Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Can’t Drink It Down
Liu Zheng just kept on drinking.
Until Chen Xiaoxiao beside him couldn’t bear to watch anymore, she reached out to grab him and gently shook her head with a pitiful look on her face.
"Don’t drink too much, they probably can’t catch up with you now. If you drink too much, your stomach might not be able to take it," she said.
"I’m really grateful that you can help me, but I don’t want you to have any problems with your body either," she added.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng simply raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder, then spoke.
"Don’t worry, stop fretting, I’ll just sit here obediently," he assured her.
He could see that Chen Xiaoxiao was genuinely worried, her brows tightly furrowed together.
But he truly wasn’t afraid of anything.
No matter what, he wouldn’t submit to this challenge.
Moreover, he had to make these guys drink under the table.
Even if it meant getting them hospitalized.
He had to make them pay the price; otherwise, he wouldn’t be satisfied.
So he continued to drink, crate after crate.
He was treating it as if it were water.
Eventually, he went to the bathroom from time to time.
After all, drinking too much does make one feel the urge to urinate.
And before he knew it, he had drunk who knows how many crates.
The other ten or so people hadn’t even drunk half as much as he had.
Soon, those few people went to the bathroom to induce vomiting.
After vomiting, they came back and continued to drink.
This cycle went on for who knows how long.
Eventually, these people were almost floored by the alcohol.
Some even seemed to have blood in their vomit when they tried to purge themselves.
They really couldn’t take it anymore.
That’s when they tried to speak up.
"Let’s just call it quits, shall we? We should stop drinking and admit defeat, Brother Huang, I really can’t take it anymore," one of them said.
"Yeah, me too. I feel like I’m about to throw up stomach acid; I really can’t stand it anymore. Let’s just stop," another added.
While they repeatedly waved their hands in refusal, they clutched their stomachs, appearing to be in great pain.
How could Huang Haoxiang possibly be faring any better?
At this moment, his complexion also looked terrible, his whole demeanor screamed discomfort.
But he had been brought up this way since childhood.
No matter what, he simply couldn’t admit defeat so easily.
So, seeing those few men in such a state, he felt incredibly angry.
"What the hell do you mean by this? Keep drinking, damn it! We have to catch up to him no matter what," he barked.
At first, they didn’t dare to speak to Huang Haoxiang like this. It wasn’t until they felt their bodies almost couldn’t take it anymore that they pushed themselves to speak.
"But Brother Huang, we really can’t handle it anymore, and if we keep drinking like this, we might end up in the hospital," they protested.
"Yeah, and we haven’t even drunk half as much as he has. There’s no way we can catch up with him now," they echoed.
"Ah, Brother Huang, please spare us, we really can’t take any more," they pleaded.
Upon hearing these words, Huang Haoxiang was seething with anger.
And soon, Liu Zheng stopped drinking, smiled at them and said,
"What’s the matter? Why aren’t you drinking anymore? Are you thinking of giving up?"
"But I already said before, whatever I drink, you drink. Yet now you haven’t even reached half of what I’ve drunk."
"What should we do about this?"
He deliberately spoke like that.
And those brothers were indeed getting uncomfortable.
They really couldn’t handle the words Huang Haoxiang had said.
What if someone actually died? How would they handle it?
After all, there were indeed cases where people died from drinking too much.
If they couldn’t even protect their own lives, they wouldn’t possibly be able to do anything in the future.
At this moment, they also began to plead one after another.
"Ah, we really know we were wrong, can we please not drink anymore? I really can’t drink anymore."
"Yeah, we won’t do such a thing ever again, please spare us, don’t make us continue drinking."
"That’s right, that’s right, if I drink anymore, I might end up in the hospital."
...
The brothers began to plead one after another.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng just responded indifferently.
"But we had already agreed, didn’t we? Isn’t it a bit dishonorable for you to go back on your word now? We had already agreed to play like this, now you’re thinking of going back on your word?"
He deliberately repeated the words these people had said to him just before.
And when they heard this, they indeed felt extremely ashamed.
If they had known it would turn out like this, they would’ve never done such a thing no matter what.
Seeing Liu Zheng speak like this, they didn’t know what to say anymore.
And quickly, Liu Zheng spoke up again.
"Besides, Huang Haoxiang hasn’t agreed yet, it seems like there’s no use in you agreeing, right? You should all listen to him, I assume."
He deliberately provoked them like this.
He wanted to see how Huang Haoxiang would react at this moment.
And those people really couldn’t bear it anymore, quickly turning their eyes to Huang Haoxiang.
They then spoke out one after the other.
"Brother Huang, please spare us, we really can’t take it anymore, let’s just stop here, okay?"
"Yeah, please, if we continue drinking like this, who knows what might happen."
Huang Haoxiang’s face looked terrible.
Seeing everyone in such a state, he really couldn’t keep face.
And he also knew that they probably couldn’t hold out much longer.
But at this moment, he really couldn’t afford to back down.
For years, he got whatever he wanted, and nobody ever dared to defy his will; now, he encountered such a situation.
It was very distressing for him.
But it wasn’t just about his brothers; even he was having a hard time bearing it.
In the end, he could only clench his teeth and say, very unwillingly.
"Forget it then, if we keep drinking like this, someone is going to die."
Seeing him say this, Liu Zheng actually laughed out loud.
"Hey, weren’t you the ones who wanted to force the young girl and me to drink at the beginning? How come you’re begging for mercy now?"
"How about this, plead with me."
When Liu Zheng said this, Huang Haoxiang’s face turned exceedingly ugly, as if he had just eaten excrement.
He had never begged anyone in his life.
He had never thought that he would encounter such a situation today.
At this moment, his brothers really couldn’t hold back either, coming up to Liu Zheng one by one.
"Ah, please, spare us."
