Chapter 254: The Final Round

Goldie waddled back into the house at nightfall.

Flamy swallowed a huge, fat fish from its bucket in one gulp and frowned at Goldie. For some reason, the duck seemed awfully weary.

Goldie plopped down on the ground and stared lifelessly at the food in front of it.

I'm such a dunderhead.

Goldie could feel tears welling up in its eyes. However, it knew that it had to stay strong. Big ducks don't cry, it reminded itself.

Gao Peng decided not to pay Goldie any mind for now. He had already let the duck keep the winnings for his bet on Zhang Yi. Instead of doing the sensible thing, like saving the money for a rainy day, it had gone behind his back and blown all of its money on a losing bet.

"Serves you right!" muttered Gao Peng.

Goldie tearfully looked at Gao Peng, as if it was expecting a word of consolation from him. When it heard what he said, it nearly burst into tears.
