Chapter 1598 Golf Balls (1/2)

The crowd was in an uproar. Anderson exclaimed, ”That's impossible! Why don't you elaborate?”

Li Du sneered at him, ”'And why should I? Honestly, man, I find it really hard to believe you're a business owner when you're so ignorant.”

Anderson retorted firmly, ”Stop trying to digress. I bet you're bluffing. If this is as far as you can go, I can make the same remarks, too. To be frank, I found a six-figure job opportunity after I started coming to this place.”

Li Du said, ”You're trying to rile me up, but it won't work. I'm interested in your proposition, however. You said you wanted to bet. Sure, let's bet, then. How should we do this?”

At the mention of a bet, George Anthony discreetly but hurriedly tugged on Anderson's shirt, hinting to the man not to bet against Li Du.

Anthony had invested a great deal of effort into learning all he could about Li Du in order to deal with him and one of his conclusions was to avoid betting with the man.

According to the information he had gathered, Li Du had never lost a single bet in his life. The people at Flagstaff called him Gao Jin, the Asian God of Gambling.

Anthony wanted to warn Anderson but he did not want to embarrass the man, so he tugged lightly at his shirt, which could be why Anderson did not notice.

On the other hand, perhaps he did, but that temper of his made it difficult for him to back down from a challenge.

He stared at Li Du. ”What are the terms?”

Bell moved to intervene, hoping to mediate, but Joel stopped him. The man said as he chuckled, ”It's boring if we only play golf. Let them go ahead with the bet. Let's see how this unfolds.”

Li Du said, ”I'll propose a job opportunity, one with a six-figure salary, as long as you're willing to put in the work. I lose if I can't do that, but you lose if I can.”

”Of course,” he paused, then added, ”if you can also propose a business opportunity that's executable, then it's my loss. What do you think?”

The terms were fair, but Anderson did not agree immediately. On the contrary, he became cautious.

He had some business capabilities, which was what made him a business owner. He quickly noticed that things were developing rather badly and were on the verge of spinning out of his control.

Therefore, he cautiously probed, ”And the stakes?”

Li Du said, ”Up to you. Any amount is fine.”

Bell could take this no longer. He interrupted, ”Listen to me, both of you. This is no casino and we're not here to gamble. Call it off if it's going to involve money.”

Carberry nodded in agreement. ”He's right, adding money into the mix takes the fun out of things. There is nothing more meaningless in the world than betting on money.”

Li Du then said, ”Alright, then. If I lose, I will admit that I'm a bastard who relies completely on luck to earn what money I have. And if you lose, you have to admit that you're a boorish, foolish trouble-maker. Whoever loses has to go to the main road at the entrance of the club and shout those words three times, loudly. Are you on?”

Anderson relaxed after he heard these terms. This was not much of a bet since he would lose little more than his pride.

The golf course was on the outskirts of the city so the roads were usually empty. Even if he did have to stand at the entrance and shout those words, most likely no one from the outside would actually hear him.

In Anderson's eyes, this bet was nothing more than an attempt to get even. The loss was not big to either party, no matter who won, so he thought it over briefly and nodded. ”Alright, you start.”

Li Du said, ”Let me just say something. The two of us are the ones betting, so we'll need witnesses. I propose for Mr. Carberry, Mr. Joel, and Mr. Chris.”

Anderson nodded again. ”Sure.”
