you

he lost the game. More importantly, Harper would look at him in a different light, so he tried to control himself. "You're a good teacher." However, Zack's strategy was still working at a very steady pace. He neither pushed forward nor was greedy for credit. He even turned a blind eye to Matthew's trap. After a while, Matthew thought of something and

"I know, you're going to the Great Jade Kingdom to take part in the coronation of their empress," Zack calmly said.
"I meant, we're leaving this continent. We're going back to the Qin Clan's ancestral place. Try to guess if we're going to come
back or not," Matthew said, raising his voice a little.
Without any hesitation, Zack stated, "Of course, you will! Harper said that this place is her home. I bet she'll come back."
"You're wrong. What she means is anywhere that we're together is her home. If I'm not here, will this place still be her home? We
actually came back this time to say goodbye to you," Matthew said with a smirk on his face. He said these only to disturb Zack.

moment of panic, he soon calmed down. "I trust her. By the way, you lost, Your Highness." Zack then laughed while looking at him straight in the eyes. Looking at the game on the board, Matthew was forced to the dead end. He didn't have a choice but to admit that Zack was an opponent worth to be praised.
