Chapter 1741

“Your move, Mr. Crawford!” said Xanry as he turned to look at Gerald once he was done. It was now the start of the second round, and Gerald knew that he couldn’t afford to obtain zero marks again or the gap between his score and Xanry’s would become too large for him to turn the game around later. With that, Gerald picked a bowling ball up before slowly walking toward the lane. The second he got into position, however, Gerald heard Xanry yell out from behind him, “Just make some bold toss, Mr. Crawford! It’s fine if you don’t hit anything, just take it as practice! After all, you need a lot more of it to even be able to take on me!” As roars of laughter ensued, Gerald simply closed his eyes… Before slowly opening them again. Taking a step forward, Gerald then tossed the bowling ball! Rather than swerving to the side this time, the ball instead rolled straight for the pins, momentarily surprising Xanry and the others. While the sound of bowling pins getting knocked over co

Xanry realized that he had made a miscalculation the second the ball hit the lane with a loud ‘thud’ before swerving right into the gutter! With that in mind, Xanry ended up getting no points for that round. Seeing that, Xanry couldn’t help but frown. To think that he would actually make such a mistake at the worst possible time! How dissatisfactory! Gerald himself wasn’t about to miss the chance to ridicule Xanry. Laughing aloud, Gerald then scoffed, “I guess you made a mistake just in time for me to catch up to you, Monitor! You have my thanks!” Hearing that, Xanry grew immensely annoyed, though he didn’t really have anything to retort. After all, he was the one who had been careless. Laughing bitterly in response, Xanry then replied, “…That’s right! I guess you do have a chance now!” While Gerald didn’t say it out, in his mind, he was thinking, ‘Go on pretending! You’re still trying hard to put up an act even after I’ve given you a platform, huh?’ Now that it was Gerald’

Nodding slightly, Gerald then picked up another bowling ball before tossing it almost nonchalantly. Even so, he ended up getting yet another strike! How astonishing! “I’m sorry, monitor! It appears that I’ve hit all of them again! I guess I’ve already mastered bowling!” replied Gerald as he smiled while looking at Xanry. Currently, while Xanry was still ahead with thirty-six points, Gerald was only four points behind him. With only three rounds left, the competition was going to end soon. Who was going to be the victor? “…A bit too early to celebrate, wouldn’t you say, Mr. Crawford? After all, we still have three rounds to decide the victor!” scoffed Xanry as he picked yet another bowling ball to start the fifth round. After positioning himself, Xanry then aimed for the pins before swiftly tossing the ball toward them! When tossing a bowling ball, the route the ball ended up landing in would alter the ball’s strength as well as the number of pins it could hit. With that in mi

Unfortunately for him, Gerald wasn’t about to grant him such a chance. Immediately picking the bowling ball up, Gerald then walked toward the lane... Without even having to look where he was throwing, Gerald then confidently tossed it toward the pins. Every dog had its day, and it was now Gerald’s turn to do the mocking. After all, he was simply doing the same thing that Xanry had done to him in the first round. Whatever the case was, as expected, no pins remained standing, signifying yet another strike from Gerald. With the scores being fifty-two against forty-nine now, Gerald’s score had finally surpassed Xanry’s… With Gerald’s turn over, the start of the seventh and final round began… By this point, Xanry knew that he couldn’t afford to mess up anymore. If he didn’t land a strike, then he would surely lose to Gerald! He was also worried that Gerald would get yet another strike… If that happened, then Xanry would still lose the competition, regardless of whether he manage

With that, Xanry then got his wallet before fishing a hundred and fifty dollars out to hand to Gerald. Naturally, Gerald wasn’t about to say no to that money. After all, he deserved it, and he wasn’t embarrassed to take it. Now that the game was over, Gerald then waved farewell to Xanry before heading back to Juno’s side. Seeing that he was finally back, Juno was prompted to ask, “What took you so long?” “Well, I just played around for a while. Regardless, I got a bit tired so I’m back now!” explained Gerald with a faint smile. Naturally, she believed Gerald’s words. After all, there was no way she could’ve known about the incident between Gerald and Xanry. Then again, even if she was aware of it, she probably wouldn’t have thought much about it. Hell, she would probably feel that Gerald had done well in teaching Xanry a lesson. Regardless, after a short while, both of them watched as Xanry walked over to them with a few bottles of wine and what appeared to be some dice i

