Chapter 151

Jack swiftly led her into the forest. There was a treehouse in the forest, which Jerry showed her two

days ago.

Jack swept the fallen leaves away. Then, he led her into the underground secret base.

It was completely dark underground, so Jack lit an oil lamp. The warm glow brightened up the whole

base. When Olivia saw the things stored there, she was shocked.

“Are these all yours?” she asked, pointing at the firearms and weapons hanging on the wall.

The man responded in a low voice without explaining too much. Grabbing a small handgun, he placed

it in Olivia’s hand.

“The truth always sides with the strong. No matter what happens in the future, you need a weapon to

protect yourself.”

Touching the heavy gun, Olivia had a nervous look on her face. She gulped. “You’re giving this to me?”

Under the mask, Jack’s dark eyes gleamed earnestly. He said in a cold voice, “If you can’t escape, I

hope that it’ll be your final way out.”

He pointed the gun at his chest. “Remember this spot and pull the trigger. It only takes one shot.”

He knew about her waking up from nightmares every night. He was quiet, but it didn’t mean that he

didn’t care.

“If you don’t want to have nightmares, you just have to end it at its source.”

Olivia nodded, frightened.

“Come, I’ll teach you how to use it.” Even though Jack was injured, it didn’t affect his movements at all.

As he explained, he took the gun apart. “Before using the gun, you have to understand it so that you

won’t accidentally hurt yourself.”

“Got it.”

Olivia didn’t decline his kindness. She didn’t know what troubles she would face in the future.

She was physically too weak, so it was nice to have a way to protect herself.

Soon, she learned how to take the gun apart and reassemble it. A surprised look flashed across Jack’s

eyes.

“Well done. Let’s try using it next.”

He took Olivia to the shooting range. “See that bullseye? Aim at it and shoot.”

It was Olivia’s first time holding a gun. She wasn’t sure if she was excited or scared, but her arms

wouldn’t stop trembling.

Then, she felt the man’s warm chest leaning against her body. Jack put his arms around her from

behind, as if embracing her.

He placed his palm on her hand, saying, “Don’t be afraid. Find the target, then shoot. Like this…..”

The piercing sound of the gun exploded in Olivia’s ears, threatening to rip her eardrums. The sound

was so shocking that her heart almost stopped when she heard it in person.

She stood where she was, feeling numb. There was a dazed expression on her face as she shivered

uncontrollably.

“Like this. Get it?” The man’s warm breath reached her ears, pulling Olivia’s thoughts back to reality.

It was only then that Olivia realized something. Jack’s posture looked like he was hugging her, and

even his palms were placed firmly on the back of her hands.

Olivia subconsciously tried to move away, but Jack moved faster than her.

In a mere second, Jack had already stepped away and put some distance between them.

His voice was uniquely low and hoarse. He said, “Try it. Remember, don’t panic, and don’t tremble. You

have to aim properly.

“If you have the resolve to use this gun on that person, there’s nothing else to fear. Either you or him

will die, so you have to be firm. Being nice won’t help you.”

Jack’s words were sharp, but he was right. It was true that all her failures were caused by her

softheartedness. She was too weak.

She had allowed Marina, Ethan, or even random strangers to take advantage of her. When she thought

of that, her gaze slowly grew determined. She lifted her arms again.
