The Billionaire's Genius Wife



He had no interest in joining the army either, as he didn't want to live a regulated life like a soldier. Consequently, he abandoned his shooting talent, and this place became rarely used for practice.

| "Now, this place is mostly utilized by the Riley family guards. Such a pity..." Carter continued, leaving Scarlett stunned by his words.

Indeed, Scarlett couldn't help but feel a sense of pity seeing such a high-tech shooting practice facility being utilized mainly by the guards. 

Her mind wandered back to The Fox, a highly advanced shooting range she had spent her entire time practicing when she was in the USA. That's where she became an expert in various shooting styles.

In the past, she had never understood why she possessed such natural talent for shooting. When she held a gun for the first time, she hit a bullseye at 20 meters and swiftly became a skilled marksman. 

But recently, Scarlett understood the reason behind her exceptional abilities—it was her Withers blood. Her mother, a gifted individual groomed to become the queen of the Underworld in X Country, possessed similar skills, particularly in martial arts and shooting. She inherited these talents, so Rex approached her to join The Fox.

At the time, Scarlett didn't think much about it and willingly joined because she knew The Fox didn't randomly kill people or take on unjust missions. They targeted only the corrupt and aided the vulnerable when the authorities could no longer do so. That was the nature of The Fox. 

However, beyond their circle, they were seen as a sadistic organization and misunderstood by many. Only a select few from the government or important figures knew their true purpose. Scarlett's biggest worry is that Xander believes that The Fox is a dangerous organization. That made her hesitate to tell him about her involvement with The Fox.

"Brother-in-law," Scarlett said as they arrived at the location of the third match, her tone serious. "...This facility is excellent. You should continue practicing!" she earnestly advised him.

"Hahaha, I don't need to practice anymore, sis!" Carter replied confidently. "My talent won't fade without practice. I'm still as sharp as ever."

Scarlett was left speechless. She couldn't help but wonder what Carter's reaction would be once he saw the results of the match. Would he kneel before her and acknowledge her as his superior, or perhaps be overwhelmed with shock and faint?

Her curiosity grew, and she eagerly anticipated Carter's reaction.

Soon after, the same officials announced the rules for the final match.

"This is the final match. It's quite simple... You have 10 minutes in the arena, and your objective is to eliminate the randomly appearing targets within that time. There will be a total of 25 targets. The winner will be determined by the highest score and fastest completion time."

Scarlett and Carter nodded, indicating their understanding, and entered separate rooms simultaneously.

Meanwhile, in the control room, Xander sat on the couch, engrossed in his cell phone, paying no attention to the ongoing match. He completely disregarded the live stream and the discussions among Walter Riley and several officials about the events unfolding in the practice room.

Xander knew his wife had killed the real target in real life, while Carter had only shot the fake target. Skill-wise, they couldn't be compared. And without waiting for the results, he already knew who the winner was, so there was no point in him watching the streaming.

"Brat! Why are you so ignorant? You didn't pay attention to the match?" Suddenly Walter Riley's voice echoes in the control room, and everyone turns to look at Xander.

The officers there were surprised to see how ignorant Xander was, different from before. He always stood by his wife throughout the first and second matches.

"Master Xander, do you want to sit here?" One of the officers got up from his chair and gave his chair to Xander, but he refused.

"No, thank you! You can sit back." Xander said, then glanced at his grandpa, "No need to watch. My wife will definitely win again. That stupid Carter, he's just wasting our time here." He said while shaking his head, feeling displeased.

"So, you know Scarlett was talented!?" Walter Riley asked. He still can't hide his surprise about Scarlett's ability.

"Yes. We usually practice together if we have time." Xander said calmly. "But, my wife was skilled long before meeting me." He knew Scarlett had inherited her shooting talent from her mother.

"I see," Walter said, turning his gaze again on the live stream. And he was shocked when he saw Scarlett had finished her task.

"What!? Ms. Riley already finished?" One of the officers shouted in shock.

"She finished in 10 minutes?"

"No, in 6 minutes 50 seconds." Said another officer.

Walter Riley was still shocked at how quickly Scarlett finished her match, and her score was also perfect. Now he understood why Xander wasn't watching the live broadcast because she was indeed good. He chuckled inwardly and turned his body to speak to Xander.

But he didn't see anyone on the sofa. He couldn't help but scold Xander, "T-That brat! How dare he go out to see his wife without telling me?"

Later...

Walter asks the officers to bring out the results when Carter is done, and then he heads out to meet Scarlett and Xander.

Not long after, Carter completed his task just a few seconds before the time ran out. Exiting the race room, he was surprised to find Scarlett had already finished and conversed with Xander and their grandfather.

"Wow! Sister, you're already done?" Carter quickly joined them. "Well, actually... I finished early. I purposely stayed inside..." he explained, pretending to scratch his head, even though it didn't itch.

Scarlett smiled at Carter. "Brother-in-law, are you ready to hear my request?"

"What request?" Carter was puzzled by Scarlett's question.

"My reward for winning this match!"

"Win? Bwahahaha..." Carter's laughter echoed through the room. "Don't jump to conclusions..." he paused when he saw everyone looking strangely at him. "Sister, the results have been announced?" he asked curiously.

"Yes," she replied, gesturing to the office to make the announcement.
