Chapter 117 A Fatal Blow

Phillip immediately pulled Peyton into the woods. There was a treehouse here, which Rene had taken

her to a few days ago.

Phillip swept away the fallen leaves and entered the underground secret base with Peyton.

The underground was pitch black. Phillip lit the oil lamp, and the gentle light instantly illuminated the

entire base. Peyton was shocked when he saw what was stored inside.

“Are these all yours?” Peyton pointed at the guns and weapons hanging on the wall.

Phillip responded with a low voice. He didn’t offer much explanation, but instead picked up a small,

delicate hand and placed it in Peyton’s hand.

“Only the strong can grasp the truth. No matter what may happen in the future, you will need weapons

to defend yourself.”

Peyton touched the heavy gun, feeling a bit nervous. She swallowed and asked, “Did you give it to

me?”

Phillip looked at Peyton earnestly and then said coldly, “If you can’t escape, I hope it saves you.”

He aimed the gun at his chest and said, “Remember this position. Pull the trigger and it’s a fatal shot.”

Phillip actually knew that Peyton would be awakened by nightmares every night. His silence did not

mean that he didn’t care about anything.

“If you didn’t want to have nightmares, all you had to do was cut off the root of the nightmares.”

Peyton nodded nervously.

“Come, I’ll teach you how to use it,” said Phillip, despite being injured, it didn’t affect his movements.

Phillip disassembled the firearm and then said, “Before using a gun, you have to familiarize yourself

with it so as not to accidentally harm yourself.”

“I understood.”

Peyton did not refuse Phillip because she did not know what troubles she would encounter in the

future.

Her current physical condition was too weak, so it was good for her to have a means to protect herself.

In no time, Peyton learned how to disassemble and assemble firearms. Phillip was very shocked.

“You did a great job. Now let’s start the practical training.”

Phillip brought Peyton to the shooting range and said, “Do you see that red bullseye? Aim at it and then

pull the trigger.”

Peyton held a firearm for the first time. Perhaps due to her excitement and fear, her arms couldn’t help

but tremble.

Peyton suddenly felt the warmth of Phillip’s chest. Phillip embraced her from behind, holding her hand,

and then said, “Don’t be afraid. Aim at the target, and then shoot. Like this…”

A loud noise.

The piercing sound of gunshots reached Peyton’s ears, as if it was going to rupture her eardrums. It

was the first time she had heard such a shocking sound up close, to the point that her heart almost

stopped beating.

Peyton stood still, her body trembling unconsciously.

“That’s it. Do you remember?” Peyton felt Phillip’s warm breath against her ear and then snapped back

to reality.

Peyton realized that Phillip had almost held her in his arms, with even the palm of his hand pressed

against the back of her hand.

Peyton instinctively wanted to move away, but Phillip acted first.

Før a moment, Phillip stepped back, keeping his distance from Peyton. He muttered, “Try again.

Remember, don’t panic. Keep your hands steady, and make sure to aim for the bullseye. If you’re going

to use a gun against this person, then don’t be afraid. It’s either him or you, so you must be ruthless!

Being soft–hearted will lead to failure.”

Phillip got straight to the point. Indeed, Peyton’s life has been so unsuccessful so far, and it is directly

related to her sensitivity. She is truly too weak.

Whether it was Helena or Nolan, even the passing cat could bully Peyton.

When Peyton realized this, her gaze became increasingly determined, and then she raised her arm

again.
