Shooting Range.
Carl thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't seem to like it as much as before."
Dexter smiled. "That's good. When you have time, you can think about how to make money. If you have any ideas, feel free to come to me anytime. Maybe I can help you."
When it came to doing business, if it weren't for the system, Dexter actually wasn't very good at it.
The problem was, he had the system, and he also had money!
Leaving the system aside, just the fact of having money... money meant a high tolerance for error. So, let Carl experiment slowly. It wasn't a big deal.
"Okay," Carl was very happy and nodded heavily.
The two chatted for a while longer before Carl went back to work. Dexter rested a bit more, then got up and went into the kitchen to continue cooking.
...
Time flew. Lip and Mandy arrived.
Lip called Karen, found out her location, hung up, and turned to Mandy. "Look around by yourself. After I finish talking to Karen, I'll find you."
Mandy didn't want to separate from Lip, but she also understood in her heart that appearing in front of Karen would only cause trouble for Lip. She nodded and agreed. "Okay."
Lip didn't say more and walked quickly toward Karen's location.
Karen was sitting under a big tree with Jody. Because of Dexter's promise not long ago, Karen was in a very good mood. Therefore, seeing Lip, she took the initiative to smile.
Seeing Karen and Jody—especially Jody, a guy who looked stupid just by appearance—Lip's expression naturally changed slightly. Then, ignoring Jody, he said to Karen, "Can we talk alone?"
Karen had no objection and spoke to send Jody away. "Jody, go look around."
"Are you sure? I can stay here with you," Jody had witnessed Lip going crazy last time he accompanied Karen to the juvenile detention center and was worried.
Karen smiled beautifully and nodded. "It's fine. Don't go far, just wander around nearby."
"Alright," Jody got up and left.
Subsequently, Lip sat next to Karen, took out his cigarettes, lit one, and asked, "Are you and this Jody officially settled?"
Karen smiled back. "None of your business."
Lip really loved Karen. Hearing this, his heart ached, but he couldn't say much, so he forced a smile. "Fair enough... Let's talk about this child. Let's talk about your thoughts and my thoughts."
"Your thoughts?" Karen smiled. "Go ahead."
What Lip cared about was Karen, not the unborn child. fundamentally, he wanted Karen to get an abortion.
However, Lip wasn't that stupid. He knew he couldn't say it directly like that, so he opened his mouth and spoke in a roundabout way.
Karen listened quietly, then realized what he was getting at. "Wait, you want me to get an abortion?"
Hearing this, Lip was startled. He didn't expect Karen to catch on. "No, I mean..."
Slap~~
Before Lip could finish, Karen slapped him across the face. "You self-righteous bastard. How stupid do you think I am that I can't understand what you mean?"
Suddenly slapped, his cheek burning, Lip was dazed for an instant, then angry. Subconsciously, he had the impulse to explode.
But in a flash, Lip held it back. With a tight face, he explained, "I mean, if you choose to give birth to the child, I will definitely take my responsibility. I want to marry you. If you choose abortion, I will accompany you and take good care of you."
"I am not persuading you to get an abortion."
"Heh," Karen sneered. "Do you want to hear my thoughts?"
Lip nodded immediately.
Karen didn't waste time and spoke up. "My thought is that you are a very, very rotten man, even more rotten than Frank!"
"At least Frank is rotten openly and clearly."
"You, on the other hand, are self-righteous, think you're smart, treat everyone else like idiots, do shameless things, yet feel you are always right."
"If this child has a father like you, his life is truly over!"
Hearing these words.
Lip's face turned red rapidly, veins on his forehead bulging, his body trembling with anger...
I am more rotten than that scumbag Frank?
For Lip, this was simply a hellish nightmare!!!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!
Lip absolutely refused to accept it!
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Lip's expression was incredibly ferocious, glaring at Karen with eyes spitting fire, his teeth grinding.
Karen met Lip's gaze without the slightest fear.
Lip really wanted to scream, even had the urge to get physical.
But in the end, Lip still held back. Opening his mouth, he spoke, saying word by word to Karen, "You are pregnant, your mind isn't clear."
"I am not Frank. I have nothing to do with that scumbag!"
"I came to find you to have a good talk about this child. If you insist on saying this, then I have nothing to say to you!"
"Wish you a good future with that idiot Jody!"
Gritting his teeth and saying all this in one breath, Lip stood up and walked away quickly with heavy steps.
Karen remained sitting under the big tree, looking at Lip's back, and smiled brilliantly.
'Idiot,' Karen said in her heart.
Not far away.
Clearly seeing Lip's performance, to be honest, Dexter was genuinely surprised. At the same time, he couldn't help but shake his head laughing, feeling that if Lip continued to hold it in like this, he would turn into a Ninja Turtle sooner or later.
Then, looking at Lip walking away quickly, Dexter inexplicably thought of a sentence.
'Explode in silence, or perish in silence.'
This sentence seemed quite appropriate for Lip.
Five or six minutes later.
Lip found Mandy. Before long, the two found a hidden corner.
Lip fxxked Mandy fiercely, using Mandy as a tool to vent his anger.
Pathetic Mandy didn't realize it at all.

Time flew by.
Evening was approaching.
Grocery Store.
Kash, looking forward to this date, smiled sweetly at Ian. "Ian, tidy up, let's go."
Ian, equally looking forward to it, decisively returned a very uke smile. "Okay."
...
Having spent half a day with Frank and Debbie, the fool Samantha, who thought Frank was a good man, suddenly realized it was almost evening and was surprised. "Oh, Frank, I have to take Chuckie to play at that shooting range. How about we meet again tomorrow?"
Having worked so hard for so long to finally bamboozle Samantha thoroughly, Frank wasn't at ease separating like this. He smiled without hesitation. "Coincidence. I also plan to take Debbie to play there. Let's go together then."
"What a coincidence," Samantha also didn't want to separate from Frank. She immediately smiled brilliantly. "Okay."
Soon.
The four moved toward the shooting range.
...
In Jimmy's newly rented house.
Jimmy had no interest in the concert or shooting.
Fiona hated Dexter and had absolutely no desire to attend that party either.
The two's life continued as usual.
---
Inside the Shooting Range.
Dexter checked the time, then looked up at the sky and grinned.
A lot of people are going to die tonight.
