“I understand.” Autumn nodded. “That explains why they’ve been targeting us.”

“Without satellites, every shelter is cut off from the rest. The central shelter has been watching us for quite some time. After the tsunami, they definitely won’t let us remain independent,” Leonel said gravely. “Autumn, we should probably unite and stand against the central shelter together.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone approached them. “Mr. Wright, Mr. Asher, Scott wants to meet with you.”

Leonel and Autumn exchanged a glance, silently understanding each other before following the messenger.

Along the way, they bumped into Beckett. It was obvious Scott had summoned him as well.

Clearly, all three influential leaders had reached the same conclusion.

The arrival of the central shelter’s people was far from good news.

The moment Autumn and the others entered, Scott dismissed everyone else, making it obvious he wanted this discussion to stay confidential.

Beckett also raised a hand and instructed the attendant behind him to remain outside.

Leonel stayed silent.

Autumn was never truly anyone’s assistant in the first place.

Scott and Beckett both considered that perfectly natural.

“Everyone, whether Karthmoor survives or falls depends on what happens over the next few days,” Scott said. “I’ll get straight to the point. The people from the central shelter are already on their way. I’m sure all of you know that. They’ll arrive in less than two days. As for their purpose, I don’t think I need to explain it. Even if I haven’t always been a decent man, I still have my pride. I refuse to lower myself and become someone else’s puppet.

“Karthmoor shelter no longer exists. Fewer than a million survivors remain. I owe those people an answer,” Scott said. “I don’t know what the two of you have decided or whether you intend to join the central shelter, but I won’t.”

“Neither will I,” Beckett replied without hesitation. “No one understands their intentions better than I do. The central shelter has resources, but it lacks weapons. They’ve been eyeing my

armory. If I surrender it, I’d be a complete fool. Throughout history, what commander has ever ended well after handing over military authority? Besides, the central shelter isn’t even an official government. It’s private territory. Why should I submit to them? What would that make me?”

Leonel nodded. “I’m only a businessman, but I have no interest in serving someone else either, much less becoming their personal blood source.”

Scott smiled slightly. “So both of you agree that our three factions should unite?”

Leonel and Beckett exchanged a glance. Then Leonel asked, “I have no objection to joining forces. But if we do, someone has to lead. The three of us can’t continue giving separate orders and managing our own groups. If that’s the case, there would be no point in merging.”

Beckett nodded. “I agree. So among the three of us, who should take command?”

Leonel looked at Beckett, then at Scott, before saying firmly, “I nominate Autumn.”

Those words immediately stirred the atmosphere in the room.

Autumn never expected the discussion to turn toward her. She stared in surprise and pointed at herself. “Me?”

“Yes, you.” Leonel looked completely serious. “Nobody is more qualified than you.”

He faced Beckett and Scott before saying solemnly, “The three of us can all be replaced. Autumn can’t. I believe both of you know exactly how valuable she is.”

Scott was the first to respond and nodded right away. “Exactly. She’s the most suitable person.”

Beckett also understood. “That’s true. I trust him completely. But hold on, isn’t he Mr. Asher? Why are you calling him Autumn?”

Scott immediately laughed out loud.

That cunning man had already uncovered Autumn’s true identity long ago. Beckett was the only clueless one who still had no idea.

Autumn laughed as well. “Let me introduce myself properly. I’m Autumn, and I’m a female.”

Beckett’s eyes slowly grew wider before he quickly turned toward Autumn, carefully examining her from head to toe until his gaze settled on her throat.

Right.
