Unstoppable Unforgiven (Shermaine and Joshua)

hapter 622

A purple mecha was parked on the rooftop, glistening under the moonlight. All was quiet then, and the city had fallen asleep.

Henry took his coat and draped it over the sleeping Shirley. Then he walked to the other seat of the mecha and sat down. He flattened the backrest and slept till dawn.

When Henry woke up, the sky outside was bright.

The coat that had covered Shirley the night before

now on him, and the seat next to him was empty. Henry felt a little

annoyed that Shirley had left without a word after waking up.

Henry thought of going out for a smoke, so he opened the cabin door. A gentle breeze blew towards him, carrying the freshness of all things coming back to life.

Then he found that Shirley had not left. She was standing on the rooftop watching the sunrise. Her blonde hair fluttered in the wind, looking very beautiful.

The man looked extremely charming in the sunlight. Though she was quite tall, she was still a head shorter than Henry and a bit thin.

Shirley turned around, raised her eyebrows, and smiled at him. “Morning.”

Henry also said good morning to her, his voice a little hoarse from just waking up. He stood beside her, then lit a cigarette. He asked, “Does your head hurt?”

Shirley said, “A little.” This slight pain was totally bearable compared to when she first woke up earlier.

Henry smiled. “How about your arm?”

Shirley looked up at it. “It’s okay. I’ll go find the doctor to change the dressing later.”

Henry took a puff of his cigarette, then lazily exhaled a white cloud of smoke. The smoke rose with the wind and gradually dissipated.

She asked, “When do you plan to leave?”

“Probably today.” There was nothing left for Henry to do here.

Learning that he was leaving so soon, Shirley suddenly felt a little down. This man was quite interesting. Once he left this time, there was no telling when they would meet again. She nodded without trying to keep him. She asked, “Is thi

cigarette good?”

Henry looked at the cigarette in his hand, then held out the pack. “You can try it.”

Shirley had never seen this brand before. It seemed not to exist in her world. She shook her head. She just wanted a sip, not a whole cigarette. So she took the one Henry had smoked and took a puff. Henry froze for a moment.

The cigarette tasted okay, but she choked. Watching her cough so hard, Henry couldn’t help but laugh. He had thought

she was an old smoker. Then he went back into the mecha and got her a bottle of mineral water.

Shirley took the water and gulped it down. After that, the uncomfortable feeling eased. She said to Henry, “It tastes really

bad.”

Her eyes were a little red from coughing which gave her face a seductive look. That handsome face suddenly took on a

feminine beauty.

Henry laughed, “You’re right about that.”

Shirley seriously advised, “You should smoke less, too. You’re already frigid. If you smoke too much of this stuff, you might not even be able to get an erection.”

Henry was speechless. He really wanted to prove to her right then that he was not impotent, just to make her stop mocking him.

He ruffled her hair and said, “Whether I’m frigid or not has nothing to do

Vou. Anyway, I’m not going to fuck you.”

Faced with such vulgar words, Shirley just raised her eyebrows. They seemed to have bickered about this topic last night. She kept a straight face and said, “Even if you wanted to, you couldn’t.”

Henry let out a cold laugh, annoyed by her. He had no mood to smoke anymore, so he put out the cigarette right away.

Shirley narrowed her eyes. “Did you mess up my hair?”

Henry glanced at her. Her smooth, golden, long hair was indeed a bit messy from his rubbing. He said without the slightest guilt, “Why does a guy like you keep such long hair?”

She was not a guy, but Shirley didn’t want to say that. If she did, Henry might keep his distance from her, so being mistaken for a guy was fine.

Shirley put the black string on her wrist into his hand. “Tie it up for me.” She ordered Henry confidently, without the least bit of embarrassment. Yet her imperious command didn’t make him dislike her.

“Why?” Henry asked with a smile.

Shirley said, “I don’t know how.” noveldrama

Henry held the small black rubber band and asked, “Then who tied your hair for you before?”

“I don’t know.” Shirley added, “There was a buddy in the barracks who tied it for me every day.”

Henry couldn’t believe that Shirley, who was so good at fighting, didn’t know how to tie her hair.

He lifted her golden, long hair and studied it for a long time. Then he found that tying hair was indeed a bit tricky. It took him about seven or eight minutes to get it done, and it still looked messy.

