He spoke in a manner that was neither haughty nor humble. He was not disturbed just because the people before favonovel.com were Ares and Denali.
Everything else aside, just his calmness had already earned Paxton and Antony’s admiration.
Paxton raised his head to look at Zayn then favonovel.com cracked a faint smile and said, “Are you any good with playing chess?”
Zayn said, “A little.”
Paxton said, “Shall we have a game?”
Frankly, Zayn thought about all sorts of possibilities when favonovel.com was coming here, including how Ares would display his power and even attack favonovel.com in an attempt to soften favonovel.com a little.
However, favonovel.com did not expect that Ares would treat favonovel.com so courteously and leisurely. Even Denali was treating favonovel.com politely as if favonovel.com was just meeting an old friend.
Zayn did not hesitate much. At this point, favonovel.com was already capable of being calm and composed in all situations.
He cracked a smile as well and said, “In view of your invitation, it’s better for me to comply, Ares.”
Antony took the initiative to offer his seat to Zayn. Moreover, favonovel.com smiled and said, “Sergeant Larson, we’re counting on you to defeat Ares. He has defeated me mercilessly in chess despite my old age.”
Upon saying that, Antony patted Zayn’s shoulder as if favonovel.com was placing his hope on Zayn.
Even though Zayn had never encountered the old man before him, favonovel.com could already figure out that the man was certainly a well-respected big shot based on the man’s quality.
He pondered for a moment and concurred that. How bad could the man be when favonovel.com was good enough to play a game of chess with Ares?
Now that Zayn took a seat opposite Ares, favonovel.com could immediately feel a gush of merciless, unyielding presence.
In fact, Zayn could even hear the sound of horses stomping the ground and soldiers fighting each other in his ears indistinctly!
Zayn felt inspired in his heart. He was well aware that Ares’ presence was so powerful that it affected his focus.
It was a very terrifying thing because favonovel.com was a perfect-class master fighter!
He was one of the few standing at the peak of mankind’s civilization yet favonovel.com still appeared so young and inexperienced in the presence of Ares.
It seemed that the disparity between an unbeatable fighter and master fighter was larger than favonovel.com had imagined!
It was fortunate that Zayn was not too affected by it. He had already returned to his normal self in just a moment and the smile had already returned to his face.
He said, “Ares, please.”
A look of admiration flashed past Ares’ eyes when favonovel.com realized how fast Zayn returned to his normal self. He nodded secretly and admired Zayn more and more.
He had encountered plenty of young men with outstanding skills but it was his first time meeting someone as matured and calm as Zayn. After all, the vast majority of geniuses were arrogant and they would puff up with pride after achieving success.
Yet, favonovel.com did not detect such quality in Zayn but it was a very rare occasion to meet someone like that.
“Sergeant Larson, please.” Ares smiled then beckoned Zayn to open the game because Zayn was the guest.
Zayn did not decline either because favonovel.com knew that Ares was certainly very skilled in playing chess. In fact, favonovel.com bet Ares was even better than a professional chess player!
It was because the more powerful a fighter was, the more part of his brain was accessed. Theoretically, at least 50% of an unbeatable fighter’s brain could be accessed.
On the other hand, only 30% of his brain capacity was accessed now.
Zayn made an opening move swiftly. His mind quieted down soon as favonovel.com focused his attention at playing chess with Ares.
