At the edge of the barrier of the open beach, Lion stood looking at the waves of the open sea with his mind blank. His treatment of Alice earlier made him regret it a little.'What did I do? Why did I kiss her?' He muttered to himself as his lips reluctantly opened to speak. He admitted that he was carried away by his memories of his girlfriend Lia.Seeing the weak Alice like that made him see Lia in the same state before she died that day.'Is it because I miss her so much? But I don't want to feel that way anymore. Love makes me weak and messes up my mind,' he continued.'Love? Nonsense. There's no way a spoiled and weak woman like her can pull at my heart and change my feelings away from you, Lia. Never!' Lion resolutely rejected Alice's presence in his life."What a ridiculous situation. I bet that woman will give up halfway through. Daddy made a tough decision by making her our sister." Lion muttered in exasperation this time as he clenched his fists tightly and stared intently a
"I don't blame you for being so weak. Your misfortune has been with you since birth, and everything keeps happening until you're at a helpless point in your life,"“Dumped by family, betrayed by love, and lost your own child. You don't even feel like you have any self-respect anymore after the abuse you almost received. I'm right, huh?" Mr Jack's question made Alice nod."But you finally met me and I accepted you to live here, even though my three sons questioned my decision, why did I bring that weak you into our midst who are not good people who can tolerate weakness. There are no weaklings here, just so you know, girl," he continued to say with a smile."Yes, that's what I wanted to ask, sir. Your reason for taking me still doesn't make sense to me. Although I resemble your daughter, I am a weak woman who is different from her. Your wife and daughter are great and strong women, but I'm just trash that my own family threw away, even to a place far away from them," Alice cried, recal
Meanwhile, the rest of his men had already had to disrupt the security network there so that there would be no trace of their arrival."If everyone in there is asleep, what about the people who don't breathe the air from in there? Like the people manning the security post in front of us, Lion!." Lily was a little worried about the two people manning the guard post right in front of the entrance of the customs office. He was afraid that they would hurt innocent people in their current mission."Play with that sharp tongue of yours and make some sense for them to understand and after that cover their mouths with this. They will fall asleep as well." Lion instructed casually while handing Lily a box of cigarettes."I have to give them these?" Lily asked."Then, do I have to do it too? That's funny when I've helped so many things without getting paid a cent." Lion grumbled, "Black Lily's getting rich, but I'm the one who has to be bothered, you bastard!" he continued swearing at Lily, bu
"He's helping you, not bringing you down with insults. Even though the words he said were sharp and piercing, but that was his," Sky began to speak in a calm tone to Alice."He saw that the wound on your stomach was festering slightly, and he knew it was dangerous to leave it like that. He's a great doctor, so don't doubt his expertise in caring for your body's health. Even though you don't like that he's being mean to you, admit that you're also grateful, even if it's only in the smallest corner of your heart,""You're not wrong for defending your pride, but he's also right for helping you. You're even.""You want to get stronger and will get out of this house when you can depend on yourself, but Lion also must take care of your health issues,""So, work together as much as possible for a better day. Realize that right now, you are powerless to fight him. The only way to defeat him is when you're balanced by having the position and ability of Lion,""In your sentence earlier, you sai
"Firstly, you will shoot as many times as possible at the available stationary targets at a predetermined distance and ammunition, and if you want to advance to the next stage, you must achieve a perfect score of one hundred with the same number of targets and bullets," he explains."In the second stage, you have to shoot to the perfect point at a moving target whose speed has been adjusted accordingly. One hundred bullets are available for the target with the same number of bullets. A perfect score will take you to the final level, the toughest level.""In the final level, you will change places. Because in the final level, the target is not just moving,""The speed set will be very fast, like normal human movement on the battlefield, and again, it is not only the perfect score that is the benchmark; you are welcome to exceed the perfect score limit and scramble for as many points as possible.""The bullets that are fired are color-differentiated. So, there will be automatic sensors
"Hey, you didn't answer my question earlier. Who exactly are you? Why is your shooting technique at a professional level? Tell me!" urged Lion, whose mind was already filled with questions."I've always followed and monitored your training, but with just over a month of me not being here, there's no way you could be this terrible." he continued, unable to accept reality.In Alice's three months of training, Lion was not at the Black Dragon headquarters last month but in Indonesia to monitor the progress of the construction of the new laboratory that Lily had rewarded him for, helping him at the Miami Customs Office the other day. He was obviously amazed at Alice's progress."I'm just a weak woman who keeps being told to carry hatred and resentment to lift myself up. You are also the resentment that became the embers that fuelled my passion to surpass my limits. Thank you for being cruel to me, and your attitude makes me want to keep trying to be better and surpass you.""Don't get coc
"I'm not saying my decision is without consideration," Mr. Jack replied calmly, "Lily and Sky have already been seen by them, but Lion, not many enemies know, especially since he rarely gets into conflicts," he continued."And for Alice, let's just say I gave her the first mission. There's no point in being good at shooting without being tested in real combat, is there? What do you expect my attitude to be for her anyway? Of course, she should also experience real hardships like the ones you guys faced before today,""Am I wrong, Alice? You want to be strong, don't you? Live combat should strengthen your long- and close-range shooting skills, not just in a training area like this."Mr Jack's words could not be denied by his children. Alice lowered her head and sighed heavily, then looked at Mr Jack again."I'm ready, sir. Please guide me as to what to do. Because I... have never shot a human at all during my training, so to shoot the enemy, I must also prepare my heart," Alice answere
"If you touch her and sever just one hair, then I'm sure the way you die will be tragic," Lion growled. He was so furious that he couldn't resist their quick-fire acting anymore."Then what can you do, huh?" the man said smugly, pointing his middle finger at Lion mockingly."See for yourself!" he replied briefly as he quickly grabbed the man's middle finger and broke it instantly. Of course, screams were immediately heard, diverting the mocking laughter to Alice, who had really caught their attention.Lion got up from his downed position, holding his sore stomach. His quick movements immediately hit several big men before him, giving him the distance to retake a stance and attack.But when Lion turned to Alice, his concentration was broken. He was slammed hard to the side after receiving a hard kick from another man. He was still glued to Alice, who was still shrouded in trauma."Gosh, that stupid woman is such a pain!" he grumbled again while trying to get up, "Hey, take out your gun
