Chapter 173: Winning

At this time, it was already October, and the weather in Kyoto began to cool down.

He was afraid that Han Seungwoo would wait for a long time, so he walked outside quickly.

Lee Minho went out in a car today, and the car also stopped in the underground parking lot so it didn't feel cold.

Now, after going outside, he realized the coolness brought by gusts of wind.

The reporters who had been waiting outside rushed up immediately when they saw Lee Minho however, men in black appeared.

The bodyguards who had been waiting outside for a long time moved quickly and immediately stopped the reporters and separated a passage so that Lee Minho could pass through safely.

Han Seungwoo, who was wearing a black windbreaker and a black mask, was standing outside the crowd with a black suitcase in his hand.

Even though he just stood there so simply, this man still gave off a sense of elegance always the most conspicuous one in the crowd.

Lee Minho quickened his pace and walked in front of him.

"You're back!"

Han Seungwoo's dark eyes were stained with a smile

"Well, I'm back."

Seeing that Lee Minho was only wearing a thin sweater, he raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly.

"Why do you wear so little?"

Lee Minho raised his head and smiled.

"It's okay, I'm not cold."

However, Han Seungwoo let go of the suitcase in his hand, took off his black windbreaker, and put it on Lee Minho.

"There is still a game tomorrow, so be careful of catching a cold."

Lee Minho looked at the black windbreaker he was now wearing.

On the windbreaker, he could vaguely smell the smell that belonged exclusively to Han Seungwoo.

Lee Minho then glanced at the black shirt on Han Seungwoo's body, and said.

"What about you? What if you catch a cold?"

Han Seungwoo tilted his head, looked at Lee Minho, and pondered for two seconds.

After really thinking about this question, he said.

"Is a cold considered a work-related injury?"

Lee Minho couldn't help being amused by Han Seungwoo's serious joke.

"Forget it. After all, if you caught a cold because of your boss. It must be counted as a work-related injury."

Lee Minho then grabbed Han Seungwoo's hadn.

"Let's go, Park Doyun said today that he would learn how to cook roast duck with Forbe, let's go back quickly and see how he was doing."

Holding hands, they both enter the car's backseat.

The car then stopped at the gate of Celestial Mansion.

Han Seungwoo who just got out of the car, looked at the majestic Celestial Mansion in front of him, and couldn't help being shocked.

Lee Minho continued to dragged Han Seungwoo in.

Forbe and Park Doyun happened to finished the roast duck at that time and saw Lee Minho and Han Seungwoo together coming.

"Huh? Seungwoo, you're finally here!"

Park Doyun exclaimed after seeing Han Seungwoo.

"The young master is back."

After Forbe put down the roast duck in his hand, he looked at Han Seungwoo behind Lee Minho.

"This is Mr. Han, right?"

"I am, hello. Are you Uncle Forbe?"

Han Seungwoo heard Lee Minho talk about Forbe on the was back.

Forbe then smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Han looks more extraordinary than the one on TV."

Because the former master loved to play chess, Forbe is also very interested in chess.

He even watched the Chess God Competition that Han Seungwoo participated in.

Therefore, it was not unusual for him to know Han Seungwoo.

Han Seungwoo answered modestly.

"You are too much."

Lee Minho then pulled Han Seungwoo to the dining table.

"Come and have a taste, the roast duck made by uncle is even more delicious than those outside."

Park Doyun, who also cooked roast duck, was dissatisfied.

"I'm not bad at what I do. I've been praised by uncle Forbe. He said that I have 80% of his skills."

Park Doyun had a proud face while bragging.

So Lee Minho pointed to the plate of roast duck in front of Park Doyun, the skin of which was roasted almost black

"You said 80%...., that's it?"

Compared with the roast duck made by Forbe on the side, Park Doyun's roast duck was simply horrible.

"I just roasted it for a little longer. It doesn't look very good on the outside, but the meat inside is delicious!"

Park Doyun picked up the chopsticks and put the duck meat into Lee Minho's bowl.

"Try it, it's absolutely delicious."

Lee Minho picked up the piece of duck meat and saw that there were bloodshot in the meat, so he raised his head and said to Park Doyun.

"I suspect that you want to poison me with duck meat, and then inherit my inheritance."

Park Doyun shouted in retort.

"How is it possible? Your imagination is too rich."

Han Seungwoo then said.

"Since it's not, then you should take a bite first."

Lee Minho gave Han Seungwoo an appreciativel look, and then said to Park Doyun.

"That's right, take a bite first."

"The two of you are just ignorant. See if I don't slap you in the face hard."

After speaking, Park Doyun picked up a piece of roast duck and put it in his mouth.

After just chewing it twice, Park Doyun, who was originally smug, suddenly changed his face.

Immediately afterwards, he covered his mouth and ran out directly.

Lee Minho was stunned.

"He couldn't really be poisoned, is he?"

Uncle Forbe smiled and said.

"Young master, don't worry, Mr. Park was not poisoned. He just put too much white vinegar."

"Too much white vinegar? How much?"

Lee Minho was curious.

"Well, not much, only half a bottle."

"Half a bottle!?"

Lee Minho glanced outside the door, and could vaguely hear the sound of vomiting.

'Half a bottle of white vinegar, how choking is that?'

Lee Minho looked at Han Seungwoo.

