Chapter 125 Are you Reluctant to Let me Die?

Before Alaric began, he took a light breath through his nose and slowly looked up at the ceiling. He gradually started telling the story.

"My parents had an arranged marriage between two prominent families. They didn't have any feelings for each other, and they had been arguing for as long as I can remember. Later on, my father had an affair, and their relationship completely soured. At that time, I was still immature, but the idea of marriage being terrifying was ingrained in me. Their marriage ended in failure, but they still arranged one for me from a young age- a childhood betrothal with Orion. I was particularly opposed to it. Afterward, when I had the opportunity to join the military, I went without hesitation to escape this family."

"After joining the military, I felt like I was reborn. I found a career that I genuinely liked and was willing to protect with my life. However, my father passed away shortly after. My mother pressured me to leave the military in all types of ways. She even directly reached out to the higher-ups, so our commanding officers were also in a difficult position."

"At that time, there was an international organization called the Astral Innovations Group, which was particularly famous. Under my mother's pressure, my commanding officer never allowed me to know of that organization. He always advised me to come back.

"So, for the next few years, I constantly dealt with this organization. The longer it went, the more I realized they weren't as simple as I had imagined. They were like a never-ending black vortex. It spent many years of painstakingly-searching for the organization's more important base, and I led the team to eliminate the terrorists."

"I'm not exaggerating when I say that the gunfight lasted for a day and a night, with bullets flying and blood flowing like a river. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. The mastermind on the other side, known only by the code name Tiger, was never seen."

"In the final moments of the gunfight, I found a guy named Tiger who had unparalleled skills and marksmanship. The fight went from guns to close combat, and in the end, I managed to stab him in the chest with a knife. However, to my surprise, Tiger had another gun hidden on him. He shot me in the chest, and..."

I immediately contacted the military about Tiger, but the commanding officer had already retired. They responded that Astral Innovations Group
