During this time, Cordelia and the others had also gathered quite a bit of information.
Lornwood Base was in the process of building a water pipe system that would service the entire base.
This was one of the reasons many people still held out hope for the base.
If the base was building water pipes, then one day, they would surely have a water supply.
But if that was the case, why control the water from the very beginning?
They had even captured all the Water Element Superpower Users.
They must be trying to achieve something through the water.
"You’re right! You’re right!"
Harlan shot to his feet.
He had been plagued by many doubts lately.
Nina Jacobs’s few words seemed to have unraveled them all.
"Even though I think this is absurd..."
"...it makes sense."
Reinhard Caldwell’s hand trembled slightly as he lifted his cup.
Grim’s expression was also tinged with anger. "Then we have to kill Anselm Hughes as soon as possible."
Nina Jacobs, however, disagreed.
"That’s not the best solution. It could very well make things worse."
"Do you have a plan?"
Harlan asked expectantly.
To his disappointment, Nina Jacobs shook her head.
"I’ve just made some guesses based on what I’ve seen lately. I don’t have a counter-plan. Of course, you’re free to have other suspicions."
Nina Jacobs’s brow relaxed a little. She looked at the three of them and added, "I think if you all have the means, you could try collaborating with Tomorrow Base first. After all, they’re short on people over there."
Grim held a certain amount of prestige among the base guards.
And Reinhard Caldwell had even been a captain of the guards once.
That was something she had never expected.
"Tomorrow Base?"
Reinhard Caldwell exchanged a look with the other two.
’If that’s the case,’ he thought, ’I need to send some people to Tomorrow Base to check out the situation as soon as possible.’
...
That afternoon, Nina Jacobs heard the news of General Hughes’s return.
However, it seemed he didn’t have the energy to look into whether Lexy was a Hydrokinetic Cat.
Because he was severely injured.
Upon hearing this news, Nina Jacobs became very curious about what had happened to General Hughes.
It seemed others had come to the base with the general, but they were all refusing visitors.
So, Nina Jacobs activated her "Five Senses Enhancement" and focused it on General Hughes’s residence.
"...Who the hell leaked the news that Hughes was seriously injured? If certain people in the base find out and try to make an issue of it, what do we do?"
Arcadia White was reprimanding her subordinates.
"Sis, don’t scare Julia. Your husband and you have a good reputation in the base. What kind of trouble could those people stir up? Besides, with my Healer here, he’ll recover in no time."
A man in the courtyard spoke while holding the little girl, Julia Hughes, in his arms.
Arcadia White sighed. "I’m just worried about the ’what ifs.’ The base hasn’t been very peaceful lately, and now this Tomorrow Base has popped up. I’ve heard a lot of people have gone there in the last couple of days."
"Tomorrow Base..."
The man said through gritted teeth.
"What is it, Ambrose? Did you guys also..." Arcadia White immediately dismissed everyone in the courtyard, then turned and walked over to ask.
’Ambrose White?’
Sitting in her residence, Nina Jacobs listened with great interest.
But what Ambrose White said next stunned her.
