Chapter 148: I’d Appreciate Your Guidance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jessica Daimler was the American Chess Association’s president and the top female chess player in the world. She had arrived in San Francisco because of the match with Carl Gillies.

Faced with her disciple’s question, Jessica Daimler merely shook her head. “No. Maybe I’ll put it in another way—there’s nobody in this whole country that is my match.”

Jessica Daimler dared to say so.

If anyone else had said so, they definitely would’ve been lambasted by all other chess players.

But Jessica Daimler wasn’t bragging. It was true that she could beat every single other player in this country.

If anyone didn’t want to admit to that, they could have a round against her.

Jessica Daimler was confident of thrashing her opponents.

“Master, since he isn’t talented, why did you want to have a match against him?”

In recent years, Jessica Daimler no longer played as many games as she had in the past. On the one hand, she had toned down with age and no longer enjoyed the fierce competition. On the other hand, she couldn’t find anyone who was capable enough to go against her.

“Because of you.”

“Because of me?” Megan Daimler was curious about what this had to do with her.

“All these years, you’ve been building up your own reputation. But every time anyone talks about you, they always add that you’re my disciple. While they’re not wrong, it’s limiting your growth. You have to overcome this barrier, so I’ve chosen ten people for you. Each of these ten people is a top player in the country and is known for different things. The one I’ve chosen for today is the president of San Francisco’s chess association.”

“I’ll help you defeat him—completely. I’ll then bring you to more tournaments, and you’ll have to win every single one of them. Wait and see if I’ll chop your hand off if you dare to lose even one of them.”

Megan Daimler held her head up high, her expression full of confidence. “Master, don’t worry. I won’t lose.”

Megan Daimler wasn’t being boastful; she was simply confident in herself because she was Jessica Daimler’s disciple.

…

San Francisco’s chess association.

A crowd had already gathered because everyone knew that Jessica Daimler was going to appear.

Of course, some young men were even waiting for Megan Daimler’s appearance.

“Mr. Gillies, when will Ms. Daimler come?” Everyone in the association was especially respectful toward Jessica Daimler.

It was all because she had once said that none of them even had the right to enter the American Chess Association, so they had no right to address her as ‘president.’ They could only address her as ‘Ms. Daimler.’

At that time, Jessica Daimler had been terribly arrogant while saying that, and many had been offended. Yet, these people simply felt that it was her right to do so.

After all, it was Jessica Daimler they were talking about. If she wasn’t this arrogant, she never would’ve become the top female chess player in the world.

“What’s the hurry? She’s already landed, and she’ll be here soon.”

“Mr. Gillies, is Megan Daimler really coming with her?” It was obvious that there were many who cared about the young and beautiful Megan Daimler.

“Look at all of you. Can’t you be more mature? You should be thinking about how to play against her. All of you are such idiots! Do you think she’d fall for any of you?” Carl Gillies was easy-going and was just trying to make a joke.

Of course, the others weren’t angered by his joke either. “Mr. Gillies, you make it sound so easy. Does that mean you can defeat Ms. Daimler so that she’ll respect you too?”

Carl Gillies’s expression darkened.?‘Why do they have to bring this up? If I could beat Jessica Daimler, I’d be the American Chess Association’s president! Thankfully, I’ve already invited Finn Taylor. Given his skills, he won’t lose too badly to Jessica Daimler even if he does lose. In that case, Jessica Daimler would see that I’m not any worse in raising disciples than her. This would mean that I would be able to preserve my dignity at the very least.’

“Carl Gillies, are you ready to lose?” Just then, someone strolled over while chuckling.

Of course, it was Third Master Gold. Following closely behind him was Kimberly Gold.

“Oh, you’re finally here, you old b*stard. Don’t worry. I’m not going to lose.” Although he said so, Carl Gillies understood that he wasn’t going to win either.

However, Third Master Gold didn’t harp on the topic because even he knew that Carl Gillies had no chance of winning.

He was only here to see whether Finn Taylor or Jessica Daimler would take the victory.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just then, a loud noise could be heard outside.

Two beautiful women strolled into San Francisco’s chess association while surrounded by throngs of people.

‘They’re here!’?Everyone could clearly see that the two women were finally here.

“Ms. Daimler.” Even with his status, Carl Gillies had to address Jessica Daimler respectfully.

However, the latter just nodded blandly. It was obvious just how vastly different their statuses were.

“You’re finally here, Jessica Daimler.” On the other hand, Third Master Gold was much more casual. Since he wasn’t part of the chess circle, there was no need for any talk of seniority between him and Jessica Daimler.

Given the Gold family’s resources, the chess association would even ask them for sponsorship sometimes. This was why he dared to address Jessica Daimler by her full name.

“Oh, you’re here too, Third Master Gold.” As expected, Jessica Daimler replied to him.

“I’m here to watch you play.”

But a cold glance flashed past Jessica Daimler’s eyes. She was a little curious.?‘It’s clear that Carl Gillies will definitely lose the match. Why did he bother telling Third Master Gold about this? Isn’t he afraid of being embarrassed?’

“Carl Gillies, I don’t have much time. Why don’t we start now?” Jessica Daimler didn’t like to waste any time and got straight to the point.

As for Carl Gillies, he had already set a chessboard up and was just waiting for Jessica Daimler’s arrival.

The latter glanced at the chessboard but didn’t sit down. She turned to her disciple. “Sit. Let Mr. Gillies give you some guidance. Otherwise, you might get too cocky about yourself.”

Jessica Daimler seemed to be chiding her disciple, but Carl Gillies’s expression fell.?‘What does she mean? Didn’t we agree to have a match with each other? How can she suddenly get her disciple to play against me instead? Seniority is of priority in this circle. I’m the president of San Francisco’s chess association, so why should I have to play against Jessica Daimler’s disciple?’

“Ms. Daimler, I think that’s not right. Won’t I be at fault if I defeat your disciple?” Carl Gillies was fuming. He hadn’t understood the situation earlier, but he did now.

Jessica Daimler was trying to use him to raise her disciple up.

‘How can you do that? We had a deal, but you’re going back on your word. This is ridiculous.’

“That doesn’t matter. If she loses, you don’t have to take it to heart either. She’s not that skilled anyway.”

Carl Gillies roared, “Since that’s the case, why don’t you give my disciple some guidance as the American Chess Association’s president, Ms. Daimler?”
