"Come on, Robin, take a seat right here," Martin encouragéd, pulling Robin down beside him with enthusiasm...

Robin cast a quick glance at the chessboard set on the table, then shifted his gaze to Jack, whose eyes glimmered with anticipation. "Are you playing chess? Looks like you've already lost, old man." Jack shook his head defiantly. I've never lost to Old Mr. Wright in chess. Do you know how to play Co?"

Robin nodded, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "I know the basics, but I haven't played much."

Martin's face lit up. "Fantastic! If you can play, help me win a match against him!

"This guy has already beaten me several times this morning. Just look at how smug he is; I need you to take him down a notch!"

Freya observed the unusual behavior of her grandfather and Jack, noticing how intently they focused on Robin, as if trying to decipher something in his expression

She raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Jack, are you really going to play chess with Robin?"

"Yes," Jack answered, his attention unwavering

Robin lightly tapped Jack on the head. "What's with the staring, old man?"

Jack shot him a sideways glance.

Jack, there's something off about you. You've been fixated on me since I laid eyes on you. What's the deal? Do you

have some odd quirk or something?"

Jack shook his head, a slight pout forming on his lips. just want to figure out what secrets you might be hiding.

Robin chuckled. "Well, you'll just have to guess!"

Martin urged, "Come on, Robin. Set up the game and show him what you've got!"

Robin took in the eager expressions of both Martin and Jack. "Alright, I'll play a few games with you."

He stared at the configuration Robin had created, utterly baffled, and exclaimed, "Wait... didn't you say you only knew a little?" "What's wrong? Are you ready to give up already?" Robin shrugged. "Your skills are so weak that I'm starting to lose interest in playing Martin burst into laughter. Jack, it looks like your talent only shines when you're competing against me, hahahaha..

Jack wiped his forehead and retorted stubbornly, "I just wasn't focused this round.

"Dad, Mr. Shorts is here, Henry announced as he led an elderly man with white hair into the room.

Following closely behind was Ashley, the air marshal from Southorn Airlines.

Ashley was quite surprised to see Robin there, and when he spotted Freya beside him, a pang of jealousy surged through hùm.

The elderly man was none other than Benjamin, the president of the Draconia Go Association that Martin had mentioned earlier.

Two decades ago, Benjamin had served as the vice president of the Central Inspection Office in Draconia before he retired and devoted himself to the study of Go.

In recent years, he had gained recognition in the Southeast Aurientia Go community, becoming known as the Go Sage.

Throughout the last 20 years, Benjamin had mentored many disciples, including children of influential political and military families.

"Mr. Shorts, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," Martin said, rising to greet him.

Jack nodded slightly. "Mr. Shorts, it's been a while."

Benjamin frowned, recognizing Jack. "G-General Grayson?"

Years earlier, when Benjamin was involved with the Dragon Manor case, Jack was on Warriors of Dragon Soul. Twelve Great

*Their paths had crossed only once since then.

Noticing Benjamin's caution, Jack quickly shifted the topic. "Mr. Shorts, your accomplishments in Go are remarkable. Your skills have truly reached their zenith.

"I heard Mr. Martin mention you would be here today, and I was hoping to learn from you. But to be honest, I'm not worthy of your time, Jack added with a grin. Benjamin chuckled lightly. "General Grayson, you're too kind. Those compliments are just courtesy. There's always someone better, so I wouldn't dare to claim superiority!" Ashley watched Jack compliment his mentor and felt a swell of pride.

Jack changed his tone. "Mr. Shorts, this young man here is also quite talented. I can barely make three moves against him.

"No exaggeration, but his skills are undoubtedly at a master level."

Martin froze in disbelief.

Jack's statement was clearly provocative!

Ashley scoffed, "Master? You must be joking!

"No one dares to call themselves a master in front of my mentor, especially someone who hasn't even matured yet!"

Jack's eyes flared with anger as he glared at Ashley, finding the kid insufferably rude.

If it weren't for Benjamin's association, he would have made the kid grovel and apologize.

Benjamin scolded gently, "Ashley, mind your words!"

Then, turning to Robin with a smile, he remarked, "Him, quite impressive! In Go, age and status mean little"

Seeing that Benjamin wasn't provoked by Robin's skills, Jack pressed on, "Mr. Shorts, don't you want to see how this young man plays?" Benjamin's expression flickered with disdain. "Um... Today is Mr. Martin's celebration. Let's not waste time.

Martin laughed lightly. "Mr. Shorts, there's no hurry. The banquet hasn't started yet. It wouldn't hurt to have a game with the young man." With Martin's encouragement, Benjamin pointed to Ashley. "This is my disciple. Let the younger generation have a match."

Robin laughed. "Him? No, thanks. I think I'll pass!"

Benjamin appeared momentarily taken aback, sensing Robin's disdain.

To dismiss his disciple in front of him was a direct challenge to his authority!

Benjamin shot a glare at Robin, annoyance flashing in his eyes. "Young man, let's have a match!"
