Chapter 307: Disbelief, Retreat

Michael’s word’s left everyone looking at him in shock and confusion. That was especially for Alex and the others who knew Michael.

They just could not understand why Michael would say that Jack and his group were trespassing. Did he not know that this place was owned by Max’s family?

And since Max allowed them to be here, that was definitely not considered trespassing. But from their understanding of Michael, it did not seem as though he was the type that would speak nonsense.

It was just that they found it puzzling as to why Michael would claim something like this. Still, despite their confusion, they did not say anything, just gazing at Max, waiting for his response.

“Trespassing? Are you serious? Do you even know where you are? Or do you think that you are currently in your house?” Jack retorted after he came back to his senses a few seconds later.

Immediately after he said those words, Max also spoke, “I don’t know what you are talking about, but right now, I want you to leave. If you insist on staying here, then you should not blame me for what happens next.”

At this moment, Max had already decided. From the looks of it, it was clear that it would be impossible to be able to solve this matter peacefully.

Since he could not avoid a conflict with Michael, then he had to go through with what was needed. Even if he would have to shoot at Michael, as long as this guy did not die, he did not believe that those behind him would go all out in order to deal with him.

After all, they would have to consider if they were willing to pay the price, when going after him. While he was sure that Ethan would not go all out in order to protect him, but at least, he would definitely do something.

Michael of course had already anticipated such a reaction. After all, he had just completed the purchase a few seconds before he said those words.

While facing the gun pointed at him by Max, Michael had accessed the system store, and made the purchase of Losto shooting range.

The price of this shooting range was 57 SP, which was equivalent to $5.7 million. To the current Michael, who had over 1 million SP, 57 points was just a drop in the bucket.

In this situation, he had many ways of dealing with it. But he thought, why not acquire this shooting range? At least, they could use the shooting range for training Alex and the others.

Since he had already promised that they would be trained, he would just have to purchase a few bio humans after he went back, then they would be the instructors in this shooting range.

“I think I should be the one to ask you to leave. One more thing, I believe that this shooting range is not yours, instead, it is under your father’s name.

So, why don’t you call and ask your father if this shooting range is still his?” Michael simply shrugged as he responded.

He did not seem to be phased at all, despite Max pointing the gun at him. This was something that left Max completely restless, making him unsure if he should proceed with what he was thinking about.

And upon hearing what Michael had said, he got a bad feeling about it. Still, he thought, no matter what, his father would definitely not sell this shooting range.

After all, the shooting range was something that his father had started with. This was the very first business that his father had opened, and it held great importance in his heart.

Therefore, he decided to take as if Michael was just blabbering some nonsense. Hence, he continued pointing the gun at Michael, contemplating whether to shoot or not.

On the other hand, Jack looked at Max for a moment, not sure if what Michael had said was true. But when he saw that Max did not have any reaction, he thought that Michael was just bluffing.

Since that was the case, they could definitely deal with him. Of course, he was not willing to fight Michael had on. At the moment, they could only depend on the gun, as it was the only thing that could hold Michael back.

So, while gazing at Michael, he spoke to Max, “Max, just shoot this guy. The consequences will be handled by young master Ethan. I don’t believe that this kid has a bigger background as compared to young master Ethan.”

Max simply frowned at Jack’s words, but he did not do anything. He was still unsure whether to proceed or not. Even the hand that was holding the gun was currently faintly shaking.

Just as he was in a dilemma, unsure of what to do, the phone in his pocket began vibrating. From the vibration, he could tell that it was a call.

His heart skipped a bit when he realized this. This phone that he was carrying around with him, only those close to him had the contact information of the SIM card inside this phone.

Could it be possible that the person who was calling was his father? Could it be that what Michael had said was true?

He found it hard to believe, but still, while still pointing the gun at Michael, he reached out his left hand, taking the phone from his pocket.

And when he gazed at the screen, seeing that it was his father that was calling, the intensity of his heartbeat skyrocketed. While gulping, he received the call, making sure to maintain his gaze on Michael.

“Hello, dad, is something up?” Max immediately went to the point. As it was not easy for his father to contact him when he was out.

Most of the time, in case there was something, unless it was an emergency, his father would always wait for him to return home first.

“Yeah. I just sold the shooting range. I don’t know when the new owner will be coming over, but make sure to hand over the shooting range as soon as he arrives. I have already made arrangements for you, I will tell you when you come back.” An old voice came through the phone’s earpiece, the words spoken making Max’s heart tremble.

He felt the strength inside his body disappear, and he almost dropped the phone.

He looked towards Michael, not being attention to what his father was saying, instead, he was totally confused. He just could not understand what method Michael had used in order to convince his father to sell this shooting range.

And, could it be that Michael had already bought this shooting range before he came over? Otherwise, during the short time that he was here, it was impossible for the acquisition of the shooting range to be completed.

And from the way that his father was speaking, it did not seem as though he had been forced to sell the shooting range. Instead, it seemed that he was willing to do it.

Just what kind of reason would lead to that sentimental old man to sell the shooting range, one that he had never considered selling before? It was not as though the old man had not received offers for this shooting range.

Quite a number of people were interested in the shooting range, and had offered quite some high prices for the shooting range. But no matter who it was, no matter what price they offered, the old man never agreed.

What could have happened for the old man to suddenly change his mind? After all, previously, he claimed that no matter who it was, no matter what the price they offer, he would never sell the shooting range.

This was something that he had told Max and the other family members, asking them to never sell the shooting range, no matter the reason.

“I believe that by now, you already know about it? So, don’t you think that you are trespassing?” Michael’s voice suddenly brought Max back to his senses.

At this moment, he no longer had the courage to continue pointing the gun at Michael. He did not even know that the call was still connected, and the old man’s questioning voice came through the phone’s earpiece.

But of course, with Max not paying attention to what the old man was saying, the old man’s question were met with a deaf ear.

“Just how did you do it?” Max finally gathered his courage and asked, as he stopped pointing the gun at Michael.

At this point, he realized, he definitely could not go against Michael. If Michael was capable of acquiring this shooting range, it implied that his background wasn’t simple.

It might be even above Ethan’s, and in such a situation, going against Michael would definitely be a death wish.

It was just that, going against Ethan was once again going to cause a problem. If he suddenly betrayed Ethan, that guy would definitely come looking for him.

“Don’t worry about how I acquired it. But for now, you and your men can scram. But if you insist on staying, I don’t mind dealing with you. Anyway, you can leave this idiots here, or maybe you can help us deal with them.” Michael shook his head as he responded.

Jack on the other hand had already felt that something was wrong after hearing Max’s question. It was clear, what Michael had said before was actually true.

This left him completely puzzled, but at the same time, he realized, this time, they had messed up big. Even if they were going after Alex and the group, they should never have targeted Michael.

“We are leaving. You guys, just wait. We will deal with you another time!” Decisively, he said those words while looking at Alex and the others, before he turned around to leave.
