Chapter 179: Fate
Nicklaus eyed the piece the Handler played, he has really gotten better like he said he would... Nicklaus wasn’t so sure he could win now.
"Your move, Magnus," The handler said smirking.
"It seems like you have gotten better, you are prepared" Nicklaus commented, striking another move.
"I told you I have lost to no one until you and I intend to make up for it"
"Did you play this game with my wife? Because you don’t seem like one to grant a favor"
"Well she’s an exception... How could I resist a beauty" he shrugged and then his eyes landed on the board, Nicklaus was in a hot pursuit with his pieces, it was time for him to step up for he knew Nicklaus wasn’t planning on losing.
"You are not the one to grant favors, Handler. Why her? You must have seen something in her"
"Hmm as wise as always" The Handler sighed. "I sensed a powerful energy from her, one that does not belong in this dimension"
At his words, Nicklaus paused his actions.
"What do you mean Handler?" Alaric asked.
"Hmm," he made a sound, flapping the hand fan he held.
