Fane let out a loud chuckle in return upon hearing Leo's words. He smiled, "Sure, Young Master Leo, if you want to pull out now, that’s okay too. But you have to transfer me ten billion rather than two billion, right?"
Fane paused for a while and then continued, "Before the game, you’d clearly mentioned that we have to play ten rounds and can’t just give up halfway. And if you want to withdraw right now, it means that you automatically give up on the remaining eight rounds. In that case, you have lost ten games!"
Leo’s mouth twitched slightly at Fane’s reminder. He had indeed said all these rules before the game, but he had never thought that Fane would be so strong. The thought of him losing billiard to a newbie like Fane had never crossed his mind!
He had already lost two billion. Even if his brain chose to continue playing, his heart would collapse before anything.
"Stop spewing nonsense. I quit! Just give m e your account number and I'll transfer you two billion bucks. Who asked you to lie about your skill and told us that you've never played it before. You've clearly played billiard before and is skilled at it!"
Leo tightened his jaw and gritted his teeth. He denied whatever rules they set like a spoiled kid.
Fane swung his arm with the billiard cue stick in his hand and pointed it at Leo. His head tilted slightly upward, with a cold tone, he said, "I didn't lie. I learned those techniques by myself when I was watching both of you played a moment ago. If you don't believe me, I can't help it too. But you have only two options now, one is to admit defeat and transfer me 10 billion bucks, and the second option is to finish the remaining eight rounds. In case you're fortunate, you might win one round, who knows right?"
The corners of Leo's mouth vibrated again. This punk was totally insane. What did the punk say again? In case he was lucky, he might win one round?
According to Fane's performance in the first two rounds, it was not hard to see that Fane was getting better and better in striking and aiming, which made Leo insecure about the outcome. He had a strong premonition of not winning any of the remaining rounds.
"Hey, brat, don't press too much, will ya? You're merely a bodyguard in the Drake family! If it weren't for Timothy or the Drake family, we’d have been greeting you with our fists!"
There was one guy in the crowd who appeared to be a good friend of Leo. He immediately stepped forward and sneered at Fane angrily.
"He's right! I played two rounds with you and promised to give you two billion. What else do you want? If it weren't for Young Master Timothy, we won't give you any penny not to mention two billion! And by then what can you do to us, huh?"
Another took two-step forward, his tone was arrogant.
Leo felt slightly calmer and a little bit more confident in his heart when he saw two of his friend speaking up for him. He snarled at Fane, "Brat, I'll give you two billion, tell m e your account number if you want it.
