Chapter 1259: The Basketball Game
"Hmph!" Bobby snorted coldly. "Kid, didn't you say you and Marie are just friends? What does it matter to you if I pursue her? If you know what's good for you, get lost now, or else I'll be rude!"
"Bobby, it seems like you're asking for a beating!" Chris Shelby stood up, clenching his fists.
Seeing this, Bobby's face turned ugly. After being severely taught a lesson by Chris Shelby last time, Bobby knew he was no match for him. If Chris Shelby decided to fight, Bobby would surely be beaten badly No way! He couldn't afford to lose face again!
Suddenly, Bobby's eyes lit up with an idea. "Kid, I won't fight you! We're all adults here; fighting is meaningless. How about we have a basketball match instead?"
Besides being the president of the boxing club, Bobby was also the captain of East Coast University's basketball team. He was very confident in his basketball skills.
Hearing this, Marie couldn't help but scold, "Bobby, you're despicable! You're the basketball team captain and you want to challenge Mr. Shelby to a game? That's shameless!"
Bobby ignored Marie's words and looked at Chris Shelby with a mocking smile. "Kid, do you dare to compete with me?"
Although Bobby couldn't beat Chris Shelby in a fight, he didn't believe he could lose to him in basketball. Chris Shelby saw through Bobby's little scheme immediately. But someone like Bobby had no right to challenge him in basketball.
Chris Shelby replied calmly, "Sorry, I'm not interested."
"Hahaha!" Bobby laughed disdainfully. "Kid, I think you're just scared! Are you a coward? If so, I suggest you stay away from Marie!"
Chris Shelby saw through Bobby's low-level provocation easily. "It's not that I don't want to compete; it's that you're not qualified."
"You..." Bobby was instantly furious. As the captain of East Coast University's basketball team, how could Chris Shelby say he wasn't qualified?
"Kid, if you don't compete with me today, you won't leave East Coast University!" With that, Bobby's dozens of followers surrounded Chris Shelby and his friends.
Despite the situation, Chris Shelby remained unfazed. A mere group of college students didn't concern him.
Chris Shelby looked at Bobby indifferently and said, "I'll compete with you if you agree that if you lose, you'll stop bothering Marie. Deal?"
"What?" Bobby didn't expect Chris Shelby to be so ruthless as to demand he leave Marie alone.
Bobby gritted his teeth and asked, "Kid, what if you lose?"
"Don't worry; I won't lose," Chris Shelby said expressionlessly. "If I lose, I won't stop you from pursuing Marie. How about that?"
Hearing this, Bobby's eyes lit up. In his view, Chris Shelby was the biggest obstacle in his pursuit of Marie. If Chris Shelby stopped interfering, he was sure he'd succeed. Bobby said smugly, "Kid, that's what you said. Don't go back on your word."
Chris Shelby replied calmly, "Don't worry; I won't."
Hearing their conversation caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd. Bobby was a well-known figure at school, especially recognized for his top-notch basketball skills. Competing against Bobby in basketball seemed like asking for trouble for Chris Shelby. Moreover, this involved Marie-the campus beauty-whom many pursued fervently.
As news spread quickly on East
Coast University's forums and
official website about the upcoming basketball match between Chris Shelby and Bobby, excitement surged throughout the campus.
Soon enough, the basketball court was packed with students eager to witness the showdown.
As Chris Shelby and Bobby prepared for their game, a student nearby smirked coldly while exuding a chilling aura.
Bobby stared at Chris Shelby and
said, "Chris Shelby, we'll play one-on-one! One defends while the other attacks for thirty minutes. Whoever scores more points in that time wins!"
Chris Shelby nodded in agreement. "Fine."
The game began quickly.
As the captain of East Coast University's basketball team, Bobby's skills were impressive. He dribbled towards Chris Shelby confidently while Chris remained still.
To Chris Shelby, Bobby wasn't worth considering seriously. He had once infiltrated a basketball club to assassinate its manager who had publicly insulted Amerosia.
Chris joined the club and helped
them win the championship within a
year before killing the manager
when he
east expected it-a mission
that shook the global basketball scene and earned him the nickname
"Blood Butcher." content.
Bobby challenging him to basketball was laughable.
Bobby dribbled swiftly towards Chris with a sneer on his lips as he saw Chris standing still-mistaking him for an amateur too scared to move.
This time victory seemed certain for Bobby!
