“Wow!”

A cry of surprise came from the table.

“Thanks, brother!”

Aron Jackson held the one hundred thousand in cash in front of Julius Reed and

Aron Jackson held the one hundred thousand in cash in front of Julius Reed and asked, “Anyone else want to come?”

“I'll do it!”

The failure of the first guest didn't sober the rest. On the contrary, more people were eager to try.

The mentality of these bar patrons was always the same; they always thought they could succeed.

But often, it was only after their failure that they could see themselves clearly.

After a few rounds, many left dejected, having arrived full of fight, but when they left their seats, they all looked like defeated roosters.

The noisy commotion quickly attracted the attention of countless others, who set aside what they were doing and gathered around to see what was happening.

When they saw the small mountain of cash on Julius Reed's table, many felt a surge of hormones and a rush of excitement.

By the end, the money in front of Julius Reed kept piling up, and the table could barely hold it.

“What's going on! Someone causing trouble?”

A bald man asked, frowning, not far away.

His name was Sonny Ridge, and he was the deputy manager of the Three Blade Group's branch in Gonzalez City. He always guarded the Black Wind Bar, responsible for keeping a good hold of the place for the Three Blade Group.

Today, seeing a stranger cause such an uproar, he, as the deputy manager, felt quite uneasy.

“Brother, we've been watching him closely. This guy has taken quite a bit of money from our bar in just half an hour. If this continues, our customers won't dare to come back!”

The lobby manager responded in a low voice beside him.

He had been standing by the whole time, but no matter how he observed, he couldn't detect any trickery from the other party.

He had never seen such a way of drinking!

This made him puzzled. The guy was clearly a newcomer, so how dared he make such a scene upon arrival! Besides, the Black Wind Bar was so renowned that nobody dared to make trouble.

If someone was found intentionally causing trouble in the bar, they would face the punishment of having both hands chopped off. But if it was really just luck, that would be too incredible!

“I'll go meet him!”

Sonny Ridge stood up and slowly walked toward the table. He truly couldn't believe that someone would dare to show such disrespect to the Three Blade Group.

Meanwhile, Julius Reed was reaping a rich harvest, with cash piled high in front of him.

In the regretful gaze of several patrons, Aron Jackson pocketed four hundred thousand in cash.

“Young man, not bad with the drinks, huh?”

Sonny Ridge pushed through a few patrons in front of him and slowly sat down beside Julius Reed.

“Brother Dragon!”

The others greeted Sonny Ridge upon seeing him.

They mingled here all year round and were naturally very familiar with the deputy manager of the Three Blade Group.

A few patrons who had lost money felt schadenfreude, thinking that with such a big win, Sonny Ridge would never let him walk away with the money!

It was going to be a good show!

“Are you with this bar?”

Seeing the patrons' attitude towards him, Julius Reed had a pretty good guess about the stranger's identity.

“Indeed! I am Sonny Ridge, in charge of the Black Wind Bar! You can't just take my customers' money; where would that leave my face as the boss?”

A cold glint shone in his eyes as if trying to see through the other man. “Fine, as long as you don't welsh on the bet!”

Julius Reed met his gaze, causing a sudden chill in Sonny Ridge's heart.

In his eyes, he felt an indescribable fear.

“I'll put down one million here, do you dare to take it?”

Julius Reed said with a faint smile.

“One million!”

His words caused a stir among the crowd.

The stakes had been one hundred thousand each time, but now, playing against Sonny Ridge, he dared to say one million!

Sonny Ridge was, in name, the boss of the Black Wind Bar. To speak to the boss like this was practically a death wish, wasn't it?

Everyone was full of anticipation.

“Alright, I'll play with you!”

Sonny Ridge furrowed his brows but still nodded in agreement.

He had come to challenge the man, and now he couldn't back out just because the stakes were high, or he would become a laughingstock.

Seeing Sonny Ridge nod, the patrons quickly surrounded the table, ready for the spectacle.

One was a newcomer who had caused a sensation today; the other was the nominal boss of the Black Wind Bar.

