Alex's gaze slowly swept around the compartment, finally settling on Leo's face, with a hint of assessment and contemplation in his eyes. He took a deep breath and, in an almost educational tone, said to Leo, "Do you know what we do?" Leo's eyes darted back and forth between Alex and the others in the compartment, showing a hint of confusion and embarrassment on his face. Hesitantly, he replied, "Um... arms dealers?"
Alex shook his head gently, his expression turning more serious as he said, "We are a mercenary group... Our job is to kill bugs, kill people, and take on various cases to make money." His voice conveyed a sense of coldness and practicality, as if this were a cruel but real world rule.
Leo heard these words and couldn't help but feel a surge of complex emotions. He had originally thought that this was just a group of freelance fighters outside the battlefield, but now he realized that this might be a path to even more perilous and brutal circumstances. He knew that the life of a mercenary group was full of danger and uncertainty, but he also understood that this might be his chance to stand up again. A glint of determination and resolve shone in Leo's eyes as he knew that this might be his only way to return to the battlefield and prove himself. For a soldier who had once fought on the interstellar battlefield, this was both a challenge and an opportunity.
Alex slowly stood up from the couch, gently placing his glass on the table, and gazed deeply at Leo. "Do you know what the life of a mercenary means?" Alex's voice was deep and serious, his eyes directly fixed on Leo, as if testing his determination and courage.
Leo looked at Alex uncertainly, then glanced around at the other people. Although he felt some hesitation in his heart, he still answered firmly, "I know that being a mercenary is tough and dangerous, but I have experienced life and death on the battlefield. I'm not afraid to face danger again."
Alex leaned on the table, gazing deeply at Leo. His tone was serious, yet also challenging, "Young man, this is not a playground, nor is it like your military. This is not a place where you can just walk in." Leo stood up, his eyes shining with determination and resilience as he firmly responded, "I know it's not easy, but I can prove myself!"
At this moment, the man lying on the chair let out a mocking laugh and disdainfully said, "Oh? Prove yourself? By what right do you have?" His voice revealed a sense of disdain and provocation. Beside him, Emily frowned and said seriously, "Jim, don't be like this. Everyone has the right to prove themselves."
Leo's heart was pounding, feeling the weight of this challenge, but also understanding that this was a rare opportunity. He glanced at Jim's mocking gaze, but his determination only grew stronger. He knew clearly that this challenge would be the key to his resurgence. He was ready to face any test, just to prove his own worth and ability. In this world full of unknowns and challenges, Leo's determination was as hard as steel.
Leo's eyes were determined and direct as he walked up to Alex, getting close enough to almost feel each other's breath. His voice was deep but full of strength, revealing an unwavering determination: "Give me a chance, and I will prove my worth."
Alex raised his eyebrows, assessing the young man in front of him. A playful smile appeared on his face, then suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard an extremely amusing joke. His laughter echoed throughout the room, carrying a sense of challenge and curiosity: "Haha, very interesting! Young man, you are quite an intriguing person. Very well, I like a challenge, I like those who dare to face difficulties."
Alex's eyes sparkled with an evaluating and respectful light. Smiling and lightly patting Leo's shoulder, he gave him an affirming look. His attitude seemed to tell Leo that although the journey would be difficult, he was willing to give him this opportunity. Leo felt this recognition, and a warm feeling surged in his heart, filled with more determination and confidence. He knew that this would be a completely new beginning in his life, an opportunity to prove himself.
Alex sat in the main seat on the sofa, seemingly immersed in his own world, with his legs casually raised. His eyes revealed a cunning and confident light, seemingly quite pleased with the situation before him. Turning to Sarah beside him, he made a playful quip, "Come on, Sarah, show our new friend the daily life of Valkyrie mercenary group and the challenges we are about to face."
Sarah nodded in agreement, her fingers swiftly gliding over her wristband, focused and skilled. Before long, a detailed Mission file appeared on the virtual screen through high-tech projection. Every mission detail, every combat strategy, was clearly displayed in the flashing data.
Beside her, Emily looked somewhat worried, her expression carrying a hint of hesitation and concern. She quietly questioned Alex, "Captain, is this really okay? This mission might be too perilous for him." Her gaze involuntarily fell on Leo, as if assessing his capabilities.
Alex heard this and burst into laughter, his laughter filled with strength and confidence, like that of a seasoned warrior who had been through countless battles. He passionately declared, "Valkyrie mercenary group never fears challenges. What we need are warriors who dare to face everything, not cowardly retreaters. This kid, I see something in him. Let him give it a try."
The Mission file on the table unfolded like a three-dimensional scroll, with intricate and detailed contents, covering everything from reconnaissance, planning of the operational route, to emergency retreat strategies. Leo stared at this information intently, his heart pounding. Despite the unknown and fear filling his mind, his eyes sparkled with determination. He knew deep down that this was not just a challenge, but an opportunity to prove himself again and to be reborn from the ashes. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and prepared to face the upcoming test.
