Second Chances

Chapter 164 

At this moment, she saw Josiah, 

Josiah said, “Miss Wilson, even if you ask Mr. Hall, he doesn’t know. He just came.” 

He had just heard Liam’s warning outside the door. 

Liam was Team Thunder’s boss, and Emma was his boss. 

He could not afford to offend them. Therefore, his words were actually helping Liam to establish an alibi. 

Liam secretly glanced at him to express his approval. 

When Emma heard Josiah’s words, she did not suspect much. 

She asked, “So? Is he still alive?” 

“Dead.” Josiah said regretfully, “Miss Wilson, did he say anything else to you that night?” 

Emma could not help but feel disappointed. She shook her head and said, “No, he only drew something for me.” 

Regarding it, she had thought of all kinds of possibilities. 

She thought, ‘What did his painting mean? 

‘Was it a cross?‘ 

There was too little information for her. 

As she thought about it, Emma’s head started to hurt again. 

Liam quickly supported her and said, “Emma, your body has just recovered. Don’t overwork yourself. 

“Why don’t you draw the painting exactly for me and I’ll help you think about it, okay?” 

Emma nodded. She took a pen and paper and copied it to Liam according to her memory. 

She was discharged not long after. 

After discharge, she took sick leave from Charon Military School. 

On the one hand, it was because her body needed to recuperate. 

On the other hand, she had to find out the information in that painting with Liam.

Emma said, “Many people said that Justine died of a heart attack, but there was no heart attack in her autopsy report. That person also said that there was no heart attack.” 

Liam said, “So at the very least, heart disease can be ruled out.” 

Emma lowered her head in deep thought and said, “What kind of method could allow someone to die without warning in front of so many people in the Krot Competition? 

“Moreover, she was foaming at the mouth and her limbs were twitching. Could it be that someone poisoned her?” 

Liam had also been looking for the mastermind behind the bomb. 

However, the internet address showed that it was overseas. 

Even if the murderer was sent back, it would take a long time. 

It seemed like there was no progress, but Liam had made a major discovery. 

He asked, “Do you remember Blanche?” 

Emma suddenly thought of this and replied, “Yes. Did she remember anything?” 

Liam shook his head and said, “Her skills are ordinary, but I found her coach back then. 

“Her coach witnessed Justine’s death with his own eyes. 

“That’s where he was standing.” 

Then, he gave Emma a rough direction on the field. 

When Emma saw this direction, her eyes immediately lit up! 

She thought, ‘It was a low pile net! 

Justine died when she crossed the low pile net.‘ 

Liam continued, “Emma, you have to make a trip to the scene personally to investigate what’s wrong with the low pile net.” 

Emma looked at handsome Liam and suddenly felt a surge of passionate love in her heart. 

She suddenly threw herself into Liam’s arms! 

Liam was surprised by her sudden enthusiasm. He hugged her even more firmly and felt the moisture in her eyes. 

His voice was dry and he asked, “Why are you crying?”

Emma replied, “I just suddenly want to thank you!” 

She thought, “Thank you for always standing so firmly by my side. Give me love, give me salvation! Even though you did not say anything, I could feel it. 

‘Every time the person who takes me out of danger is you! Even if you didn’t say it, I could feel it… 

Three days later, Emma returned to Charon Military School. 

After returning to school this time, she trained even harder because she wanted to participate in the Krot Competition at the end of this year. 

This was the only way she could personally go to the site for a field trip. 

There were often people who saw her wake up early to train. 

At night, she also trained crazily. 

Sometimes, one could still see her staring blankly at the low pile net. 

Her previous leave had already deducted a lot of her points. 

If she wanted to qualify for the Krot Competition, she must be the top one in the entire school every time. 

Lane could tell that something was bothering her. 

One night, she deliberately watched Emma’s training quietly from afar. 

Only after her training ended did Lane dare to go up and disturb her. 

She said, “Miss Wilson, did something happen when you took leave this time?” 

‘Lane understood Emma. She would not take leave unless she had no choice. 

Emma confessed, “I want to participate in the Krot Competition at the end of the year!” 

Lane’s eyes lit up when she heard that she was going to participate in the Krot Competition. 

She asked, “Really? That’s great! That’s my dream competition!” 

Emma said, “That’s why I want to train hard.” 

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her calf, 

“What’s going on? Are you alright?” Lane asked as she quickly went to support her. 

Emma replied, “I’m fine. I might have strained my calf because of the intensity of the training recently.”

Lane frowned and said, “You should rest well. With your standard, you don’t need such high–intensity training. 

“Don’t forget, the midterm exam is in half a month.” 

The midterm exam was more important than the monthly exams. 

The method of this midterm exam had yet to be announced, but there were rumors that it might be a field battle and there was a certain level of danger. 

Lane continued, “It’s not worth it if you fail the midterm exams because of excessive training.” 

“Lane.” Suddenly, Emma grabbed her hand. 

“No matter what happens, we have to be safe and sound in this exam!” 

Her words were a little sudden. 

Lane was a little confused. But soon, she nodded solemnly. 

She replied, “Don’t worry, Miss Wilson. 

“I’ll always be there for you!” 

“Emma, I want to be with you forever and take care of you.” In that instant, she thought of Justine’s words again. 

Lane was sometimes very similar to Justine, but they were two completely different people. 

In the dark night, there was a faint sigh. 

Emma thought, ‘Dummy, I’ll be able to avenge you soon.” 

The next day, the instructor started a new course. 

He said, “Attention! At ease! 

“Today, we will officially start learning how to shoot in the wild! Every one of you has a chance to touch a real gun. 

“But I’ll say this first. Weapons are very dangerous! If anyone is stupid and doesn’t practice according to the rules, regardless of whether they lose their lives or kill someone, they will bear the consequences!” 

Emma was now dressed in uniform and carrying an automatic rifle. 

Everyone faced the forest and prepared for the shot. 

The instructor carried his weapon and introduced it in a strong voice. “Our common guns are automatic rifles, assault rifles, machine guns, carbines, and submachine guns. 

“What you’re holding in your hands is called an automatic rifle. 

“It uses the pressure of the gunpowder gas and the force of the spring to complete a series of actions such as pushing, locking, firing, ejecting, and feeding, just like this.” 

After the instructor finished speaking, he immediately opened fire at the deep forest where there was no one in the 

distance. 

The sound was majestic and powerful. 

was! 

This was the first time the students had touched a real weapon. All of them were hot–blooded! 

Each of them had a target in front of them. 

The instructor reminded them again, “It’s your first attempt. You’ll be considered outstanding if you hit the target. 

You’ll be rewarded if you hit the bullseye! 

“I’ll emphasize again! Safe! Safe! Be safe! Do you hear me?” 

“I hear you!” Everyone spoke in unison. Once they were at a safe distance, they opened fire together. 

Emma was not in a hurry to shoot. 

She just stared at the target, her eyes slightly narrowed. 

She thought about the way Justine died that day and her eyes were filled with anger! 

A boy stood beside her. Seeing her like this, he thought that she was afraid and did not dare to shoot. 

The boy immediately smiled proudly and said, “Miss Wilson, I didn’t expect you to be afraid of something too. 

“It’s okay. Girls are weaker than boys. It’s normal for you to be timid. 

“This rifle is for practice. It won’t kill you! You can learn from me. Look!” 

As he spoke, he fired a bullet.
