章節 688: Chapter 688: Four Levels Up (Monthly Ticket Request for the Long Chapter)

"How is the situation?"

In the resplendent hall, an eloquent elderly man calmly watched the chess game before him.

Currently, an international chessboard was set in front of him.

He played the white pieces, his opponent the black.

At this point, his knights, bishops, and pawns had all been captured, and a black rook had penetrated deep into the board, bearing down right in front of him.

"Just a minor problem, it can be resolved tonight."

A quiet response sounded in his ear.

However, this response did not come from someone beside him but from the bracelet on his hand; the elderly man seemed to be communicating with someone.

Upon hearing this response, the elderly man lifted his head and looked forward.

There was no one sitting across from him to play the game, nor was there any seat left for an opponent.

Behind the other side of the chessboard was a large floor-to-ceiling window and beyond it, a cityscape of high-rises that undulated like hills.

"I await your good news."
