After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Bluffing

It was only then that Nina Jacobs noticed another person was there.

It was a middle-aged man, who was currently using a Wind Ball to fend off a scalpel.

The scalpel was caught inside the Wind Ball, but it looked as if it was about to shatter it.

The man smiled at Nina and said politely,

"Hello, I’m Reinhard Caldwell, the head of Team 4."

"Nina Jacobs. Wayne Warner."

Nina remembered the guard, Wolfgang Stone, saying that the head of Team 4 was a smiling tiger.

So, after hearing his identity, she kept her distance from him.

Seeing this, Harlan retracted his Superpower with satisfaction.

"Team 1 is a tough place. You’re always welcome on my team."

Reinhard Caldwell said this with a smile and left.

"The one on the stage, is he your friend? Did you come in here for him?" Harlan asked.

"Is there a problem with that?"

Nina Jacobs neither confirmed nor denied it.

There were many things she was willing to do, as long as they didn’t conflict with her own objectives.

For example, rescuing Tobin.

Besides, the reason she came in couldn’t stand up to scrutiny. Anyone who bothered to investigate would find out she had entered under a false identity.

It was better to just own this motive.

"Oh, my. A loyal one. I like that.

How about I help your friend win this match?"

Harlan looked at the fighting arena, where the match had already begun. At that moment, Nina’s friend seemed to be at a disadvantage.

"No need. He can win," Nina Jacobs replied.

Tobin’s moves were just reserved, but that didn’t mean they weren’t lethal.

Besides, before Tobin went with Mirelle Keller to pick people up from Pyralia, she had given him a Diamond Sand Bracelet.

That bracelet could be controlled by Tobin’s Earth Element Superpower and could significantly increase his damage output.

And Tobin had kept that bracelet securely on his arm ever since.

While everyone around them was staring at the fighting arena, Nina Jacobs had already activated her Five Senses Enhancement.

Just as Jared Crawford had said, there was indeed an incongruous structure above the arena.

It looked like a separate room.

Several flights of stone stairs arched up to support the room, which presided over the clamor below, completely out of place.

Nina focused all her attention on it, but she couldn’t hear any sound coming from inside.

She couldn’t even be sure if anyone was in there.

Nina pointed to it and ventured, "What is that place?"

Harlan glanced at it just once before his gaze seemed to be drawn back to the arena. His tone, however, was filled with a chilling coldness:

"Don’t ask what you’re not supposed to ask.

Those who know too much have a way of becoming my specimens."

’Looks like he’s not going to talk.’

Nina wasn’t particularly bothered.

From not too far away came bursts of curses and insults from the crowd.

Nina wasn’t surprised, because Tobin was about to win.

Several rings of stone clamped tightly around his opponent, but Tobin withdrew the Stone Sword in his hand.

"Surrender, and I won’t kill you," Tobin said.

He wasn’t a bloodthirsty person by nature.

But the onlookers weren’t having it.

The air was filled with shouts of "Kill him!", which made Tobin’s brows furrow.

His opponent, Elias Lewis, was called Chuck because he had once killed three people in a row and skewered their bodies together.

That was how he got the nickname "Chuck."

Elias Lewis was no saint, but Tobin had no personal grudge against him.

Thinking this, Tobin still chose not to kill his opponent.

Nina noticed that even though there was a referee in the arena, he was hesitating to announce the winner, despite Chuck having already conceded defeat.

"Kill him, you coward! You don’t even have the guts to kill!" someone shouted.

"Yeah! I was finally about to win big on this round! Believe it or not, I’ll kill you later!"

"Kill Elias Lewis! Kill him!"

"..."
