Yesterday, using the revolver you gave me, I took three lives!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little John pulled out a small revolver from his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small revolver's body was covered with strange graffiti, as if custom-made for someone Little John's age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very dangerous toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Loren stopped walking, crouched down, looked at Little John, and asked seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And today? Little John.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to answer Loren's question, Little John ran away somewhat ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after running some distance, Little John turned back and shouted to Loren:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Loren! I'll work hard!! I won't disappoint your expectations!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing such a vibrant declaration, Loren's face showed a genuine smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren made a fist-pump gesture of encouragement toward Little John in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheering on this young soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Loren's encouraging gesture, Little John laughed excitedly and ran off, leaving only these words in the wind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Loren! I'm off to work too!! I hope your work goes well today!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Loren's face deepened once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May we both be fortunate enough, Little John.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-03T08:20:30.964Z","2026-06-03T08:20:39.668Z",1,"novelbin.me","1fdaaac48d5ec952e00bc0bb4faa06146fe42e40d2ad2a5b5a80d1c236836ea9","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-9","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-7",388,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-cover.jpg"]
