A Man Like None Other Chapter 169
When Jared saw Xavier aiming that gun at him, a mocking smile played on his l*ps. Seeing that Jared was not afraid at all, Xavier roared furiously, “I’ll really shoot! The moment I pull the trigger, you’d be lying in a pool of blood instantly.” “Shoot, then. Your hand is trembling so much that you probably can’t aim well, right? Why don’t I move closer so that it’s easier for you to aim?” Jared even inched closer to Xavier so that he could get closer to the gun. Xavier flushed in fury when he saw Jared’s reaction. “Jared, I will actually shoot. If you leave Horington now, I might still spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.” Xavier’s face was completely red.
He had never killed anyone, let alone shot someone with a gun. He had a*sembled this gun after buying the individual parts. When he was overseas, he used to have a fascination for guns. After returning to home country where guns were strictly regulated, he had secretly a*sembled one. Despite liking guns, he had never shot or killed someone. Xavier was trying his best to control himself, but his hands kept trembling. Looking at Xavier, Jared sneered, “Someone like you won’t even dare to kill a chicken, let alone a human.” “Don’t force me.
I’ll actually shoot!” Xavier’s head was beaded with sweat. Although he had already made up his mind, he was still overcome with anxiety when the moment came. “If you put down the gun now, I might stiil spare your life. If you shoot, you’ll definitely die.” A cold expression crossed Jared’s face as he uttered those words. “What nonsense are you talking about? I can shoot you right now and flee overseas. No one can do anything about it!” Xavier did not believe Jared. Since the gun was in his hands, he reckoned that he had everything under control. “If you don’t believe me, just go ahead and shoot me!” Jared suddenly raised his volume, shocking Xavier. As he was taken aback, the trigger of the gun was pulled automatically. Bang! With a loud gunshot and sparks flying out of the gun muzzle, a bullet came shooting out. Xavier was surprised. He had pulled the trigger in a moment of panic before he could prepare himself. Jared clenched his fist in the air and grabbed the bullet. Since his hand was surrounded by spiritual energy, the bullet could not harm him at all. He spread his fingers slowly, revealing the golden bullet. Did he just catch that bullet with his bare hand?
Xavier was dumbfounded. The gun slid out of his hands and landed on the ground. “I said that if you shoot, you’ll be the one dead.” As Jared spoke, he was exuding a terrifying and murderous aura, which made Xavier tremble involuntarily Feeling the strong murderous intent from Jared, Xavier felt a chill run down his spine. It felt as if he had just plunged into the depths of hell.
“No… No… This is impossible! How could you possibly catch the bullet?” Fear was written all over Xavier’s face. He kept shaking his head, refusing to believe that what he had witnessed was real. He could not comprehend what had just happened, for it was way beyond his understanding of the world. Xavier was only an ordinary man, and he was not even a martial artist. Hence, he did not know anything about martial arts. Jared narrowed his eyes. “There’s nothing that’s impossible. If you don’t believe me, you can shoot me again.” Upon meeting Jared’s murderous gaze, Xavier fell from his chair and collapsed to the floor. He did not dare to pick up the gun, let alone shoot again. Catching a bullet with his bare hand? Although Xavier did not believe it, that was the reality. He had no choice but to believe it. He finally understood why an ordinary man and ex-convict like Jared could win Josephine’s heart.
