Chapter 631 - 0633: Unwilling to Listen Anymore
Even Chu Ge could tell that these words were obviously a provocative challenge, but as young and impetuous as he was, Nangong Yunrao was readily provoked by Yuwen Kangli’s casual incitement.
Nangong Yunrao glared menacingly at Yuwen Kangli and coldly stated, "What did you say? That I can’t afford to lose? What a joke!"
"Then do you dare to bet with me?" asked Yuwen Kangli.
"Let’s bet!" Nangong Yunrao snorted, determined to show his prowess today and let him realize that he was not the weakling Nangong Yunhai, a thousand times stronger than him, and a thousand times stronger than Yuwen Kangli!
"How do you want to bet?" Nangong Yunrao inquired.
A cunning glint flashed in Yuwen Kangli’s eye as he slightly curved his lips and slowly said, "Actually, it’s quite simple. Each person opens ten stones, and we’ll see who unveils the most jade. As for the one who loses, there must be a punishment."
Seeing the confidence Yuwen Kangli was exuding, Nangong Yunrao felt infuriated and stared at him irately, "What kind of punishment?"
"How about we bet on the shares you hold in the Nangong Family?" Yuwen Kangli suggested suavely.
Nangong Yunrao was momentarily startled, then narrowed his eyes in scornful contemplation at Yuwen Kangli, mockingly retorting, "So that’s why you suddenly want to gamble stones with me, coveting the Nangong Family shares I hold."
Indeed, Yuwen Kangli had his eye on the Nangong Family’s shares, but not just the ones held by Nangong Yunrao. He desired even more.
"So, do you dare to bet or not?" Yuwen Kangli asked with a slight smile.
Nangong Yunrao hesitated. These shares were a gift from his grandfather when he came of age this year; possibly the only Nangong Family shares he would have in his lifetime. He was counting on the annual dividends from these shares to live a carefree life.
