Chapter 161
Owen hurriedly pulled her into the forest. There was a treehouse here that Tyler brought her to a couple of days ago. However, Owen swept away the fallen leaves and led her into an underground secret base.
It was pitch black underground, but he lit an oil lamp, and the gentle light instantly illuminated the entire base.
Aveline was shocked when she saw what was stored inside.
“Are all these yours?” she pointed at the wooden shelves and weapons hanging on the wall.
The man nodded quietly without explaining much. Instead, he picked up a small and delicate wooden shelf and handed it to Aveline.
“The truth always lies in the hands of the strong. No matter what happens in the future, you need weapons to defend yourself.”
Aveline held the heavy wooden shelf and looked nervous. She swallowed her saliva and asked, “You’re giving this to me?”
Owen’s black eyes flickered with seriousness behind his mask. His voice was cold, “If there’s no way out, I hope it will be your last resort.”
He aimed the wooden shelf at his own chest. “Remember this position, pull the trigger, and it will be a fatal blow.”
It turned out that he knew every night she woke up from nightmares. His silence didn’t mean he didn’t care about anything.
“I don’t want to have nightmares anymore. I just need to cut off the root of the nightmare.”
Aveline nodded, feeling scared and nervous.
“Come, let me teach you how to use it.” Despite his injuries, Owen’s movements were unaffected.
His slender fingers skillfully disassembled the wooden shelf. “Before shooting, you have to familiarize yourself with it so you won’t accidentally hurt yourself.”
“I understand.”
Aveline didn’t refuse his kindness. No one knew what troubles they would encounter on the road ahead. Her physical strength was too weak, so having a means to protect herself was good.
In just a while, she learned how to disassemble and assemble it. Owen’s eyes showed a hint of admiration.
“You did well. Now, let’s move on to practical training.”
He took Aveline to the shooting range. “Do you see that bullseye? Aim and pull the trigger.”
Aveline held the wooden shelf for the first time, her body trembling with excitement or fear. Her arms were completely uncontrollable.
Until her body leaned against the man’s warm chest, Owen hugged her from behind, his palm pressed against hers. His voice continuously guided her, “Don’t be afraid. Find the target, then shoot, like this…”
“Bang!”
The piercing sound of the wooden shelf exploded in Aveline’s ear, as if it would pierce her eardrums. The sound was so shocking that her heart almost stopped beating for the first time when she heard it up close.
She stood numbly in place, her expression somewhat blank, and her body trembling unconsciously.
“Like this, do you remember?” The man’s warm breath brushed against her ear, gradually bringing Aveline’s senses back.
Only then did Aveline realize that Owen’s action almost enclosed her entire person. Even the palm of his hand was pressed tightly against the back of
her hand.
