After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Justin Stone’s Plea

Nina Jacobs knew that brandishing the Holy Water in public would attract some unwanted attention.

But she hadn’t expected it to be so soon.

’It seems the appeal of Healing Potions is truly immense.’

After hearing what Aurelius Marshall said, she didn’t panic. Instead, she asked:

"Your Base Commander’s name is Justin Stone?"

Aurelius Marshall was a little surprised. "You know him?"

Nina Jacobs shook her head. "I’ve heard of him."

She only knew that Justin Stone had been to the City D Base and watched the base’s Superpower User tournament.

Later, on their way to the Bishop Clan, they had passed through Aethelgard and rescued Aidan Keaton and his group, who had been trapped inside.

Apparently, this was all Justin Stone’s handiwork.

Under the guise of rescuing the city’s remaining survivors, he had tricked everyone from Aethelgard who had opposed him at Riventon Base into returning. He then sealed off the city, causing the deaths of countless survivors.

However, when they parted ways with Aidan Keaton’s group, Aidan had sworn to avenge the people of Aethelgard who had been wrongfully killed and expose Justin Stone’s actions.

’I wonder how far they’ve gotten...’

"Miss Jacobs, don’t worry. If he gives you any trouble,

I’ll risk my life to get you two out of this base."

Aurelius Marshall whispered in her ear on the way to see Justin Stone.

"He won’t give us any trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent you to get us."

Nina Jacobs said with a confident smile, looking at the nearly deserted base ahead.

Atop the tallest building in Riventon Base.

In a room surrounded by electric heaters, a man was pacing anxiously.

"Why aren’t they here yet?

Didn’t I tell you to bring them here as quickly as possible?"

Justin Stone demanded over the base’s intercom.

He stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, his current appearance reflected in the glass.

The man in the reflection had sores at the corners of his mouth from stress, and his stubble hadn’t been touched in ages. He looked utterly haggard.

He looked like a completely different person from three months ago.

But none of that mattered to him right now.

He couldn’t be bothered with it at all.

Because he had already received news that Drakonian Command Headquarters was going to strip him of all his duties in Riventon Base.

It was only this sudden cold snap that kept the people sent by the Command Headquarters too busy to deal with him.

But he knew that once they finished what they were doing, they would immediately drag him down from this position of absolute authority.

They might even prosecute him for his crimes.

He had to secure a foolproof escape plan before that happened.

The Holy Water was what he wanted most right now.

"Damn those remnants of Aethelgard! I should have just killed them all back then!"

A nameless rage flared in Justin Stone’s heart as he thought about the cause of all this.

He never expected that any survivors would be able to escape from Aethelgard.

And he’d heard that the people who helped them escape were a merchant caravan from City F.

What he expected even less was that those people would gather all the evidence and report his actions directly to the City A command headquarters.

Just then, a knock came from the door.

"Come in, quickly."

Justin Stone opened the door himself.

But when he saw the person standing outside, he froze.

"You?"

Justin Stone stared at Nina Jacobs, utterly shocked.

The last time he had seen Nina Jacobs was at the Superpower User tournament in the City D Base.

He only knew she was the captain of a Psionics Unit from the City D Base called "Stella."

"You recognize me?"

Nina Jacobs asked, feigning surprise.
