Henry remained still, allowing Evelyn to block his view, “What’s going on?”
This topic immediately fueled Evelyn’s anger. She began to complain, pointing at Yesenia, “She tried to seduce you and even stole my phone. It’s infuriating! If you hadn’t come, I’m sure I would have killed her on the spot.”
“No killing allowed,” Henry said, holding her hand, his expression suddenly serious.
The others standing behind him witnessed his reaction, especially Alexander. He discreetly glanced at Evelyn, feeling a sense of unease. Henry was angry…
“Henry, Evelyn is just angry, so she…” As soon as Alexander spoke, Henry took out a handkerchief and wiped Evelyn’s hand, “Hands can get dirty easily,” he said, tossing the handkerchief into the trash bin with evident disdain.
David sighed. He knew it would end up like this.
Yesenia, who had harbored a glimmer of hope while lying on the ground, “…”
Alexander now realized his concerns were unfounded.
Evelyn nodded obediently, her eyes filled with disdain, “Hitting her hurt my hand. I won’t do it again next time. Can we leave now? I’m hungry. ”
“Let’s go now.”
Henry whispered to David, “Clean up here.”
David nodded, understanding Henry’s intentions.
As Evelyn followed Henry out, Alexander stared at the gun now in her hand, “Evelyn, can you return the gun?”
“You mean this?” Evelyn raised her hand, pointing the gun directly at Alexander, who froze in fear. “Stay calm. If it accidentally fires, I’ll be dead.”
Evelyn withdrew her hand and explained in a low voice, “I was indeed planning to return it. But now, my mood isn’t great, and I need some relief.”
The meaning of “relief” naturally involves going to shoot a few rounds.
After the group had dinner at the club’s restaurant, they headed straight to the shooting range.
Evelyn randomly picked a room to enter and emptied all the bullets from her gun before coming out. Since she didn’t signal, the target didn’t return.
Thinking that she might lose face if she didn’t perform well, Alexander, after pondering for a while, managed to squeeze out a few words of praise, “Your shooting posture is both standard and handsome. Henry taught you well.”
At Alexander’s words, a flicker of surprise crossed Henry’s face. Evelyn finally woke up to reality. She glared at Alexander darkly, then turned her gaze cautiously to Henry. How could she forget that she hadn’t demonstrated her shooting skills in front of him? Was he already angry?
Alexander, oblivious to their situation, turned around to invite Noah and Matthew, “You two haven’t practiced for a while. Why not try your skills? If you can’t even beat Evelyn, it would be embarrassing.”
“That sounds good,” Matthew said, seemingly waiting for Alexander to say this. He had already chosen a gun and fired a few shots casually to test the feel. It seemed fine.
Feeling uncomfortable about losing the new car to Alexander, he shifted his focus to Evelyn, “How about a round with me?”
Seeing the scheming in Matthew’s eyes, Evelyn decided to play along, “Any stakes?”
Matthew suggested, “If I win, I get a new car, three rounds out of five.”
Though Evelyn didn’t like the idea of a new car, it could be exchanged for money, so it wasn’t a bad deal. She nodded, ready to accept, but Noah interrupted, “Wait.”
All eyes turned to him at his words.
Matthew, with keen interest, asked, “Do you want to join too?” His eyes lit up briefly. Comparing with Evelyn was already interesting, but competing with Noah added a new level of excitement.
Noah glanced at Evelyn and said, “Two cars.”
“Okay!” Matthew agreed eagerly. “Alexander, are you joining?”
Alexander quickly shook his head, clutching the car key in his pocket. “I won’t fall for your tricks. My wife has trained me well, I won’t be fooled by you.”
Matthew: “…”
“Since there are no objections, let’s begin,” Matthew said, looking at Evelyn. “Ladies first?”
Without waiting for Evelyn’s response, David walked over and handed her the best-handling gun, “Madam.”
“The latest 9M?” Evelyn glanced disdainfully at it, unfortunately, it was her least favorite type. “You take it if you like.”
Looking at the entire wall of models, she picked up a hefty one with strong recoil, “This one will do.”
Though it had a strong recoil, the feel was excellent, and it was easy to get addicted to.
Behind her, realizing the model Evelyn chose, David’s face turned pale. With such a big gun, wasn’t she afraid of being knocked over the moment she fired the bullets? He wanted to step forward and give a reminder, but Evelyn glared at him, silencing him.
