After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Standing Up for Her

Nina Jacobs had more important things to do.

After Daniel Hale was called to a meeting in the afternoon, Nina Jacobs used the "First Superpower Card" on him.

However, from her observation, Daniel Hale hadn’t noticed anything unusual about himself by the time he returned.

"They’ve started submitting proposals for the new base’s location. Someone also brought you up at the meeting today."

Daniel Hale said during dinner.

"It’s Nina’s first day back. Why would anyone bring her up?"

Vera Coleman immediately grew wary upon hearing this.

"It wasn’t anything bad."

Daniel Hale hadn’t expected that particular person to speak up for them.

It turned out that during the meeting, Sheldon Holden had brought up the matter of Liam Grant’s injuries.

He argued that Liam Grant hadn’t used his full strength, that he was going easy on a female Superpower User, and she had exploited the opening.

Probably because he had already gotten the others on his side, quite a few people voiced their agreement.

Unexpectedly, Samson Thorne from the command war zone shot him down with a single sentence.

"Samson Thorne?"

Nina Jacobs seemed to recall the name.

She had seen that name on the list of casualties at the City D Base.

It seemed he had an accident on his way back to the command war zone to report after the City D Base was completed.

"He said, ’If you’re not good enough, stop making excuses. There’s no shame in losing to a female Superpower User. The shameful thing is refusing to admit you lost.’"

The atmosphere was quite awkward after Samson Thorne finished speaking.

Fortunately, Liam Grant himself wasn’t present. Otherwise, he would have been so ashamed he’d want to crawl into a hole.

"Well said! Now that’s what you call having class."

Leo Hale practically wanted to give the man a round of applause.

"He also said we should focus on cultivating talented Superpower Users like Nina Jacobs. If you’re interested, you can take up a position at the new base anytime."

Daniel Hale said with a smile.

Nina Jacobs had brought him a lot of credit at the meeting today.

Of course, he was also proud of her.

"In that case, Nina, why don’t you consider it?"

Vera Coleman was still a little hopeful that Nina would agree.

However, Nina Jacobs shook her head. "I have no plans for that."

Her answer was what everyone had expected.

Vera Coleman sighed softly and said helplessly, "I knew it."

「Early the next morning.」

A commotion erupted outside the door, followed immediately by someone banging loudly on it.

"See? I told you trouble was coming for you."

Sherry Renner, who had just woken up, heard the noise and immediately poked her head out.

The soundproofing in the temporary suite was mediocre, so everyone inside could hear the curses from outside:

"You dare to hit someone but not show your face? My son is a hero who saves people! Is this any way to treat a hero?"

"Exactly! My son was kind enough to go easy on you, but you beat him up like that! Do you have any conscience?!"

"I heard you’re just bitter because my brother broke up with you. Are you that desperate to be my sister-in-law? I think you’re just a woman nobody wants!"

"..."

The three people outside kept cursing, and Leo Hale, furious, moved to open the door.

But Nina Jacobs stopped him.

"Let them continue," Nina Jacobs said.

"How can they twist the truth like that? Aren’t you going to yell back?"

Leo Hale gestured toward the door.

’Nina has so much self-control!’

"If we ignore them, someone else will deal with it," Nina Jacobs said unhurriedly.

Justin Lawson and Myra Lawson lived diagonally across from them; there was no way they couldn’t hear the commotion.

A crowd must have already gathered outside to watch.

The video now playing had already attracted a large crowd of survivors. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
