The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 2215

The youth was aware of Pax's other arrangements.

Seeing Frank here meant that Frank had already killed the red-fur monster, and he was naturally terrified.

"Don't worry." Alda quickly went up and assured him nonetheless. "Mr. Frankton won't kill innocents. Why don't you start by telling us who you are?"

The youth stammered, "Pax brought me here against my will... To play chess!"

Frank understood right then. "So I can proceed once I beat you?"

The youth quickly nodded but soon shook his head. "Actually, that's not all. I mean, I could just let you pass... but Pax said I can only do that if you beat me at chess, or he'd make me suffer. Please, you have to help me!" Frank smiled and nodded. "I like an honest person, so I'll make an exception for you."

With those words, he took a seat in front of the youth, but the youth whispered under his breath, "Wait! There's a penalty if you lose. You have to be careful!"

As he spoke, he glanced downward pointedly.

Frank followed his gaze and found several openings, clearly where the concealed contraptions would shoot out.

"It's alright. I'm not going to lose." Frank chuckled.

Meanwhile, Pax and his goons were watching interestedly from the control room.

"There's no way he's getting away now, is he?" A goon chuckled.

Another goon agreed. "Blackie is the chess champion of the town, and Lugh Frankton is no pro. He's definitely losing this one."

Everyone else nodded-even if Frank

was the strongest person they had ever seen in a fight, he would definitely be short in the brain department, so he would lose.

BUMS

Pax actually agreed with that but said coolly, "Don't celebrate just

Yegh Frankton's speed,he

would have no problem dodging the contraption."

While the goons knew that Pax was right, it was still thrilling to see Frank lose.

Soon, the youth had castled, but he did not appear pleased.

Whether through skill or luck, Frank had kept avoiding any effort to corner him, denying a clear victor.

"I'm surprised you're this good at chess," Alda said, so bored that she was making small talk with Frank.

Frank shrugged. "I've never played much, but you can understand how the whole thing works by understanding the principle."

The youth flashed a pained smile. "Now you're just being humble. To be frank, I think you're above me."

Alda was at once surprised and delighted. "Well, that's only to be expected. He knows everything, and mere chess was never going to trouble him."

In reality, it was not just her who was surprised everyone in the control room was too.

"No way!" a goon exclaimed. "Even prodigies need training, or they'd never beat a pro!"

Pax smiled but said nothing-only ignorant people like his goons would say something like that.

Real geniuses did not have to learn, as they would unravel the essence of a subject in the shortest time.

And clearly, Lugh was one such genius-something which Pax could tell. Both the man's skill in medicine and martial arts had already proven unmatched in this town, and that could only mean that he was someone special.

"Hey, I think things are turning around!" one of the goons who somewhat knew chess exclaimed just then.
