Nicole fired a few more shots, causing bang after bang as the balloons burst.
Seeing this, the owner's eyes widened. ‘That first shot might have been luck. But for each consecutive
shot she had placed since then, I'm convinced it's not luck anymore.’
Before he knew it, Nicole had destroyed twenty balloons, and that was when he sat down, "Lady, I see
you've shot down twenty. I'm telling you that it's better to not push your luck. A medium-sized plushie
will do. If you keep going, you'll have to pay me money if you lose.”
“It's fine. Since we've made a promise, I'll follow through it. I'm not afraid of losing." Nicole looked at the
boss and smirked.
In the face of Nicole's determination, the boss could not help but sit down.
Soon after, Nicole shot ten more balloons, and when she looked over to her periphery, she could see
that the owner of the booth was dripping with cold sweat. 'Those binoculars. I'm going to get it!’
With the three consecutive bangs that followed, the man was left despairing over the fact that he would
soon have to give his prized possession away. It seemed that he had finally met a professional shooter
that day. With the last shot fired, the final balloon burst.
Seeing this, Kelly rejoiced. “Yay! We won!"
Nicole placed the gun down, walked over to the owner, and looked at the binoculars. "Sir, please honor
your promise.”
The boss caressed the binoculars in his hand for a moment. Then, he closed his eyes and passed it to
Nicole at once, "Take it.”
Nicole took the binoculars from him. "Thank you. Now, let's go."
When they had left the shooting booth, Harvey looked at the binoculars in Nicole's hands and asked,
"Nicole, I saw that the owner had other things to offer. Why would you choose a pair of binoculars? Do
you have any uses for it?”
Harvey was confused. He did not understand why Nicole would want binoculars that looked antiquated.
"This is good stuff. You just don't have an eye for things like these. " Nicole glanced at Harvey with a
smirk.
"Pfft, who would believe that?”
"You guys are....” Nicole let out a sigh, feeling too lazy to explain herself any further.
All that mattered was that she understood the value of the item she had acquired.
"Where else do you guys want to go?" Harvey looked at the two ladies.
“I'm pretty much done. I want to go back and catch some rest. The both of you can go ahead and have
your fun." Nicole looked at Kelly and knew that the latter still wanted to walk around for a bit more.
“Yeah, met too. I can't even feel all that food in me anymore," Harvey said while he stroked his belly.
Seeing that the both of them wanted to return to the hotel to catch some rest, Kelly had no choice but
to follow suit.
"Harvey, you'd be bored if you head back. Why don't you stick around with Kelly and walk around for a
bit?” Nicole said, suggesting the exact opposite.
"I think that's a good arrangement. Kelly, I'll think I'll have to make your job harder now. Just keep
Harvey company, take your time, and look around.” Nicole smiled and gave Kelly a wink.
Kelly understood what Nicole was trying to tell her and glanced at Harvey shyly, “Alright.”
“Okay, I'm off now. The both of you can take your sweet time.” Nicole waved and left.
With Harvey and Kelly being left to their own devices, they looked at each other, "Where are we
going?"
Nicole drove herself back to the hotel, and the first thing she did as soon as she had reached was
switch her computer on and check for Zeke's message.
“This is a defense operation." Nicole began to peruse the contents of the message.
Soon after, Nicole took her phone out and called Zeke, "Hello, what was the task that you have
received?"
“Cyber defence. But I'm not sure which company it belongs to. I've been looking it up for the whole day
and I haven't found a clue just yet," Zeke replied, as he was just as doubtful when he received the task.
“I'm not surprised that you weren't able to find out. Tasks such as these are usually assigned by arms
dealers. Normally, they would hire an agent to release this, so that others won't be able to trace it back
to them," Nicole explained.
“I get it now. I guess this will be a tough one, then," Zeke muttered.
"Nicole, what do you think I should do with this task?”
“I need to look further into it," she said.
"If this really does concern arms and munitions, things may get tricky. Just wait for my call."
After Nicole was done speaking, she hung up at once.
