Once Simon agreed to let Claude teach Sebastian more about guns, the kid excitedly came over to look for Claude.Since the boss himself had given his consent, Claude was no longer hesitant as well. He began to teach Sebastian wholeheartedly.“Today’s your first lesson with guns. But before that, I’d like to make some things clear to you and you have to keep these things in mind,” said Claude.“Yes, sir!” Sebastian was even more serious about this than attending his classes at school.“You told me that you wanted to be a powerful sniper. This is not an easily achievable goal. In addition to bitterly hard practices, the other thing you have to pay attention to is to treat the gun as if it’s a part of yourself, an extension of your hand. You can hit anything if you want to, and to put it simply, you have to become one with the gun itself. Once you reach this level, you’ll be a powerful sniper as well.”Sebastian gave it a thought for a moment and said, “I got it!”“Okay, let’s begin
Just as Sharon was about to go over, she halted after seeing Claude helping her out.After the two picked up all of the fruits, they both stood up at the same time without paying much attention to each other. Then, they accidentally bumped into each other while standing up.“Ah…” Candace rubbed on her sore forehead. She scrunched up her tiny nose and looked at the other party. It seemed like she had bumped into the man’s chest instead of his forehead. However, why on earth was the man’s chest muscles rock-hard?Seeing that she was somewhat in pain, Claude quickly apologized, “I’m sorry… Are you alright?” He was slightly at a loss as well and clumsily waved his hands around, not knowing where to place them. The big man was utterly embarrassed at the moment.It was as if he had never laid a finger on a woman before.Seeing this adorable demeanor, Candace burst into a peal of laughter.“What are you laughing at?” Claude was puzzled. Had she hit herself in the head too hard?Candace
Sharon abruptly remembered something else now that her son had fallen ill and was hospitalized. She had been wanting to do the test on her son a long time ago.She was wondering if he had inherited her genes… Specifically, the madness gene she had inherited from her mother.Sharon had never managed to get the check-up done as she was afraid of the result. However, now that she and Simon had gone through so many ordeals in the past, she felt that she could face any result now.She went ahead and discussed this with the doctor privately. They took a little bit of blood from Sebastian for the examination. Yet, she did not inform her son what she was doing with it.“This test takes time, but don’t worry, I’ll notify you once the test report comes out,” the doctor said to Sharon.Sharon truly wanted to know the result, but she was still a little afraid. She merely nodded and said, “Alright. Sorry for the trouble.”Sebastian stayed in the hospital for three whole days and recuperated a
Half an hour later, Candace was looking at the serious little boy in front of her and smiling while asking, “So, do you understand everything that I’ve taught you?”“Yes, almost. There’s still a little bit left, so can you please tell me about this part?”Candace was naturally happy that he was eager to learn and explained it to him in detail.Before they knew it, the sky had turned dark. Sebastian glanced at the time on the wall and said, “I think I got it now, Miss. Thanks for the extra tutoring. I’ll call my family to pick me up, so why don’t you and I go together?”Candace would be worried if he were to stay in school alone. She wanted to see him getting picked up by his parents, so she nodded. “Sure.”“Are you really single, Miss? You don’t have a boyfriend?” Sebastian chatted with her.Candace smiled and asked, “Why? Are you still planning to set me up with someone?”“I can surely do so if you’re single.”“Why do you like playing Cupid so much? Thank you, but I don’t real
“No… There’s no need.” Claude’s expression appeared taut. He wanted to behave more naturally, but his nervousness was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.Candace found him to be amusing and could not help but let out a laugh.“Wh-What’s the matter?” Seeing her laugh, Claude was even more nervous. He thought, ‘What did I do wrong now?’“It’s nothing. I just wanted to tell you not to be so nervous around me. It’s not like I’ll eat you up.”Her words and demeanor were always gentle and soft. Everyone had told her that she had a very sweet temper, so why on earth was he so terrified of her?Could it be that he had never been in any contact with a woman before?Even Sebastian could not stand watching this anymore. Was this genuinely the same powerful sniper whom he admired so much?He had finally created an opportunity for him, but why was he performing so poorly?Sebastian began to lament. If he were a girl, he would definitely not fall for someone like Claude!It seemed like
The four thugs were so easily knocked to the ground by him, and for a moment, Candace was unable to give a response.He walked up to her and asked, “Are you alright? Did they hurt you?” Hearing his voice, it seemed like he was anxious for her?“I’m…” Candace was about to answer when she suddenly saw a cold flash behind Claude. It was the thug who tried to stab him with a knife earlier.“Be careful…” Her first instinct was to pull him away and stop the knife herself. However, Claude had already sensed the impending danger behind him. He wanted to protect her, so he only had a second to pull her into his arms while lifting his hand to block the other party’s incoming knife.The knife slashed his arm, and from the moonlight, one could see the blood oozing from his clothes…Candace felt her heart tightening up suddenly!Those thugs were so enraged. They were about to stand back up and fight another round with Claude. All four of them stood up and besieged the two of them together!
Claude could not help but inwardly laugh when looking at Candace’s deer-like eyes that were clear as day but on high alert. Was she perhaps regarding him as a bad person now?“Don’t misunderstand him, Miss. Uncle Claude is my daddy’s bodyguard. He’s not a bad guy.” Sebastian felt that this could go very wrong. He should not let Miss White have a terrible impression of Uncle Claude.“Bodyguard?” Candace looked at the two of them suspiciously. “Are bodyguards allowed to carry guns around?” Sebastian’s dad was not an influential figure, after all.“Then what does your dad do for a living?” Candace had only met Simon once before. She remembered that he was sitting in a wheelchair and had a devastatingly handsome face with an indifferent expression. However, he exuded a strong aura.“Your daddy is not a criminal, right?” Candace started guessing on her own.“My daddy is a good person! He doesn’t do bad things!” Sebastian merely thought that she was indeed a literature teacher, judging
“Miss, does that mean you and Uncle will meet again someday?” Sebastian was always looking for an opportunity to set them up.Candace said to him in an easy and relaxed manner, “That’s right.” Afterward, she turned around to enter her front door with a smile.Sebastian crossed his hands over his chest and nudged Claude with his elbow, saying, “Uncle, it seems like your heroic act worked this time. Miss Candace has a good impression of you now, so you didn’t get injured for nothing.”Something seemed to freeze in Claude’s eyes, and there was zero expression of joy on his face.A person like him could lose their life on any given day. It would be better for him not to drag a nice girl into this. He was more suitable to be on his own.…When Candace was in class the next day, a police officer came looking for her. She felt a throb in her heart.Sebastian secretly followed them and hid behind a corner in the corridor, listening to the police officer questioning her.“We received a
