Chapter 283 Perfect Shot

As Anthony’s results came in, the tension could be felt from a mile away.

He hit the bullseye seven times and three nine out of ten attempts. It was a commendable effort, however….

Xavier couldn’t help but smirk as he observed the outcome. “Missed three bullseyes, huh? Seems like your boast about a bullseye–only score saving you from consequences was talk.”

Anthony, fuming with anger, nearly threw his phone gun directly at Xavier’s face, retorting. “Oh, you think you’re so superior? Just wait until I get Jordan to deal with you!”

Xavier remained unfazed by the threat, coolly responding. “Well, if he’s coming for my legs, you better watch yours first.”

His eyes then narrowed down on Anthony’s long limbs, almost calculating his next move.

“Bring it on, Xavier! Do you think I’m afraid of you? Today’s the day you’ll learn about real consequences,” Anthony challenged, his anger bubbling over.

Before Xavier could prepare, Anthony was on him, delivering a solid punch to his face.

The unexpected assault took everyone by surprise, Xavier included.

The force behind Anthony’s angry punch shocked Xavier, immediately causing his face to puff up. But Xavier, with his age and military background, quickly got control of the situation and managed to restrain Anthony.

Other instructors quickly gathered, pulling Anthony back and helping Xavier to his feet after noticing the disturbance.

Xavier dabbed at his hurt lip, grimacing from the pain with every touch.

Is he always this volatile?

Anthony, fighting against those holding him back, yelled, “Come on, face me one–on–one if you dare. It’s cowardly to call for backup!”

He nearly managed to break free due to his strength.

The instructors hesitated to apply too much force because he was from the Burnetts. They turned to Xavier, uncertain, asking, “Instructor, your orders?”

With a bruised face but firm resolve, Xavier commanded. “For assaulting a superior and breaking conduct, he must pen a 6,000–word self–reflection and face the wall for five hours under watch. No completion, no food.”

The instructors quickly agreed to this.

Despite the harshness, Xavier was clearly somewhat lenient with his brother.

He then looked at Milly and Lucius, stating, “Only you two are left. Let’s wrap this up fast.

Chapter 283 Perfect Shot

A red bullseye appeared.

He effortlessly landed all ten shots on the bullseye, leaving everyone around stunned or sceptical about a glitch in the system.

Lucius earned immediate respect for his shooting accuracy.

Nonetheless, Xavier kept his cool, showing no reaction,

As the Scathings‘ prospective leader, Lucius’s childhood was filled with extensive shooting practice, making bullseyes almost routine for him.

At this moment, a tall, crew–cutted man with a small scar on his forehead walked up to Xavier. “Lieutenant, this guy’s got serious skills. Despite his young age, he’s pulled off some impressive feats. Could you see if he’d be up for joining my squad as a sniper?”

Xavier raised an eyebrow and looked at the man. “Don’t you already have plenty of snipers?”

The crew–cut man laughed and rubbed his head. “Finding good snipers isn’t easy nowadays. The ones I’ve got are decent, but none have this kid’s raw talent. It’d be a real waste not to give him a shot. Mind asking him for me?” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Without missing a beat, Xavier responded, “He won’t say yes.

The man was taken aback.

Was he getting denied that quickly?

“Lieutenant, if you don’t help me, I’ll talk to him myself. Since he’s in your unit, I didn’t want to step on your toes. It’s not fair to say no to him. What if he wants to serve his country but doesn’t know how to start? I’ll go ask…

“His granddad is Commander Scathings,” Xavier cut in.

The man froze.

“Wait, Commander Scathings? The one I’m thinking of?”

Xavier just nodded. “Which other Scathings could be a Commander?

“Try talking to him then. Soon enough, you’ll be getting called for a private talk. How much can you hide until it’s all out in the open?”

The man stayed silent.

The idea of secretly bringing Commander Scathings’s only grandson into the forces made him question his plan.

Imagining a room full of high–ranking officers grilling him made him shiver. He might even spill some secrets he’d rather keep!

No, it was too big a gamble.

“Hehe, so it’s Mr. Scathings. Well, forget it then.” With that, he quickly walked away.

Xavier watched his target hit the mark, nodded, and then looked at Lucius. “Your penalty is lifted. Get back to the team.”

He then turned to Milly. You, come here.”

Milly frowned and stepped up, gearing up for what was coming.

Holding the gun, she wasn’t afraid of what might happen next. Feeling the cold metal in her hands, a rush of excitement went through her.

A voice inside her seemed to say. ‘Been a while, old friend.

Standing beside her, arms crossed, Xavier said, “I won’t make this hard on you. Hit the target anywhere, and you pass.

Milly exhaled softly. “You sure expect a lot from me.”
