Chapter 158: Want To Compete In Guns?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Damn it, guns! There are guns!”
“Oh my gosh! There are real guns!”
“Oh my god! I didn’t expect the Hales to have so many guns!”
When the guests saw the dozen or so pistols in front of them, they gasped loudly in unison.
They wondered where the Hales actually got so many guns!
The possession of such guns was restricted. And apart from the military and police, civilians found to be in possession of such firearms would be deemed as committing a crime. The source of such heavy firearms had always been strictly controlled, and it would be difficult for the general public to get hold of such weapons.
Now, the Hales not only had guns, but they had more than ten of them. They were definitely not to be underestimated!
They were the trump card of the Hales!
Bruce stood at the front of the banquet hall, his gaze sinister and full of murderous intent. “Punk, I admit that you and this young man beside you are really competent in combat, and if we were in an era decades ago, maybe you really could use your combat skills to build a bright future for yourself. However, in today’s society, what’s the use of being so good at combat? Modern weapons are the most powerful! Even if you move fast, can you be faster than bullets? I’m certain you can’t escape with more than ten guns aimed at you!”
Bruce calmed down, and his tone was full of pride and arrogance.
With his powerful team of armed henchmen, he was certain that anyone who came to provoke the Hales wouldn’t escape.
Lucas glanced disdainfully at the automatic pistols in the hands of the henchmen around him and sneered mockingly. “Surely you don’t think you can deal with me with just these lousy things, do you?”

“Hahahahaha!” Bruce burst into laughter. “You’re really ignorant! You’ll find out immediately whether they’re lousy or not!”
He raised his arm high and ordered the henchmen, “Pay attention, and don’t kill them right away. Avoid the vital areas like their heads and hearts. Shoot them anywhere else you want. Shoot as many times as you want. I want him to feel the pain and apologize to my grandsons. I must make sure they beg me to give them a release after they have enjoyed the pain!”
Bruce’s words were so vicious that many of the guests in the corners of the hall looked horrified and had fear in their eyes.
But it was obvious that this was exactly the effect that he wanted.
He wanted the guests to understand that the Hales were still high up in the sky and would never tolerate any insults or humiliation. Their home was not a place where anyone could come and cause trouble!
He wanted to use Lucas and Jordan as an example to warn everyone not to belittle or disrespect the Hales!
The more than ten henchmen raised the guns in their hands, but just as they were about to pull their triggers, a loud explosion suddenly thundered outside the hall!
Bang!
It sounded as though something large and tall had collapsed and exploded.
With the loud sound, the entire floor of the banquet hall and glass began to quake as if an earthquake had occurred. The chandelier on the ceiling swayed, and many of the wine glasses on the dining tables fell and shattered on the ground.
“Ah! What’s happening?”
“What’s going on? Is it an earthquake? Or an explosion?”
“Get some people to hurry outside to take a look!”
The guests held their heads with both hands and hid under the tables while shrieking in horror. Some who were near the door even wanted to dash out first.

If there was really an earthquake or an explosion at this time, no one would care about whether or not they would offend the Hales because staying alive was the most important!
The Hales also hurriedly sent a few security guards to go out and check the situation.
But before they could get out, a heavily armed green military vehicle crashed right through the entrance of the banquet hall and sped right in!
Bang!
The beautiful and sturdy tempered glass doors of the banquet hall instantly shattered into pieces, and the fine glass shards splattered everywhere, covering the marble floor in broken glass.
“Aaahhh!” Some guests who were closer to the door shrieked in horror and covered their heads and faces; some who were a little slower to react ended up getting cut by the glass shards splattering everywhere and started bleeding.
But there was no time to worry about these small wounds, and everyone was simply dumbfounded as they stared at the incoming armored vehicle that crashed into the hall, their eyes glazing over.
It was a German PMMC-G5 armored vehicle that had a military green exterior and a triangular front. It was supported by two wide tank tracks and six pairs of sturdy wheels.
The armored vehicle was nearly three meters tall and eight meters long. It was just like a giant steel fortress!
It was only when everyone saw the domineering vehicle that they realized that the loud roar outside just now should have been the sound made by this armored vehicle crashing through the gate and bulldozing through the courtyard outside!
Furthermore, even more shocking was that, in addition to the armored vehicle that crashed into the hall, there were more armored vehicles charging into the front yard outside the banquet hall!
There were two, three… seven, eight of them!
Only after the spacious front yard of the Hale residence was all occupied did the convoy of massive vehicles stop moving forward!
But no one knew exactly how many more of the same armored vehicles there were outside the yard!
While everyone was overwhelmed with fear, nervousness, and shock, the doors of the armored vehicles opened uniformly, and countless soldiers dressed in dark green special military uniforms alighted. All of them had robust figures and a loaded gun tied around their waists, and they were all emitting an intimidating murderous aura!
There were ten, thirty… more than ninety people…
The soldiers who came out of the armored vehicles seemed to have no end as they soon filled up the open space in the Hale residence’s front yard and quickly barged into the banquet hall.
There were at least two hundred soldiers dressed in army green military uniforms!
The more terrifying thing was that after these people rushed into the banquet hall, they immediately held their fully automatic rifles and submachine guns in front of their bodies. All of a sudden, around two hundred terrifying rifles were all pointing neatly and uniformly at the 20-odd people holding pistols in the hall, as well as the Hales in front of them.
Bruce’s expression changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.
