"You're getting better, Zander..." Sean said with a chuckle.

Zander's chess skills had indeed improved, and it was unknown if he had practiced in private.

Zander also said to Sean, "Commander, you're much better than before too."

"Haha!" Sean nodded.

Just then, there was suddenly a knock at the door.

Is it that woman Aria again?

Zander frowned, but he got up to open the door anyway.

Once he opened the door, Zander discovered it was not the mayor's second daughter Aria, but Mayor Claremento himself!

Zander was slightly shocked.

Then he asked, "Sir, what are you doing here?"

Zander was greeting him, but it was also a reminder to Sean.

When Sean heard Zander's question, he knew it was Mayor Claremento who came to his room.

The average person would have been pleasantly surprised and greeted him by now with a compliment that would have strengthened his bond with Mayor Claremento. However, Sean was still sitting at his desk. He did not get up and did not even glance at the door.

"I have nothing to do. So I came to have a look..." Claremento said with a chuckle.

Zander let Claremento enter Sean's room and went to make