Shirley didn’t mind much. “Since you’re leaving today, how about treating me to breakfast before you go?”

Henry knew she had no money, so he said, “You go wash up and brush your teeth first.” He walked towards the mecha and said, “Get in.”

Damien and Jasmine took Thomas back to Baykeep.

When Thomas opened his eyes, he found that Gracie and George were not there. Then he looked around and realized he seemed to be home. He pouted, extremely sad, and started crying again.)

Jasmine had expected his tears. It was

for Thomas to cry at home after waking up than to start crying on the way

back. Jasmine began to comfort Thomas.

As for Damien, after returning, he went to the Eagle Assassins first to find out about the recent situation in the Kingdom of Xyperia.

After going out for a while, he learned that the tier mutant and Shirley were now missing.

Damien asked Dave to inform Shermaine of this situation. Dave was not in a hurry to leave. Every time it came back, it

needed to replenish some aura stones.

It found the mutants from the Kingdom of Xyperia quite annoying, too. The spatial rift connected to another planet and couldn’t be repaired.

As a Nebula Beast, Dave planned to let the Kingdom of Xyperia solve this trouble on its own. If they hadn’t researched time travel in the first place, there wouldn’t be this kind of trouble.

After calming Thomas down, Jasmine also went to handle official business. There was a lot of backlogged work on his

hands.

At this moment, Damien called Henry and asked, “What’s the situation with Her Highness?”

Henry replied, “I can’t track Edison.” That man was so insane that he wanted to imprison Shirley to force her to be with him. Henry thought this method was extremely despicable.

However, Shirley had a tough character. Edison would never be able to force her to submit. Henry hoped she could find a way to escape and return to the country.

Yet, he had been looking for Shirley for so long with no result. During this time, those old guys who wanted to take power had been causing trouble. Though the political enemies‘ plots had all been suppressed, he couldn’t hold on much longer.

On the side, Shirley was having breakfast. When she heard the name Edison, she frowned, then felt extreme disgust, and her head started to ache faintly.

Henry noticed her odd expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Shirley shook her head. “I hit my head earlier. It’s a little sore now.”

Henry said, “You can ask the doctor about it when changing dressing.”

Shirley nodded.

Her voice was rather neutral. Damien asked Henry, “Is the “meone beside you?”

Henry replied, “Yeah. He’s kind of my brother.”

Damien chuckled and said, “You don’t look for a girlfriend, but you’ve adopted a brother here with us?”

Henry said casually, “Whatever. I gotta go. I’m having breakfast.” He had stayed here for two years but hadn’t found a woman he liked.

Or rather, except for Shirley. She was his type, but he couldn’t pursue her for the time being.

After breakfast, Henry accompanied Shirley to the infirmary to take care of the wound on her arm. He reminded her, “Do you want to ask the doctor about your headache?”

Shirley thought about it and said, “No. The doctor said before that there’s nothing serious. I just lost a little memory.”

Henry raised his eyebrows. “You also lost your memory?”

“Yeah,” Shirley said.

“What happened?” Henry asked.

Shirley said without hesitation, “I don’t know. I can’t remember.”

After getting this answer, Henry didn’t ask any more.

Henry left in the afternoon, and Shirley saw him off. When she returned to the military camp, the regiment commander

called her over.

The regiment commander had long wanted to talk to her, but she had been with Henry all the time and didn’t come back last night. So when she got back to the camp, he found her right away.

Shirley sat down in his office. The regiment commander felt a sense of pressure, as if she were the leader.

He cleared his throat. “Vivianus, I’ve seen the video of you piloting the fighter last night. You’re so skilled. Did someone teach you?”

Shirley thought about it and said, “I lost my memory before coming to Aider.”

The regiment commander said, “Here’s the thing. I think it’s a waste for someone with your ability to stay here. There’s an opportunity right now for you to go to Norham City and join the Black Riders. Would you like that?”

Norham City was where the real war was raging. That supreme–tier mutant was too powerful, and the excellent stationed there had suffered heavy casualties, so they were in need of reinforcements.

Shirley didn’t mind. Instead, she felt that going to Norham City should be her mission. She was about to agree when she suddenly felt some movement outside. The next second, Henry came in from outside.

Shirley froze for a moment and asked, “Why are you back?”

Henry walked in and said directly, “I’ll explain on the way. Vivianus, you’re coming with me to Norham City.”
