The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 51

"Just only you? You want to defeat me? Are you insane?" Luna Wood said disdainfully, "How shameless you are! You actually want to be my grandmaster, my master’s master?"

Casey Davies smiled and said, "It’s me who taught your master's how to play chess. In a sense, I’m his master, do you believe it?"

"I believe you shit!" Luna said firmly, "You want to be my master's master, uh-huh? You wish."

Until now, Luna still thought that Casey was a good-for-nothing. Because Casey and Owen Austin were related, she was willing to help Casey to cure his disease.

"If you lose to me, you have to call me master. You have to listen to me in the future." Luna continued.

"It’s a deal." Casey directly agreed.

Luna sneered, looking at Casey disdainfully. She had never lost to anyone in playing chess.

Now her level of playing chess had reached a very high level. Even if her master wanted to win her, he had to try his best, let alone Casey.

However, she didn't know that what Casey said to her was not bragging. Casey indeed taught Owen how to play chess.

They started. Morgan Byrne watched them, not daring to make any sound.

At the beginning, Luna was still aggressive and put down chess piece fast. She thought that even if Casey could play chess, he was just an amateur.

However, as the chess game progressed, Luna suddenly realized that Casey’s layout which she disdained forced her no way back.

Then Luna would stare at Casey for a long time before she put chess pieces. She was trying to guess some of his thoughts from his eyes.

But Casey kept smiling. His eyes were calm and unpredictable.

Step by step, the entire chess game was Casey’s battlefield. From the time the first chess piece was put, the entire battlefield was under his control.

His mental arithmetic ability was extremely powerful. After the first step, he had already thought of the situation which was after hundreds of steps. Besides, the person was playing against him was still Luna, the little girl. He could win this game without any effort.

Luna's pride disappeared. She needed to think about for a long time to take the move.

Just when she finally came up with a wonderful move, Casey directly blocked her retreating way, which caused her originally planned step to be cut.

If it weren't that she didn’t want to be disdained by Casey, Luna would have already retracted a false move.

Morgan didn't know chess. But from the changes in the expressions on their faces, it could be inferred that who was in control of the rhythm of the game.

Seeing Luna almost going crazy, Morgan admired Casey even more, thinking that Casey was really an all-rounder. Under Casey’s calm appearance, no one knew how many unexpecting skills he had.

Casey put down his last chess piece. He looked at Luna, and said lightly, "You lost."

Luna stared at the chessboard unconvincingly, trying to see if there was no remedy, but what made her desperate was that she couldn't find any way to remedy.

She sighed helplessly, and then glanced at Casey in disbelief. She thought that this guy won her by luck.

"Is it time to fulfill our gambling agreement and recognize me as your grandmaster?" Casey said with a smile.

Luna was reluctant. Of course, she didn't want to recognize Casey, a good-for-nothing, as her grandmaster.

At this time, Owen had already cured Conor West's arm. He walked to Casey.

Seeing Owen coming, Luna's eyes lit up, as if she had found a supporter. She stood up directly, "Master, come and help me teach this arrogant guy. He actually wants to be my grandmaster, your master."

After saying that, she looked at Casey and said, "It’s okay I can recognize you as my grandmaster, but you must defeat my master firstly. Only then is it reasonable, otherwise I will not recognize you as my grandmaster."

Casey turned to glance at Owen, then smiled and said, "Okay, Owen, let’s play chess."

Owen was shocked. Was he going to play chess with Casey? No, no, no. Back then, he thought he had a super IQ. After learning something about chess from Casey, he felt that he could defeat Casey.

Finally, they played a total of 100 chess games, of which he lost ninety-nine times, and the other one was because he found an excuse that he said he had stomachache when he played half game with Casey, so they didn’t finish the game.

Luna, this little girl, dared to play chess with Casey and betted. It was obvious that he would lose.

In the past, Casey always said that he was Owen’s master because he had taught Owen how to play chess, but Owen refused to admit it. If he really played chess with Casey and he lost, Casey would truly become his master.

Owen sighed helplessly. What could he do with his little apprentice? He had to sit down opposite Casey.

Seeing that Owen was about to play chess, Luna suddenly raised hope in her heart. She looked at Casey triumphantly, and said, "Back then, my master and Terence Lam, the famous chess master of J City, ended the chess game in a draw. You can beat me. But if you play with my master, you are nothing."

"Really? Then I want to see how good he is." Casey looked at Owen jokingly.

Owen was full of embarrassment, wishing to block Luna's words.

“Terence is nothing. The one sitting in front of me can be regarded as a real chess master.”

“You let me play chess with him. You may make me awkward in front others.”

Owen thought to himself, but as Luna's master, he couldn't say it out. He had no choice but to start the chess game with Casey.

Conor also came over and stood beside Morgan, watching the chess game.

He also studied some chess in the early years. He thought he had some knowledge about chess.

But when he saw the game between Casey and Owen, he was surprised. This was a high-end chess game that could only be played by national-level masters. It had to take a long time for Conor to see through their layout. At this time, they had already taken some moves.

Conor looked at Casey with a complicated expression. He thought, "What kind of freak is this guy? Is this really the Casey who is regarded as a good-for-nothing by everyone?"

After more than half an hour, Owen frowned and sweated. Finally, he couldn’t stand it. He stood up and said angrily, "Stop. You bully me. You even don’t give me a chance to fight back. I won’t play chess with you anymore!"
