On the second floor of the Wright Mansion in the city government compound.

Martin was deeply immersed in a chess game with Jack, the two locked in a fierce battle that filled the room with tension.

After an intense game, Martin once again found himself in a hopelessly passive position.

"You can't go back on your word; it's just hypocritical!"

Martin chuckled. "You really never learn to adapt! Just wait until our chess master arrives in Harmonfield; then we'll see how tough you really are!"
