My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 87

Faye seemed very powerful, but in truth, she was just putting on an act using the Edwards’ family name. To be honest, their family wasn’t even qualified enough to participate in the grand Edwards Family meeting at all.

Nonetheless, her family name was rather useful to dupe unsuspecting outsiders who were oblivious about the exact situation in their family. At the very least, she could use her family name to boss people around and do whatever she pleased in the camp.

She had really rounded up several students in an attempt to mess with Company 49. For example, she was going to order those students to climb over their windows and mess up their dormitory so that they wouldn’t get any points for cleanliness; she was even thinking about getting several people to beat up students from Company 49. However, before she could do so, Nathan had ‘sacrificed’ himself and saved them.

Those people who had been gathered by Faye to get back at Sophia came to protest with her.

“Miss Faye, the General favors Nate more than anyone else in the camp now; if we lay a finger on him, I’m afraid the General will take…”

“It seems like Nate is not an ordinary kid, so how about we just forget about it?”

“Yeah, that’s right. If the General finds out about this, we’ll suffer serious consequences from it! Why don’t we teach her a lesson right after the military training is over?”

Faye blew her top at once. She didn’t expect that an ordinary peasant would dare to climb on top and sh*t on her. “All of you are worthless losers! A bunch of useless losers!”

Faye scolded and chased everyone away, almost exploding with anger. However, there was nothing she could do about it.

She didn’t expect the little boy to be so capable; he had managed to get Joel to hold his hand and walk him around. Not only that, Joel seemed to like him very much!

Since she couldn’t get back at Sophia in the camp, she would wait until the military training was over. Then, she would definitely teach Sophia a lesson!

Since Nathan had ‘sacrificed’ himself, everyone in Company 49 became motivated once more; all of them were eager to get a high score in their military training.

Michael watched as everything happened through the CCTV. He sighed, “My wife is very capable indeed!”

Usually, he had to threaten Nathan so that his son would do something for him; Sophia actually had the ability to persuade Nathan and made him fawn over Joel willingly. She was very capable indeed!

Just then, Harry walked over to Michael cheekily with a laptop in his hands. “Hey Dad, check this out. There’s a petition going around in the gaming world, asking everyone to unite and kill Sirius!”

Michael took a glance at the gaming page on Harry’s laptop.

Recently, Sirius233 had been killing almost everyone he came into contact with in the gaming world. Not only did he kill quite a number of people, he had also massacred about seven to eight guilds which aroused discontentment and anger among people in the gaming world.

As a result, several people organized a grand meeting and called upon brave leaders to unite and kill Sirius233—they had even placed a bounty on Sirius’ head.

All of them pooled some money together and bought a powerful ultimate weapon as a reward for the person that killed Sirius. The campaign was quite grand and very much supported!

Harry pointed at the screen and commented, “Look, that Fletcher kid is here too. It seems like he’s very enthusiastic about the campaign!”

Michael lay back down on the bed. As he read his script, he said plainly, “Make an announcement for me in the gaming world. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on Sirius will have to deal with me.”

Harry was very surprised. “Why? Is Sirius someone incredible that I don’t know about?”

Michael flipped the script over and replied, “That’s Sophia.”

Harry was speechless. Great. Apart from Michael, no one will be able to kill Sirius—that demonic villain —in the video game.

Everyone hoped that the day of the shooting training would arrive faster. Soon enough, that day had come. All of them exclaimed in excitement during the middle of training, and they were all very excited early in the morning.

At eight o’clock in the morning, everyone organized themselves into groups and departed after they finished their morning exercise routine. They had been grouped according to their respective companies and departed for the shooting center at Audistin in cars.

On the way to their destination, there was nothing but rural areas throughout the journey. After traveling for more than an hour in those cars, they finally arrived at the shooting center in Audistin. Then, the students marched into Audistin in an orderly manner.

Although it was a shooting training, they regarded the trip as a holiday. Audistin was closed to the public and opened exclusively for the students today. Still, it was impossible for several thousand people to fit in the shooting center at one go. Hence, the students had to queue up and take turns if they wanted to shoot some targets.

Therefore, everyone decided to split up. The First and Second Regiments took turns to shoot in the morning, whereas the Third and Fourth Regiments would shoot in the afternoon. As they waited for their turns, they could stroll around in Audistin and visit the filming set of ‘Doctor Invincible’.

