Chapter 370 Couldn't Tolerate Anyone Else's Success
Ashley's disgraceful act of unsportsmanlike conduct had tarnished his mentor's standing.
Losing a chess game was no major tragedy.
In any domain, no one can claim to be the ultimate champion forever.
But losing one's integrity? That was an entirely different matter!
Integrity was the foundation: chess skills were just the method.
If one lost their integrity, they would lose everything.
Even if one conquered the world, they would remain nothing but a pawn!

He pointed at Ashley and shouted, "Get out! If you lack even the most basic sense of integrity, what are you doing studying Go?!
"From this day forward, you are no longer my apprentice! I sever all ties with you and the Ortegas!"
"Mr. Shorts, what's wrong? I... General Wright..." Clement rushed in with Henry, nearly out of breath
The tense atmosphere in the room made him shudder.
Clement practically bowed as he approached Benjamin
Benjamin pointed at Clement. "Take your useless son away! From now on, I have nothing to do with the Ortegas!
Clement's legs weakened, nearly causing him to collapse.
He understood the weight of Benjamin's words.
If Benjamin expelled Ashley from his apprenticeship and severed all connections with the Ortegas, it

It would mean the Ortegas had crossed Benjamins.
Those powerful figures would undoubtedly seek retribution against the Ortegas!
"You brat, grovel!" Clement shouted, kicking Ashley to the ground.
"What on earth have you done to provoke your mentor's wrath?
"Apologize immediately to Mr. Shorts and General Wright!"
Ashley groveled, shouting, "Dad, Mr. Shorts, it's not my fault!
T... I just thought it was humiliating for my mentor to play chess with this pathetic boy toy!"

The opulent presidential suite was filled with an oppressive tension, as if the very air was thick with impending disaster. Initially, Benjamin intended to dismiss Ashley to quell the anger brewing in Martin and his associates.
However, this reckless individual dared to insult a respected guest of Martin's.
If the Ortegas did not face severe consequences today, they would be in deep trouble.
Martin's expression darkened, casting an ominous shadow over his features. "What did you just say?"
A colonel standing guard immediately reached for his weapon.
Under Martin's orders, he would not hesitate to use it against Ashley!
No esteemed general could tolerate such brazen disrespect from someone so insignificant!
Unaware of the gravity of the situation, Ashley continued his tirade.
In contrast, Clement, fully aware of what was at stake, felt a surge of anxiety coursing through him.
Martin had served his country honorably as a general and still held significant po
in retirement.
Furthermore, Ashley's outburst was a blatant challenge to his authority.
"Clement felt a deep anger rising within him, wishing he could shake some sense into this defiant child.
"G-General Wright, this ungrateful brat has no idea what he's gotten himself into! I-I sincerely apologize for his behavior!"
Before anyone from the Wright family could respond. Ashley's next outburst nearly sent Clement into a frenzy.
"I'm not lying!" Ashley exclaimed, jumping up in a frenzy.
"Just last week, that disgusting gigolo boarded a flight with our Southorn Airlines to Terenova, 1 saw him with an elderly woman in her sixties! "Dad, Mr. Wright, think about it! What right does this trash, who crawls among the lowly, have to challenge my mentor in chess?"
The presidential suite descended into a stunned silence.
Clement was left speechless, unsure how to react.
Ashley had just insulted Martin's guest, labeling him as lowly trash!

Henry's expression turned grave. "Clement, your son isn't just insulting Mr. Ramsey; he's insulting the entire Wright family!
"Mr. Ramsey is a cherished guest of the Wrights and my father's savior. How can he dare to speak to him that way? Is this how you raise a son?"
Finally snapping back to reality, Clement bowed. "Mr. Henry, Mr. Martin, this ungrateful child has lost his senses! I'll take him home and ensure he learns a proper lesson!" "I will
guarantee he makes amends, groveling and begging you two for forgiveness."
Martin, both furious and somewhat amused, replied with a bitter smile, "Clement! I won't forget this incident involving the Ortegas. Now get lost....
Initially, he wished to dismiss such filth and cut ties with both Clement and Ashley altogether.
But suddenly, Ashley jumped up again, pointing at Robin and continuing his rant. "Mr. Min. Mr. Henry, are you really saying that this pathetic man is your guest?
....
"If word spreads that a boy toy who exploits wealthy old women is considered a guest of Wrights, won't that be a complete joke?"noveldrama
Clement nearly fell over in disbelief.
This brat is directly insulting the Wrights! The Ortegas are doomed!

"He tricks old women out of their money, pretending to be a successful man, while his true motives are utterly revolting!"
At that moment, the room fell silent.
Is Ashley trying to provoke Mr. Martin into issuing a death sentence?
Clement felt tears welling up.
My son is a complete disaster, an utter embarrassment!
Robin wiped the three black chess pieces in his hand with a wet wipe, chuckling softly.
"Ashley, I've never understood why you, a total stranger, harbor such hatred towards me. What have I done to deserve this!

"I let you off the hook the first time, but the second time, I still didn't want to deal with someone as lowly as you. Touching you would only dirty my hands.
"Today marks your third attempt at provoking me!
"Do you really think insulting me is amusing?
"I want you to know, insulting me could cost you your life!"
With a shake of his head. Robin tossed the three clean black chess pieces into the air.

Yet, as the match unfolded, he was struck by the realization that it was far more intricate than he had anticipated.
Never had he imagined that his mentor would find himself in such a challenging situation against Robin's strategy!
He watched as Benjamin, his white hair gleaming under the dim lights, became fully engrossed in the black and white pieces before him, seemingly terrified that even a blink might cause him to miss a crucial play.
In one moment, he was dripping with sweat; in the next, he was lost in contemplation.
Then, a glimmer of excitement flickered in his eyes.
Since becoming Benjamin's apprentice, Ashley had never witnessed such a comple from his mentor during a game.
It was obvious that he was contending with a formidable rival!

This adversary inspired a deep respect within him, which was reflected in the fluctuating expressions on Benjamin's face.
Turning his gaze to Robin, who lounged with an air of superiority, Ashley felt a wave of envy wash over him.
From the moment he saw Robin, discomfort swelled within him.
How could this guy surpass me in talent?
Every time it matters, it seems Robin bask in the spotlight.
On the plane, he effortlessly captured Alison's attention.
Now, he is winning over my mentor as well!
Both were individuals Ashley had long admired-one woman he had feelings for, the offer the mentor he relied on. He was overshadowed by Robin in front of both of them, leaving him feeling unsettled.

The pieces scattered in chaos, ruining what had been a beautiful game.
"W-what have you done?!" Benjamin shouted, rage surong as he slapped Ashley across the face.
"Mr. Shorts, I-I thought you looked tired... Ashley stammered, clutching his stinging cheek while shooting a furious glare at Robin.
"You scoundrel! You've ruined a magnificent game of chess!"
Jack and Martin, who had been watching intently, were taken aback by Ashley's reckless act.

This wasn't just a breach of etiquette; it was downright savage!
A gentleman would aid others in their success, whereas the petty man would only seek to undermine them.
This scoundrel, who couldn't tolerate anyone else's success, deserved to be punished!
Robin leaned back against the couch, watching Ashley with an amused expression, a slight smile playing on his lips.
