Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

"Brother...I...I really didn't mean to..."

Chris's voice trembled, tears welled up in his eyes, but he couldn't hold them back and they slid down his young cheeks.

Henry smiled and nodded, then gently wiped away the tears on Chris's face with his finger.

"I know, Chris."

Everyone makes mistakes; the important thing is how we learn from them and correct them…

Henry's words were like a spring breeze, completely dispelling the gloom in Chris's family's hearts.

Grandpa Ramirez and Father Bob's tense faces relaxed, revealing long-lost smiles.

Ramirez stepped forward and gently patted Chris on the back, his loving voice like the shade under an old tree root: "Christopher, remember everything that happened today, it's an important moment in your growth."

When we get home, we'll take you to church to confess your mistakes and help those in need.

"Okay, Grandpa."

Thank you too, Brother Henry. I'll do my best.

Chris nodded solemnly, looked up at Henry, and his eyes shone with gratitude.

Henry looked into the child's clear eyes, smiled with relief, and encouraged him, "Of course I believe you."

Each of us has the potential to become a better version of ourselves, as long as you are willing to work for it…

As Henry finished speaking, he looked around, his eyes questioning the bodyguard team present.

Seeing that they nodded to indicate that there were no other potential dangers around, Henry clapped his hands lightly, signaling everyone to return to their positions.

"It seems everyone is tired. Let's pack up and get ready to go back."

"That's perfect, I am indeed a bit tired!"

Upon hearing Henry's words, Allen immediately put on a sleepy expression.

Having experienced the previous harrowing ordeal, no one had any desire to continue hunting.

The bodyguards sprang into action, checking their equipment and clearing the scene.

Henry, on the other hand, was held tightly by Chris's hand as they walked together toward the parking spot.

Their parking spots were all in the same direction.

As the little guy walked, he breathed on his slapped hand, his little nose twitching as if to ease the pain in his palm.

The two of them walked and talked.

"Chris, aren't you from Georgia?"

"Yes, that's right, Brother Henry."

We came from Texas.

Grandpa brings us here for vacation every year around this time.

He said this place holds many fond memories of his youth.

Chris's voice was soft, but every word he spoke was sincere.

Henry listened, which strengthened his conviction.

He bent down and picked Chris up, then asked, "Do you like it here?"

How is it different from Texas?

Want to go to California?

California?

where is it?

Is there a place with Mickey Mouse?

Little Chris looked up, his face full of questions.

Without waiting for Henry's reply, she looked around at the scenery and continued, "But it's much colder here than in Texas, and there are so many trees."

In Texas, we live on a plain where you can see far into the distance.

"Here, I feel like I'm in a completely different world."

"California's charm goes far beyond Mickey Mouse; there are many other fun places to visit."

For example, the beaches in Santa Monica have fine, soft sand that's perfect for playing.

In Los Angeles, you can stroll along the Hollywood Walk of Fame and might even bump into some real movie stars!

Henry couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chris's childlike answer.

"Chris, every corner of this world has its unique scenery."

In the area where I live, the climate is pleasant, and there are many sea lions along the coastline.

Near some docks, you might even have the chance to hand-feed them!

Chris's eyes sparkled; he was clearly fascinated by these new and exciting things.

"Really?

Movie star?

Sea lion?

Will we see them making a movie?

"That's possible."

Henry responded with a laugh, "Sometimes you can stumble upon a movie set in some corner of the city..."

Upon hearing this, Chris had already forgotten his previous displeasure. He hugged Henry's neck tightly and asked excitedly, "When are we going?"

I also want to meet the movie stars, and those sea lions!

Henry patted Chris on the back gently and said tenderly, "If you'd like, I can help you plan a trip."

"Brother Henry, of course I'd love to!"

But...Grandpa and Dad said I'm too young to travel far alone.

Chris's mood began to sink again. He turned to Henry and pleaded, "Brother Henry, could you please talk to Grandpa and Dad and ask them to let me continue practicing shooting... I promise I won't shoot anyone. This was really an accident. I'll be more careful in the future..."

"Mr. Henry, don't listen to him!"

The old man Ramirez, who was walking in front, turned around and glared at Chris, which scared the little guy so much that he immediately hid behind Henry.

"This kid is really tough. He's so young, yet he already knows how to play the victim. Don't be fooled by him."

"Haha, I know, Mr. Kyle."

Henry laughed and said, "Actually, in a safe environment, like at a shooting range, he can play with the AR-15 without any problem... but activities like hunting are really too dangerous for him. Let's wait until he's older."

Henry noticed the AR-15 rifle on Chris's back. Such a weapon was indeed too heavy for a child, and it would be dangerous to use it, especially if he lacked experience.

"Forget it, I'll never let him touch these things again. I'll have to buy some trigger locks to lock all these guns when we get home."

Ramirez sighed, and Chris's father, Bob, nodded in agreement.

"well……"

When Chris heard about his elders' decision, his lips trembled, and he looked like he was about to cry again.

However, Henry was very understanding of the other person's feelings. Putting himself in their shoes, he realized that if this had happened to someone else, even without any actual harm, the matter would not have ended so easily.

By then, the family may face serious economic and legal problems.

"Okay, stop crying!"

Henry gently comforted Chris, wiping his swollen little nose with the sleeve of his coat.

"How about this, I'll make a deal with you."

"Study hard now and build up your strength. When you grow up and turn ten, if you have a strong body, I'll give you the gun you've always wanted and take you to join the strongest military training organization in the United States. How about that?"

Henry, who had gained supernatural insight, did not want this incident to hinder Chris's talent development.

Based on what he knew, Chris's future success was largely due to his early hunting experience.

Henry truly felt it would be a waste if Chris lost his legendary life because of this incident.

Henry had already planned an unusual path for Chris in his mind.
