Chapter 710: Sharpshooter Gaia
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing Herman’s threat to Lucas, Damon and the others couldn’t help bursting into laughter.
“Herman Walker, even your most powerful expert is no match for Mr. Gray. On what grounds are you stopping Mr. Gray?” Damon said smilingly.
Bruce mocked with a smile, “Mr. Walker, someone from your family has murdered someone, but you refuse to admit it. Mr. Gray was just helping the Watsons seek justice from you. Your man was the one who took the initiative to attack just now. But he ended up being defeated by Mr. Gray because his skills are inferior. Even though he’s dead, Mr. Gray has shown him due mercy. How can you say that Mr. Gray has gone overboard? In terms of being overboard, you Walkers are clearly the ones who have gone too far with your words and deeds!
“Yes, if you had admitted the truth just now and made a fair decision instead of putting the blame on others, Mr. Gray wouldn’t have taken the initiative to target you. Mr. Walker, don’t you agree?” Ethan said leisurely.
Many people present nodded slightly in agreement.
At least, from their perspective of the truth, the Walkers were indeed at fault.
Even though Lucas had killed Freddie in front of everyone, not a single person dared to say that he had done wrong.
As Herman listened to these voices, his face became even gloomier.
He suddenly looked at Lucas and burst out laughing. “Haha, don’t think that just because you know martial arts and you’ve defeated my subordinate Freddie, you can be condescending and ignore everything else! Even if you’re good, can you dodge bullets?”
Then he quickly signaled a skinny and pet.i.te man behind him.
The pet.i.te man immediately stepped forward and raised the black and s.h.i.+ny pistol in his hand, aiming straight at Lucas’s head.
His finger was firmly on the trigger, and as soon as Herman issued the order, he could immediately pull the trigger and take Lucas’s life!
“I know him! He’s the ‘Sharpshooter’, Gaia!” a young man suddenly exclaimed in astonishment while looking at the skinny and pet.i.te man with surprise all over his face.
Hearing this, several people in the crowd exclaimed.
“So it’s him? Gaia used to represent California in the national marksmans.h.i.+p compet.i.tion and even earned himself the t.i.tle of Sharpshooter. He has never missed a shot, and he’s indeed an impeccable marksman!”
“Oh my G.o.d. It’s Sharpshooter Gaia! I can’t believe that he’s now working for the Walkers! In that case, Lucas Gray is definitely dead meat. No matter how fast he is, he won’t be able to dodge bullets!”
The appearance of Sharpshooter Gaia sparked an uproar in the venue.
Reason being, they all knew that Sharpshooter Gaia had partic.i.p.ated in many notable tournaments before and that he was a true elite!
Someone had once said that when Gaia held a gun in hand, he was the G.o.d who dominated everything. No living being within the range of his pistol could dodge his bullets!
Gaia was obviously enjoying the commotion caused by his appearance.
Holding his gun steadily in hand, he narrowed his eyes at Lucas and said smugly, “Punk, I advise you to get on your knees, surrender, and admit your mistakes to Mr. Walker now. If you do so, you’ll perhaps still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, when I make a move, you will die without a doubt!”
After seeing the pistol in Gaia’s hand, Damon, Bruce, and Edmund, who were looking relaxed just now, all immediately tensed up.
“Herman Walker, you’d better not lay a finger on Lucas, or else, you will definitely regret it!” Edmund said furiously.
After witnessing the dodging footwork unique to the Falcon Regiment, he had already roughly guessed Lucas’s ident.i.ty in Calico.
If Herman really ordered someone to shoot Lucas, it would definitely bring disaster to the Walkers, and even the dynamics of the forces in California would drastically change!
But Herman was naturally oblivious to this.
He glanced at the tensed and exasperated Edmund and only felt some relief for all the pent up frustration within him.
“Hmph, since this punk killed my subordinate and even has the audacity to try and harm my grandson, how can I let him off so easily?
“I just want to tell everyone here, if you dare to provoke the Walkers, your only fate will be death!” Herman said confidently.
With Gaia standing beside him, Herman felt that Lucas was already a man who could die at any moment.
He definitely didn’t think that Lucas could dodge the bullets at such close range!
Sharpshooter Gaia was one of the secret trump cards that Herman had prepared.
Everyone only knew that he had the elite expert Freddie. But they didn’t know that his greatest reliance was Gaia, who rarely appeared in front of others because once Gaia struck, he would definitely shoot his target accurately. No one had ever been able to escape his bullets!
Vince, sitting in the master seat, seemed to have already expected this.
He flicked his finger without moving.
Some of the things that had happened earlier were indeed beyond his expectations, such as the Walkers being related to Dallas’s death, as well as the incredible power Lucas just displayed.
But all in all, the exchange today was still within his control.
Lucas was indeed very powerful and capable. But Vince didn’t think that Lucas would be able to dodge the bullets fired by a sharpshooter who had won several professional compet.i.tions.
Lance couldn’t adapt well, so Vince had long given him up and chose to replace him with Herman.
In the current situation, Herman was extremely ruthless, and he had even prepared a backup. He was indeed a better candidate than Lance!
If he could easily deal with the current situation and complete the tasks, Vince wouldn’t mind giving the Walkers a hand and helping them become the hegemon of California.
Of course, if Herman ended up failing too, Vince wouldn’t mind it either. He would at most just select another obedient family.
Anyway, with the power of the Smiths, they were definitely considered invincible compared to these families in California, so it didn’t matter which one they supported.
After Vince looked at all of them condescendingly, Lance, sitting at the side, had intense resentment in his eyes.
After Herman’s sudden appearance and the sounds of acknowledgment that followed, Lance understood that Vince had completely abandoned the Kingstons. They were not the ones whom the Smiths wanted to support!
When he realized this, Lance was infuriated. The Kingstons had been busy for such a long time and had always treated the Smiths as their most respected guests. They had even painstakingly s.n.a.t.c.hed the hosting rights to the Elite Business Exchange just to pave the way for the Smiths to take control of California. Yet it was all to the advantage of Herman!
Lance was enraged, and he wished he could fall out with him immediately, but he didn’t dare to.
First, the Smiths were too powerful, so he didn’t dare to offend them, and second, he couldn’t do anything else apart from obeying Vince’s instructions!
But deep down, Lance really wanted to see Lucas and the Walkers immediately fight to the death so that both parties would suffer defeat! The Kingstons would then have the chance of being used by Vince again!
Now, almost all the people present turned to look at Lucas to see what decision he would make.
Lucas stood still with his head held high. Despite facing the black muzzle, there wasn’t a single trace of panic or horror on his face. Instead, he said to Gaia calmly, “I’ll give you a chance too. If you kill Nate Walker now, I can let you off.. Otherwise, you’ll die.”
