Liam Grant was setting a trap for her. At this point, was he still suspecting that she was like them? Seeing that Nina Jacobs’s reaction was perfectly normal, Liam finally said, "She is your sister, but all she wants is for you to die."
"I don’t even know who this person is, and I certainly don’t want to listen to your nonsense," Nina replied, her voice dropping a few degrees. Why would Liam suddenly bring up Ianna Jacobs?
Liam sighed. "Nina, you probably don’t know this, but I already regret it. I had my reasons for breaking up with you back then. I think it was a massive misunderstanding."
He had indeed regretted it more than once. Nina seemed to possess some kind of magic; everyone who got close to her had strokes of good luck. In their previous life, the Stellarys Team hadn’t existed. Nor had the several Intermediate Superpower Users in the Stellarys Team, let alone the Dual Element Superpower Users. Nina’s own strength hadn’t been this formidable, either. Perhaps his initial choice in this life had been a mistake from the very beginning. Renee Strong was simply a jinx.
"There is no misunderstanding," Nina said flatly.
For some reason, her reply made him feel as if the surrounding temperature had dropped another few degrees. Liam continued to explain, "I know you still resent me, but I’ll definitely clarify everything with you in the future. However, I’ll be leaving for a while soon, which is why I came to warn you about Ianna."
Leaving? The only reason Nina hadn’t killed Liam was to keep him here and draw out answers to the mysteries from her previous life. And now he was leaving City D?
Murderous intent flashed in Nina’s eyes. Fortunately, the sky was growing dark, and Liam only noticed her words. "Where to?" she asked.
"The Drakonian Command Headquarters asked me to make a trip to the Arisdale Base. After all, I’ve made a great contribution." Sure enough, Nina still cared about him. Liam’s tone carried a renewed sense of confidence. He was the one who had issued the warning about the extreme cold weather. Although the people at the City D Base didn’t value him now, the Command Headquarters had specially sent someone to contact him. Of course, it was done in secret to ensure his safety. If he handed himself over to the state, his future would likely be smooth sailing. At the end of the day, he was different from everyone else.
Nina completely understood after hearing this. The people from the Command Headquarters likely wanted to contact him because of his precognitive dream regarding the extreme cold. But once he went there, regardless of how the Command Headquarters treated him, he would draw attention from all factions.
"That’s good," Nina said, suppressing the excitement in her eyes. Things were indeed developing in the direction she had anticipated. Her bait and long line were ready.
Liam, however, thought Nina was wishing him well. "I’m so glad you’re willing to listen to me. It’s safe here, and my sister will be staying here as well. Will you wait for me to return and give you a proper explanation?"
"When are you leaving?" Nina asked.
"In three months, though it might be sooner," Liam replied.
Three months? Nina felt a bit disappointed.
"That girl named Ianna is already here, which is why I came to warn you."
"How do you know about this person?" Nina asked, feigning ignorance. What truly puzzled her was why Ianna had shown up earlier than expected.
"I’ll naturally explain it to you in the future. Just listen to me and stay as far away from her as possible."
Liam’s words prompted Nina to activate her Five Senses Enhancement as soon as she returned to her bedroom. However, after searching for a while, she couldn’t pick up any useful sounds. She then opened the system. The journey back from Keldorn, combined with the high-intensity Superpower output over the past few days, had increased her Superpower Value by another two points. As long as she could raise it by four more points, she would be able to advance and become an Advanced Superpower User!
