After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 515

Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Want to Investigate First

Nina Jacobs held up a few fingers.

"This is all I have left,"

"I lost a lot of good men for these few bottles. I hope you won’t let me down, Mr. Stone."

"I’ll take them all!"

"Four tons of supplies per bottle of Holy Water. As for Crystal Cores, you can name your price. How about it?"

’Six bottles...’

This made Justin Stone ecstatic.

Nina Jacobs was genuinely surprised by the price Justin Stone offered.

Six bottles of Holy Water would net her over twenty tons of supplies. Mordecai Quinn hadn’t even been willing to part with a single ton.

When Nina Jacobs didn’t respond, Justin Stone assumed she thought his offer was too low and quickly added:

"Five tons, then! I’ll do whatever it takes for the people of this base!"

"When would you like to make the trade, Mr. Stone?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

"The sooner, the better, of course. We can do it right now."

Justin Stone replied, unable to wait.

"I have friends with me. We’ve all just arrived at your base. It’s getting late, how about tomorrow?"

Nina Jacobs said.

’Something is off. Even if the trade goes smoothly, I can’t shake this feeling of unease.’

’I’ll use tonight to do some investigating.’

"No matter how many friends you have, Captain Jacobs, they will all be treated as honored guests. I’ll have someone make arrangements immediately."

Justin Stone immediately picked up the walkie-talkie on his desk.

A woman in a short fur coat, tight pants, and high heels quickly walked in.

"Arrange accommodations for Miss Jacobs and her friends immediately. We can’t neglect our guests."

Justin Stone said to the woman.

"Understood. We have a suite ready,

and the electric heaters have been turned on. Miss Jacobs, if you’ll follow me."

The woman introduced herself.

Her name was Chloe Ainsworth, and she was Justin Stone’s secretary.

"Thank you for the trouble."

Nina Jacobs stood up.

’I’ve been in Riventon Base for less than two hours, and they already have a place ready for me.’

’They must be afraid I’ll run off.’

"How many friends do you have, Miss Jacobs?"

Chloe Ainsworth opened the office door, and a blast of frigid air rushed in.

It was followed by a bone-chilling cold.

"Three."

Nina Jacobs replied.

"Alright, I understand."

Chloe Ainsworth didn’t question it, replying with a smile as she led the way.

Aurelius Marshall breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nina Jacobs emerge safely.

"Ainsworth, I know the way. Let me take Miss Jacobs. Her friends are still waiting over with Benjamin Wood."

Aurelius Marshall said.

"Of course. I heard Miss Jacobs saved your life, Marshall. You’re a lucky man today."

Chloe Ainsworth stopped in her tracks.

"I actually have a few things to take care of, so I’ll leave it to you, Marshall."

After speaking, she gave Nina Jacobs a polite nod and turned back toward Justin Stone’s office.

"Chloe Ainsworth is the Base Commander’s secretary. She’s also his..."

Once Chloe Ainsworth’s back had disappeared from view, Aurelius Marshall stuck out his pinky finger.

"His... what?"

Nina Jacobs didn’t understand what the pinky meant, but she immediately caught on when she saw Aurelius Marshall’s evasive look.

’So they’re probably lovers.’

’It’s not uncommon in the apocalypse.’

"Has anyone important arrived at the base recently? People from the Drakonian Command Headquarters, for instance."

Nina Jacobs asked.

’Justin Stone is selfish by nature. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have completely sealed off Aethelgard just to eliminate his rivals, leaving all those supplies behind.’

’She didn’t believe for a second that a man like that was seeking Holy Water for the base’s survivors.’

’For Justin Stone to be this desperate, something must have happened.’

"And that man, Lucian Phelps—he doesn’t seem to be on the base’s staff?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
