Chapter 312: Kill Him!
Now, this was enticing. At least, as compared to the previous times that Ethan had asked them to do something, this time, he was willing to give them a reward.
While Michael had a gun on him, at this moment, most of the men that were surrounding Michael and the rest of the group were willing to take the risk.
If they did attack Michael, and he shot them, it would be deadly. On the other hand, if they did not obey Ethan, and something happened to him, they would end up dead anyway.
And more than that, their families would also be involved in this, which was even worse than they themselves dying. Therefore, they thought that it was much better to do something here, which could be rewarded, instead of risking losing not only themselves, but their families as well.
So, the moment that Ethan finished speaking, the closest guy immediately charged at Michael, just about two seconds later.
This guy, he was thinking about the money. As long as he could break as many bones on Michael’s body as compared to any other person, he would receive a big reward.
Just the thought of this made him excited that he completely ignored the fact that Michael had a gun on him. And if he intended to shoot, the first person to charge over would be the one targeted.
And as expected, or not anticipated by most within the shooting range, it happened.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three consecutive gunshots rang in the air, followed by three people collapsing on the ground, and just a few seconds later, screams echoed in the air.
At this moment, those that had been thinking about what they would do with the money that would be given to them, suddenly froze.
Who would have thought this would happen?
Even if Michael really was going to shoot, they thought that he would shoot blindly, and maybe some bullets might even miss the target.
They were after all not standing together, instead, they were dispersed, surrounding Michael and his group.
But now, looking at the three people who had collapsed on the ground, screaming, they suddenly realized that things had taken a different turn.
Looking at the three of them, they were all clutching their thighs that had already began bleeding. And to make matters worse, each one of them was holding the left thigh, and at an almost exact spot of the thigh.
Alex did not have much of a reaction to this. In fact, even before Michael pulled the trigger, he had already anticipated that something like this would happen.
Buck when his sister Melvin was kidnapped, it was Michael who had rescued her. And when she came back, she told him exactly what had happened there.
So of course, he knew that Michael had used a gun at the abandoned factory, showing his decisiveness. Therefore, facing this group, since Michael had said that he would shoot, he definitely would.
This was why he was not surprised at all by what happened the moment that the group began charging at Michael. As for the issue with those guys being shot on the same leg, same spot, it was clear that this was Michael demonstrating his skills.
And, Alex was left amazed. It was a completely different thing between shooting a target, even if it was moving, but it was inanimate, and shooting a live target.
As for Raymond and the rest of the group, they had not anticipated that Michael would be this decisive. But even then, they did not think much about it, feeling that this was to be expected.
Though, most of them questioned themselves, would they really be able to do what Michael had done? Even if they had the ability of doing it, would they really have the courage of shooting?
And the answer was no. For most of them, they could hit someone, but when it came to shooting, most of them did not have the courage.
They might come to the shooting range to compete and show off their skills, but that was different from shooting someone.
Ethan on the other hand looked at Michael with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He had not anticipated that Michael would actually shoot.
He did not pay much attention to the state of the three guys on the ground, therefore, he did not notice the skill involved in the shooting.
But of course, he realized that Michael was quite skilled when it came to using the gun. It was no wonder that he was here in the shooting range.
But so what? Even if he was so good at using the gun, would he be able to shoot at all the men that he had brought with him, if they attacked him at once?
Ethan did not believe that, therefore, he looked at the group of men that was obviously scared and said, "Whoever text that gun from him, I will reward them with $10,000!"
Unexpectedly, despite him mentioning such an amount of money, nobody reacted. This made him frown, as he felt things getting out of hand.
At the same time, unknowingly, his back was already drenched in sweat, as a chill spread throughout his body.
"What are you waiting for?! Get the f*ck going and beat up this kid for me! Whoever hits him first will be rewarded with $100,000! As for whoever hesita-"
Bang!
"Aaargh!"
Ethan was suddenly interrupted by a gunshot, and after a moment of pause, he suddenly collapsed onto the ground, screaming.
Previously, when he was talking, he was animatedly waving his hands around, just to show how worked up he was.
But as he was still in the middle of his speech, Michael suddenly pulled the trigger, shooting his right hand, with the bullet going directly through the wrist.
His wrist jerked violently as if struck by a hammer. For a fraction of a second, there was only shock, as his hand snapped back with fingers twitching, refusing to obey.
But in the next second, the pain struck. Considering that the wrist has many nerves and bones close together, it produced sharp, severe pain very quickly.
Therefore, Ethan collapsed onto the ground, his eyes wide as he stared at his hand, as he screamed from the intense pain.
Blood spilled almost immediately, running over his skin and dripped from his fingertips.
The wrist was torn open where the bullet had passed, with the flesh split and ragged, swelling already beginning beneath the skin.
A small hole marked the entry, but the surrounding area was red, and slick, as if the skin had been ripped from the inside.
At this moment, he no longer cared about what happened to Michael. Instead, he was just in disbelief, not understanding what had happened.
He had never ever dreamed that there was going to be a day that he would be in this situation. He was always done that dominated others, seeing them screaming from the pain.
He had killed quite a number of people, after torturing them by shooting them quite a number of times. But this time, finally experiencing the pain, he regretted it.
If he had known that this would happen, he would never have come to confront Michael. Instead, he should have just hired a hitman, so that Michael could be killed.
Thereafter, he could have found other methods that he could have used in order to acquire sky technologies. But now, he had ended up being injured to this extent just because of a small company?
As those thoughts appeared in his mind, he did not stop screaming. But even then, he was already thinking about what he was going to do after he was taken to the hospital.
As soon as he got out of here, he would make sure that Michael paid. How dare he shoot him? And, looking at the injury, there was a high probability that he was going to lose his hand.
Even if the hand was not amputated, there was a possibility that it might stop functioning, or he would become a cripple.
Just the thought of that was maddening to him, to the extent that he really felt that he wanted to tear Michael to pieces. At this point, his eyes had already turned red from the madness in his mind.
Without any consideration, he shouted, his voice hoarse, "Kill him! F*cking kill him! Get a gun from the car and f*cking kill him!"
Unexpectedly, Ethan and the rest of the group had actually come over with guns. But because he thought that he might not need them, he decided not to bring them into the shooting range.
Back in the capital, he had visited quite a number of shooting ranges, and he of course knew about the security measures in place. If he suddenly entered, and the alarms went off, who would believe that he was there to negotiate?
So, he asked his men to leave their weapons in the car, but now, this was haunting him. If he had known, he would not have bothered with that. Upon arrival, he should have just beaten up Michael, or even shot him dead!
Immediately after shouting those words, Ethan did not focus on the group of men. Instead, he tried using his left hand, trying to stop the bleeding.
Unfortunately, the blood continuously spilled through his fingers, making his efforts useless.
While he was still trying to stop the bleeding, he was suddenly dumbfounded by what happened next, making him extremely mad that he wanted to kill someone.
