“However, Mr. Bucham has traveled a long way and is a guest. Brother, you must also grant Mr. Bucham three moves.” Kenneth, feeling as confident as Kendrick, was certain he would win. Although the total bet on Kiera’s side was relatively small—just over $900—it was still better than nothing. Julian smiled and replied, “That’s not necessary. Kendrick and I are simply competing; we don’t need to go to such lengths. There’s no need for Kendrick to give me three moves.” Julian then asked, “Kiera, how much did you both wager?” Kiera opened her palms, revealing the more than $900 she held. She smiled and said, “That’s all. Silas and I have all the cash. Julian, you’ll need to use all your true skills to try to defeat my eldest brother so we can finally win.” “Every time someone challenges my eldest brother, everyone bets on him to win. It’s not exciting at all, and there are never any surprises. Just give us a surprise. If you beat my eldest brother and spend some time on a business trip in Yonsburg, I’ll prepare delicious food for you every day and help you gain a few pounds.” Julian smiled and replied, “I’m not sure how good you are at keeping such promises. I’m already overweight and don’t look great.” “It’s not obvious how many pounds you’ve gained. You’re so tall that it’s hard to tell if you’ve put on a few pounds. Besides, you’re a bit thin right now. If you gain a few pounds, you’ll have a standard male model figure. I’ll make sure you return to Wiltspoon where you can charm a whole class of girls, and there will be a long line of girls wanting to marry you.” Julian smiled: “That sounds appealing; I’ll do my best.” As he said this, he pulled out his wallet, took out all his cash, walked up to Kendrick, and handed the money to him with a smile, saying, “Brother, I’d like to deposit this with you.” Kendrick smiled back and said, “Julian, don’t you even have confidence in

“Yourself?” Kendrick asked with a smile, his hands moving swiftly as he collected Julian’s money, which was estimated to be several thousand dollars. Julian responded, “I believe your bet is too small. If Kiera wins, it will only yield a few thousand dollars. If I increase my bet, it will surpass $10,000, which would make Kiera and the others very happy.” Winning over $10,000 in one go could bring Kiera immense joy. Julian was aware that Kiera didn’t have much in savings. Last time, when she took her children to Wiltspoon for a competition, staying at the Wiltspoon Hotel had cost her a significant amount. She mentioned that after covering her monthly expenses, she barely had any money left. The Caron family wasn’t lacking in finances, but Mr. and Mrs. Caron instilled in their children that all the family’s money was earned by their parents; it was their parents’ money, not theirs. If they wanted money, they needed to earn it themselves. Kiera and her two brothers had never considered inheriting or dividing the family wealth.

Julian’s comments left Kendrick speechless. After a moment, Kendrick chuckled and said, “Why do I feel like I’ve just eaten dog food?” Julian replied, “Kiera is my savior. I can’t let my savior lose money for supporting me.” Kendrick shot back, “No matter how well you speak, you can’t win more than ten thousand dollars. Come on, let’s help you cheer! Come on, everyone, step aside and let your coach compete with Mr. Bucham from Wiltspoon.” “It’s just a competition; let’s keep it safe,” Julian said as he stepped off the stage. He hugged Kendrick, adding, “Kendrick, I hope you will show mercy later.” This drew laughter from everyone around.