The duel between the two was bound to be very interesting.

“But since we're both men, let's solve this in a manly way!”

Sonny Ridge tossed a million in cash onto the table, twisting his neck to limber up.

“Forget it, my time is precious, I don't have time to play with you!”

Julius Reed glanced at his watch and waved his hand towards Aron Jackson, “Let's go!”

At this, all the patrons were stunned.

Sonny Ridge had brought the money and even took a seat, yet the other party just got up to leave?

This was surely a severe lack of respect for Sonny Ridge.

Those familiar with Sonny Ridge grew excited because they knew there was going to be a good show!

This important figure from the Three Blade Group was known for his volatile temper; he wouldn't be able to swallow this insult!

As expected, upon seeing Julius Reed about to leave, Sonny Ridge waved his hand, and the bouncers in the bar immediately surrounded them!

“Boss, what do you mean by this? Is this bar a black shop? Once you come, you're not allowed to leave?”

Julius Reed turned around, smiling at Sonny Ridge.

“Sorry! You can leave, but the money stays!”

Sonny Ridge slowly rose, pointing at the case in Aron Jackson's hand, “Leave the money, and the men can go.”

“What do you mean by this!”

Aron Jackson narrowed his eyes, emitting a chilling aura, and the men accompanying him also readied themselves for a fight.

The air suddenly became tense.

“I'm talking about millions here every minute, you can't afford the loss if you keep me here!”

Julius Reed wasn't nervous but simply smiled lightly.

“Millions? Then let's bet a million! Dare or not! If you win, you take the money and go, I'll assure you no trouble!”

Sonny Ridge patted his chest in guarantee.

“Since you're so confident, why don't I oblige?” Julius Reed stood still, calmly looking at Sonny Ridge.

“Tell me, how should we do this?”

A gleam flashed in Sonny Ridge's eyes as he couldn't refuse such an easy target.

No matter the game, the outcome of his victory was unchangeable.

“Since we're at the bar, let's drink. There are two crates of alcohol, each with twenty-four bottles. Let's see who can drink more in five minutes. The one who drinks the most wins. A real man wouldn't be afraid to drink, right?”

Julius Reed spoke calmly.

“Wow!”

The crowd erupted in an instant!

In Gonzalez City, a million is no small amount!

And to bet so casually, one must be really confident!

“How do I know if you can afford to lose?”

Though Sonny Ridge was secretly ecstatic, he kept a calm facade.

“This card? You can't tell me you don't recognize it, can you?”

Aron Jackson took out a black card and flaunted it in front of Sonny Ridge.

“Where's your money? We want cash!”

“Go, get the money!”

Sonny Ridge waved his hand broadly, trembling with excitement.

As the boss of the bar, of course, he recognized the black card – it contained at least a billion!

Moments later, a lackey from the bar walked up to the drinking table with ten small cases.

“One million per case, ten in total!”

Sonny Ridge opened each case one by one, speaking seriously, “There are so many witnesses here, you better not welch on the bet!”

“They're all real!”

Aron Jackson inspected the cases closely and then nodded at Julius Reed.

“Well then, let's begin.”

Julius Reed smiled faintly, casually picked up a beer bottle, popped the cap off with his finger, and started chugging.

Sonny Ridge, not to be outdone, had the lackey line up opened bottles for him.

But as he had drunk too fast, after three bottles, Sonny Ridge, believing himself to have an impressive tolerance, felt his stomach bloat, and he turned to vomit.

Meanwhile, Julius Reed had already finished over a dozen bottles, as if his stomach was a vast container, continuously pouring them down his throat.

Everyone was astonished – was he still human?

By the time Julius Reed finished the last bottle, Sonny Ridge had only managed six.

His belly was bloated like a ball and his face had turned purple.

“Time's up. Since it's like this, thank you for the generosity, Brother Dragon. I'll take the money and leave!”

Julius Reed got up, placing the final empty bottle on the table, and gave Sonny Ridge a slight smile..
