008 Killed
The moment the gunshots were heard, many guests who had come to the banquet ran into the house in a panic.
Seeing this, Ethan quickly pulled the corner of his coat and pulled Glock out.
He waved his hand to the guests of the house to hide, walked quickly to the backyard, and as soon as he stepped out of the house, he saw Cole Moody not far from him, holding a revolver aimed at Procott across the pool.
"Bang" was another gunshot, which was missed, and the dishes on the table next to Procott were blown open and scattered to the ground.
Procott remained motionless, looking at Cole with a grim face.
Cole drunkenly shouted, "Damn German hillbilly, you knocked my teeth out, and today I want your life." ”
I saw that Cole's face was scarred, most of the teeth in his mouth were missing, and when he spoke, saliva splashed out of his mouth from time to time.
"Cole, I warn you, put the gun down immediately."
Ethan stepped forward and aimed his gun at Cole, warning him.
"Fayu" Cole saw Ethan appearing from the side, and quickly turned the muzzle.
Ethan had an alarm bell in his heart, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger and "bang, bang......"
As the gunfire erupted, Cole's body exploded with dense blood sprays.
After the magazine was emptied, Ethan stopped the finger pulling, Cole's body shook a little, and he fell into the pool with a "plop", and the moment he fell into the water, a huge blood-colored flower spread out of the pool.
At this moment, Hood, whose head was covered in blood, staggered from behind with a gun.
It wasn't until he saw Cole, who had been beaten into a hornet's nest, floating in the pool, that Hood spat on the ground in hatred and put the gun away.
Brock, Emmett, Siobhan and others, who never thought that there would be a shooting on this occasion, did not carry firearms, and seeing that Cole had been dealt with, they hurried out to maintain order at the scene.
The guests, who were hiding in various corners of the backyard, saw that the situation had subsided, and did not want to get into trouble, so they left the scene one after another.
"Sheriff, are you alright?"
Brock walked over to Hood and helped him examine the wound on his head.
"Small problem, I just went to the parking lot to get something, and I was attacked by Cole." Hood wiped the blood from his face.
"BOSS, I've called an ambulance."
"Ethan, it's all right, put the gun away."
Emmett pressed down with both hands and motioned for Ethan to take it easy, and Ethan came to his senses and put the gun back in its holster.
As the ambulance arrived, Ethan cooperated with the recording of the confession, and Hood told him to go back first.
When the matter is clear, he did not ask Ethan to hand over the gun, and if he wanted to avenge Cole, Ethan was disarmed and could only sit and wait to be killed.
However, this incident also reminded Ethan to get himself a few more guns as soon as possible to defend himself, anyway, there is space for the system, and there is no need to worry about carrying it.
After returning home, Ethan took advantage of the night to jump into the icy lake for a swim, and when the discomfort of the first killing disappeared, he stepped on the water and exhaled out of the system.
There are no surprises, no changes to the system, new tasks, new skill points, nothing.
Ethan reluctantly shut down the system, and didn't know when a new task would be triggered.
At this moment, the sound of vehicles sounded, and two pillars of light shot from outside.
Ethan quickly swam to the small dock, hid behind a large tree, and retrieved Glock from the space.
As long as he is not wearing a holster, he always puts the gun in the space for easy access at any time.
I saw a Rolls-Royce slowly pull up in front of the house, Proct got out of the car, walked up to the porch and knocked on the door.
"No need to knock, I'm here."
Ethan put the gun back into space and walked out from behind the tree empty-handed.
Proctor looked at him in surprise, but Ethan didn't care, and walked naked to the dock to pick up his clothes and put them on.
Throwing the shoes he was carrying to the door, Ethan asked Procott, "Mr. Procott, is there anything wrong with coming here so late?" ”
"Kobe steak, my best product." Proctor smiled as he handed over something wrapped in oiled paper in his hand.
"Thanks, let's come in and talk about it." Ethan took the steak, opened the door, and glanced at the driver standing next to the Rolls-Royce.
The driver, also dressed in a suit and a small bow tie, stood meticulously next to the door, and when he saw Ethan looking over, he put his fingers on his glasses and smiled at Ethan.
"This is my assistant, Borden." Procott noticed Ethan's gaze: "Just let him wait outside, it doesn't matter." ”
After coming to the living room and putting the steak in the refrigerator, Ethan took out a bottle of bourbon from the top of the wine cabinet.
"Would you like to come some?"
"Of course, thank you."
Ethan took the two glasses, sat down on the single sofa, placed the glasses on the table, unscrewed the whiskey, and poured half a glass of wine into each of them.
Proctor stopped his visit to the living room and walked over to the couch across from Ethan and sat down.
"I'm here tonight to thank you, thank you for saving my life." Procott raised his glass.
"You're welcome, I'm just doing my job."
Ethan and Procott touched their glasses and drank them all.
In his previous life, he liked to drink, but the amount of alcohol was very poor, and now that his physique has improved, the amount of alcohol is very good, and he will drink some by himself when he has nothing to do.
Procott saw Ethan drinking so much, and the glass that was brought to his lips paused.
"It's okay, you drink slowly."
Ethan didn't like to force people to drink, and he continued to pour tawny liquor into his glass.
Unexpectedly, Procott was not ambiguous at all, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Ethan raised his brow and threw Procott a cigarette to suppress his alcohol.
"Anyway, I owe you a favor."
Ethan smoked a cigarette and didn't speak.
"I'm sure someone else should have mentioned my name to you, and for a number of reasons, many people in our town would love to see me fall, including our young mayor."
"Why do you think so?" Ethan asked casually.
"I don't deny that some people think my business activities are aggressive." Procott paused and continued, "Hopefully it won't affect what you think of me. ”
"I don't think you care what I think of you," Ethan tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.
"You're right, to be honest I don't care what anyone thinks of me, I just hope we don't go down the path of opposites."
"After all, I have a good relationship with your father, you know? I gave it to your father. ”
Ethan followed Procott's gaze to the deer's head hanging above the fireplace, which he hadn't expected.
"Having said that, I'm here to remind you, be careful of the Moody brothers, although they are all stupid, but I have to admit that their brothers are still very united."
"If you kill Cole, they will definitely seek revenge on you."
Ethan was quietly drinking alone, and Procott had already left.
The Moody brothers' revenge was expected by him, and he had to find a way to do it, and he couldn't sit still.
