The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 86

As the sun started to dip below the horizon, Arthur and Alicia remained at the shooting range, both in awe of Alicia's progress. Her face was still glowing with enthusiasm and excitement.

"I can't believe how far I've come," She exclaimed, looking at Arthur with a proud smile.

"You should be proud," Arthur replied, giving her an affectionate smile. "You've done an amazing job."

She then took the gun back, rotating the weapon in her fingers with the familiarity of a long-time shooter, and fired at the target with extreme accuracy.

Bang!

"Whoa, I actually hit the target," Alicia exclaimed in surprise.

She quickly put the gun back on the plate and, with an agility born from practice, pulled it back out and fired three quick shots.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Each and every shot struck the target without a single miss.

"Is it really possible that I'm already a pro after just one day of practice?"

Alicia said softly in amazement, shaking her head.

She finally felt satisfied that she had done her best that day and smiled in relief. Turning to Arthur, she thanked him for taking the time to help her.

“Arthur Oppa, thank you for taking your precious time for me today. I think it's time we went back home.”

“Ah, sure.” Arthur answered, nodding. "I think today's practice was more than enough, perhaps even after this you can practice this shooting skill in your own way."

They then began to get ready to go home. As they were about to leave, Arthur began to think about how much better it would be for him if he had all the complete facilities that he might need to train all the bodyguards and everyone who would work for him in the future.

“Hm… I was thinking of building a place like this.” he said to Alicia.

"Woah...does that mean I can practice shooting whenever I want?" Alicia was clearly excited by the prospect.

"I think so," he responded.

The employees who had been in the control room since morning were still captivated by Alicia's training sessions, unable to take their eyes off her remarkable growth over the course of the day.

"Are they just pretending they can't shoot earlier?" one of them asked.

"No," another replied, "I'm sure that the girl this morning was still very inexperienced with a gun. I was watching her the whole time and there's a big difference between someone who is a complete beginner and someone who is already proficient."

"And besides, she's still very young," someone else added. “It takes years to get really good at something like that. I'm sure she's not an ordinary person?”

"And what about the man who was with her? He's not ordinary either, is he?"

As Arthur and Alicia prepared to depart, the employees in the control room rushed out to greet them. Standing silently in a row, they gazed in awe at Arthur, each of them too astonished to say anything.

"Oh my god, why am I suddenly unable to say anything?" one of them thought to himself.

Finally, one of them worked up the courage to speak but only managed a meek "Eh.. uh… hee."

Arthur, watching the people, pondered to himself, "Have I gone beyond the hours I've paid for this venue? I'm sure I haven't surpassed that hour mark yet."

"Am I past the time limit?" Arthur asked aloud.

“Ah… no…” one of them replied.

Smiling, Arthur said his farewell, "Okay, then see you..." and proceeded to walk out.

"Bye everyone, thank you for your cooperation." Alicia waved and walked away.

As Arthur and Alicia disappeared from view, the employees regained their voices and began to chatter among themselves.

The employees finally got an up-close look at Alicia's beauty, and each of them shook their heads in awe.

"This is the first time I've seen two people who are so perfect in front of me." one of them exclaimed.

“It's true,” another replied. “That man is incredibly wealthy and incredibly kind, plus the girl he's with is incredibly beautiful. Plus, it looks like she has some Asian heritage, I'm a fan of Asian girls.”

"Hey, can you lower your voice a bit," warned the third. "What if they hear us?"

Arthur strolled towards his vehicle, which was parked in the exclusive VIP parking lot, and Benno was waiting there with a smile on his face, holding the door open for him.

"Boss, how was your day?" Benno asked cheerfully.
