Chapter 1283
Steel City once again returned to a state of calm.
Henry and Li did not hesitate. After Peze left, they walked out of the alley.
As soon as they walked out of the alley, they heard a slight shouting.
"Li? Is that you? Li?"
Looking at the direction of the voice, a few men and women could be seen running towards them.
The oldest man among them was in his forties and had an anxious look on his face.
"Captain?" Li''s face showed joy simr to meeting with an old friend in a different country. "Why are
all of you here?"
The middle-aged man ran to Li while gasping for breath. "Oh my God, it really is you. They said that
saw you being chased, I didn''t believe it at first. Why are you here? No one can enter this city as
they please nowadays, can''t they?"
Li sighed, then said, "That''s a long story. Why are you here?"
"By invitation, of course." the middle- aged man said, "All the forces of the underground world have
been invited to gather here, the Nine Fatale would naturally be invited here as well. Who''s this?"
The man looked at Henry curiously and asked.
"Captain, could you please find us somewhere to stay first? There are some things we have to talk
about."
"Okay, follow me, quickly. By the way, were those men who chased after you just now Reapers?"
The man asked. When he mentioned the Reapers, fearful expressions appeared on the faces of the
men and women. When they saw Li nod with certainty, all of them held their breaths in fear.
To them, the Reapers brought the same meaning as fear.

"Come on, let''s go find you some amodation first, we''ll talkter." the man said and brought Li
and Henry to their amodation.
The ce where these Nine Fatale members lived was not too far away. They just happened to see
Li running away, so they went out to take a look.
Henry followed Li to the amodation of the Nine Fatale. They were specially allocated three
rooms. Li told the people of Nine Fatale about the whole of Henry''s story.
When Li made it clear to everyone, they all looked at Henry differently. It turned out that Li was
chased by the Reapers because of this person! Was it because he had offended Radiant Ind?
"Li, what you''ve done really wasn''t wise." A member of the Nine Fatale said, "Because this person
offended Radiant Ind. We''re talking about Radiant Ind here!"
Li shook her head. "I don''t regret my actions. This was we had agreed on from the very beginning. If
it weren''t for him, we would have already died in thest mission."
The member of Nine Fatale still wanted to say something, but he was stopped by the middle-aged
man.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, "Alright, now that things have already happened,
it''s pointless to say anything now. However, there are some things that should end here."
Having said that, he looked at Henry. "Mr. Zhang, I have basically understood the matter here. First
of all, I thank you for helping my men. They have also fulfilled their promise. I think from now on, my
men should have no more to do with you."
Henry nodded and said, "I understand."
"In that case." The middle-aged man gestured to the door. "Mr. Zhang, you won''t be you staying
here for the night."
The meaning of the man''s words was clear enough.
Henry smiled and reached out his right hand to Li.
"I would like to thank you once again for your help. I apologise for all the trouble I have brought you.
If the opportunity ever arises, I can promise you one more request."
"That won''t be necessary.", the middle-aged man spoke before Li could say anything, "Mr. Zhang,
from now on, we have nothing to do with you. What conflicts you have with Radiant Ind has
nothing to do with the Nine Fatale, and we really couldn''t care less about your so-called request."
"Alright, then." Henry sighed. He really was currently not in any position to promise anything. After
all, even he did not know what he should do next.
"Syl, I..." Li tried to say something, but did not know what more to say. Perhaps it was how Henry
had protected the child in the truck back then that caused her to feel sad to see such a person walk
alone into the darkness of the city.
"Everyone is just trying to survive. I understand. Thank you. Li, if I don''t die this time, I''ll treat you to
a meal." Henry waved to Li and walked out of the amodation of the Nine Fatale. His figure
disappeared into the darkness.
Li stared into the direction of the open door and returned to her senses only until the middle-aged
man closed the door.
Henry walking in the dark city, he was the only one on the street.
Henry looked at the direction of the ind. That was his destination. Henry believed that that was
the only ce in the entire world that could keep him safe at the moment.
For Henry in his normal state, it took only a few minutes to reach the entrance of the City of Hell
from where he stood. However, now, such a distance was just as far as the gap between life and
death for Henry. He knew that along this path, there were countless experts of the Alvin League and
Recluse Association lying in wait for him, waiting for him to fall into their trap.
Under the dark sky, Henry felt lost. Now, no one could help him.
Henry leaned against a wall and rubbed at his temples, then muttered, "Sometimes, it really is so
difficult to make a decision."
Henry inhaled deeply, then suddenly stood up and murmured again, "However, if some decisions
are made, everything will be much easier."
Henry stretched out his hand and looked at his palm. Then, as if he had made a decision, he strode
towards the direction of Radiant Ind.
"Who are you?!"
Henry, who was walking on the street, was soon discovered by the people who patrolled Steel City.
These people were all men of Alvin Tsu.
Henry ignored the question and continued striding towards Radiant Ind.
"Stop!" The man shouted again, but when he looked towards the direction of Henry, he saw that the
figure who had been walking on the street had suddenly disappeared, and the direction he was
headed for was Radiant Ind!
The man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately took out his walkie- talkie. "Hurry,
someone is trying to barge into the ind!"
Very quickly, rms red through Steel City.
"Barge into the ind?" Knox and cido were sitting together in a house. When they heard the
news, the both of them were shocked, then turned to look at each other. They both saw a fierce look
in each other''s eyes.
"So he is finally willing to show up?"
"It must have been really hard for a king to live like a rat in the sewer for so many days."
"However, since he''s willing to show himself, we can''t just watch him, can we? We should give the
King of Hell some dignity."
"The night is dark tonight. The wind is strong and there''s no moon. It''s a perfect night for ughter."
"It''s pretty fitting for the king of the City of Hell to die in the darkness."
