Chapter 1602: 1601 confirm identity
“Miss Zhuang Rou, I think your shooting skills are impressive; that’s why I have asked you to come here today to demonstrate your marksmanship,” Gand said. “Do you practice any techniques that could quickly turn someone into a sharpshooter?”
Tan Rou honestly replied to him, “My shooting skills were honed in dangerous situations, where if I couldn’t win, I would die. Moreover, it took me many years to reach this level, so I don’t think I can turn your warriors into sharpshooters in a short period of time.”
Gand’s expression was displeased, his brow furrowed as he seemed lost in thought.
Suddenly, Tan Rou thought of the black-clad assassins who had appeared that night; she was still unsure if those gunmen were members of the Dawn Society, but now an opportunity had arrived for her to find out.
“Mr. Gand, don’t worry. Although I can’t immediately turn them into sharpshooters, I can create the most suitable training plans based on their characteristics,” Tan Rou began to bluff Gand. “In my country, there is an educational concept called ‘teaching according to one’s aptitude.’ I have always been educated this way; surely no one could know better than me how to make a training plan.”
Gand was really taken in by her bluff. He didn’t understand the situation in Country C or what ‘teaching according to one’s aptitude’ meant, but he felt the term was very sophisticated.
“Alright, let’s proceed with your plan then,” Gand said.
Tan Rou walked around them and then spoke, “Before we start making plans, I need to see their current shooting level.”
Gand had no objections; he had the Dawn guards dress in training uniforms, and then each demonstrated for Tan Rou.
When they took out their guns, Tan Rou knew she had found the right people because the guns they used were the same as the ones Hamillen used that night.
Now it was certain—the black-clad people were Hamillen, the black-clad assassins were members of the Dawn Society, and the zombies were also created by the Dawn Society.
Although Tan Rou’s purpose was to see them using guns, as she had already spoken, she couldn’t just leave without doing anything. If she did, Gand would likely not let her go.
She randomly picked one person and pointed at his gun, “Your hand is trembling, a fine warrior should not tremble.”
The Dawn guard didn’t respond to Tan Rou’s comment; his eyes glued to the target as if he hadn’t heard her.
Tan Rou was puzzled and repeated, “Hey, your hand is trembling. You can’t tremble while shooting.”
“No… don’t want to…” the Dawn guard mumbled unclearly, “Don’t want to… kill…”
Tan Rou didn’t hear his articulation clearly and asked again, “What are you saying?”
Gand walked up to him, speaking sternly, “As a warrior, all you need to do is obey orders!”
The Dawn guard quickly adjusted his emotions, his hands stopped trembling, and he stopped speaking, only fixing his gaze on the target.
Tan Rou didn’t show any surprise; she continued, “That’s better. As warriors, you can’t be afraid. If you were afraid, who would protect your family and friends?”
Gand was very pleased with Tan Rou’s reply, “Miss Zhuang Rou is right, so next, we’ll trouble Miss Zhuang Rou to make a training plan for them.”
Tan Rou nodded, “Okay, I will do as Mr. Gand requests.”
Next, Tan Rou gave some brief guidance to these Dawn guards. She noticed that these people rarely spoke or listened to her, only moving according to Gand’s commands when he was present.
Tan Rou wasn’t blind; she had already realized that these people were not normal, probably controlled like those zombies. But they were different from the zombies, they still had at least a little bit of their own awareness, and they knew pain when hit.
As dawn was nearly breaking, Tan Rou planned to end the training for tonight, “Mr. Gand, I will leave now; let’s continue training next time.”
However, Gand stopped her, “Miss Zhuang Rou, since you have become a member of the Dawn Society, we must offer you the greatest benefits.”
Tan Rou asked without changing her expression, “What benefits?”
Gand replied with a smile, “Naturally, the benefits of staying here.”
