Apocalypse Rebirth: Crazy from Day One

Chapter 524: Chapter 533: Seeing Evan Sterling Again

Selene Larkin, who had just calmed down, suddenly became agitated.

She struggled violently and charged toward Stella Sterling. "It’s you! It was you—"

"Our boss was kind enough to let you go last time and didn’t hold a grudge, but you repaid his kindness with hatred! You actually brought people to attack our Sanctyr Base! Stella Sterling, I’ll kill you!"

At that moment, Selene Larkin’s anger reached its peak.

Even though Stella Sterling had seemed so powerful before, deep down, Selene had always felt a sense of superiority when facing her.

As the second-in-command of Sanctyr Base, she believed there was no way Stella Sterling could compare to her.

’Even if she has a powerful backer, I doubt they’re as strong as our Sanctyr Base.’

’Besides, the only reason she could act so arrogantly was because the boss liked her.’

’But the boss’s affection for her was just a means to an end. He wanted to take over her faction.’

’It’s not like the pure, sibling-like friendship we have.’

So, even though she had been forced to bow her head to Stella Sterling that day, she didn’t believe Stella could actually walk all over her.

For days, she had been fantasizing about the moment the boss finally took Stella down, when Stella Sterling would lose the support of her faction.

She was determined to humiliate her severely.

This fantasy was the only thing that had comforted her and quelled the anger and bitterness she felt from that day.

But she never expected their next meeting to be under these circumstances.

Her beloved Sanctyr Base, a source of immense pride, had suddenly fallen into a bizarre state. And right then, Stella Sterling had appeared with her people, wrecked their base, and had her captured by her subordinates.

Compared to last time, her current situation in front of Stella was even more humiliating.

The mere thought of it made Selene Larkin feel like her heart would explode.

’This shouldn’t be happening. It really shouldn’t be like this.’

She resisted so fiercely that, caught off guard, the two Caeluna Base members actually let her break free.

Seeing Selene Larkin run toward their Sterling, the two men’s faces filled with regret and panic as they rushed to grab her again.

Stella Sterling looked over at Selene Larkin, her gaze calm.

Even as the other woman charged at her with a ferocious expression, Stella Sterling’s face remained impassive. She simply watched her calmly.

Before Selene Larkin could even reach her, the two members from Caeluna Base caught her and pinned her down firmly.

The two Caeluna Base members apologized to Stella Sterling. "Sterling, our apologies! It was our mistake!"

Stella Sterling looked at them. "Be a little gentler with the lady. Don’t be so rough."

"Yes, Sterling!"

The two men nodded and loosened their grip slightly, allowing Selene Larkin to lift her head.

But because of their earlier lapse, they didn’t dare be careless this time. Though their grip was looser, they kept a close watch on her.

They would absolutely not give her a second chance to break free.

The thought of almost letting this woman break free and run at Sterling filled the two men with lingering fear.

’If anyone else from the base found out about our negligence, they’d tear us a new one.’

Although Selene Larkin couldn’t move, she glared at Stella Sterling with a face full of rage.

She was also filled with confusion. ’Why would Stella Sterling do this?’

’Last time, the boss treated her so well. She caused so much trouble, yet he didn’t pursue the matter and just let her go.’

’From the way she acted then, she didn’t seem to hate the boss, either. So why would she suddenly lead an attack on our base?’

Seeing the other woman’s angry and confused expression, Stella Sterling had no intention of explaining herself.

She glanced at Miles Sanctus and frowned.

His current reaction was too placid, abnormally so.

’Could it be that he still has another move to play?’

Miles Sanctus had now completely regained his composure, even wearing a slight smile. "Miss Sterling, I have to say, you’ve truly surprised me. But you don’t really think my Sanctyr Base can be taken over so easily, do you?"

His gaze remained fixed on Stella Sterling.

As for Selene Larkin, he merely glanced at her a few times before looking away, showing no reaction to her pathetic state.

Hearing his words, Stella Sterling wasn’t surprised. Instead, a flash of excitement appeared in her eyes. She replied cheerfully, "If Boss Saint has another trick up his sleeve, feel free to use it. I’d love to see what it is!"

Selene Larkin, who had been furious just a moment ago, seemed to remember something when she heard her boss speak. Her eyes lit up.

She slowly calmed down.

’The boss is reacting like this... could it be that the experiments were a success?’

At this moment, the leaders of the smaller factions were also very curious.

Given the resources of Sanctyr Base, it was only natural for them to have a few aces up their sleeve.

’So, is Sanctyr Base finally going to reveal its true trump card?’

While they were expectant and shocked, they also couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

’It’s unbelievable. This woman managed to push Sanctyr Base to this point with just a handful of people.’

’Forcing them to play their hidden trump card, even!’

Just then, Miles Sanctus began to laugh. He looked in a certain direction and said, "Dr. Quinn, you’ve finally arrived!"

Seeing his reaction, everyone followed his gaze.

They then saw a tall man walking toward them with a smile on his face.

Trailing behind him were more than a dozen people.

The leaders of the smaller factions frowned at the sight. ’So this is the source of Miles Sanctus’s confidence?’

’What good can a dozen or so people do? All of Sanctyr Base’s members have already been dealt with!’

’Even if these dozen people have weapons, it won’t be enough to change the current situation.’

But soon, everyone noticed something was off and stared intently at the group of people behind the man.

"Something’s wrong. I have a bad feeling about them!"

"You’re right. Their eyes are devoid of any human emotion, like machines!"

"Look! Their hands, hidden under their clothes... do they look mechanical? Am I seeing things?"

Staring at them, everyone began voicing their suspicions.

Stella Sterling also looked over. She raised an eyebrow when she saw the newcomer. ’Evan Sterling. It’s Evan Sterling.’

’So he really did escape back to Sanctyr Base.’

Then Stella Sterling’s gaze shifted to the people behind Evan Sterling, and her eyes narrowed.

At a glance, they looked almost normal, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that while they might be called human, they weren’t entirely so anymore.

Except for their faces, which still looked normal, the rest of their bodies were covered in a layer of mechanical armor.

And their eyes held no light at all, making them look like mechanical puppets.

’So these are the products of that experiment Sanctyr Base has been working on?’
