Chapter 552.

Half an hour later.

Josie was sitting across from Malcolm Monroe.

Malcolm was so shocked he nearly jumped out of his seat.”What did you say? You want me to send June to The Pit? She’s just a Norm’ If she goes there, she’s as good as dead.”

Josie toyed with a pen in her hand, her response lazy and indifferent. “So what? She crossed me; she has to face the consequences. I’m not taking her life; I’m just letting her suffer a little. I’m already being more than generous here, Chief Monroe!”

“But… she’s your sister!” Malcolm still wanted to help June for the sake of his love for her mother.

“If you didn’t keep mentioning that, I might not want to kill her so much,” Josie countered. “But I promised her I wouldn’t let her die right now. So, I’m inviting her to experience the luxuries’ of The Pit!”

“I’ve heard the arena here is quite grand and magnificent. I’m sure she’ll love it!”

“Chief Monroe, I’m informing you of my decision, not negotiating with you.”

“If you refuse, I will consider it a refusal of my protection for your base. You can forget about entering my safe zone.”

Malcolm’s face turned a deep, furious red.

He was a man of his age, and being threatened like this by a woman young enough to be his daughter was a first.

However, this threat hit him right where it hurt.

He couldn’t gamble the fate of the entire base on a stepdaughter who didn’t even share his blood.

Simply put, this was human nature.

In the apocalypse, the greed, selfishness, and cowardice of humanity were magnified to the extreme.

Even biological parents and children would abandon each other in a life-or-death moment. Why would he risk everything for a stepdaughter he hadn’t even raised?

After a brief moment of internal struggle, Malcolm made his decision.”She will be taken to the Pit in three days.”

“Pleasure doing business with you!” Josie’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.

Perfect.

It was finally time for June to taste the same misery Josie had endured in her past life.

She wondered if June would still be so proud and arrogant in that environment.

When Josie had been sold into The Pit in her previous life, she had already learned martial arts and could protect herself.

The current June, however, knew nothing!

She couldn’t wait to see the moment June completely broke!

As Josie stood up to leave, Malcolm called out to her.”Chief Quinn, wait. There’s something else I need to discuss.”

Josie sat back down.”Go ahead.”

“Once our bases merge, who will be the ultimate shon-caller? Maksim asked.

Josie laughed. “What do you think?

I’m not trying to take power from you,” Malcolm clarified. “But in a new base, it’s best if there are no more than three people with real authority. Any more than that, and you’ll run into too many conflicting opinions. Three is the perfect number two to one makes decision-making easy.”

Josie looked interested. ‘Oh But right now, we have four bases. Who are you suggesting we diminue?

Chapter 553.

“It should be based on strength, of course,” Malcolm Monroe answered. “We are the largest base. Whether it’s Supers, supplies, or resources, we have the most. The Rivers Base, everyone there is a Super, and they have plenty of supplies too. And as for you. Chief Quinn-well, you have quality over quantity.”

“So, you want Nadia Neville out?” Josie Quinn arched an eyebrow.

“The Peaks Base has very few Supers. Most are Norms. They don’t have any specialized skills besides farming, Malcolm said. “Since you have the Agri-Science Institute, their function is redundant. We only need one agricultural hub.”

Josie smirked. “I recall you and Nadia used to date?”

“That’s in the past. It wasn’t even a formal relationship-just a bit of a fling. Men and women… isn’t it always just the same old thing? Malcolm replied dismissively. “If there was no marriage, it wasn’t an official relationship.”

“So you’re just handing your ex over on a silver platter for the three of us to tear her apart?” Josie made a slow, casual cutting motion across her throat. “You want her dead?”

“That’s an exaggeration!” Malcolm didn’t seem to care. “I’m just temporarily stripping her of some power and authority. Once things settle, I can restore her position. As a woman, carrying all that responsibility is too exhausting. It’s because I care for her.”

“Fascinating.” Josie laughed. “You make it sound like you’re doing her a favor.”

“I’m thinking of our future!” Malcolm continued.”Chief Quinn, you’re the strongest, no doubt. But when it comes to managing a massive base, I have more experience. I’m sure you don’t have time for trivial chores. You can leave those to me! Security and patrols can be Felix Fletcher’s responsibility. A triumvirate. We’ll discuss everything together, just like we used to!”

“Have you talked to Nadia about this? Does she agree?” Josie asked.

“Not yet, but I’m sure she’ll understand and agree!” Malcolm answered confidently. “She’s very fond of me. Anything involving me, she
