Chapter 1273
Henry roughly understood the goal of the mission after scrolling through the short-haired woman''s
mobile phone.
The name of the bishop of the town''s church was Geich. In fact, he came from a background of
warlords. Henry had seen too many of these things. He was not interested in anything between
Nine Fatale and Geich. After all, back when Henry was still in that business, he had killed too
many people like them.
There were some records about Geich''s interests, but it was not of much help to Henry.
Henry learned about what had happened on the outside from the short- haireddy. Wanted posters
of him were still hung all over the small town. He would definitely be recognised the moment he
showed his face in the town. He was sure that there would definitely be someone from the Recluse
Association in that town. In his current condition, a person at the stage of Qi-control could kill him.
"Let''s observe the situation for now." Henry threw the handphone back to the short-haireddy.
The blonde-haireddy was badly injured, and the short-haireddy''s shoulder had also sustained
some injuries. They were clearly not fit enough to be immediately sent to carry out their mission,
plus the target had already been alerted. Killing them had now be even harder. Even though
the target would not leave the town for the time being, the security of his location would definitely be
tightened. As a warlord, Geich''s was extremely experienced in anti- reconnaissance. Finding an
opportunity to snipe at him from afar was extremely difficul.
After a moment of rest, the short- haireddy tidied up the blood-stained gauze in the room. When
they had burned up the medical waste, the short- haireddy said to Henry, "It''s dangerous here.
ording to the information I obtained, the people from this town will conduct a massive search to
capture you in the following two days. I suggest you hide underground."
The short-haireddy led Henry to the kitchen and gently knocked on the wall a few times. Then, a
soft click sounded from the stove. The short-haireddy opened the cupboard under the stove and
a tunnel appeared before Henry.
"Let''s go. The supplies stocked up in there are enough for us to survive for quite a while."
The short-haireddy took the lead in getting into the cupboard and went down the tunnel.
"It looks like this is your safe house, but the Nine Fatale always had a rule to have a safe house in
every town to ensure that its members could save themselves to the greatest extent." Henry walked
into the tunnel, the entrance was very dark and narrow, after descending dozens of steps, a hall
appeared before Henry.
The entire hall had an area of more of than 60 square meters, with several single beds made of
wood against the wall. Some drinking water and canned food were piled up in the corner like a hill.
These supplies were enough for a single person to survive in there for a few months.
The facilities of the safe house were not as advanced as shown in the movies, that even showed to
have all kinds of guns and ammunition. This safe house was mainly used as a hiding ce, too
much metal would increase the chances of being exposed. The canned food in there all came in the
form of ss bottles.
After the three of them arrived there, they chose their respective beds and began resting.
As hey on the bed, Henry had been thinking about the incident between the Recluse Association
and the Alvin League. The current situation had gradually be clearer, but this situation brought
only chaos to the entire World of Qi-practitioners, and Radiant Ind was trapped in this vortex of
chaos.
"Our Captain hase with reinforcements to back us up." The short-haireddy jumped up from
her bed. "I''ll go wee them and check on the situation outside."
After saying that, she left the underground bunker.
Time went by slowly, and a burst of fatigue hit Henry. He was still very weak, and needed to rest for
long hours every day.
Just as Henry began spacing out, he heard soft moans of pain. The tone of the moans sounded
very low, and could be easily associated with a different activity. Those moans came from another
bed.
Henry got out of his bed and walked to the direction of the sound. He saw that the blond beauty was
tossing and turning on the bed. Her body was flushed, and her forehead was beaded with sweat.
"What''s the matter?" Henry frowned. "What''s wrong with you?"
"I don''t know." The blonde spoke with difficulty. Her red lips were dry and cracked. "I just feel my
chest boiling. It''s so hot."
Henry grabbed her hand, and ced two fingers on her pulse. After a few seconds, Henry''s eyes
were grim. "You have been poisoned. Is there any information you can provide me with?" "I... I don''t
know." The blondedy''s breathing began to quicken. "I feel so hot right now, my chest feels tight."

As she spoke, she ced her hands in front of her body. Then, with a violent rip, the blonde tore the
cors of her dress apart baring more of her skin.
Henry noticed that red spots began appearing densely across the skin of the blondedy.
Henry quickly grabbed a bottle of water and poured it on her face.
Next, Henry pulled open the gauze that was wrapped around thedy''s wound and saw that her
wound was also covered with dense red spots.
"The wound is infected." Henry inhaled deeply and said, "It''s not a sign of poisoning. Have you done
drugs before?"
"I couldn''t refuse it." The blonde gritted her teeth. "They forced me to, I didn''t want to do it, but I
couldn''t..."
As the blonde spoke, her body began convulsing. Henry knew that she it was her addiction kicking
in.
The blondedy began wing all around her body. Two deep, bloody wounds appeared on her
slender white legs as she wed all over herself, her wound that had been stitched simply was
reopened and bleeding due to her violent movements.
"I apologise for doing this." Henry took a deep breath, then got onto the bed. He pressed hard onto
thedy''s limbs, seeing that there was no rope to tie her with, Henry could only do it that way.
It was undeniable that it was a great test for Henry to control his desires when faced with such a
beautiful woman underneath him.
Henry closed his eyes, stopping himself from looking at the figure of thedy or even thinking about
it, but the woman''s voice still kept entering his ears.
A regr man would usually be unable to ignore such temptations.
Henry kept taking deep breaths.
Sounds of footsteps came from the entrance of the underground bunker. Knowing that the short-
haireddy had returned, Henry felt relieved in his heart. If he continued pressed down on the
blonde any longer, he was worried that he would lose control of himself, the conflict within him was
torturous.
"What are you doing!" A loud voice sounded. This was not the voice of the short-haireddy, but the
voice of a man.
Henry opened his eyes and turned his head, only to see a handsome man about six feet tall, and
roughly 30 years of age, looking at him angrily.
The short-haireddy stood right next to the man.
They could clearly see that Henry was pressing down on the blonddy, the cor of her dress had
been torn, and her fair slender legs were revealingly exposed.
