American Hunting: Starting with Solitary Life in the Wilderness

Chapter 3: Revenge from a Past Life Completed!

Lin Yu'an shook his head, immediately pulling himself out of his thoughts.

The nightmare of your past life is about to cruelly reappear before your eyes!

But this time he wasn't unprepared!
Before rushing into the supermarket, he briefly returned to the pickup truck and retrieved a fully loaded Glock 19 from a hidden compartment under the seat.

If he has the chance to take revenge this time, he never wants to experience the helplessness and despair he felt with a fountain pen in his previous life again!
He gently patted Arya's back and whispered in her ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Arya, don't be afraid, stay here, and don't move! Trust me!"

Although Aria was still shaken, she nodded firmly when she saw Lin Yu'an's determined gaze! She had always trusted Lin Yu'an so much, unwaveringly.

At the other end of the supermarket, the madman in the dark hoodie was pointing his modified AR-15 at a trembling young mother.

Without further hesitation, Lin Yu'an pulled out the Glock 19 from his waist, skillfully cocked it, and, using the shelf as cover, crawled forward in the direction the gunner was speaking.

Texas law includes a "self-defense law," which means that you can defend yourself even if you are not in your own "castle."

If you face a threat that has already occurred or is about to occur that could cause serious harm to your life or body, you are generally not required to back down and can use reasonable force in self-defense.

The mother was holding a baby tightly in her arms, and the baby was crying loudly because of the sudden loud noise.

"Hey, sweetheart~ Now, I'm giving you a choice: you or the little cutie in your arms, only one of you can live."

"You choose! I'll count to five, and if you don't choose, you can all go see God!"

The madman let out a hoarse, morbid laugh, the muzzle of his gun waving back and forth between the mother and the baby.
The young mother was pale, her face streaked with tears, but her eyes were unusually firm.

Without hesitation, she screamed with all her might, "Please...please let my child live! Please!"

The madman's smile grew increasingly distorted, carrying a mocking cruelty.

"Oh? What touching maternal love! It's a pity I never had it."

"Hehe, just kidding! Blonde white girls are really that easy to fool! What I've never had, this little cutie in your arms certainly can't have either~"

The smile on his face vanished abruptly, replaced by a crazed, ferocious expression: "Both of you, you're going to meet God today!"

As he spoke, his finger slowly moved toward the trigger!
At this critical moment!
Hey! Look here!

A thunderous roar echoed through the chaotic supermarket!

The madman named Derek shuddered, his finger, which was about to pull the trigger, instinctively paused, and he turned around in astonishment at the sound.

About ten meters away, he saw an Asian man he didn't recognize standing next to the shelf.

Before he could react, Lin Yu'an had already moved!
Without the slightest hesitation or delay! In an instant, he unleashed the American-style Iaijutsu, the magazine emptying technique!

"Bang, bang, bang"

Fifteen 9mm Parabellum rounds were unleashed from the muzzle of the Glock 19 in less than three seconds!

The狰狞 ​​and astonishment on the face of this deranged madman are frozen in time.

He didn't even have time to turn the gun around or let out a scream before bursts of blood erupted from his chest and head. He fell backward, landing heavily on the cold floor.

Lin Yu'an's chest heaved violently, and his right hand, gripping the Glock 19, trembled slightly. All the regrets, self-blame, sorrow, and despair from his past life, all that endless pain, were overwhelmed by the pain.

It was as if those fifteen gunshots had found an outlet for their emotions! When Derek fell to the ground, the boulder that had been weighing on Lin Yu'an's heart for countless days and nights shattered with a deafening roar.

An unprecedented sense of ease washed over him; the world seemed to regain its color and sound in that moment. "Arya!"

He suddenly realized that the police would be here soon, and he dared not continue holding the Glock 19. After putting it on the shelf, he turned and rushed to the pile of diapers.

Aria was still curled up there. When Lin Yu'an helped her up, she looked at him with teary eyes, her gaze full of trust.

“My dear, you…” her voice was choked with sobs.

Lin Yu'an didn't say anything, but simply hugged her tightly again.

“It’s alright, Arya, it’s all over, it’s alright.” He whispered in her ear again and again.

The sharp sound of police sirens shattered the brief tranquility inside the supermarket as they approached.

Soon, several heavily armed police officers rushed in, quickly took control of the scene, and scanned everything warily.

When the police saw Derek lying in a pool of blood next to him, along with the menacing AR-15 and the Glock pistol that Lin Yu-an had placed on the shelf, they immediately went on high alert.

"APD! Drop your weapons!" With the blonde white mother's confirmation, the officer quickly identified Lin Yu'an.

Lin Yu'an slowly raised his hands to indicate that he posed no threat: "The gun is there, it's empty. That man was the gunman, and he wanted to hurt the woman with the baby."

At this moment, the mother holding the baby also came to her senses. She cried out to the police officer, "It was him! He saved us! The man who collapsed was a madman; he tried to kill me and my child!"

She pointed at Derek's body, then at Lin Yu'an.

Several other shaken customers also testified, describing the terrifying scene they had just witnessed.

Police quickly assessed the situation at the scene. The AR-15 and scattered shell casings near Derek, along with testimonies from multiple witnesses, all pointed to a clear fact.

An older police officer stepped forward, gesturing for his colleagues to lower their guns, but remaining vigilant: "Sir, please cooperate with our investigation. What's your name?"

"Lin Yu'an".

"Is that Glock yours?"

"Yes, I have a gun license."

Lin Yu-an spent the next few hours at the police station, recounting the events in detail.

Lin Yu'an calmly revealed everything. He had only come to find his wife and happened to have a gun with him. He shot and killed the murderer who was trying to kill him in self-defense in the supermarket.

Texas has relatively lenient laws regarding self-defense, especially when facing a gunman who initiates an attack; the right to self-defense is expanded to an unlimited extent.

The preliminary investigation results, along with numerous eyewitness testimonies and supermarket surveillance footage, are all extremely favorable to Lin Yu-an.

That evening, with the assistance of his lawyer, Lin Yu-an was granted bail.

Stepping out of the police station, the night breeze was slightly cool. Alia clung tightly to Lin Yu'an, as if only then could she feel safe.

She called softly, her voice filled with endless tenderness: "Darling... thank you."

Lin Yu'an held her hand tightly, looking at her slightly pale and frightened face, his heart filled with pity.
