Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Defeating Skye Lawrence
The first round, Enna Clark and Skye Lawrence both hit 9 points.
The second round, Enna Clark didn’t perform well, hitting only 8 points, while Skye Lawrence maintained 9 points.
In the third round, Skye Lawrence also didn’t perform well, shooting 7 points.
Enna Clark picked up her arrow and walked to the forefront.
Unbeknownst to them, a crowd had gathered around them, and without her having to count, the whispers of the people nearby had already done the math for her.
“If she hits 9 points, it’ll be a tie.”
“Only a 10 will secure a win. Anything less than 9 points means a loss.”
“Getting a bullseye is not that easy. I’ve seen sports competitions where very few people manage to hit it. It’s too difficult.”
The voices around her continuously reached her ears; Enna Clark took a deep breath, blocked out the noise, picked up her bow and arrow, and aimed at the target.
She had to win!
Not just for herself, but for Baron Lawrence, she had to win! Otherwise, she’d look weak before she even started!
But a bullseye, just as others had said, was not so easily achieved.
Even professionals might not manage to hit it.
Enna Clark’s gaze was steely as she squinted and aimed for that central red dot.
She wanted to try!
No matter what, she was going to try!
She blocked out all the surrounding noises, and the world suddenly fell silent. All she could see was the target in front of her.
Finally, she released the arrow—
The three seconds it took to count the score felt unbearably long, as if each second were an hour in length. Enna Clark had never been so nervous, as tense as waiting for the results of a major exam.
“Beep—10 points.”
“Did she really hit a bullseye?!”
“Are my ears working right? That was fierce.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone hit a bullseye.”
“That’s impressive…”
Hearing the score of 10 points, the anxiety gripping Enna Clark’s heart suddenly dropped. Her eyes involuntarily lit up, an uncontrollable joy almost bursting forth from her chest.
She really hit it!
Truly scored a bullseye!
Besides being initially surprised, Skye Lawrence was calmer than anyone, her lips curling into a smile as she walked over to Enna Clark, “Ms. Clark, you’ve earned my respect.”
“I…” Enna Clark wanted to say something polite.
Skye Lawrence laughed and said, “You’re really not bad, no need for polite words. A win is a win. It’s the first time I’ve lost to a woman. I’ve only lost to Baron before. His skill is monstrous; he always hits the bullseye, a normal person simply can’t win against him.”
“Is Baron Lawrence very good at shooting?”
“You haven’t seen him?” Skye Lawrence laughed heartily, “Some other time he should take you along to play, then you’ll know.”
“By the way, besides shooting, I’m also interested in horse riding. How about another round with me?”
Enna Clark really wanted to say no, but seeing Skye Lawrence’s look, she didn’t have the heart to refuse, and followed her to the racecourse.
Skye Lawrence picked a horse, and Enna Clark also chose one.
She gave it her all in the horse race, but after three laps, Skye Lawrence had left her behind. @@novelbin@@
Enna Clark admitted defeat wholeheartedly.
After riding the horse, she was drenched in sweat and truly had no energy for anything else. Fortunately, Skye Lawrence didn’t suggest any more activities and invited her, “Let’s go, I’m tired too. I saw a place for coffee inside. Let’s have a cup of coffee and take a break.”
“Okay.”
Following her, Enna Clark walked to the leisure area.
The waiter quickly brought over two cups of coffee.
