Chapter 940
“Last month, our third batch of comrades died.
“Therefore, Mr. Thompson is very sad and worried that if we send other comrades over, the same things will happen.”
Bruce frowned when he heard that.
“Are you talking about Melta’s Humanoid Research Foundation?”
“Yes,” Aria replied seriously.
Bruce took a deep breath and his expression turned even gloomier.
“Six months ago, a werewolf attack on humans was discovered in West Melta.
“Although this news has been suppressed by Melta and they said that the attacker had rabies, it can’t be that simple.
“We suspect that Melta has been secretly using the genes of many creatures to combine with human genes, studying higher-level and more aggressive humanoid creatures.
“However, Melta has always been very secretive. Although we found some inside information, we don’t have any substantial evidence. There’s no way to expose Melta’s misconduct to the world.” After Aria finished speaking, her expression was extremely solemn.
Melta’s secret research of humanoid genes was something that Bruce had heard of.
However, he did not expect it to be so troublesome.
Three batches of comrades had already been sacrificed in the organization.
Bruce and Aria were the strongest agents in the organization. Mr. Thompson had no choice but to send the two of them.
“Now, almost all the comrades who joined the organization with us have been sacrificed. The new batch of comrades is still too weak to hold their own.
“If we send them on such a difficult mission, not only will they not be able to complete the mission, but they will also lose their lives for nothing.”
Bruce frowned. “What does Mr. Thompson mean?”
“Mr. Thompson wants the two of us to go.”
When Bruce heard this, his chest tightened and he felt frustrated.
As an outstanding agent of the country, he really had to carry out his missions. unconditionally, and he had to be prepared to sacrifice himself for his country at any time.
It was both a mission and a responsibility.
Seeing Bruce’s serious expression, Aria also looked quite solemn. “I know. It’s not

the time to talk about this now.
“However, I can’t stall anymore. I can only let you know first so that you can be mentally prepared.”
Bruce’s throat tightened. He asked in a low voice, “When does Mr. Thompson want us to go?”
“It needs to be done this year.”
Bruce listened and thought for a few seconds. “It’s almost September.
“I… I want to wait until my wife recovers completely.”
“Sure, I’ll try my best to talk to them about it.”
“Also…” Bruce’s eyes flickered. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Aria looked at him gently. “Tell me. As long as I can, I will definitely fight for it for you.”
Bruce paused and said seriously, “After completing this mission, I want to quit the organization.”
Aria was silent for a moment and just looked at Bruce quietly.
This mission was very dangerous. It was unknown if he could return.
Of course, if they were lucky enough to come back alive, what awaited Bruce would be supreme glory and praises.
Mr. Thompson had also said that when he retired, he would let Bruce replace him.
“Bruce, you have to consider it carefully.
“What Mr. Thompson means is that when he retires in the future, he will promote you to replace him.
“If you leave the organization now, do you know what that means?”
Bruce’s tone became deeper. “There’s no need to consider it. I’ve already thought about it very clearly.
“This is my last mission. After completing this mission, I will leave the
organization forever.”
Aria choked. Her eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
“I just want to live the life of an ordinary person and be with my family.”
Aria raised her voice slightly. “Alright, I’ll tell that to Mr. Thompson.”
Bruce was depressed for a few seconds before nodding. “As long as Mr. Thompson agrees to my request, I’ll accept this mission.
“Also, I need to be free for three months to deal with my personal matters. When I’m done with them, I can spare the energy to carry out my mission.”
He knew very well how dangerous this mission was. He just wanted to spend as much time as possible with Joanna and the children.

To be honest, with his current status and financial resources, there was no longer a need for him to do such dangerous work
However, as the best agent in the country, he had an undeniable responsibility and burden on his shoulders.
He could not back down when the country was in trouble.
No matter what, he had to complete this mission. This was also a responsibility to the organization, the country, and himself.
At the same time, it would also put a perfect end to his career as an agent.
“Um, does your wife know your identity?” Aria asked carefully.
“She doesn’t know, and I won’t let her know.”
“What about your remarriage? I think…”
Before she could finish, Bruce interrupted her. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll settle my private matters on my own.”
“Alright then!”
In the ward.
Joanna slept for nearly two hours before waking up in a daze.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Bruce’s handsome and worried face approached her.
“Honey, you’re awake?”
Joanna rubbed her eyes and said sleepily, “Oh my, why did I fall asleep?”
“Yeah! You fell asleep at the psychotherapy.”
“How long have I been asleep?”
“It’s only been two hours.”
“I’ve slept for so long?” Joanna sat up in bed and yawned lazily. “Well, I slept so well!”
Bruce smiled and said gently, “I’ve just arranged for a private plane to pick up Lilia
tomorrow.
“I think we’ll see Lilia the day after tomorrow.”
“Really? So fast?” Joanna was in disbelief.
Bruce grinned. “That’s right. Don’t you miss our daughter? Then we’ll bring her back as soon as possible.”
Joanna sat up and instantly lost her sleepiness. “Yeah, that’s great. I haven’t seen Lilia in more than a month. I really miss her.”
“By the time Lilia comes back, you’ll be ready to be discharged. Then we can go home together.”
