Chapter 182 - Good Liquor (2/2)

Chu Yunxiong called out gently, his wizen eyebrows knitted together. He also sensed that Xiao Luo didn’t appear to be interested in making peace. It almost seemed like he came here intentionally to pick a fight with Long Sankui for purposes only known to himself. Chu Yunxiong started to question if he was meddling unnecessarily.

“Mr. Chu, I have already accepted your proposal for conciliation by showing up here tonight. Mr. Long displayed his hostility to me explicitly from the moment I got here. But now this villain is making charges against his victim. Isn’t he the one who really does not respect you?” said Xiao Luo.

“What a glib tongue. Why would I be here if I don’t respect Mr. Chu?” Long Sankui pounded on the table and roared in rage.

Chu Yunxiong, seizing the opportunity, quickly articulated, “Since both of you have come here to make peace, why don’t you show some good faith? Mr. Long, please alter your previous demand a little bit.”

His commanding tone left little room for any discussion.

Long Sankui felt cornered, and the corner of his mouth again twitched nervously. He was not ready to have Chu Yunxiong saving Xiao Luo from right under his nose. As he turned the matter over in his mind, he happened to see two bottles of Moutai on the table. His eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly said, “Ok, Mr. Chu. I will do this favor for you. He can keep his hand and money, as long as he can drink up these two bottles of Moutai right now. I guarantee you that I will write off all the grievances between us once and for all!”

Leng Zuo and Leng You turned pale after hearing Long Sankui’s words. Moutai was a powerful spirit with an alcohol level of 53% proof. Even drinking half the bottle would land a person in the hospital, needing to flush the gut to prevent alcohol poisoning. How would Xiao Luo be able to finish two entire bottles? How was this making peace at all? He clearly wanted Xiao Luo to die this very night.

Chu Yunxiong’s face darkened. He said, “Mr. Long, is your request in good faith?”

“Correct. This is indeed, my good faith. He mutilated my people and smashed up my casino. Mr. Chu, I would have to say you’re biased if you cannot even see the fairness in my request.” Long Sankui said, pressing the point with a mirthless smirk.

His play had put Chu Yunxiong on the back foot. Granted, his stature might fall a little short in comparison with Chu Yunxiong, but he was still a mafia head and controlled the entire underworld of the Jiangcheng. He was confident that Chu Yunxiong would not dare to start a war with him, especially not over this rascal. After all, they were not young anymore, and there more many other factors to consider.

“Mr. Long has an excellent point. It’s just two bottles of Moutai. I will drink them up!”

Xiao Luo stood up and duly opened the caps of the Moutai. Raising his head back, he started to chug the baijiu directly from the bottle.

“Ding! Congratulations. The Host has mastered the Yi Jin Jing, system redeeming a hundred thousand points from host account!”

The digital voice chimed in Xiao Luo’s head. The balance had now plummeted to a little over two thousand after spending a hundred thousand Points.

Xiao Luo felt a warmth running through his bones and internal pa.s.sages as qi energy circulated throughout his body, rebuilding the cells. A surging wave washed through as the inner force, sequestered the baijiu that had been consumed, preventing it from being absorbed into his vital organs.

Seeing Xiao Luo gulping down the baijiu, everyone in the room was amazed.

“This d*mn rascal is really bold enough to drink it all?”

Long Sankui was in a stupor, then an insidious smile slowly formed on his face. So what that Chu Yunxiong was protecting him? He could still have the youngster die a violent death right here and now. Who could believe that Xiao Luo would still be standing even after drinking two bottles of Moutai baijiu? How could he now fend off an attack from his two henchmen?

Leng Bao and Da Yuan couldn’t help sneering, “Turned out, he is just an arrogant fool!”

Chu Yunxiong remained still and was anxious for Xiao Luo, but he didn’t have any excuse to stop it.

As soon as a whole bottle of Moutai was downed, Xiao Luo started to work on the next one. Long Sankui looked on, surprised that even after consuming large amounts of the alcohol, he was not showing any signs of succ.u.mbing to the potent baijiu. What was going on?

Xiao Luo quickly finished the second as well and placed the empty bottle on the table, wiped off traces of baijiu from the corner of his mouth, and exhaled a deep breath in delight, said, “Good liquor!”
