In fact, it would have been better if she didn’t know how to play. If she had already known the game, how could he use the excuse of teaching her to play billiards to get to know her mentally and even physically? Her not knowing how to play would leave him with a chance to display his skills. There was a billiard room a few feet away, so they made their way over. As soon as Christopher and Samantha entered the billiard room, the people inside seemed enchanted because everyone had their eyes on the couple. The people couldn’t be blamed, though, because she was indeed every man’s dream woman. Other than being astonished at her beautiful face, they had the same question in their minds. Who is the guy next to her? Who was the loser wearing cheap clothes? Judging by his looks, he did not look like a rich guy or a man from a well-known family. Which rich guy would be so cheapskate to bring a girl to a billiard room on a date? It would seem rather cheap, wouldn’t it? It was only something a normal couple would do!Could it be that he’s a billiard master? Someone couldn’t help but wonder. These days, tons of pro gamers would bring girls over for a round of billiard and they could even make the girls become their lovers over time. Could it be that the fellow was using the same technique? It seemed that those present were only left with that valid reason. In the beginning, they thought that Christopher’s skill was supposed to be of a superior level.However, after seeing him teach the insanely gorgeous girl a few times, they changed their thoughts. A billiard master? Pfft! Yes, the young man sure knew how to play, but he was far from the title ‘master’. In fact, he was merely a beginner. After looking at how he hugged Samantha, who was indisputably a drop-dead gorgeous beauty to everyone, and how he leaned closely against her, the people found it unfair. If the gorgeous girl followed him because he had the money and power, then so be it. And if he was trying to impress the girl with the excuse of teaching her his spectacular billiard skills, so be it.However, he was just a broke loser with poor billiard skills and his skills were even worse than that of theirs. Why was it that the guy was lucky enough to have a beauty in his arms while the rest of them could only stand there and watch? It was extremely unfair! Resentment would lead to madness and if someone lost his rationale, an unexpected situation was bound to occur. Finally, someone could no longer take it and went up to provoke Christopher. “Hey, young man, your skills are quite lousy. Say, do you want me to show you how this is done?” a man with a round face around the age of thirty asked. Showing his skills to Christopher was a lie, for his true purpose was to let Samantha beside Christopher witness his skills. At that moment, both Christopher and Samantha were actually enjoying the moment. So, why would he accept such an idiotic suggestion? “No, thanks,” he decisively refused.Even after Christopher had clearly conveyed his message, the man still didn’t intend to leave. The man grabbed the cue stick in Christopher’s hand and uttered, “Dude, are you trying to disrespect me? I’m sincerely trying to teach you a skill or two, yet you’re turning me down just like that?” “Is there a problem?” Glancing at the man, Christopher responded stoically. “Yes! A huge one!” The man directly snatched the cue stick from Christopher and threw it aside before he continued, “You should feel honored to have me teaching you to play billiard. Do you find it funny to act so aloof and entitled?” Upon hearing that, Christopher was speechless and had no comeback. He had no idea when he had acted ‘entitled’ as what the man had claimed. Oh! Is it because I rejected your suggestion? Was that even reasonable? Brigandish logic like such was simply ridiculous. With no intention to waste his breath on the man who came looking for trouble, Christopher held Samantha’s hand and was ready to go outside with her. However, as expected of a rascal, the man had stopped Christopher. “Hey, you loser!” The man seemed to have gotten furious and scolded, “I’m talking to you! Are you deaf?” After saying that, he purposely rolled up his sleeves and showed off his strong arms as if he was threatening Christopher. How uncalled-for! Right now, Christopher only felt extremely helpless. He only came to play billiards and he didn’t expect to run into trouble. It seemed like Samantha would often be caught up in some unpleasant situations. However, come to think of it, it was actually understandable. If an ultimately gorgeous beauty had a normal family background, there would certainly be tons of admirers circling around her and it would be strange if she didn’t have any. Even Christopher had to admit that he was merely lucky to have seized the opportunity. Every man was bound to be possessive and after a few dates, he had already treated Samantha as his private property. Whoever had evil intentions on her would surely be blacklisted by him and he decided to confront the man who stuck his neck out. Knowing that he had to show something in order to leave with Samantha, Christopher said to the bald guy, “You seem pretty confident of your billiard skills.” “Of course,” the man replied. “It's not an exaggeration to say that I can win you even if I spare you three scores.” “Since you’re so confident, why don’t we have a match?” A proven fact would always be more convincing than only babbling nonsense, so Christopher decided to handle the matter with the most straightforward method. “One match to settle things once and for all. Do you have any questions?” he asked. Yoo-hoo! Now that Christopher was putting up a fight, the man immediately laughed when he heard what Christopher said. Does Christopher think he can beat me? Since he had already observed Christopher’s techniques earlier, he was sure that Christopher was no match for him with the skills he had. Since Christopher even dared to challenge him, the guy was merely asking for it. Interesting! “I’ll accept the match, but I have a request.” Thinking that he had the winning hand, the man continued, “It’ll be boring if we just have a normal match. Why don’t we spice things up a little?” “How about this—one thousand for a foul?” Then, the man suggested. “The loser will have to give the opponent the corresponding money for each foul he has. After all, a match will only become even more exciting when there’s a bet!” As the man thought that Christopher was digging his own grave, he would be sorry for himself if he didn’t make Christopher pay. Both the man and Christopher were laughing. Christopher thought, This is such a timely help! After treating Samantha to a meal, he was only left with a few hundred in his savings. As there was still some time before payday, he was worried about how he could settle his meals for the upcoming days. Who knew that the man would unexpectedly come to him and even offered timely help? What a man of honor! Therefore, Christopher wore a faint smile and agreed, “Okay!” “Deal!” Thinking that Christopher was acting in a pretentious manner, the man chuckled. “There are many witnesses here. Don’t you dare go back on your words when you lose.”“I’ll be fine as long as you don’t change your mind,” Christopher responded blandly. “Alright then, let’s start the game!” The man sneered.
