Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 535

"Alright, from tomorrow on, I'll have to be strict with you."

"Sounds good, Coach Colby."

Sophie and Colby exchanged a smile.

That night, everyone left the Aldridge Mansion except for Harold, who was called in front of Gordon.

"This mission is really dangerous. If I... if I don't make it back..."

Gordon cut him off, "Just go and do it with confidence. Should anything happen, you've got me to fall back on."

"...Alright." Determination filled Harold's eyes.

Early the next day, Colby dragged Sophie to Adler's family's shooting range. Sophie had no idea his family even had such a thing.

Adler said, "Well, Colby has been overseas all this while. His new place is still being refurbished, so it makes the most sense for you to come here."

Sophie looked around, noticing the shooting range was much larger than she had imagined, boasting both indoor and outdoor areas.

She remarked, "This shooting range is impressive. You must be quite the marksman, Mr. Adler."

Adler replied directly, "Not me. It's all for Colby. He's got a real passion for it and needs to shoot every now and then."

Colby handed a pistol to Sophie, saying, "It's not difficult to learn. As long as you get the stance right, you're unlikely to hurt yourself."

"Tsk, with Miss Sophie's petite frame, I reckon it might be a bit of a challenge."

Colby glanced at Adler and said, "Go make some tea, will you?"

Adler rolled his eyes dramatically and said, "Fine, I'll play the butler for you two, okay!"

As Sophie fiddled with the pistol in her hands, Colby instructed, "Be careful of accidental discharge. This is the safety. Try holding the gun with your right hand and extend your arm straight."

Colby was very serious about teaching Sophie. He moved behind her, held her hand, and said, "Focus on your target, don't let your hand shake."

Sophie focused on the target in the distance, trying to stabilize her breath. Under Colby's guidance, she fired her first shot.

The sound of the gunshot made Adler, who was about to enter with the tea, jump. "Good heavens, that was quick!"

The recoil made Sophie's hand tingle a bit. Colby loosened her wrist and said, "That's normal. You'll get used to it with more practice."