David, looking at the direction of the target, suddenly remembered that he had a friend responsible for retrieving targets…
He saw that Evelyn had already fired ten shots and quietly went outside to make a phone call.
“That’s impressive. Handling something with such a strong recoil so stably,” Matthew genuinely praised.
He didn’t believe Evelyn could hit the targets. After all, 79KM was something even he and Noah struggled with.
At this moment, Noah had also finished shooting. Seeing the relaxed expression on his face, Matthew knew he had done well.
Walking up to the shooting platform, Matthew concentrated, took careful aim for a long time, and then fired several shots in quick succession.
“Phew.” Matthew took a deep breath and looked at Noah with raised eyebrows, “It’s been too long since I touched it. You’re lucky this time. Next time it won’t be so easy.”
“Excuse,” Noah said with a scornful expression.
At this time, the staff brought the targets over. Noah had nine bullseyes and one nine, while Matthew had eight bullseyes, one nine, and one eight. He was currently losing.
It was Evelyn’s turn, and everyone was surprised, including Evelyn herself, who wore an incredulous expression.
Seeing this, David breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Madam was satisfied, that was good.
“Nine bullseyes, one nine, just like Noah. You’re amazing,” Alexander sincerely praised.
Noah’s expression noticeably darkened.
Matthew, with a look of enjoying the show, said, “So, this round is a draw between you two?”
“No, it doesn’t count.” Evelyn, with a dark expression, looked at everyone present in dissatisfaction and said, “Who swapped out my target?”
She was too excited, making it hard for anyone nearby to catch their breath.
The group exchanged glances, all turning their gaze towards Henry. He was the only one left who could possibly stand up for Evelyn.
Henry’s gaze remained indifferent, as if he were completely unaware of the situation.
After a moment, David quietly stepped forward, “Um, It’s me. I just… don’t want you to lose too badly.”
“Who said I would lose?” Evelyn shot him a fierce glance, “So, there’s a reason why you can’t find a girlfriend. Mind your own business.”
“Uh, Evelyn, don’t be angry. David was just trying to help.” Alexander chuckled, attempting to defuse the situation, “I knew your performance couldn’t be on par with Noah’s. He’s been practicing since he was ten. A draw is equivalent to losing to you, which is really embarrassing.”
As he finished speaking, a knock echoed on the door, and Evelyn’s target was returned.
Alexander turned his head and his expression froze, “Is this… is this Evelyn’s target?” The entire target had only one bullet hole, and those who knew about shooting understood that it was caused by ten shots in one hole.
Shooting a ten-shot group with a 79KM? Impossible!
“Evelyn, are you sure this isn’t the target you used to cheat?” Alexander asked cautiously.
Evelyn gave him a glance that provided a clear answer. Alexander immediately shut up, still finding it hard to believe.
“It’s the bullet trace of 79KM,” Noah spoke after a moment.
The bullets from the 79KM weren’t traditional smooth surface ones, so the resulting bullet holes also had indentations. Neither he nor Matthew had used similar bullets..
“So, you mean to say that Evelyn is really this amazing? You lost to her?” Alexander looked at Henry, who was also examining Evelyn with a scrutinizing gaze.
In the corner, David, feeling both awkward and amazed, sighed.
Evelyn smiled satisfactorily and picked another gun, “For the second round, let’s play with moving targets. I’ll go first.”
With that, she walked towards the shooting platform with the challenging firearm in hand.
After three rounds, Noah’s expression grew darker with each passing moment.
Matthew felt sorry for himself. He walked up to Evelyn, “Today, I already gave one car to Alexander. Your car, I’ll buy it for you another day.”
“No need for that,” Evelyn waved her hand to stop him, “I don’t want to keep such an ugly thing in the garage. Just wire the money directly to me.”
“Sure, that works,” Matthew replied.
Noah, with an expressionless face, walked over. “Account.”
Evelyn said, “Transfer it to my honey.”
After saying that, she walked towards Henry, happily saying, “I’m exhausted. Can we leave now?”
“Sure,” Henry’s gaze was intense.
As they exited and got into the Rolls-Royce, before the car started, the partition in the middle slowly rose.
Evelyn:… Why did she feel a bit… dangerous?
