After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Weapon Grandmaster

"You mean someone is using the Holy Water to hoard supplies?"

Adrian Paige understood perfectly. Nina Jacobs suspected that the people selling the Holy Water were doing so to amass resources.

Seeing that Nina didn’t deny it, Adrian continued, "We’ve been investigating the Holy Water too, but our main focus has been tracing its origins."

The Holy Water had appeared out of nowhere. They suspected it was developed by some pharmaceutical company’s research facility.

"What if the Holy Water came from Veridia?"

Nina’s words made a sharp gleam flash in Adrian’s eyes.

In her past life, she hadn’t known much about the central command, only remembering that Warren Rhodes always had two personal bodyguards by his side. Those two were Charles Rowan and Hannah Warner, whom she had saved a few days ago. She recalled Warren mentioning that they used to serve someone else.

But that person had sacrificed themselves for the country, and their dying wish was for Charles and Hannah to protect Warren. She remembered how Warren’s eyes would still fill with tears whenever he spoke of that fallen hero.

The reason she agreed to let Justin Lawson report this to Adrian was because she suspected Adrian might be that very hero.

Many things had unfolded differently in this life compared to the last, but a person’s core moral compass was hard to change. This man was highly trustworthy, or at the very least, he would never betray Drakonia.

"Do you have any proof?" Adrian looked at Nina sitting across from him. She didn’t seem to be making baseless guesses. Remembering Myra Lawson’s words, he added, "If the intel you provide is useful, I can pay you another batch of Crystal Cores. Or is there something else you want?"

"COUGH, COUGH."

Justin couldn’t help but cough.

"Commander Lawson, have you not recovered from your illness yet?" Adrian asked with concern.

"I’m fine, perfectly fine.

"Adrian, why don’t we just let Nina speak?"

Justin couldn’t resist interrupting Adrian’s inquiry. Why did a perfectly normal question sound completely off when it came out of Adrian’s mouth?

Nina didn’t mind. She nodded and continued, "I do have proof, which brings me to the second reason I’m here today.

"How much do you two know about the organization called The Aegis Conclave?

"What I know might only be scratching the surface."

Nina’s intention was clear. She wanted an information exchange.

Adrian understood this much and replied, "The Aegis Conclave is located within the Arisdale Base. Originally, it was a spontaneous mutual-aid group formed by foreigners stranded in Drakonia, including several foreign medical doctorates. Later, it evolved into a medical research institution.

"After registering in City A, they donated a massive amount of medical supplies to the Arisdale Base, so the base tacitly approved of their research.

"Over time, the number of Drakonians joining the organization steadily increased, bringing in plenty of highly skilled individuals. Rumor has it that their research focuses on curing the zombie virus and developing Superpower Users..."

Justin chimed in, "This organization has an almost spotless record within Drakonia’s borders. After the incident with Icarus Golding, Heath Chandler has been investigating them.

"However, aside from gathering supplies and recruiting members, he hasn’t found any evidence of illegal activity."

Gathering supplies and recruiting members fell under the scope of normal activities. Even if these actions were reported, the other party would simply claim they were individual behaviors entirely unrelated to the organization.

Nina didn’t argue with that. The Aegis Conclave did appear flawless on the surface. It had been the same in her past life; it wasn’t until the third year of the apocalypse that they finally drew the attention of central command.
