Tare chuckled. “Relax. We’re not about to trust some outsider over our own people. Besides, since when does she get to tell us how to run our base?
Hearing that, June finally let out a breath she’d been holding.
As long as Tate and his old man didn’t buy it. she was golden.
Still, she knew she had to fly under the radar for a while. She couldn’t afford to let Josie catch her slipping again.
Bitch.
Tate pulled her into his arms, his voice dropping an octave. “Don’t leave tonight.”
“I wish I could, Tate,” June said, cupping his face and giving him her most devoted look. “But you know the deal. My Plant–type power took a massive hit when I awakened my secondary, and it still hasn’t bounced back. I have to stay on the grind if I want to get my Aquatic power up to speed.”
“I need to hit Tier 4. If our base has two Tier–4 Supers, we can finally keep Josie in her place.”
“You know how much history we have. I’m dying to finally surpass her.”
“So… wait until 1 rank up, okay?”
June wrapped her arms around his waist, snuggling into his chest. “I’m doing this for our future. Just think about how much clout you’ll have with a Tier–4 girlfriend on your arm. You’ll be the envy of the whole base.”
Tate smiled, clearly enjoying the ego stroke. “Fine. Have it your way.”
Tate had a superpower now, sure, but it was just Rain–basically a glorified sprinkler for crops. Plus, he was still stuck at the Basic
Tier.
He could barely manage a light drizzle.
Trying to actually water a field would probably kill him from exhaustion.
That was why he was setting his sights on June again.
After all, she was still the only Dual–Class Super in the entire Base.
Sure, her Plant–type power was fried and she hadn’t used it since, but still.
What if?
What if it suddenly came back one day?
If that happened, her status in the Base would be untouchable.
Marrying her would lock her into the Jansen family for good.
But June was honestly over Tate. She was just stringing him along, playing mind games and refusing to give him a straight answer.
She knew she was the one holding all the cards now.
As soon as June left, Tate let out a cold sneer. He pulled out his phone, made a call, and had three or four hot girls over in minutes. He wasn’t about to spend the night alone.
Meanwhile..
The second Josie and Zane stepped out of the Base’s main office, their expressions soured
They didn’t even need to say it.
They both knew Albert didn’t take a single thing they said seriously.

Josie scufted her voice cold. “Looking at that idiot’s face makes me want to wash my hands of this whole mess. Honestly, letting the entire base burn for his stupidity sounds like a great idea.”
I know you’re pissed,” Zane said. “But take it easy. We’re not doing this for the base. We’re doing it for us.”
“No kidding. If it weren’t for us, I wouldn’t lift a finger for these losers,” Josie snapped. “Who the hell do they think they are? They aren’t worth the effort.”
“We did what we could. Now it’s in God’s hands.” Zane said. “The weather’s getting weird. I bet the temperature is about even more We need to get back, fast.”
“Fine.” Josie looked up at the sky.
He was right.
It was already forty or fifty below zero.
