After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: A Deal

"Everyone, get out."

Harlan’s hands were tucked into the pockets of his white coat, and his tone was an order that brooked no argument.

"Har—"

Theseus York tried to say something more, but Zachary Sterling pulled him out of the room.

"What are you doing here?"

Nina Jacobs blocked the way, standing in front of Naomi Summers.

’I managed to avoid everyone else’s notice, but I still couldn’t escape Harlan?’

Harlan laughed.

"You’ve got some nerve asking me."

"You’re using my things and bringing a complete stranger into my territory,"

"Shouldn’t I be the one asking you what you’re doing?"

Harlan said.

Nina Jacobs said nothing, her mind racing.

’If I killed Harlan right here, the people from the Correction Ward might not find out immediately.’

’But I could only hide it for a short time.’

’And it would interfere with my investigation plans...’

"How about we make a deal?"

Harlan spoke first.

"What kind of deal?" Nina Jacobs asked.

"I won’t report you, and I can heal her."

Harlan said, pointing to Naomi Summers on the bed.

"And the condition?"

Nina Jacobs had a feeling he was about to propose something difficult.

"Help me kill Anselm Hughes."

Harlan’s expression grew serious.

"Who is Anselm Hughes?"

It was the first time Nina Jacobs had heard the name.

"It seems you really aren’t from this base.

Anselm Hughes... everyone calls him General Hughes. He holds considerable prestige here,

and of course, his power is not to be underestimated."

Harlan’s words made Nina Jacobs suspicious.

’I originally suspected Harlan was one of General Hughes’s men.’

’But he wants to kill him?’

’General Hughes’s power is indeed considerable.’

’I remember overhearing his conversation with Mrs. White at Jared Crawford’s place.’

’General Hughes has already reached the level of an Intermediate Superpower User.’

’But...’

"Deal."

Nina Jacobs replied.

’Refusing this deal right now would clearly be unwise.’

’It’s not just for Naomi Summers’s sake.’

’It’s also for my own survival and for my plans moving forward.’

"Nina..."

Naomi Summers was touched by their conversation, but she still voiced her concern.

"General Hughes... he’s really powerful. He also has a... a Shadow Legion.

They only obey him and Mrs. White.

You can’t agree to this."

Naomi Summers said.

"How do you know that?"

It wasn’t Nina Jacobs who asked, but Harlan.

He stared intently at Naomi Summers, demanding an answer.

Terrified by his gaze, Naomi Summers stuttered, unable to form a single word.

"Who do you think she crossed to end up in this state?"

Nina Jacobs said.

"Who?"

Harlan had assumed Naomi Summers was just another one of Nina Jacobs’s friends, beaten up on someone else’s turf.

"Mrs. White."

Nina Jacobs replied.

She watched Harlan’s expression. Just as she’d expected, a flash of fury crossed his eyes when he heard the name.

It was the same look he’d had when he mentioned General Hughes through gritted teeth moments ago.

’Looks like he really isn’t on their side.’

"Leave her with me. I’ll heal her.

Speaking of which, you should be getting to the arena."

Harlan’s expression returned to normal.

Wayne Warner’s match was about to begin.
