Chapter 521: Chapter 530: Domineering

Stella Sterling was very pleased with her own proposal.

’See how simple things are? As long as Miles Sanctus gives up his position as leader, everything can be resolved peacefully.’

’I won’t have to attack the people of Sanctyr Base, saving us from a major battle.’

’It’s good for Sanctyr Base, and it’s good for me!’

Although Sanctyr Base was rotten to the core and many of its members were used to acting arrogantly.

But that didn’t matter. Once she became their leader, she would naturally whip this base back into shape.

She would discipline these members anew.

When the time comes, Aethel Base in her hands would naturally be nothing like it was before.

’See? I was right. I really am considerate. I didn’t come to attack Sanctyr Base; I obviously came to save it.’

Upon hearing Stella Sterling’s words, she was the only one in the crowd with an excited expression. Everyone else’s was... complicated.

But in that moment, they all fell into a unified silence.

These were all shrewd people who had clawed their way through the apocalypse. They had seen their fair share of turmoil.

But after hearing Stella Sterling’s declaration, they found themselves rendered utterly speechless.

’This woman has some nerve, telling Miles Sanctus to just hand over his position as ruler of Sanctyr Base.’

’If it were us, we wouldn’t dare to dream of such a thing!’

Yet, she said it right to Miles Sanctus’s face.

This woman was something else.

Zane Xavier’s mouth twitched nonstop. He’d only been with his new leader for a few days.

But he was discovering that he didn’t know her at all.

He had never seen such an arrogant and shameless side to her.

’What now?’

’I think I’m starting to like this kind of master.’

The men from the Three Tigers Corps were even more surprised. They hadn’t had much contact with Miss Sterling, but she was always a woman of few words when they were together. They had assumed she was a rather cold person, but with a good heart.

But what they just heard completely shattered their impression of her.

’Is this domineering, shamelessly entitled Miss Sterling really the same one we knew before?’

’The difference is just too great.’

In that moment, they all broke out in a cold sweat for Miss Sterling.

’Miss Sterling is being so brazen right now. Her strength had better be enough to deal with Miles Sanctus’s retaliation. Otherwise, if she falls into his hands, given what she just did, her fate will be a miserable one.’

Hunter Night lowered his voice and asked Zane Xavier, who was standing beside him, "Is Miss Sterling always like this?"

"I have no idea."

Zane Xavier shook his head slightly. He hadn’t known Miss Sterling for long, either. In fact, he had spent more time with the men from the Three Tigers Corps.

So, he didn’t really know what she was truly like.

’But based on the current situation, it’s clear I never truly understood Miss Sterling before.’

Seeing Miles Sanctus’s silence after her proposal, Stella Sterling chuckled. "Why the silence, Boss Saint? Don’t you like my proposal? I’m giving you a chance. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!"

"Ha, ha-ha-ha—"

At this, Miles Sanctus burst into a wild, unrestrained laugh.

’Now I see. Stella Sterling has no intention of negotiating.’

’Which is perfect, since I didn’t either. I was just trying to stall for time.’

’But since she won’t show me any respect and is only getting more and more unreasonable...’

’In that case, let’s just get this over with.’

Miles Sanctus spoke coldly to the members of the smaller factions, "Go and capture her for me. Whoever captures her or kills her on the spot will be handsomely rewarded!"

The expressions on those people’s faces changed. They hadn’t expected Miles Sanctus to suddenly drag them into this.

Their eyes darted around, their faces turning ugly.

This woman had single-handedly caused such a ruckus; her abilities were clearly not to be underestimated. The fact that Sanctyr Base’s own people hadn’t caught her yet was further proof that she was no simple character.

’How could we be her match?’

But when they heard "handsomely rewarded," some were still tempted.

’The woman is right here, and she doesn’t seem to have anyone with her. With so many of us, if we all rush her at once, we might actually be able to capture her.’

Immediately, a few people charged toward Stella Sterling.

Others were still hesitating, but with Miles Sanctus’s order, they had to act, even if they were unwilling. Otherwise, Miles Sanctus would surely hold them accountable later, and they wouldn’t survive.

"Boss, what do we do?"

Hunter Night’s two subordinates looked at him with worry and conflict.

’If we didn’t know who this woman was, we could at least pretend to attack her.’

’But this is Miss Sterling. She’s done us a favor. We can’t bring ourselves to attack her.’

Hunter Night had a massive headache. He didn’t want to fight Miss Sterling, but he also didn’t want to blatantly defy Miles Sanctus.

Just as he was agonizing over it, the unexpected happened.

The first people who charged at Stella Sterling began to drop, one by one. Before anyone could react, they were all on the ground.

People looked over and saw two women. Each held a machine gun, spraying the attackers with a hail of bullets. RAT-TAT-TAT.

They had taken out all the people rushing Stella Sterling.

This sent a chill down the spines of those who had been walking behind. They all took several steps back, not daring to move forward another inch.

’Their firepower is insane! We don’t have weapons or protection. Rushing them would be suicide.’

So, some of them started yelling at Miles Sanctus, "Boss Saint, have your own people attack! They have guns! Where are your weapons!"

This was their turf, and they had heavy weaponry. Why were their own people not fighting, instead making them charge ahead? Weren’t they just being sent to their deaths?

And after all this time, hadn’t anyone else from Sanctyr Base noticed something was wrong? How come no reinforcements had arrived?

"Sterling, we have the situation mostly under control. Anyone who put up fierce resistance has been eliminated!"

"As for the residents of Sanctyr Base, they’ve all been gathered in one place and are awaiting your instructions!"

Black Swan and Seven Locke walked up to Stella Sterling’s side, grinning. Their faces were flushed with excitement.

They had expected a fierce battle today, but everything had gone smoother than they could have ever predicted.
