Chapter 12: Spare the General

"Henry stared at the black muzzles without changing his expression. Even Stefano couldn't help but sneer.

They pretended not to see and continued walking forward.

"Where are the people from the Lewis family? Come out and meet me," Henry shouted, catching sight of the Lewis family's luxury car not far away.

Captain Kevin was curious, observing these three people who remained unaffected under the barrels of the guns, and asked, "Kid, have both you and the person behind you served in the military?"

Having been in the military, one's way of walking was completely different from an ordinary person. At a glance, Captain Kevin could tell that Henry and Stefano's walking posture was not that of ordinary soldiers.

Soldiers had a mutual understanding, but that wouldn't spare them before their impending death.

“There's a bit of kindness in these words," Stefano responded as soon as he heard Captain Kevin's words, stepping forward abruptly. "Outrageous! Captain, how dare you speak like that."

Captain Kevin's expression turned cold. In terms of rank, he indeed held the position of Major.

"You guys fear nothing, daring to speak to me like this! Where did you green recruits come from? Do they even know who I am?!"

Stefano replied without reservation, "Why bother knowing when you're just mere rabble!"

"How dare you to call us mere rabble?!" Captain Kevin thundered angrily. The Tiger Gangs might terrify the people of Freton; nobody dared to defy them. They were a battle-hardened army, and this was the first time they received such derogatory remarks.

At this moment, Henry spoke coldly, "If not mere rabble, what are they? These soldiers may seem crazy, but they are fierce on the inside. They may appear like wolves, but in reality, they are just dogs!"

A short distance away, Master Miller, Simone, and others listened as Henry dared to speak to the Tiger Gang in such a manner, secretly delighted.

"Young people will be young people, easily agitated! Even if he has some skills from military training, daring to speak to the Tiger Gang like this will undoubtedly lead to death! Once a salvo of bullets is fired, no matter how arrogant he is, he will perish."

Simone thought to himself, feeling pleased. Initially, he was worried that Henry might have some support, such as being a soldier from some elite legion, which would give the Tiger Gang some problems.

However, looking at Captain Kevin now, unable to contain his murderous intent, even if Henry had an extraordinary identity, he would probably end up dead.

No matter what his identity was, who would dare to come to Freton and confront the Tiger Gang head-on?

Sofia's body swayed, nearly losing her balance. She was already beginning to despair, not daring to open her eyes, afraid that in the next second, Henry, along with her father, would be riddled with countless bullets.

"You are bold, young man. It's been a long time since anyone has shown such boldness in front of our Tiger Gang," Captain Kevin said slowly, "If we were elsewhere, I might consider inquiring about your background, but in Freton, I couldn't care less."

"Brothers, capture this kid for me. I want to slowly torture him to death!"

Captain Kevin gave the order.

"Hold on!" Henry suddenly spoke, staring at Captain Kevin's face, and said, "You served in the North State army, didn't you?"

Captain Kevin raised an eyebrow, waved his hand to stop his subordinates, and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"General, could it be that he is..." Stefano, aware of his master's capabilities, couldn't help but change his expression, followed by a pang of heartache.

Henry nodded and, with a hint of regret in his gaze, replied, "Kevin once served in the North State army, I vaguely remember."

After seven years of fighting on the battlefield, he had risen from a low-ranking soldier to an undisputed hero known as General North State, not only because of his martial skills but also because of his courage. He had a special bond with every soldier who had served under him. Even when he commanded an army of hundreds of thousands, he could almost recognize every soldier under his command.

Captain Kevin was once a soldier of North State, but only in the reserves, and never formally joined the North State Legion.

Back then, Henry only had a few subordinates, but they were highly skilled and determined. Anyone who lacked skill or spirit was not accepted. Kevin was one of those who didn't make the cut.

It's a pity that he almost became a North State warrior, but now he's going to die here.

Henry's expression was cold.

Captain Kevin looked at Henry's face and gradually felt uneasy. He couldn't help but feel that the face of this person in front of him became more and more familiar as if it overlapped with the face of the legendary King Henry from his memory.

In his prime, that man led his troops in the blood-soaked battles against North State, repeatedly defeating enemies ten times, even a hundred times their numbers. He was invincible and countless lives fell by his hand!

Five years ago, filled with excitement, Kevin thought about joining that man's army. But his qualifications fell short, and he was kicked out. However, Captain Kevin still carried a sense of pride.

That North State army was truly the number one military force of Diony Country! Even someone like him, who was eliminated, could become a lieutenant colonel in a top-notch army when he returned to Freton.

Although he could no longer remember clearly the face of the North State general that he had glanced at in the formation back then, the imposing aura remained etched in Captain Kevin's heart like a towering mountain.

This... is impossible! Looking at Henry's indifferent gaze, it felt as though he was a god looking down on ants.

Captain Kevin struggled to dismiss his crazy thoughts. "You can't be him... even if you are, I'll kill you here!"

Dozens of bayonets were aimed at him. Even if he was a god, so what?

Captain Kevin gritted his teeth, recalling the scene of being kicked out of the military camp, and a sense of revenge welled up inside him.

Whether it mattered or not was irrelevant. Dead people can't do anything.

"No survivors, open fire!" Captain Kevin decisively gave the order.

The muzzles of dozens of rifles were raised once again, and in the next second, thousands of bullets were fired.

Henry calmly watched everything without moving a muscle.

"Kill!"

Right before the trigger was pulled, countless red dots emerged on the bodies of every Tiger Gang soldier.

Each dot was like a needle, piercing Captain Kevin's pupils. He looked down and saw countless red dots on his own body, scattered across his skin.

With his deep reserves of military knowledge, he had already deduced the method used.

The size and brightness of the red dot indicated that it was the latest generation of infrared sight from Diony Country, and each one was more expensive than the submachine gun in the hands of the Tiger Legion! This was just the sight, what about the gun it was attached to? Was it the nearly hundred thousand dollar Diony Country Fire Series assault rifle? Or perhaps the Fire Dragon, a single-shot bullet with power surpassing that of ordinary sniper rounds, priced at thirteen thousand dollars per unit? Captain Kevin no longer doubted in his heart; this indifferent young man was likely the general from North State! Only the North State Legion could infiltrate Freton so silently, ambushing nearby without even being detected by the Tiger Legion.

"You want to kill me? Even after recognizing me, you still want to kill me?" Henry's face displayed a teasing expression as he mocked.

Captain Kevin opened his mouth but his lips trembled several times, unable to say anything. Then, with a thud, he knelt and buried his head deeply into the ground.

"Mercy, General…"
