Imost everyone there understood that.
achel understood it, too. For some reason, the thought made her feel strangely tense.

might crack the puzzle. Others were whispering among themselves, trying to come up with strategies.
Seeing the growing crowd, Jason asked a server to bring over a shatranj board and set it up exactly like in the photo he had shown.
Both he and Tyler turned their gaze toward Rachel. Amidst the buzz of people chatting and scrolling through their phones, Rachel was the only one sitting there silently, studying the board.

Jason’s eyes lit up with admiration. All of a sudden, he felt like he understood something.
Over the years, even Tyler’s family members had introduced him to many exceptional women, but none of them ever caught his eye.
When he first saw Rachel, it was just a picture of her from behind. Her figure was undeniably impressive, and from that alone, he could tell she likely wasn’t lacking in looks either.
But seeing her in person, there was that moment of amazement. Just one look, and he could tell this woman was different from the rest.
Now, he couldn’t help but feel a flicker of anticipation. Could Rachel actually solve this puzzle?
Someone in the crowd suddenly asked Jason out of curiosity, “Mr. Denzel, I’ve been meaning to ask. Where did you get this shatranj puzzle from?”
Jason didn’t hide anything and answered honestly, “I was playing with a friend a few days ago. He’s convinced no one can solve this setup except for him.”
After he said that, his gaze subconsciously shifted to Tyler in the crowd.
