Chapter 393: Chapter 403: Bragging?

If Miss Sterling was confident, his hopes for revenge would be high.

If she wasn’t, his hopes would be dashed.

At this thought, Felix Lawrence actually felt somewhat at ease.

He had been in contact with Miss Sterling for some time now and knew she was a capable and intelligent person.

’She wouldn’t make a move against a major power like Sanctyr Base without a certain degree of confidence.’

’She must have been very sure she could take on Sanctyr Base when she made this decision!’

’Even if she wasn’t overwhelmingly confident, she should at least be able to fight them to a standstill.’

’And at that point, the people of Sanctyr Base would be too busy to bother with an insignificant person like River Larkin.’

’That would be my chance for revenge.’

He was only asking now to set his mind at ease, to get some reassurance.

But in the next moment, what Stella Sterling said made his heart sink.

Stella Sterling looked at him and held up three fingers.

Felix Lawrence swallowed and asked tentatively, "A thirty percent chance?"

’Those are some low odds!’

Stella Sterling took a sip of water. "In this matter, the odds between Sanctyr Base and me are three to seven."

Although Felix Lawrence was a little surprised by the answer, he was still very pleased.

After all, Sanctyr Base was so powerful that most other bases that challenged it were utterly crushed.

For Stella Sterling to have a thirty percent chance was, in fact, quite impressive.

He thought for a moment, then rubbed his bald head and said, "Thirty percent is fine. I might not be that strong myself, but when the time comes, I can definitely cause some minor trouble for Sanctyr Base."

"Miss Sterling, we have a common enemy, so we should cooperate. Feel free to tell me if you need my help with anything. If it’s within my power, I will do my utmost to help."

Felix Lawrence’s expression was incredibly serious as he said this.

’If they were really going to fight Sanctyr Base, Miss Sterling’s people would be the main force on the front lines.’

’And if I want my revenge, I can’t just wait for her to do everything. I have to contribute, too!’

"Hahahaha."

Hearing Felix Lawrence’s words and seeing his solemn expression, Stella Sterling burst out laughing.

Then, under Felix Lawrence’s confused gaze, she shook her head. "I meant I have the seven, and they have the three."

In fact, Stella Sterling felt she was being rather modest with that number.

It wasn’t that she underestimated Sanctyr Base’s strength. It was just that, well, she was too damn good.

Setting aside her own power, even the people she’d brought with her were far from ordinary.

Sanctyr Base might be powerful, but its members were just ordinary people.

Even if their people had developed some kind of potion to enhance one’s physique.

It would have a time limit and side effects, and besides, the strength increase would be limited.

But her subordinates were different. She hadn’t been stingy with all the good things from her personal space.

For example, a single diluted drop of Strong Medicine was enough to increase their strength tenfold.

Even for an ordinary person, a tenfold increase in strength was terrifying, and the destructive power that came with it was immense.

Besides, her base members weren’t ordinary people to begin with; their skills had already been impressive.

And they had never slacked off on their training after joining the base.

’Besides, what I’ve acquired in my space over the years isn’t just limited to things like Strong Medicine. I have many other things that can enhance a person’s potential and abilities.’

’I’ve tried those things myself, and the effects are incredible.’

’On top of that, I have more than enough firepower.’

The equipment Stella Sterling had prepared for them was more than ample.

’If I wasn’t highly confident about taking on Sanctyr Base even with all this...’

’...then it would be a complete waste of all those amazing things.’

To the current Stella Sterling, the major bases were no longer her real opponents.

It was the various natural disasters that truly gave her a sense of crisis.

Otherwise, unless she was incredibly unlucky and met with an unexpected disaster, Stella Sterling had long since stopped fearing such threats.

Felix Lawrence’s brain short-circuited for a moment.

He couldn’t quite process the meaning behind Stella Sterling’s words.

He could only stare blankly at Stella Sterling.

Felix Lawrence was a tall, imposing man, so seeing such a look on his face was rather comically jarring.

Stella Sterling covered her mouth with a light chuckle. "Brother Lawrence, does that expression mean you don’t believe what I said?"

After a long moment, Felix Lawrence finally snapped out of it and swallowed hard.

He understood what Stella Sterling had said, but he still found it hard to believe.

He even began to suspect he had misheard her.

’Miss Sterling was saying that in a fight against Sanctyr Base, the odds were three to seven.’

’With her having the seven!!!’

’Isn’t that a little too outrageous?!’

Sanctyr Base wasn’t some minor outpost, and it certainly wasn’t a pushover.

Not just in the north, but among all the known bases, Sanctyr Base was a behemoth.

A base like that couldn’t be dealt with easily. ’Even Meridia Base wouldn’t dare claim such high odds against Sanctyr Base!’

Yet Miss Sterling had said it so naturally, her expression so confident, without the slightest hint she was joking.

Felix Lawrence had always believed her before, but now, seeing her so calmly make such an arrogant claim...

...he couldn’t help but wonder if she was just bluffing.

’Although, based on my previous interactions with her, she didn’t seem like that type of person.’

’But who could say for sure?’

’After all, they didn’t know each other that well. He could only judge her character by her usual conduct.’

’Besides, so much time has passed. Maybe her personality had changed.’

It wasn’t that he looked down on Stella Sterling’s abilities.

It was just that her words were too unbelievable.

It gave him a feeling of extreme unreality.

After a good while, he still hadn’t answered Stella Sterling’s question.

Stella Sterling, for her part, didn’t mind. She was just telling the truth. If no one believed her, there was nothing she could do about it.

’Besides,’ she thought, ’I’m already being modest. I only gave a conservative number because I was afraid he wouldn’t believe me.’
