Chapter 200 The Filial Earl
At 2 P.M., Steven put on his gear and then went to the window to wait for Earl to come for negotiations.
From this distance, as soon as Earl appeared on the river, Steven would spot him.
Moreover, Steven's sniper rifle could cover the entire midsection of the river within a range of nearly 5,000 feet.
As long as Earl entered this range, his life would no longer be in his own hands.
Steven took off the Rolex watch from his wrist, placed it on the table, and checked the time.
If Earl came this time, the result would undoubtedly be the best because Steven would have full control.
Even if the negotiations failed, he could instantly kill Earl!
'But if the negotiations failed...'Steven thought and shrugged. In reality, he wouldn't rush into Cox Village for a massacre.
At most, he would frequently patrol the riverbank with his Magnum Sniper Rifle, and as soon as he saw someone from Cox Village fishing by the river, he would snipe them!
Because the fish in the river were an important food source, those villagers couldn't possibly give it up.
After waiting for a while, Steven found a shadow slowly appearing from the messy snow piles and bushes on the opposite bank of the river.
Steven raised his Magnum Sniper Rifle and looked through the scope.
He clearly saw a chubby man in a black down jacket, with legs like two squares, and wearing a comically ridiculous fleece-lined beanie.
"That's him!" Steven recognized the figure.
Although Steven had seen Earl through tactical goggles last night, that Ice and Snow Psychic indeed had this body shape.
The crosshairs of the sniper rifle were already locked onto Earl's head.
As soon as he entered Steven's shooting range, Steven could take his life immediately!
At this moment, Earl tried to step onto the ice, but as soon as he put one foot on it, he slipped and fell directly onto the ice.
Steven couldn't help but laugh.
He mocked inwardly, 'Fuck! This is the Ice and Snow Psychic I was so wary of? The one with unlimited potential?'
'Wait a minute. I can't judge a person hastily based on their superficial behavior!' Steven restrained his smile and continued to watch.
But the next scene made him unable to hold back his laughter.
After falling, Earl scrambled to get up, but due to his nervousness, he slipped and fell again before he could stand properly!
Steven covered his mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
He didn't expect Earl to be such a clownish person!
Earl nervously looked around, afraid that someone had seen his embarrassing situation.
After confirming that no one had noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief and carefully got up.
Earl didn't have a dog at home, so he had to walk along the ice.
Steven restrained his smile. Although Earl was indeed a clownish person, he was also a powerful Psychic.
Steven wouldn't underestimate any opponent.
Steven observed the surroundings from the second floor, avoiding the possibility of an ambush.
But until ten minutes later, when Earl finally climbed up the opposite bank with difficulty, Steven didn't see any other figures.
Only then did he feel slightly relieved. "Looks like these guys are really scared of me!"
No wonder, after all, he had killed so many people, and the villagers of Cox Village were just ordinary people.
They had the guts to gang up and bully the weak, but when faced with a powerful and ruthless person, they didn't dare to fight back.
Steven put away his sniper rifle, ready to meet this interesting Psychic.
Earl climbed up the embankment to the road, where the thick snow had been compacted like a large piece of thick ice.
The scattered snowflakes falling from the sky provided some friction, preventing him from slipping again.
Earl swallowed hard, propped his hands on his knees, and took deep breaths by the roadside.
Just now, a big gasp almost froze his lungs, and his windpipe felt like it had been cut by small knives.
After resting enough, he took out his iPhone 42 from his pocket and called Steven.
"Hello, I'm at the riverbank. How do I get to you? There are traps all around your place, and I don't dare to come over!"
"No worries. I'm here, too." A cold voice sounded from the front.
Earl looked up and met Steven's cold, scrutinizing eyes.
One was fully armed, while the other was dressed like a ball; one was imposing, but the other was panting and extremely disheveled.
Steven found the scene somewhat comical.
The meeting of Psychics he had imagined shouldn't be like this.
But seeing Steven, Earl felt his legs go weak, and he even felt infinite awe and reverence for him. "You... are Steven?"
Steven nodded. "And you are Earl?"
"Yes, I am!" Earl straightened up and mustered the courage to say to Steven, "I'm here to negotiate with you! We shouldn't keep fighting; it's not good for anyone. This battle is utterly meaningless!"
Steven's lips curled into a cold smile. "Whether it's meaningful or not isn't up to you. As the aggressor, don't you feel ashamed?"
Earl awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
"I understand. It was our Cox Village's fault first. So, what will it take for you to reconcile with us?"
Earl's response left Steven somewhat speechless.
Steven had prepared for everything, including an ambush, a sudden attack, or, at least, a heated argument.
But the chubby man in front of him looked simple and silly, completely like an unsociable nerd!
This gave Steven a sense of helplessness.
However, Steven wouldn't show this mindset.
He crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows, and coldly asked, "I want to know, what are you willing to give up for my forgiveness?"
Earl blinked and immediately replied, "Anything but the lives of the villagers! We will try our best to meet your demands!"
The situation between the two was somewhat strange.
Steven lacked nothing, while Cox Village had nothing to offer.
But Steven needed to establish his authority. He coldly asked, "Who ordered you to attack me? That person must die before we can discuss anything further!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Earl excitedly replied, "That's easy! It was my grandpa's idea, and he was scared to death by you as soon as he got back! Now you should be appeased, right?"
Earl's face was filled with a sincere smile, making Steven sneer inwardly. "I can see you're quite happy!"
'You are really filial!' Steven thought sarcastically.
Earl scratched his chubby face, "The deceased are gone, and the living must think about the future, right? Besides, it was indeed our fault in the first place. So, we can't blame you."
