After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Maybe She’s Not the Only One

He also seemed to be waiting for someone. "My name is Felix Finch. I’m also new here."

"Mm."

Mordecai Quinn replied coolly.

"Sorry I’m late. What a god-awful base. The inspection process isn’t user-friendly at all, seriously..."

Just then, a complaining voice came from the inspection entrance they had just passed through.

Elara Calder walked up to Felix Finch. It was already dark, so she didn’t notice Nina Jacobs and Mordecai Quinn standing to the side.

"Miss Calder, inspections are like this at every base. You must not have been out in a while. This is Commander Mordecai Quinn."

Felix Finch said hurriedly.

Elara Calder’s expression stiffened slightly. In the darkness, she couldn’t see Mordecai Quinn’s face clearly, but she knew Felix Finch’s expression beside her was as dark as a thundercloud.

"My apologies. I’m just not used to taking my clothes off in front of others."

Elara Calder also noticed Nina Jacobs standing next to Mordecai Quinn.

"My name is Elara Calder, from Riventon Base. And may I ask your name, miss?"

She suspected Nina Jacobs was Commander Quinn’s woman, but considering her own status, a hint of arrogance crept into her tone.

Seeing that Nina Jacobs had no intention of answering, Mordecai Quinn shielded her with his body.

"It’s getting late. You two should head into the base."

The gate ahead was the final entrance to the base. Mordecai Quinn planned to wait here with Nina Jacobs for the others.

"In that case, Commander Quinn, we’ll see you tomorrow."

Felix Finch pulled Elara Calder away.

Elara Calder grew even more displeased. Once they were out of earshot, she shook off Felix Finch’s hand.

"We’re here for a fair trade, not to grovel. I bet that woman is his mistress, the way he’s so protective of her."

Felix Finch suppressed his anger and said,

"Miss Calder, you should watch what you say. We all have a mission this time. There’s no need for you to be so conspicuous."

"I’ll complete the mission, of course. But we have Holy Water. Why are you so subservient? Meridia Base is just a small, unrated base. In the future, it’s not certain who will be begging whom."

Elara Calder saw a few of their companions waiting ahead. After her cold retort, she ignored him completely.

Meanwhile, Nina Jacobs had waited long enough for Wayne Warner, Silas Crowley, Audrey Crowley, and the others to successfully pass through the base’s inspection.

"I didn’t expect you two to know each other."

Lyra Thorne said with a surprised look on her face.

"Yes, Miss Jacobs saved my life."

Mordecai Quinn didn’t hide it, stating it plainly.

He was also very curious about what Nina Jacobs had experienced since she left, and why she had now come to Meridia Base with people from the Crowley Clan.

"It was nothing. Commander Quinn has also helped me a great deal."

’If it weren’t for Mordecai Quinn, I wouldn’t have found out about the Ziegler Family and the Mystic Sect.’

"Everyone, please follow me inside. It’s late, and I’ve already had arrangements made."

Mordecai Quinn said with a smile.

He noticed that Wayne Warner was still with Nina Jacobs, but compared to last time, she now had a cat with her.

Once the cat was inside their quarters, he realized it was somewhat larger than a normal cat, with a more agile build.

"I’ve still kept the room for you two."

Mordecai Quinn said, pointing in a direction upstairs.

He had arranged for Audrey Crowley and her group to stay in the building next door, while Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner would still be staying in his residence.

Some food was already prepared on the dining table. Knowing Wayne Warner had a large appetite, he had deliberately prepared a more lavish spread.

The dinner for the group next door had also been set up.

"This is mutated boar meat. We gave it some special treatment. I think it tastes pretty good."
