Ashley smiled slightly and deliberately played coy, saying, “Guess.””

Joseph was speechless.

He thought to himself, ‘Don’t leave me hanging like this!”

The people who came to this club were all wealthy or famous. Somet recognized Bryce and Ashley as celebrities and only glanced curiously, without crowding around them, despite their recent online fame.

The guns at this shooting range were very realistic, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

With high spirits, Bryce stood at the track. “Ashley, let us each take three shots. Whoever scores higher wins.”

Ashley replied, “Okay.”

Bryce didn’t dawdle. He picked up the gun next to him and aimed at the target with a very cool and professional posture, obviously

well-practiced.

After aiming, he decisively pulled the trigger. With a bang, the bullet shot

out.

The shooting range was equipped with electronic scorekeepers. As soon. as the bullet hit its target, the nearby electronic screen quickly displayed the result: [10 points.]

Bryce fired two more shots, and the scorer displayed: [10 points, 10 points.]

So, after three shots, Bryce scored 10 points on each.

Joseph gave a thumbs up. “You’re damn too good! Every shot’s perfect!”

Bryce didn’t know what to say.

He thought to himself, ‘Nice praise, but don’t flatter me like that again.

Knowing Joseph’s playful and carefree character, Bryce accepted this unconventional compliment with ease.

Bryce looked towards Ashley with a teasing smile. “How about that?”

Ashley nodded. “Very good.”

She thought to herself, ‘His skills are genuinely impressive. It’s amazing for someone to hit a 10-pointer.

“But to hit three consecutive 10-pointers is not something an ordinary person can achieve.

Joseph suddenly interrupted, waving his fist, “Ashley, I can praise him, but you shouldn’t! Don’t boost his ego and dampen your spirit. Go on. Beat him!”

Bryce was at a loss for words.

He thought. Why do I feel like Joseph is so biased?”

Joseph was just joking. After all, with Bryce scoring 10 points on every shot, even if Ashley was a good shooter, how could she surpass him?

“Ashley, you should just…”

Before Joseph could finish, Ashley raised her gun and fired three shots without even aiming.

The scorer displayed.

[10 points.]

[10 points.]

[10 points.]

Joseph’s eyes widened in shock, his face dumbfounded.

He thought to himself. ‘Holy crap, that was fast!

‘I hadn’t even finished speaking, and she fired three shots without aiming!

‘She hit 10 points on each shot so quickly!”

“Ashley, you’re too fast! I don’t even shoot this fast in video games! No exaggeration, you could match a professional sniper!”

Joseph couldn’t stop praising her, chattering away.

Bryce was energized, suddenly excited, thinking, ‘Ashley’s shooting skills. are truly extraordinary!

‘Without aiming to hit consecutive 10-pointers, and so swiftly.

‘It took me at least thirty seconds to make those three shots.

‘But it took Ashley less than a second from shooting to finishing!”

“Ashley, you…”

Bryce couldn’t finish his sentence, filled with immense admiration for Ashley’s shooting skills..

But this also meant that he had lost to Ashley in this contest, which was frustrating for him.

Ashley glanced at Bryce, struck by an idea, and raised her pistol again. towards the target.

target.

But this time, the scoreboard showed:

[6.2 points.]

[5.5 points.]

[3.6 points.]

Joseph was momentarily dumbfounded, thinking to himself, ‘What’s going on?’

Bryce was also at a loss.

But the next moment, Bryce’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Surprisingly, the spots where Ashley had hit the target formed the shape

of a star.

Joseph gasped in amazement.

He thought, ‘Holy cow, how is this even possible?’

“Ashley, are you shooting or drawing!”

Joseph was utterly impressed. He had seen and experienced all sorts of things in his life, but this was the first time he had seen someone draw on a shooting target!

She had drawn a star!

He thought, ‘Could this be any more astonishing?

‘Her shooting skills are beyond words!

‘It’s something ordinary people just can’t do.

“Wait, she drew a star on the targets?

‘Doesn’t Bryce like stars?”

Suddenly, Joseph felt irked, turned around, and blocked Ashley’s path. “I’m upset now! The kind of upset that’s not easily soothed! You can’t just draw a star for him! I want one, too!”

Ashley asked, “What do you want? If your favorite pattern is too complex, it might not be possible to draw it for me.”

Joseph raised an eyebrow, had a suave and charming smile, but said, “My lucky number is 2. Can you shoot a pattern 2 for me?”

Ashley chuckled inwardly.

She thought, “This silly guy!’

Ashley raised her pistol with ease and fired several shots at the ad target, perfectly outlining the shape of a number 2.

Joseph was very

Satisfied. “Not bad. Very nice! I like it!”

Ashley was speechless.

In delight at his pattern 2, Joseph couldn’t resist snapping a photo with his phone, feeling the urge to show off on Twitter.

After tweeting, he turned around and noticed Bryce still intently staring at the star on the target.

Just as Joseph was about to call out to him, he caught sight of a few people not far away.

Joseph, stunned, looked over with narrowed eyes and chuckled disdainfully.

He thought, “What a small world..

To run into disagreeable people even here!

Joseph whispered, nudging Ashley with his elbow, reminding her,

“Ashley, look over there. It’s Matthew, Jeremy, and Jessica.”

Upon hearing this, Ashley looked over with an expressionless face.

Jeremy, spotting Ashley from afar, ran over excitedly.

“Ashley! Are you here to have fun too?

“I’ve been calling you every day, but I’m always on your block list. Ashley, can you stop blocking me? I promise not to bother you!”

Jeremy knew Ashley blocked him but still couldn’t help calling her several times a day.

He hoped that maybe Ashley would unblock him someday.

However, every call he made was unsuccessful. Ashley never unblocked

him.

Jeremy was neither discouraged nor disappointed, thinking, ‘It’s because I was too bad in the past. I’ve hurt Ashley deeply.

“It’s understandable that Ashley doesn’t want to forgive me just yet.

Matthew, following behind and seeing Jeremy so submissive to Ashley, was irritated. “Jeremy, why are you so subservient before this dam

woman…”

“Shut up!” Jeremy interrupted Matthew before Matthew could finis gave him a stern look.

“Matthew, Ashley is my biological sister, my only sister. I won’t allow to speak ill of her! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Matthew frowned, “Jeremy.”

Jessica, biting her l*p with discontent, thought, Jeremy used to defend met like this, but now, he’s all about protecting that wretch Ashley.

After reprimanding him, Jeremy turned back to Ashley, hastily

explaining, “Ashley, I didn’t come here to hang out with them. Now, just seeing Jessica annoys me.”

Jessica, who thought she had misheard, bit her l*p even harder.

Without paying any attention to them, Jeremy looked at Ashley, full of care and concern.

“Ashley, I came with them just to keep an eye on them, to prevent Matthew and Jessica from plotting against you.”

Matthew was stunned upon being mentioned by Jeremy.

Jessica thought she had misheard.
