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 hirm and said calmly, “Start assembling.”

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