Chapter 349
“A girl?” Charlie was kinda surprised. A girl that young would actually be a mercenary
Jonathan nodded, “She was probably only 15 then, but she had great shooting skills and was very agile. She just didn’t talk much. She’d always sit alone and loved sweets. We’d bring chocolate with us, and I gave all of mine to her!”
The mission they took on that time was to destroy a lab built by an organization deep in the primeval forest. Although the squad was temporarily put together, they quickly bonded with each other except for her. She was always cautious towards everyone and did things on her own.
He accidentally discovered her sweet tooth and started to save his chocolate for her.
At first, she wouldn’t take it but slowly accepted it.
They stayed together for three days, and besides saying thank you when accepting his chocolate, he never heard her speak at any other time.
Because she was under the highly revered Gab in the mercenary world, people were skeptical about her age and skills, but no one dared to provoke her. They didn’t even know she was a girl
It wasn’t until three days later when they entered the forest, and she took out a well-hidden camera on a tree near the lab with a single shot that everyone started to see her in a new light.
There were heavy weapons inside the lab, so they couldn’t just barge in. They had to sneak in and disable the weapon systems. With guards everywhere both in and out of the lab, her small size proved to be a great advantage for evading the security and sneaking in successfully.
That’s when they realized that even though she never spoke during planning, she had every detail memorized and synchronized perfectly with her teammates.
In the end, it was just him and her going to the underground warehouse to destroy the drugs developed by the lab. One room was filled with test subjects. She went in to save them but was attacked by a group of them who had lost their consciousness.
By the time he arrived, she had already come out covered in blood, and there were no survivors in
the room.
She went to the next room to find some hemostatic medicine, and when he saw the long gash on her back. He lifted her shirt up to her wound, and that’s when he found out she was a girl.
He was taken aback, even more than Charlie’s current expression!
With such a long gash on her back, she didn’t say a word, pulled down her clothes as if nothing had happened, and continued with the mission.
While setting up the explosives, a gas leak occurred. They had no choice but to hide in a sealed room temporarily.
The countdown started, and the underground section of the lab was destroyed. The steel structure room they were in was buried, but they survived.
They stayed in that room for two days before the people above dug through the rubble to find them. The lab was a cold storage unit for living subjects, and those 48 hours were the longest of his life.

The temperature was so low they needed to hold each other to maintain their body temperature.
Luckily, she had brought plenty of chocolate.
Two days later they saw the light again. Her back wound worsened, and Gab personally flew a helicopter to pk her up.
They never saw each other again after that.
Many years have passed, but he still remembers every detail of that mission vividly.
