“The handsome guy leading the group is so handsome!”
“You stop swooning. Haven’t you seen those tough guys around him? This handsome guy seems to be a rich second generation!”
“Wow! It’s really impressive. This country has plenty of tough men. Even though it’s a small town, everything seems quite complete.” Watching the shops lining the street, Zhou Chao couldn’t believe that this was just a small town with less than 20,000 people.
As Zhou Chao surveyed the entire street, he couldn’t find more than a handful of shops that seemed even remotely ordinary.
The first thing that caught Zhou Chao’s eyes was the firearms shop in the center of the town. Beside it was a gym, a red wine hotel, bars, karaoke lounges, cinemas, fishing gear shops, outdoor shops – everything for leisure and entertainment.
Zhou Chao waved to Lin Wu, who hurried over. “Boss, what’s your order?”
“Arrange for a few people to buy some vegetables, meat, and more alcohol. We need plenty of meat and drinks.” Lin Wu nodded and turned to instruct the bodyguards behind him.
Three of the bodyguards headed towards the distant market, while Zhou Chao strode into the firearms shop. Lin Wu quickly caught up.
As they entered the firearms shop, they were greeted by a wide array of firearms. The shopkeeper, a local of Bear Country, had a distinctive, beard-covered face that attracted attention.
“Hi, dear friend from Huaxia, how can I assist you?” The shopkeeper noticed the four or five bodyguards behind Zhou Chao and realized that this customer was not ordinary.
“I’m just here to see what good guns you have.” Zhou Chao looked at the shopkeeper with a faint smile.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper’s expression became somewhat awkward. Although he knew Zhou Chao’s identity was not ordinary, buying guns in Russia required a firearms license. The consequences of owning firearms without proper documentation could be severe.
Seeing the shopkeeper’s dilemma, Zhou Chao suddenly realized and fished out a red booklet from his pocket, handing it to the shopkeeper. It was the firearms permit attached to the ranch sign-in he’d obtained earlier.
Taking the firearms permit handed over by Zhou Chao, the shopkeeper examined it carefully, his eyes showing a hint of surprise. He hadn’t expected Zhou Chao to have a firearms permit. After all, such permits weren’t easy to obtain without any influence.
“Now, can I see the guns?” Zhou Chao joked.
“Of course, of course!” The shopkeeper’s face also lit up with a hospitable smile.
Although the firearms shop was large, there weren’t many guns inside, and most of them were handguns. There wasn’t even a sniper rifle in sight. Among them, the most familiar to Zhou Chao were the AK47 and the Remington M870, the famous shotgun!
“Could you show me the Remington M870 shotgun in the cabinet?” Zhou Chao pointed to the exquisitely crafted gun in the cabinet.
The shopkeeper didn’t hesitate, taking out the key from his pocket and opening the cabinet, then taking out the exquisite Remington.
“Young man, you have a good eye. This Remington M870 is a limited edition, with less than a hundred in the entire Russia. I went through a lot of trouble to get it from the States. It’s for collection purposes.”
Zhou Chao smiled at the shopkeeper’s words, half believing and half skeptical. Although the Remington M870 looked particularly exquisite, it certainly wasn’t as precious as the shopkeeper claimed.
Taking the Remington handed over by the shopkeeper, Zhou Chao began to handle it skillfully, surprising the shopkeeper. He hadn’t expected Zhou Chao to be so young yet proficient with guns.
“This gun is indeed good. How much, boss?” Zhou Chao smiled at the shopkeeper.
“Young man, I won’t sell this gun. I keep it for collection. I display it outside for everyone to see.” The shopkeeper shook his head, but a glint of avarice flashed in his eyes.
Just as Zhou Chao was about to offer more money to buy the gun, one of Lev’s subordinates hurried over and whispered a few words to him.
“Really?” Zhou Chao looked at him with surprise.
“Yes, boss!” The subordinate nodded.
The shopkeeper was quite close to Zhou Chao. Although he didn’t hear very clearly, he vaguely heard that there were many guns to play with.
Zhou Chao placed the Remington he held back on the gun cabinet. “Shopkeeper, I won’t take this gun. Sorry for wasting your time.”
The shopkeeper waved his hand with a smile. “No problem, you’re welcome to visit again.”
Zhou Chao nodded and turned to walk out of the firearms shop. After leaving the shop, Lin Wu walked up to Zhou Chao and whispered, “Boss, what were you guys whispering about just now? Why didn’t you buy it? That Remington looked pretty good.”
“Just now, that subordinate told me that they have a lot of weapons in their car, including Remington shotguns and even several sniper rifles. They even have anti-material sniper rifles. If you’re interested, we can go try them out tomorrow.”
What surprised Zhou Chao was that Lev actually had anti-material sniper rifles in his possession. It was not something ordinary people could obtain.
“Really? Boss, you better not be kidding me. It’s been a long time since I’ve played with guns. I’m looking forward to having a good time tomorrow.” Lin Wu clapped his hands excitedly.
After leaving the firearms shop, Zhou Chao continued to stroll along the main street, followed by four or five burly men. Although he noticed several girls who seemed to be tourists from China occasionally casting glances at him, none of them dared to approach and strike up a conversation..
