Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

"This is unbelievable," Henry said through gritted teeth. "To be attacked here in the middle of the night."

As he spoke, he broke free from Lucas and Oliver's support and stood up unsteadily.

Although his mind felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his head, he tried his best to stay clear-headed.

"Liam, quickly scout the surroundings and see what's going on!"

Henry gave the order, glancing at Allen out of the corner of his eye, a wave of distrust rising within him.

"Could it be that all of this was a trap set by Allen and others?"

wrong!

The invitation to this hunting trip was relatively public, and if something happens to me here, Alan will definitely be held responsible.

At that point, neither Gloria nor the other Gettys will be able to let the prime suspect go!

Even at the risk of accidental killing, we won't spare his entire family!

Do not underestimate the ruthlessness of energy giants;

No one who can establish themselves in this industry is easy to deal with.

They embrace barbarity more than most other professions in the world.

The only way to prevent them from being too arbitrary is to make the suspects equal to their strength!

otherwise……

Upon receiving the order, Liam quickly directed his squad to search along the blast marks and bullet holes.

Just as a tense atmosphere permeated the night, and Liam and the others were anxiously searching around, a light suddenly appeared about three hundred meters away from them.

Then, an old voice came from the depths of the woods not far away: "Hey!"

anyone there?

Is that a person over there?

I'm so sorry!

My grandson just mistook you for wild animals!

If you are human, please respond to me!

If I hurt any of you, I will take responsibility for compensating you!

This sudden shout took everyone by surprise.

Liam and his men followed the sound, advancing in tactical formation while shouting warnings: "Hey!"

"Hey buddy over there, one of our guys almost got shot! Put down your weapon and come out here so we can see who you are!"

"Alright!"

Stop playing hide-and-seek, you bunch of guys!

Do you know what your little devil has done?

We weren't sitting ducks! If we hadn't reacted quickly, we might be lying on the ground right now!

Perhaps sensing that the other party meant no harm, Allen, who had been looking serious, suddenly seemed like a different person.

He slammed his hand on the ground, jumped up, and shouted loudly at the other side.

With a roar from Allen, his voice seemed to echo throughout the entire forest.

Immediately afterwards, the old man responded again, sounding even more urgent than before: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Please calm down, everyone. This is really just a misunderstanding.

We'll lay down our weapons, and could you please put yours away too?

We have no hostile intentions.

As the words were spoken, three figures slowly rose in the light.

The next instant, a dozen burly men armed with guns surrounded them.

The three surrounded immediately realized they were in big trouble!

They quickly tossed their hunting rifles aside, picked up a coat symbolizing peace, and slowly emerged from the woods.

As the distance between the two sides gradually closed, the beam of light grew brighter and brighter.

The first to appear was an elderly man with a full head of silver hair and a robust build. Beside him was a middle-aged man who looked very much like him, and a short boy who was only seven or eight years old.

"We came here to hunt, we didn't expect to accidentally hurt you."

"My grandson is a novice; he can't identify objects very well yet, and he thought it was a deer... I apologize for what we did."

"Don't worry, we will not shirk our responsibility and will definitely take full responsibility for this matter."

Whether it's medical expenses, other compensation, or even if you just want to beat me up to vent your anger, it's all fine!

The old man's voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, and his words were full of sincerity and apology.

However, Allen's emotions did not subside. He still glared angrily at the three men, as if he would pounce on them at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Screw your compensation! Do you think we'd even want your little bit of money?"

"Do you know that your grandson almost sent us to our deaths?"

Upon hearing Allen's words, the little boy's face showed fear, and he clung tightly to the old man's clothes. The old man tried his best to comfort him while continuing to try to ease the tension.

"Hey buddy, I know you're furious right now, but listen to me, it's all a misunderstanding."

We never intended to cause any trouble.

"Alan, I'm fine, relax."

At that moment, Henry, hiding in the shadows, loudly interrupted Allen's roar.

Although he still had many questions in his mind, he knew that now was not the time to argue.

He also understood that Allen's actions just now were also a way of showing his attitude—that he had nothing to do with this matter.

Otherwise, how could a seasoned veteran of the business world be so reckless?

"Sir, you say this is a misunderstanding, then can you give us a reasonable explanation?"

Why are you here, and why are you carrying guns?

Hearing Henry's voice, the old man and the middle-aged man beside him both breathed a sigh of relief.

They understood that the owner of the voice was clearly a key figure in this group.

If they can demonstrate their goodwill to him, the situation may be able to stabilize.

The old man then explained, "We are hunting enthusiasts. We heard there were deer in this forest, so we wanted to try our luck under the cover of night. We didn't expect to have chosen the wrong herd and mistaken you for our target."

Thank God, no one was hurt.

We are willing to pay you compensation for emotional distress, but we sincerely hope that no one else will be hurt because of this...

Hearing the old man's sincere words, Henry realized that the old man's attitude was genuine, and his mood gradually calmed down.

indeed!

In poor visibility conditions, a faint sound can easily lead to misjudgment.

Henry took a deep breath, then stepped out of the shadows and raised his hand in the direction the old man was.

"You're lucky, sir."

Thankfully Henry is alright, otherwise…

Both Allen and the old man breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Henry's act of kindness.

"Thank God, sir, it's so good that you're alright!"

I'm so sorry, I almost hurt you...

Having let go of his psychological burden, the old man began to handle the follow-up matters: "Chris!"

Come here and apologize to this gentleman!

Although the old man's tone was stern, it was not without a hint of affection.

His grandson, Chris Jr., may have been influenced by the family's traditional education.

Despite the fear on his face, he resolutely walked towards Henry, bowed slightly, and apologized: "I'm sorry, sir, I fired without carefully confirming the target. I'm very sorry..."
