Flint's Work

Tom was startled—the Demon King's men!

Without saying a word, he pulled out an automatic pistol and fired a standard burst of fire at Ra's al Ghul.

Bang bang bang...

Eight bullets struck Ra's al Ghul precisely in the heart.

Logically, even if someone was wearing a bulletproof vest, the impact would have shattered their ribs, but Ra's al Ghul remained motionless, and his clothes weren't even torn.

Tom didn't give up. He changed the magazine in 0.6 seconds and aimed at Ra's al Ghul's forehead.

Bang bang bang...

This time he saw it clearly: a black shadow blocked his way, and the bullets seemed to fall into water without causing the slightest ripple.

Ra's al Ghul stretched out his hand, and 16 Negasonic Teenage Warhead appeared in his palm. They landed on the marble slab with a clattering sound.

"Shall we continue?"

"... No need. I'm curious, when did the Demon King start monitoring me?"

Tom dropped his pistol; he knew that against Metahuman, at least a fully equipped squad was needed to pose a threat.

"From the very beginning."

"How did you manage that? I'm very careful. I always communicate by letter, the meeting locations are always different, and I always use the most inconspicuous cars. How did you manage to do it?"

Ra's al Ghul admired the merchant in front of him; he remained calm under pressure and was meticulous in his thinking, which met his master's requirements.

"Come out."

As soon as Ra's al Ghul finished speaking...

A man dressed in ninja attire appeared in the shadows behind Tom.

Tom felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. For so many days, someone had been following him.

Tom couldn't help but smile wryly; everything they had done was just child's play in the eyes of this devil.

He hasn't shown his face yet; his few henchmen can easily manipulate them.

"According to the master's wishes, we should play until the end, but you want to stop playing halfway through the game..."

"So you've come to punish this escapist."

Tom surveyed his surroundings to see if anyone else was around, and even when facing Metahuman, he did not give up the struggle.

"No, this game can end prematurely. The master's original intention was to choose the person who performed best as a subordinate."

So you chose me.

A burning desire flashed in Tom's eyes—an intense thirst for power and strength.

"Faced with a powerful enemy, giving up is also a wise choice. Sign your name." Ra's al Ghul took out the Demon Contract he had prepared in advance.

Tom didn't even glance at the words on it, staring straight into Ra's al Ghul's eyes.

"Can I also gain superpowers?!"

"Of course, you can choose from hundreds of different abilities. If you make significant contributions in the future, immortality is not impossible."

"Then I only have one choice..."

Tom pulled a dagger from his pocket, cut his finger, and used the blood as ink to quickly write his name on the contract.

"I will pledge my allegiance to His Majesty the Demon King!"

His voice was firm and loud, and his eyes were full of ambition for the future.

On the other side, Kino sensed the completion of the contract.

With Ra's al Ghul's abilities, he can accomplish anything perfectly. The company's ability to get back on track so quickly is indeed largely due to Ra's al Ghul's contributions.

Kino asked him what reward he wanted.

Ra's al Ghul's answer was that he wanted to become stronger and return to the League of Assassins.

Just Hydra sent news of the wealthy individuals' actions, so Kino instructed Ra's al Ghul to select one of them as his deputy to handle company affairs.

Kino and Venom arrived downstairs at the Demon Group.

I passed by a beach park where a burly man was building a sandcastle with a child.

The burly man was tall and imposing, yet he looked at the child with tenderness, patiently teaching her how to stack up the perfect shape.

The little girl giggled, her tiny hands constantly fiddling with the sand, her face beaming with innocent joy.

The sunlight shone on them, creating a warm and beautiful scene.

When Kino reached the beach park, Flint spotted them as well.

"Boss."

"Boss~"

The little girl also called out in a childish voice.

"Hello, Penny," Kino said with a gentle smile.

"Flint, how is little Penny's illness?"

"You're all better now, just a little weak and need some rest."

"Then go to Ra's al Ghul and apply for a Healing Potion; that way you'll recover faster."

"Boss, I didn't make any contribution."

Flint's face showed a hint of shame, and his voice was low.

He had prepared himself to be studied and dissected, but it turned out he was only examined.

They arranged a security guard job for him, where he could take his daughter to play around the Demon Tower every day, and he even had a day off every week.

With the huge salary, even Jenny's attitude towards him softened considerably.

Kino smiled, "That's normal," and pointed to the building behind him.

"Flint, you don't realize the value of your job. This is our Demon Tower. It's alright now, but in the future, we will attract the attention of countless enemies."

I can't stay here every day, so I need your abilities to protect this building, and even the city in the future."

Flint gazed at the Demon Tower, its towering structure gleaming in the sunlight, and a sense of mission he had never felt before rose within him.

"Boss, I assure you, as long as I'm alive, this building will not be destroyed by anyone."

His gaze was firm, and his tone was resolute.

Okay, I believe you.

Kino patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.

Just as Flint's fighting spirit was ignited, he heard his daughter scream behind him.

I quickly turned around and saw the Boss Lady cuddling her daughter.

Little Penny giggled as her skin was tickled.

Frank relaxed, then switched to the man and punched him into a pulp.

Kino said, "Flint, Penny's old enough to go to school, it's not good for her to always be around you and not interact with other kids her age."

"Yeah, I kept putting it off because I was sick, but now that I'm better, I'm worried about being bullied at school."

Flint's face showed worry; he himself had experienced bullying and knew the pain it caused.

"Then he'll be placed in the same class as my goddaughter."

"I'll do whatever the boss says."

Flint had always trusted his boss, knowing that his decisions were always well-considered and for everyone's benefit.

After chatting for a bit about what to prepare for school, Kino left with Venom.

Goodbye, Penny.

Goodbye, Venom ~

Flint held his daughter, watching her wave goodbye with reluctance, and knew in his heart that his daughter needed friends her own age.

"Penny, do you want to go to school?"

"Dad, what is going to school?"

"It's a place where you can make friends and have fun together."

"Then I want to go to school, Dad."

Little Penny blinked her big eyes and said expectantly.

Flint affectionately patted her head and smiled, saying, "Then Daddy will prepare it for you right away."
