Two old men were playing chess inside a villa. With a clack, the white knight moved toward the opposition side and knocked away an opponent's chess piece. It seemingly made a loud crash, causing the chessboard to shake.

Brad's wrinkled face sported a smile as he exclaimed loudly, "Checkmate!"

Sitting across Brad, the old man's expression darkened as the muscles on his face twitched. He tossed aside the chess piece.

"I see the chessboard as a battlefield. From the very first move, I'm playing to win. I never go easy on anyone either.

"But today, I made an exception and let you win three games. You should fill me in on that mysterious man right now."

It was Hugh Walker. He was one of the few generals who had fought in wars and the only one who could stand toe-to-toe with Brad.

Hugh furrowed his brows. "Are you going to spill it or not?"

Brad continued, "Honestly, he's good at what he does, but he's not impressive enough to earn our respect. I don't think he's fit to wear Juprus Ring yet."
