Salute To The General

Many were curious about how Nathan would fight against all three opponents in three different fields. Szymon made his way to the center of the hall and glared at Nathan before asking, "Shall we begin, Mr. Cross?" "Sure!"

Nathan was at ease even as he made his way to the center of the hall. He stopped when he was less than three meters away from Szymon. The two warriors glared at one another, and it looked like an epic battle was about to break out. Szymon shot a look at the board games that were ongoing on both sides. Curious, he was going to ask Nathan how he was going to fight while playing against the two masters.

Turned out that he didn't even need to do that.

Nathan issued the order to Carlos at the very next second. "Ambassador Knight, please take a seat at the checkers' table. You will move the pieces as per my instructions."

Carlos was momentarily stunned, but he accepted the orders after he came around. "Understood, Mr. Cross."

After saying all that, he went and sat opposite Westley.

Nathan thought about it before he murmured, "As for chess..."

Penny volunteered. "I'll do it. I'll move the pieces for you. All you need to do is tell me which ones to move and where to move them."

Nathan grinned and replied, "Okay."

Penny gracefully made her way to her seat and sat in front of Sandy.
