NOVPUB805: Chapter 730 Bad News
805 -730 Bad News
Riding horses, this ‘noble sport’, is indeed out of touch with the common people.
Everyone agreed to ride horses up the back mountain, and then play at a flying disc shooting range that had been set up.
Joe Ga used to ride buffaloes as a child and initially thought the not-so-strong-looking Arab horses would be easy to control, but reality taught him that the temper of all things rises exponentially with their price index…
Just like Chanel dresses can’t be washed with water, the children of trashy women can’t undergo paternity tests, a Rolls-Royce maintenance could cost an ordinary worker a fortune…
These Arab steeds, saddled up, wouldn’t even let boss Joe ride them.
When Joe Ga approached, a sleek stallion would kick up its heels, and all sorts of fruits and vegetables offered as bribes were useless.
It was as if there was a virus on boss Joe, it desperately wanted to escape whenever he got close.
Fortunately, boss Joe foresaw this situation, he persuaded Danbao to knock over the broken horse that refused him, then amidst Sayyid and Eric’s heckling, he rode off on a quad bike.
Seeing Danbao sticking close and displaying a spirit of advancing and retreating together, Joe Ga greatly comforted, patted Danbao’s big head, then glared at Eric who was making the stallions circle around him and cursed, “Don’t be smug, these pretty ‘chicks’ are all cowards, wait until we hit the grasslands in the afternoon to show your true colors.” 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Joe Ga reached behind Danbao’s ears and touched, saying, “Only my Danbao listens, if Namo were here, I’d like to see if you would still dare to ride these horses…”
When Joe Ga was complaining, Sara led a group of silver-gray stallions behind him, quietly said, “Horses are very sensitive animals, you need to let them feel your goodwill, they are scared…”
Joe Ga paused for a moment, glanced back at Sara, and said with a smile, “Then their current performance must mean they’re not scared enough.
But never mind, I forgive them…”
Sara was at a loss for how to respond to Joe Ga’s words…
She intended to empathize with him trying to familiarize him with the temperament of the horses, but it seemed Joe Ga didn’t care at all, which was disappointing to her.
Yesterday Joe Ga had figured out that he should live a little more transparently, not purposely socializing or courting favor from anyone.
Sara looked pretty as a child, but growing up, her Maktoum Family’s typical hawkish nose wasn’t very attractive.
A girl who didn’t appeal to boss Joe’s aesthetic could not ignite his desire to converse or learn.
Joe Ga’s lack of graciousness made Gami and Charlene issue disapproving sounds, and as the two sisters urged their horses to try and nudge boss Joe a little, the moment they got close, the two perfect Arab horses, as if pricked by a needle, kept backing away.
Seeing the two sisters awkwardly controlling their horses, Joe Ga laughed heartily and revved up the motorcycle, taking the lead and dashed onto a small path…
“I just can’t vibe with these big toys, hurry up, I can’t wait to garner educational funds for the children in Central Africa…”
Watching Joe Ga zooming off, Gami finally managed to control the horse beneath her, then looked at Sara’s somewhat depressed expression, and smiling, said, “Don’t mind him, sometimes this guy is just a bit of a bastard…”
Sara listened and a smile appeared on her face, saying, “No, he’s a good man.
I’ve heard many comforting words, but only Sayyid and Hu Lang put them into action.
He is a good man…”
As a strong-willed woman, Gami naturally sympathizes with the likes of Sara, Amina, and even the early Charlene who are delicate and beautiful damsels.
Watching Sara join her brothers in chasing after the horses before mounting one herself, Gami shook her head and said, “You need to understand something, it’s not that people don’t want to help you, it’s whether you show enough courage.
We shouldn’t pin our lives on the sympathy of others.
This time Hu Lang responded to your desire at Sayyid’s request, but what about next time?
If you can’t bravely say ‘no’ to things you dislike, you’ll continue to land in such predicaments.”
Gami urged her horse forward to Sara’s side, looking sideways at Sara whose expression was slightly touched, she said smilingly, “Charlene and I have organized a sisterhood mutual aid group, with current main members being Devil Bird, Kitten, Owl, Princess Amina, Jemma Alexander…
Maybe you could join us, and then do something truly meaningful for the world, which would be helpful in boosting your confidence and presence.
Of course, there’s a slight threshold for joining, but you being a Dubai Princess, organizing a charity fund shouldn’t be too difficult.”
Sara faced the invitation from a female leader, her eyes began to sparkle more…
Joe Ga had no idea Gami was cajoling the Dubai Princess into funding their P.B.
charity plan, as he drove the motorcycle to the mountain top platform, the fresh breeze made him feel quite relaxed.
Standing at the not-too-high mountain top platform looking down, he had a full view of the entire resort.
