Dave turned around and stared at Benjamin's target with raised eyebrows.
When he looked at Kenneth, he noticed that the latter's expression was peculiar as well.
Finally, the two of them looked at Benjamin.
The boy noticed their gazes on him and asked, “What's wrong?”
“What do you think?” Kenneth threw the question back at him.
Benjamin stared at the target. “Isn't it okay? Although I did not hit the middle of the target, this is my first time...”
Dave walked toward him and contemplated for a moment before saying, “Benjamin, have you truly never learned how to use a gun before?”
“Of course. Why would I lie to you?” Benjamin asked.
Dave raised his head and looked at Kenneth. He nodded. “It's confirmed. He's definitely your son!”
Kenneth glanced at him and said in a low voice, “Do you think I need you to confirm this?”
He then walked to Benjamin and said, “Here. I will continue to teach you.”
Benjamin raised his head and stared at them. “Daddy, what does Mr. Dave mean?”
“There's no need to care about him,” Kenneth replied.
Dave piped up, “I mean that your dad is an extraordinary sharpshooter. The only time he made a mistake was when he used the gun that you modified earlier. Apart from that, he has never missed a shot.”
Benjamin raised his head and looked at Kenneth, “Is that true, Daddy?”
“Yes,” Kenneth replied.
Benjamin said sincerely, “Daddy, you're amazing!”
Kenneth's lips curved into an uncontrollable smile. He looked at Benjamin and replied, “You're amazing too.”
The father and son praised each other happily.
Dave observed them and smiled.
At that moment, his phone rang. He went to a corner to pick up the call.
Meanwhile, Kenneth continued teaching Benjamin how to use the gun.
Elsewhere, Denise was chatting with Natasha in the room.
“Nat, is it true that you have visited Vermillion Base before?”
Natasha nodded and hummed in acknowledgment.
“Then, what's it like there?” Denise asked while staring at her.
Natasha did not realize anything unusual at that moment and responded, “There's nothing special there. There are people, cars, and weapons.”
“Is it like the military camps shown in shows?” Denise probed.
“No. The conditions there are worse. Furthermore, there is no discipline and order. It's a chaotic place,” Natasha explained.
Denise pondered for a moment before muttering to herself, “I wonder what it's like over there?”
Natasha turned to look at her. “Why are you curious about that?”
“Well... I'm just curious because I haven't seen it before,” Denise replied.
Natasha looked at her and said, “Don't you like romance dramas a lot? A place like Vermillion Base won't attract you.”
“Well, I'm interested in the movie and television industry. I can't only like romance dramas. I must see more, learn more, and broaden my knowledge. That will help me in my career in the future.”
“It seems like people do change.” Natasha smiled and looked away.
Denise pursed her lips as her big eyes glittered. A moment later, she asked, “Nat, do you still draw?”
“Why?”
Denise immediately handed her a sketchbook. “I haven't seen you draw for a long time, Nat. Please draw something.” She then sat next to Natasha.
The latter's gaze landed on her before she looked away. “Well, what do you want me to draw?”
