The shooting range was quite crowded when they arrived though. Present inside the area were the ladies from the prominent families in Hainan who ca together with their respective assistants. They were there to accompany the respective Young Master Mos.
Also, mbers from the branch families who shared the sa passion in shooting were also present and was being accompanied by their other-halfs in life at the sa ti.
They imdiately stopped what they were doing the mont they saw Mada Mo going towards their direction and was being accompanied by a woman who's face was being concealed by the cap and mask.
Their curiosity towards the woman intensified as soon as they saw how Mada Mo treated her. They seed quite close.
Despite that, they still showed their respect as they politely greeted Mada Mo.
But they could not hide the shock in their face the mont they had a clear view of the mysterious woman's face.
The won present in the area could not stop themselves not to be insecure when they looked at Kim Eunji's face.
How co the heaven was so unfair to them? That was what on their minds.
Their expression turned sour as they looked at their respective husbands, lover and crush who were wearing a dreamy look on their faces while looking at Kim Eunji.
Right then, the strong feeling of hatred towards Kim Eunji erged in their hearts. They hated Kim Eunji for coveting their respective n. The young ladies from the prominent families were already formulating evil plans towards Kim Eunji in their heads.
But since they were inside the compound of the Mo Ancestral Manor, they had to hide that hatred carefully. They're afraid that they might bring trouble upon themselves and respective families instead if Mada Mo found out about their hatred for her.
That's why when Mada Mo looked towards their direction, the hatred in their eyes imdiately vanished as if nothing happened. They had to show that they're also stunned by her beauty.
Mada Mo witnessed that and she proudly smiled back at them and approached Kim Jeong Ho's group who were still oblivious to what's was happening around them as they were busy assembling the gun and then shooting their target.
They were having a good ti and was even giggling in between.
As Mada Mo reached their spot, the boys politely greeted Mada Mo. And just like the others, they saw how Kim Eunji chard them with her looks.
'Goddaughter?!' They asked in astonishnt.
The crowd looked at their interaction with envy evident in their eyes.
Between Master Mo and Mada Mo, Mada Mo was the one who's harder to please. Therefore, the woman must be extraordinary to make Mada Mo like her.
When Kim Eunji expressed her interest to learn shooting with a gun, Mada Mo had no other choice but to let Kim Eunji do what she wanted to do.
She then watched Kim Eunji as she slowly walked towards the desk where there were a few 9mm pistols resting on top.
The second cousin nad Mo Ting let Kim Eunji chose her gun for the shooting practice.
He asked if Kim Eunji had held a gun in the past. Kim Eunji nodded but she answered no when he asked her if she had fired a gun before.
Yes, Kim Eunji did once held a gun but she had not fired it. She dismantled it.
Mo Ting did not explain anything about guns but he was impressed when Kim Eunji picked up a Beretta 92FS for this shooting practice.
"Let show you how to shoot." Mo Ting started. Kim Eunji's gaze followed his every move.
Without giving any warning he pulled the trigger an then...
"Bang!"
The sound of the gunshot echoed as he fired on the target several yards away from them.
Bulls eye!
The crowd thought that the fragile looking Kim Eunji would run or at least be intimidated when she heard a gunshot but she was smugly looking at the target and then at the gun that Mo Ting used.
They didn't know that Kim Eunji was calculating and then comparing in her head which was faster between the bullet which had just pierced the target or her needles if thrown at the sa ti.
She smirked when she concluded that her needles were a lot faster than those bullets.
"Do you want to try now or do you want to show you more?" Kin Eunji's eyebrows quirked the mont she heard Mo Ting's question.
Kim Eunji was silent. She picked the Beretta 92FS back in her hands. She aid at the target and then took a couple of breaths.
'Not bad.' She comnted in her thoughts. She then closed her eyes and "Bang!".
After she had fired a gun, she calmly opened her eyes, placed the gun back to the desk and then turned around and walked towards Mada Mo.
'That's it?' Mo Ting and company thought in their minds.
"Did she hit it?" One of the won in the area asked her companion.
"I don't think so. I think she missed the target. There's still one bullet hole on the target. See?" The companion explained her observation.
They inwardly grinned as soon as they thought Kim Eunji had embarrassed themselves.
"Let's go Mom... You're right. This thing is not for ." She told Mada Mo who then happily wrapped her arms around Kim Eunji's slender arms as she said, "Right! Let's go!"
The two left the shooting range leaving Mo Ting and company behind.
Mo Ting was with Kim Jeong Ho when the senior staff approached them.
"Fourth Young Master Mo, your shooting skills had been very superb these days! The last bullet you fired split the previous one into halves." He praised him.
"..."
In his years of working in the Mo Family as the shooting range's custodian, never in his life had he witnessed such thing.
Though the complint was intended for him, Mo Ting still frowned upon hearing this.
