The young man was walking ahead, with Jack following behind, his face showing seriousness and anger. After walking for some time, they saw people guarding a luxurious and large wooden cabin.

"You stop right there!" The young man almost jumped in place when Jack spoke. Then he approached him helplessly and slapped him twice on the face, saying,

"Alright, this time I'll be forgiving, but next time you'll find a gun to your head. Do you understand me?"

"Y-Yes, sir. Thank you for your mercy and generosity!" The young man bowed with respect and appreciation before hastily departing.

Jack looked at the young man as he left and muttered, "What a foolish lad. If I were in charge, I would have killed you for your stupidity. Oh well, let's see what we have here. Three men guard the supposed headquarters, a large and luxurious wooden cabin. Well, I think I can handle this, but man, this place is huge. How is it possible for it to be in the sewers?"

Jack glanced at the cabin again before returning to the armory. This time, he tried to avoid drawing attention, knowing that the trick wouldn't work twice. As he approached the armory, he picked up an iron rod lying on the ground to deal with the guard.

When Jack reached the armory, he simply distracted the guard by waving at him and smiling, causing confusion. In the moment when the guard came closer, Jack increased his speed and attacked the guard with the iron rod. The guard lost consciousness, and Jack entered the storage room, where he took some hand grenades, smoke bombs, a knife, a small pistol, and a bulletproof vest. He noticed a small window and opened it, leaving the grenade boxes exposed to execute his next plan. Then he calmly left to head towards the headquarters, running silently despite carrying all the equipment with him. When he arrived at the headquarters, he didn't waste any time. He threw a smoke grenade at the guards before penetrating the smoke and striking them all down. Of course, there was gunfire from the guards, so Jack was no longer safe. He quickly smashed the door and simultaneously threw a hand grenade inside the cabin, where screams and sounds of movement ensued.

As the grenade exploded, Jack swiftly entered the cabin and searched for the first person inside. The first person his gaze fell upon was a trembling old man, and in front of him was a chubby man who was partially burned already. Jack raised his pistol and shot the old man before noticing a woman hiding among the group, crouched under a table, fear evident on her face. He leaped towards her and struck her with his strong grip, causing her to fall unconscious. From the corner of his eye, he noticed another person attempting to escape, so he threw his knife, which landed in the man's neck from behind, causing him to fall dead. Then he shifted his gaze back to the cabin and quickly wiped it down. He found a collection of papers and documents, took a small phone, and swiftly captured everything before exiting the cabin, carrying the woman on his back.

In the blink of an eye, the place became crowded with soldiers who didn't fully understand the situation but were aware that an intruder had entered their base. This was the place where the future of the nation would be built. How could they forgive anyone who dared to stop them? And indeed, after just a few moments, the soldiers started chasing the escaping Jack. When Jack noticed their overwhelming numbers, he shook the woman's body slightly to signal that if they opened fire, she would be the one consumed.

"Damn it!"

"He's mocking us!"

"Let's open fire, men. I'm sure Lady H will be pleased to sacrifice herself to kill this scoundrel."

"You fool! All the leaders have been killed. Only Lady H remains! We must protect her with our lives for the sake of our cause."

"To all units, block his path immediately!"

It was evident that Jack was moving randomly, making it difficult for them to catch up with him at first. But with each new turn, more and more soldiers came and blocked his path, making it easier to predict his movements. The idiot was heading towards a dead end; we will be able to capture him soon.

Jack's movements became more organized, and for him, the path he had taken before was the way to the armory. When Jack noticed the armory from a distance, he increased his speed and surpassed it. Then, when most of the soldiers were surrounding the armory, he forcefully threw the woman high into the air with all his strength. The motion caused the soldiers to instinctively look at the woman in disbelief, not realizing the small, curled black object that flew into an open window in the armory.

At the moment when Jack barely regained control of the falling woman's body, he regained his balance and jumped in front of her on the ground. Then a bright light shone from behind him.

In that moment, the bomb he had thrown exploded, causing the entire storage room to erupt in a devastating and massive blast. It was a supernatural and tremendous explosion that filled the entire camp and even most of the sewers. Jack, who had taken cover behind the charred body of the woman, was barely alive. The woman's body was already charred and evaporated, while Jack's own body was in worse condition than before the explosion. His body had suffered severe internal and external injuries, numerous fractures, and wounds. Fortunately, his eyes and heart were not struck by any bone fragments, but his body was covered in burns and injuries. Even the bulletproof vest had practically disintegrated.

A condition like this, so pitiful, would make most people lose consciousness and die. Only a few could endure the pain and cling to life, but they would certainly not be in a sound mental state. The pain alone would make them feel as if they were in hell. However, Jack didn't convulse or show any signs of pain; he was smiling widely. A broad and eerie smile in that miserable state would make anyone who saw him think he was insane, and indeed he was.

"Ah, this pain means I'm alive! Wow, amazing! This weak body surpassed its limits. This thrill is what I wanted!" Jack shouted as he laughed.

Since the medicine here is good, I'll repeat these things in order to achieve my goal. But I would be lying if I said I didn't exaggerate a little. Perhaps if I prepare a hiding place, I can blame this body's family for everything.

When thinking about this, Jack paused his smile for a moment and thought of a wicked plan to make himself appear mentally disturbed. He didn't want to involve a nice family like that in such a simple matter. Maybe later, when things worsen, he can simply sacrifice himself. In that moment, he barely saw the system window in front of him and heard the familiar voice say, "You have completed the reward mission... Evaluating your actions..."

Ah, so it's over then. That's good. After I recover, I'll need to train with this weapon. Of course, if I'm at home, After what I've done, I might end up in prison to recover. Jack mocked himself before finding a new sentence from the system in front of him.

"The user has done well in executing the mission, so the user will receive a secondary reward."

"Huh?" Before Jack could speak, the sentences continued to appear.

"The primary reward has been obtained—the Dagger of Truth."

"The secondary rewards... the Immortal Healing Body."

Jack looked at those words in slight astonishment before summoning his own status window.

Jack looked at the two new entries before sighing and saying, "Tsk, damn this bullshit."
