My Waste Husband
Chapter 1276

Chapter 1276

The middle-aged captain and the short-haired lady stared at the skinny member of the Nine Fatale in complete shock.

"I don't understand." The short-haired lady shook her head slightly.

"Human beings die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food." the skinny member of the Nine Fatale laughed, then lit a cigarette. "How much am I paid to complete this mission? Do you know what how much Lord Gerlaich had offered me?"

As he said of this, he extended a finger. "Every single one of your life is worth ten million! As for the man on the wanted list, he is worth fifty million!"

The short-haired lady opened her mouth, but no words came out of it. Whatever they did, they did for the money. Human beings die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food. These words were true. However, she found the fact that her companions had betrayed her unacceptable. After all, they had gone through thick and thin together.

Gerlaich had a victorious look on his face. He walked into the room and looked at the traitorous squad member and asked, "Where's the man I want?"

"I don't know." the traitor shook his head. "They were still here before, but they are nowhere to be seen now, but it doesn't matter, after all, these people are now in your hands, aren't they?"

"Useless piece of sh*t!" Gerlaich swore at him loudly. "What's the point of wanting these pieces of trash? I want the other guy. Find him!"

"Bang!"

A loud slam sounded from outside the room, interrupting Gerlaich in the middle of his swearing.

Henry's voice sounded from the outside. "Looking for me?"

Gerlaich spun around suddenly to see Henry. He appeared in a tattered pickup truck outside the house. The loud slam earlier was the result of the pickup truck ramming through the wall.

"It's you!" Gerlaich's pupils contracted. A look of surprise and joy appeared on his face. He roared loudly. "Get him!"

Henry flipped him off, then grabbed a tear bomb in one hand and threw it accurately into the house. Then he stomped on the accelerator and sped away.

The instant the tear bomb landed on the ground, it unleashed its greatest fury. Everyone in the room was affected by it.

The short-haired lady and the middle-aged captain were both experienced experts in combat. As soon as the tear bomb landed, both of them seized the opportunity to knock away the guns that had been held against their heads, then rushed into the house.

Amidst the chaos, Gerlaich was still within the room. A thick cloud of smoke rose in front of him, and he roared loudly, "Don't fire. I'm right here! I'm right here!"

The armed mercenaries did not dare to pull the trigger, which gave the middle-aged man and the short- haired woman the opportunities they needed. With the use of their superior skills, the two of them took down several mercenaries in succession and found the other two members who were still bound to their seats. They drew their daggers and cut the ropes that bound them. Just as the four of them were about to escape, a loud bang sounded.

"Bang!"

A hole was blown up in the wall behind the four of them.

"Come on, let's go. It's more convenient from

here."

Henry squatted outside the hole and waved vigorously at the four of them.

After exchanging glances with each other, the four of them went through the hole followed by one after another.

Henry's old pickup truck was already waiting for them there. As soon as the four of them squeezed into the truck, Henry slammed onto the gas pedal, and the truck sped away, leaving behind only smoke and dust.

"Guys, it appears that your operation did not go very smoothly." Henry sat in the driver's seat, holding a chicken drumstick in his hand.

The four of the member's faces were dark. If Henry had not arrived in time, they would have died there, ironically in the hands of their own men.

The blonde lady sitting in the front seat turned around and handed a remote control to the short- haired lady.

"This is the remote control connected to whatever that is attached to that teammate of yours. Press on it if you want to, you might even be able to complete your mission at the same time," Henry said as he bit into the drumstick in his hand.

The short-haired lady looked at the remote control

in a daze.

While the short-haired lady stared blankly at the remote control, the short- tempered member snatched it and pressed the button without a thought.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded from the safe house. They turned around to look and clearly saw that the roof of it had been blown into the sky.

The four members of the Nine Fatale gulped subconsciously.

The captain said, "You said that the explosives were attached onto our teammate?"

"Yup." Henry nodded.

"Why?" the captain asked, "Were you thinking of dealing with us?"

"Why would I want to do that?" Henry snapped his fingers. "Back then when I overheard you discussing your plans, that was my first time seeing him, he seemed a little unconfident. When you all were focused in your discussions, he spent time checking out his weapon. This meant that he either had plans of his own, or he never participated in any discussions of plans, right?"

The short-haired lady opened her mouth as if to say something, then nodded and said. "Yes, he has never participated in any discussions of plans, that was how he was all along." "Then that's it." Henry took another bite of the drumstick. "Yet the day before yesterday, he suddenly came up with a very meticulous plan. Didn't any of you find it strange?"

"And that is all it took?" asked the captain.

"Of course not." Henry shook his head. "This is just one of the points that made me suspicious of him. I was sure he had betrayed you when I noticed a tiny pinhole on the artery of his right arm.

This had never been there before. Plus, he would unconsciously scratch his ears and cheeks when he sat around in the room. His movements were similar to hers."

He pointed to the blonde lady next to him as he spoke of this.

The captain frowned and said, "You mean, he did drugs too?"

"Yup." Henry nodded. "Since he had developed an addiction and could still make it back alive, there is no other possibility other than that he has betrayed you. So that's what it is. Now that I've done what I had promised you, your mission has been accomplished. Now, it's your turn to hold up your end of our deal and help me out of here."

The short-haired lady nodded and said, "Of course, we're not liars. Where are you headed?"

Henry inhaled deeply and said, "Radiant Island." "Radiant Island!"

All five of them in the car were surprised, including the blonde lady.

"Exactly. I need you to take me to Radiant Island."

"That's very difficult." The captain frowned. "Radiant Island is situated in the Sosasmo desert. To get there, well all need to go through several checks. If you don't qualify for certain standards, you won't be able to get through. Why are you going there? That is no place for people like us to be in."

"I have an old friend who is there, I need to pick something up from him." Henry came up with an excuse.

"We can take you there," the short-haired lady said.

The other members wanted to say something, but were stopped by the short- haired lady with a gesture of her hand.

The short-haired lady continued, "But we might not be able to enter. We can't guarantee you anything. The new King of the City of Hell has announced a new set of rules. Radiant Island has changed."
