When Emily gently reached out her hand to help Leo, he suddenly used his hands, which had been burned by the flames and were in unbearable pain, to prop himself up on the door frame of the compartment, firmly refusing this care. His voice was hoarser and more powerful than usual: "No! Don't come over!" This sentence was like a warning bell, immediately drawing everyone's attention in the compartment to him, even Jim, who had been lying on the sofa seemingly deeply asleep, involuntarily pulled down the hat on his face, peeking out from the shadow of sleep with a complex look in his eyes, watching Leo.
At that moment, Leo felt the intense pain from deep within his body, as if the wounds on his hands were reminding him of the hellish ordeal he had just experienced with every breath. However, it was precisely this pain that became the only reason for him to continue standing, continue breathing, and continue to persevere.
At this moment, even though Leo is standing with difficulty and every inch of his body is transmitting signals of pain, he still tells everyone in his own way that he is not so fragile, that he can endure all of this, and that he can continue to move forward for them, for his own beliefs. In the face of this Leo, everyone involuntarily feels a kind of wordless shock and respect, even the body that is tormented by pain and exhaustion becomes incredibly strong and resolute at this moment.
Leo's voice is hoarse and low, coming through his hoarse throat: "Alex, I have completed the mission, I... have wiped out those people." His eyes are firm, and even the intense pain in his body cannot conceal his pride in accomplishing the mission.
Alex looked up, furrowing his brow, and asked in disbelief, "Wiped out? There were at least twenty or thirty people there. You were unarmed and without backup. It would have been impressive if you could take down just the gang leaders... How is that possible?" His voice was filled with doubt and confusion, clearly finding it hard to believe that Leo could single-handedly take on so many people.
Meanwhile, Sarah quietly operated the high-tech arm brace on her wrist. Her movements were quick and skilled, and she soon pulled up the latest news and fire records. When her eyes landed on the information on the screen, she widened them, showing an expression of disbelief. "Look at this!" Her voice was full of shock and amazement, as if she had discovered something unbelievable.
The news on the screen reported a large-scale fire and explosion, with fire records showing fierce flames that completely destroyed the drug manufacturing facility, resulting in the deaths of as many as twenty to thirty unidentified individuals. The news also mentioned that due to the intense fire, the entire factory was rapidly engulfed, with firefighters describing it as a rare large-scale fire.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, as everyone processed this sudden news. Leo's brief report and the current news on the screen seemed to build an unbelievable bridge. Alex and the other members couldn't help but reevaluate the man in front of them, who had just struggled back from the brink of death. His courage and determination became even more profound and awe-inspiring in that moment.
Jim has always been the most relaxed member of Valkyrie, but this time, after hearing about Leo's amazing feat, he sat up from the couch for the first time. His face showed an expression of disbelief, followed by a big smile filled with admiration and amazement for Leo. He applauded vigorously and said with a laugh, "That's awesome, to blow up the entire factory like that. I think you're the first one to do something like that." Jim's words revealed a kind of envy and respect, as if Leo's actions had surpassed any of their previous operations in the mercenary group.
At this moment, Leo, with a tired but satisfied smile on his face, pulled out bundles of Star Alliance Banknotes and a few small gold bars from his tattered pockets. His movements were somewhat clumsy, clearly affected by his injuries. Leo placed the money and gold bars on the table, and apologetically said, "There's still some left in the factory... I couldn't take them, and I lost some while escaping... only these are left." His voice sounded somewhat resigned, evidently regretting not being able to bring back more funds.
On the table, the Star Alliance Banknote and the gold bars, although not as numerous as they should have been, became silent heroes in Leo's eyes at that moment. In the eyes of everyone in the compartment, these were not just symbols of money, but also witnesses to Leo's courage, wisdom, and perseverance. As Alex and the other members looked at Leo, their eyes held not only surprise and admiration, but also deep respect for this warrior who fearlessly ventured into the enemy's territory alone and emerged victorious.
Leo, despite being covered in wounds and seemingly carrying endless pain with every step, still managed to kneel down slowly on one leg, his remaining consciousness barely holding on. With his head bowed, his voice low but filled with strength and determination, he then spoke loudly, "Alex, can I join Valkyrie like this? Am I qualified?" After saying this, he lifted his head, his eyes burning with fury, staring straight at Alex. His gaze held both expectation and challenge, as if to say that he had done everything he could, and now it was Alex's turn to respond.
Alex looked at Leo's fierce appearance, which he had never seen before. The bloodstains and scars on his body made him look like a warrior returning from hell, with each scar telling the story of the hellish battle he had just experienced. A slight smile appeared on Alex's face, containing recognition and respect for Leo. He looked at Leo with deep eyes, as if at that moment, he saw the indomitable and forward-looking spirit on Leo, which is exactly what the Valkyrie mercenary group needed.
The atmosphere in the entire compartment became solemn and dignified at that moment. Leo's challenge was not only a proof to himself, but also a challenge to the entire Valkyrie mercenary group.
