Chapter 210
Hearing what Beck said, Miranda already understood. Her performance at the shooting range had been noted by these people.
She had heard Hannah and the others mention that sometimes the military kept an eye on shooting ranges. But they obviously didn’t know the real situation, speaking with exaggerated tones.
The range had firearms, including handguns, rifles, and even sniper rifles. In gun–restricted Ardenza, having such weapons and running a club so openly could only mean some connection with the military, which wasn’t unusual.
Handguns and rifles were one thing. Ordinary folks might dabble with rifles at most. Gun enthusiasts and shooting fans might just have fun with a rifle at the range.
But the presence of a sniper rifle there was a bit much. Normally, people wouldn’t go near that kind of thing.
The level of expertise required was far beyond what a regular person could handle. Keeping a sniper rifle there was like fishing with bait.
The range itself wouldn’t catch anything, and having a sniper around didn’t benefit them. So, they might be fishing for someone else.
Unless one was a prodigy, training a talented sniper would take a lot of time and resources. Catching one directly would be like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Seeing Miranda stay silent, Beck continued, “Such steady hands, and hitting every target with a full–auto handgun, Ms. Lancaster, you’re quite the talent.”
His words were genuine praise, his face holding a light smile full of admiration.
Miranda smiled. “Just a hobby.”
She was naturally gifted at nearly anything she had an interest in, reaching the top with ease.
Beck looked at her. “So, is pharmaceuticals also a hobby, Ms. Lancaster?”
Though polite, his question carried an unspoken pressure, like a force slowly bearing down on Miranda. His gaze was both probing and scrutinizing.
Miranda chuckled lightly. “You could say that. Sure, I can treat illnesses and make a few remedies, but any med student could do that. I just enjoy reading medical books, so I taught myself some holistic medicine. I can admit to that, but as for this chemist you speak of, I haven’t heard of such a title.”
Miranda wasn’t sure what Beck’s true intentions were. But whatever they were, investigating her dealings in the black market and her identity would certainly be troublesome.
She could reveal her medical skills, but admitting to being the dark market’s chemist was a different matter
entirely.
From today’s events, it was clear there were many out there looking for the chemist, both on the right and wrong side of the law.
If someone used her identity against her. If he pulled some legal trickery, she could end up behind bars again.
Beck wasn’t surprised that Miranda denied being the chemist. He was smart enough not to press on about that identity.
Instead, he said, “Ms. Lancaster, with your extraordinary medical skills, isn’t it a waste to let them stay hidden in such an environment?”
Miranda responded with a silent smile..
Beck continued, “The medication you create are currently only available in limited quantities on the black market, gaining you money. But I wonder, Ms. Lancaster, do you have greater ambitions or dreams beyond
