“Of course, we dare!” Wyatt and Levi exchanged a glance and agreed immediately.
“I have no problem either,” Zachary said with a mischievous smile. He dragged a chair over and sat down, blocking Xavier in the process. He picked up the drink menu and began to browse. “What do you want to drink?”
“Anything, I’m fine with whatever,” Leo replied with a smile.
“Do you dare to mix?” Zachary sneered.
“Sure, make it as strong as you want,” Leo maintained his smile.
Xavier felt his vision darken. Brother Leon was practically pushing him into the fire pit.
He quickly grabbed Leo’s arm and whispered bitterly, “Brother Leon, I can’t hold my liquor.”
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Leo reassured him with a smile.
“…” Xavier was speechless.
You’re here, but you’re not the one drinking!
Thinking of his delicate girlfriend, Xavier felt like crying. “Brother, you’re killing me. If my girlfriend ends up with someone else, I’ll never show my face in the capital again.”
“Do you trust me?” Leo asked with a smile.
“Leon, even if I trust you, my drinking capacity won’t improve,” Xavier replied helplessly.
“Just answer me, do you trust me?”
“I… guess?” Xavier stammered uncertainly.
“Then that’s settled. Drink! Drink them under the table! If you manage that, you’ll be their boss from now on!” Leo said cheerfully.
Leo spoke loudly on purpose, causing Zachary and the others to sneer mockingly.
“Xavier wants to be our boss? He’s still wet behind the ears!”
“If he could hold his liquor in his next life, maybe he’d have a chance!”
Zachary and Xavier were among the four notorious wastrels of the capital, the youngest of their respective families’ third generation.
Among them, Xavier and Zachary were the hardest to deal with; they almost always ended up hurting each other whenever they met.
“Damn it, I could easily lead you three losers!” Xavier cursed defiantly.
“Talk is cheap. Drink us under the table first,” Zachary scoffed.
“If we win, do we get to play with your girlfriend too?” Wyatt suddenly asked excitedly.
Though they were never short of beautiful women, the thrill of cuckolding someone, especially Master Xavier of the Bloomer family, was exhilarating.
“Sure, of course,” Leo agreed before Xavier could speak.
Xavier felt the world spinning and almost fainted. Brother Leon was digging his grave.
“To make sure you lose fair and square, you’ll take turns drinking with Xavier. If Xavier passes out, he loses. If all three of you pass out, you lose.”
“As for who goes first among you three, that’s up to you.”
Leo showed no sympathy for Xavier’s plight, speaking as if it were no big deal.
“Really?!” Wyatt and Levi were so excited they almost jumped up.
This was perfect; Xavier would probably pass out before it was even their turn to drink.
Xavier was already in tears, gripping Leo’s arm tightly. “Brother Leon, I know I was wrong to hit on your girl that night.”
“But I’ve reflected deeply. You can’t do this to me…”
“Xavier, trust me,” Leo said solemnly, patting his wrist reassuringly.
“Haha, no wonder Xavier calls him Brother Leon. Idiot meets idiot,” Wyatt whispered to Levi.
“Shh, keep it down. What if they change their minds?” Levi quickly patted Wyatt’s leg.
“But we have to make this bet fair. Zachary, if you win, you can sleep with Xavier’s girlfriend.”
“But if you lose, does that mean Xavier gets to sleep with your girlfriends?” Leo asked with a smile.
“This…” Wyatt and Levi hesitated. The thought of their girlfriends being with someone else made them uncomfortable.
“Of course. Why are you hesitating? He won’t outdrink us anyway,” Zachary snapped at them.
“Right, of course. As long as you don’t back out,” Wyatt and Levi quickly agreed.
“To prevent any backtracking, let’s put it in writing,” Leo suggested, not trusting these playboys’ word.
“Yes, yes, we need it in writing. Otherwise, Xavier might cheat!” Wyatt and Levi nodded eagerly and called for a waiter to bring paper and ink.
Zachary agreed without hesitation.
Xavier was already resigned to his fate. After everyone had pressed their fingerprints onto the agreement, he numbly did the same.
“Zachary, your drinks have arrived,” the manager said as he walked in with several bottles of black vodka and Budweiser, along with some ice cubes.
“Take a look at these drinks,” Zachary signaled to Xavier to inspect the bottles on the table.
Xavier picked one up and his face changed dramatically. “Eighty percent alcohol? Are you trying to kill us?”
“We’ll mix it with beer. How about it? Do you dare?” Zachary taunted.
“Dare? Of course! Today I’ll show you what real drinking capacity looks like.”
Leo picked up a bottle of vodka and examined it. It was a special Scottish distilled vodka containing liver-protecting herbs like elderflower and milk thistle, with an alcohol content of 80. 8%.
Xavier didn’t even have the strength to cry anymore. Brother Leon was the only one who believed in him!
Zachary prepared several 300ml glasses, mixing half beer and half vodka.
The smell of alcohol filled the room, almost choking them just from the scent.
“Let’s go.” Zachary picked up a glass and started drinking in big gulps.
Xavier looked miserable but didn’t move. Leo immediately picked up a glass and brought it to his mouth. “Xavier, show them what you’ve got.”
No one noticed that before handing him the glass, Leo discreetly dropped a pill into it.
The pill dissolved instantly in the liquid without leaving any trace.
The pill was called Qingfeng Pill, a detoxifying spirit medicine crafted by Leo.
It also had miraculous effects on preventing drunkenness.
With this pill, Xavier could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
