Chapter 322 An Old Face
Then why haven’t I ever heard of this in her past life?
Donald cleared his throat, lifting his chin as he spoke to a nearby guard. “Yout, go report to the base commander. We really brought back a big shot this time!”
He didn’t even need to say it.
The moment those two armored vehicles pulled up downstairs, they’d already drawn attention.
“No need.”
A man’s voice came from the turn in the stairwell.
Robin’s group looked over. A middle–aged man stepped out, surrounded by about eight people.

He looked around 40 or 50. Even in the apocalypse, his hair was neatly combed, his expression calm and approachable.
Henry narrowed his eyes.
There was something familiar about Rolf Pearson. A businessman’s aura.
Before the apocalypse, they’d probably been the same kind of people.
Rolf’s gaze swept across the group without drawing attention, and he smiled. “The people who came back earlier already told me. They found two armored vehicles at Ravenholt High. At that moment, I knew a real powerhouse must’ve shown up.
“And sure enough, now those vehicles are parked right outside our base. That means the big shot is here, so of course, I had to come down and greet you myself.”
As he spoke, he reached out to Henry. “You must be the big shot they mentioned.
“My name’s Rolf Pearson. Just call me Rolf.”
Henry raised a brow.
Donald hurried to explain, “Rolf, y–you’ve got it wrong!”
He glanced nervously at Dane, afraid of setting him off. “This one, Mr. Dane Bone. He’s the boss!”
Rolf blinked. “I got it wrong?”

He looks young, but there’s something about him that stands out…
Henry smiled without warmth. “You did get it wrong. I’m not that expert.”
Rolf looked embarrassed and shot Donald a glare. “My apologies, I can’t believe I made a mistake like that.

Mr. Bone, please don’t hold it against me.”

He turned to Donald. “You brought them back and didn’t even bother introducing them properly.”
Donald forced a bitter smile. “Sorry, that’s on me. Don’t worry, Rolf. I won’t make a mistake like that again.”
Rolf ignored him and turned back. “Mr. Bone, nice to meet you.”
Dane gave a dry laugh. “We showed up uninvited and made you come down to greet us. That’s on us.”
Seeing how smoothly he handled it, Rolf’s smile widened.

Still, he waved it off. “Not at all. Tyrant Base always welcomes strong people. It’s only right.”
He turned, a hint of curiosity in his gaze. “And these are?”
His eyes landed on Sharon, a strange smile curling at his lips. “Abigail… didn’t expect to see you up after all these years.”
Out of sight, Abigail clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles went white.
The base commander of Tyrant Base…is him!
Sharon looked surprised. “You know him?”
Abigail snapped back, forcing every bit of strength she had to steady her voice.
Under Rolf’s gaze, she said each word slowly, “I do.
“He’s someone I met when I was a kid.
“He’s also my dad’s…friend.”
“Your dad’s friend?”
Abigail’s reaction was clearly off, but this wasn’t the time to press.
Sharon hesitated, then just nodded. “I see.”
Robin’s gaze moved quietly between them,
