Chapter 1328
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
The target board fell to the ground with a crash.
Everyoneâs attention was drawn to Leonard, and they cheered, âHe must have scored 10 points again!â
âExactly! Leonard always comes out on top in every match. No surprises there!â
Leonard was the only one who knew how badly his heart was shaking.
He onlyâ¦had one pill left.
He didnât take any today, and he clearly felt weaker and less focused than usual.
Toward the end⦠At his last shot, when the arrow left the bow, the impact was so strong that his feet shifted and he lost his balance.
Thankfully, he had a good foundation and could keep his feet grounded. He didnât end up embarrassing himself.
Otherwise, his reputation would have been tarnished.
If the Mason family back in Jacroaof were to hear about it, they would definitely find him useless and take him back home.
If that happened, there would be no place for him in the familyâa boy whose mother had died, and whose father got bewitched by another woman and remarried.
Leonard had to stay in the training camp.
He had to be number one in all things.
Not only would that guarantee bright prospects for him, but it would also preserve his life.
Butâ¦
Would he put his title of number one at risk with this shot?
Leonard clenched his fists as he glared fiercely at every single person present.
Who exactly was it�
Who touched his pills?!
When his gaze landed on Sean, Sean looked back at him fearlessly.
Strangely, it was Leonardâs first time being provoked by such a midget.
No one in this training camp dared to look right back at him like that. Well, except this carrot head.
He disregarded that weakling, and turned his face away expressionlessly. He couldnât care less about Sean, who posed no threat to him, and looked back at the target board that had fallen to the ground.
Someone had seen his results on the board.
âTen points! Right on the bullseye!â
Leonard heaved a quiet sigh of relief.
Thankfullyâ¦
He barely secured victory.
It seemed the Masons werenât able to make a move on him yet.
If he couldnât get his hands on more pills, it would be tough for him to come out tops all the time.
That was what Leonard Mason wanted! Being number one all the time!
Just as he was recovering from the shock, Sean stood next to him, and said in a firm, small voice, âTen points on the bullseye. I can do that next week, too.â
His voice was so small, but Leonard heard it loud and clear. He couldnât ignore it, even if he tried.
He finally looked at the little boy, who was more than a head shorter than him, and said disdainfully, âDo you think this is very easy?â
âNot at all,â Sean said sincerely, as always. âBut itâs precisely because itâs not easy that I want to do it.â
What was the point of doing things that were easy?
From next week onward, he would make everyone remember his name!
Leonard didnât take Seanâs words to heart. He didnât think that what Sean said would come true.
But Seanâs firm voice inevitably resounded in his head, making Leonard subconsciously glance at Sean.
Sean was now very certain that Leonard would head out to get his hands on some pills. He had exhausted his supply. Without his pills, it was clear that he struggled to achieve victory.
Even before the judge announced his results, Sean paid special attention to Leonard and realized that his stance was unstable.
In fact, after they woke up in the morning, he realized that Leonard wasnât in very good spirits.
