Chapter 516 Duel (3)

Lihua rapidly blinked her eyes.

Chess?

Chess?

Chess!!!??? Is he freaking kidding me?

"Hey! You cannot change the rules of the challenge so suddenly!"

The man, Si Changpu, sneered. "What happened? Are you suddenly afraid of the game now?"

Her expression didn't look good. "What do you mean? I don't know how to play chess. You all know how to play Ludo. That's why my challenge was fair."

Hu Duan finally found a chance to take a dig at Lihua. "Oh so you finally seem rattled. Hah! You chose Ludo because you knew you were good at it. How is that fair?"

"Yeah! He is right!"

""Play chess!"

Lihua sneered. "So you want to say that if this man wins the chess round, it might be my defeat. But are you using your heads? You all have already lost. So is it unfair that one man gets a pass because he is good at chess? I am telling you all already. I am not gonna have a rematch with you. One by one, everyone will say that I am good at mahjong or I am good at cards. We cannot have challenges with different games."

The men who lost twitched their mouths. It was indeed true that nobody will tolerate a different challenge for Si Changpu. How would it be fair if everybody else lost but not him because he changed the rules?

"And what do you mean that I am good at it? Playing Ludo is seventy percent luck. It's not my problem if your luck sucks."

Everybody whispered among themselves. They wanted Lihua to lose, but at the same time, they didn't want only Si Changpu to win while they suffered bitter losses.

Si Changpu snorted. "Song Lihua. If I may remind you this is the Underworld. There is nothing fair and unfair here. It's lawless. These fools were stupid enough to fall for it. But not me. Even if I had been the very first person in the game, I would have still changed it to chess."

"Hey!" The crowd was definitely displeased about Si Changpu's attitude now. Wu Hao gritted his teeth.

This cunning fox! Damn he is lying through his teeth! He observed everybody's games and when he felt that he would lose against this woman too, he is now conveniently changing the challenge! That's why he was hiding in the crowd to observe!

Wu Hao sneered. "Sorry, Si Changpu. But it ain't gonna do it. We all played Ludo, so it's only fair that you play the same game. As for the Underworld being lawless, if we hadn't cared about rules, then we wouldn't have accepted her challenge in the first place."

Hu Duan snorted. "Yeah, now you cannot bring the underworld way of doing things for your own benefit."

The crowd joined Wu Hao and Hu Duan. Si Changpu clenched his fist.

Fucking bastard Wu Hao! He is bitter because he didn't come up with this idea.

Lihua inwardly gulped and prayed.

Good, good. Fight among yourselves for all I care. As long as we play Ludo, I don't care how much you fight.

"Go ahead with chess."

Jiang Zhen's voice came from above. The crowd looked up and they choked, seeing him on the deck.

T-The Mafia King! He was here the whole time?

Only the emcee wasn't shocked because he already knew about his presence.

"Mr. Jiang!"

Lihua stiffened. She slowly raised her head and narrowed her eyes. He smiled and waved his hand. "I see you had a good time playing Ludo. So, I thought why not make this last round a bit different and interesting? Let's put higher stakes."

Wu Dao pursed his lips. "Mr. Jiang. I-I just.."

He raised his palm. "I already heard everything. Indeed to change the rules for one person is annoying for the rest of the people here when they have already lost their women and money. So let's do it this way. If Si Changpu won, then my dear Song Lihua..will hand over all the women to the ones who bought them."

She froze. The women who were timidly sitting behind her, paled as if they saw a ghost.

Our freedom relies on this single game? So the wins of all the previous games will be nullified!?

Jiang Zhen smiled. "And I am the Mafia King. So, you cannot overturn my decision."

Hearing this, the crowd felt relieved.

If we get our women back, then who cares if Si Changpu plays Ludo or chess!? No, it's better if he plays chess!

Now everybody showed their hypocrisy. Those who were talking against Si Changpu were now in his full support.

His eyes twinkled. "Great. I like this challenge."

Lihua shot killing glares at Jiang Zhen.

You..do you think you can pull me down with this!?

But what should I do? I really don't know how to play chess! I don't have that kind of brain to make strategies in chess!

Suddenly, she lamented wasting her time when she was Wei's wife.

I should have learned a lot of intelligent stuff from Wei while I was at the Jiang villa! He is sea of amazing IQ, and I just dilly dallied the whole time!

Her heart was beating fast in trepidation. After so much hard work and feeling the tension, she finally freed the women from their despairing fate. Now everything was up to this one game?

If I lost, then these women..I am the only hope they have!

historical

Jiang Zhen said, "Of course, if you refused then the result will be the same. You lose all the women."

She gave it a thought and then slowly said, "I agree."

The women were immediately frightened.

"But I have a condition too. If you are raising the stakes, then so will I."

He raised his brow. "What is it?"

"If I won, of course, I will win over the last woman. But," she narrowed her eyes, "Apart from that, you will stop this sex slave business forever. You won't ever hold such auctions anymore, and you would never sell any woman to anyone."

Silence.

What the hell!? Is she crazy!?

"Deal," Jiang Zhen said.

Si Changpu waved his hand. "Don't need to panic. I am confident in my chess skills. She would never win."

The crowd settled down hearing that.

Yeah she said she doesn't know how to play chess. She has no chance!

The emcee replaced the Ludo board with a chess board, and the tokens with chess pieces.

Lihua began to sweat.

L-Let's just rely on my luck..

"Begin!"

Lihua's side was white, so she was to make the first move.

Umm..well for now, I have to move a pawn, right? But umm...which pawn? What is the difference?

Lihua prayed to God and randomly picked a pawn to move when her hand was stopped midway.

She blinked and looked at the small fist holding her hand.

Ruru climbed onto Lihua's lap holding his fluffy friend teddy bear in his other hand. He faced the chess board expressionlessly and said, "I will play."
