Answer:
The most reasonable plot prediction is that Huck will confidently face his father.
Explanation:
The evidence on the excerpt suggests that something has clicked in Huck and he has encounter a new strenght of mind to face an old conflict. For instance: "I used to be scared of him all the time, he tanned me so much. I reckoned I was scared now, too; but in a minute I see I was mistaken". Huck recognises a fear and a situation with which he is familiar, yet he feels differently. Also: "... but right away after I see I warn't scared of him worth bothring about." This is the realisation that the situation no longer controls him but the other way around, so it is safe to assume that he'll be able to deal with it differently (whereas before he was scared and vulnerable, now he is more determined and confident).
