Chapter 21: Don’t Worry, You Have Me
“I’ll give it a try then.” William Scott agreed readily.
“A try… William, the stakes are very high this time. If I lose, I’ll be in trouble.”
“There’s even a bet? What did you guys bet on?” William Scott frowned slightly. When a girl made a bet with others, the things involved were usually very sensitive. He didn’t really like girls using such things to gamble with others.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t tell me you think I’m betting my body, my feelings, or my first kiss?” Xenia Lewis was confused at first, then she pointed at William Scott and shouted angrily.
“Oh, it’s not like that? If it’s just money, then it doesn’t matter.” William Scott’s expression softened.
Xenia Lewis snorted and raised her chin. She said proudly, “I despise you. You didn’t ask about the situation and just pulled a long face with me. You’re similar to Yvette in this aspect.”
William Scott said apologetically, “Alright, alright. I was thinking too much. What did you guys bet on?”
“If any of us loses, we’ll have to crawl three rounds on the ground and bark thrice.”
“That’s humiliating.” William Scott frowned.
Xenia Lewis said angrily, “That’s right. That woman is looking for trouble every day. She’s always looking for trouble with me. I usually ignore her, but this time, she’s really too much. I couldn’t take it anymore and agreed on impulse. William, you have to help me win. Otherwise, I’ll lose face and can’t play here anymore.”
“Alright, I’ll try my best.”
“Don’t just try your best. You have to win.” Xenia Lewis grabbed William Scott’s arm and shook it vigorously. Her eyes were filled with pleading.
William Scott shook his head. “Alright, I’ll help you win then. You little girls are really messing around.”
......
Xenia Lewis tilted her head and stared at William Scott. “William, from your words, you seem to be very confident?”
William Scott smiled. “It shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Deal! It’s all up to you now.” Xenia Lewis suddenly patted William Scott forcefully. At this moment, she was actually full of confidence.
Xenia Lewis quickly brought William Scott to the gym.
“William, now that we’re here, I’ll call you by your name and not introduce you as my cousin-in-law. Otherwise, I’ll feel weird.”
William Scott didn’t mind. After all, he was a fake.
This clubhouse was mostly filled with fashionable fitness equipment. Xenia Lewis introduced William Scott as they walked in.
“This is a place where you can rollerblade. This other area is where you can skate. Here you can practice calisthenics. This is my favorite place. There are people walking on roofs and walls. It’s really cool.”
William Scott could not help but shake his head as he watched the people running and jumping between the various obstacles.
“What’s wrong? Are they lousy?” Xenia Lewis whispered in William Scott’s ear.
“You seem to have a lot of confidence in me.” William Scott turned around and replied. Their faces were so close that he could feel the heat coming out of Xenia Lewis’s mouth with a faint fragrance.
Xenia Lewis clenched her fists and said firmly, “Of course. Anyway, I feel that you are definitely an expert when it comes to physical techniques.”
The last time William Scott saved her from the bear’s mouth, Xenia Lewis’s memory was so vivid. She had seen that fierce and tall black bear with her own eyes. No matter how fierce it was, she could not touch William Scott at all. In his heart, William Scott’s strength was simply indescribable.
“Yo, Xenia Lewis, don’t tell me this uncle is the expert you found?”
Soon, William Scott and Xenia Lewis arrived at the rock-climbing area. A girl with dyed red hair and heavy makeup mocked Xenia Lewis.
Xenia Lewis raised her chin and said proudly, “That’s right, this is the expert I invited.”
“He…” The girl suddenly burst out laughing. Then, she pointed at William Scott and laughed loudly. “Everyone, come and see. Xenia Lewis actually invited an uncle.”
“This is too ridiculous. Uncle, can your body hold up?”
“Uncle, you look quite strong, but just that bit of muscles won’t do.”
The people around the girl laughed loudly and mocked her.
Actually, most of the young people here were in their twenties. But for the rock climbing sport, the people engaged in it were slightly older. There were also a lot of people around 24 or 25 years old. Otherwise, Xenia Lewis wouldn’t have come here to play.
However, even though William Scott was only 25 years old, he had been exposed to wind, rain, and the scorching sun all these years. His skin appeared a little rough, and his skin tone was darker. Even so, he looked like he was only two or three years older.
Xenia Lewis snorted and said, “Jaslin Stewart, shut your mouth. I’m here to compete with you, not to listen to you spout nonsense.”
The girl with heavy makeup was Jaslin Stewart. She pursed her lips in disdain and said, “Xenia Lewis, are you trying to lose to me earlier so that you can bark like a dog?”
Xenia Lewis also had a face of disdain and said, “Then I want to see who will be the one to bark like a dog.”
“Okay, let’s begin then. Dear Rocket, it’s your turn,” Jaslin Stewart suddenly raised her voice.
Following Jaslin Stewart’s shout, a muscular man wearing a black tank top and tight shorts strode out.
“Rocket!”
“Oh my god, it’s really Rocket. Jaslin Stewart actually invited Rocket here.”
“This is so exciting. I can’t believe we can actually see Rocket perform.”
More comments were made.
With the appearance of this man, the crowd immediately became excited.
Xenia Lewis’s expression instantly turned ugly.
William Scott asked softly, “Is this Rocket very powerful?”
Xenia Lewis’s mouth twitched and she whispered, “Powerful? Not only is he powerful, he’s the champion of barehanded rock climbing in the province for the past two years. Even in the National League, he’s ranked in the top five. Don’t you think he’s powerful?”
Nodding his head, William Scott replied, “Then his standard must be extraordinary.”
“This is bad. I’m definitely going to lose.” Xenia Lewis’s expression became even more bitter, and she was about to cry.
William Scott patted her shoulder gently and whispered in her ear, “He’s just a provincial champion. Watch how I defeat him.”
“Ah? You can really beat him?” Xenia Lewis cried out involuntarily.
The surrounding people immediately focused their attention on Xenia Lewis and William Scott. The rocket had already appeared and Xenia Lewis still said her guy could win. Was this guy really that strong?
