"Alright, dont get ahead of ourselves, you only hit it once. Who knows if that was just a fluke?" The leader, putting on a serious air, said, "Lets see if you can stop Big White first."
Billys skills were no joke; he was ready to show them all. "Hand them over..."
"What?"
"The pearls!" With a mischievous grin, Billy switched back to using a stone, aiming for Big White. Crackle, pop, each throw was accurate, and the robots head sparked and crackled. The other kids, catching Billys enthusiasm and not as accurate with their throws, still joined in, their pearls scattering across the grounds.
"Haha, this is so much fun! Weve never had the upper hand with Big White like this before!"
You guys are the ones who came to Big Whites turf to mess with him, and now youre complaining about him bullying you? Billy thought, his expression a mix of amusement and disbelief. But hey, as long as they were happy spending their money, who was he to judge?
Despite the numbers, and especially with Billys more powerful throws, after a large rock hit the wire, Big White sparked, crackled, and emitted a puff of black smoke before finally shutting down.
"Yes, it stopped, Big White stopped..." The kids cheered.
"Dee... Dee..." A shrill alarm sounded from the manor.
"Uh-oh, someones coming, lets get out of here..." The children scattered in a panic.
"Hey, what about the pearls... You bunch of cowards!" Billy stood by the gate, watching as everyone fled, and couldnt help but mutter to himself, a bunch of cowards, theres no one around!
His round eyes shifted, focusing on the pearls scattered across the grounds, unable to look away.
The promised bets, those unreliable guys had already left, so these pearls might as well be considered compensation for him. Things that fell to the ground, not picking them up would be a waste, especially since... his eyes fixed on Big Whites belly, Billys eyes gleamed with avarice. This guy had swallowed quite a few pearls!
His mom worked so hard to put a down payment on a house in Longbourn, these pearls could buy a car, and if he let this money slip away, even the God of Wealth wouldnt forgive him!
God of Wealth, bless your follower to triumph!
Billys eyes crinkled into a smile as he looked at the two-meter-high decorative iron gate, rubbing his hands together, his eyes gleaming red with the prospect of wealth...
His hands grasped the iron gate, his legs kicked and hooked onto it, pulling himself up with all his might, climbing like a squirrel until he reached the top.
"Rich people are so pretentious, even installing gates comes with these extra spikes..." Muttering to himself, Billy carefully flipped over, grabbed the iron bars, and slipped into the estate with the agility of a monkey.
One, two, three, four... all mine!
Picking up the scattered pearls and pocketing them, Billys gaze shifted to Big Whites belly, his mind racing, "You wont need these, will you, Big White? Its better to give them to me for breakfast. Ill make sure to say a prayer for you at home..."
Just as he was about to reach out, his overalls were grabbed from behind, lifting him off the ground and leaving him dangling in mid-air...
