Chapter 568.
‘As for your plan to oppose Josie, all I can say is that it’s absurd. It’s never going to happen.”
No
matter how many schemes you cook up, you aren’t worth a single finger of hers.”
“Might makes right. As long as she is strong enough, all your schemes will amount to nothing!”
“This is the apocalypse. This isn’t the era of peace where you could use politics and mind games to balance power.”
“This is the age of heroes. She is the world’s savior. And we are just ants under her protection!”
“If you want to fight her, go right ahead. I won’t be joining yuu!”
“I’ve made my decision. If there’s a merger, I’m merging with Quinshaw Base, not your Official Base!”
“Besides, in the end, won’t you have to merge with Josie anyway?”
“You don’t actually think that holding onto a large population will give you leverage in the new base, do you?”
“Stop dreaming! It won’t happen!”
“Josie made it clear. She writes the rules. Everyone else lives under them. She is the only one who stands above the rules.”
“You are no exception. Whether it’s you or Felix, neither of you will ever take power from her!”
“I’m telling you this for the sake of our past. I’ll only say it once. Whether you listen or not is up to you!”
Nadia pressed a button on her desk.”Guards, show Chief Monroe out!”
The door opened immediately. Two Supers stood there, speaking politely to Malcolm.”Chief Monroe, this way, please.” Malcolm’s face darkened instantly. He stood up abruptly.”Nadia Neville, don’t push your luck! I gave you a chance!” “Leave,” Nadia said, waving him off dismissively. “I won’t see you out.”
“Hmph!” Malcolm stormed out with a flick of his wrist.
Once he was gone, Nadia leaned back in her chair. She didn’t move for a long time.
To say she wasn’t sad would be a lie.
But feelings were feelings, and logic was logic.
She was a love-blind person, but even a love-blind person has limits.
She wasn’t a young girl who would charge blindly into a fire. She was mature; she knew how to weigh pros and cons.
She saw the difference between Josie and Malcolm.
She knew which side would offer her the most benefit.
Because Josie held the entire Agri-Science Institute, she didn’t covet Nadia’s resources. Josie’s stuff was already better than hers. So, if Josie wanted to help her, it was out of genuine goodwill.
Malcolm was different.
He was desperate to replenish his stockpile with her crops and vegetables.
