Chapter 517: Chapter 526: Do You Like This Gift?

Miles Sanctus wore a confident and cruel smile.

Seeing his expression, the leaders of the smaller factions below felt a stir of fear.

Some who had originally wanted to leave didn’t dare make a move now, and everyone sat back down.

They couldn’t help but curse inwardly. ’Who in the world is it? Who’s so bold as to cause trouble for Sanctyr Base?’

’And of all times, it had to be while we were here. Aren’t they just making things difficult for us?’

Seeing Miles Sanctus’s dark expression, they were terrified. Now, they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, afraid that a single wrong move would draw his anger upon them.

One by one, they could only sit in their seats, not daring to make a sound.

Miles Sanctus watched them. Seeing their obedient demeanor, a flicker of satisfaction crossed his face.

He said coolly, "Everyone, just wait here with me for a moment. Some small fry have shown up, wanting to challenge the authority of my Sanctyr Base. They’ll be dealt with shortly. Once they are, we’ll continue!"

"In a moment, you’ll all get to see just what happens to these small fry."

As he spoke, Miles Sanctus began to laugh. The crowd below could only follow suit, but their smiles were strained.

’How could they not understand? This Boss Saint was also using this to warn them!’

’He was using the fate of these troublemakers to caution them, to make sure they wouldn’t dare harbor any rebellious ideas.’

At that moment, even though many of them were disgruntled, they didn’t dare to show it.

Zane Xavier was sitting with Hunter Night and the others, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

’Sanctyr Base has always been peaceful. Why would something like this happen today?’

’Who, who could be so bold?!’

He suddenly recalled the figure he’d seen earlier, the one who looked so much like Miss Sterling.

His heart began to pound violently.

’Miss Sterling wouldn’t appear inside Sanctyr Base for no reason. Could it be... that she’s the one behind this?’

At this thought, a cold sweat broke out on his palms, and he could no longer remain calm.

’If it really is Miss Sterling, then what should I do?’

’Sanctyr Base is no simple place. What Miss Sterling is doing is too impulsive, barging right into their territory to cause trouble.’

’If she falls into Sanctyr Base’s hands, even if Boss Saint had a special interest in her before, I’m afraid he won’t let her off easily this time!’

Zane Xavier started to grow restless, worrying about Stella Sterling.

He even began to consider how he would save Miss Sterling if she really did fall into the hands of Sanctyr Base.

"Brother Xavier, are you all right?"

Hunter Night lowered his voice, looking at Zane Xavier. His expression was really off.

Recalling that Zane had just said he was feeling a bit unwell, Hunter Night grew worried.

’Things were almost over, but now with this incident, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave the base for a while. I just don’t know if Brother Xavier’s body can handle it.’

Hearing Hunter Night’s voice, Zane Xavier tensed.

’I’m still right under Sanctyr’s nose,’ he suddenly remembered. ’My reaction just now was too obvious.’ He immediately reined in his thoughts, trying his best to look normal.

He shook his head at Hunter Night. "I’m fine. It’s just that unwell feeling came back again. I don’t know what’s wrong!"

"Just hang in there, Brother Xavier. Looking at the situation, we won’t be able to leave for a while."

Hunter Night said comfortingly. In a situation like this, there was nothing he could do either.

Zane Xavier nodded. Out of Hunter Night’s line of sight, his expression toward his companion was complicated.

’If Miss Sterling is really captured, I will definitely find a way to save her.’

’But when that time comes, I’m afraid the members of the Three Tigers Corps will inevitably be implicated, and that’s not something I want to see.’

Zane Xavier couldn’t help but sigh internally.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Several more violent explosions rang out. This time, they were even more powerful than before, and much closer to their position.

This time, even their bodies shook from the force.

Some of the people who had just managed to calm down panicked once again.

’Something’s wrong. Something is very wrong today!’

’Is someone really attacking Sanctyr Base? The fighting has already reached us.’

Many of them started to grow restless. If Miles Sanctus weren’t still standing guard here, they really would have turned tail and run.

They had no desire to stay at Sanctyr Base and get dragged into its affairs.

But looking at the grim-faced Miles Sanctus in the distance, they could only suppress the panic in their hearts.

Miles Sanctus’s face was as black as thunder. He had thought it was just a few small fry.

But he never expected that after all this time, his men in the base still hadn’t dealt with them. Instead, they had let them cause an even bigger incident.

’How incompetent are these people!!!’

Miles Sanctus’s gaze darkened as he, too, realized something was wrong.

With an incident like this, Sanctyr Base’s security system should have activated long ago, but there was still no sign of it.

It was clear their control room had been compromised.

The people who had infiltrated the base were no simpletons; they had come prepared today.

They might have even chosen a day like this specifically to tarnish Sanctyr Base’s prestige in front of all these minor faction leaders.

Miles Sanctus sneered. No matter how capable these people were, he would make sure they wouldn’t leave here alive today.

Once he captured them, he would punish them severely in front of these faction leaders. That would certainly serve as a deterrent.

Then, when these people left, they wouldn’t dare say a word, and the prestige of his Sanctyr Base would be preserved.

But just at that moment, another massive explosion roared.

This time, the blast came from directly above them. Their vision suddenly brightened, and dust rained down.

Looking up, they saw the grand hall had become an open-air pavilion. The ceiling was gone.

The entire upper portion of the hall had just been blown away.

They were now exposed to the open sky. A blanket of dust descended, forcing everyone to stand up, cover their mouths and noses, and cough uncontrollably.

"We meet again, Boss Saint. What do you think? Do you like the gift I brought you today?"

The voice arrived before its owner. Hearing the familiar sound, Miles Sanctus’s eyes widened slightly as he looked toward its source.

There, standing on a blasted-open section of the wall, was Stella Sterling. She was leisurely looking down at the crowd below.

She wore a wicked grin, her eyes fixed directly on Miles Sanctus.

Hearing the voice, everyone else looked up as well. Astonishment flashed in their eyes as they saw the person standing above.
