Chapter 12 Jacob Completes a Perfect Grand Slam
Miranda glanced at Robin, who was not yet on stage, and quipped, “Did you see that? Mr. Walsh has been training with some of the most professional coaches since he was a kid.
“His skills are so good that even a professional athlete would have a hard time winning against him. “And you? You are just a bumpkin. I’m afraid you've never even ridden a horse. Right?
“Robin, we are not from the same world to begin with. So what if | tore up the engagement papers? Why don’t you just leave Hallcester with the 160 thousand dollars | gave you?
“| don’t get it. You gamble Ms. Huber’s trust by gambling the Huber family’s 8 billion dollars investment just to show me that you are better than Mr. Walsh! You're a maniac!
“Robin, | am telling you. No matter how great you appear to be, I, Miranda Brown, will never fall for you, a loser. “You will never be as good as Mr. Walsh! We're not even on the same level! “| advise you that it is not that late to stop now, or you'll be doomed before there’s no going back.”
Crystal walked up and echoed, “Robin, | heard you were engaged to Miranda back in the day. I’m telling you. You don’t belong in the same world as us, so stop trying to get in our circle.
“You have to know yourself, otherwise you will only bring shame on yourself.
“| don’t know the things between you and the Huber family or why Ms. Huber would let you gamble her 8-billion-dollar investment project like this.
“Yet | can tell you this. If you blow the whole thing, the Huber family will never let you off.”
Robin didn’t want to waste his time on them, so he coldly said, “You think too much, Miranda. Your appearance isn’t enough for me to make stupid gestures to please you.
“You better think about how you're going to raise the 48 million dollars after the game.”
At this moment, Jacob, who was already in the arena, was riding a white tall horse and going back and forth like a knight returning from victory.
Coupled with the adulation of a group of people, he had long forgotten that there were 48 million dollars at stake. Crystal looked at Jacob, who was in high spirits, and then looked at Robin, who was next to the arena.
“Robin,” Crystal said scornfully. “You have never played such a noble sport. A word of warning, don’t be impulsive again, otherwise, if you get kicked by the horse before the race has even started, it won't pay.”
Crystal and Miranda’s sneer immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.
Robin ignored them and walked into the arena.
Robin looked back at the two. “Yes, you are right. | have never played such a kind of low-level horseback archery sport before. “| spent time with real guns and bullets and bloody killings.
“In my eyes, this kind of riding and shooting is nothing but a low childish game.”
After saying this, he casually picked up a seemingly strong alloy bow and arrow beside him and gently strained his arms to try its hardness and elasticity.
The hard alloy bow and arrow were instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal because of his strength. Robin shook his head and threw the scrap metal in front of the group of rich young men and women. When the alloy bow he crushed fell in front of them, their jeers stopped at once.
Robin pointed at them with his finger. “Get the 48 million dollars ready. I'll get it after the game!”
With that, he straightened up and strode out onto the arena.
Krish looked at Robin’s back and gnashed his teeth. “He is so arrogant! He doesn’t take us seriously at all! “After you lose the Huber family’s 8-billion-dollar investment project, I'd like to see you this arrogant still!” Karina was outside the arena.
She looked at Robin’s stubborn, almost perfect body and was fascinated.
Robin was on the fresh green field.
His fit and straight body stood out among the group of useless, spoiled young men.
The rules of horseback archery were very simple.
Each side of the competition had three arrows and needed to shoot the target in the sport of riding 500 meters away. 10 points if they hit the bull’s eye, 0 points if they missed, and so on.
In the end, the one with the highest score who hit the target with 3 arrows won.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Robin glanced at the bows on the rack.
None of them met his requirements.
So, he grabbed a bow at random, mounted his horse, and prepared to race.
According to the draw, Jacob went first.
After the shot rang out, Jacob galloped off at lightning speed on his tall horse, prompting cheers from the crowd outside the arena.
Admittedly, as Jacob grew up under the training of famous coaches, his skills in horseback archery were excellent. Jacob was not only handsome but also worked very well with the white charger he was riding.
His appearance was a dazzling sight.
He pulled an arrow and was ready!
He shot an arrow, and it rushed out!
Standing 500 meters away, he hit the bull's eye directly. Ten rings!
Then in the wild rush of the white horse, he fired two arrows that also hit the bull’s eye.
All three arrows hit the bull's eye!
In this match, he completed a perfect grand slam.
Seeing this, Krish, Miranda, and Crystal cried out wildly with excitement.
They thought, “Mr. Walsh won!
“We will no longer have to worry about the 48-million-dollar bet!
“What's more, we will be lucky enough to get the Eastern Business District project that all the major families in the Hallcester business world covet!
“It is worth 8 billion dollars!
“Contracts to sell that share alone could make 1.6 billion dollars!”
While cheering, they glanced at Karina, who was sitting quietly and looking at the arena. They were over the moon.
After the game, the Huber family would lose the Eastern Business District project which was worth 8 billion dollars, which would make Harold furious.
At this time, Karsyn’s whole body trembled, and she dared not look at Karina, who was beside her.
Karsyn thought, “With Jacob’s performance, how is Robin supposed to win him?”
As the crowd applauded, Jacob stepped off the horse.
When he passed Robin, who was about to go up, he sarcastically said, “Mr. Bruce, I’m sorry for making things difficult for you. “What | want to say right now is thank you.
“Thank you for giving us the Huber family’s Eastern Business District project worth 8 billion dollars, which we did not even dare to covet before today.
“If you don’t mind, I'd like to invite you to the best nightclub at the Purpeak Club tonight. | don’t think you've ever seen anything so charming. Right?”
Robin smiled coldly, “The result is not out yet. How do you know you will win?”
Before Robin could finish speaking, Crystal rushed forward and scorned, “Are you blind? The three arrows Mr. Walsh shot were grand slams. How are you supposed to win him?”
Miranda shook her head, her eyes full of sarcasm. “It has come to this point. Robin, can you wake up and stop humiliating yourself?
“What's the point of continuing the game? You want to make a complete fool of yourself? “Given Mr. Walsh’s performance, what’s the point of going up there? You're overestimating yourself.” Jacob deliberately stepped forward and said, “The game is not over. We have to convince him, right?
“Everyone, calm down. Let's enjoy the style of the horseback archery master who comes out of the people in the arena.”
