Chapter 172: Trap

He was anxious but couldn’t speak out, so he could only proceed as instructed by Claire.

But he had already given up this game in his heart.

Phoebe was overjoyed, and before John asked her, she took the initiative to pick up a piece and lay next to Claire’s piece, ready to win the game.

Phoebe followed where Claire went, trying to corner her.

After a few more moves, Phoebe was so close to victory that she could hardly wait.

She just wanted to show to Grandpa which one was better between her and Claire!

Claire stared at the game board, slightly narrowing her eyes.

The fish had bitten the hook, it was time to retract the fishing line.

Her face was expressionless as ever. Holding a black piece in her slender hand, she suddenly changed her original route and casually put the piece in the rear of the board.

In the rear, all the white Go pieces were exposed without any protection. This black piece directly blocked all the white pieces and captured four white pieces at once.

Caught completely off guard, Phoebe paled, and the piece in her hand dropped to the ground with a click.

Evans patted his thigh with excitement. “Haha… it turned out to be a trap! A trap!”

Claire deliberately exposed her weakness and tempted the enemy to fall for her trick. Phoebe was too eager for quick success. She kept attacking Claire, but forgot to defend her turf.

In the end, Claire counterattacked, winning the game decisively.

John was shocked and finally turned his eyes towards Claire, looking up and down this seemingly undisciplined girl.

Then he yelled at Evans. “Very good, you old fox. This girl is very good at playing Go but you misled me!”

Evans chuckled. “You lost this round!”

Phoebe was trembling with anger, tears swirling in her eyes.

In this game, Evans and John played against each other at first, and then it became Claire and her.

It seemed to be John who lost, but it was actually her who was defeated.

Besides, it was a crushing loss.

Claire was just teasing her!

Becoming interested in Claire, John looked at her and asked. “How many years have you studied Go?”

Evans chimed in. “She has never studied Go.”

John patted the board and didn’t believe it. “Are you kidding me? I’m not that stupid!”

“No, this girl grew up in the country. Where could she learn Go? She just played a few games of Go with me recently.”

Upon hearing this, John abruptly lunged to his feet.

The old man’s muddy eyes were glowing at the moment. He pointed to Claire with shaking hands and even stammered. “This… this girl is very talented. She’s really good!”

Evans nodded.

He had this idea since the first time he played Go with this girl.

John quickly walked to Claire and said with an extremely sincere attitude, “Are you interested in joining my Autumn Go Club? I want you to have a wheel fight with my members!”

“A wheel fight?!” Evans exclaimed and objected. “She has never studied Go before. It’ll be too difficult for her!”

John ignored him, looking instead at Claire. “What do you think? Would you like it? It doesn’t matter even if you lose. The most important thing is to try.”

Claire tilted her head, without a trace of emotion. “OK.”

Phoebe was completely dumbfounded.

The two old men surrounded Claire, completely ignoring her, making her look like a clown!