With that, the duo then began shaking their dice around for a few seconds… Once both of them stopped, Xanry immediately smiled as he said, “After you, Mr. Crawford! Make your guess!” Hearing that, Gerald then declared, “Three sixes!” “I see! Four sixes then!” shouted Xanry in response. From what Gerald had been able to hear, he knew that Xanry definitely had two sixes. Gerald had two sixes himself, which was why he definitely couldn’t open it. Regardless, the only way to properly deal with Xanry would be to deliberately lose to him for a few rounds. Allowing Xanry to be smug the first few rounds would definitely make Gerald’s eventual victory much sweeter. With that in mind, Gerald then shouted, “Five fives!” Upon hearing that, Xanry couldn’t help but smile as he declared, “Open!” Since Xanry had chosen to open Gerald’s dice, Gerald naturally had to do so. Looking at the results, the points of the dice didn’t add up to five fives. Instead, there were only three fives,

With that in mind, after a brief pause, Gerald then declared, “Five fours!” “Open!” yelled Xanry almost instantaneously. Rather than feeling surprised that Xanry would choose to open now, Gerald instead felt delighted. After all, he had been waiting for Xanry to do so. Everything was simply going to plan… Regardless, Gerald then revealed his dice for Xanry to see. Upon seeing that he had won again, the clearly sarcastic Xanry said in an apologetic tone, “Apologies, Mr. Crawford, but it appears that you’ve lost again! Looks like you’ll be forking out more money to me!” It didn’t take a genius to know that Xanry was already drunk with power. Xanry clearly thought that Gerald was no match against him in this game. “You win some, you lose some!” replied Gerald in a casual tone as he handed another seventy-five dollars to the overjoyed Xanry. Seeing that Gerald had already lost a hundred and fifty dollars, Juno quickly looked at Gerald before muttering slightly worriedly, “Ge

Now that he wasn’t holding back anymore, Gerald naturally wanted to continue the game. Not finding it odd that Gerald suddenly looked much more interested in the game, Xanry simply replied, “Of course we’ll continue! After all, we’ve only played a few rounds! I won’t be going easy on you after this, Mr. Crawford!” Hearing that same sentence again, Gerald found himself getting increasingly fed up with those words. Xanry was way too confident for his own good. However, the more confident he was, the more arrogant he became, and when that happened, Gerald knew for a fact that things wouldn’t end well for him. With that, both of them quickly began shaking their dice again. While Gerald only shook his dice for around two seconds, Xanry continued shaking his own dice for quite a while. Even so, Gerald was still able to easily discern what Xanry’s dice were. After all, no matter how long he shook his dice, Xanry wouldn’t be able to escape Gerald’s keen hearing. Still, the fact that

“…Of course we’ll continue playing! I’ve only lost a hundred and fifty dollars, you know? I’ll definitely win that amount back later!” replied Xanry in a confident tone. Hearing that, Gerald was instantly delighted as he thought, ‘To think that he’s still trying to intimidate me! Since it’s come to this, don’t blame me for taking more of your money!’ Some people just needed to be persistently and mercilessly dealt with for the point to finally get across their thick skulls. Regardless, the two of them then promptly started their next round. Throughout the process of shaking their dice, Xanry kept a close eye on Gerald. To his annoyance, Gerald didn’t appear to have any tricks up his sleeve. Still, Xanry simply had a feeling that Gerald was different, though he couldn’t pinpoint what made Gerald so special… Whatever the case was, after a while, the two of them stopped shaking their dice at the same time. This time, Gerald had four twos and a single one. In the game’s terms,

While he was filled with resentment, the truth remained that he had lost, so he couldn’t just burst into anger. What more, if he flew into a rage now, Xanry was worried that the others would start claiming that he wasn’t wealthy enough to play the game, and that was a form of humiliation he never wanted to experience. He had just lost two hundred and twenty-five dollars. It wasn’t much to him, so he could surely still go on…! Believing that Xanry wouldn’t want to continue playing after suffering so many losses, Gerald then looked at him before asking, “Are you going to play more, monitor?” “But of course! Let’s resume!” declared Xanry. At his current state, it was clear that Xanry had the temperament typical of a gambler. Unless he won against Gerald, he wouldn’t be able to rest easy. Not that Gerald was complaining, of course. He wanted to see how much more Xanry could take. “Very well then, monitor! However, since you suggested the previous game, I think it’s high time I su
