Hunter was displeased and said, âIâm afraid Iâm occupied this whole morning. I donât have enough time for you, Miss Tang.â
âOh, why donât we gamble this afternoon?â said Gu Ning.
âSorry, I need to go home to deal with something important this afternoon. Iâm going to the airport at 1 pm, so Iâm afraid itâs a pity this time,â said Hunter.
Although Hunter said that, everyone knew he was deliberately avoiding Gu Ning. In an instant, people looked at him disdainfully and Hunter could feel it. He was very mad, but pretended to know nothing.
Even if Gu Ning knew that Hunter would leave right this afternoon, she wasnât surprised. It wasnât beyond her expectations.
Those gamblers who were gambling with him were paid to do so. They simply tried to stop Gu Ning from gambling with Hunter.
âWell, Hunter, it seems youâre really popular. There are so many people waiting to gamble with you. I think I only have half of Hunterâs challengers.â Gu Ning complimented, but her tone was ironic.
In order not to give Gu Ning any chances, Ji Anchen paid a lot of people to gamble with Hunter. Hunter didnât have any free time, while other gamblers didnât have many challengers.
After all, they were all skilled gamblers. Not many people dared to gamble with them. They mainly play the game with each other on the same level.
When Gu Ning said that, everyone suddenly realized it wasnât right. Hunter indeed had many more challengers than other gamblers, but they couldnât figure out the reason.
Most people had no idea about that, while some were aware of that.
Hunter did it simply to avoid gambling with Tang Aining because Hunter had promised to have a big bet with her, but he had lost twice to her. Therefore, Hunter was scared this time and didnât dare to gamble with her again.
Because he was afraid that Tang Aining would come to challenge him, he paid those people to occupy his time so that he didnât have enough time to gamble with Tang Aining.
Knowing that, they showed obvious disdain for Hunter. They were surprised that Hunter would be so timid.
They could understand it, because no gambler could defeat Tang Aining, and Hunter was merely trying to save his face. However, it didnât mean they would stop disdaining him. After all, they enjoyed making fun of each other.
Peers were competitors, and they were from different countries.
Hunter was immediately mad. Gu Ning made it very clear that she knew he had paid those people to occupy his time in order to avoid gambling with her.
Once she said it aloud, everyone learned about his purpose, so Hunter felt quite humiliated. He hated Gu Ning more than ever now.
âRight, Hunter is so popular. I feel Iâm barely comparable to you.â
At this time, Lucas opened his mouth as well. Although he seemed to be envious of Hunter, his tone showed that he was simply mocking Hunter.
Hunter was popular? Absolutely not! He was barely comparable to him? He was actually just gloating over Hunterâs failure.
Hunter had stopped him and questioned him unkindly the other day, and Lucas didnât forget that. Although he wasnât determined to take revenge, he wouldnât miss any chances to embarrass Hunter.
Most importantly, there were old grudges between them in addition to the argument they had last time. Therefore, they werenât bitter enemies, but they didnât have a good relationship.
âYouâŠâ Hunter glared at Lucas, because Luca laughed at him when he was down. It was hateful. However, he didnât know how to argue against that, because his secret was exposed. Everyone now learned why he was busy accepting challenges.
âItâs my own business, not yours!â Hunter gritted his teeth. He felt he had the worst luck today. In the past, he was always the idol of other gamblers whenever he showed up at gambling competitions, but this time he was greatly humiliated.
âWeâre not interfering. Weâre complimenting you!â said Gu Ning. She acted innocent, as if Hunter had misunderstood her.
However, everyone knew that she did it on purpose, but they had no bad impression of her. It was Hunterâs fault after all, while Gu Ningâs abilities had already impressed many people, so they chose to side with her.
âMiss Tang, I donât know when Iâve offended you. Why do you have to pick on me again and again?â Hunter angrily complained.
He didnât think that Gu Ning knew that he had paid a killer to assassinate her, so he couldnât understand why she couldnât let him go. He had simply said to her that she was very confident and that he wanted to have a big bet when they gambled with each other. It wasnât very offensive. Was she so intolerant? She wouldnât let him go just because he had said something unkind to her?
âHunter, you havenât offended me. And Iâm not picking on you again and again. Hunter, itâs you who said to have a big bet when we gamble with each other, so Iâm just reminding you,â said Gu Ning on purpose.
âI donât want to gamble with you now. So?â Hunter said. He didnât want to humiliate himself in public again, so he didnât bother to hide his real thoughts now.
âHunter, since you have no intention of gambling with me, I think you better not say it aloud when you arenât prepared. You canât keep your promise. Itâs just a waste of my time!â said Gu Ning, but she actually wasnât mad.
Anyway, everyone was aware that Hunter avoided gambling with Gu Ning because he was scared of her.
Hunter had been greatly humiliated, so Gu Ning stopped embarrassing him. After all, her real purpose wasnât just to humiliate him.
Hunter was mad and was unwilling to accept it, but he could do nothing about it. Anyway, Tang Aining walked away, so he could feel relieved.
He gambled with other people simply to avoid gambling with Tang Aining. Since she left now, he wanted to stop acting, so he quit and went to rest in the lounge.
Gradually, nobody paid special attention to Hunter.
Ji Anchen witnessed everything. He put on a resigned face, but couldnât help Hunter. It was Hunter who was too self-satisfied, and challenged Tang Aining at their first meeting.
Although he also refused to believe Tang Aining could be so good at gambling, he had reminded Hunter to take her seriously. After all, she had defeated many top gamblers in City Ao.
Hidesuke Ida was also worried that Gu Ning might come to gamble with him. Anyway, on the first day, he had challenged her as well, so he stayed far away from her in case she noticed him.
