Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1046 Extra Story 27 Of Sweetness Between Bri And Mol The Result

One Gefreiter curiously asked, "Why didn't Brian shoot the heart?"

"Because even though the heart, being part of a bigger mass, is an easier target to hit, with a well-placed head shot, one can easily put down their targets with more certainty!" Red Falcon explained, looking at the target boards observantly. "Shooting a target between the eyebrows is deadly but it is also the most difficult to do properly." There was still something else he didn't mention to his comrades. He noticed Brian's technique at the time and realized it then that Brian could have finished the challenge in under three minutes and twenty- eight seconds if he wanted to. Instead he decided to save Edgar's face.

The audience were on the edge of their seats, rubbing their hands with excitement.

It seemed as though they wanted to have a go at the challenge to see if they could do it. However, wishful thinking aside, they all knew their own abilities well.

Finally, it was time for the third round. The crowd were going wild at the sidelines, cheering and hooting.

"Ready? Go!" Red Falcon announced the commencement of the third round.

In that frozen second between stand off and fighting the people's eyes flicked from Edgar to Brian. Their faces were unreadable, no fear, no invitational smirk. The audience could feel the intensity and tension in the air. "This represents Dragon Island's combat effectiveness," The military officer of the highest rank remarked. "I think we should discuss more with the politicians and plan for more joint exercises."

"Yes, I agree." The person next to him responded, "Last time when we staged a live-fire exercise, we lost to them because of our arrogance and ego. We underestimated their abilities because we outnumbered them."

The military officer laughed and said, "We both have lost and won. Don't take it to heart. We can only hope to put up a better fight next time..."

"That's true."

While they conversed about various issues, Edgar and Brian flew at each other like rabid pit bulls. This time bare-knuckled, using their bodies as weapons. They circled, tussling and trying to get proper hold on the opponent. They exchanged powerful punches that would knock out lesser men. The crowd went silent in dread anticipation.

Daniel didn't blink his eye even once, afraid that he would miss a detail. He couldn't hold a conversation or sit still while his thoughts danced in infinite directions.

Cathy was a technical soldier, so she didn't know too much about this apart from some basic combat skills. However, even her knowledge allowed her to understand the magnitude of what occurred in the last two rounds.

She knew that Brian was better than most people, but she didn't expect that his skills would put Edgar's to shame. Amazed by Brian's ability, a menacing smirk appeared on her lips and then disappeared soon after.

"Ah!"

The audience, a myriad of awe-struck faces-like beads on a bead-work pattern, in different layers, all fell silent as Edgar fell down to the ground after receiving a ham-fisted haymaker across the jaw. Everyone stood witness to the fact that Edgar would have been dead if this had been a real battlefield!

Edgar lay on the ground, defeated, panting for air and looking up at Brian who stared down at him. Having been beaten at the hands of a worthy opponent, Edgar smiled and said, "The leader of XK Intelligence Agency lives up to his reputation!" Brian shook off the pain and simply walked away from Edgar slowly.

The world spun as Edgar staggered to his feet, braced himself on a post, and said, "When they said someone defeated Howard effortless, I didn't believe it, until now. It could only be you. I've learned a valuable lesson today."

Suffice it to say, there was no shame in losing to the guys at XK Intelligence Agency. In fact, every experience was an opportunity to learn and grow.

Without turning a hair, Brian stopped and said, "Did you do all of this just so you could confirm my identity?"

Edgar shook his head and said, "I just wanted to get a weight off my mind... But this is actually an unexpected bonus." He paused, then added, "Daniel's wedding is in seven to eight days. If you're interested--" "No!"

Edgar was rudely interrupted by Brian before he could finish his words.

"How rude..." Edgar shook his head in disbelief, "Is this my consolation prize for being nice?"

Squinting his fiery eyes at Edgar, Brian shook his head in disapproval and walked off the platform. The captivated audience crowded Brian at the exit, wanting to congratulate him and shake his hands.

"Excuse me. Everybody, please step back! Step back!" Daniel said, rolling his eyes, "Please let Mr. Long go back and get some rest. If you have..." He gestured at Mount Hawk for help with the wink of an eye.

Mount Hawk immediately took the hint and called for the members of the Falcon Commando to stop the crowd from flocking to Brian.

Meanwhile, amidst all the hubbub of the crowd, Daniel and a team of armed guards escorted Brian and his family to the hostel. As they reached the exit, Brian turned to Daniel, "Don't you ever try to pull something like that on me again. Next time, I won't be so kind to you, even though you are Mol's brother."

"No, no, no. Believe me, I had nothing to do with any of that..." Daniel chuckled nervously at Brian's reaction. 'I don't care about you. My main objective was my sister.

Once I take my sister down, do you think I'll have to worry about Brian Long? No!'

Meanwhile, pandemonium erupted at the training grounds, as the people went berserk despite the fact that there were still some important senior military officers still present at the site. This drove Edgar blind with fury, as their inappropriate and shameful behavior reflected badly on Edgar.

Fortunately, as the senior military officers were all in a good mood, none of them felt bothered by it. They just ordered the Captains of each team to take their respective soldiers back for rest. Later as they saw Edgar, they all greeted him with smiles. "How are you feeling?" Edgar hung his head in disappointment and stood before them with the deep humility of a chidden child. "I have failed you. I've made you look bad in front of so many people. All I want to know is... How are you feeling?"¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
