I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

Chapter 22: Ridicule

An expert? This was an expert?

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on William Scott. Their minds were instantly filled with the top rock climbing experts in the country, but none of them went by the name William Scott.

Xenia Lewis also looked at William Scott and moved her mouth close to William Scott’s ear. She whispered, “He’s the champion of the province. Can you really do it?”

William Scott nodded and said casually, “There shouldn’t be any problems.”

Seeing that William Scott was so relaxed, Xenia Lewis’s doubts disappeared. She immediately raised her head and said, “Jaslin Stewart, even if you got Rocket here, you will definitely lose.”

“You think Rocket will lose?” Jaslin Stewart looked at Xenia Lewis like she was an idiot.

The others immediately began to clamor.

“That’s crazy, isn’t it? Do you know Rocket’s standards?”

“Does he really think that the provincial champion is a nobody? I’ve seen Rocket compete before. The speed is so fast that it’s indescribable. He can give us three seconds’ handicap.”

Rocket waved his hand and everyone immediately fell silent. In everyone’s hearts, Rocket was a celebrity.

“You want to compete with me? May I know how to address you?” Rocket came straight to William Scott and said arrogantly.

William Scott smiled faintly. “William Scott.”

Rocket frowned. “I’ve never heard your name before. May I ask what competitions you’ve been in before?”

......

“I’ve never participated in a competition before.”

William Scott’s words immediately caused a commotion.

“D*mn, he hasn’t even participated in any competitions, yet he says he can win Rocket. How arrogant is he?”

“Haha, I don’t think he’s arrogant at all. He’s simply ignorant. He doesn’t know how much is out there.”

“Not bad, not bad. This is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person in my entire life.”

Rocket waved his hand to stop everyone from making a fuss. With a faint smile on his face, he said, “You can’t say that. Experts are among the commoners. This brother might just be an expert.” The corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a hint of mockery.

Jaslin Stewart leaned into Rocket’s embrace and said coyly, “Darling, since he doesn’t know how much there is out there in the world, you should teach him a lesson.”

Rocket laughed and said, “Sure, let’s have a match. I’ll think of it as training.”

Jaslin Stewart looked at Xenia Lewis provocatively and said, “Xenia Lewis, let’s compete then. Don’t forget our bet. Don’t go back on your word if you lose.”

Xenia Lewis took a look at William Scott, then puffed out her chest and said, “I, Xenia Lewis, have always been a woman of my word. Let’s compete, who’s afraid of who?”

Jaslin Stewart giggled and said, “Let’s do it then. Haha, let’s all see what kind of expert Xenia Lewis invited.”

At this moment, William Scott said, “Wait a minute. I’ve never done this before. Can I try it first?”

Rocket said directly, “Of course you can. Wait, what did you say? You’ve never tried this before?”

“Yeah, it’s my first time,” William Scott replied with a smile.

Silence! Everyone suddenly became quiet. Their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. Then, they all burst into laughter.

“D*mn! Are you kidding me?”

“This is too ridiculous. He’s never played before and he’s already here to compete. Even if I were to go up against him, I would definitely win. Now he even has to compete with Rocket.”

“You’re simply insulting Rocket. You’re asking for a beating.”

“Yes, yes, chase this guy out! She actually found someone who has never played before to compete with Rocket. If this isn’t humiliation, what is?”

Rocket’s face darkened. “Are you sure you’re not kidding?”

William Scott shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, “I’ve never done it before, but it seems to be extremely simple. If you’re not willing to let me try my hand, then we can compete right now.”

“You…” Rocket’s expression became even more awful. He was about to explode.

Xenia Lewis was also at a loss for words. Her confidence in William Scott was also gone. This time, William Scott had really screwed her over.

“You really want to compete with me?” Rocket stared at William Scott.

“That’s right, why else would I be here?”

Rocket sneered and said, “But I will not compete with a rookie because you are not worthy.”

William Scott responded with an ‘oh’ and said, “Are you afraid of losing? If you lose to an expert, your reputation will be fine. But if you lose to me, won’t you feel especially embarrassed?”

“I’ll lose? Haha, I’ll lose to you?” Rocket was instantly amused by William Scott.

“You’ll definitely lose.” William Scott nodded with an indescribable seriousness and certainty.

Veins popped out on Rocket’s forehead as he gritted his teeth and said, “You’re really confident. Okay, I’ll give you a chance. If you want me to compete with you, fine. Let’s have a bet.”

“Go ahead,” William Scott said nonchalantly.

“Let’s bet 100,000 dollars. Do you dare?”

Xenia Lewis was so scared that her face turned pale. She hurriedly grabbed William Scott’s arm and said, “No, you can’t. Who wants to gamble with you?”

Rocket sneered and said, “If you don’t want to gamble, it’s simple. If you lose, you’ll accompany me for the night.”

Xenia Lewis’s eyes were about to spit fire. She gritted her teeth and spat, “You are shameless!”

Rocket laughed and said, “Didn’t this guy say that he would definitely win? Since he can definitely win, why are you afraid? If you don’t dare to bet, then he’s just bragging. It’s already very embarrassing for me to compete with such a nobody. Is my request too much?”

“Yes, yes. It’s not too much.”

“Rocket is right. Why should he compete with a rookie like you?”

“Choose one out of the two stakes, why are you afraid to choose?”

Those who were watching the commotion started to cheer, clearly standing on Jaslin Stewart’s side.

Jaslin Stewart sneered, “Xenia Lewis, what’s the matter? You don’t dare to go for it? We’re all here to have fun. I can’t stand the way you pretend to be so innocent. If you have the guts, come out and have fun. But you don’t dare to. If you don’t have the guts, don’t ever appear here again. Now, crawl three times and bark three times. I’m a magnanimous person, so I can’t be bothered to argue with you.”

With everyone mocking and ridiculing her, Xenia Lewis’s face alternated between shades of green and white. She was about to cry from anger, but William Scott’s expression became colder and colder. He stretched out his arm and hugged Xenia Lewis’s shoulder, then said slowly, “Since you guys insist on playing, then I’ll play with you guys. This bet is too small, so why don’t we make it bigger?”
