Chapter 1270
With Henry''s capabilities, a lock could not stump him. The moment he opened the door, he saw that
the interior of the house was filled with European-style decor. An oil painting was hung on the wall
of its living room. A thinyer of ash covered it, proving that the house had been empty for quite a
long time.
Henry also noticed that it had no one to take care of the weeds that grew from the corners of its
walls, and that was why he chose this house. Although Henry knew that empty houses of this sort
were most likely to be a target of the Recluse Association''s search, but under the condition he
was in, he had no choice.
Henry did not dare to turn on the lights of the house. He tiptoed to find the bathroom. He tried
turning the taps and discovered that its supply of water had not been stopped, which was a relief to
what had been his biggest problem. He found a towel, wet it with water, and began to clean off the
mud on his body.
He dared not to use too much water. The Recluse Association had existed for more 2,000 years. It
was unimaginable how powerful they were. He feared that people would discover that the water
metre of the house was running. He could only fill a small basin with water to clean himself up.
The already inmed and festering wound brought immense pain to Henry. He let out muffled
groans as he cleaned his wounds. After he had cleaned off all the mud from his body, he was
already drenched in sweat. The towel was alsopletely red with blood, but at the very least, he
no longer looked as hideous and disgusting as before.
Henry searched around the house quietly. As expected, he found a simple medical kit. Having lived
in Europe for a while, Henry knew that many families had the habit of keeping medical kits in their
homes, especially for those from wealthier families, it was almost a necessity.
Having found anti-inmmatory drugs and some gauze, Henry was no longer worried about the risk
of infection of his wounds. After bandaging himself up, Henry fell onto a bed in the bedroom and fell
asleep.
Henry slept very well that night.
Henry felt a dazzling gleam enter his eyes while he was still asleep. He suddenly leapt up from the
bed and realised that the sun had already risen and it was its shine that had woken him from his
slumber. His first reaction was to look around the room, upon confirming that he was all alone in the
house. He breathed a sigh of relief and scolded himself for being too careless to allow himself to
sleep so soundly without any preventive measures, even an amateur killer could kill him if one
found him there.
He walked over to the window and looked out of it. The town did not give him any strange vibes. He
was relieved.
He felt a little better after a good night''s sleep, but his wounds were unable to recover within such a
short period of time. Not mentioning the Qi from Nevyle''s attack that still raged within him, just from
his all-out final attack to break through the steel wall alone, the after-effects of that could not be
recovered in just a day or two.
Henry found some canned food in the house and gobbled them up. His current appetite was
absolutelyparable to that of Ranjit. After filling his stomach, Henry began analysing the current
situation.
ording to the information he had obtained, the situation he was in did not look very optimistic. At
the edge of the Recluse World of the Recluse Association, members of the Alvin League were
gathered. The two parties had joined forces, one groomed demonic beasts, and the other groomed
experts.
No! To put it differently,
The Recluse Association providedrge numbers of human experts to the Alvin League, allowing
the experimental subjects of the Alvin League to provide feedback from the battles with those
human experts.
In truth, the Alvin League was helping the Recluse Association eliminate the weaker members
within it in the name of experimentation!
Also, the so-called siege of the demonic beasts on Eastern City was very likely a process of
eliminating the weak. Or rather, it was a huge feast prepared by the Alvin League for the
experimental subjects!
The Recluse Association and the Alvin League had always been working together all along!
Henry understood how unfavourable the situation at hand was for him. Whether it was the Recluse
Association or the Alvin League, both parties wanted him dead. With the current strength of Radiant
Ind, he was not capable of protecting himself. On the contrary, he would end up dragging Radiant
Ind into his mess. As for Section Nine, their strength was not enough to resist titans like the
Recluse Association and the Alvin League. He was the only one who could fight against them!
However, his current capabilities, he was still no match for both the Alvin League and the Recluse
Association. He urgently needed to level up, but that required time. He could not think of anywhere
else that could ensure his safety, except the City of Hell. Even if he stayed at the edge of the City of
Hell, Ss could temporarily keep him safe with his strength.
What Henry needed to do was to return to Radiant Ind as soon as possible, but he knew very
well that the people of the Recluse Association had probably alreadyid plenty of ambushes
around Sosasmo Desert, and a battle to the death would be inevitable the moment he appeared,
but that was the only choice he had now. Of course, the first thing he had to do was to figure out
where he currently was in order to find a way out.

His temporary goal for now was to heal his wounds. He searched around the house and found
some change, which allowed him to buy some essentials at the pharmacy.
Just as Henry was about to step out of the house, he suddenly heard quickly approaching footsteps
outside the door.
Henry was taken by surprise. He rushed to the bedroom on the second floor as quickly as his feet
could take him and hid in the closet. There were a lot of clothes in the closet, but at least it served
as a good hiding spot for Henry.
Bang!
door of the house burst open from the outside
? ?
are here. Hang on there!"
iry, who hid in the closet of the second floor, rd the voice of a Yan Xia woman from /nstairs. The
voice of the woman was filled i anxiety and worry.
t, Henry could hear that the woman seemed to iragging something heavy.
ried footsteps sounded once again. Running ight to the second floor and into the bedroom ?re
Henry was hiding.
Dugh the slit of the closet, Henry saw that it ; ady in her early twenties. She had short , bronzed
skin, and was dressed in ck. On outside of her thighs an old-fashioned " Desert le" was strapped.
;r thedy rushed into the bedroom, she rched around and found the medical kit. Then grabbed it
and rushed downstairs.
>n seeing this, Henry was slightly relieved. It med that it was not a member from the luse
Association who came in search of him. vever, he still kept his guard up, and remained ien in the
closet.
iry soon saw thedy appear once more. She led into the bedroom with a suitcase in hand.
When she opened it, a disassembled heavy sniper rifley quietly within it.
