Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 166

Eileen was just about to finish her breakfast in the cafeteria when Egbert walked in. He grabbed his food and sat down by the window. Eileen quickly grabbed her tray and sat across from him.

Egbert paused, his eyes flickering, "You..."

"Hold on," Eileen cut him off. She reached over and turned off the microphone on his collar and did the same with hers. After making sure no cameramen followed, she asked, "Did you get the chocolate?"

Egbert nodded.

Eileen smiled and asked, "How do you feel now?"

Egbert looked at her, "Alright, I guess?"

Eileen said, "Do you feel warm inside? No longer lonely? Fulfilled?"

Something seemed off and Egbert frowned, "What are you trying to say?"

Eileen said mysteriously, "This afternoon, you'll receive roses. Looking forward to it?"

Just then, a cameraman started heading their way.

Eileen quickly stood up, "Don't forget to pick up your flowers!"

After lunch, it was time for shooting practice.

All four male guests were thrilled on the shooting range.

Compared to dull physical training, guys seem to have a natural affinity for firearms.

Eileen was also excited. She loved guns!

Edna and the other two girls were clueless about guns. Holding them was enough to make them shake in fear.

As the chief instructor, Egbert demonstrated the shooting actions.

He fired five shots in a row, all bullseyes!

Eileen watched him, raising an eyebrow.

Indeed. If Egbert knew how to fight, he certainly knew how to shoot.

Eileen cursed Egbert under her breath.

At this point, Egbert had put down the gun. He glanced at the eight recruits beside him and said calmly, "Start assembling."

Before shooting, the guns had to be assembled. Two assistant instructors were there to guide this process.

Load bullets, chamber them, and aim.

While Jaqueline was still tremblingly putting bullets into her magazine, Eileen had already adopted the standard aiming posture.

One of the male assistant instructors praised, "Not bad."

Eileen didn't respond, just kept her eyes locked on the target.

Suddenly, Eileen felt her arm being nudged.

She hesitated for a moment. Then, a familiar voice came from behind, "Higher."

Eileen recognized it as Egbert's voice. She pursed her lips and slightly raised her elbow.

Egbert wasn't satisfied. He crouched behind her, adjusted her shoulder blade position, and moved her trigger finger down a little with his clean, slender fingers.

Eileen's brows furrowed. She murmured so only both of them could hear, "My posture is standard."

Egbert paused.

His arm reached over her body to support her wrist. His breath was close to her ear. He said, "Am I the instructor, or are you?"

Eileen bit her lip, didn’t say anything else.

Egbert then said, "Who taught you to shoot? Your posture is completely wrong."

Of course, she learned to shoot from NightKing.

She mumbled, "No matter what, I can always hit the target!"

Egbert said sternly, "Your gun-holding posture is wrong. Doing so long-term can cause joint injuries. It not only increases the difficulty of shooting but also shows irresponsibility towards your own health."

Seeing Egbert's serious tone, Eileen didn't say anything more.

Egbert corrected her minor issues. When everyone was ready, he stood up and stepped aside, "Fire."

"BANG BANG BANG!!!"

The shooting began.

Eileen was the first to shoot. Unsurprisingly, her bullet hit the bullseye.

Among the other seven, Jaqueline and Patti were too scared to even pull the trigger.

Colin hit the third ring.