At noon, they would have lunch at the restaurant in Audistin. In the evening, there would be a meet-and- greet with the movie cast.

It was Sophia’s turn to shoot in the morning. However, she wasn’t very keen on shooting immobile targets; she preferred to go to the hunting ground next door to hunt for living targets.

In her opinion, shooting living targets would be much more practical and effective to test a person’s shooting skills. Besides, she wasn’t very interested in the meet-and-greet with the superstars either; she would rather find a place to play her video game.

After waiting in line for a long time, it still wasn’t her turn to shoot yet. Hence, Sophia gave up immediately.

“Darling, let’s find a place with computers and play video games!” As she said that, she dragged Nathan along to a cybercafé in Audistin.

Nathan’s expression changed abruptly upon hearing that she wanted to play video games. He grabbed her immediately and said. “I want to shoot targets!”

“Okay, okay, okay. Let’s go and shoot some targets.”

Nathan dragged Sophia to the shooting center. After queueing up for their turns the entire morning, they only had time to shoot for about twenty minutes.

At noon, Sophia and Nathan had lunch at Audistin’s restaurant. After that, Sophia walked toward the cybercafé again. Nathan grabbed onto the bottom of her trousers immediately and said, “I want to visit the filming set!”

Sophia had no choice but to accompany him to the filming set of ‘Doctor Invincible’. Automatically, Gemma tagged along with them too.

While they were on their way to the filming set, they bumped into two familiar figures—Sarah and Sean.

Sarah complained to Sophia the moment she saw her. “It’s a trap! They’ve tricked us!”

Sophia was confused. “What happened?”

Sarah asked, “Do you know why they wanted us to come here today?”

Feeling puzzled, Sophia asked, “Why?”

Sarah was very furious. “That production crew is a cheating bunch! They lied to us because they wanted us to be extras in their film. I went there this morning, but I didn’t see Taylor or Ethan around either! They simply asked us to lie down and pretend that we were dead in our military uniforms! Screw them!”

Sophia expressed her surprise. “They can do that?”

However, it didn’t seem to decrease everyone’s enthusiasm and desire to see Taylor and Ethan. Those who went there and became extras in the morning went over again in the afternoon; they heard that Taylor and Ethan would be at the filming set in the afternoon.

Sophia decided not to go the moment she heard that the filming crew was luring them in as extras. She grabbed Nathan immediately and said, “Let’s go, it’s a trap. We’ll just go and play some video games!”

Nathan simply pouted his lips without saying anything, so Sophia gave in to his wish. “Okay, okay, we’ll go and visit the filming set.”

In the end, she still took Nathan to the filming set. Although Sarah kept saying that she didn’t want to go anymore, she still tagged along with them. On the contrary, Sean was very excited instead.

“Oh, I’m going to meet my handsome idol soon!” Sean was on cloud nine. He danced excitedly as his waist swayed from left to right.

Sarah teased him playfully. “You can stop dreaming now, Sean. Taylor and Ethan are a couple, and they’ve already gotten married!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Sean pouted his lips, looking like he was incredibly upset. “I don’t care! I just want to see my handsome idol! It doesn’t matter if I have to be an extra!”

The group of five people soon arrived at the filming set. Since the set had been cordoned off, they could only watch from the outside. It seemed like they were filming some exciting scenes inside which required lots of extras; they would take a group of students into the set from time to time. The students were very excited as they fought against each other to be the extras.

Standing outside of the cordoned area, Sophia began losing her enthusiasm after being squeezed around in the crowd. She pulled Nathan aside and said, “Okay, we’ve seen the set. Let’s go back and play video games!”

Nathan pouted his lips and was extremely unhappy with Sophia’s suggestion. Right at that moment, several staff from the filming set came out to pick more extras. Nathan then pushed his way through the crowd swiftly, so Sophia pushed her way through the crowd immediately and followed him closely too.

Unfortunately, by the time they made their way through the crowd, the staff had already finished picking their extras, leaving a bunch of disappointed yearning students outside. The students were hoping that they needed more people immediately and would ask them to go in next.

Sophia grabbed Nathan once again. “Okay, okay, it’s time to go now. They’ve finished picking the people they need. We don’t stand a chance anymore.”

However, Nathan refused to leave. He stood there, seemingly very eager to get into the filming set. Sophia had no choice but to wait with him.
