Chapter 2

“I’m telling you, 95274! You’re still from Division Eighteen, so remember your own identity! I’m now giving you an order as the captain of Team Eight!” The young captain shouted arrogantly at Henry Walker, seemingly unaware that he had just done something foolish.

“I’d say, you must be a rookie.” Pushed to the limit of his anger, Henry Walker instead became calm! But everyone who knew Henry Walker understood that this calmness meant Henry Walker was about to kill!

“Hmph! You’re not qualified to question me! Now, I’m going to tell you! The new order—”

“Knew it, you’re a rookie.” Henry Walker interrupted the new captain: “If you were a veteran, you’d know how to speak in front of me!”

“Watch your attitude! 95274! You’re not allowed to interrupt me when a superior is speaking unless given permission!” The rookie captain had no idea what death was! Henry Walker’s calmness made him think Henry Walker was afraid of him. There are always people like this in the world—give them an inch and they’ll take a mile!

A glint flashed in Henry Walker’s eyes! In a flash, Henry Walker’s figure vanished from where he stood! When he reappeared, Henry Walker was already above the rookie captain’s head, and at the same time, Henry Walker’s thigh made intimate contact with the rookie captain’s face!

Henry Walker stomped down on the rookie captain’s face, slamming him hard to the ground! This was one reason Henry Walker was called the Lightning Wielder—Henry Walker’s speed was absolutely on par with lightning! And his temper was as explosive as thunder.

“No one has ever dared to speak to me like that. You’re the first.” Henry Walker stomped hard on his face, completely ruining the rookie captain’s once-proud nose. “Ever since I reached the seventh rank, no one has dared to talk to me like this! You’re the first!”

“You bastard! I’m telling you, if you dare treat me like this, I won’t let you off!” The rookie captain on the ground was still stubbornly shouting.

“Won’t let me off? Heh!” Henry Walker chuckled, moving his foot off the man’s face. “And what exactly can you do to me?”

“Hmph!” The rookie captain got up from the ground, clutching his nose. “I’ve already investigated you. You may be tough, but the mother and daughter behind you aren’t! I’m telling you, if you don’t behave…”

Before he could finish, he felt a bone-chilling cold sweep over him! Even though it was late autumn, it shouldn’t be this cold!

“Good! Very good! Excellent!!” Henry Walker said “good” three times in a row! This fool in front of him had touched his reverse scale! Of all the things he shouldn’t have done, threatening Henry Walker with Grace and her daughter was the worst: “Looks like your previous captain never taught you how to behave toward me!”

“Hmph!” The rookie captain sneered disdainfully, “That old guy was a coward, even told me to show you some respect! What trash!”

At this moment, the veteran members outside the door, upon hearing the rookie captain’s words, were already prepared to carry the corpse of this newly appointed, hot-headed “new broom” back.

“Idiot!” Henry Walker snorted softly, his right hand slowly clenching. Then, arcs of lightning visible to the naked eye began to dance around Henry Walker’s right hand! Ever since the rookie captain had threatened him with Grace and her daughter, Henry Walker had no intention of letting him leave alive!

The lightning danced around Henry Walker’s hand, but didn’t harm Henry Walker himself! This was another reason Henry Walker was called the Lightning Wielder! Henry Walker was an esper, and his power was electricity manipulation! As long as Henry Walker wished, and as long as he could withstand it, in theory, Henry Walker could control all the lightning in the world!

“In that case, you can bid this world farewell!” Under the rookie captain’s disbelieving gaze, Henry Walker raised his right hand high! Blinding electricity crackled across Henry Walker’s hand! In an instant, Henry Walker’s right hand smashed down hard on the rookie captain who had gone too far! The strong never allow others to act wildly in front of them, because the strong have their own dignity and dominance. Henry Walker was strong, and he would never let a brash kid act up in front of him and live…

Chapter Two: A Man’s Promise

“Lei Hua, wait. This is my home.” Henry Walker heard Grace’s gentle voice from behind him: “Don’t kill anyone in my house.”

Grace’s request might have sounded excessive to outsiders. Naturally, to them, Grace’s words seemed unreasonable! An outsider had bullied them to their doorstep, yet Grace didn’t seem to care about Henry Walker at all, and even stopped him from acting.

But Henry Walker knew this was Grace’s way of showing she cared. And what Henry Walker liked most was exactly this cold demeanor of Grace. Sometimes, Henry Walker even wondered if he had a bit of an SM tendency. Heh.

Hearing Grace’s voice, Henry Walker stopped his right hand. He liked Grace, and he didn’t hide it. Even though Grace was a few years older than him, and she was already married and had a child. But now, Grace was a widow, so of course Henry Walker had the right to pursue her!
