Two practice bullets consecutively landed on the target board five meters away. However, both only struck a 5, which could be perfectly justified by the fact that this was her first day of training.

The system's reply made her feel helpless. She'd been shooting for hours yet she only hit 5 seven times. Of course, Sofony knew she was just starting. However, she couldn't help the feeling because she was anxious about whether Clarissa and other hostile parties would wait for her to learn the skill.

"You're doing good. It seems you have some talent for this, Miss Silver," complimented one of the young men nearby.

All of them were in a very s.p.a.cious room filled with part.i.tioned off-stalls. Everyone was wearing earplugs and eye protection.

"I don't think so. But thanks," she politely said before she went back to practice.

Daniel Miller, the one who spoke earlier, didn't mind her perfunctory reply and continued, "By the way, I saw that you are by yourself. Are you free this noon? I'd love to treat you for lunch."

Sofony gazed weirdly at the man, her two hands still positioned in front with the practice gun. From what she learned from the system, he was a relative of the Abenson. What was he doing? Why act close to someone he just met an hour ago?

Because of this, she stopped aiming and turned her head to the left, "Mr. Miller, aren't you supposed to avoid me because I am a Silver?"

The underlying meaning was, 'I am a Silver, don't pretend you don't know because you're the son of an Abenson. In short, we're enemies.'

He laughed, "No, why should I? It's an honor to speak with someone as beautiful as you, why should I avoid you?"

Either due to the system's comment or Daniel's statement, Sofony almost frowned. But even though she managed to remain calm-looking, her heart was still definitely raging from irritation. It caused her tone to be slightly higher and sharp, "It's my honor to be praised by someone like you. But my apologies, I already have plans this afternoon."

"Oh, that's just sad. But fine. I believe fate led us to each other which this means we'll eventually have some opportunities to deepen our relations.h.i.+p. So how about a dinner tomorrow?"

She fired a bullet. But probably because she got distracted, it didn't even hit a 5 this time. She couldn't mask her emotions when she replied in a cold voice, "No."

"Oh, it seems you also have plans tomorrow. And I suppose it will also be hard to invite you on weekdays since you're a student. Ahem, how about we both compromise and have lunch tomorrow?"

He successfully stunned the pretty and long-haired girl.

Sofony couldn't help but ask herself why her luck stat seemed to be not working today. Why did she have to encounter someone like this guy at times like this? And what was he planning?

And just because she rejected the dinner, he moved the time to lunch? Is he trying to be funny? What compromise? And why was n.o.body helping her fend this guy off?

Ignoring the system, she cleared her throat and asked, "Ahm, Mr. Miller. What do you think are you doing? Are you possibly taking me for an ignorant girl who doesn't know that you're a relative of the Abensons? Don't fool me, please. You won't approach me without any rhyme or reason."

This time, it was the man who became a bit dumbfounded.

Daniel Miller's connection with the Abensons was a secret even to some affluent families. After all, not many knew they're interconnected through marriage. The marriage was between an illegitimate and unknown daughter of the former Abenson's head and the sickly fourth young master of the Millers. The Miller family never publicized this marriage so not many knew that Daniel Miller was Lara Abenson's cousin. People only knew he was from the Miller, with some a.s.suming he was an illegitimate son of the current head.

Because Lara Abenson was perfectly aware of this, she asked him to help her get her revenge. Lara was blaming her scandals to Sofony. Or maybe she just couldn't accept she couldn't be with her beloved Gio anymore.

He didn't know, but since he was a good cousin, he readily agreed. Anyway, all he had to do was record some s.e.x scenes with Sofony Silver. Then he'd upload their videos online, with his face naturally mosaiced.

Daniel would get to enjoy a beautiful girl's body and earn favor from the mayor's family. Sounds tempting, right?

So he accepted the request. He planned to drug the girl once she showed up at the agreed place. In his mind, it should be easy because the other was just a 17 years old girl.

Precisely due to this thought that he'd been caught off-guard by Sofony's words, especially after she revealed she knew about his blood connection with the Abensons. Thankfully, he had been mingling with pretentious people since young, so he managed to easily control his bewilderment. He even managed to laugh in a natural manner.

"Miss Silver, I don't know what you're talking about. How did I become the mayor's relative when no one from my family ever got married to the Abensons? You must be mistaking me for someone else. Haha. Anyways, are we on for tomorrow's lunch?"

Sofony stared at the man, somehow amazed by his persistence and skillful evading of the question. She thought this Daniel should have been a nice catch for any woman because of his good looks. However, his att.i.tude and playboy behavior greatly turned her off. And this was without factoring the fact that he was already married.

She really pitied this guy's wife. They're still so young yet this sc.u.m man was already cheating.

'This fellow is no good. He's no way comparable to Gio. He's also suspicious because he just suddenly approached me despite knowing who I am. Doesn't he know I'm also Gio's rumored girl?' she thought after shaking her head.

She then activated her Hypnosis. Looking directly at the man's eyes, she said, "Mr. Miller, I'm sorry but I'm not free. In fact, I will never have time for a meal with you. But I'm sure you won't mind, right? You also won't mind not having dinner or lunch with any other girl for a year, right? Oh, before I forgot, this means you can't 'do' any girl for a year. I'm sure you're okay with that, right?"

The man's eyes lost focus for a while, replying, "Sure! No problem!"

When Daniel came back to his senses, he only felt confused for a few seconds then went back to pestering Sofony for a date in an amus.e.m.e.nt park or any fun places. His shamelessness made her speechless again, leaving her with no choice but make him go away through hypnosis. This was after rejecting his offer to tutor her on how to improve her marksmans.h.i.+p.

In the near future, due to Sofony's actions, this guy would really not be able to bed any of his mistresses. His rod would also not get up for his wife. Because of this, his already unsteady relations.h.i.+p with his wife would lead to a divorce. Reason? Impotence.

Once this matter became the talk of the town, the system would then say to her,

After hearing this, she would be speechless for a moment, '... What? Wait, give me some time to remember... Oh, it's really my fault. That time I probably forgot to say 'aside from his wife' at the end of my command. Ugh, all I want is him to not play around anymore. But, anyway, I still probably did well. You know, no cheating man deserves a devoted and decent wife...'

Of course, that would be in the far future.

For now, Sofony was more inclined to worry about her marksmans.h.i.+p, hoping this would give her some piece of mind in case that hostile b.i.t.c.hy host strikes at her again!

And so without the noisy man pestering and distracting her, she raised the gun again and aimed at the target.

"Bang!"
