Chapter 3

“Consider yourself lucky, but even if I don’t kill you, you’ll have to leave something behind as a souvenir!” Henry Walker gave an evil grin and raised his right hand again. This time, the lightning on his right hand had diminished significantly!

Bang! Boom! Henry Walker’s right hand slammed into the stunned rookie captain, blasting him from inside the house to outside!

With a thud, the rookie captain was sent flying out the door like a cannonball.

The rookie captain looked at Henry Walker in disbelief. He couldn’t understand why Henry Walker would dare lay a hand on him! After all, Henry Walker was a member of the “Thirteenth Division” of the abilities group. The Thirteenth Division had a strict hierarchy, with superiors exerting almost absolute authority over subordinates. However, what he didn’t know was that Henry Walker was the only exception in the “Thirteenth Division”!

The veteran members outside saw that the rookie captain wasn’t dead and sneered contemptuously, then swaggered into the house.

“Henry, what’s up? Haven’t seen you in years and your temper’s improved? You actually let that guy live?” a chubby team member chuckled.

“Get out of the way, you punk.” Henry Walker waved his hand and said, “This is Grace’s home. I can’t kill anyone in her house.”

“Ha! Is she the sister-in-law?” As soon as the team members saw Grace, they immediately stood at attention in a line.

“Salute to sister-in-law!” the chubby one shouted in a mocking tone, and the whole team snapped a salute to Grace.

“Boring.” Grace said coldly, not paying them much attention, and walked into the house holding Lily. This time, however, she didn’t bother to explain her relationship with Henry Walker to the others.

Click! Grace’s words instantly made things awkward for the team.

“It’s fine, Grace is always like this.” Henry Walker smiled gently. Grace hadn’t told the others that he wasn’t her man—David Clark was already overjoyed! What did this mean? It meant he was one step closer to his goal! With a sweet look, Henry Walker watched Grace leave, then turned to the chubby one and the others and asked, “So, are you here for the final mission?”

“Yes, Henry.” The chubby one grinned. “Once this mission is done, Henry, you’ll be a free man.”

“Go on, what’s the mission?” Henry Walker had the veterans sit down and asked.

“The mission’s in the sealed bag that guy outside is holding.” The chubby one pointed to the guy outside who, though not dead, would be stuck in the hospital for months.

“Damn, that kid’s lucky. In the old days, Henry would’ve fried him.” another team member laughed.

“Alright, enough flattery. That kid’s pretty cocky—he must have some connections, right?” Henry Walker stepped outside, took the sealed bag from the rookie captain’s arms, who looked like a dead fish, and walked back in.

“Yeah, Henry. That kid’s the son of a big shot in the military commission. But if he died at your hands, who’d dare say a word?” The chubby one looked contemptuously at the guy on the ground, who looked half-dead.

“Henry, this mission is extremely dangerous.” The chubby one looked at Henry Walker and said softly.

“Anyone could tell.” Henry Walker gave a wry smile. “My existence already poses a complete threat to those guys at the top. Basically, I’m like a nuclear bomb. Of course they’re wary of me. Now, the three-year agreement for 50 missions is almost up, so the mission they give me is bound to be a near-suicide.”

“So, Henry, are you still going?” The chubby one was a bit indignant. “If you don’t want to go, who could stop you! Henry, you’re a level seven ability user!”

“Come on, your Henry still has to keep his word. A man’s promise must be kept, even at the cost of his life. Besides, I’m not that weak!” Henry Walker waved his hand. “Even if there’s a ninety-nine percent chance of dying, I’ll be the one percent who survives!”

“But,” Henry Walker changed the subject, “I’m not a god, after all. Just in case—just in case—if something happens to me, you guys have to take good care of this mother and daughter.”

“Don’t worry about a thing, Henry!” The chubby one patted his chest. “Not just us, all the brothers in the organization will look after sister-in-law! Whoever dares touch her, we’ll make them pay dearly! Even if it’s the captain!”

“Alright! With your word, I’m at ease!” Henry Walker said excitedly, patting the chubby one on the shoulder—mainly because he liked hearing him call her sister-in-law! These old teammates, even though they hadn’t seen each other in ages, their friendship was unbreakable by time!

“David Clark, what’s the mission?” The chubby one, uncomfortable with the heavy topic, changed the subject.

“SSS-level mission. Country M has supplied Country R with three of the latest M874 proton bombs, each worth about $500 billion! The higher-ups want me to intercept these three M874 proton bombs. If I can’t, then I have to destroy them.” Henry Walker gave a wry smile. For one person to intercept three heavily guarded proton bombs? That’s a joke! Looks like destroying them is the only option.

“Those bastards—how could they assign a mission like this?” All the team members were indignant.
