Looking at Charles with a smile, Emily was a little surprised by how powerful he was. She knew that Charles was good at shooting, but she didn't know much about it. After all, they didn't often shoot, and she didn't expect him to be so excellent.
However, at last, Emily was happy. Since it was impossible for Charles to totally get out of these things, he would better have a better self-protection ability, which gave him the courage to deal with unexpected things.
But obviously, Charles was not satisfied with himself. He put on a sad look. Even though in the eyes of the crowd, Charles was excellent enough. In his own eyes, he was obviously not that good.
"I have to admit that I wasn't as good as you when I was a kid. And you won." Brian said as he held Charles in his arms.
"Really?" Charles admired and relied on his unfathomable father in his heart.
"Of course."
Thinking of this, Charles was very delighted. It was rare that he was better than his father in one aspect. So he temporarily forgot that he had missed one target.
Emily sighed. She knew the feeling of the words might be different from different people. If these words were from her, it might not be as effective as that from Brian. It was more like a tacit understanding between men.
Forget it. There was no need to worry about that. The competition was over. In terms of ability, Emily was almost the same with Brian, but Charles was little bit weaker. It was totally reasonable. Moreover, his ability was still very outstanding and his future would be unlimited.
All the people in the camp was so shocked but they could do nothing about it. They were speechless in front of such powerful strength, so they would train even more hard in the future. The soldiers even began to fight against each other for a period of time because of this competition. Of course, that was the later story, which Emily did not know.
But now when Emily looked at Calvin, who had become very enthusiastic, he even wanted to rush to Charles right away, which made people have a bad feeling.
"Brian, can we have a talk?" Calvin's saliva almost flowed out.
"No way." After that, Brian walked towards the door with Charles in his arms. Judging from the look on Calvin's face, it was obvious that he wanted Charles.
"Hey, don't be so heartless. I am your elder. How about sending Charles to the army? I can assure you that he will dominate the whole military region in ten years." Calvin said excitedly.
"Not interested." Brian gave a simple answer.
"Hey, hey, you don't need to refuse me so directly. I am an old man, at least you should respect me a little bit. You must remember that it took a lot of effort for me to teach you, right?" Calvin followed him all the way.
"Anyway, it's not you."
Calvin was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it. Brian was just that stubborn. In the past, Calvin had tried so hard to get Brian into the army, but he had failed. This time, Calvin was determined to succeed no matter what happened since Charles was really talented.
So he couldn't find a breakthrough. He turned to Emily and said with a gentle smile, "Emily, we are close now. How could you refuse an elder's request?"
"Uncle, I really can't bear to refuse you. If I can make a decision, I will give Charles to you. But I can't decide. As you can see, my families are all independent individuals. If you want him to be with you, you have to ask for Brian's consent first. After all, Brian is Charles' father." Said Emily with a warm smile.
But Calvin couldn't stay calm when he saw such a smile on Emily's face. He said, "HM! What a smart girl." Now, it was time to talk with Brian again. But before Calvin could speak again, someone interrupted him.
"Calvin, I've heard a lot about you. I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I don't have time. Let's have a talk today." James had already come up to stop Calvin. How could they sit back and do nothing as there was someone who wanted to seduce his successor? Didn't he know that Charles had already been the next head of the Heavenly Shadow?
Moore agreed with James' action. Calvin could never get through his tricks to get close to Charles because of Moore's objection, not to mention that James would protect Charles just like Emily and Brian did.
