Chapter 126 The Big Doubt Brought by the Small Handgun

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Henry, for once, was in a flurry as he tried to push Phoenix's elastic body away.

But Phoenix wasn't an ordinary person. Since the General was trying his best to push her off, she wrapped herself around him like a seductive snake.

Finally, when Henry tried to push her away, she deliberately pushed her astonishingly prominent chest forward, blocking his way.

Henry's hand paused in mid-air for a full five seconds, not daring to push forward.

He had a headache. He had been missing Phoenix for a while, but he had forgotten about Phoenix's character...

Today was different from the past. A wry smile crossed his lips, "Phoenix, can you let me go? You’re almost choking me to death. You're disrespecting your superior!"

"I won't let go!" Phoenix held on tightly to the person she had missed for so long, burying her head further into his chest.

"Phoenix, this is the last time." Henry warned seriously, "I've reconciled with my ex-fiancée. You know, if you keep doing this, she will definitely be jealous."

"Then I'll shoot her." Phoenix looked up, her beautiful face and prominent figure in a red dress was emanating fierceness.

Henry sighed, "Stop joking around. Get down, we still have to greet our friends from the Corpse Mercenary Group."

Only then did Phoenix reluctantly get off Henry. But before leaving, she quickly planted a kiss on Henry's face.

Henry touched his cheek, still feeling helpless.

Seven years ago, when he first went to North State, he was just a new recruit. After participating in his first war, he was scarred and separated himself from his troop. It was then that he found a young girl by the roadside.

It was Phoenix, who was originally from a nearby village. But in the war, her village and family were completely destroyed. She was the only survivor, struggling to survive in the forest for three days before fainting by the roadside.

Out of compassion, Henry fed her with his own blood from his wounds and brought her back to the camp.

Unexpectedly, from then on, Phoenix developed a peculiar affection for him. In the camp, in order to keep up with him, she worked incredibly hard, eventually becoming one of the sharpest blades at Henry's disposal on his path to becoming the King of North State.

Henry knew Phoenix's feelings, but he couldn't forget Laura, so he treated Phoenix like a sister and spoiled her.

This led to Phoenix being one of the only soldiers in North State who was not afraid of Henry and even somewhat insolent.

"Phoenix, what is the meaning of this?"

Capital, with a scarred face, was shocked, but still maintained a calm posture and asked.

He guessed that something bad was about to happen.

Phoenix was just looking at Henry fondly and didn’t answer him.

Instead, it was Henry who smiled, “You should have guessed it by now. That's right, I'm Henry, and yes, I know Phoenix. You're lucky, without Phoenix, you wouldn't have found me."

Capital took a deep breath. For a moment, he was indecisive.

As soon as he saw Phoenix's actions, he knew things had gone wrong.

What Henry said was almost the same as his guess.

If this was a normal mission, he would have left in shame due to the reputation of the Phoenix organization.

But killing Henry was the only task that Giulio had assigned in recent years. If he didn’t complete it, he wouldn’t be able to justify the Costa family’s cultivation of them.

Capital stood in place, looking quite indecisive. His face was changing constantly; he couldn't make up his mind.

"Phoenix, you're so busy greeting the boss that you don't even have time to catch up with me and Antonio, huh?" Stefano was a little dissatisfied. He opened his arms and walked over, "Come on, let's hug too."

He took two steps, and his body stiffened. He stopped, and his face became incredibly awkward.

Phoenix's wrist turned, and a palm-sized, exquisitely modified handgun appeared in her hand. She looked at Stefano expressionlessly.

"What's the meaning of this, Phoenix?" Stefano was angry, "We're all comrades who have fought together; why are you pointing a gun at me? Why don't I see you doing this to Antonio, to Ryan?"

"They're not as despicable as you." Phoenix said indifferently.

Henry laughed heartily; he had missed this act of theirs for a long time.

Even Antonio, who was always cold, showed a hint of a smile.

Henry's unreserved laughter angered Capital, who was not far away.

Looking at their postures and thinking about Phoenix's completely different attitudes towards Henry and himself, he was burning with jealousy.

In a place like Triangle, women were scarce, and Phoenix, who was beautiful and strong, was unique.

After meeting Phoenix, he could hardly resist falling for her.

But now, seeing Phoenix's infatuated look, he knew that even if Henry died, Phoenix would never fall in love with another man.

Then let Henry die!

Capital gritted his teeth.

The organization that Phoenix belonged to was strong, but it was far away. Now, his men from the mercenary group were all here, with dozens of guns pointed in Henry and his people’s direction. Even if Phoenix wanted to counterattack, it was destined to be a fight of trapped beasts, unlikely to cause any big waves.

After all, every member of the Corpse Mercenary Group who could stand firm in the Triangle was not easy to provoke.

As for Henry...

Capital squinted his eyes, took a closer look again, and confirmed once more.

This guy must be the pretty boy that Phoenix kept around, there was no aura about him, he was just a bit handsome.

Touching his scarred face, Capital no longer hesitated, "Fire!"

The good-looking ones must die!

As soon as he yelled out his command, he suddenly darted towards the big tree beside him, to prevent Phoenix from counterattacking in her dying moments and using him as a shield.

In mid-air, Capital raised his handgun and aimed at Phoenix, ready to fire a few shots before jumping into cover.

But before he could pull the trigger, Phoenix, on the other side, suddenly turned around. The palm-sized handgun in her hand was already aimed at his head.

"Leave him alive."

Henry said in the blink of an eye. Phoenix fired instantly and the bullet went flying, but in the end, it only shattered Capital's gun and whistled into the trunk of the tree beside him.

"Bang!"

Wood chips flew everywhere.

Capital stood in place as cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

He had originally planned to hide behind the tree, but now looking at the fist-sized, smoking hole in the trunk, and then at the exquisite little handgun in Phoenix's hand, he couldn't help but swallow.

What the hell was that?

Was that a handgun or a sniper rifle?

The modification was too outrageous!

Even if he successfully hid behind the tree, once Phoenix fired, she would definitely shoot through both the tree and him!

And, there was one more terrifying thing he discovered.

After he ordered his men to fire, the surrounding jungle was still quiet; there was no movement at all.

It was as if there was no one there.

But that was impossible!

Their Corpse Mercenary Group had a total of fifty-one sharpshooters with a hundred battles under their belts!
