America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 586 Teacher Ma Doesn't Talk About Martial Ethics

The hum of motors came from the water, and several speedboats were poised to go. Martin slung his quiver over his shoulder, grabbed his recurve bow, and boarded the speedboat driven by Bruce.

Behind her, Kate Upton, dressed in revealing clothing, extended her hand: "Master."

Martin pulled her aside: "Be careful."

Kate Upton boarded the boat smoothly and said, "I grew up in Miami, Florida, and I've been dealing with water and boats since I was a child. Besides horseback riding, my favorite thing is water-related sports."

Martin nodded and said, "After I pull the fish up, you're in charge of throwing them into the hold."

Kate Upton replied, "No problem."

The speedboat beside them slowly drove away from the pier. On board, David Finch, carrying a shotgun, said to Martin, "Your weapon is too primitive. You'll lose the race."

Menez, who had just arrived from Los Angeles the weekend, stood on another boat and shouted, "It's so unfair to us if Martin uses a gun!"

Producer Danu's boat passed by: "Mene is right, it would be fair to give Martin a bow and arrow and a pistol."

A total of six speedboats set off from the dock and headed towards the vast lake.

For this shooting activity, Gillian found a local club and organized it under their name. The advantage was that she could use compliant firearms to fish under the guidance of professionals.

Bruce steered the speedboat toward the left front, while Martin stood near the bow, carefully observing the movement on the lake.

This lake connects to the Mississippi River and is also infested with Asian carp.

Moreover, due to its good water quality and abundant aquatic plants, it has become a habitat for many large fish.

The six speedboats parted ways on the vast lake and soon disappeared from sight.

The faint sound of gunfire could be heard.

Kate Upton looked at Martin with considerable concern; a bow and arrow were certainly no match for a shotgun.

Martin, pinned to the speedboat, drew an arrow and nocked it on the string of his compound recurve bow.

In my previous life, when I was a stunt double, I specifically trained in archery and was skilled in both mounted archery and horseback archery.

In the past two years, I have practiced again specifically for filming "John Wick".

Bruce maneuvered the speedboat, navigating a large S-shape across the calm lake. As the water was churned, fish began to leap out of the water.

A large fish jumped out from the right front.

Martin was quick-witted and agile; his bow was taut, and his arrows shot like shooting stars.

Just as the large fish was about to fall into the water, an arrow pierced its round body, drawing out a spray of blood.

The fish fell into the water and struggled desperately, trying to shake off the arrow that had pierced its body.

Martin, wearing cut-resistant gloves, grabbed the speargun line attached to the arrow and dragged it back.

The fish was incredibly strong, and since it was Martin's first time working with Bruce in this area, it took him a little while to drag the fish to the side of the boat.

This is a very large carp, weighing at least 20 pounds.

Martin didn't even need to use a net; he simply lifted the fish onto the boat, removed the trapdoor and arrows, and tossed the fish behind.

Kate Upton went to retrieve the fish, and she did so with considerable skill, grabbing the gills with both hands, lifting it up, and tossing it into the cabin.

Martin gave her a thumbs-up and looked for a new target.

Soon another fish burst into the water, much larger than the previous one.

Martin gripped the bow tightly.

Bruce's ship turned that way.

Just as the water exploded, Martin slightly turned his bow and loosened the bowstring.

As the sound of wind breaking rang out, a splash of blood bloomed once more.

Martin had just grabbed the speargun line when he heard a whooshing sound from behind him.

As he instinctively looked down and turned around, he caught a glimpse of a large fish leaping out of the water!

The fish jumped higher than the side of the boat!

This might be a male fish, probably tired of being a fish and wanting to learn from mammals, to experience what it feels like to suckle, so it flew towards Kate Upton.

But it jumped over it, its head missing the mark, and then it struggled to swing its tail.

If your head can't experience it, your tail can.

Martin heard a sharp crack, and Kate Upton, who was sitting on the boat, clutched her chest and fell to the ground with a gasp.

The large carp that jumped up, exhausted, landed with a thud in the cabin.

Kate Upton was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, but she showed her tough side by getting up and pinning the big fish down. She then grabbed a short stick from the side and swung it down, smashing it on the fish's head.

"I..." She clutched her chest, panting, and said, "I'm fine."

Seeing that she was alright, Martin turned around and went to catch the fish.

In that short time, the fish underwater dragged him to the bow of the boat with astonishing force.

Martin lowered the recurve bow, gripped the spearhead with both hands, and worked with the winch at the bow to pull in the fish, shouting, "Bruce!"

Bruce piloted the speedboat, working alongside Martin to fish.

I wonder how big the fish underwater are. Even with Martin's incredible strength, I feel like he could be pulled into the water at any moment.

After a period of struggle, the power of modern machinery was ultimately beyond the capabilities of an injured fish.

A large bluefish, about a meter long, was gradually pulled to the side of the boat.

