Chapter 546 - 555: Hunter Night’s Request

Chapter 546: Chapter 555: Hunter Night’s Request

Upon hearing this, Stella Sterling glanced at him.

She wasn’t particularly surprised, though.

In her past life, she hadn’t known much about the affairs between the major bases.

But thinking about it, if Sanctyr Base had already developed Human Body Warriors now, their technology would only become more advanced in the years to come. It wasn’t strange that they also had Human Body Warriors.

Andrew Shaw still looked shocked. "I can’t believe it. Sanctyr Base has already developed Human Body Warriors at this stage. Miles Sanctus really is something else!"

"And it looks like these combat monsters with off-the-charts power were first developed at Sanctyr Base."

"But from your description, the Human Body Warriors you saw sound a lot weaker than the ones I know about!"

"They were just recently developed. The technology isn’t mature yet. Isn’t that normal?"

Stella Sterling replied calmly.

Andrew Shaw thought about it and figured that made sense.

After all, today’s technology couldn’t possibly compare to the technology of ten or twenty years in the future.

At that moment, Stella Sterling thought of something else.

Black Swan had spoken to her a few days ago. She had mentioned the group of cyborg soldiers she encountered that day, as well as the Human Body Warriors she saw with Caleb Xavier.

Black Swan stated that the things at Sanctyr Base that day were indeed formidable, but compared to the Human Body Warriors they had run into before, they were significantly weaker.

The batch from Sanctyr Base was tough, but not unbeatable.

They were just better fighters than ordinary people, and because they didn’t feel pain, they were more troublesome to deal with. But given enough time, it wasn’t impossible to find a weak point.

But the group that had caused them to suffer such a major defeat was much, much stronger.

They were similarly grotesque monsters, but those ones also possessed special abilities that were impossible to defend against.

When she heard Black Swan say this, the suspicion she already held in her heart became a certainty.

’Caleb Xavier has definitely been reborn. And he was likely reborn quite some time ago. He has also researched these Human Body Warriors, and his technology is even more mature than Sanctyr Base’s.’

’Therefore, the products of his research are even more powerful.’

’If that’s the case, I’ll have to put some serious thought into how to deal with him.’

Noticing that Andrew Shaw was calling her name, Stella Sterling pulled back from her thoughts.

She looked over at him. "In your past life, when you died, was Caleb Xavier dead?"

’If Caleb Xavier was reborn, that means the future Caleb Xavier must have died. But how did he die? If he was so powerful, who could have possibly killed him?’

’Was it a natural disaster, or something else?’

Andrew Shaw didn’t understand. They were clearly talking about Miles Sanctus, so why did this woman suddenly bring up Caleb Xavier?

But intimidated by Stella Sterling’s oppressive aura, he didn’t dare to voice any dissatisfaction and said directly, "Of course not. Someone as powerful as Caleb Xavier... unless he died in some accidental natural disaster, I can’t imagine anyone being able to kill him!"

"Oh, wait. Maybe Joey and Miles Sanctus have that kind of power, but the three of them had no grievances or enmity with each other. There was no need for any one of them to deal a killing blow to another!"

"When I died, not only was Caleb Xavier not dead, he was alive and well. And I’m guessing he’s still alive now."

"Is that so?"

Stella Sterling murmured, her fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel. Her expression was unreadable.

If she hadn’t gotten this information from Black Swan, after hearing Andrew Shaw’s words, she would have reached the same conclusion as him.

’But now, I’m certain Caleb Xavier has been reborn.’

’As for what Andrew Shaw said, just because Caleb wasn’t dead when he died doesn’t mean Caleb didn’t die later.’

’Besides, the timeline of rebirth is often chaotic anyway.’

’It’s not impossible that Caleb Xavier died after Andrew Shaw but was reborn before him.’

As for who killed Caleb Xavier, Stella couldn’t decide for the moment.

She had considered Gordon Ford, but just as Andy said, Gordon Ford had no reason to kill Caleb Xavier. So for now, it was all just her own speculation.

After driving through the mountain road, Stella Sterling’s car reached a deserted highway.

The people from Caeluna Base, along with those who were to follow her back to the Caeluna Base headquarters this time, were all waiting for her here.

What Stella Sterling didn’t expect, however, was to see Hunter Night here.

Stella Sterling got out of the car and greeted him.

He looked at the somewhat unfamiliar face before him, still a little amazed. He called out tentatively, "Miss Sterling?"

Although he had already suspected that this incomparably beautiful woman was very likely the dark, thin woman from before.

But it had all just been speculation; he couldn’t be sure.

Stella Sterling smiled and nodded at him, not denying her identity.

Seeing her readily admit it, Hunter Night grew excited.

His gaze then fell upon the woman before him, filled with amazement and adoration.

’How incredible!’

’This woman is simply amazing. Thinking about what happened at Sanctyr Base that day still makes me feel like I’m in a daze.’

’Someone like her... thankfully, we never made an enemy of her before. Otherwise, if she wanted to wipe out our Three Tigers Corps, it would be effortless.’

But...

Hunter Night’s expression instantly darkened.

’The Three Tigers Corps now is no different from being wiped out.’

The two brothers he’d brought to Sanctyr Base hadn’t made it out, and he himself would have died there too if Miss Sterling hadn’t rescued him.

After getting out, most of his brothers from the Three Tigers Corps had died in the earthquake. Only a few survived.

"Are you here to see me about something?"

Seeing him suddenly fall silent, Stella Sterling prompted him.

’We’re some distance from Veridia right now, but he’s suddenly appeared here. He must want to ask me for something.’

’Considering he was decent enough before and even took the initiative to help me at Sanctyr Base...’

’...as long as his request isn’t too outrageous, I don’t mind helping him.’

Hearing Stella Sterling’s voice, Hunter Night snapped out of his sorrowful mood.

He looked at Stella Sterling and suddenly knelt before her.

Stella Sterling frowned slightly. ’These people all seem to love kneeling.’

However, Hunter Night quickly stood back up.

He looked at Stella Sterling and said pleadingly, "Miss Sterling, my brothers and I want to join Caeluna Base. I hope you can grant our request."

Hearing this, Stella Sterling was a little surprised. "Why?"
