Chapter 567 - 567 Confused

567 Confused
Upon hearing this, the three girls were a little confused. They looked at Ye Xuan, who was seven or eight years old, and then at the sisters, as if they didn’t understand their actions.
However, the sisters didn’t explain anything. Ye Xuan already had this intention, so he jumped down from his sister’s arms and walked valiantly to a billiard table. He spoke to the middle-aged white man who was sitting on the sofa and drinking.
“Come, do you want to play a round?”
When the middle-aged Caucasian heard this, he spat out the whiskey in his mouth. Then, he wiped his mouth and suddenly smiled at Ye Xuan.
“What? You? Do you want to play this with me? Do you want to play billiards? Little kid, how old are you today? This is not a place for children to play. You should go to the amusement park.”
Ye Xuan smiled when he heard this. Without hesitation, he took out a stack of 20,000 dollars that he had exchanged at the bank and slapped it on the billiard table. Then, he raised his eyebrows at the middle-aged Caucasian man and reiterated.
“Why? You’re not afraid of me, are you?”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Caucasian man couldn’t sit still anymore. He put down his wine glass, picked up his billiard cue, stood up, and walked to the pool table. He smiled and spoke.
“If you want to give me money, it’s not like I can’t accept it. Come on, since you’re so young, you can start first.”
With that said, he looked at the surrounding people and shouted.
“Let’s place our bets!! Today, we’re going against a little brat who’s drinking milk. This is definitely the biggest show in the history of the club. Come, friends, let’s place our bets!! If you’re late, there won’t be any seats!”
This middle-aged Caucasian man would only win more after the final victory if the spectators betted. Therefore, he used the gimmick of facing a brat to get everyone to start betting.
However, this gimmick was indeed very effective. When the surrounding people who were watching the tournament heard this, they all looked over. Then, they walked over as if they were looking at something strange. They took out a stack of notes and pondered. They began to place bets on the Caucasian man and kept discussing this competition.
“Hahaha, this child is probably only seven or eight years old. Such a young child actually came here to gamble on billiards. Isn’t this because he has too much money and nowhere to spend it?”
“This time, I placed a bet of 20,000 dollars. I’m going to win big this time. I’ve played in this club for so long, but this is the first time I’ve seen a child fight. Moreover, he took out 20,000 dollars. Not bad. Those people beside him should be his sisters. They look quite rich. This Chinese person is really stupid and rich, but he’s indeed quite good-looking.”
“It’s not bad to take out tens of thousands of dollars to buy entertainment for this little brother. I have to say that he has good sisters, but I’ll accept this money. Even if a seven or eight-year-old child starts practicing billiards from birth, it’s impossible for him to defeat Kay. Kay has been here for more than ten years and almost has no opponents. It’s really rare to see someone challenge him.”
“Previously, a billiards master who played competitions came over to compete with Kay. In the end, he still lost more than 100,000 dollars and left in fear. I heard that he didn’t even go to the competition and was traumatized by Kay.”
“He’s a billiard lunatic. He deserves it. I don’t know where this brat got his confidence from, but he actually dares to challenge Kay.”
“Who cares? We just have to take the money. Haha, that fool over there actually placed a bet on the brat. Let me see. Oh my, he even placed a bet of 5,000 dollars. What a fool.”
“I know that person. He usually likes to do strange things and is called a lunatic. I didn’t expect him to be quite stupid.”
“Alright, alright. The competition has begun. Prepare to collect the money.”
At this point, the competition was about to begin. Almost 99% of the people placed their bets on Ye Xuan’s opponent, the middle-aged Caucasian man called Kay.
The remaining 1% was the only person they called a lunatic. He looked to be a white-haired old man in his fifties and wore a cowboy hat. He had bet 5,000 dollars on Ye Xuan. Seeing this scene, not only were the group of people shocked, but even Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be puzzled. He looked at him and asked.
“Why didn’t you bet on that side? Why did you bet on me? No matter how you look at it, the other party will win, right?”
“Perhaps I just like watching money flow away. Or perhaps I don’t like to collude with others? Maybe I don’t want to go with the flow? Perhaps I don’t like to be the same as others? Maybe I don’t like to follow the same pattern? Who knows, hahaha.”
The white-haired old man smiled and revealed his mouth that had a golden tooth. Then, he poured himself a mouthful of stout.
Ye Xuan didn’t quite understand what he meant. Could it be that there were really people who liked to lose money? Did they like this? That was definitely impossible. If this old man dared to bet on him, he definitely had a certain understanding and a ruthless eye. However, Ye Xuan didn’t know the exact reason.
After all, he looked like a child and had not started to show his billiard skills, so he did not know how this white-haired old man dared to do so.
However, in the next second, the answer came.
“The way you look at the balls and the way you hold the cue is very similar to Lucas Hood, a certain fictional genius billiards player. Why should I choose Kay?”
The white-haired old man spoke with a smile, but his eyes immediately revealed a cold expression. It was an extremely confident and approving attitude.
Then, he went forward and patted Ye Xuan’s shoulder. He took a sip of stout and continued.
“The taijitu[1] from China is very interesting. It’s very obvious who’s clear-headed and who’s muddled. Go.”
With that, he sat on the sofa at the side and leisurely drank his stout as he watched the match with a look of enjoyment.
Meanwhile, after hearing his words, the corners of Ye Xuan’s lips couldn’t help but curl up. He really approved of this old man.
It was indeed ridiculous to blindly follow the masses and follow the so-called truth, reality, and justice that many people recognized.
Many people felt that since others did and thought so, why didn’t they think so?
It was the same when one wore clothes. One would think that their clothes were trendy and were from big brands. Thus, they would look good and stylish in this way. They would look dignified and decent.
However, were the clothes really good-looking? Actually, many people didn’t know and even thought that the clothes were very ugly. However, there was no choice. The outside world thought so, and many people thought so, so they only had this choice. If they chose something else, it meant that they would become an anomaly in the eyes of others and would no longer be accepted.
This was a very sad thing. Furthermore, some people kept saying that others were no good. Even if they were good, others could do the same. This kind of people were the most pitiful.
There were too many people in this world who were afraid of the unknown and were weak by nature. They liked to be deceived by certain rules. They would only think that being like everyone else was the right thing to do.
