Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Kneel

The huge bow was really drawn by Robin into the shape of a full moon!

As the large horn bow was slowly pulled apart, the three sharp arrows resting on the bow were pointed at the moving target.

A loud sound rang out.

It pierced the air.

The three long arrows whistled through the air, smashing three solid wood bull’s eyes 2,000 meters away. All three arrows hit the bull’s eye!

Robin put the big horn bow on the bow rack.

Then he took the towel from the waiter, wiped his hands, and looked at Jacob, who was still in shock.

“Enough. Stop blabbering, or even I would feel ashamed for you. Let’s go and settle the score.”

Jacob was utterly humiliated, and he even wanted to kill Robin now.

The whole shooting range was silent.

Then there was an uproar!

After a bit of rage, Krish shouted from the sidelines, “Jacob, come back here! Don’t be a sore loser! It’s just 16 million dollars!”

Jacob was desperate.

He thought, “It’s 16 million dollars!

“The point is, my family cannot afford that!

“Only I know that despite my family’s reputation, we’re already at the end of the road.

“In the second half of last year, my family failed two business deals in Hashville.

“After that, my family’s financial chain was basically on the verge of breaking.

“I can’t afford a 16-million-dollar bet at all.

“I just wanted to humiliate Robin at first.

“I never thought this bet would put me in such an embarrassing position.

“And I have to pay 16 million dollars!

“I have no idea how to respond to Krish.

“I can only quickly think about how to deal with the upcoming scene.

“Purpeak Club is no ordinary place.

“Everyone in Hallcester knows that Cecilia is ruthless and will not allow anyone to break the rules on her turf.”

Seeing Jacob standing in situ and refusing to leave, the referee of the archery field said coldly, “Mr. Walsh, the result of this game is very clear. Please cash your bets outside the arena. Don’t make it hard for us.

“Otherwise, we will immediately report this bet to Ms. Decker, and then it will be more than a matter of 16 million dollars.”

Jacob was in a cold sweat. He knew what that meant.

***

Meanwhile, Cecilia was at the fitness center on the 15th floor of the building opposite the shooting range.

She was wearing a gym vest and shorts and concentrating on yoga.

She looked at Robin’s brave posture in the video and smiled charmingly.

She wiggled her voluptuous body and breathed a long sigh of relief.

“The contest is fun. I didn’t expect Karina to have such a capable man around her.”

She stood up slowly, swinging her long, fair legs. She was wearing seductive fishnet stockings.

She took the towel handed to her by Livia Colon, her maid, wiped her fair body, sat on the bench, and stretched lazily.

“I want to meet him alone. Livia, arrange it.

“In the nearly six years since the establishment of Purpeak Club, no one has been able to pull this big horn bow.”

“And he hit the moving target with three arrows and a bow from 2,000 meters away. All three arrows hit the bull’s eye!

“He’s extraordinary, and his arm strength stands out even more.”

A woman in a white uniform with crisp short hair nodded, her eyes flashing with fear.

“Ms. Decker, he is a master! I’m guessing he’s some kind of executioner who’s been in the field.”

Cecilia smiled.

Her smile was beautiful and charming.

“Interesting. Maybe he’s the one I’m waiting for.”

She wiped the beads of perspiration from her body, and a longing gleamed in her beautiful eyes.

“Livia, tell them that at Purpeak Club, anyone who tries to break my rules will have both hands cut off!”

“Yes, Ms. Decker.”

Livia came to the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center.

The staff at the club were greatly surprised.

They barely saw Livia, Cecilia’s maid, show up here.

They hurried to her and respectfully said, “Ms. Colon, what an honor. What can we do for you?”

“What are you doing here? Is someone betting here?”

The staff of the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center brought the gambling contract signed by Robin, Jacob, and the others to Livia.

“Ms. Colon, please take a look. It’s their betting contract.”

“Since the betting result has come out, what are you waiting for?”

After a brief moment of hesitation, Jacob walked to Livia and said fawningly, “Hello, Ms. Colon. I’m Jacob Walsh from the Walsh family in Hallcester.

“I have been admiring you and Ms. Decker.

“Today, I am invited by Ms. Decker to come here together with my father to discuss the share of the investment project of the Eastern Business District…”

Before he could finish, Livia said coldly, “Don’t talk to me about this. Do what you have to do!”

Jacob gave a dry, awkward laugh. “OK, sure, Ms. Colon.”

Robin was on the sidelines at the moment.

Livia sized Robin up and nodded at Karina. “Ms. Huber, hi. Ms. Decker wants to meet with Mr. Bruce.”

Karina was slightly stunned, not sure what Cecilia wanted.

Robin glanced at Livia. “I’m busy right now. They haven’t honored my bet yet.”

Noticing Livia’s expression, Krish immediately said, “I’ll arrange the transfer right now.”

Hearing that, Crystal soon contacted her family and transferred 8 million dollars to the card provided by Karina.

Miranda was very reluctant.

Yet she couldn’t afford to be humiliated, so she gritted her teeth and took out 8 million dollars from her savings over the years and transferred it to Karina’s card.

Jacob was in a dilemma.

Only he knew that he could not come up with 16 million dollars from his family to redeem the bet.

“Mr. Walsh, everyone is waiting for you. Do you want to repudiate?” Robin gave a sneer.

Seeing that Jacob was stalling, Miranda said unhappily, “Mr. Walsh, what’s going on? Just give him the money, and let’s go!

“A man like him has never seen so much money. Don’t you see? He’s desperate for the money!”

Robin pursed his lips. “Mr. Walsh, if you really don’t have that kind of money, I can offer you a way.”

“What is it?” Jacob’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Robin sneered, “Kneel and respect me, and you can save 16 million dollars.”
