Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 96

Winona fell heavily to the ground and Matt instantly felt his heart tightened.

“Boss, do you want...” Felix hesitated.

Matt stared closely at her lying on the stage, persuading himself, “I believe in her.”

Just now she was still fighting with quick moves, ready to defeat her opponent. But now she fell on the stage. There must be something wrong.

“Go over and see if someone has cheated!” he ordered.

“Okay!” Felix replied.

Then Felix came closer to the ring with his body bent.

At this moment, the referee in the ring began to blow the whistle. If after three whistles Winona did not stand up, she would be eliminated.

Winona was obviously stunned by the fall, but she knew she could not give up at this moment. Otherwise, she would lose more than just her face. As the third whistle was about to sound, she leapt up swiftly, and when her opponent was surprised at her resilience, she raised her foot and kicked her away.

Even the referee could not help but exclaim, “Well done!”

She won the round. Then she walked straight to the woman lying on the ground in pain, squatted down and looked at her. “If you can’t afford to lose, why did you go to the ring? Why did you play tricks behind my back?”

The woman glowered at her. “You just rely on a man to back you up, so what’s so great about you?”

Winona snorted, “But the truth is that I defeated you with my own power.”

Feeling embarrassed, the woman got up and left in a mess.

By this time, Felix had returned to Matt’s side. He spread his palm, revealing a glass bead.

“No wonder Winona suddenly fell down. That woman played a filthy trick!” Felix said.

Fiddling with the glass bead, Matt thought of Winona’s heavy fall at the ring. Suddenly, he hissed. “Collect all the glass beads on the ring and let the woman swallow them one by one.”

Felix gave him a thumb up. “Good idea.”

Herman reminded him in a small voice, “Matt, that woman is the granddaughter of Senator Channing. If we do this, won’t we offend him?”

Matt glanced at him coldly, as if saying he did not care.

Herman then shut up and instructed Felix to do as he was told quickly.

After the combat match, there was the shooting match. Winona and Lilian were in the same group.

Lilian was arrogant. After all, shooting was something she was good at. She gripped the gun and shot ten times in a row which all hit the target. When she put down the gun, she deliberately took off the chamber and placed it on the table casually. The shooting time was ten seconds. And she did not believe that Winona could finish loading the gun and shooting within ten seconds. It was quite difficult even for a professional soldier.

She turned around and said with a fake smile, “Winona, you have to try hard. Since Matty is watching, you cannot disgrace him.”

Winona noticed all her small tricks and sneeared. “Knock it off. You made both yourself and me sick. So why bother?”

“You bitch!” Lilian felt angry.

“Also, My husband hated others to call him Matty.” Winona said.

“Winona!” Lilian shouted.

“Well, stop acting like Snow White when you're clearly a Maleficent.” Winona added.

Lilian was so furious that she could not say a word. But once she thought that Winona could not win this game, she felt less angry. So she instantly smiled. “Okay. I will wait and see.”

Winona walked to the table with a calm face. It seemed that she did not notice anything wrong, which made Lilian happy. Lilian stood aside with full complacency. Winona was just like a sparrow who could never become the noble phoenix. Although she did something to the gun, Winona would not find it out. Maybe someone like Winona had never touched a gun before.

But just when the whistle blew, Lilian became dumbfounded. Before she could see how Winona loaded the gun, she heard ten shots. It was perfect and none of them missed the target!

She could not help but exclaim, “This can’t be!”

The referee impatiently said, “If anyone has any objections, they can come over and check it out for themselves.”

Lilian came to the target and took a closer look at the bullet holes. When she saw the fruit that had been knocked to the ground not far away through the holes, she got completely stunned.

This was a special shooting range for soldiers. The small animals nearby seemed to have gotten used to the sound and were more daring. At this time, a hedgehog was rolling the fruit on the ground and taking it away slowly.

Winona came over and said with a smile, “Little hedgehog, be careful next time. This kind of fruit is not so easy to get.”

Lilian looked complicated on her face, being shocked, doubtful and jealous...

She had been training with Matt since she was a child, which was how she acquired the shooting skill she was proud of. But what made Winona better than her?

As if having read her mind, Winona casually tucked her hair behind her ears and said with a relaxing and sweet smile, “My husband is a sharpshooter in the barracks, and I learned a few tricks from him.”

So it was Matt who taught Winona. Lilian felt her words like a dagger stabbed into her heart. Winona was intentionally showing off Matt’s love for her.

Lilian was quite furious but she held back her anger and fondled the ring in her hand. Then she showed a slight sinister smile. Weren’t there two more matches in the afternoon? She would see who was the one laughing in the end!

Winona smiled and went over to Matt, who excitedly hugged her and spun her around. “Little devil, you are amazing!”

She looked proud. “Well, I am so gifted. If I had been in the military earlier, I would have been on top of you!”

Seeing her proud little face, he was overjoyed. Pinching her cheeks affectionately, he snickered. “As long as you want, you can be on top of me at any time.”

She blushed and pounded his chest with her fist. “Matt, aren't you ashamed?”

He laughed aloud because he liked this shy and proud look of hers.

His laughter drew the attention of the crowd.

“Yah, so the cold-faced man can laugh so happily?” someone said.

“It seems that General Snider really likes her. He is looking at her dotingly,” another one said.

“Wow, General Snider is so tender and handsome,” a girl added.

Lilian followed the direction of the buzz and saw the two flirting in the distance. Though she was so jealous, she also felt a bit sad. It seemed that he could also smile so happily. But he only showed his tenderness to Winona.

The contestants ate in the designated area. Each of them was given a standard four dishes and one soup. Lilian took her tray and sat opposite Winona.

“Winona, you don’t mind, do you?”

“Yes, I do. I fear that I will lose my appetite.”

Winona picked up her tray and wanted to leave but Lilian grabbed her tray suddenly. At the same time, her ring finger tilted slightly. “Winona, are you afraid of me?”
