I revived the Demonic Sect in North America

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Ang agreed with his approach.

He then pointed to the remaining holster, gun oil, cleaning cloth, goggles, and earmuffs, and explained their functions.

The holster is made of nylon and can be clipped inside the belt, hidden inside clothing and not visible.

Gun oil and cleaning cloths are used for maintenance.

The goggles and earmuffs are for practicing shooting.

"These odds and ends add up to $50. Add that to the equipment, and it's $1340 in total. I've taken all $1000 from your card, so I still owe you $160 back."

Kevin said, opening the cash register again.

He took out Li Ang's China Merchants Bank debit card, then counted out eight twenty-dollar bills and pushed them in front of Li Ang.

Li Ang took back his bank card, and without even looking at the rest of the cash, he pushed it all back into Kevin's cash register drawer.

"Hey kid!"

Kevin quickly pressed down on the drawer and asked in confusion:

"What are you doing?"

Li Ang shrugged and said:

"This is what you deserve. There's no reason for you to run errands for me, negotiate prices, take risks, or do favors for nothing. You should take this money. Stop talking nonsense and take it."

Kevin frowned and said:

"Fuck you, Li Ang, we're brothers, we don't need this."

Li Ang smiled slightly:

"If you keep making excuses, you don't really consider me a brother."

Kevin was speechless.

Looking into Li Ang's earnest eyes, he could only shake his head, close the drawer, and say:

"Alright, you little brat... I'm really impressed. After we finish shooting practice, let's stay and have a couple more drinks with this chick."

Upon witnessing this scene, Liu Yue's inner fangirl from Dongda University was ablaze with passion.

Her eyes gleamed, and she couldn't help but whistle at the two of them:

"Wow, what a touching display of brotherly love."

Kevin ignored her teasing.

He deftly swept all the equipment on the table back into the huge black sports bag, and said sternly to the two of them:

"Since I've taken your money, I'd feel bad if I didn't do something worthwhile. In that case, I'll take you guys to practice your shooting."

Li Ang was exactly what he wanted.

He nodded immediately, his eyes gleaming with eagerness:

"I've been waiting for you to say that. Thank you so much, brother."

"Great! Finally, I can shoot!"

Liu Yue, who had been eager to try, excitedly chimed in upon hearing this:

"But where are we going to shoot? I asked a few shooting ranges, but they won't even let anyone under 21 in. Kevin, do you have any connections to get us in?"

"Haha, connections? Of course! Follow me."

Kevin picked up the huge gym bag with one hand and led the two into the narrow storage room next to the bar.

Move a few empty cardboard boxes aside to reveal the iron shelf against the wall behind.

Kevin grabbed the edge of the shelf and pulled hard.

The pulleys at the bottom of the shelf made a soft "creak" sound as they were moved half a meter away.

A slightly darker square cover with a round iron ring was revealed on the floor.

"This is my way."

Kevin tapped the cover with his toe, then squatted down, grabbed the iron ring, and pulled it upwards with force.

The heavy wooden planks were lifted, revealing a dark, square entrance, through which the concrete floor could be vaguely seen.

Kevin first threw his backpack into the hole, and a muffled "thump" was heard.

He then braced himself against the edge of the hole with both hands, and with a light leap, landed steadily in the cellar.

Li Ang followed Kevin's example without hesitation.

He braced himself with his arms on the ground and jumped down.

Bending your knees to cushion the impact upon landing allows you to land steadily.

Below is a basement that is over two meters high and about twenty square meters in size.

The walls and ceilings had clearly been treated with rough soundproofing.

Before going down into the cellar, Kevin had already turned on the dim incandescent light in the basement.

The light illuminated several old tires and a thick wooden backboard piled at the far end of the cellar.

Several old, tattered, and faded target papers were nailed to it.

"Li Ang! How's it going down there?"

Liu Yue's hesitant voice came from the cave entrance.

Li Ang hurriedly looked up and shouted:

"No problem, it's not high here. Jump down, I'll catch you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue peeked down a few times, and the more she looked, the more uneasy she became. She couldn't help but shrink back and say:

"It still looks a bit tall."

Li Ang chuckled upon hearing this and couldn't help but tease him:

"Who was it just now yelling about wanting to touch a real gun for a thrill? They usually seem so daring, why are they chickening out now?"

"Who's a coward!"

Provoked by him, Liu Yue's pretty face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment.

With a determined heart, he immediately stood at the edge of the cave entrance, ready to jump down.

She gritted her teeth and mimicked their movements, bracing herself with both hands on the edge of the cover.

Unfortunately, his arm strength was insufficient, and his support gave way instantly, causing him to fall straight into the hole.

Liu Yue was shocked and let out a short scream.

"oops--!"

The expected pain did not come.

Liu Yue fell solidly into a warm embrace.

The immense impact forced the person holding her to take half a step back before regaining their balance.

It was Li Ang.

Li Ang was prepared and caught Liu Yue steadily with both arms.

One hand was around her waist, while the other hand supported her thigh.

Liu Yue's heart pounded, still in shock, and she instinctively clung tightly to Li Ang's neck.

The two embraced tightly, and Li Ang could clearly feel Liu Yue's body trembling.

This was completely different from her usual fearless demeanor.

Looking down at Liu Yue's unusually pitiful appearance, Li Ang found her rather cute and even a little bit tempted.

He lifted Liu Yue's thigh slightly, making his hold on her more secure.

Liu Yue felt the force and location of Li Ang's hand, and her body stiffened instantly.

Her body, still reeling from the shock of the freefall, was now frantically releasing adrenaline and dopamine.

Under the influence of hormones, Liu Yue felt that Li Ang, whom she had already found pleasing to the eye, was now even more unbelievably handsome.

Sensing Liu Yue's increasingly intense gaze, Li Ang was no pushover either.

His fingers, which were supporting Liu Yue's thigh, gently rubbed against her through the thin fabric of her yoga pants.

Liu Yue's mind went blank for a moment, and all thoughts of Kevin and shooting vanished into thin air.

She wildly grabbed Li Ang's collar and yanked it down sharply.

He pulled Li Ang's head closer to his own.

He then immediately tilted his head back and crashed into it without a second thought.

Liu Yue's lips collided squarely with Li Ang's.

Li Ang groaned as she bumped into him, but he reacted in the next second.

His hand, which was supporting Liu Yue's thigh, tightened instantly.

He lifted Liu Yue up a little, making her hang more securely on him.

Then he lowered his head and kissed her back fiercely.

The kiss was haphazard, a long, serpentine thrusting and ramming inside.

Liu Yue was so breathless from the kiss that her toes curled up inside her shoes.

But the hand around Li Ang's neck tightened even more.

The two kissed passionately in the dusty air.

Like two vines growing wildly in the shadows, intertwined and tightly bound.
