Chapter 1807 - 1807 A Complete Embarrassment
1807 A Complete Embarrassment
The speed of the live target directly affected the difficulty of shooting it. Also, the shooter had to determine the target distance and its path prior to firing the weapon.
Even the slightest deviation would affect the result.
Since she was using a rookie gun, its abilities were not as good as more advanced weapons.
Hence, Eldest Elder was certain that Huo Yao would lose to Huo Wanying during the shooting round.
Anyone else would have felt the same way.
However, Huo Yao was quite confident about this. When she fired the gun, she looked even more relaxed than Huo Wanying.
With each shot she fired, the bullets seemed to come to life. Every bullet disregarded the resistance and the difficulty to reach its target going straight for the bull’s eye right at the center.
Before long, in less than a minute, her results were announced by the system. She had hit the target at the bull’s eye six times.
Other than the announcement, no other sound could be heard in the entire firing range. The atmosphere was simply eerie.
Something changed on Huo Wanying’s proud face when she heard the results. She clenched her fists tightly even as they hung from the sides of her body.
It was a live target at full speed, but Huo Yao had hit the bull’s eye six times. Considering this result, it was probably impossible for Huo Wanying to achieve the same thing even if she practiced for ten more years.
Huo Wanying lowered her eyes. Her shooting abilities were her pride and joy, but now… she was nothing.
Huo Wanying laughed in self-deprecation and turned to leave.
All eyes were on Huo Yao, so Huo Wanying’s departure was like a leaf falling on water, garnering zero attention.
“Young Master Yulin, didn’t you say Miss Huo only learned to shoot during university military training?” Xie was at a loss and in a complete daze as he muttered.
She had only learned to shoot during university military training. Was she already able to shoot like a professional?
It was a live target, but she got the bull’s eye for every shot!
Just think about it!
Xie had a lot of question marks on his face.
Huo Yulin was equally at a loss when the question was posed at him. He automatically pretended he heard nothing.
What could he say, right?
Could he tell him his little sister was a good liar?
Huo Yulin could not find it in his heart to be happy just thinking about it.
No wonder his little sister bragged that she had a talent for shooting. From the looks of it, she was genuinely good at it.
Huo Yao did not know that she had offended her brother already. She threw the gun back on the table and turned to walk off the shooting platform.
When she made eye contact with her third older brother’s dark eyes, she was startled.
Oh no. She had gone overboard with her lies this time around.
Huo Yao reached her hand out and pushed her lips up into a bright smile as she walked over to him. “Brother Yulin, I can explain…”
“You mean you can make more excuses, right?” Huo Yulin scoffed and exposed her without hesitation.
Huo Yao felt stunned by the look on his face.
It was not easy to make everyone happy.
…
Meanwhile, it was eerily quiet in the surveillance room as well.
After some time, Huo Changfeng finally snapped out of his astonishment.
A couple of days ago, he had tried to comfort the young woman telling her to just fire a few random shots and admit defeat. Now, it felt like a real slap on his face.
“From the looks of it, you don’t know everything.” Huo Jinfeng scoffed at Huo Changfeng for the third time today while sitting in a wheelchair.
Huo Changfeng was quiet.
He had a feeling that his boss was never going to drop this topic.
Huo Changfeng touched his forehead. He pondered briefly and decided to divert his boss’s attention elsewhere. “I genuinely didn’t know she could shoot. I think her man… I mean the man courting her… must have taught her recently.”
He made emphasis on the word ‘courting’, so Huo Jinfeng got distracted and his face promptly turned serious. “Who?”