Despite being pierced by arrows, the giant bluefish remained resilient, shaking its head and wagging its tail, refusing to accept its fate.

Martin noticed Kate Upton sitting behind him clutching her chest, looking like she was in a lot of pain, and decided to end the fight quickly.

The big bluefish struggled desperately, trying to escape.

Martin pulled out his pistol from his waist, and without even aiming, he released the safety and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang!

He fired three shots, each hitting the big bluefish in the head, and blood immediately gushed out.

The water quickly became still, and the big blue carp floated on the surface, its dead fish eyes staring blankly at the boat, as if to say, "You have no martial ethics!"

The uncivilized Master Ma hauled the fish onto the boat; by feel, it weighed about thirty or forty pounds.

Bruce has already stopped the ship.

Martin asked, "Kate, how are you?"

Kate Upton remained defiant: "I'm fine, I've recovered, I can keep going."

Martin glanced at her and noticed that her chest was bright red, indicating that her bra size was at least one size too large. He said, "Let's go back and get her checked out first."

Kate Upton really wanted to say, "Just check it for me," but with Bruce behind her, she didn't say it.

She rubbed her chest, stood up, and said, "I'm fine, really, let's continue."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be in any trouble, Martin reminded her, "Tell me immediately if you feel unwell!"

Kate Upton said, "I will."

Bruce started the speedboat and continued the hunting trip.

As the sun was rising from the east to its zenith, six speedboats returned to the dock one after another. Martin's boat had just stopped by the wooden pier when Kate Upton went ashore to the nearby changing room.

David Fincher's boat came up from behind, and he shouted, "Martin, how many did you shoot?"

Martin called for people to come and carry the fish, saying, "Not many, maybe a dozen or so."

David Fincher doesn't want to talk to Martin anymore.

Menez was a frequent gun enthusiast and a fairly good marksman. On his boat, he shouted, "I've shot eight!"

Producer Danu simply stopped talking.

No one ate these fish, so Martin said after getting ashore, "Leave all the large herrings you have to me."

Worried that these people wouldn't understand, he pointed to the meter-long bluefish and said, "A fish like this."

A large number of film crew members have arrived and are preparing for a picnic party on the shore.

Mene brought over a large bluefish and asked curiously, "Boss, what do you want this fish for? It's not very tasty."

Martin said, "There might be gems inside."

He followed the club members to the pre-dug burial pit, found a knife and cut the largest herring along the large joint of its pectoral fin. He then had Mene bring a stainless steel spoon and pried the herring stone off the fish's occipital bone.

Menez looked at the filthy mess and said, "It doesn't look very appealing."

Martin said, "Because it hasn't been processed yet."

He took out a bag and put it away, then had the club's workers dissect other bluefish to look for bluefish stones.

Some of the herring didn't have any, so Martin collected a total of five of various sizes, put them in a bag, and handed them to Bruce, saying, "Find a place where the sun won't shine on them and let them air dry slowly. When we get back to Los Angeles, we'll find someone in Chinatown to process them."

Bruce put it away.

Martin took off his gloves and washed his hands. He saw Kate Upton, who had changed her clothes, coming out of the cabin's dressing room in the distance. He said, "Remind me later that the biggest one is for Kate, as compensation for her injury."

Bruce replied, "Understood."

Menez leaned in: "Boss, this thing is really rare. Could you give me one later? Celine Dion loves these weird and wonderful things."

He followed Martin to the men's locker room: "Facing Celine, a woman with a net worth of several hundred million dollars, I don't know what to give her."

Martin immediately changed his mind: "Old Bu, give the biggest one to Menez."

Bruce put his arm around Menne's shoulder: "Tell me honestly, how many were you dating at the same time?"

Menez waved his hand: "There aren't many left now, just Celine Dion, Emma Thomas, and Isabelle Huppert..."

He sighed, "Sophie Marceau only spent about ten nights with me before ignoring me."

Bruce exclaimed in admiration, "You're a fucking Casanova!"

When Martin and his two companions changed their clothes and arrived at the picnic area, the Fishing Club held a small ceremony.

The club's management announced Martin as the winner of the fishing competition and awarded him a trophy.

After receiving the trophy, Martin presented it to the injured Kate Upton, saying, "Ladies first."

Kate Upton accepted the gift, patted her chest, and said tremblingly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

After the ceremony, the picnic began.

It's also fun when a group of people get together to eat, drink, and have fun.

In the afternoon, the club will also organize a fishing competition and a women's swimming competition.

Martin wasn't interested in the former, but became the referee for the latter, and was then dragged into the mess by a group of women, getting groped in the chaos.

As evening approached, the film crew returned to their accommodation.

Upon returning, Martin personally treated the entire crew to a Mississippi-style feast.

During dinner, Gillian Flynn approached Martin to discuss some work-related matters.

Martin asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

Gillian smiled and said, "I've only written part of the new book, let me show it to you first."
