Chapter 1741

“Your move, Mr. Crawford!” said Xanry as he turned to look at Gerald once he was done.

It was now the start of the second round, and Gerald knew that he couldn’t afford to obtain zero marks again or the

gap between his score and Xanry’s would become too large for him to turn the game around later.

With that, Gerald picked a bowling ball up before slowly walking toward the lane.

The second he got into position, however, Gerald heard Xanry yell out from behind him, “Just make some bold toss,

Mr. Crawford! It’s fine if you don’t hit anything, just take it as practice! After all, you need a lot more of it to even be

able to take on me!”

As roars of laughter ensued, Gerald simply closed his eyes… Before slowly opening them again.

Taking a step forward, Gerald then tossed the bowling ball!

Rather than swerving to the side this time, the ball instead rolled straight for the pins, momentarily surprising Xanry

and the others.

While the sound of bowling pins getting knocked over could be heard, Gerald only managed to hit five pins. With

that in mind, he was now twelve marks behind Xanry.

Since there were six more rounds before the game ended—with the game consisting of eight rounds in total—

Gerald felt that being twelve marks behind Xanry wasn’t really a particularly large difference. After all, he simply

needed to get a higher final score than him to win.

“…Not bad, Mr. Crawford! I guess you really do have some talent to be able to hit five pins!” said Xanry as he

insincerely praised Gerald. Truth be told, the fact that Gerald had managed to hit five pins in the first place was

truly vexing him. How lucky!

While that hit was certainly surprising, Xanry quickly summarized that Gerald still wasn’t a threat to him. He’d

definitely still be able to win and obtain that hundred and fifty dollars!

With that, their little contest resumed and the third round began.

Using his usual tactic, Xanry tossed the ball as easily as the first two rounds… and following the clattering of falling

pins, only a single pin remained standing!

Since he had managed to gain nine points, Xanry now had a total of twenty-six points and this led those

surrounding him to instantly cheer.

Even before Gerald made his move, however, he could already tell that that same crowd was going to jeer at him

no matter what score he got. Still, it was clear to him that those spectators were simply fools fawning over Xanry.

With that in mind, their jeers meant little to Gerald. Gerald hadn’t even displayed his true capabilities yet.

Whatever the case was, Gerald then retrieved his third ball and tossed it skillfully without the slightest hesitation, a

clear contrast to how he tossed his ball in the previous two rounds.

This was all according to plan, of course. Gerald had applied perfect amounts of force to his throws to display

increasing amounts of strength and skill in each passing round. That way, not only would Xanry not be too quick to

be suspicious of him, but he would also be able to ensure that he was making progress in the game.

If everything went smoothly, everyone would surely have a vastly different opinion of him by the end of the bowling

match.

Regardless, as the ball rolled seamlessly on the lane, the familiar clatter of bowling pins could be heard… Gerald

had managed to hit seven pins this time, and he now had twelve points, which meant that he was now only

fourteen marks behind Xanry!

Seeing that Gerald had managed to hit even more pins this time, Xanry’s expression turned even more unpleasant.

To think that Gerald would be able to progress so quickly! He knew he couldn’t afford to go easy on the youth

anymore or their scores would just keep getting closer!

“…It appears that you’re getting the hang of the game extremely quickly, Mr. Crawford! I guess I can’t go easy on

you anymore!” declared Xanry, making sure to make it obvious that he had been going easy on Gerald this entire

time.

Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but chuckle in his mind as he thought, ‘I wonder who’s truly going easy on

who now…’

Whatever the case was, the fourth round soon began…

Since Xanry was up first, he got his ball before concentrating hard on the pins before him…

Once he was ready, he tossed the bowling ball toward the pins extremely swiftly!
