Ian Chandler had only discovered it last night after Nina Jacobs left.
He thought it was already incredible that the Mystic Ice Core had helped him awaken another Superpower, but he never expected his space to have expanded as well.
"I’ve saved up a lot of Crystal Cores,
I’ll give them all to you."
Ian Chandler said.
He had never forgotten that Nina Jacobs liked Crystal Cores.
"Sure. Add Chester Pearson’s to the pile, and it looks like I’m making quite a profit this time."
Nina Jacobs said, half-joking.
When it came to Crystal Cores, she never turned any down.
Meanwhile, Daniel Hale and Chester Pearson were discussing the return trip to City D with the members of the Lockwood Squad.
"If that’s the case, we might as well wait a couple more days,"
Kurt Garrison suggested.
Although they had an escort team, he believed it was safer to have more people in case they ran into any unexpected situations on the road.
"I agree."
Eric Stone added.
She was willing to wait for Nina Jacobs and her group.
"Yeah, if you guys need help with anything,
just let us know."
Julian Dempsey added, patting his chest in assurance.
"I didn’t expect them to be so enthusiastic."
Daniel Hale remarked in the car heading toward the wholesale market.
Everything had been arranged.
Patrick Phelps from Rescue Team Two would lead a group to protect the survivors at the abandoned factory.
The rest of them would head to the wholesale market with the majority of the people to collect supplies.
"Why did I just hear them say that...
you’re their savior?"
Chester Pearson turned his head and asked Nina Jacobs, who was sitting in the back.
"Mm, that’s just their polite way of putting it."
Nina Jacobs answered nonchalantly.
"For real?"
Chester Pearson then looked at Pascal Paige, who had come along.
"Sorry, it’s not really my place to say."
Pascal Paige waved her hand dismissively.
’If Nina won’t talk about it, I definitely can’t go blabbing.’
"Miss Paige, I’d like to know, too."
A handsome face—aloof and noble, yet with gentle features—turned toward her.
Pascal Paige’s breath caught in her throat.
She immediately recounted the events of that night.
"..."
Nina Jacobs looked at Pascal Paige, speechless.
’Is it really okay to choose a pretty face over a friend right in front of me like that?’
"If I said I was just hexed, would you believe me?"
Pascal Paige whispered, leaning closer to Nina Jacobs.
She swore she really didn’t do it on purpose.
"So that night, it really was you..."
Ian Chandler recalled the scene he and Daniel Hale had witnessed.
’So it really was Nina Jacobs.’
’If only we’d rushed over then...’
"No wonder your mom always says you only report the good news and never the bad.
This is just too dangerous."
A cold sweat broke out on Daniel Hale as he listened.
"It only sounds more dangerous than it was.
The building would have held up until dawn, no problem."
Nina Jacobs once again analyzed the situation for them.
If it hadn’t been for Finn Hart’s appearance, the Lockwood Squad chosen by Chase Gallagher would have been perfectly safe.
"You mean that group from City A?"
Chester Pearson recalled the group they had encountered before.
’No wonder they’d found that supplies in some areas had already been taken.’
"And the Superpower User Alliance.
They’re all collecting supplies in City J."
Nina Jacobs said.
’But both of those groups probably have their own hands full now.’
Along the way, Nina Jacobs also learned from their conversation that Ian Chandler had collected a lot of supplies on this trip as well.
Including a lot of construction materials for building the base.
"There’s a transfer every day?"
Nina Jacobs was surprised, and at the same time, she marveled once again at how capable the officials in City D still were.
It turned out that Ian Chandler was the main person in charge of collecting supplies this time.
Every day, a helicopter would be sent from City D to help Ian Chandler empty the supplies from his space.
This was to ensure he could collect new supplies first thing the next day.
"I hear our team has collected the most supplies."
