Villainess Ascendant: Apocalypse Edition
Chapter 197 Huge Gamble
Ivy was alive.
She had also broken free from the shackles of the mysterious power ahead of time.
From now on, she just needed to keep growing stronger.
When she met Brandon and Sabrina again, she would no longer be helpless prey.
She would stand above them and become the master of their fate.
Jerome paused, looking at the girl in front of him whose eyes shone brightly. His feelings became complicated.
She reminded him of himself in his previous life.
He struggled to survive in a hopeless situation that never seemed to end.
Once, twice, three times, four times…
Exactly how many times had he failed?
He couldn’t remember.
The moment he was reborn, he thought he still had a chance, but…
Jerome’s eyes darkened slightly. His long eyelashes lowered as he asked quietly, “If you found out that all your efforts were useless, that everything was already decided, and that no matter how you try to change things, and the result is always the same, would you still keep trying?”
“Yes!”

The boy pressed his lips together and said softly, “That’s a huge gamble.”
“Yes! But if you don’t try, how will you know if the hundredth attempt might succeed?”
“Jerome, both your parents were researchers. You must have talent as well. Maybe researching viruses will be easier for you. So, do you want to try?”
Everything she said before was just to lead up to this sentence.
She wanted him to research a cure for the zombie virus.

Chapter 197 Huge Gamble
Jerome felt conflicted. Looking at Cecelia, he pressed his lips together. “I can’t do it alone…”
“You won’t be alone. There’s me, your Ivy, Amber, and Oliver. And if necessary. I’ll even ask Timothy and the others to help. As long as you’re willing to try”
“L…”
“Jerome, don’t rush. You still have time to think about it. I’m just giving you a direction to work toward.”
Cecelia smiled and patted his shoulder. “Don’t feel pressured. Maybe you could also think about researching a way to awaken your own ability. That works too!”
“Yeah.”
Jerome responded vaguely.
Cecelia looked toward the gas station. “Let’s head back first. Think about what I said.”
After saying that, she turned and walked away.
Jerome followed behind her at a short distance. Suddenly, he heard a familiar inner thought again….
“Sigh, if Jerome isn’t willing to research the zombie virus, then I can only…
Only what?
Give up on him?
Before Jerome could think too much about his unstable mind–reading ability, he was already confused again by her thoughts.
Walking ahead, Cecelia thought to herself, “If Jerome didn’t want to research the zombie virus, then I would have to find another way–maybe find some expert to guide him.”
“Young people always need a little push to get motivated!”
“Young people always need a little push…”
A push?
Jerome pressed his lips together as he looked at the back of Cecelia’s head. A strange thought suddenly rose in his mind.
What exactly was she thinking?
There was definitely something wrong with this mind–reading ability in his body.
It seemed that only when she was thinking about him did these half–finished thoughts appear.
As for everyone else…
Jeroine walked faster and returned to the gas station with Cecelia.

Ivy waved at Cecelia and called her name. Her inner thoughts said, “Finally, she’s back. Regina’s psychic ability is so amazing. I have to tell Cecelia all about it.”
Amber had a smile on her face, but she was almost crying inside. “Wah, what should I do? Regina’s pyschic ability is so good. Will Cecelia think I’m useless? I’m the weakest one on the team! Ah… wait, no, Jerome is at the bottom.”
Jerome quietly glanced at Amber before shifting his gaze to Oliver.
“Smells good… so good.”
Oliver hadn’t joined the zombie research discussion. His mind was empty except for the smoked chicken stew cooking in the pot.
“Cecelia was right. Without her, Regina’s psychic ability would’ve been very hard to upgrade… ” Timothy frowned slightly, sighing in his heart.
Regina was smiling, but inside she was uneasy. “I’m still not strong enough. I haven’t even absorbed all the techniques Harvey developed. I need to integrate them faster. Otherwise I won’t be able to help everyone much.”
Matthew was still studying the zombie heads. “How exactly do these things grow crystals?”
“Damn! What did Cecelia take that pretty boy away for? Why does he look like a bullied kid now that he’s back?”
Jerome glanced toward Ryan. His thoughts were the loudest of all. He was chewing on a chicken drumstick and quickly looked away when he noticed Jerome staring at him.
