After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Making Trouble

Actually, Daniel Hale had been keeping an eye on Wayne Abbott’s team.

He had offered his help several times after learning about their ordeal, but he could only do so much for them.

"If they’re that strong, why can’t they make a comeback?"

Nina Jacobs asked, confused.

She had heard from Chase Gallagher that they were all quite powerful, so she had always assumed they would get through that crisis.

"They just can’t overcome the constant ostracism.

Even when they go out to kill zombies, they’re always getting sabotaged.

It’s so dangerous out there, and getting stabbed in the back is the last thing you want.

They wanted to wait for things to blow over before going out again, but..."

Wayne Abbott and his team hadn’t given up, nor did they stoop to an eye for an eye. After all, he found their enemies’ petty tactics of sabotage and exclusion beneath contempt.

"I see."

No wonder Daniel Hale was willing to give them Gold.

But it seemed they weren’t willing to accept it.

"Now that’s a real man."

Leo Hale said with admiration.

That evening, just as Nina Jacobs was finishing dinner at home, a commotion erupted outside.

Treasure just perked up its ears, listening to the noise without barking.

"Sounds like they’re here for me,"

Nina Jacobs said.

Walsh also came out of the kitchen. He had been washing dishes. He asked:

"Boss, should I call for backup?

Ms. Stone’s team is in charge of this sort of thing."

The Ms. Stone he was talking about was Eric Stone of the security team.

"No need. I’ll go take a look first."

Nina Jacobs had actually already overheard the gist of it.

She hadn’t expected that the young woman from when she first came to the base to look at houses would show up again.

This time, Nerissa Sutton had brought a few helpers.

It looked like a mix of men and women.

"...See, I told you! Housing is tight in the base right now,

and this house has been empty the whole time. Isn’t that just being a dog in the manger?"

Ever since she left with Hugo Crawford last time, Nerissa Sutton had been fuming.

She had wanted to rent the house right next to Nina Jacobs, but to her surprise, Nina had rented all three buildings.

Seeing that one of the houses remained empty, she came up with this scheme.

Housing was already scarce in City D Base. Sure enough, as she brought it up, passersby started looking on with disapproval.

"That’s right. It’s such a waste.

We may not have the money to rent it, but plenty of other people do."

"Even someone with connections shouldn’t be allowed to do this. It’s a shame to leave such a nice house empty."

"Are you saying all three houses belong to one person?"

"..."

Hearing everyone’s comments, Nerissa Sutton felt even more energized.

"Of course she has connections.

Never mind her own strength; her family member is a Spiritual Element Superpower User.

What do they call that? When one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Nerissa Sutton covered her mouth and snickered.

But in the next second, someone viciously kicked her in the lower back.

"AHH!!"

With a bloodcurdling scream, Nerissa Sutton went down face-first.

Everyone stared, stunned, at Nerissa Sutton, who couldn’t even get back up.

"Nerissa!"

A companion at her side hurried to help her up, only to see that Nerissa Sutton’s face was already covered in blood.

"Who do you think you are? Are you insane?!"

Crystal Young stared at Nina Jacobs in disbelief.

It was evening now. The girl’s long, dark hair cascaded down her back. Though she had struck with ruthless force, her black eyes were exceptionally calm.

As if she had just kicked a small pebble.

Leo Hale scoffed. "You’re the ones who are insane. You’re causing a scene at someone else’s front door. What’s wrong with us kicking a rabid dog?"

"We were just stating the facts. You can’t just go around hitting people,"

a male companion quickly interjected, seeing that Nerissa Sutton was in too much pain to speak.

"Isn’t it true that your house is sitting empty?

Nerissa just didn’t want it to go to waste. What did she do wrong?"

Crystal Young said, gritting her teeth.

Nerissa Sutton had told them that if they could secure this house, money wouldn’t be an issue, and Crystal could even live there with her for free.

"Who said?"
