After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Welcoming Banquet

Silas Crowley gleefully followed Nina Jacobs out.

He hadn’t expected her to lead him into a secure conference room.

Closing the doors and windows wasn’t enough. Nina even conjured a Diamond Sand Cover inside the room.

"Wha-what’s wrong?"

Silas Crowley couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

’This is the first time I’ve ever seen Nina this serious.’

"I didn’t realize you were part of the Crowley Group,"

Nina said, motioning for Silas to sit anywhere he liked before handing him a can of coffee.

’So that’s what this is about.’

Silas Crowley said a little sheepishly, "The Crowley Group is nothing special, and it’s so far from here..."

"I’m quite fond of the Crowley Group,

and your sister and the others. They’re all good-hearted people."

Silas finally relaxed upon hearing Nina’s words.

"This time, I went with General Hughes to a place called Whittaker Town. It was the first time I’d ever heard of the White Family.

"Their Puppetry Technique is dark and sinister. Arcadia White used it to control Evander Langdon."

Back at Lornwood Base, although Silas, Cordelia, and the others were among the last to leave, they knew nothing about the White Family.

Much less the Puppetry Technique.

It took Silas a long time to process the shocking story Nina had just laid out.

"You just mentioned the Whites of the Snowlands," 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Nina said.

"What I want to ask you is, is the Crowley Group the same as the Mornfell Crowley Family?

And... does the Crowley Family have any connection to the Mystic Sect?"

Nina’s question took Silas completely by surprise.

"You know about the Mystic Sect?"

He thought only people from Ancient Martial Clans like his knew about things ordinary people didn’t.

"I’m asking you directly because we’re friends, right?"

Nina asked.

’According to the system, his favorability rating for me is 90.’

’That’s a considerably high score.’

’That’s why I felt I could ask him so directly.’

’Based on my observations, Silas doesn’t have a manipulative bone in his body.’

"Our Crowley Group is indeed the Mornfell Crowley Family,

but we have nothing to do with the Mystic Sect. To be more precise, we’re enemies."

Silas replied after a moment of thought.

"Then do you know about the Mystic Sect’s size and strength? And what is it they’re after?"

Nina asked.

Silas thought for a moment before shaking his head in regret.

"I’m afraid only my grandfather would know. He never let us get involved with any of that, saying they followed a corrupt path."

Even my sister, Audrey, mostly just handles the family’s business affairs.

"Our Crowley Group specializes in shipbuilding, drones, aerial equipment, and helicopter assembly. Unlike the families in the Mystic Sect, the Crowley Family integrated into modern society long ago and established our own corporation.

The younger generations of the Crowley Family are free to pursue their own ambitions in any field. Take me, for example—I entered a completely unrelated industry, and no one in the family stood in my way.

All I know is that most of the families in the Mystic Sect are stubborn and antiquated. Before the apocalypse, some of them were still just living off their ancestors’ legacy. It’s ridiculous, really."

Silas explained to Nina, recalling what little he knew.

"But how did you find out about the Mystic Sect’s existence?"

Silas asked, curious.

’Could Nina be from an Ancient Martial Clan too?’

Nina shook her head. "I ran into them back in Veridia. All I know is that they seemed to be looking for someone. That, combined with the White Family’s bizarre techniques, just made me curious."
