Apparently, Mr. and Mrs. Grant had been furious when they heard the free meal delivery service was being canceled and had even gotten into a fight with one of the delivery staff.
Brawls were a daily occurrence in the shelter, so the incident normally wouldn’t have escalated.
But as it turned out, that particular delivery person was the daughter of the head of the logistics department.
Soon, someone pointed out that since Liam Grant was no longer the captain of the rescue squad, he should have to give up the family quarters that had been assigned to him.
"There’s been so much going on lately that no one paid any mind to it. But now that someone has brought it up, according to the regulations, they have to move out."
Daniel Hale said.
This was likely one of the reasons Liam Grant was so desperate to be reinstated.
"So that’s why. But he’s come to the wrong person."
Nina Jacobs was letting Liam Grant live for now, but only so she could figure out what happened in her past life.
She had no intention of letting him have an easy time.
"But why him, of all people?"
Nina had always wondered why that woman, Melody Barron, refused to give up on Liam Grant.
In her past life, they’d had no dealings with Melody Barron.
"Melody Barron isn’t really interested in him. The one she’s after is probably Simon Abbott, but unfortunately, his whereabouts are unknown."
Daniel Hale replied.
Simon Abbott wasn’t one to fight for the spotlight, but he had masterminded many of Melody Barron’s schemes.
If it hadn’t been for Daniel Hale suddenly awakening a Spiritual Element Superpower, all her previous schemes might very well have succeeded.
"I see."
Nina didn’t believe Simon Abbott was dead, either.
To her, the idea that Simon Abbott had lured away zombies for someone else was simply unbelievable.
And then there was that pristine room.
It all fueled her suspicions.
’What if Simon Abbott did all of this intentionally?’
’And what was the connection between them and the Superpower User Alliance?’
Nina felt like she was overlooking something important.
But she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
She decided to stop thinking about it.
Sherry Renner returned very late.
She was still fuming when she got back.
"I’m so pissed! They still want to take Cole Dempsey away? I stood guard there all day. No one is getting him out of there."
Apparently, as soon as Sherry Renner had heard that people from the Superpower User Alliance had arrived, she had immediately gone to find out what was happening.
When she heard they had specifically asked to take Cole Dempsey, she went straight to where he was being held.
The staff at the interrogation rooms were fairly courteous to her after learning she would soon be a colleague in the Enforcement Bureau.
It was just that the closed-door meeting between Justin Lawson and the Alliance still hadn’t ended.
So she had come back.
"Getting him out of there would be a death sentence," Nina Jacobs said after listening.
Cole Dempsey was probably the last person who wanted to be let out right now.
After all, he had ratted out everyone at all their strongholds.
"That’s true, but what if he manages to live a comfortable life after this? He’s responsible for so many deaths," Sherry Renner said.
"Lawson may have made a concession by agreeing to negotiate, but he won’t let them just take away a key figure. You can rest assured about that."
Daniel Hale said.
The only question was when this closed-door meeting would finally end.
Back in her room, Nina Jacobs took out the Crystal Cores she had earned from selling supplies that day.
She separated the Fire Element Crystal Cores from the rest, then placed the Superpower Energy Stone, which had already turned gray, among the remaining Crystal Cores to let it absorb their energy.
She had received a good number of Crystal Cores from the day’s trades.
Moreover, her System Experience Points had increased by over 1,000.
It was just that she had too many supplies in her system’s inventory.
She had been selling them for days, but it looked like she had barely made a dent.
"If only I could trade directly with the shelter," Nina Jacobs muttered.
Her original plan had been to make a trip to City J after Daniel Hale awakened his Superpower.
There had to be plenty of supplies left to be salvaged there—in other words, plenty of scavenging missions.
