"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?"
