Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1288

"How's it coming?" Daniel asked, looking at Maggie a moment before the scheduled time.

Without taking her eyes off the rifle, Maggie loaded the bullets. She looked a little nervous. Then she turned to Daniel and said, "Above ninety percent accuracy!"

Condor was so stunned that his eyes widened to its maximum. He could not believe what he had just heard. "Ninety percent?!" he asked, his voice filled with incredulity.

Maggie nodded. "Time is too limited now. If I had time for testing, I believe I could have ensured one hundred percent accuracy," she said. She wasn't talking big. She was only twenty-five years old and she was already about to graduate as a master in missile research and had won the military rank of a First Lieutenant. All of it was the result of her own skills and hardwork, and had nothing to do with her father's influence.

A smile played at the corners of Daniel's mouth. "If you succeed," he said half-jokingly, "I will finally have a chance to show off in front of my brother-in-law." As he said that, the smile spread from the corners of his mouth to his entire face. "Condor, if I show off in front of Brian, do you think he will bring his men to challenge the Eagle Special Brigade? He hates being challenged."

Condor's eyes lit up. When Brian had come to their camp for Daniel and Cathy's wedding, he had a contest against Edgar. They had admired Brian's skills at the time. They were all looking forward to watching Brian fight with their own eyes one more time; it would greatly improve their performance.

Seeing the apparent expectation and admiration on Daniel and Condor's faces, Maggie was very curious. She wondered to what extent Brian's capabilities were so as to be admired by the likes of Daniel. She had heard that Brian had once fought against Edgar. However, she didn't know the details or the end result of their contest. The superiors of the military region had ordered everybody who had watched the contest to keep it a military secret. Therefore, nobody dared to reveal a word about it.

While she was lost in her thought, Daniel inspected the sniper rifle. He adjusted it slightly before he said into the intercom, "Sir?"

"Speak!" Edgar's apathetic voice came through the earpiece.

"Target object is three kilometers away. The light sniper rifle has been debugged, with a probability of success at ninety percent," Daniel said in a calm and steady voice. "Nighthawk requesting permission to engage again."

Silently, Edgar scanned the sensor of every branch of the Blue Force on the electronic induction map for a few seconds. Then, he said, "Permission granted."

"Permission received by Nighthawk!" Daniel said. Shifting his gaze to Condor, who was lying on his stomach next to him, he said, "Spotter in position."

Immediately, Condor picked up his professional telescope to observe the situation. After reporting a series of data, including the bearing, humidity and wind direction, he said, "Shoot is feasible."
