After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Give an Explanation

"Of course. You only trust people who are weaker than you, don’t you?"

Nina Jacobs’s Diamond Sand Spikes rained down on Anselm Hughes relentlessly.

Thinking back on her plan over the past few days, she realized Cordelia and the others’ original identities in Lornwood Base had been a huge convenience.

Ms. Carter’s suspicion back in the correction bay had also given her the perfect opportunity.

But ultimately, it was all because Anselm Hughes and the Whites were far too confident.

Anselm Hughes defended himself nonstop, realizing he didn’t stand a chance of fighting back against Nina Jacobs.

"The Puppetry Technique... just how did you break free from it?"

Anselm Hughes asked.

A Fireball struck his shoulder, instantly scorching flesh and bone.

"Trying to distract me so you can use poison?"

Nina Jacobs glanced at the fallen vial. ’Anselm Hughes should hate my guts right now, not be asking me so many questions.’

’The questions are just a ploy to make me lower my guard.’

"Too bad you’ve already played all your cards."

Nina Jacobs activated her Fire Element Superpower, sending several Fire Serpents surging toward Anselm Hughes.

BAM!

Unable to dodge in time, Anselm Hughes yanked Cecily Wells, who was standing beside him, into the path of the attack.

The raging flames instantly engulfed Cecily Wells.

"So your whole family... is cut from the same cloth."

As Cecily Wells’s eyes closed for the last time, she remembered Julia Hughes’s malicious smile.

’She should have realized it back then. Anselm Hughes and Julia Hughes are the same kind of people...’

Anselm Hughes didn’t get far before a Stone Spike suddenly shot up from the ground, tripping him.

Just as expected, a moment later, a Thorny Vine wrapped around his ankle.

"Holly, don’t kill him yet,"

Nina Jacobs said, stopping her.

"Why not?"

Holly Morgan asked, confused.

"Because everyone deserves an explanation."

Nina Jacobs replied.

What happened at Lornwood Base was too complicated. If Tomorrow Base wanted to clear its name, they had to publicly expose Anselm Hughes as the true culprit.

"I also owe everyone an explanation."

Evander Langdon had also walked over.

Nina Jacobs had actually noticed Evander Langdon a moment ago. She hadn’t expected him to wake up at such a perfect time.

Moreover, he looked no different from a normal person.

Perhaps Harlan’s treatment had also had a positive effect.

「Before the gates of Tomorrow Base.」

Anselm Hughes was imprisoned inside a cage made of Diamond Sand.

It was a cage specially made by Nina Jacobs, surrounded by a sand shield to prevent Anselm Hughes, a Gold Element Superpower user, from using his abilities.

"Everyone, the conflict between Lornwood Base and Tomorrow Base has been settled. From this day forward, Lornwood Base will be no more."

Nina Jacobs stood beneath the gates of Tomorrow Base, speaking calmly to the tens of thousands of people before her.

The crowd immediately erupted into discussion. Some cheered, while others were worried.

They were worried that Tomorrow Base would just become the next Lornwood Base.

"Today’s events will not affect the existing systems of Tomorrow Base. We hope to coexist peacefully with everyone in the base."

After Nina Jacobs finished speaking, many people breathed a temporary sigh of relief.

"However, regarding Lornwood Base’s slanderous rumors, we must also issue a clarification."

Nina Jacobs had Cordelia bring out stacks of investigation reports and evidence, which were then projected by a machine for all to see.

She then handed the floor to Felix Finch:
