Super Soldier King and Cute CEO
Chapter 346 - 346 347

346: 347 346: 347 Tang Zhong spoke with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Mo Yingxiong’s face turned ugly in an instant as he squinted his eyes, looking at Tang Zhong in front of him.

Other people from the Hero’s Club also looked displeased, staring at Tang Zhong, ready to explode at a washed-up Crown Prince throwing a tantrum among them.

“Brother Tang is still as domineering as ever!” Mo Yingxiong said with a laugh.

“And you, Mo Yingxiong, are still as wretched as ever!” Tang Zhong replied.

“You…” Mo Yingxiong’s face grew even uglier, and in just a few words, Tang Zhong made Mo Yingxiong want to slaughter him.

He had sought out Tang Zhong to reclaim his dignity from the past and to seriously crush him, but now Tang Zhong had already gained the upper hand.

He was unwilling to accept this.

It had been ten years, and he still wasn’t a match for this guy.

“Brother Tang, I didn’t invite you here to argue with you!” Mo Yingxiong said.

“So what do you want?

For me to slap your face?” Tang Zhong asked with a smile.

“I don’t understand.

After slapping your face for so many years, why would you still thrust it forward for me to hit?”

At these words, Mo Yingxiong’s face immediately turned even uglier, like a dried up donkey, as he tried to hold back his anger.

“Brother Tang, you’re joking now.

I, Mo Yingxiong, invited you here to play a game of chess with you!” Mo Yingxiong declared with a smile.

“Oh, I’m always ready to accompany you!” Tang Zhong replied with a laugh.

“Bring out the chess!” Mo Yingxiong called out to someone behind him.

Immediately, a woman emerged from behind, carrying a chess set.

She cleared all the dishes from the table and spread out a sheet of chess paper.

The Chu River and Han Border, dividing both sides.

“I’ll take the Han Border, Brother Tang takes Chu, how about that?”

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll win anyway,” Tang Zhong said with a smile.

Mo Yingxiong squinted his eyes, thinking to himself, Tang Zhong, oh Tang Zhong, you’ve been gone for ten years, do you still think you can be my match as you were before?

Although I was defeated ten years ago, this time, I won’t be.

Ten years ago, Mo Yingxiong and Tang Zhong played countless games of chess, but Mo Yingxiong always lost and never won once.

Over the years, he had been quietly preparing, aiming to completely defeat Tang Zhong.

“Then I hope, Brother Tang, that you will demonstrate your true ability!” Mo Yingxiong said.

The people around them had gathered as well, having witnessed the two men’s chess games many years ago, they now wanted to see the outcome.

On the Hero’s Club’s side, no one was worried about Mo Yingxiong; everyone knew the boss’s strength.

But on the Crown Prince’s Club’s side, everyone was worried about Tang Zhong.

Keep in mind, Tang had been gone for ten years; he had been brilliant back then, but what would he be like ten years later?

However, worrying was useless; what they needed to do now was wait for the result.

At this moment, the chess pieces had already been arranged.

Both sides began the game.

“Brother Tang, you make the first move!”

“Sure!” Tang Zhong replied with a smile.

Immediately, he took a red flag and made the first move.

“The elephant moves first!”

Mo Yingxiong replied with a smile, “The horse moves!”

The two sides began their confrontation.

The audience watched intently as the two played.

Keep in mind, this was a confrontation between the Hero’s Club and the Crown Prince’s Club.

Their game contained many layers that, perhaps by learning a single move, one could gain much understanding.

…

The pieces were moving!

Mo Yingxiong was very serious, carefully observing the situation on the board, then thinking about what his next move should be, what the best move was, what problems he might encounter, and swearing that this time he had to win against Tang Zhong, pondering for a while before making a move.

In contrast, Tang Zhong took it lightly.

Whenever Mo Yingxiong moved, he would immediately respond, watching Mo Yingxiong deliberate and couldn’t help urging, “Can you hurry up?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Yingxiong laughed, noting that Tang Zhong was no longer as he had been in the past.

People say that chess reveals a person’s disposition.

Now Tang Zhong’s moves, too hasty and lacking steadiness, showed he had lost the demeanor of a great man.

However, Mo Yingxiong still took it seriously; he was determined to win this game of chess.

At this moment, the onlookers, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but sneer.

