Chapter 72: Guess You Have No Bullets (Fifth Update)

Of course, weapon demonstrations and explanations are just the surface.

Ultimately, it all comes down to live-fire testing.

Just as Luca was introducing the "Enforcer" pistol, staff members at the edge of the testing ground directly led out two pigs and a sheep.

Seeing this, Luca smiled, sped up his explanation, and concluded, "Come on, let's take a look at the actual shooting performance of this weapon."

With that, Luca gestured to Wrench, who had been waiting for quite a while, to demonstrate the live-fire test.

However, right at that moment, a cool female voice came from the crowd.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Orange just said that this Enforcer pistol is equipped with the company's most advanced auxiliary targeting system, and it even achieves near-zero recoil."

"Then, why don't I, a fragile woman who hasn't really used firearms much, test it for you, sir?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze focused on Justin Hammer, who had spoken up.

Yet she seemed completely unaware of the attention directed at her, only smiling sweetly as she looked at Luca before her.

"This might better showcase the weapon's exceptional performance, don't you think, sir?"

This sudden interlude slightly startled not only the others present, but even Luca himself.

Of course, he recovered almost instantly and also flashed a cryptic smile at Justin.

"Of course there's no problem if Miss Hammer wants to test it herself. I suppose this is also the Enforcer's honor~"

With that, Luca waved his hand to signal Wrench to step back, standing right where he was with a smile, watching Justin walk slowly toward him.

To say that Justin Hammer, the current helm of Hammer Industries who grew up in a military-industrial conglomerate since childhood, was a "fragile woman who hasn't really used firearms much"—Luca certainly wouldn't believe a single word of it.

However, since the other party was interested in playing along, regardless of her true motives, Luca was more than happy to oblige.

As it happened, he also wanted to probe what this declining giant's eldest daughter was actually planning by coming here today.

He handed the testing "Enforcer" in his hand to Justin.

Before Luca could even speak first, she directly picked up the auxiliary tactical glasses nearby and, abandoning her previous demeanor, flashed a charming smile at Luca.

"I was listening very carefully just now, you know~"

Saying this, she directly put the tactical glasses over her right eye and gently tapped the startup button on top.

The screen of the monocular tactical glasses immediately lit up accordingly.

However, the text displayed on the screen was "Usage Authorization Not Granted."

Seeing this, the corners of Justin Hammer's mouth curled up slightly.

"A nice design~ Authorization required, huh, handsome~?"

At this moment, Justin's voice carried a hint of playful flirtation, making her seem like a completely different person compared to her previous proud and aloof self.

Seeing this drastic contrast in her behavior, Luca merely gave a slight shrug and turned around with a nonchalant expression to pat the orange Haro connected to the equipment beside him.

"Haro, grant our Miss Hammer testing authorization."

"Grant authorization! Grant authorization!"

The next moment, the unauthorized text on Justin's display quickly vanished, and various startup data scrolled past in succession.

However, her attention at the moment was not on the flashing characters, but instead focused with keen interest on the striking orange Haro sitting on the table.

Although she felt a bit more curious about this toy-like Haro, her usual headstrong and eccentric self did not change her mind because of it; instead, she followed through with her original intention.

She directly raised the "Enforcer pistol" in her hand!

"Young Master, watch out!"

Nearby, Wrench—who had initially felt a bit intrigued when the stunning beauty Justin took the initiative to approach and chat with Luca—saw the other party suddenly raise her gun to aim at Luca. His expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward to subdue her.

Similarly, the guests, whether they were watching the show or merely curious about the upcoming test, all had drastic shifts in expression.

Only Luca, the person directly involved, turned his head back to find the muzzle pointed right at him, yet his expression remained completely unchanged.

Instead, he calmly stopped Wrench, who was about to charge forward, and gazed steadily into Justin Hammer's eyes with a tranquil look.

"It seems Miss Hammer didn't listen quite as carefully as you claimed?"

"I recall explaining just now that the most significant feature of the Enforcer pistol is that all units are connected to a terminal server to ensure this weapon is never used in dangerous incidents that threaten public safety."

"So, does Miss Hammer seriously believe that during this weapon exhibition, I would enable the authorization to attack people on a test firearm?"

Sure enough, although the usage authorization for the "Enforcer pistol" in Justin's hand had still not been revoked, the monocular tactical glasses displayed the following message the moment the muzzle was aimed at Luca:

"Non-execution target, trigger locked!"

Yet, Justin Hammer did not seem surprised by this at all. From start to finish, she had never made any motion to pull the trigger. Her smile remained intact as she spoke in a flippant tone.

"Of course I trust that you've thought everything through, Luca~"

"However, since this is a test, naturally all aspects of this piece of art should be fully displayed~"

As she spoke, she neatly and decisively lowered the "Enforcer," even twirling it in her hand with a flourish.

It was as if she had completely forgotten who it was that had just claimed to be a fragile woman with little exposure to firearms.

However...

No sooner had she lowered the "Enforcer" than a dark green pistol, very similar in appearance to the "Enforcer," suddenly appeared in Luca's hand.

Before anyone else could react, this dark green pistol rapidly unfolded, and its bold frame now emanated an eerie cyan-green glow.

Holding high the Dominator, which had now entered "Lethal Eliminator" mode, Luca tilted his head, his gaze shifting past the ion glow of the muzzle to look at Justin Hammer, who had just put away her weapon. He flashed a playful smile identical to the one she had used earlier, asking in a casual tone.

"So... would Miss Hammer care to guess~ whether the gun in my hand has its attack authorization restricted?"

Wrench, who had just moments before wanted to rush forward and subdue Justin Hammer, now stared at the pulsating green light on the Dominator, a cold sweat breaking out on his temple.

*Young Master, you've already activated it! How is anyone supposed to guess that?!*

On the other hand, Justin, who was currently on the receiving end of the gun barrel, wore a surprisingly calm expression, acting as though she hadn't even noticed the deployed configuration and green light. She smiled and replied.

"I'm guessing... it doesn't~"

Seeing this, Luca chuckled and shrugged, and the Dominator in his hand promptly returned to standby mode.

He similarly twirled it with a flourish and holstered it back at his waist.

"You really are good at guessing games, Justin~"

For some reason, the two exchanged a mutual smile before Luca continued.

"Now, shall we resume our weapon demonstration?"
