Chapter 276
'A mission? To Kiten Town? My town?
Will I finally get the chance to see Mum and Jesse again?'
The thought struck Grey like a lightning bolt to the heart, and for the first time in a while, warmth surged through his chest.
"Yes, Grey. It's an escort mission to Kiten Town, and I want you on it."
Captain Amir's voice pulled him back to reality, his tone firm yet laced with a knowing smile as he eyed Grey's stiffened back. "So? You in?"
Grey turned with controlled urgency, his footsteps light but quick. A soft smile spread across his lips—a rare, unguarded one. "Say no more," he replied. "Thank you."
"I thought you didn't want to participate in any missions?" Greg asked, puzzled.
"Kiten Town is where Grey's from," Vince whispered, leaning toward the others, his voice barely audible. "I think the captain figured Grey misses his family… and decided to cut him some slack."
