Chapter 303: A Fruitful Hunt
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hugo’s confidence was crushed and shattered. He had not managed to hunt anything.
The moment he had first noticed a nearby animal, Li Du had already killed it with his arrows. When he had discovered a far away target, he fired first but the bullets had missed the target terribly. And when the prey had entered the range of the crossbow, there was nothing he could do but look on.
Li Du had successfully hunted ten animals in a row. Hugo gave up the challenge—he looked spiritless and ran away with his gun, obviously not his usual self.
Harris shouted, ”B*st*rd! Where are you going?”
Hugo did not say a word. He did not even turn to look back. His figure soon disappeared in their vision.
Without the chief gunman, Harris was lost.
Li Du played with the crossbow and asked, ”Hey, pal, is the match over now?”
”Don't be so confident,” Harris said stubbornly. ”It's just the beginning—”
The onlookers started to yell at him:
”Harris, are you really a Comanche? Are the Comanche full of cowards like you?”
”You’ve lost, just admit it. It's such a disgrace.”
”There’s nothing more to see. Li’s incredible—the best marksman I’ve ever seen!”
Harris might have been thick-skinned, but he was not entirely shameless.
Having lost the bet, he was too ashamed to stay here. However, he was most ashamed about Hugo, and felt disgraced for choosing a gunman like him.
Listening to all the taunt and ridicule, he spat angrily and said in a flustered and exasperated manner, ”D*mn it! You’ve messed with us! This matter is not finished. You’ll pay for this in the future!”
Li Du waved his hand casually and said, ”I’ll wait for you, anytime.”
Harris and the group of Native Americans fled the scene. Martin and his friends cheered in joy, hugged and high-fived each other as if they were victorious from a battle.
Li Du smiled and watched them celebrate. ”What I did say earlier?” asked Li Du. ”Just believe in me. The matter can be settled.”
”You’re truly awesome out there,” exclaimed Terry. ”Why’s your shot so remarkably good?”
”Because he's a genius,” Hans chimed in. ”No matter what Li does, if he wants to do it, he will.”
”Lil’ Sophie found a wonderful friend,” someone said to Martin.
Martin laughed heartily at the remark. ”God bless.”
Li Du got Big Quinn to carry the deer and wanted to leave.
Martin asked, ”Where are you going?”
Li Du said, ”Now that the matter’s settled and the weather’s cooled down, we want to explore for a while more.”
”Come, stay for some beer,” Terry invited. ”Let’s get enjoy ourselves.”
Li Du smiled and explained, ”After going through this incident, I believe all of you must be exhausted and might want to have a private chat. I feel that you might need some space for privacy.”
The small group of old fellows gave their thumbs-up to Li. Their expressions were full of fondness for the young man in front of them.
Li Du was familiar with the Chinese saying ”know when to stop.” He should not be together with the group for too long. He did not want to let them fully understand his situation. He had to leave an inscrutable impression.
The four of them left with the chickens, ducks, rabbits and deer hunted by Li. They went back to keep and pack the picnic cloth and tableware before trekking uphill again.
While on the way, Big Quinn held onto the stacks of bills and said in an uneasy tone, ”Boss, this money...”
Li Du took a glance and said, ”It’s a bonus for you two, just take it.”
