Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Courting Death by Approaching
Unfortunately, the next presidential candidate had an 80% chance of being Rupert Harris’s father, but now that this incident has happened, the Harris family was caught off guard. Undoubtedly, once Rupert’s father steps down, someone would fill that position. The other side of the Harris family is eyeing the situation, so one can imagine the pressure Rupert is under.
Adam Sinclair knew about this, and, of course, so did Baron Lawrence.
He patted Rupert on the shoulder, his eyes calm and distinguished, “Just let me know if you need any help.”
Rupert’s mouth curled into a smile, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
Baron Lawrence is not only a wealthy heir but also a soldier. His position in the Military District is unquestionable, and the power in his hands is also impeccable.
Others might say this casually, but his words weigh heavier than anything else!
He picked up an AK Handgun from a row of firearms, glanced at Adam, and said with a smile, “I need help right now. I made a bet with Adam about whether you can hit the bullseye with three shots. If I lose, I’ll approve his project. If I win, he won’t interfere in the project. Come on, three shots.”
Adam immediately perked up, denying, “Terry Leigh, you can’t play tricks like that! When did I agree to bet this with you? This is too much. No, no.”
“It’s settled then.” Rupert had already thrown the gun to Baron Lawrence.
Baron Lawrence caught the silenced weapon cleanly with one hand and cocked it. As Adam watched in pain, Baron Lawrence stood sideways, aimed at the target 20 meters away, and narrowed his keen eyes.
Three shots, almost without a pause.
And the position was spot on!
All within the bullet hole range!
“Nice!” Rupert knew he was a good shooter, but he didn’t expect him to be this good.
Baron Lawrence unloaded the gun again, loaded a bullet, aimed at the target, and fired a shot, accurately penetrating the bullet that was originally stuck in the bullseye–
Aside from the three of them, there were quite a few female stars in the room.
When Adam and Rupert were there, they were already eager to sneak around, thinking about which one would be better to approach. Now that Baron Lawrence had appeared, their target automatically shifted to the man holding the gun.
Although having a son is not great, overall, he’s the best candidate.
While they were still wondering how to get close to this man, a young woman with a pure and innocent face had already set her sights on him.
She wasn’t like the others, all talk and no action. She took a clean wine glass, poured a cocktail, and stood up.
With innocence, she moved towards the chatting trio.
Olivia and Bobby saw her little action. Olivia’s anger instantly rushed to her face, her expression darkening, and she was about to stop the intruder.
Bobby’s eyes also flashed with annoyance, but he didn’t change his expression like Olivia did. He calmly grabbed Olivia’s wrist, his beautiful face cool as ever, “Auntie Olivia, don’t mind her. The Dubious Man is not that easy to get. You’ll see, she’s bound to suffer a big loss.”
He had confidence in the Dubious Man, who wouldn’t be interested in a sharp-faced woman who thought she was beautiful!
