Rolf’s eyelids twitched, For the first time, he couldn’t tell if bringing these people into his base hart been a good idea or a disaster.
“You’ve got some nerve!“.
A woman who had been standing behind Jack stepped forward, her face dark. “Do you have any idea what happens when you piss off Vernon Base?”
Even with gun barrels pointed at her, Ella didn’t flinch.
Guns?
Please.
We have armored vehicles parked right here. If Vernon Base thinks they’re the only ones with weapons, they’re kidding themselves.
“You started it. If you run your mouth, you get hit. That’s on you, not us.”
Ella sneered, “And honestly, I went easy. Otherwise, your so–called leader wouldn’t be breathing right now.”
“Watch it!”
The woman snapped off the safety.
“Everyone from Vernon Base, I suggest you don’t act fashly.”
Martin spoke at that moment, calm and steady.
A wave of clicks followed, clean and in sync.
Redwood Military Base had drawn their guns too, all aimed at Vernon Base.
And the pressure they gave off was on a completely different level.
This wasn’t supposed to be a firefight. They were here to take the granary together.
The situation teetered on the edge of chaos. The smaller base commanders were already sweating.
They’d heard Redwood Military Base was strong, but now they saw it. They had guns too.
The woman’s expression hardened. “Redwood Base, so you’re picking sides already?”
“Not exactly.”
Martin lowered his gaze, running a hand along the barrel of his gun. His voice stayed calm. “We don’t have a habit of sticking our noses where they don’t belong. But one thing she said is right.”
He looked up, a cold edge flashing in his eyes. “If someone runs their mouth, they get hit. That’s just
common sense.

“This isn’t Vernon Base. No one here is obligated to pamper one of yours. You started it, and people fought bark: What’s strange about that?”
After that. Vernon Base had nothing to say.
But they still couldn’t swallow this humillation.
Ella’s move had dragged their pride through the dirt.
“Damn it…”
Behind them, several people struggled to pull Jack out of the dented vehicle.
Jack clutched his chest, gasping. That kick felt like it had cracked ribs.
“Hah…very well…”
His eyes burned as he stared at them, then snapped toward Erin. “So this is it? You’ve really decided to stand against us?”
Erin didn’t answer. Her gaze dropped to his chest, and a faint smile tugged at her lips.
Right over his spotless white coat, there was now a clear black footprint.
Against the white, it stood out even more, making him look ridiculous.
Following her gaze, Jack looked down. His face twisted.
That mark wasn’t just on his clothes.
It might as well have been stamped across his face.
He yanked off the coat and scanned his own people, pointing at one. “You. Give me your clothes!”
“Uh…”
“I said, give it to me!”
The man hesitated, then reluctantly started taking it off.
Before he even finished, Jack threw his own coat at him and ripped the other one free, hurriedly buttoning
it up.
