From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 136

Mr. A followed his assistant’s cues as he navigated the game.

His moves were noticeably different from the last round, a fact that didn’t escape Anthea’s sharp gaze. She detected the shift in strategy, but she was in no mood for a drawn–out battle. This time, she was all about a swift and decisive victory. Otherwise, she would have taken great pleasure in leading Mr. A on a merry chase.

Within a mere ten moves, Anthea had effectively blocked all of Mr. A’s escape routes.

“Checkmate, Mr. A.”

Mr. A turned ashen. He had been following the guide to the letter. How could he have lost? His assistant was equally dumbstruck. He never imagined that anyone could outsmart the smartphone strategies!

“Holy cow! She’s incredible.”

‘Don’t be a sore loser this time, alright?”

Mr. A’s fans quieted down in an instant.

Their pride was smacked with a resounding slap.

Anthea didn’t waste any more time and cut off the live connection right away.

Her match with Mr. A instantly topped the trending charts on the streaming platform.
