Chapter 1319 Battle (1/2)
Li Du's act, which appeared cowardly, surprised Blodwen.
They had not known or been around each other much, but Blodwen knew very little about Li Du.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
He felt that Li Du was a capable person, but his status was not as high as that of Steve and the Ford brothers. In a small team of four, he was supposed to be the one who craved respect most and was prepared to do anything to get it.
So he and the bartender cooperated to make Li Du feel left alone, and they expected two possible outcomes: first, that Li Du could not stand the mocking, and drink up the cocktail; and second, that Li Du would ignore his prompting and drink slowly.
If Li Du made the first choice, he would be in great pain once he swallowed the liquor. If he made the second choice, it wouldn't hurt, but it would make him lose respect.
However, unexpectedly, Li Du chose a third option. He did not drink one bit and did not even care.
Blodwen looked at Li Du with an odd expression and could only say, ”You've wasted a good drink. Do you know how much it costs me to fly it here from England?”
Li Du said, ”I don't want to waste a drink, but I would like someone's company when drinking. What fun is it to drink alone? How about this, let's drink together. The ultimate tough guy showdown!”
He winked at Steve and the Ford brothers like Blodwen did, except that Blodwen was subtle and Li Du was not hiding his intentions.
Steve immediately exclaimed, ”Ok, tough guys! I love watching games like this, but I can't drink. I wish I had a healthy heart!”
”Wow, this sounds cool! Bobby, dare you to take the challenge?”
”You must accept it, brother. The British tough guy can't flinch, if you flinch then you embarrass the entire British nation as you lose to the Chinese!”
Blodwen's expression was sour. The other side united to make him feel inadequate. Their intention was very clear, to make him have a battle of men with Li Du!
The ultimate tough guy contest was a form of a bar fight in which six shots were prepared for each participant. Everyone would drink one shot after another at the same time, and the last one to fall was the ultimate tough guy.
This and other drinking games were very popular in Russia, despite many people dying every year because of alcohol abuse, and despite relentless government campaigns to stop it.
Blodwen did not want to compete in drinking with Li Du, but he couldn't refuse without losing face. His pride was at stake, forcing him to participate in the battle.
Worst of all, Steve pulled out his phone and turned on the video camera, saying, ”If you don't want to do it, just give up. You can just surrender.”
Li Du smiled and said, ”I think it's a good way to show that British guys are all sissies.”
Blodwen slammed his fist angrily on the table and snapped, ”Well, I'd like to see how much you can drink and who the ultimate tough guy is!”
The whole game was crazy. Blodwen has never seen Chinese dare to play like this, and he felt that Li Du was siding with Steve and the others to make a fool out of him.
At this, Li Du pushed the killer drink forward and said to the bartender, ”Six shots like this for one of us.”
The bartender gasped and looked at Blodwen in surprise.
The veins on Blodwen's forehead pulsed, and he was sure that Li Du was trying to frighten him.
Really tough drinkers consumed strong spirits, usually tequila or vodka, spiced up with tabasco chili sauce. A few shots like that in a row would be enough to knock anyone off their feet.
Blodwen tried to gain confidence by reassuring himself that Li Du could not possibly last longer than he would it and tapped the table for a drink.
The bartender gulped and his hands moved swiftly, mixing the shots of the killer cocktail.
The golden clear liquid glowed warmly under the lights. It looked beautiful. Of course, everyone knew that this kind of beauty was deadly.
Li Du stood to the side of the bar, lined up six shots, raised his first one and said, ”So, shall we start?”
