Robin turned her gaze to the man. From the very beginning, he had been standing in the center of the group, and when he spoke, the others clearly listened. He was obviously their leader.

“It’s true that we found this place first,” he said. “But we’re not completely unreasonable. However much medicine you took, I can let you keep half of it. The other half comes with us.

“Of course, there’s one more condition. That white goose in your arms comes with us too. That beast used an ability just now, and we need to take it back for proper study.”

As he said that, he even lifted his chin with a trace of pride, as if to say, See? I’m already being generous.

Robin and the others were so stunned by his shamelessness that they almost laughed.

Dane crossed his arms and said with open sarcasm, “Wow, what a huge concession. We risked our lives for these supplies, and you just open your mouth and demand half. You talk about first come, first served, so by your logic, does that mean any supplies on the street belong to you the second you walk past them?

“And you’ve actually got the nerve to demand our goose too. I’m impressed you can even say that with a straight face. Military base? More like a gang of bandits. You might as well just admit this is robbery instead of hiding behind a fancy label. It’s honestly pathetic.”

The man’s expression darkened at once. In his mind, they had already made a huge concession, and yet the other side still refused to appreciate it. That made him look ridiculous in front of his own people.

“I’m warning you not to be ungrateful!”

He pointed at Cotton in Robin’s arms. “More and more people are awakening abilities now. Our military base has a dedicated research institute studying the origin of abilities so humanity can benefit from them.

“This is the first time we’ve seen an animal with an ability. If we take the goose back to the institute, it could become a perfect experimental specimen. I know the goose belongs to you, but right now all of humanity shares the same fate. In the face of a disaster like this, anything can be sacrificed for the greater good of mankind. So you’d better not be so selfish.”

Robin actually started clapping.

“That’s a pretty impressive moral high ground you’ve built for yourself.” Her smile was cold. “I heard every word you people said downstairs. You were talking about how you wanted to eat him. Now suddenly it’s about benefiting humanity?”

She tilted her head slightly. “Do you have an ability yourself?”

The man immediately raised his chin again, proud as ever. “Of course I do.”

One of his lackeys behind him jumped in at once, face full of eager flattery. “Our captain has an extremely destructive lightning ability! You probably don’t even know how rare lightning abilities are, do you?

“In our entire military base, only three people have lightning abilities. Our captain is one of them!” That bootlicking landed perfectly. The man’s mouth curved higher and higher, his eyes full of contempt.

“Lightning ability…” Robin’s expression turned strange.

She couldn’t help glancing at the others beside her. Their expressions all turned a little subtle. “And only three people in your whole base have it?”

“That’s right!” the lackey pressed on proudly. “So you’d better not force our captain to make a move, or the consequences will be more than you can handle!”

Dane coughed lightly. “Honestly, I have no idea how you can say that so proudly. Only three lightning users in your entire base…” He clicked his tongue. “That suddenly makes your base sound kind of trash.”

The others standing behind Robin found themselves nodding in full agreement.

After all, most of them had originally planned to head for Redwood Military Base. They’d assumed that since it was a military base, it would naturally be packed with powerful people.

But now…
