Chapter 444: Chapter 454: It’s Really You, Miss Sterling

He looked in that direction, wanting to see who this mysterious figure was.

However, he couldn’t see their face clearly. They had their back turned to him, so he could only see their silhouette, not their features.

However, he raised a skeptical eyebrow. That silhouette looked somewhat familiar.

He thought about it but couldn’t place who it was for a moment.

’Could it be an old enemy, come to attack my own stronghold?’

Meanwhile, a few of his base members were still talking about following that woman.

This displeased him greatly. They were his people. How was this any different from betraying him right to his face?

He glanced over at Selene Larkin. "What’s going on here?"

Hearing Miles Sanctus’s question, Selene Larkin replied, "Boss, this woman’s power is uncanny. She’s incredibly fast. I even fired artillery shells at her before, and she managed to dodge them."

"Those dozen idiots saw that and thought she was some kind of goddess. They defected from Sanctyr Base on the spot and chose to follow her!"

As she spoke, Selene Larkin was filled with both hatred and shame. Those dozen men had been her subordinates. Their actions were so humiliating she could barely speak of them.

So she lowered her head and said guiltily, "I failed to train my subordinates properly. Please punish me, Boss."

Miles Sanctus, however, paid her no mind. ’Selene Larkin’s actions today certainly warrant punishment.’

’But not now!’

He narrowed his eyes, staring at the woman’s back.

’To turn our people against us right inside Sanctyr Base... This woman is certainly interesting!’

’What a pity...’

’So she’s very powerful, is she? Very fast? I’d like to see just how powerful she really is!’

’As for those dozen traitors, they’ll soon regret their choice and pay a heavy price!’

’Coincidentally, Dr. Quinn has made new progress in his experiments at the lab. And he just so happens to need more subjects!’

’Well, now we’re not short anymore!’

He took two steps forward, his face devoid of anger. "I wonder which friend has infiltrated our base. Why not turn around so we can all get acquainted?"

At that moment, both Tripp Jennings’s group and Selene Larkin’s people stood behind Miles Sanctus, gathered respectfully around him.

Hearing this, Stella Sterling turned her head.

The mask she wore before was gone, and it wasn’t convenient for her to pull another one out of her space. So now, her face was clearly visible to everyone.

The people opposite her were stunned for a moment.

Previously, with all the dust in the air, the woman had been standing amidst the ruins. Although they could see she wasn’t wearing a mask, they couldn’t get a clear look at her face.

Now that the dust had settled, her face was clearly displayed before them.

She was an exceptionally beautiful woman, so stunning it was as if she belonged to a different world.

Even her skin seemed to glow, a stark contrast to the dark, emaciated people worn down by the apocalypse.

Looking at her like this, she truly resembled an angel.

A look of astonishment flashed in many people’s eyes.

Moreover, the woman looked very young. Compared to her previous arrogant behavior, her face was beautiful and looked completely harmless.

Looking at that face, they couldn’t imagine she would do something so brazen and arrogant. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe.

"What are you looking at? Don’t forget, she’s the one who killed Attorney Walsh."

When Queenie Walsh saw her husband staring, mesmerized, at the woman, she shot him a warning glance.

After a moment, Tripp Jennings finally pulled his gaze away from Stella Sterling, a hint of reluctance still in his eyes. He smiled at his wife. "Honey, don’t misunderstand. You’re the only one for me. She’s our enemy, of course I haven’t forgotten. I just wanted to see if she’d still be as arrogant as before now that our boss is here."

His explanation made Queenie Walsh feel a little better.

But she didn’t notice Tripp Jennings secretly glancing back in Stella Sterling’s direction, even swallowing involuntarily.

He had never expected the woman who killed Attorney Walsh to be so beautiful. What a pity...

River Larkin had seen Stella Sterling’s true appearance before, so he wasn’t as stunned as the others.

But looking at that face, which hadn’t changed at all in several years, his expression grew complicated.

When Selene Larkin saw the face clearly, her gaze flickered.

’This woman is so powerful and so stunningly beautiful. And thinking about what she said before, about River Larkin pursuing her...’

’With a face like that, it’s not impossible!’

At this moment, everyone was lost in their own thoughts and failed to notice the look of astonishment that flashed across their boss, Miles Sanctus’s, face when he saw her clearly.

Stella Sterling turned around and now also saw Miles Sanctus not far away. It hadn’t been long since they last met.

So she could still recognize him. She raised an eyebrow. "We meet again, Miles Sanctus."

Before, Miles Sanctus had wondered if he was mistaken, or if this person merely resembled that Stella Sterling.

But now, hearing her words, he was certain. He hadn’t been mistaken. The person before him was truly the leader of Caeluna Base, Stella Sterling.

’Why is she here? And inside my base, no less.’

’So... was all this commotion in the base caused by her?’

When Selene Larkin heard Stella Sterling’s words, she sneered inwardly. ’To think she’s still acting at a time like this.’

She took two steps forward, wanting to tell Boss Saint about how this woman had previously spread rumors that he pursued her.

But before she could speak, she heard the delighted voice of their boss. "Miss Sterling, it really is you!"

Selene Larkin stopped in her tracks, looking at her boss in disbelief.

’Our boss actually knows this woman?’

’Thinking back to what she said before... could it be that she was telling the truth? That she wasn’t lying?’

’But just as the thought appeared, she shook her head, dismissing it. Our boss is an incredible figure; how could he possibly pursue her?’

’They’re probably just casual acquaintances!’

Just then, she heard her boss laugh heartily. "Hahaha! Miss Sterling, when did you arrive in Veridia? And you came all the way to our base without looking for me? You should have told me sooner, so I could have shown you proper hospitality!"

By now, the other members of Sanctyr Base were frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.
