Chapter 261 - 260: Is this preparation for a war of attrition?
In front of Qi’er, of course, it wasn’t appropriate to beat up Su Yang directly, so they decided to take a softer approach by getting him drunk. Once he was drunk, everything would be settled.
Su Yang remained composed; he could obviously see through their intentions. But, was this tactic really going to work?
He Liang brought out a few wine glasses and poured three shots of white liquor, saying with a laugh, "Young man, it’s our custom here to ’drink less, pour more.’ The more you drink, the more respect you show us. How about this—I’ll drink one shot, and you down these two. That would be showing us some face, right?"
Su Yang glanced at the three shots of white liquor; one bottle had only filled three glasses. In other words, drinking two glasses meant he would have consumed six to seven ounces.
A normal person drinking in this manner would probably collapse on the spot. Even someone with a high tolerance wouldn’t be able to withstand such a challenge.
However, Su Yang simply smiled without a change in expression and said, "Not bad for a custom!"
"Hahaha..." He Liang laughed, picked up one of the glasses of liquor, and drank it in three sips, grimacing as he said, "Young man, this is a cherished liquor from my dad’s collection, over three thousand a bottle. Don’t let it go to waste, eh. Come on, pass it over to me!"
The others immediately passed the white liquor to Su Yang with grins on their faces. Su Yang looked at the glasses before him and chuckled, "According to your custom, after you’ve toasted, doesn’t the guest get a chance to return the toast?"
The crowd was taken aback. Had this guy lost his mind? With nine people at the table, one toast from each would probably be enough to finish you off, and you still want to return the toast?
"Of course, it’s the rule everywhere!" He Liang answered with a smile, not believing Su Yang could last until it was his turn to toast. By the looks of it, Su Yang would be lying under the table like a dead pig, vomiting, after just three people.
"Good!" Su Yang nodded, grabbed the two glasses in front of him, and drank all the contents in one go, without any hesitation.
