"Oh, really?" Felix became interested. "Is it because Aunt Harper is a terrible player at Go?"

"A terrible player?" Lucas blurted out with a plaintive look on his face. "Not at all. Even when Carlson and I cooperated as a team, we couldn't prevail against her. In fact, we had started the game as a match against Lilian, but Aunt Harper took over for Lillian halfway. We were about to win, but when she took over, we struggled to survive and she won at last."

"Really? Is she such an impressive player?" Felix didn't believe Lucas. "Come on, Lucas. You don't need to exaggerate about her to please Uncle Matthew, do you?"

"Trust me, Felix. I didn't lie. Her skills are on a par with Master Chodak's, and she only loses a few stones when playing with Uncle Matthew. Doesn't that mean she's a master at Go? If not her, who could possibly be considered a master?" Lucas said. He knew Felix didn't believe him, but he also knew Felix had never seen Harper play Go, so his skepticism was un

. He just asked, "Have you ever heard the proverb which says that one man's poison is another man's meat?"

Harper paused for a while before she said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. He's not an idiot. In fact, he's even cleverer than me. Chodak, shall we play another round?"

"Why not?" Chodak said as he began to pick up the stones. "As long as you won't humiliate me if you win again."

"Ahem! Ahem!" Harper had a choking cough. Lilian quickly patted her back softly and said, "Don't fall for his tricks. You must win."

Looking at Lilian, and then Chodak, Harper felt complicated feelings stirring in her heart. Chodak did not have feelings for Lilian. To be more precise, he would not allow himself to have feelings for any woman. Lilian was doomed to have a painful time if her heart was truly set on him. Harper knew perfectly well that she was an outsider, and that she had better not interfere. It was better to let the problem be resolved by the two people whom it concerned.
