Not wanting to participate in this, Jared quietly made his way over to the couch in the back.
The shooting range was usually crowded with the wealthy, young people of Lake City.
As such, it was rather strange seeing it so empty.
Cassandra wasnât all that surprised, though.
After all, she knew that Ashlyn was a woman of few words and had a preference for quiet places.
âSo, shall we play by the usual rules, Boss? You give me a one-round head start, and we compare our total score after six shots?â Cassandra asked while tuning her gun.
Because of how ridiculously skilled Ashlyn was, her subordinates would always ask for a one-round head start when competing against her.
Even with the head start, they were never able to beat her at shooting.
âYeah,â Ashlyn replied casually without giving it much thought.
Cassandra shuddered when she saw Ashlynâs response. Boss just agreed to my request without any hesitation whatsoever! She mustâve improved a lot, then!
âWait, no! You need to be blindfolded, Boss! I wonât compete unless you shoot while blindfolded!â she exclaimed shamelessly.
Ashlyn shot her a nonchalant glance as she took the blindfold over.
Instead of feeling ashamed of her ridiculous request, Cassandra said in the most matter-of-fact tone possible, âYou have only your insane shooting skills to blame, Boss! I donât stand a chance of winning at all! I know Iâm not as good as you are, but I want to win at least once! Will you please just put this on? Youâll definitely miss some shots if you canât see the target, right?â
Ashlyn knew that the blindfold wouldnât stop her from winning, but she decided to play along since Cassandra had begged her to.
âI will teach you the definition of despair,â she said with a faint smile.
What did she just say to me?
Hearing that only caused Cassandra to become even more excited. âOh, I wonât lose! Thereâs no way Iâd lose!â
Boss canât possibly win if she canât even see the target! Iâll be able to beat Boss for sure!
âIâll go first!â Cassandra said with a serious look on her face while holding her gun up.
Bang!
The bullet hit the target right on the bullâs eye, scoring her ten points.
âHaha! I think Iâm doing great today, Boss!â Cassandra exclaimed with a gleeful grin.
Ashlyn took one glance at the target before putting her blindfold on and straightening her posture.
Because she was 1.7 meters, she was a lot taller than most other women out there.
Cassandra, on the other hand, looked like a child with her baby face and short stature. That resulted in a huge contrast between them, especially when they were standing next to each other.
Ashlyn was exuding such a powerful aura that Cassandra felt as though the air had frozen up.
Bang!
The bullet hit the bullâs eye and went right through the target, scoring her ten points as well.
Cassandra couldnât help but feel a little depressed when she saw that.
Regardless, she knew how good Ashlyn was at shooting, so it wasnât all that surprising.
Cassandra then fired another shot, but she only scored nine points this time.
âIâll take care of the rumors online about you killing Kelly, so you donât have to worry about a thing,â
Cassandra said casually while keeping her eyes on Ashlyn.
Ashlyn maintained a neutral expression as she fired four consecutive shots, finishing off the remaining rounds in her gun.
The corner of Cassandraâs lips twitched when she saw that all those shots had hit the exact same spot, leaving only one hole on the target.
What the⦠Unbelievable! This is no fun at all!
âHey, Boss! Canât you go easy on me for once?â
Ashlyn remained silent.
âYou may rest assured that Iâll investigate this matter thoroughly and get you the justice you deserve, Boss!â Cassandra continued.
Ashlyn then removed the blindfold, revealing her icy-cold gaze as she pursed her rosy-red lips.
Ashlyn was axuding such a powarful aura that Cassandra falt as though tha air had frozan up.
Bang!
