Judging from what Jade said to Nathan now, she no longer regarded him as a nobody. She started to look at him seriously.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t talk so much with Nathan and want to compete with him in archery.
“General Perkins, what are you talking about? This archery field belongs to the Runmile Club, and Nathan is the owner of the club. Why should we follow your rules?” Hannah said, feeling a little annoyed.
Jade ignored her. She just looked at Nathan indifferently.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Hannah was furious, but she also knew very well that she and Jade were not at the same
level at all.
Jade was born in the Perkins family in Emperia City, and she has been a woman of distinction since she was a child. In addition, she was extremely intelligent and adept with both the pen and the sword. After joining the army, she made great strides all the
way.
As a woman, she made countless outstanding achievements and became the youngest Lieutenant General in Hechland. It could be imagined how talented she was.
Nathan waved his hand at Hannah, signaling her to stop speaking.
Then, he looked at Jade and said with a smile, “Okay. Since you want to have a competition with me. Let’s do it!”
“If you lose, then the rules of the archery field will have to be re–established.”
“If you win, the rules remain the same. You are in charge of this archery field!”
Jade’s mouth curled up into a cruel arc. Nathan was too arrogant recently. She came to the archery field today to suppress him.
Seeing that Nathan agreed to compete with her in archery, Jade nodded and said, “In our archery competition today, we will use an ancient bow, not a composite bow.”
As soon as Jade’s words came out, the crowd was immediately noisy.
“In modern society, no one would practice an ancient bow if they don’t need to use one. It seems that Evans has no chance of winning!”
“If they use a composite bow, he might have a chance. But they will use an ancient bow. It means there is no hope for him at all.”
“It would be difficult for him to draw the bow with 330 pounds of draw weight in General Perkins‘ hand.”
Everyone was talking about it. They didn’t expect Jade to come up with such an idea.
Hannah immediately became anxious and said, “Why? You didn’t say it before he agreed.”
Gussie also felt anxious. She had seen Nathan’s ability to use a composite bow. It was unknown if he could display half of his strength when using an ancient bow!
“If you think it’s unfair, we can cancel it. Or you can even choose to practice using an ancient bow. When you think you are good at it, you can find me again,” Jade said, looking at Nathan expressionlessly.
Ancient people did not have as many weapons as modern people, so the soldiers in ancient times often used bows to practice their arm strength. The draw weight of the bow could decide their status in the army!
Jade had liked ancient bows since she was a child, so she had more than ten years of using an ancient bow.
The production method of ancient bows was naturally not as sophisticated as that of composite bows. If one wanted to use an ancient bow to get a high score, he needed to achieve many more factors than using a composite bow, and it was also much

more difficult.
He needed to consider arm strength, the control of his body, the adjustment of breathing, aiming, etc…
Nathan waved his hands casually and said, “It’s indeed a bit unfair.”
As soon as he said this, everyone at the scene burst into laughter.
“Even the most powerful man only drew a bow with 330 pounds of draw weight. Does he mean he is twice as strong as that powerful man?
“He has talked big. I’m afraid that he even can’t pull the string of the bow with 660 pounds of draw weight, let alone shoot the
arrow!”
Everyone was discussing and felt that Nathan’s words were too exaggerated. Even a few fierce generals in ancient times were able to draw a bow with 660 pounds of draw weight.
Jade showed disdain for Nathan’s tricks. She said indifferently, “I don’t care what kind of bow you can draw. As long as you can

beat me, from now on, you have the final say here!”

Nathan pouted at the staff person and said, “Bring me the bow, with 660 pounds of draw weight, hanging on the wall!”
Hanging on the wall was an ancient iron bow, which was almost five feet high when standing upright. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to draw it.
Jade had tried the bow. She could draw it, but it was impossible for her to shoot the arrow with accuracy.
The staff person climbed a ladder and got down the most exaggerated black iron bow on the wall. He held it in his hands with difficulty and handed it to Nathan.
“Is he really going to compete with General Perkins in archery with this bow?”
“I think he is trying to find an excuse. If he loses, it will be reasonable.”
“Hmph, he is just a villain who wants to play to the gallery. How dare he to compete with General Perkins?”
Everyone was disdainful and looked down on Nathan, thinking that he was unable to draw the bowstring, let alone beat Jade.
