Chapter 1500
Envy can be a bitter pill to swallow!
Arabe had been blessed with the good fortune of studying chess under the guidance of Mr. Albright
for over a decade, starting when she was just a little girl. Was she seven or eight years old? Or could
she have been even younger, around five or six?
Having someone to mentor her from such a tender age, no wonder she had surpassed them all in
talent.
It was only now that they realized why, despite their overt and covert attempts to persuade Mr. Albright
to take on protege, he had always refused. He had his eye on someone all along, and what an
exceptional choice Arabe was.
With her by his side, why would Mr. Albright ever consider anyone else?
They would have chosen Arabe as their protege too.
They had made fools of themselves, thinking too highly of their own children''s abilities.
"Does Arabe have any ns to take on any protege?"
A middle-aged woman stepped forward with great respect and addressed Arabe, "I would love to
study under your guidance. Is there a chance you might ept me?"
Everyone was stunned.
The woman speaking was Mona, a renowned chess yer famous nationwide, who had won a
multitude of chess championships. It was shocking to see her, a figure of such esteem, willingly step
down to learn from Arabe as a protege.
"I can tell your skills surpass mine, and I hope you would grant me the opportunity to learn from you. I
truly love chess,"
Before Mona’s voice trailed off, another notable figure stepped forward.
"If Arabe isn''t considering taking on any protege at the moment, might I at least add you on
WhatsApp to get acquainted? I''m Atwood, the secretary-general of the Chess Association, and I greatly
admire your y. The way you handled both offense and defense was nothing short of astonishing."
"Could you possibly give my kid some pointers?" Ady from the crowd approached with her child in
tow, "My daughter has been studying chess for seven years, and every mentor has said she''s
immensely talented. You''re about the same age; perhaps you could be friends."
"I''d love to learn from you as well."
As the crowd around Arabe grew, she was about to decline politely when a young woman''s voice
broke through.
"Mr. Albright, I heard that Queena is also attending your birthday party. Has she arrived?"
The speaker was Alma, who smiled with easy confidence, "If Queena hase, I wonder what she
would make of this game. Simple, or intriguing?"
It was then that the rest of the guests remembered this illustrious individual.
"Right, Queena! I almost forgot about her."
"I heard she''s won twelve world chess championships. Whenever shepetes internationally, the title
is hers for the taking."
"She''s known for her aggressive y, pinpointing her opponent''s weaknesses and striking swiftly and
ruthlessly. Even at a disadvantage, she can turn the situation around in no time."
"I''ve seen her match videos, and even though you only see her hand moving the pieces, it''s such an
elegant hand."
"Her game is truly electrifying."
Hearing this, Bluno felt a glimmer of hope that his daughter might have a chance at mentorship,
chiming in, "Such a game would hardly impress her, right? Where is she? Would we have the chance
to witness her brilliance?"
"Mr. Albright, if Queena wished to study under you, would you ept her as a protege?"
"Her skills must be far superior to this youngdy''s, right?"

"Mr. Albright, has Queena arrived?"
"If she could challenge this youngdy to a match, that would be the ultimate spectacle!"
The guests thought that if Queena could make Arabe look foolish, they would feel much better.
After all, it was hard to ept being outdone by a young girl, but there were also those who were
eagerly anticipating; if Mr. Albright insisted on Arabe as his sole protege, they might still have the
chance to study under Queena.
Rumor had it that in a recent high-profile man-versus-machine match, Queena had defeated an AI,
stunning the world and bing a legend.
However, up until now, very few had ever seen her in person.
