Chapter 281 The Holdup

In situations like these, Lucius typically finds punishment somewhat rewarding. Still, this time, it was evident that

she was taking the fall for something she didn’t do.

Going out of her way to ensure the story remained on track, she had been determined to set Lucius up with

Stephanie. A deeper look showed that Lucius was actually not at fault

Ultimately, she had no one to blbut herself.

Taking a deep breath, Milly moved forward. “Instructor, Lucius didn’t do anything wrong. This was my

mistake. *

Hearing her, Xavier squinted and pivoted slowly, an apparent displeasure in his eyes.

But Milly was no stranger to those looks.

His gaze always held disdain or sarcasm-nothing she hadn't seen before.

With a hint of irony, Xavier asked, “And you have an explanation for this?”

Milly explained, ‘Instructor, noticing how Stephanie seemed isolated coming to our school alone, | thought it'd be

nice to introduce her to a friend. Since Lucius and | hit it off well, he cto mind. Unfortunately, this led to

confusion, resulting in what happened.”

Before Xavier could say anything, Lucius mocked, “You were introducingto someone?”

Milly quickly tried to silence him. “Lucius, not now! I'm trying to get us out of this mess!”

Lucius replied indifferently. “Hmph.”

Milly pressed, “Could you not?”

Lucius repeated. “Hmph”

Frustration bubbled in Milly. “Make that noise again. See if | don’t lose it!”

She thought, even though she had felt a pang of guilt earlier, and willingly cforward. She might have let him

fend for himself if she had known his stubborn attitude.

Xavier seemed sceptical. “Just a misunderstanding?”

Milly stood her ground. “Absolutely. If the Instructor is doubting me, feel free to ask Stephanie.”

The thought crossed her mind. Valuing her reputation, Stephanie wouldn't possibly admit to asking Lucius to

leave publicly.

Xavier's hands were tied without her confirmation, and he was forced to see it as a simple mix-up.

Facing Xavier with confidence, Milly waited for the verdict.

The air was sliced by a loud ‘Reporting!”

That voice... Anthony?

1/3

Chapter 281 The Holdup.

The smile that had begun to form on Milly's lips stiffened. Today was just not her day!

Why did he have to arrive right now?

Talk about bad timing.

Understanding Stephanie as she did and knowing Xavier's knowledge of Stephanie's carlier scheming, the wise

move would've been to chalk it all up to a misunderstanding.

Now that Anthony had made an unexpected appearance, Xavier found an easy way to divert his focus,

essentially giving himself a way out.

Moreover, this was a perfect chance to set things straight with them alongside Anthony.

As expected, Xavier's attention shifted to Anthony, sternly asking. “Your reason for being late?”

Anthony responded with a discreet eye roll. “Instructor, you mentioned yesterday that if we can show mastery in

all our subjects, there's no need to attend the training program. Given that today’s session was on shooting and

considering my proficiency, | opted out!“.

At this, everyone turned their attention to them, and students from other classes even stole glances.

It's one thing to be confident, but outright declaring mastery? That certainly raised more than a few eyebrows.

It sounded awfully like a boast.

Anthony stood with undeniable confidence as if saying, “What's got your attention?‘ clearly feeling like a legend

in marksmanship.

Having honed his shooting skills all summer, he’d reached a point where missing the bullseye was foreign

to him.

With a hint of menace, Xavier looked at him and asked, “What's with the arrogance?”

Unfazed, Anthony replied, “It’s just who | am.”

Xavier gave a sly smile. “Alright, since you're so confident, how about you take a shot at it yourself? I'll make it

easy on you. Hit the bullseye with every shot, and not only will I let you skip training, but we'll also forget about

you being late.”

“And if | miss?”

Anthony laughed dismissively, locking eyes confidently. “If | miss by even one ring, feel free to do whatever you

think is necessary.”

Xavier's expression turned cold. “Deal.”

Xavier then turned to Milly and Lucius and said, “Hit the ninth ring, and all is forgiven. Anything less, and there'll

be consequences.”

Milly needed clarification.

What a blatant way to shift responsibility!

“Instructor, I'm not familiar with firearms at all!” She doubted she could even manage to hit the ninth ring.

Xavier, unflinching, responded, “You'll have to deal with the fallout then.”

Milly was in disbelief.

In an unexpected move, Anthony said, “If I nail every shot, Milly’s off the hook. If not, I'll run twenty kilometres

with extra weight.”

This declaration created quite a buzz.

Twenty kilometres with extra weight? That's a beast of a challenge.

Usually, it takes about half an hour to drive that distance.

Milly tried to calm the situation, hinting at Anthony to back down. Despite Xavier's being his brother,

antagonising him was risky.

She attempted to lighten the mood with a laugh. “He’s just kidding

But Anthony was dead serious. “Joking? Not at all. | can make the shot.”

Milly was speechless. It seemed there was no stopping him.
