Chapter 383: Chapter 383

Seeing that Li Jing was impervious to persuasion, the scar-faced man’s expression shifted unpredictably. He could no longer maintain his fake smile, his eyes gradually growing cold as he frowned and said, "Boss, I’m just a small-time businessman, no need to take things so seriously, right?

I’m not refusing to give it to you. As long as you challenge the fourth pot, regardless of win or lose, I’ll definitely give it to you!"

Detecting the displeasure and impatience in the other’s tone, Li Jing chuckled inwardly. It seemed the other party couldn’t even be bothered to pretend anymore and was starting to openly play rogue.

Li Jing replied coldly, "You said in front of everyone before, whether to continue the challenge or not was up to us.

What now? Lost money and want to renege on the bet?"

"Who said I was reneging?!"

As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, the scar-faced man glared, his facial scars appearing even more sinister: "I did say you could stop challenging, but weren’t we doubling up? Doubling up means the rules have to change!

I’m not bullying you; just challenge the fourth pot, I’ll accept both a win or loss.

I’ve already given in a step; don’t be ungrateful. We all make a living, don’t look down on my stall. I’m not afraid to go against people in shoes while I’m barefoot."

As he finished speaking, Li Jing frowned slightly,

These words carried a rogue-like aura but also hinted at a bit of threat. For origınal chapters go to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

The other party wasn’t just being a rogue; they were actually starting to threaten him, which was very displeasing to Li Jing.

But before Li Jing could speak, Sophie, who had been eagerly waiting for him to continue the challenge, widened her beautiful eyes upon seeing the other cheating, interrupting before Li Jing could challenge again, putting her hands on her hips and standing in front of Li Jing, angrily saying:

"Hey?! What did you mean by that? What, you want to retaliate against us because we aren’t challenging anymore?!"

Sophie’s voice was already clear and bright, and now that she had raised her voice on purpose, it immediately attracted quite a few people around them.

"Barefoot not afraid of those with shoes? What, aren’t you wearing shoes now?! We challenged according to your rules, you’re cheating, and you want to falsely accuse us of bullying you?

You’re so good at acting, why don’t you become an actor? The Oscars owe you a little gold statuette!

The challenge rules were your words, doubling the prize was your words, saying you’d definitely give the prize if lost was also your words.

So when it’s time to pay up you start saying we look down on you stallholders?

A grown man with so many tricks up your sleeve, were you a computer in your past life?!"

Sophie’s words spewed out like a machine gun, and even Li Jing beside her listened in amazement.

This woman’s mouth was truly formidable.

The scar-faced man turned red, wanting to retort while pointing at Sophie, but didn’t know where to start, all he could do was stammer, "You, you..."

"What about me? If I said anything that hurt you, please let me know, and I’ll repeat it."

Sophie, fully fired up, continued, hands on hips, glaring:

"Also, I have trypophobia, can’t get close to people with too many tricks, so stay away from me, or I’ll feel uncomfortable!"

"Look! The fourth pot has been picked up! He can really lift the fourth pot!"

Just as the scar-faced man was at a loss after being reprimanded by Sophie, the crowd noticed that at some point, Li Jing had already walked up to the fourth pot and picked it up with one hand.

At this moment, Li Jing looked at the scar-faced man and smiled, "Boss, since you want me to challenge the fourth pot, I did it. Now, it seems I should be considered successful, right?"

"When did you pick it up?! I haven’t said start, it doesn’t count! It doesn’t count!"

The scar-faced man was stunned, quickly waving his hand.

Earlier, his attention was entirely drawn to Sophie, so he hadn’t noticed Li Jing at all.

He didn’t expect that the other party had secretly lifted the fourth pot without giving him a chance to cheat with the remote control.

"And it still doesn’t count?!"

Hearing this, Sophie, who was initially astonished that Li Jing had managed to lift the fourth pot, immediately exclaimed with anger, "You really think we’re easy to bully, don’t you? I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Jing interrupted Sophie, smiling at the scar-faced man, "You’re saying I can challenge only when you say start, right?"

The scar-faced man repositioned the fourth pot, watching Li Jing closely, afraid he’d do something again, addressing him with severe caution: "You can only lift it while I’m watching."

Li Jing laughed inwardly.

He certainly knew the other person’s intention. The fourth pot was actually lighter than the third, meant to deceive unaware onlookers into trying.

Earlier, a muscular man lost hundreds because of this.

To make the fourth pot either liftable or not liftable as he wished, the scar-faced man must have installed a magnetic device inside it.

If challengers couldn’t lift it, it was fine. But if they did lift the fourth pot, he would activate the remote to deeply magnetize it, so no one could succeed.

Earlier, Li Jing had picked up the fourth pot while the other’s attention was diverted, not allowing the use of the remote control.

Obviously, if Li Jing retook the challenge in front of the man, he’d certainly use the remote.

However, Li Jing had already anticipated his plan. Standing before the fourth pot, he slowly turned to the scar-faced man and said:

"I’ve already lifted it in front of everyone just now, so I can surely do it again. If I can’t, then it can only mean..."

A slight smile appeared on Li Jing’s face, "Your pot is faulty."

As the words fell, the scar-faced man’s pupils constricted, his hand holding the remote in his pocket couldn’t help but tremble.

He had already picked up that fourth pot in front of everyone, proving his strength was sufficient.