The members of the Hero’s Club looked down on Tang Zhong even more.

“This guy is also called the Crown Prince?

Look at his chess moves—so chaotic, not at all the style of a significant figure!”

“Right, the significant figures I’ve seen handle chess like it’s cautious—they know life is like a chess game, and those pieces are their power in hand.

But look at this fool, what has he turned the chess into?”

“Yeah, it’s hilarious, you can tell, the Crown Prince’s Club is about to fall!”

The members of the Hero’s Club couldn’t help but laugh.

Meanwhile, people from the Crown Prince’s Club started getting nervous.

“Vice President Situ, what’s with the Crown Prince?

Playing chess like this, he’s definitely not going to be able to beat Mo Yingxiong!”

“Exactly, Vice President, do you think the Crown Prince has a secret weapon?”

Situ Mingliang frowned and watched Tang Zhong from a distance, not sure why Tang’s chess playing was so disordered.

Ten years ago, the Tang he saw wasn’t like this; his chess playing was like being aided by gods.

But seeing the confident look on Tang’s face, Situ Mingliang held his peace.

He knew Tang well.

Tang was under no pressure now, and only when he was most serious, would he be extremely calm—perhaps Tang had his own method.

“Look quick, Vice President Situ, the Crown Prince is about to lose!” someone from the Crown Prince’s Club said.

Situ Mingliang immediately focused on the chess game and saw that it was indeed the case; nearly all the pieces had been captured.

Tang’s side was left with only one general, while three black pawns had penetrated into the red camp.

Although there were still red pieces left, they consisted of two cannons and an elephant, positioned on the flanks.

In the black territory, only one red soldier had entered.

Black had many pieces; a classic situation of the enemy outnumbering our forces.

Moreover, with the positioning, it was virtually a lost cause for the red side.

One careless move, and red would be dead.

A large group from the Hero’s Club started laughing at this point, certain that Mo Yingxiong would win this time.

Because everyone could see the trend of the game.

“After the double cannons bury the general, the car from the black side moves to fourth lane to face your chariot, blocking you from using your chariot to flank the general.

When you capture his chariot, his pawn then moves from six forward one square,” someone who understood Chinese chess explained to those who didn’t.

“Doesn’t that mean President Mo is going to win?”

“Of course!”

“What kind of sham Crown Prince is this?

I say, he’s just trash!”

People from the Crown Prince’s Club were worried.

At this moment, they all hoped Tang Zhong could turn the tide, or it would be a fatal blow to the Crown Prince’s Club.

Situ Mingliang also clenched his teeth tightly.

At this point, Mo Yingxiong became more and more relaxed, moving his pawn directly forward.

Now three pawns in a diagonal line pushed aggressively toward the general.

It could be said that Tang had no way out and no room to maneuver.

“Pawn moves!”

Directly facing Tang Zhong’s general.

Having said that, Mo Yingxiong looked at Tang, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, “General…”

“You have nowhere to escape, which means, Tang Zhong, you’ve lost!”

Suddenly, Mo Yingxiong burst into laughter, looking at Tang as if he were a loser.

The surrounding members of the Hero’s Club cheered up, already foreseeing the game’s outcome on the board and knowing that Mo Yingxiong had won this time.

Meanwhile, the people from the Crown Prince’s Club each had uglier expressions than the others, but when they saw Tang seemingly unmoved, they were all stunned.

At this moment, Tang slowly stood up from his seat, looked at the chessboard, and smilingly said to Mo Yingxiong, “Who said I lost?”

“Besides, in the worst case we start from scratch, what’s the issue?” Tang said with a smile.

Mo Yingxiong narrowed his eyes and said, “Tang Zhong, you’re playing chess with me, and according to the rules, you’ve already lost!”

“You talking about rules with me?

Ever since I arrived here, I’ve never considered you a challenger.

Rules or no rules, I call the shots!” Tang said with a laugh, then his fist thundered down onto the stone table where the pieces lay.

Suddenly, the stone table cracked open.

With a loud crash, it fell to the ground.

“Over ten years ago, I would still match wits and bravery with you.

Ten years later, with this iron fist, I can smash through the world, so…

I don’t want to see the Hero’s Club again!”

Sometimes, you desperately try to surpass someone, not knowing that person has already ceased to see you as a rival long ago!
