Chapter 84: Attack and defense (1/2)

Readers were confused in the last chapter if the photograph given by the old man was of Suyin or Wang Shi thought about her. Well. Wang Shi thought about her.

I won't say anything about the woman in the picture. Anyway, he tore the photograph already.

Black stone 59th move, 6th point vertically, 9th point horizontally.

Wang Nan smirked at his smart move, 'I've occupied the star points. There's no way this kid could defeat me.'

”I'm surprised you know how to play this! And I must say you're a skillful player.” Though Wang Nan doesn't like Honey (credit goes to his father's instigation), he was not stingy to praise Honey's skills.

Being a crazy 'Go' lover and a national champion, any other player who displays exceptional skill in this game of mind was worthy of his respect. Even if it's an enemy, he won't shy to learn and appreciate his skills.

Without a change in expression, Honey pressed a little white stone between his own little fingers and placed it on the board.

”What? How did.” shocked, he can't break through Honey's strong defense and found himself cornered, ”How come I didn't notice I was surrounded from behind? When did you do that?”

”Be a man! Kow-tow!”

”First tell me how did you do that? What strategy did you use?” While looking at Honey's stones, he tried to decipher but failed. Just like chess, no one can cheat in a game of Go. So this was definitely a new strategy!

”All you did was attack, but I attacked and defended both. A king should always have an exit plan ready to leave if the situation turns unfavorable. This way, he could attack the enemy again, with a different strategy. Now, kow-tow.”

”Leave a way out and take a step back if you find yourself trapped and attack again! Woww..” Wang Nan stared down at the board. He was a better player without a doubt, but Honey was a strategist that gave him the upper hand. ”Where did you learn it from? What else strategy do you have?”

”KOW-TOW!”

”Will you tell me after that?”

Honey frowned, ”I won't repeat.”

Wang Nan earnestly stood up and kow-tow thrice to the old housekeeper, shocking everyone in the house.

What just happened? Has this snobby master lost his mind?

Though it was not done sincerely, the housekeeper nodded seeing Wang Nan's pleading eyes. Bringing him to his knees was already more than enough.

”Now will you tell me everything?” like a kid expecting a reward, Wang Nan moved back to Honey's side. However, this little master was famous for his temper and coldness who would only speak to the person he wants. Everyone else may go to hell!

Elder Wang saw the scene unfold. ”Did you see that? That's the reason I want the company to be passed onto Honey. Such a genius my little one is.”

Wang Shi didn't reply, wondering from where Honey learned this trick. According to his knowledge, he learned this game from the butler of the house. But this thought process behind the game was definitely not butlers'.
