Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Until An Agreement Is Reached In just a short while, Madelyn made significant progress.

At first, Maxton didn’t pay much attention, casually strolling around nearby. He even went to get coffee for both of them.

Upon his return, he saw Madelyn’s shot had hit the sixth ring.

Maxton couldn’t help but furrow his brows in puzzlement, thinking to himself, “Wow, she picks up really fast.”

What was even more terrifying was that each subsequent bullet from Madelyn was more accurate than the last, hinting at a near bull’s–eye.

Maxton was sure she would hit bull’s–eye soon if she kept that up.

Maxton couldn’t help but recall that he had spent an entire day training just to hit the bull’s–eye back in the day!

Yet, in less than two hours, Madelyn was already not far from the bull’s–eye.

What did this imply? It indicated that Madelyn had an extraordinary talent in shooting, unlike any others!

At that moment, Jillian, who was watching from the side, was full of exclamations. “Wow, Madelyn, you’re really amazing!”

Bang! No sooner had the words been spoken, Madelyn fired a shot that hit the bull’s–eye.

Maxton watched the scene unfold in surprise. He found it hard to believe how quickly Madelyn had learned how to use a gun.

This girl, not bad at all...

Madelyn was even more surprised that she had actually hit the bull’s–eye just like that!

Instantly, joy made him leap up, “I actually hit the target? I, I hit it!”

Following that, he lifted his hand, pulling the trigger and fired another shot.

This shot, however, flew straight up into the sky...

“Ah...” Madelyn’s heart, which had just soared to the heavens, suddenly plummeted to the depths. “It seems I am still out of practice. Hitting the mark every time is impossible.”

“Take a break first,” Maxton stepped forward at this point, offering a cup of coffee and a sandwich to the person.

Then, with patience, they said, “Shooting is about the feel you have in your hand, not luck. Today is your first time handling a gun, it’s still unfamiliar to you. Rome wasn’t built in a day, so it’s perfectly normal if your shots are off. Don’t be discouraged.”

1/4 *55%

Chapter 165 Until An Agreement is Reached Finished Maxton watched from the side, a faint smile on his lips. “If your hands are numb, you should take a break. There’s no rush at the moment. From now on, you can practice on your own every day.

Upon hearing this, Madelyn nodded in a serious manner. “Thank you, Maxton.”

Maxton...

Upon hearing his name, Maxton felt a peculiar sensation in his heart, even though Madelyn had only mentioned it casually.

Madelyn noticed that it was getting late. She chuckled and suggested, “It’s getting late, how about we have dinner together? It’s my treat.”

“Sure,” Jillian agreed.

Maxton gave a slight nod, inexplicably finding himself agreeing.

The trio chatted as they readied to depart.

At that moment, a sudden commotion echoed from not too far away. It seemed like two groups of people were engaged in some sort of dispute, leading to a conflict.

Madelyn had no intention of getting involved in such matters. However, upon hearing one of the voices, she inexplicably found it strangely familiar.

And so, driven by curiosity, she leaned over to peek.

Who’d have thought it’d be Josiah?

Josiah, Mason, and Xander were cornered against a wall by a group of arrogant thugs. From the looks of it, it seemed like they were being forced to give up their territory.

“Kid, if you know what’s good for you, I suggest you peacefully clear out from this place! Save yourself from a beating!”

The one who spoke was a big fellow, massive in size. At first glance, he was quite intimidating.

However, as the son of the Blume family, Josiah wasn’t intimidated.

Having been rebellious since childhood, no one could control him if he were to act recklessly, let alone the stubborn guy before him.

He scoffed, his words dripping with contempt. “You lot, do you really think you’re that special? Daring to mess with me, it seems like you’re seeking death!”

“You little brat, I dare you to say that again.” It was clear that the group was also infuriated.

Madelyn watched the group of people, suddenly recalling that they seemed to be a notorious gang known for their brawling habits. They were notoriously aggressive in their everyday lives.

If these two were to start fighting, even if it wouldn’t result in death, they’d at least end up in the hospital for a good couple of weeks!

214 Chapter 165 Until An Agreement is Reached Naturally, Madelyn had no plans to just stand by and watch, Finished At that moment, Jillian recognized Josiah and exclaimed, “Madelyn, isn’t that the guy who raced with you that day?”

“It’s him,” Madelyn stated calmly.

Upon hearing this, Maxton grew confused. How did Madelyn know those troublemakers?

As she was pondering, Madelyn suddenly turned her head toward Maxton, making a request. “Coach Wendel, we might need your assistance later. My friend has run into a bit of trouble...”

Upon hearing this, Maxton’s gaze shifted to Josiah. “You’re talking about the lad in blue, aren’t you?”

“Right! It’s him.” Madelyn nodded.

“What do you plan to repay me with?” Maxton suddenly offered a mysterious smile.

“Huh?” Madelyn was baffled.

Maxton, however, had already regained his composure. “It’s nothing,” he reassured. “don’t worry, I’ll help you out.”

Upon hearing his words, Madelyn felt reassured.

At that moment, the group over there had already begun to make their move.

One of them, a bald man who seemed to be their leader, known as Baldy, stepped forward and shoved Josiah, asking arrogantly, “Kid, are you going to move or not? I’m telling you, if you don’t, none of you are getting out of here alive today.”

Upon hearing those words, Josiah let out a scornful chuckle. “I already told you, I’m not moving.”

“Really?” Baldy’s eyes widened. Without wasting any more words, he made a swift hand gesture. “If they’re unwilling to give in, then let’s teach them a lesson! Keep going until these youngsters agree!”

“Understood!”

Upon hearing the command from the bald man, the people behind him immediately rolled up their sleeves and advanced forward as an intimidating crowd.

Josiah was never one to shy away from trouble. He addressed his comrades behind him. “Mason and Xander, we’ve always had a rule. We don’t bother those who don’t bother us, but if someone crosses us, we eliminate them! Today, these arrogant fools dare to stir up trouble on our turf, let’s show them what we’re made of!”

“Agreed!” A chorus of voices echoed in unison, their collective energy oozed an undeniable dominance.

Suddenly, both sides found themselves in a standoff, neither afraid of the other.

As the fight was about to break out, Madelyn seized the opportunity. In a soft voice, she commanded, “Go!”

Three figures immediately rushed forward.
