Nancy suddenly had interest, "Sure, tell me about it."
Ben chuckled mischievously. When he was about to speak, he suddenly felt two cold gazes on his face.
He was scared and quickly turned away.
Nancy turned her head and saw Charlie's warning gaze. It seemed that Vivian wasn’t wrong in saying that Charlie didn't like women.
"We've arrived. This is it."
Ben pointed to a beautifully crafted pool table, glancing at Charlie, "Haven't played in years, right? Want to have a round?"
Charlie raised an eyebrow, extended his arm, and immediately someone respectfully handed him a pool cue, "It seems that I haven't made you fail in years, and you're longing for it."
"Hey!"
Ben picked up his own special pool cue and argued, "Young Master Firth, le me tell you, in the years you've been gone, I've been practicing every day. I’ve been waiting for you to come back, so I can cleanse myself of my past shame. Today, I'll let you witness the power of the Pool Prince of City Nustin firsthand!"
Charlie smiled and raised his eyebrow, "Even if your father, the Pool King of City Nustin, is here, I’ll still crush you!"
"Well, let's give it a try!"
Ben raised his chin defiantly, "As usual, 10,000 dollars per round!"
10,000 dollars per round!?
Nancy's eyes lit up instantly. She excitedly grabbed Charlie's arm, "Betting on pool? I’m in."
"You?"
Charlie set the pool cue on the ground, looking at Nancy with confusion, "You can also play pool?"
Nancy blinked her eyes and smiled confidently, "Certainly."
"Well, not bad!"
