Mason Nightshade chuckled and asked back, "You think you'll lose?"

"It's not certain."

His smile grew more indulgent, "Then I must not be a good teacher. I'll definitely train you hard and teach you."

"Why do I even need to learn this?" Aurelia Shaw mumbled, closing one eye and aiming at the target again.

Mason stood behind her, lifted her arm, and adjusted her waist, correcting her stance.

His low voice rumbled in his throat, "You might need it for future spy films."

BANG!

A gunshot rang out.

6.8 rings.

Aurelia raised her eyebrows at him, "You affected my score."

"I'm honored to even affect you, my dear," Mason said with a low laugh, feeling his mood lift just by seeing the light twinkling in her eyes.

It's so nice to have her by his side.

About half an hour later, Raymond Cooper and the others came back from the tea room. Seeing the two still practicing, Raymond generously offered, "How about I give you a few more days before we compete?"

"No need," Aurelia replied casually, putting away her gun.

This one's too arrogant, clearly never experienced failure. It's good to humble him a little.

Raymond, donning his gear, turned to ask her, "Do you want me to give you a one-point advantage?"

"Sure." Aurelia agreed with a smile.

Raymond was stunned; he thought with her personality, she'd surely decline. No, anyone would decline, but she accepted!

"Huh?" Raymond laughed in surprise, "Really want me to give you a lead?"

Aurelia's smile was bright, "You've been handling guns longer, much more seasoned. Are you really planning on bullying a novice like me? Giving one point isn't a loss, but if I beat you, you'd better worry about your reputation, young master."

Raymond was left speechless and laughed, pointing at Aurelia while facing Knox and Stephen Leigh, "Haha, interesting. I've never met someone so unexpected."

If she weren't Mason Nightshade's wife, he'd definitely make a move! Yes, anyone's but Mason's wife and he'd pursue her just to taste this flavor.

Although he thought this way, in his heart, he already recognized Aurelia—But not from a man's perspective towards a woman, rather establishing her a place among friends.

"Who's going first?" Raymond asked.

He initially thought Aurelia would jump at the chance to go first, being someone who likes to show off. She's clever, just like Mason, a terrifying presence yet so likable.

But contrary to his expectations, Aurelia raised an eyebrow and nodded to him, "You go first."

Turning around, she looked at the other two sitting on the sofa enjoying the show, "Mason should avoid bias; you two be the judges."

Stephen Leigh lit another cigarette, nodded with a smile on his lips.

Knox's interest was piqued too, watching the scene with excitement.

"Alright, I'll go first."

Raymond put on his gear, lifted his pistol, his gaze sharp, stance steady like stone. After two seconds of silence, "Bang!" the gun fired, and the electronic target showed a new record.

10.7 rings.

Almost hit 10 rings.

He put away his gun, smiling smugly.

Aurelia paid him no mind, raising her own gun. Raymond immediately restrained his smile, and the two on the couch subconsciously straightened their backs, watching intently.

BANG!

The bullet shot out!

The electronic target showed 7.58 rings.
