Chapter 388 Judgment Time
“But if you refuse to appreciate what’s good for you, then don’t blame us for getting rough!”
Monica’s voice quickly drew everyone’s attention.

The moment they saw that their own leader had fallen into someone else’s hands, the whole crowd was stunned.
They could not help stopping what they were doing, and when they stopped, Robin and the others did not continue attacking either. They also came to a halt.
It seemed… they really did not want to hurt them.
The people of Tyrant Base quickly realized that.
At some point, the sounds of fighting had completely stopped.
Aldrich and the others stood in the middle of the battleground. They could hardly believe that Tyrant Base, which had always seemed like an unshakable mountain in their eyes, had really been taken under control so easily by Robin’s group.
For a moment, the entire base was so quiet that a pin could have been heard dropping.
Robin glanced at Monica, and Monica understood instantly.
Still holding Rolf hostage, she slowly walked to the front of the crowd.
“Hey, what exactly do you people want?” someone below asked cautiously.
“Didn’t you already join us before? We don’t think… we ever messed with you, right?”
Robin let out a light laugh.
“Whether you messed with us or not isn’t for you to decide. That was for your leader to decide. Besides, as members of Tyrant Base, you know very well what rotten things you’ve done yourselves. Still, I’m not an unreasonable person, and I’m not cruel either. I only have one principle. I protect my own people, right or wrong. I’ll only say this once. You have three minutes. Every member of Tyrant Base will line up and stand in front of me. I have questions for you.”
Her attitude was arrogant to the extreme. Tyrant Base was full of adults, yet the way she spoke to them made it sound like they were elementary school kids. That tone quickly stirred a lot of resentment.
Donald and Bruno were mixed into the crowd. While they were shocked by Robin’s true identity, they were also regretting what kind of person they had provoked.
And from the look of things now, Robin definitely was not going to let them off easily.
“Ahem…”
Bruno cleared his throat and spoke carefully.

M–Ms Neel. We were wrong about this, and even if you’re angry, we can understand that… But please hear me out. We only acted on impulse for a moment. We never truly meant to get you killed. The other people of Tyrant Base are innocent. With the apocalypse happening right now, I think humanity should stay united. At a time like this, we absolutely shouldn’t be pointing our blades at our own kind.”
There was skill in the way he said it. On the surface, it sounded like he was apologizing to Robin.
But in reality, he was subtly accusing her of being ruthless, saying she could turn on her own people.
And it was also very effective at stirring up everyone else’s emotions.
Sure enough, some people had already been unhappy, and after hearing him, they could no longer hold themselves back.
“Why should we listen to you?”
“Exactly. If you’ve got something to say, just say it. Do you really think you can order us around however you want?”
“So what if you’re strong? That doesn’t mean you can bully us like this just because you have power. I’d advise you not to go too far!”
Martin silently adjusted the gun in his hand off to the side. It was a casual movement, as if it meant nothing at all.
But the three men’s pupils shrank instantly. The others who had been about to speak also awkwardly shut their mouths.
They had almost forgotten. These people had guns.
The crowd below went quiet, and Robin was satisfied.
“If I didn’t tell you to open your mouths, then it would be best to stay quiet. I have another flaw. I hate it when people interrupt me while I’m talking. And as for saying I can’t rely on my strength to bully you, hearing words like that come out of people from Tyrant Base is honestly hilarious. How many evil things did Tyrant Base do outside by relying on its strength? Funny how none of that gets mentioned. But when it comes to me, suddenly, you all know how to act righteous. That kind of hypocrisy is really something But sorry, I truly don’t think much of any of you. Right here, right now, I make the rules. You’ll listen whether you want to or not!”
Her arrogant and reckless words fell over the crowd, making everyone in Tyrant Base grit their teeth in hatred, yet they had no way to fight back.
