The Secretly Rich Man
Chapter 1744
Unfortunately for him, Gerald wasnât about to grant him such a chance.
Immediately picking the bowling ball up, Gerald then walked toward the lane⦠Without even having to look where he was throwing, Gerald then confidently tossed it toward the pins.
Every dog had its day, and it was now Geraldâs turn to do the mocking. After all, he was simply doing the same thing that Xanry had done to him in the first round.
Whatever the case was, as expected, no pins remained standing, signifying yet another strike from Gerald. With the scores being fifty-two against forty-nine now, Geraldâs score had finally surpassed Xanryâsâ¦
With Geraldâs turn over, the start of the seventh and final round beganâ¦
By this point, Xanry knew that he couldnât afford to mess up anymore. If he didnât land a strike, then he would surely lose to Gerald!
He was also worried that Gerald would get yet another strike⦠If that happened, then Xanry would still lose the competition, regardless of whether he managed to get that final strike or not⦠With that in mind, he could only pray that Gerald made a mistake in his final throw.
Shaking the thought off, Xanry then picked his final bowling ball before walking toward the laneâ¦
As he took in a deep breath, Xanry heard as his classmates began cheering for him.
âMonitor, come on, you can do it!â
âYeah! Youâll definitely win, monitor!â
Upon hearing that, Xanry felt his confidence slowly return to him.
Now that he had recovered his strength, he glared at the pins before tossing the ball forward in a fluid motion!
Rolling in a straight line, the ball never swerved, and in the end, all ten pins were hit with a loud clatter!
âStrike!â yelled Xanry as he instantly jumped in joy and excitement. At the very least his final throw wasnât a disappointment.
However, now that that was over, it was now Geraldâs turnâ¦
Geraldâs performance in this final round would decide who won the battle. If Gerald got another strike, then it would officially be Xanryâs loss. However, if Gerald flubbed his roll, then it would be Xanryâs winâ¦
Looking at Xanryâs score of fifty-nine, Gerald knew that he only had to hit eight pins in order to surpass Xanry by a single point. Of course, with how easily he had been getting strikes, hitting eight pins was nothing to Gerald.
With that, Gerald then picked his final bowling ball and adjusted the strength in his hands⦠before tossing the ball forward!
Swiftly rolling along the lane, the clattering of pins could soon be heard as the bowling ballâs strike left only two pins standingâ¦
Just as Gerald had hoped for, he had managed to hit exactly eight pins, and with his score being sixty, he had managed to win against Xanry by exactly one point!
Xanry himself could only stand there, completely flabbergasted. To think that he would be defeated by someone who hadnât even played bowling before!
Of course, Gerald was no stranger to bowling, but Xanry didnât know that, nor did he need to.
Regardless, despite winning, Gerald didnât want Xanry to get too embarrassed. After all, in the end, he was still Junoâs monitor. With that said, Gerald knew he had to give Xanry at least some respect.
With that in mind, Gerald then smiled faintly before saying in a humble tone, âI guess I won, monitor!
Sorry for that! However, I know how much of a pro you are in this game, so Iâm pretty sure you deliberately lost to me, right?â
Upon hearing that, Xanry instantly caught on to what Gerald was trying to do. Since Gerald was granting him a chance to lessen his shame, Xanry was certainly not going to say no to that.
