Chapter 1156

After Aria left, Richard looked at Bruce kindly. There was unconcealable admiration and

gratification in Richard’s eyes, as well as a complicated light that he wanted to say

something but hesitated.

Bruce felt goosebumps all over his body. He could not help but ask in a low voice. “Mr.

Thompson, what do you want to say to me?”

Richard came back to his senses and said with a smile, “Bruce, you completed this mission

very well. I’m very gratified. You’re the best talent I’ve met…”

“Mr. Thompson, you flatter me.” Bruce lowered his eyes and hid the heaviness in them.

“Bruce, let’s sit down and talk! There’s no need to be so reserved.” As he spoke, Richard

personally poured a cup of coffee for Bruce and handed it to him affectionately.

Seeing this, Bruce took it cautiously. “Thank you, Mr. Thompson.”

In this world, Bruce would probably only be so reserved and uneasy in front of Richard, like

a primary school student facing a teacher.

“You’re welcome. Sit down and talk.”

“Uh, what do you think about the organization recently? Feel free to tell me!”

When Bruce heard this, he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. From his

attitude, Richard was probably going to ask Bruce to stay again.

“Mr. Thompson, I’ve mentioned it to you before. After completing the mission, I want to

apply to quit the organization… You’ve promised before that. I hope you can approve it.”

When Richard heard this, his hand that was holding the cup froze in midair. After

pondering for a while, he laughed heartily.

“Bruce, I’m retiring next year.”

Bruce’s heart skipped a beat.

Richard continued, “I told you before that you’re the successor I’ve nurtured.

“When I retire, I want you to take my place.”

When Bruce heard this, his entire body tensed up and he immediately stood up. “Mr.

Thompson, I really can’t do it.

“Moreover, my health situation doesn’t allow me to do so now. I just want to rest well and

spend the rest of my life with my family…”

Richard added, “I know. I know what you’re thinking. You don’t have to be in a hurry to

reject me.

“I also know that something has happened to Mrs. Everett. You want some time to

accompany your family

Bruce’s heart skipped a beat.

“It’s what you should do. A good man should protect his country.

“First there is a country, then there is a family. Over the years, you have completed every

task very well. There are many impossible tasks that you have completed very well.”

Richard did not hide his admiration for Bruce.

Indeed, Bruce’s excellence had greatly exceeded Richard’s expectations including this

mission. It was almost impossible to complete.

However, not only did Bruce complete it, but he also shocked the world. The destruction of

District 17 was simply satisfying. This was the first time Melta had suffered such a huge

loss. It could be considered as venting the anger of the world.

Such a talent was destined to be a legend and could not be buried.

“Thank you for years of teaching and nurturing, Mr. Thompson.”

“I’m very grateful, Mr. Thompson. You’re my teacher. Even if I leave the organization,

you’ll always be the person I respect the most.”

Richard smiled kindly and patted Bruce’s shoulder. “Bruce, to tell you the truth, the

country really needs a talent like you.

“At the moment, I’ve already submitted your information to the superiors. The superiors

have already appointed you to take over the position of deputy director. Do you know

what this means?”

When Bruce heard this, his scalp went numb, and he immediately refused. “I really can’t.

Please understand, Mr. Thompson.”

The higher ups had appointed Bruce as the deputy director, which meant that in the

future, they would hand over the entire National Defense Bureau to him.

Every director needed to be the deputy director first before taking over National Defense

Bureau. Richard was also promoted from the position of deputy director to director.

However, Bruce had made up his mind. He just wanted to return to his family and live the

life of an ordinary person.

“You don’t have to be in such a hurry to decline. I can give you an indefinite leave.

“And National Defense Bureau will always keep your position. You can come back

anytime.”

“Mr. Thompson, I… I really can’t do it. Please approve my withdrawal from the

organization.” Bruce frowned, and his heart was a mess.
