Chapter 116 115. Chess and Advice (710)

Earth·Metropolis

Outside the SAT examination room, Jero readily accepted Lina's invitation. Of course, he was definitely not worried about some bald man deducting his 'salary'.

"I agreed quickly this time." Lina smiled lightly, then pointed in another direction and said, "Come with me, I know a place that is very quiet."

"Okay, you can lead the way." Jero nodded and agreed.

The earth is a place where there are many hidden dragons and tigers in the true sense. Even multiverse-level powerhouses can be found on the earth.

Jero didn't dare to guarantee that he would be in the first echelon on earth.

After walking through a bunch of twists and turns, the busy metropolis seemed to be gradually moving away from me, and my ears gradually became quiet.

Looking up at the somewhat shabby sign, Lina said to Jero, "This is it."

What appeared in front of Jero's eyes was an old coffee shop. The sign handwritten in chalk at the door and the weathered wooden door gave this coffee shop an atmosphere of the times.

The familiar driver of the smart wheelchair came to the door. Lina raised her arms and pushed the door open with some difficulty.

'ding dong'

When Lina pushed the wooden door, the bell rang.

"It's you, Lina, would you like something to drink this time?" A white-haired old man who was still wiping the glass greeted Lina, and he also noticed Jero's presence.

"I brought my friends to take care of my business this time? Hahaha."

This white-haired old man looks not much younger than old Jonathan, and he looks very energetic.

After taking a look at the store environment, Jero found no one else except the old man. It seemed that the old man was running the store by himself.

"I'm just a classmate, I'm not very familiar with him yet." Jero shrugged and added, "However, it's not a bad thing to finish the biggest thing and do a little something that you don't usually have time to do."

"Hahaha, young people nowadays are really interesting." The old man laughed. He hadn't seen Jello as young as him for a long time. He put the cleaned glass aside and said to Jello:

"Young man, what would you like to drink?"

"Is there any wine? Give me a glass of vodka with ice, lime juice, and ginger beer." Jero thought of a recipe and said to the old man.

"liquor?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately frowned, and then rejected Jero without hesitation, "You are not twenty-one years old, are you? No, I will not sell alcohol to minors."

"Okay, just give me a latte." Jero said helplessly.

Lina followed, "Same."

"Okay, wait a moment, you two. Two cups of latte will be here soon." The old man responded and began to work.

Two cups of latte took time, so Lina took Jero to the depths of the cafe.

Along the way, Jero saw many products that did not belong to the 21st century. The most advanced one was probably the radio that could receive modern broadcast channels. Among them, the one that caught his attention the most was an old-fashioned gramophone.

This old-fashioned gramophone has been well maintained and looks like it must be a hundred years old. It is still playing music today.

The metal needle scratched on the vinyl record, and a quiet and soft song echoed throughout the cafe, making people feel comfortable.

However, Jieluo didn't have much musical knowledge, so he couldn't tell which song it was.

After the two of them sat down at a round mahogany table with a chess set on the table, Lina said to Gerald, "Trout Quintet, second movement, a chamber music piece composed by Schubert in the summer of 1819."

, does it sound good?”

Even with Lina's introduction, he still felt unclear, so he just nodded slightly, and then replied: "It's very quiet, and it's very comfortable to listen to."

"That's good." Lina reached out and picked up a black chess piece, played with it a bit, and said, "Let's play a game. It's been a long time since I played chess with someone of equal skill."

"Then I'll go first." He replied casually, and Jero raised a white chess piece and launched an offensive.

After taking a look at the placement of the chess piece, she judged that it was an operation similar to abandoning a pawn. Lina said doubtfully, "This kind of move doesn't look like a move, Jero-san."

Jero said calmly, "People change, classmate Lina, not to mention it has been more than a year since we last played chess."

"You're right." Lina smiled lightly, raised a chess piece and captured Jero's white chess piece, and said, "Since you put the chess piece in front of me, I won't be polite."

"Each other."

While talking, Jero let a chess piece capture Lina's black chess piece.

"I remember it was a draw last time." Lina said while playing chess.

Jero asked, "Do you want to win this time?"

"Win? It's such a distant word to me." Lina whispered.

After saying this, Lina's movements slowed down a lot.

Jero, who knew something, saw that Lina was a little unhappy, so he mocked mercilessly:

"Does this mean you have to give up to life? Do the Luthor family members give up so quickly? You have to know that your brother has lost to Superman countless times and is still full of fighting spirit. You are too far behind him."

Hearing this, Lina's movements paused, and after the move, she laughed to herself.

"I don't want to admit defeat, but what bargaining chip do I have in my hand? Now I am just an illegitimate daughter with paralyzed legs who was kicked out of the house!"

After speaking, Lina's tone became louder obviously, but in return, Jero laughed.

"Tsk, cowardly."

The word cowardice penetrated deeply into Lina's heart, causing her to make a very unwise move and glare at Jero.

"me……"

"What are you?" Looking at Lina who had been saying bad things for a long time, Jero poured another basin of cold water on her, then without hesitation raised the chess piece and took down Lina's black king.

"General, you lose."

At the end of the chess game, there was no draw like the one that occurred more than a year ago. Jero defeated Lina easily with almost a one-sided crushing.

Looking at Lina who was still angry but couldn't do anything, Jero casually leaned back on the chair and said to Lina:

"You are afraid, afraid that you will lose everything if you give it a try. Am I right?"

"No, that's not it!" Lina amplified her voice, trying to cover up her true thoughts.

"Are you still quibbling?" Jero lost part of his patience and said the last words to Lina:

"Have you thought about counterattack carefully? Sometimes, it is not enough to just escape. Even if the gladiators of ancient Rome enjoyed all the glory and wealth and immersed themselves in the beautiful countryside, they could not change their desire to entertain the nobles in the most primitive way.

Facts! You have to face the facts, Lena Luthor, this is my last advice to you."
