Wendell's judgement was confirmed in the next ten games between Liam and Larry.
In ten consecutive games against each other, Liam didn't win a single game. And after each set, Larry would deliberately say something that seemed to be kind, but actually implied excitement, just to stimulate Liam to continue playing with him.
Most importantly, when Liam took out his wallet after each game, Larry's eyes would intentionally or unintentionally stare at his wallet with a gleam in his eyes. That kind of look was definitely not what a wealthy young man or a successful person should have.
From the time Wendell first doubted Larry's motives, he was now completely sure that Larry had indeed come here to win money, and this might not be his only purpose, but it was definitely the main purpose!
The only thing that made Wendell feel somewhat happy was that Helen's face sank.
At the end of each set, Helen had persuaded the of them not to continue playing. With her intelligence, even if she could no longer get caught up in the love affair and her IQ was rapidly decreasing, she could already see that her boyfriend, it seemed, did not have such a pure motive.
What's more, even if it was really just a friendly match, he shouldn't have won so much money from Liam, that was a whole eleven hundred dollars, almost half of Helen's salary for most of the month!
She certainly knew that Liam was still just a student, and this thousand dollars was a considerable amount of money for her, so spending it like that without even hearing a sound must have been heartbreaking, not to mention Liam. Maybe, this thousand is Liam's living expenses for a few months.
However, with Wendell and Liam present, Helen could not say anything more and could only persuade politely. If she said it directly, it would probably make Liam feel uncomfortable, and even, it might make Liam misunderstand: What, your boyfriend won my money, and now you actually advise him to win less, what is this? Showing off?
Considering this, Helen could only secretly give Larry a wink, but Larry, who usually seems to be so eight-faced, at this time it was as if he didn't even see his own look, still smiling and playing billiards with Liam and flirting with each other from time to time.
But Helen didn't know that the ‘flirting' in her eyes was actually Larry provoking Liam, only that women who fall in love are more or less blind and uncontrollable, so how would they notice this?
"Pah!"
When the twelfth game was over, it still ended with Larry winning, and he said with a smile, "How about it, do you dare to have another game, don't cry!"
Liam smiled faintly and handed over another hundred note, he still had a thick stack in his wallet, and looking at it Larry couldn't help but light up again.
"Of course we're going to continue playing, but before we do, we need to go to the toilet first." Wendell said before Liam.
By this time, this side had already attracted the attention of quite a few people, many of whom had gathered around, and with every game Larry played, these people sighed in admiration, and even the owner of the billiard room, couldn't help but nod along.
"This guy's skills are really strong, it's not like he's one of the pros who came to play, right?"
"Who knows, it's not like you don't know the unspoken rules in China nowadays, many players with really great skills may not be famous, maybe this guy is like that, an expert who doesn't hide!"
"It looks like those student-like guys are just plain stupid, how dare they fight against such an expert? And bet?"
"That's right, idiots! Even if they are confident, but after a few games, they should be no match for others afterwards, are they too rich to burn?"
……
The burst of chatter made Larry even more smug, and Helen's face was even more gloomy, her boyfriend won, she should be happy, but the one who lost was her student, and lost so much money, which made her very conflicted.
At this time, Liam and Wendell in the toilet were having a different conversation.
"Crazy, why did you drag me to the toilet?" Liam asked strangely.
Wendell laughed, "What, do you still plan to keep losing? Is the money too hot to handle?"
Liam couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Crazy, do you think I'm stupid?"
Looking at Wendell's faint smile, Liam laughed, "After playing the first set, I knew that my skills were definitely not very east, but why did I continue to play with him? I just want Teacher Helen to see this man's face clearly, someone who can chase after people for a small amount of money, what kind of person will be successful? If Teacher Helen has great enough vision, she will definitely see his true face clearly!"
Wendell was suddenly stunned, he couldn't imagine that Liam was actually planning to do so.
Using his own disgrace to exchange for Helen's sobriety, this was Liam's aim. Wendell had always known that Liam was righteous enough and was very affectionate, but he had never thought that he would make such a sacrifice for a teacher he had known for less than months.
After a mument of silence, Wendell spoke up, "Liam, since this is the case, winning the money might not make Larry's original form come out, it's losing the money that will make him ashamed and angry. Next, let's switch to me!"
"Replace you?" Liam's suspicious gaze sized him up, "Crazy, not that I despise you, do you know how to play billiards?"
Wendell harrumphed, "You guy, can I play billiards, won't you know when I try? Besides, you're going to lose anyway, what's the difference between you losing and me losing? Even if you let me have a go at it!"
"Well, that's fine!" Liam said readily, "However, you can't lose too much, ten games at most. For the rest, you have to let me play, to be honest, I've really learned a lot of techniques from Larry's body!"
Wendell patted his shoulder and laughed, "If you want to learn billiard skills, I'll teach you sometime later!"
With that, under Liam's suspicious and contemptuous gaze, Wendell walked out with big steps.
"Yo, back?" When Larry saw Liam and Wendell come back, he couldn't help but laugh, "I thought you had P_ssed yourselves!"
"I'm afraid it's you who will have to pee later oh!" Wendell smiled faintly and said, "Liam is a bit tired, how about the of us playing a few games next?"
"You want to come too? Same old rules?" Larry was even more pleased with himself, it was better to take turns to win more money.
"No, no!" Wendell shook his head, "1 hundred dollars a game, that's too little, why don't we just do this, one thousand dollars a game, at least ten games, we have enough money with us today anyway, what do you think?"
"Wendell, you don't want to be reckless!" As soon as Wendell's words left his mouth, Helen immediately streat up impatiently and said worriedly, "Why don't we just stop here today and play later."
"Helen!" Larry glared at her, "You can just sit and watch from the side, it's rare that these little guys have such an interest, so I'll play with them!"
