Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388.

However, driving Josie away was

one of her primary goals. At least for the foreseeable furore, June could finally be the master of her own fare in

Fort City. Albert and Tate Jansen would ultimately just be stepping stones for her!

When June brought the news home, Arthur Quinn and Sylvia Sutton were ecstatic

“Wonderful! Simply wonderful! We’ve finally driven that inx away!” Arthur was so excited he was practically incoherent. “Now that she’s gone, we cam finally go out and move around! Being cooped up in this base every day was driving me inwane!”

Sylvia kept asking for confirmation. “Did she really say she’d leave, Fort City in three days?”

“Yes.” June wasn’t as excited as they were. She said coldly, “But I still feel like something is wrong, Josie shouldn’t be this easy to bearm

“What do you know?” Arthur said dismissively. “The base lost so many people because of her. How could she not feel guilty? As long as she’s human she’ll have a shred of compassion!”

“All those lives were a weight she couldn’t breathe under!”

“If she had kept ignoring it, the people of Quinshaw

“Who wants to serve a soulless killing

“Is that it?” June still had doubts, but

Would have seen her as cold-blooded and heartless-not worth flowing”

If Josie were alone, she could do whatever she wanted. But if she wanted to lead a team, she had to maintain some level of humanity. If she were a heartless slaughtering machine, who would dare to trust her with their back?

Moreover, back in Newport City, Josie had risked injury to heal Hudson and had taken hits herself rather than let her team suffer

From that perspective, Josie was exactly what Arthur described: she had developed humanity, and with it, pressure.

If that was the case, there was nothing to worry about. It seemed her plan had truly worked!

June couldn’t help but feel smug. She had been suppressed by Josie for so long; she had finally won a round!

It felt good!

“This kind of news deserves a celebration!” Sylvia said. “I’ll get some good wine and food ready. We’re going to celebrate properly!”

“We definitely should!” June added. “And I have more good news. I’ve already contacted a Tier-6 Metallic Superpower user. They’ve agreed to make metallic prosthetics for both of you. From now on, you’ll be able to stand on your own two feet again!”

“Really? That’s fantastic!” Arthur and Sylvia were overjoyed.

Their family was finally back on top!

On the other side, at Quinshaw Base, the internal demolition had begun.

Everything inside the buildings that could be dismantled was takes. They stripped the place bare like a swarm of locusts,