"Your friend is a bit of a bully!"

However, Han Seungwoo said very calmly.

"Well, he's been like that from the beginning."

This made Lee Minho understood something instantly.

'Good guy, it turns out that this is not the first time he has done this!'

After finally throwing up, Park Doyun, who ran back, grabbed the teacup on the table and brushed his mouth a few times before he recovered.

Seeing him like that, Lee Minho said teasingly.

"Your 80% success is because you put 8 times more white vinegar than Forbe?"

"Please, stop talking."

Park Doyun was ashamed to face anyone.

In this way, Park Doyun, who was originally proud of his roast duck, dared not even mention the roast duck.

After the meal, Han Seungwoo pulled Lee Minho aside, and handed a card.

"What is this?"

Lee Minho took the card curiously.

"The prize money for the Masters is 1 million in total."

"You gave me all the bonus, so what will happen to you?"

The last time Han Seungwoo gave him a card, which was all of his savings.

'Now that he has given him all the bonuses again, he probably doesn't have much money.'

"The club will pay wages on time every month."

Apart from meals and transportation expenses, Han Seungwoo actually doesn't have any extra expenses.

The salary of the club is enough for him to spend.

Lee Minho nodded and put the card away.

Then he picked up the phone, quickly operated it, and transferred 500,000 to Han Seungwoo.

In just a few seconds, Han Seungwoo received the transfer information.

"You..."

Lee Minho raised his head and crossed his arms.

"I'll accept your money. The 500,000 is your bonus for winning the Masters and for our club. This is an honor bonus, you won't refuse it, will you?"

Lee Minho said as if you refuse the bonus, then you are looking down on me.

Han Seungwoo couldn't help but laugh.

"Good."

Han Seungwoo then put away his phone.

Lee Minho patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Come on, I still have your contract of sale. If you want to redeem the contract of sale, you still have a long way to go!"

"Yes."

Han Seungwoo's eyes were stained with a smile.

After getting alone in the terrace, Han Seungwoo has a complicated thoughts.

He wants to hold Lee Minho so much but he doesn't know why.

'Just by seeing Minho smiled makes me weak... I want to hold that cheeks and hug him.... And kiss..'

Han Seungwoo flinched by his thoughts.

He always regarded Lee Minho as a sky above mountain in chess.

He couldn't believe that he have such thoughts so he went back inside.

The next day, Han Seungwoo accompanied Lee Minho and Park Doyun to the competition.

Today is the final of the Colorado Chess Cup.

The finalists are Lee Minho, Park Doyun and Kang Jihan.

In the car, Park Doyun couldn't help sighing.

"Oh, with Minho here, I have no chance with this championship. I can only win the runner-up."

Lee Minho then said.

"I played against Kang Jihan, his chess is not weak. You have to be careful."

Park Doyun smiled and answered.

"Actually, I also played chess with him. The winning rate is 100%."

Lee Minho rolled his eyes at him in disbelief.

"Then you still sigh?"

"I call it modest."

Park Doyun retorted.

"Okay, let's talk about it first, even if it's you, I won't show mercy."

After all, this is a task of showing off wealth, and Lee Minho can't lose.

Park Doyun rubbed his chin and said.

"This game hasn't been played yet, how do you know you can beat me? Maybe it's me who wins?"

Han Seungwoo glanced at him and said.

"It's still daytime, what are you dreaming about?"

"Pffft..."

Lee Minho couldn't help laughing, he only realized now that Han Seungwoo was quite venomous sometimes.

Han Seungwoo sent the two into the Sports Center Building, but he didn't follow.

After watching the two go in, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to watch the live broadcast of the game.

The game of chess is not like other competitive games.

The game of chess has extremely high requirements on the environment and needs to be quiet.

A noisy environment will affect chess players.

Therefore, despite the great momentum of the Colorado Chess Cup Competition, the venue of the competition is quite elegant and quiet.

Today, there will be three games.

The first match was between Lee Minho and Kang Jihan.

In fact, there is no suspense in this game. Almost everyone knew that Lee Minho was a sure winner.

However, the match between Lee Minho and Park Doyun still had some suspense.

Although Park Doyun is a professional chess player just beneath the grandmaster ranks, that's because he met Han Seungwoo in every competition.

He was always eliminated by Han Seungwoo and couldn't get his grandmaster rank officially.

This also shows that Park Doyun is a powerhouse like Han Seungwoo.

Therefore, many chess players wanted to see if Lee Minho could win against Park Doyun.

If Lee Minho can beat Park Doyun, then Lee Minho will be seen as an amateur who has the strength on par with grandmasters.

Lee Minho also played chess with Park Doyun for the first time.

It can be said that besides Han Seungwoo, Park Doyun is the strongest chess player that Lee Minho has ever encountered since participating in the competition.

Moreover, Park Doyun was also prepared.

He watched many of Lee Minho's game videos, and he knew exactly how Lee Minho played chess.

So, at the beginning, he caused Lee Minho a lot of trouble.

He even asked Lee Minho to break the iron rule that personal time should not exceed half an hour since the competition.

It's just a pity that he lost in the end.

The moment Lee Minho defeated Park Doyun, the system's prompt came on time.

{Congratulations to the host, you have completed the task of showing off your wealth.}

{This system now will be upgraded and you will be rewarded with an even more big lottery draw.}
