Chapter 5316
"Yes, Your Excellency.”
Forsythe responded quickly, sweating profusely, and secretly began to worry about
Morticia.
Archfiend Antigonus was furious. The queen may be in danger.
Forsythe was also stumped. He could not understand how the queen could have fallen in
love with Ambrose.
Forsythe walked outside the secret chamber, ordered a few elite disciples to guard
Heather, and then sent someone to Dragon King Island to deliver the news.
"You-"
Heather was shocked and angry. She had told them everything she knew, but they would
not let her go!
On the Cryolet Continent, the weather was sunny and nice that day.
A chessboard was on the table in the small garden next to the Elixir Sector. Darryl was

Lindsey was only 12 or 13 years old, but she was talented and quick-witted. She had
integrated the mysterious cultivation method with the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret in the
previous two days with the help of Darryl. In many ways, she was far superior to ordinary
people.
Sofia stood beside her with a smile on her face.
Preston held a wooden sword and practiced one move at a time on the grass a few meters
away. Darryl had taught Preston all Celestial Swordsmanship skills in two days.
Preston felt as if he had been given a treasure. He immersed himself in it, trying his best
to understand it. He was so engrossed in his work that he occasionally forgot to eat and
sleep. Even though Preston was notorious for being talented in swordsmanship, it was
obviously impossible to understand everything in such a short time fully. After all, Ford
created and developed those skills for decades, and Darryl had improved them. It was
extraordinarily complex.
Darryl sipped his tea, picked up a chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, and smiled at
Lindsey. "Checkmate."
Lindsey placed her hands on her cheeks, took a deep breath, and sighed helplessly. "Oh, I
have lost again."
Lindsey gazed admiringly at Darryl. "Brother Darryl, you are an excellent chess player. I
have already calculated all the possible outcomes 20 steps ahead. Why can't I win?"
Lindsey's face flushed with rage as she said that.
"Twenty steps?"
Sofia, who was standing beside her at the time, could not help but exclaim, "Lindsey, only
chess grandmasters, to my knowledge, can calculate all the possible moves 20 steps in
advance. You are still young, but you have accomplished much. You are truly gifted!"
Sofia was not exaggerating in the least. A novice could only think two steps ahead. An
expert could do five. Grandmasters could accomplish 20.
Lindsey was only 12 or 13 years old, so it was rare that someone his age thought 20 steps

Lindsey blushed as she heard Sofia's compliment. "Do not compliment me, Sister Sofia.
Even if I could do that, I would still lose. Darryl is the true genius."
Sofia nodded in agreement.
She would be surprised if anyone could beat Lindsey at chess. That did not apply to
Darryl, though. That man was brilliant and, at the same time, puzzling.
Darryl could not stop laughing when he saw Lindsey's expression and said," Lindsey, being
able to see twenty moves is incredible. However, you must understand that playing chess
is about more than just the number of moves you can calculate. You must also be able to
see through your opponent's thoughts. You will be able to win regardless of how many
moves your opponent can calculate as long as you guess the opponent's thoughts."
Lindsey opened her mouth wide in surprise when she heard that. "You...did you just know
everything I was thinking? How is that even possible?"
Darryl was even as astute as her father. Her father could not read her mind when he
taught her chess.
Darryl smiled and said in a mysterious tone, "Don't be surprised. After you have mastered
the mysterious cultivation method and the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret, you can do it
too."
