The old man frowned. He stared intently at the board and gasped, his eyes filled with disbelief. Ling Su... had actually sacrificed a vast number of her own pieces to bring her entire position... back to life!
Ling Su showed no trace of triumph, her expression as placid as ever. Yet this calm demeanor was now more infuriating than any open mockery. She said, "So, Lord Zhe, life is like a game of chess. Until the very end, who can say who will win and who will lose?"
"Hahaha, a fine 'life is like a game of chess'!" The old man shot to his feet, kicked over the board in front of him, and sneered, "And just like that, the game is over! Control... will only ever be in my hands!"
Ling Su remained unprovoked. She stood and gently stretched her slightly numb legs, then said, "You are far too arrogant, and your ambitions are too grand. In the end, your own nature will be your downfall!"
