Chapter 74 - The Bet
Chapter 74: The Bet
“Miss Leng, are you shaking your head because you think that Second Miss Xu’s marksmanship isn’t good?”
“Could it be that Miss Leng’s technique is more powerful than Second Miss Xu’s?”
“That’s true. Miss Leng was so powerful on the plane. I think her marksmanship must be very good too. She might even be better than Second Miss Xu!”
The few women surrounding Leng Rongrong spoke in calculated tones.
The sound was loud and sharp, just enough for everyone to hear.
Even the Second Miss of the Xu family, who had been proud of her marksmanship, heard it. Xu Rule frowned in dissatisfaction.
What a b*tch!
She seriously dared to say that her marksmanship was better than hers?
She was first in every shooting competition. She had never lost. She was not worse than those rich young masters. How could a woman dare to say that she was better than her?
Xu Rule had always been very conceited. She had been pampered since she was young, just like a princess.
Since the Xu family had a relative who held a significant position in the underworld group, she could attend the banquet every year by relying on nepotism.
Her greatest wish was to become a very powerful woman and then marry the person in charge of the underworld group, Lord Four.
Usually, everyone knew her temper, so they all flattered her.
Today, however, she heard a few different voices. Xu Rule was a little dissatisfied.
“Is it you? You said that your marksmanship is better than mine?” Xu Rule turned around and walked in front of Leng Rongrong. Her eyes were fixed on Leng Rongrong. When she saw the necklace on Leng Rongrong’s neck, her eyes narrowed.
Wasn’t this the necklace she had always wanted?
The unparalleled necklace was designed by a jewelry designer of the Nether Abyss Empire. How could she be wearing it?
Xu Rule narrowed her eyes and sized Leng Rongrong up.
She truly didn’t like women who were more beautiful and flawless than her!
Furthermore, she had heard some things through her connections. She heard that the Tears of Blood had been given to a woman by Lord Four. The one who had been treated differently by Lord Four… Could she be this woman in front of her?
Other than Miss Ling, she had never seen Lord Four care so much about any woman.
However, Miss Ling had been missing for so long. There was an 80 percent to 90 percent chance that she was dead!
She had thought that she had finally found hope, but what she heard yesterday had made her very angry.
Was this the woman they were referring to?
Leng Rongrong saw the provocation and viciousness in Xu Rule’s eyes. She gave a fake smile and said, “Miss Xu must have heard wrong. I didn’t say anything. Miss Xu’s marksmanship is still very powerful. ”
“Powerful? I don’t think you paid much attention to your compliments! Do you want to compete with me?” Xu Rule asked.
Leng Rongrong was speechless.
“Is the Tears of Blood in your hands? If I win, you’ll give me the necklace. If you win though, what do you want? My necklace isn’t any worse than the Tears of Blood. I can use it as a bet.”
Xu Rule raised her eyes and looked at Leng Rongrong provocatively. “Don’t you want to accept the challenge? Are you afraid?”
“I’m not interested in your necklace,” Leng Rongrong said.
“Then, what are you interested in?” Xu Rule was curious.
“The gun in your hand seems pretty good. If I win, I want your gun,” Leng Rongrong said.
Xu Rule looked at the pistol in her hand. It was a pistol that was out of print. The person who made it was already dead. She had borrowed it from her uncle to play with.
Her uncle cared a lot about this pistol, so how could she give it away?
However, this woman’s arms were so thin. It was obvious that she didn’t have much strength. Even a gunman would tremble. She definitely couldn’t win against her. She would only be embarrassing herself.
Xu Rule thought that she would surely win.
Xu Rule said readily, “Alright, if you win, I’ll give you this pistol. If I win, you give me the necklace. I’ll keep my word!”
“Alright,” she said. Leng Rongrong agreed readily. Her eyes were glimmering.
The silver-gray pistol in Xu Rule’s hand was truly not simple. It seemed to be out of print. It was more expensive than the ruby necklace on the market. It had more collection value. If she could get it and give it to her godfather, he would be very happy!
Leng Rongrong and Xu Rule took a few steps forward.
“How do we compete?” Xu Rule looked at Leng Rongrong and asked.
“Isn’t it too simple to compete like this? The target is too close. Why don’t we go further?” Leng Rongrong glanced at Xu Rule.
“Alright.” Xu Rule glanced at Leng Rongrong and felt that Leng Rongrong’s tone was quite arrogant.
Leng Rongrong truly felt that the target was too close.
No matter how far the target was, could she hit it?
She would probably miss the target.
The surrounding crowd watched the show with great interest. They had never seen anyone who dared to challenge Second Miss Xu.
Of the two young ladies of the Xu family, the eldest young lady was gentle and demure, and even a little cowardly. She was not favored by the Xu family.
However, Second Miss Xu was very doted on in the Xu family. She had an arrogant personality and a bad temper, but she was very capable.
As a result, she was highly regarded by the youngest aunt of the Xu family and was a favored person in front of her. Hence, everyone in the Nether Abyss Empire knew of her existence, and no one dared to offend her.
Because the Young Master of the Xu family was very protective of her, no one dared to challenge her.
Even if someone were to compete with the Xu family’s Second Young Miss, they would not dare to win.
No one had expected that Leng Rongrong, a woman who looked like she had no background, would seriously dare to challenge Second Miss Xu.
“Second Miss Xu will surely win!”
“She’s truly too stupid. She dared to use the Tears of Blood as a bet!”
“Such a precious necklace is going to fall into the hands of the Xu family’s Second Miss.”
“I don’t need to watch to know the result.”
The few women who had followed Leng Rongrong just now were snickering.
They had originally wanted Leng Rongrong to go to the beast cage, but someone had thought of a better idea. After all, the crazy woman, Second Miss Xu, was scarier than a beast.
Whoever fell into her hands would die worse than a beast.
So they had intentionally led Leng Rongrong here.
Leng Rongrong didn’t expect that she had been tricked the whole time. She was only interested in the pistol in Xu Rule’s hand, so she had planned to compete.
After the staff was ready, the two of them each took a gun.
After that, they each aimed at their target and started shooting.
For the sake of fairness, the guns were the same, and the target distance was the same.
After firing ten bullets, the two of them had to change their guns and target before firing another ten bullets. It was truly fair.
A gunshot rang out, and Leng Rongrong easily hit the bullseye.
Ten bullets, each one hitting the red center and the same position, directly piercing a small hole in the target, and that hole was only the size of a bullet. It was easy to imagine how accurate Leng Rongrong’s shots were.
