Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Strange and Eccentric
What’s up with this guy? Doesn’t he think he can really drink?
It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other; it’s very normal if he’s changed a bit. But if he really can drink, wouldn’t that be awful?
So at this moment, he immediately spoke up.
"Wait a second, I need to use the restroom, I ate a bit too much earlier."
When Liu Zheng heard this, he just smirked slightly.
"Sure, of course you can go. Just don’t run off, okay?"
The sentence he added carried quite a significant dose of sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Huang Haoxiang’s face grew even darker.
And quickly, he left the place.
His buddies’ phones rang, and they too made excuses to leave.
Afterward, a few of them gathered in the bathroom to discuss what they should do next.
"Oh my God, what’s with Liu Zheng? Why doesn’t he act humble at all? He couldn’t actually be good at drinking, could he?"
After one person voiced this concern, the others chimed in.
"Yeah, I thought he was just talking big so he could play the hero and save the beauty, but he seems so calm and collected."
"Right, I’m starting to worry here. He saw all that alcohol being brought in and didn’t even bat an eyelid."
At this moment, hearing what everyone said, Huang Haoxiang also truly started to feel anxious.
He hadn’t considered this possibility before, but now a sliver of worry indeed appeared in his heart.
What if?
This wasn’t something he could have predicted.
"Yeah, I find it strange. Could our plan for today be doomed?"
Just then, someone suddenly spoke up.
"Even if he has become a better drinker over the years, so what? We have so many people here. He said we drink as much as he does, but can he outdrink all of us by himself? Impossible!"
After hearing this, the others thought about it seriously, and after careful consideration, it seemed to make sense.
Even if he really can hold his liquor well.
It’s still unlikely that he could drink all of us under the table.
Especially since there are about ten of us here.
Liu Zheng’s boasting was really a bit too much.
"Right, now that you mention it, it does make sense. We have the advantage in numbers; he can’t possibly outdrink all of us. If he could, he might as well set a Guinness World Record."
"Exactly, we haven’t heard anything about him before. I think he might just be exaggerating to rattle us and make us forfeit on our own."
"Yes, Brother Huang, don’t worry. Not only will we show him our strength this time, but you will definitely succeed."
"Right, this time, Brother Huang, you’re sure to achieve your goal and win the beauty."
...
These people began to change their minds again.
At first, they really were a bit scared and anxious, but after thinking it over, no matter how you slice it, one person couldn’t possibly drink more than ten people, so they eventually became much more at ease.
And these ten or so people could all hold their own when it comes to drinking.
Right now, they just thought that Liu Zheng was putting on airs.
Once Huang Haoxiang heard all this, he too felt that what everyone said made sense.
If that’s the case, then he had nothing to worry about.
After that, his nervousness disappeared at this moment, and then he started to smile and nod continuously as he spoke.
"Yeah, I was just worrying about something, but we have so many people here. Can he really take us all on himself? I was really overthinking it."
"No matter what, you have to help me get this done properly. There will definitely be a reward for you when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately nodded and agreed.
Meanwhile, some people in the private room were genuinely a bit worried since those others hadn’t come back for a long time.
At that moment, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but say,
"Why haven’t they come back yet? They couldn’t have run off, could they?"
Just after he said that, those people immediately pushed the door open and came in.
"How could that be? We were just using the restroom."
Huang Haoxiang gave him a cold look and then walked in.
The people beside him echoed in agreement,
"Yeah, don’t talk nonsense."
"Right, don’t falsely accuse us."
Looking at those people, they were like dogs around Huang Haoxiang.
Whatever Huang Haoxiang said, they believed it was true.
Liu Zheng found it incredibly funny.
He truly didn’t know what kind of benefits Huang Haoxiang had given them.
"Oh, good, you didn’t run away. But it’s really funny that you all went to the restroom together; it’s like something schoolgirls would do."
His way of speaking was really sharp and made it impossible for others to know how to rebut.
Moreover, it was indeed very sarcastic and full of irony.
After hearing this, the expressions of those few people indeed became very complicated.
They had never thought that Liu Zheng could be so tough.
Even now, he still managed to say such things.
This really made them feel incredibly incredulous.
"So, are you ready? If you’re prepared, let’s start now and not waste any more time."
After hearing this, no one had anything more to say.
Soon, Liu Zheng directly lifted one of the boxes of alcohol in front of himself.
"Let’s drink it box by box. I’ll drink this box, and you all drink that one."
After hearing that, those few people also immediately lifted the other box of alcohol in front of them.
The other people watching this scene were truly amazed; they really didn’t want to stay there anymore, fearing the conflict might soon spread to them.
But they didn’t know what excuse to make to leave.
They were also afraid Huang Haoxiang might redirect his anger towards them eventually.
So while several people wanted to leave, they appeared very helpless and couldn’t.
Liu Zheng didn’t care about them anymore at this point.
After all, those people had just stood by indifferently, watching from the sidelines.
And quickly, without wasting any time, he opened the bottles and started drinking.
Those in front of him naturally didn’t waste any time either.
They also immediately began to drink.
In the whole room, no one spoke; only the sound of drinking could be heard.
Everyone felt the atmosphere was truly awkward.