"I'm sorry Uncle Jing but I think there must be so misunderstanding here." Mo Ting, though he had been proud of his shooting skills and his position in the Military, he would never dare claim soone else's accomplishnt as his.
"Eh? What do you an? Aren't you the one who fired the last shot?" Now it was Uncle Jing's turn to be confused this ti.
"It's not ." He honestly replied.
"It was Sister Eunji." Mo Ping, the first cousin who happened to hear their conversation butted in.
"!!!" They were speechless.
"What? The beautiful woman who left with Mada Mo?!" Uncle Jing asked.
"Yes. Sister Eunji." Kim Jeong Ho confird.
"Then she should be an elite level shooter!" Uncle Jing remarked.
"Eh? But she said she had not used a gun in the past. In fact Brother Mo Ting even showed him how to shoot first." Mo Ping explained.
"A novice? I don't think so. Captain Mo, one thing's for sure, she's a gem!" Uncle Jing then turned his back and left the place, leaving the three young lad in disbelief.
They thought that the reason why Kim Eunji left earlier was because she missed the target which was normal for soone who had not firee a gun in the past. They thought she was embarrassed by the poor results. There was no other bullet hole in the target that's why they thought she missed.
But who would have thought she was this exceptional. A marksman? No way!

It was now ti for dinner and Mada Mo were hosting a banquet for a celebration. They had just found out that Kelly was already pregnant with the latest addition to their Mo Family.
Mo Jing-sheng was an only child after all. Therefore, the elders had been in pure happiness when they found out that Kelly was pregnant.
They were even scolding Mo Jing-sheng for not informing them the soonest. Had they known, they would then installed anti-slippery matts and rubber insulations on the floors to prevent Kelly from tripping.
Poor Mo Jing-sheng, he was called as an irresponsible father and husband by his very own mother.
"Mom. It's not Ah Jing's fault. I convinced him to not tell it to you sooner. We wanted to announce the pregnancy during the wedding. But who would have thought that my morning sickness would spoil the surprise." Kelly defended her husband.
"Alright. Now's not the ti for that. Let's eat first." Master Mo reminded them.
"Okay. Kelly dear. Do you want sothing? Are you craving for sothing sour?" Mada Mo asked Kelly. Seeing that everyone's attention was on her, she was a little bit intimidated by it. Therefore she seek help to Mo Jing-sheng.
"What's wrong?" Mo Jing-sheng asked. Kelly lean near his ear to whisper sothing. Mo Jing-sheng nodded and then looked at his parents.
"Mom. Dad. Kelly wanted to go back to our room. She's not feeling well."
"Child, you should have told us sooner. You don't have to suffer." Mada Mo gently reminded her.
"I'm sorry Mom. It's impolite to leave while having dinner."
"You're an exception child. Go rest. I'll send congee to your room for your dinner." Mada Mo was helpless. She wanted Kelly to be there and join them for dinner. It was their first al together as an in-law. But she had to let the latter go because she's not feeling well.
Mo Jing-sheng accompanied Kelly back to their room.
Now that Kelly was gone. Kim Eunji suddenly beca uncomfortable.
Mada Mo saw that she's uneasy therefore she made sure to accommodate her. She paid extra attention to Kim Eunji.
The long dinning table were occupied by the Mo Family mbers and Nathan Bai. In fact, Mada Mo arranged for the two to be seated together.
"Eunji Darling, eat more. I know won in this generation wanted to have and maintain a slim figure but sacrificing your al or starving yourself is also bad to your health." She reminded Kim Eunji.
Mada Mo chose the abalone dish and placed it on Kim Eunji's plate.
Kim Eunji did not hesitate to eat them.
While they were eating Mada Mo suddenly asked.
"So Eunji darling. Have you known Kelly that long? Don't get the wrong idea. She's my precious daughter-in-law. I just want to know what she liked and disliked to accommodate her better." Mada Mo explained.
"I t Kelly when I was 16. But we're not that close back then. We beca close when... I was forced to leave ho. Since then, we treated each other as sisters." She shortly told.
"Don't worry, Kel's not a picky eater. She's the most accommodating and sweetest person in the world. She's just sensitive due to pregnancy." Kim Eunji explained in behalf of Kelly.
"How about you darling? What are your likes and dislikes?" Mada Mo had asked this on purpose.
"I'm not a picky eater." Kim Eunji shortly answered.
Though Mada Mo wanted to know more about Kim Eunji, she decided to stop herself and chose to continue asking her questions on the ti that she's comfortable to open up her feelings to them.
Nathan who had been silently eating his food was also paying close attention to the woman beside him.
He also realized that Kim Eunji's beauty was so eye catching and the n present in the dinning hall had been secretly looking at her even though they were already married or had their respective partners seated beside them.
He suddenly wanted to hide her from them. The thought of abducting her and keeping her in his place suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Seems like he's going crazy because of a woman! He had to address this matter sooner or later.
He felt the need to do sothing about her!
