The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 531 Lost

Black's words left Daniel speechless.

"Even shot from within the bench, had I not reacted quickly, my rear would have been speared. And you say the damage is minor? Sure, the dagger’s damage is minor, but it's incredibly insulting!"

"That was just an appetizer," Black maintained shamelessly. "Too bad you managed to dodge it, but no worries, there's always a second time!"

"Brother, you just captured thirty of my stones, but I'll return the favor double-fold. My next move will take sixty of yours, leaving you with no more counterplay and losing the game straight away."

"Hm," Black chuckled coldly.

After a thorough survey of the board, he was certain.

The country boy was bluffing.

Given the current layout, no matter where Daniel placed his next stone, there was no way he could capture sixty of Black's pieces. Moreover, the board visibly foreshadowed Daniel’s defeat – Black only needed to avoid any major mistakes to secure a comfortable win.

Convinced that Daniel couldn’t take sixty stones and considering the visible advantage, Black said dismissively, "Country boy, there’s no use bluffing with me; you've reached a dead end. Just concede and give up. If you concede now, you’ll only need to dodge one last dagger to retreat safely. However, if you refuse and the game continues, your life could end very soon."

"I've never conceded in my life, and I'm not about to start. I’d rather lose standing than concede."

"Unwilling to concede? Then proceed. I’m curious to see where you'll place your next stone. The board is ample, but it's no longer a place where your stones can survive."

"Is that so?" Daniel countered softly, then placed his next stone with the same light touch.
