Chapter 186
Old Master Hall had guessed right. Apart from Professor Nolan, Elodie hadn’t faced anyone at this level in a while.
She wasn’t about to pass up the chance now.
To her, Dante was just another opponent. That’s it. Nothing more.
She wasn’t going to hold back just because of who he was.
Hearing her response, Dante didn’t push it. He made the first move.
From there, they played in complete silence. No words were said. No distractions.

There was a rhythm between the two of them. An unspoken understanding. Like they weren’t strangers at all, but people who’d known each other for years.
The older men glanced at Dante, then at Elodie, and finally at Sienna. Their brows furrowed slightly.

"It’s been a while since you played, hasn’t it?"
Elodie was in the middle of dismantling one of his setups. She didn’t look up.