There wasn’t the heroic feeling of being able to embrace all the mountains and rivers described in legends, he just felt calm, peaceful, and satisfied.
The resort wasn’t built by Joe Ga, but he was the driving force behind its establishment.
Being able to build such a resort within a primitive reserve gave Joe Ga a great sense of accomplishment.
Several waiters already waiting at the summit did not dare to disturb boss Joe’s reprieve.
Dorian sidled up next to the boss, trying to mimic his posture and find something worth being captivated by, but was caught by the scruff of his neck by Ayu who dragged him aside…
Joe Ga heard the commotion by his side, just about to make fun of Dorian, his phone rang…
After answering the call and listening to Monica’s narration, Joe Ga’s brows gradually furrowed.
“Don’t panic!
Protect yourself!
I’ll be there soon!”
Dorian, unaware of what had happened, saw his usually radiant and satisfied boss now devoid of smiles, and a chilling aura bursting forth made him involuntarily tense up.
Seeing Joe Ga hang up the call, Dorian stepped forward and said, “Boss, what happened?”
Joe Ga waved his hand and said, “Go find Gami, I need to borrow his plane.
I will leave this afternoon…”
Dorian looked at Joe Ga’s serious expression.
He didn’t ask further but nodded vigorously and said, “I will prepare right away.
Do I need to notify Devil Bird?”
Joe Ga nodded and said, “Tell her I am going to America, Eric has been hospitalized with a sudden heart attack, I want to check on him…”
Dorian was stunned for a moment, whispered something to Ayu, and then turned around, mounted his quad bike, and sped down the mountain.
Joe Ga watched Dorian leave, and then turned to walk to the shooting range.
He said to the server Xiao Hei beside him, “When I say ‘pull’, you release…”
Xiao Hei was startled for a moment, hurriedly went to turn on the automatic clay pigeon launcher, then approached a steel pillar, nervously placing his hand on the switch…
Joe Ga closed his eyes and carefully recalled the things he had done recently.
He couldn’t understand why someone suddenly targeted Eric?
The sudden incident caught him off guard and made him, a man known to protect his own, especially furious…
“Pull.”
The moment Joe Ga growled, two orange discs flew into the sky…
“Bang bang”
Joe Ga quickly drew his pistol, firing two shots in rapid succession, but he unexpectedly missed one target.
The misfire didn’t make Joe Ga angry; instead, he gradually calmed down…
“Pull”
As two more clay pigeons soared into the sky, Joe Ga deliberately waited about half a second longer, allowing the targets to fly further before quickly raising his gun and pulling the trigger…
“Bang bang”
The clay pigeons in the sky, now distanced from each other, shattered on cue…
“Pull”
“Bang bang”
“Pull”
“Bang bang”
As Joe Ga gradually found the rhythm of shooting the flying discs, the distances they traveled in the sky shrank…
“Pull”
“Bang bang”
When there were just two bullets left in the magazine, Joe Ga pulled the trigger, shattering them the moment they were released.
If one wasn’t paying close attention, they might even think he was shooting at the launcher.
Amidst Xiao Hei the server’s exclamations, Joe Ga changed the magazine on his pistol and then told him, “When I say ‘pull’ later, keep launching them non-stop…”
After speaking, Joe Ga closed his eyes and moved his neck and shoulders around.
Once he was focused…
“Pull”
Xiao Hei instinctively started pressing the button in his hand, and the clay pigeon launcher began spewing out orange discs at the highest frequency.
“Bang bang, bang bang bang bang, bang bang, bang bang…”
Fully concentrated, Joe Ga could no longer hear any external sound.
The moment the bullets were spent, he pressed the release, shook his wrist a bit, and the left hand’s magazine was already on top as the other fell off…
“Bang bang bang…”
Just arrived at the platform, Sayyid, Hamandan, Al Sani, and the confident Tahnoon were all stunned…
The reason why double-barrel shotguns and Number 12 buckshots are used for clay pigeon shooting is that ordinary rifles just can’t handle it.
Hitting high-speed flying discs from distances of 40 to 60 meters with bullets is an extremely difficult task.
For Joe Ga to intercept flying clay targets with a handgun was an almost impossible task.
“Da da, da da”
When the clay pigeon launcher controlled by Xiao Hei made empty firing sounds, Joe Ga intentionally allowed the last two discs to reach about 50 meters before pulling the trigger…
“Bang bang”
‘Super Jager’ fired the last two bullets, hitting the center of the clay pigeons accurately.
When the clay targets shattered, two plumes of colored smoke remained in the air.
But before they could drift down, they were carried away by the breeze through the mountains…
Joe Ga habitually changed the magazine on his pistol and then holstered the gun.
Then he heard a round of applause…
