Chapter 1640: Chapter 81: Wild Night, Second Movement (Part 2)

"Number one, two, and three can’t aim either, the angle is wrong."

"Number ten, fifteen can’t aim......"

Barbara, Miller, and the others listened to the sniper’s report, looking at each other in dismay. Similarly, those from other families watching the satellite feed were also bewildered. Although they couldn’t hear the sniper’s report, they could still judge based on Fatty’s movements.

This Fatty is a master! But with all sides controlled by the enemy, even if he holds a sniper rifle, what use is it?

Friedrich smiled and said, "General Tian commanded the bandit army, from nothing to something, from weak to strong, reaching today’s achievements—it is truly admirable. I think we might have a chance to cooperate."

"Oh? How to cooperate?" Fatty asked, looking clueless.

"Whatever you want, you shall have. Whether it’s sending troops to the Leray Federation, equipment, funds, energy, and power—everything you can think of, we can provide you with. You should believe we have such strength!" Friedrich said respectfully.

With Friedrich’s words, the entire world fell into a dead silence.

Whether it was David at the entrance of Devil’s Paradise or the clan leaders of various families in front of the satellite monitors, everyone felt their hearts in their throats for a moment.

Barbara’s move seemed absurd, yet it was deadly. Friedrich’s appearance was not just a tit-for-tat demonstration but a decisive step to unravel the Hastings family immediately.

In such negotiations, there is no need for terms or subtle wording. Friedrich only needed to tell Fatty plainly and clearly what kind of choice he had. As long as he nodded, any terms could be negotiated.

With all sides controlled, Fatty seemed to have no other choice. Either agree, watch the Hastings family collapse instantly, and then gain benefits perhaps even the Hastings couldn’t offer, or refuse and become a pair of tragic lovebirds with Margaret.

"I can have whatever I want?" Fatty asked, his face turning red as he stared at Friedrich in a daze. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on the second joint of Friedrich’s right middle finger resting on his cane, eyes immediately tightening.

Friedrich’s second joint of the right middle finger looked odd, like it had once been fractured and healed with a deformed joint. The finger bone seemed about to protrude from the flesh.

And at that deformed joint, there were two small moles in parallel—one above and one below, one large and one small.

Without realizing it, Fatty had clenched his teeth. The rising alcohol made his eyes red.

He knew those strange joints and those two moles too well. Since learning his parents died in a murder, he had engraved every detail of the man who left midway into his bones.

Casano! The former mechanic of the Chuckna Dragon Mecha Company.

The man who left midway, the one who knew the truth of twenty years ago, now stood right in front of him.

Fatty needed to muster all his strength just to control himself.

As he looked at the drunken-eyed Fatty, Friedrich didn’t notice he was staring at his knuckles. He bowed elegantly, "General Leefer and Miss Barbara eagerly anticipate your joining. No matter what unpleasantness occurred in the past, it can all be wiped clean. As long as you agree, your status will be above Miss Barbara!"

The entire world erupted in an uproar. No one expected Barbara to offer such a heavy promise to win over Fatty.

In the eyes of many families, the Hastings family had been pushed to the edge of a cliff. As long as Fatty stepped out, nodded, and stood beside Friedrich, it would all be over!

It was as if hearing everyone’s thoughts, on the screen, Fatty stepped forward, walking step by step toward Friedrich.

"You’re using snipers around me to show your sincerity?" Fatty said while swaying slightly, staring at Friedrich.

Friedrich smiled faintly, Fatty’s gun still slung over his shoulder, which reassured him.

"This is just a strategy, isn’t it? As long as General Tian agrees, these snipers pose no threat to you!"

Amidst everyone’s gaze, Fatty walked to Friedrich’s side and laughed, "Whether I agree or not, they pose no threat!"

Just as Friedrich’s expression changed, everyone saw Fatty swiftly strike, chopping at his carotid artery with a fierce expression, "You stay here!"

Before the words finished, he sharply turned around, and the Garand Sniper Rifle on his shoulder drew an arc in the air, swung to the front, with a tilt of the jaw, closing his left eye, and the muzzle flashed suddenly.

Five hundred meters away, a sniper’s head burst like a red firework in the night sky.

At the same time, Fatty pushed off with his left foot, his body like a plump cheetah pouncing fiercely, and while still airborne, swung his rifle widely, the muzzle flashed again, the lonely gunshot echoed in the night sky, and a sniper from another direction, nearly eight hundred meters away, fell down accordingly.

With Fatty’s action, everyone was stunned.

David, McCarthy, Barbara before the satellite monitoring screen, Old Miller, and people from various families, all in different locations but all closely following the happenings in Devil’s Paradise, were dumbstruck one by one.
