Chapter 700


    "This will be a breeze..." Ben took out another dart in full confidence.


    "Without touching the stem!" added Charlotte.


    For a split second, Ben was dumbfounded.


    Looking at Morgan with the rose in her lips with just a little stem poking out, he registered the difficulty


    in hitting the stem without harming the person.


    Now he couldn''t even hit the stem, but had to drop the petals on the ground?


    She just had to make things harder. Ben gritted his teeth.


    "Why? Not up for the challenge?" Charlotte raised her eyebrow, mocking. "It''s not toote for you to


    back down."


    Everyone else in the room had stopped whatever they were doing, focusing all their attention on the


    littlepetition between the Nachts and the Lindbergs. Some even brought their drinks, hoping for a


    good show. How could Ben possibly back down now?


    "Of course not," answered Ben instantly. "Challenge epted."


    "Show them how it''s done, Ben!" cheered Marino.

    He had been mocked and humiliated by Morgan, the fire of his rage is still burning hot. Right then and


    there, Marino hoped that Ben would restore their integrity.


    "So childish." Morgan rolled her eyes at the men, still holding the rose between her teeth.


    "Fair warning, Mr. Nacht." Charlotte raised her ss and gave a stern look towards the men, "If there is


    even a scratch on Morgan, I shall destroy all of you." "Heard that?" Zachary raised an eyebrow at Ben.


    "Don''t worry Mr. Nacht." Ben frowned. Even though he knew it wouldn''t be easy, it''s toote to quit now.


    "Let''s begin!" Impatient, Lupine took out a dart. She turned to Ben and raised her eyebrow in a mocking


    manner. "Go ahead. I''ll give you a head start."


    Feeling his pride and dignity being threatened, Ben declined. "No need for that. Ladies first," he said,


    gesturing to Morgan.


    "Okay," Lupine did not hesitate. She held the dart and took a few strides back, allowing the distance


    between her and Morgan to be a good twenty meters. Narrowing her eyes, she aimed the dart


    towards the rose in Morgan''s lips...


    Whoosh! The dart flew across the distance and right through the center of the rose. The liquid on the


    flower sshed all over Morgan.


    Morgan closed her eyes reflectively. When she reopened them, a few shredded bits of the rose petals


    hung on her eyshes.


    "Brilliant!" A few merchants apuded in awe.


    Lupine''s aim was sharp and precise. The dart only pierced through the petals, and the stem did not


    even move. The dart finallynded on the dartboard, shaking slightly at the impact.


    "Your turn." Morgan smiled triumphantly at Ben and walked to the side.


    Ben held a dart and headed towards the position where Lupine stood. He aimed his dart and drew his


    hand back, prepare to shoot. Before he could, however, Charlotte quipped, "Without touching the


    sepals either."


    Ben widened his eyes, at a loss for words. "Why didn''t you say so earlier?"


    Lupine had hit the middle section of the flower, leaving only the messy bottom half held together by the


    sepals. If they weren''t allowed to even hit the sepals, it wouldplicate things further.


    "I didn''t hit it either just now." shrugged Lupine with a smirk.


    "You..." Ben gnawed his teeth in frustration. But with all eyes on him, he decided to not pick a petty fight


    with a woman and let it slide.


    "Good luck, Ben!" cheered Marino in a cold sweat, feeling anxious for Ben.


    Zachary on the other hand sipped his drink elegantly without even lifting his gaze.


    "You don''t seem to have any bit of worry, Mr. Nacht,” teased Charlotte. "What if you lose? Wouldn''t that


    be embarrassing?”


    Zachary swirled the ss in his hands before smiling, "The Nachts never lose," he dered


    confidently.


    At those words, Ben''s dart flew across the room and urately pierced through the petals, missing the


    sepals by a few millimeters.


    The petals were torn and scattered,nding softly on Morgan, adding hints of color on her ck suit.


    Yet the scene looked undeniably beautiful...


    "Awesome!" The crowd burst into cheers and apuse.


    Even though Ben did not knock down as many petals as Lupine did, he managed to hit the target


    precisely without scratching anything else. At that, the crowd was impressed.


    "Not bad.” Charlotte curled her lips into a smile. "I''ve underestimated you."


    "Hmpf," huffed Ben and gestured for Lupine to take her next shot. He was interested to see what


    Lupine would do next.


    The rose was now utterly disheveled, with only tiny bits of petals left. To sessfully hit the petals that


    were left was already a challenge by itself, much less to knock them down.
