Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1012

Megan closed her eyes, focusing intently.

After an in-depth analysis of Helen's match videos, she formulated a strategy that incorporated the Maltrex Tactic. This advanced chess maneuver was created during a game Benedict had against a reclusive chess expert in Maltrex.

Although Megan had initially intended to use it against Elijah, she decided to deploy it against Helen to secure a decisive victory and underscore the gap in their skills.

Even if it meant defeating Helen effortlessly, Megan was determined to display her most impressive technique.

When Megan opened her eyes, she made her first move with calm precision.

Without missing a beat, Helen responded with her move.

During her time abroad, Helen had played blitz games, each worth a thousand dollars. Confronted with financial constraints, she had honed her ability to play efficiently to maximize her earnings.

Watching Helen make her move without hesitation, Megan couldn't help but sneer in disdain.

Helen came across as a simple-minded brute. If she struggled with the initial move, Megan doubted she'd be able to cope with the more complex tactics to come.

She felt that deploying the Maltrex Tactic against Helen would be a waste. After all, Helen didn't seem worthy of such an advanced strategy.

Even Benedict hadn't foreseen a counter to the Maltrex Tactic. Using it against Helen felt akin to presenting an advanced astrophysics problem to a middle school student just beginning to learn physics.

Despite her reservations, Megan pressed on with the strategy, her moves unfolding precisely as planned. Although she regretted revealing such a sophisticated tactic now, there was no turning back.

At first, Helen didn't notice anything unusual, but after ten moves, a look of realization crossed her face. She suddenly remembered encountering this tactic before in Maltrex.

It was clear that Megan had learned a great deal from Benedict.

"Why are you still putting on an act? You really are stubborn, aren't you?" Megan chided, rolling her eyes. Following Benedict's principles, she continued to execute her moves with precision.

Helen watched Benedict's tactics unfold again with a stoic expression, casually checking the timer—four minutes and 30 seconds.

In Maltrex, it had taken Benedict half an hour to reach this stage. Megan clearly had a talent for this; she executed every move with remarkable accuracy in such a short time.

Helen regarded Megan with a calm smile. "If you concede now, we can still cancel our bet."

She extended the same offer Megan had made earlier, but this time, it was out of consideration for Chandler.

She wanted to defuse the situation and prevent any further strain on their relationship.
