Chapter 1274


    "Let her go!" the shortdy woman rushed over quickly and pulled Henry off the blondedy, then


    took off her jacket and covered the blondedy with it.


    The man rushed over and punched Henry in the face.


    This man was strong. In Henry''s current physical condition, he was unable to effectively dodge the


    punch and was hit directly in the face.


    Henry stumbled back a few steps.


    "I''ll kill you!" the man roared.


    "Stop!" the short-haireddy shouted, stopping the man. She had also noticed that something was


    wrong with the blondedy.


    Henry wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. "It''s her addiction. I can''t do anything but


    hold her like I did just now. It''s great that you''ve returned. I''ll leave her to you. She will probably faint


    later. I need to take a break. Her wound has reopened and needs to be stitched again."


    After Henry said that, he walked over to a side, picked up a bottle of water and gulped it down. The


    whole incident earlier had made him thirsty.


    The short-haireddy knew that she had wronged Henry, so an apologetic look was disyed on


    her face.


    As for the man, he retracted his fist and did not say a word, nor did he take another look at Henry.


    Just as Henry had said, the blondedy soon turned unconscious.


    "I''ll get the first aid kit," the short-haireddy said before running out of the safe room.


    After the short-haired woman left, the man who looked to be in his thirties red at Henry and


    warned, "Behave yourself. I know why you are being wanted. If it wasn''t for Li who told me that you


    had helped them, I would have killed you!"


    Henry ignored him. As a man, he could understand the man''s thoughts very well. All men had a


    strong sense of possession. This blondedy was a beauty and also theirpanion. Although


    they may not have anything special going on between them, but he would still be upset to see the


    blondedy''s body exposed before Henry. After all, her body was a wondrous sight he had never


    gotten to witness.


    Soon enough, the short-haireddy returned. This time, three men came with her. They all seemed


    to be approximately twenty-five to thirty years old. Calluses could be seen around their purlicues,


    they were all experts with guns.


    One of them saw Henry and sneered. "This is that piece of sh*t! He wants to cooperate with us?


    And we help him leave this ce? Bah!"


    "Enough, let''s not start arguing now, there might have been some misunderstanding." The short-


    haireddy tried to calm them down. Not only had Henry saved the blonde- haireddy before, but


    now they had to rely on Henry to re- stitch her wound.


    Henry noticed that among the three that had just arrived, one of them was holding a wanted poster,


    printed on it was a portrait of him. Henry squinted and read the writing on the poster. It stated that


    he had sexually assaulted many women and killed their entire families afterwards, describing him as


    aplete monster.


    Henry smiled bitterly. It was usually the people of this kind who were the easiest to arouse and lead


    to public wrath. Seeing that the Recluse Association had described him in such a way, no civilian


    would be willing to help him.


    Henry shook his head. He took the medical kit from the short-haireddy and proceeded to stitch up


    the blondedy''s wound. The rest of the men who had arrived did not trust him, some even came


    over to watch over him when he dealt with thedy''s wound.


    Henry did not bother to exin anything to them. After leaving this ce, they would bepletely


    different people in twopletely different worlds, and their paths would probably never cross ever


    again.


    A few days had gone by. Henry''s main goal was to heal himself. He would asionally leave the


    safe room and go to the surface to have a look.


    Within those days, some people did arrive at the house and conducted a search. However, the four


    new members brought in by the short-haireddy sent them off very quickly. Those four men would


    also go out every day to collect some information, then analyse their target in the safe room.


    On the seventh day of Henry''s stay in the safe room, the short-haireddy and others decided to


    move out.


    Although the short-haireddy also told the other four of her teammates that Henry was going to


    cooperate with them, nobody took her seriously.


    As for the blondedy, although her wound had begun to heal, she still was not fit enough to


    participate in such a dangerous mission. Moreover, she was not a member ofbat, so she


    remained in the safe room, and so did Henry.


    Within the entire week, the blondedy looked a lot more haggard, and her withdrawal symptoms


    happened from time to time. This caused her to be unable to sleep, and unable to eat at the same


    time. She just curled up on the bed listlessly. She was once a beautifuldy, but in the past seven


    days, she had been tortured to an extremely sorry state. She had lost all of that beauty she once


    had, and her eyes were empty.


    Henry sighed. He despised drugs from the bottom of his heart. It could easily destroy a person and


    his home. Back then when he still roamed the underground world, he would free all of those who


    were addicted to it from life along the way.


    Henry walked over to the blondedy and looked at her, then said, "It won''t be long before


    everything here is over. You''d be able to go back and recuperate for a while. This too shall pass."


    The blondedy remained curled up, but she opened her mouth, and managed to spit out two


    words, "Thank you."


    "Let''s go. We can''t stay here anymore." Henry grabbed her arm. "In such a small town, the native


    awareness of the residents is very strong. Their very different Yan Xia features had long been


    noticed. People would eventuallye searching this area the moment they made their move.


    Moreover, their were very likely to fail their mission..."


    Henry said as he nced at the wall. For the past seven days, the short-haireddy and those men


    had been nning out their actions. Henry saw that their n was quite a good one, but there were


    still some ws to it. Although the ws were subtle, but they could be fatal.


    "Fail?" the blonde shook her head. "That won''t happen. The captain is very meticulous in his work.


    He has never failed before."


    "Of course." Henry nodded. "To be in this line of work, you''d lose your life instantly if you fail. Those


    who live to this day, had basically never failed before."

    The blondedy was stunned for a moment, then a trace of worry appeared in her eyes. Among


    them, it was her who trusted him the most.


    "Let''s go." Henry pulled the blondedy up. They opened the door of the safe room and walked out.


    There was no one on the first floor of the house. A ray of sunlight shone down on them the moment


    Henry opened the door, hitting him with a sense offort. The blonde also showed an enjoyable


    expression, she had been living in the dark, gloomy safe room for the past seven days.
