Chapter 604 - Mountain Hunting



Chapter 604: Mountain Hunting

Laurent really wanted to slap himself.

How could he be so cheap?

He was simply looking for trouble.

Bang, bang—

Tiger smacked his gloves against each other. “Come, again, use your strength.”

“Tiger, Laurent is old. Don’t kill him.”

“Got it, Mr. Chen,” Tiger answered in the ring.

As long as you don’t kill him, you can beat him up however you want.

“Chen, I’m not training anymore!”

“I’ve already arranged the course for you. You’re quitting now? They won’t give a refund.”

Ah—

Laurent screamed in misery, while Chen Zhao still had a smile on his face.

“Tiger, continue to train with Laurent.”

Chen Zhao and Gaia exchanged looks and went to another ring.

Thud— Thud— Thud—

Soon, everyone heard low noises in the distance.

Everyone in the fitness center stopped what they were doing and gathered at the source of the noises.

There, they saw Chen Zhao and Gaia training with each other. None of them dodged and both punched their opponent’s body with their gloves.

They took turns to hit each other.

The low noises were produced when their fists landed on their opponent’s body.

All the onlookers were flabbergasted by the sight.

If any of the two were to hit someone else, the person would probably be disabled in one punch.

They only stopped when their fists were slightly injured.

The crowd opened a path and allowed the two to pass.

“What’s the progress on that treasure?”

“Someone is translating the nautical dairy at the moment. I think he still needs more time.”

“Are you sure the translator won’t disclose the information?”

“Ha… You’re worrying too much. Even if he tells everyone around him what he’s translated, it won’t matter.”

Laurent staggered toward Chen Zhao and Gaia and collapsed before them.

“I… I’m dying…”

“Do we need to send him to the hospital?”

“No, he won’t die.”

Chen Zhao squatted down in front of Laurent. “If you don’t get up, I’ll ask Tiger to spend ten more minutes training with you.”

The sentence was like an elixir. Laurent indeed stood up at once.

When Fali returned home at night, she saw the injuries on Laurent’s face.

“Chen, did you two have a fight?”

But after she gave it a second thought, she knew it was probably not the case.

If the two of them really fought, Chen Zhao could have killed Laurent.

“He wanted to train his muscles, so I brought him to Gaia.”

“Dad, why do you want to train?”

“Forget it, it’s already over.”

Laurent felt like crying. He did not want to talk about it.

Fali suddenly had an idea. “Why don’t we go hunting?”

Cough, cough—

Whenever Chen Zhao thought about the hunting experience he had with Risfar and Dell, he would be creeped out.

“Chen, didn’t you say last time that we’ll go hunting together?”

“But I meant together with you! Two people!” Chen Zhao turned his head. “Not three.”

“Hunting’s great. Let’s invite Karim, Howard, and Kane.”

Fali grabbed Chen Zhao’s arms and stared at Chen Zhao with watery eyes. “Can we?”

“Alright.” Given his promise earlier, Chen Zhao obviously could not reject Fali now.

All he hoped now was that Laurent would scram as soon as possible.

With such an irritating father-in-law around, he could not even be intimate with Fali.

Should I call Winnip and ask her when she’ll return?

Forget it. If she returns and comes straight to LA, we’ll have more third wheels.

The next day, Fali still went to work. Chen Zhao and the others stayed at home, preparing the equipment needed for hunting in the mountains.

At some point, Faur came. There was one more person.

Anyway, since there were already so many people, Chen Zhao would not mind one more.

He had long lost hope in having a two-person forest tour.

Chen Zhao went to Risfar’s place and borrowed a few hunting guns.

The following day, when everything was ready, the group left the house.

The wood before the house was connected to the mountain forest, so it was really convenient.

However, there weren’t any wild animals around.

Even if there had been, they would have been eaten by Princess and the rest.

Because they were hunting as a family, Chen Zhao had brought many pets with him.

Samuel had been cutely begging him, so he had to bring Samuel along.

And also Black-Ma, White-Ma, Walter, and Princess.

Even Obitos had learned to act cute like Samuel.

It was actually horrifying to see Obitos act cute. He would roll in the living room, destroying all the things in the way.

Chen Zhao was scared that should he leave Obitos at home, he would need to refurbish the house when they returned. He had to take Obitos with them.

Fortunately, Obitos was no ordinary lizard. It was difficult for Komodo dragons to move in the forest.

On the other hand, Obitos could climb a tree and run in the forest.

“Chen, help us carry some stuff.” Karim was carrying 20 kilograms of equipment.

Howard and Kane had bags of similar sizes. However, Chen Zhao continued to hold Samuel in his arms.

“I’m carrying a lot too,” Chen Zhao said. “Laurent, go and help them. Don’t you want to train your body? Try walking with weights.”

“Asshole, my belly is already a weight.”

Karim, Howard and Kane almost cried. They had been thoroughly enjoying themselves over the last few days.

They originally thought that they could play until the day they returned to Sacramento.

In the end, Laurent called them and forced them onto the mountain.

Fine, it was just hunting, which was a leisure activity too.

However, when they departed, they realized that they were not the ones hunting at all.

Laurent’s family was hunting. The three of them were here as labor.

In the end, Chen Zhao still took a bag from them. They seemed to be carrying too much indeed.

In the first hour on the mountain, they found nothing.

They did not encounter any wild animals. Chen Zhao wondered how big Black-Ma and White-Ma’s hunting radius was.

“There, Faur,” Fali called softly. She pointed at a white figure in the grass in the distance.

It was a white hare. Fali and Faur had both grown up on a farm.

Thoughts like “How can we eat rabbits? They’re so cute!” would never cross their minds.

Faur lifted the gun in a skilled and standard manner.

She held the stock against her shoulder. After aiming briefly, a gunshot was heard.

Several meters away, the hare’s head exploded at once.

“Nice!” Laurent’s face flushed. “Daughter, you’re great.”

The group took the hare and continued deeper into the mountain.

A hare was clearly insufficient for so many of them.

Very soon, however, they killed a wild goat. This was huge.

Chen Zhao envied Fali and Faur’s shooting skills very much. As for himself, he did not even load any bullets, let alone shoot.

He hoped that he would never have to shoot again. All he would receive was humiliation.

At something past one in the afternoon, the group stopped to rest. Meanwhile, they skinned and roasted the goat and the hare.

Just then, another team appeared in their sight.
