After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Learned Helplessness

After reading the entire letter, she finally understood the source of the unease she’d felt over the past few days.

The Hughes Family Headquarters also had its eyes on the White Family.

Not just for the White Family’s supplies, but more importantly, for their Puppetry Technique.

Ms. Carter was the key liaison between the Hughes Family Headquarters and Anselm Hughes.

And once all the supplies were transferred to Whittaker Town, that was when Anselm Hughes would begin his gradual takeover of the White Family.

"It seems the White Family doesn’t know about any of this,"

Nina Jacobs said.

Anselm Hughes was a typical power-hungry man, selfish and arrogant. Someone like him would never willingly make sacrifices for the White Family.

This letter explained everything.

Ms. Carter’s real name was Elara Carter. The letter instructed Anselm Hughes to hand over the "Puppetry Technique" to Ms. Carter, who would then assist him in transferring the supplies.

"What does the Hughes Family want with the Puppetry Technique?"

Nina Jacobs put the letter away.

She searched a few more rooms but found nothing else.

Just then, Tristan Lynch, Corisande, and Lachlan burst in.

"Miss Jacobs, so you knew all along."

Lachlan said, his face long and miserable.

’??? ’

’What did I know?’

"What did you find?"

Nina asked.

Corisande, her face filled with rage, said, "It was that Elara Carter. She’s the one who killed our people."

Nina Jacobs immediately understood.

Tristan Lynch had previously mentioned that many of their people had been killed inside Lornwood Base.

And now they had discovered that Ms. Carter was the one who had ordered the killings.

"Do you have any proof?" Nina asked again.

Corisande held out several badges in her cupped hands, her voice filled with grief and rage.

"The number of these badges is exactly the same as the number of our people who died in the base. We found them in Elara Carter’s office drawer. Who else could it be?"

Those badges were indeed the badges of The Aegis Conclave.

A flicker of interest appeared in Nina Jacobs’s eyes.

’So, this Elara Carter knew about the existence of The Aegis Conclave.’

"Actually, Miss Jacobs, you could have just told us. You don’t have to bear all this alone."

Lachlan was suddenly moved. He thought Nina Jacobs had sought out this Ms. Carter for their sake; she must have wanted to avenge their fallen comrades.

Nina Jacobs hadn’t expected them to misunderstand her so completely.

"It’s just a shame she’s nowhere to be found now. She must have already escaped,"

Nina Jacobs said.

She had already activated her "Five Senses Enhancement." If she could hear Ms. Carter’s voice, she might still be able to find her.

"Don’t worry, Miss Jacobs. We will definitely catch this person for you,"

Tristan Lynch declared.

"Where are Damian and Shane Shepherd? I remember the five of you came together,"

Nina asked.

These five members of The Aegis Conclave were giving her a bit of a headache; she still wasn’t sure how to handle them.

"Damian is helping pack things up. Shane Shepherd is with him. They said they want to bring everything from the administration building back to our base."

Tristan Lynch decided to stay at Lornwood Base for the next few days. If he could find Ms. Carter, he was determined to make her pay.

"Does this mean we’ve completed our mission?

Maybe we’ll get promoted to official members as soon as we get back, hahaha!"

Lachlan said gleefully.

Although they hadn’t succeeded in infiltrating Lornwood Base from the inside, thanks to Nina Jacobs, they now owned the entire place!

"Alright, stop daydreaming and go find her,"

Tristan Lynch said, dragging Lachlan out. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Yeah, I actually think staying here is pretty good. No mission pressure, we can do whatever we want..."

Corisande’s voice faded outside the door. Nina Jacobs looked at the system’s affinity values and sighed softly.
