Chapter 182        Let's Bet

“I feel that Fernando Rethnor may have some paranoid personality disorder. He’s eager to be recognized and understood. However, David Lawrence has always been better than him. Hence, I believe that his current pursuit of Angie’s mother is not true love. Instead, he’s just trying to prove himself……”

After returning to Staten Island, Butcher began to chat and share his analysis on Mr. Rethnor’s personality. However, Zhou Qingfeng soon said, “Butcher, I really think you should just shut up. Can’t you just be considerate of other people's feelings sometimes?”

Zhou Qingfeng was actually referring to Angie as the little girl had been sitting in a small chair and crying non-stop for the entire duration. Although David Lawrence had joined the Brotherhood of Steel, Angie was still following Zhou Qingfeng and the others. As for now, the little girl burst into tears after hearing the news that Rachel was trapped inside Polarlys.

Zhou Qingfeng initially wanted David Lawrence back on his team to eliminate Fernando Rethnor altogether. Then, Polarlys will belong to him and Rachel will go back to David Lawrence’s side. What a wonderful plan!

However…… Life did not always turn out the way we wanted it - David Lawrence could not reconvene with Zhou Qingfeng. The latter approached the Brotherhood and Steels as he could not contact David Lawrence at all. But he did not know whether to laugh or cry after hearing the news - ‘Troublemaker’ Tony Parker had finally begun his provocative career!

Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to steal the ‘Walker’ away from Tony Parker. However, due to the existence of David Lawrence, he felt that he might need to behave himself a little bit more. During that time, Tony Parker had found some help from the people of Brotherhood and Steel for modifying his ‘Walker’. Together, they had mounted a 203 mm howitzer M1931 onto the Walker.

With the exception of slow reload time, the mortar edition of the ‘Walker’ was excellent in both offensive and defensive abilities. Tony Parker was able to demolish houses and break defense lines with ease only because he had the ‘Walker’ by his side. David Lawrence had also used it when he attacked the Bronx in northern Manhattan.

Unfortunately, after David Lawrence headed to the Bronx, everyone had lost all communication with him. All the wireless radio channels that connected to him were interrupted as well.

According to the others, Tony Parker was the one that should have been responsible for this. He controlled the ‘Walker’ remotely and he killed the only son of one of the leaders from Skull and Bones after blatantly firing several shots.

As a result, the leader, who had just lost his son, instantly went crazy and triggered a war. According to the scouts from the Brotherhood of Steel, both sides fought fiercely and they had turned blocks and blocks of buildings into a fearsome battlefield.

"Victor, please help me and save my father and mother." Zhou Qingfeng pitied Angie, especially when she pulled his shirts in tears.

"Don't worry, I’ll help you." Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself, The war zone in the Bronx is just too dangerous. I should probably keep myself away from such a place even if there’s no war going on around that area, not to mention that Tony Parker the troublemaker is there as well! Angie, your father is very awesome, so he’ll be fine. I guess I should go and save your mom first.

After telling his plan to Angie, the fifteen-year-old little girl also felt that her dad was very cool and they should not be worrying about him. Hence, she asked Zhou Qingfeng if he could prioritize saving her mother. Zhou Qingfeng agreed with her as he then went to discuss with Butcher and Lena on how to get on ‘Polarlys’ and save the woman at the same time.

“There are at least three hundred people on the ship, and all of them are professional mercenaries that are capable of doing a lot of stuff. Moreover, Fernando might be more alert this time around, which will result in tighter security. Therefore, if we want to lay our hands on this ship, we’ll need to kill Fernando and his men at the same time. Otherwise, trouble will keep coming at us,” said Zhou Qingfeng.

“Well said, but I guess you guys won’t have any chances anymore.” The sound of applause could be heard from outside the door.

Zhou Qingfeng and the others were staying in Prince Bay of Staten Island. However, just when they were having a meeting in the living room of a large house, the door to the living room suddenly opened. A bulky man in military uniform was dangling a cigar in his mouth as he entered the room.

“Fernando Rethnor!” Lena Fox was the first to scream. She quickly looked outside the window of the living room and found that several guards who were supposed to be on guard had collapsed to the ground; they had been replaced by a large group of professional mercenaries.

“Surprise, motherf*cker!” The bulky man laughed and his eyes widened with an exaggerated expression, “Look at you, how do you guys like my surprise?”

Fernando Rethnor was an adventurous and extremely high-profile man. After a few seconds, Zhou Qingfeng gradually took a step forward and stared at him coldly. He then threw a few glances at four of the windows in the living room and discovered that each window was being guarded by three men. Twelve muzzles were pointed at them and he knew that they would be dead for sure if the men outside the room fired at them.

Meanwhile, Fernando Rethnor kept stomping his feet on the ground while trembling in excitement. He threw several glances at Zhou Qingfeng and the others before laughing, “You guys have been trying to assassinate me as well as stealing my ship, along with my woman and everything, but I’m pretty sure that none of you would’ve thought of my sudden appearance, am I right?”

Fernando stopped talking for a moment, but he soon continued yelling, “All I need is a can of canned food, and I’ll be able to locate you! You guys have been planning something behind my back, but I too have something planned for you guys. I just want to know what makes you think you could challenge the great Fernando Rethnor with such a team?”

Fernando Rethnor threw a few glances into the living room once again. “Anyway, I already know who’s the mastermind behind all this stuff. Tell me now, where the f*ck is David Lawrence? I’m going to officially invite him over for the wedding of me and his wife. I want to let him know that I’m much stronger than him!”

Zhou Qingfeng was the only one amongst the others in the living room that dared to step forward and face Fernando Rethnor. Lena could only stay still as she did not have any combat abilities at all, while Butcher could only sigh as after throwing several glances at the surroundings — he too saw twelve muzzles pointed at them. He thought to himself: We won’t even stand a chance if they opened fire now… seems like capturing Fernando Rethnor as our hostage will be our only chance!

Even though Fernando had entered the living room, Zhou Qingfeng, who was standing closest to him, was still four to five meters away from him. Fortunately, it seemed that Zhou Qingfeng was still in the range to capture Fernando as their hostage. The only thing he felt uncertain about was that if he were to capture Fernando, the other men might begin to fire their shots at them!

“He’s just a useless bastard. It seems like the twelve men at the windows are his only defense. He must be thinking that since we can’t deal with twelve men at once, we won’t dare to do anything to him!”

Fernando Rethnor did not get any reply after ‘David Lawrence’ several times. Therefore, he switched his attention to Zhou Qingfeng, “So, you’re Victor Hugo, the man who saved Allen Derrick and plan to steal the ‘Polarlys’ away from me? What makes you think that you will succeed? Is it because of the two Colt Pythons that are hanging around on your waist?

“Kid, stop staring at me, for all your attempts will be useless! A revolver is known to depend heavily on the user’s speed, and there’s no way that you’re a rapid gunner. Just draw your gun if you dare. I would love to see who’s faster… Will it be you, or my twelve men!”

Fernando Rethnor then pointed his finger at Zhou Qingfeng and yelled arrogantly, “Victor Hugo, I’ll stand here and bet on my life with you. I bet that your drawing speed will not be quick enough!”

So be it… I’ll take that bet!
