Chapter 1745 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’tembarrassed 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 Geraldwith a faint smile.
Naturally, she believed Gerald’s words. After all, there was no way she could’ve known about theincident between Gerald and Xanry. Then again, even if she was aware of it, she probably wouldn’thave thought much about it. Hell, she would probably feel that Gerald had done well in teaching Xanrya lesson.
Regardless, after a short while, both of them watched as Xanry walked over to them with a few bottlesof wine and what appeared to be some dice in hand.
Sitting right before Gerald, Xanry then smiled before saying, “I’d say we didn’t have that much of agood time earlier, Mr. Crawford. With that in mind, what say you and me play something new?”
Hearing that, Juno couldn’t help but frown slightly as she looked at Xanry, wondering what he was upto.
Gerald himself could only contemptuously think, ‘So, come back to look for more trouble after Idefeated you earlier? How reluctant to lose are you? I guess the only way to drill it into you is byshowing you the grim reality of things!’
Since Xanry was still pestering him, Gerald was no longer against hiding his true strength. If it was agame Xanry wanted, then Gerald was going to play properly to show Xanry just how powerless he trulywas against him. Xanry was about to learn the hard way that Gerald wasn’t someone who could betrifled with.
“Not a problem, monitor! Though I wonder what you’re planning to play?” asked Gerald with a subtlesmile after a slight pause.
Hearing Gerald’s agreement, Xanry then placed the dice before Gerald before saying, “We’re playing agame of dice. Have you played before?”
Nodding slightly, Gerald then replied, “Just a little!”novelbin
“That’s great to hear! I won’t be telling you the rules then. Regardless, what say we spice up the gameby betting seventy-five dollars per round? I’m sure that that small amount won’t be an issue for you.Besides, you already gained a hundred and fifty dollars from me earlier!” suggested Xanry, a hint ofannoyance in his tone. Since he had been humiliated so much earlier, he was surely going to getGerald back for it this time.
He admitted that he had been a bit too careless earlier. Whatever the case was, he was a veteranwhen it came to dice. With that in mind, he definitely had a major advantage over Gerald this timearound.
“No problem! I accept!” replied Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Juno—who had been sitting at the side—couldn’t help but look at Gerald with slightbewilderment.
Tugging on his sleeve, Juno then whispered, “Hey, don’t go acting all recklessly now, Gerald!”
“Don’t worry, I’m sensible enough to know my capabilities!” replied Gerald as he looked back at Juno.
“That’s right, Juno! You should believe in Mr. Crawford, you know?” added Xanry.
Hearing that, Juno chose to remain silent. After all, she, of all people, trusted that Gerald wasn’t one toact recklessly.
With that settled, Xanry then pushed the dice toward Gerald.
Picking them up, Gerald then began shaking the dice.
He was no stranger to the game, which explained his current confidence against Xanry. What more, hehad a secret weapon that the others were unaware of, that being the fact that he could differentiate thepoints of the dice just by listening!
Naturally, this was a pretty exclusive skill that ordinary people could never hope to achieve. Gerald,however, was no ordinary person.
With all that in mind, it was pretty much set in stone that Gerald was going to be the victor before thegame even began…
