The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 740

To keep the animals safe, the staff dressed them in lightweight, padded vests- just enough protection to avoid accidental injuries or fatal shots. Each animal also wore a small sticker somewhere on its body, marking the "prize zone."

Only a shot landing precisely on that marked area would win a prize.

Of course, the animals were constantly in motion, especially since they were stationed at the very back of the range. Hitting a moving target like that? Not easy by any stretch.

The hardest of all was a cat perched farthest away. Its prize zone was stuck to the tip of its tail-hitting that would be next to impossible.

But the reward matched the challenge: a pair of earrings designed by the renowned artist, Madame Rose, valued at around three hundred thousand dollars. To date, no one had managed to claim this prize.

Keen knew just how difficult it was to hit any of the live animals and didn't want to put Joshua on the spot. He said quietly, "Mr. Joshua, I'd love anything you win for me."

Joshua glanced toward the distant prize, considered the challenge for a moment, then drew back his bow.

With a sharp "thwip!" the arrow shot out like lightning.

The animal sensed danger and tried to dodge, but it was a split-second too late. The arrow landed dead center on the prize zone.

A wave of astonished gasps rippled through the crowd. Cheers and applause erupted for Joshua, and more than a few children stared up at Keen with wide- eyed envy.
