Chapter 390: Chapter 400: Coincidentally Related

As he said this, Felix Lawrence’s gaze dimmed for a moment.

But he quickly composed himself.

He said helplessly, "But for me, neither possibility is very likely right now. The first is difficult, and as for the second... for my strength to surpass the power backing him, well, that’s next to impossible."

"All I can do now is wait for an opportunity, or think of some other way!"

Hearing this, Stella Sterling’s interest was piqued. ’It seems this River Larkin has had some good fortune these past few years.’

’He actually found a powerful organization to back him up.’

And connecting this to what Felix Lawrence had said earlier, Stella Sterling thought, ’He probably got this opportunity because he betrayed everyone.’

"What faction did he join?"

Hearing Stella Sterling’s question, Felix Lawrence gave her a somewhat strange look.

’Miss Sterling suddenly seems quite interested in this person.’

He shook his head. "Sanctyr Base. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, Miss Sterling. The base is quite far from Mirefall, so you might not know, but around here, it’s an absolute powerhouse."

"It’s the biggest base in this area. River Larkin joined Sanctyr Base."

"He doesn’t hold a very important position there, but as things stand, he’s still not someone I can deal with."

At this thought, he shook his head. ’I keep thinking about revenge, revenge, revenge.’

’But with such a powerful faction behind that man, getting revenge on River Larkin is easier said than done.’

’But I have to give myself a goal, a driving force. Otherwise, I’d have no reason to keep living.’

The thought of Sanctyr Base behind River Larkin filled him with a profound sense of helplessness, but at the same time, it gave him a powerful motivation.

’Success depends on human effort.’

’Although, the idea of making an enemy of Sanctyr Base sounds ridiculous.’

’But in this apocalypse, there are too many variables. It’s cruel, but it’s also full of opportunities.’

’Who can say what the future holds?’

After saying this, Felix Lawrence gave a bitter laugh. He didn’t notice the strange expression on Stella Sterling’s face.

He was still talking: "That River Larkin has also been trying to find a way to kill me. But I’ve hidden myself well for over a year. He thinks I’m no longer in Veridia, that I’ve already left, which is why he hasn’t made another move against me."

"And that’s my chance. Right now, he’s in the open, and I’m in the shadows. Who knows, maybe one day he’ll fall right into my hands."

"Of course, with my current strength, if he finds out I’m still here, it will be a huge problem for me."

"So, Miss Sterling, what I told you just now wasn’t a lie. I’m not afraid of trouble. After all, I’ve already offended Sanctyr Base. There’s not much else to be scared of. At worst, I have nothing left to lose."

At this, he glanced at Stella Sterling, a bit embarrassed. "On the contrary, it’s you I’m worried about. It’s fine if they don’t find me, but once they do, the people from Sanctyr Base won’t let me go."

"And I’m afraid you’ll be dragged into this because of me. Thinking about it now, I was a bit thoughtless earlier. Even though I’ve hidden well these past two years, you can never be too careful."

’I haven’t been discovered for over a year, which is why I didn’t think of this just now.’

’But this is a ticking time bomb. If I accidentally expose myself, won’t Miss Sterling get implicated?’

He started to feel a pang of regret.

He quickly changed his tune, "I was being inconsiderate. I’ll have someone arrange a new place for you to stay."

"No need. I’ll stay at your place."

Stella Sterling shook her head.

Felix Lawrence grew anxious. "Miss Sterling, you haven’t been around Veridia before, so you don’t know how powerful Sanctyr Base is. You’re very strong, but your roots aren’t here. If you clash with them, I’m afraid it will bring you a great deal of trouble."

"No, I know."

Stella Sterling chuckled softly. "Not long ago, I had dealings with Miles Sanctus of Sanctyr Base."

At these words, Felix Lawrence’s eyes widened.

"You’ve probably heard about The Apocalypse Summit recently. We met and clashed there."

Hearing this, Felix Lawrence’s heart began to pound with excitement again.

He had no idea how strong the base under Stella Sterling’s command was. Even though he felt she must be quite powerful, he had never seen it with his own eyes nor heard any rumors, so he had no real concept of it.

But now, hearing Stella Sterling’s words...

...the strength of the base she commanded began to take a concrete form in his mind.

’Just being able to attend The Apocalypse Summit means they’re powerful.’

’And then to be able to clash with Sanctyr Base and come out of it completely unscathed...’

That alone spoke volumes.

’The base Miss Sterling founded is probably far, far stronger than I ever imagined.’

’If that’s the case, then she really has no reason to fear Sanctyr Base.’

At that moment, a thousand thoughts flashed through Felix Lawrence’s mind.

The way he looked at Stella Sterling changed several times.

But in the end, his expression slowly returned to calm.

’If Stella Sterling really is this powerful,’ for a split second, he wanted to ask for her help.

’With her help, dealing with River Larkin should be much easier.’

’After all, River Larkin isn’t an important figure in Sanctyr Base.’

’With Miss Sterling’s status and position, she probably wouldn’t even have to do anything herself.’

’Just by having a word with the leader of Sanctyr Base, River Larkin’s life would probably be forfeit.’

But in the end, he swallowed those words and didn’t let them out.

’It’s true Miss Sterling and I are old friends, but what right do I have to ask for such a favor?’

’This whole affair has nothing to do with her.’

’There’s absolutely no reason for her to get involved in this mess. Even if she’s strong, she has no reason to randomly pick a fight with Sanctyr Base.’

’If I made such a request, I’d be far too shameless. It would be completely unfair to her.’

In the end, he suppressed all of it. ’If I’m going to get revenge, I have to do it myself.’

But just then, Stella Sterling’s next words shocked him even more: "What a coincidence. The reason I came to Veridia this time happens to be related to Sanctyr Base. Now, staying at your place is just perfect."
