Chapter 506: Chapter 515: Stella Sterling’s Excitement

’Something’s wrong. Something’s not right.’

The abilities Black Swan described didn’t match what Caleb Xavier should be capable of right now.

’Could it be...’

A glint flashed in Stella Sterling’s eyes as a thought suddenly surfaced in her mind.

’Could it be that Caleb Xavier was reborn too?’

’If I could be reborn, why couldn’t Caleb Xavier?’

This life was already vastly different from her previous one. Besides her own rebirth, there was also Lillian Magnus, who had suddenly started dreaming about things that had happened between them in their past lives.

And then there was Andrew Shaw, who had been reborn from 25 years into the apocalypse.

’Who knows if there are others in this world who have been reborn, besides them.’

’So why couldn’t Caleb Xavier be one of them?’

After all, if that wasn’t the case, then according to the timeline of her past life, the Caleb Xavier of today was far from having such abilities.

Back then, he was just an ordinary person in this apocalypse with some brains and fighting skills, nothing more.

When she had met him at this point in her past life, Caleb Xavier’s situation had been no better than her own; he had been just as wretched.

But the Caleb Xavier she had just heard about from Black Swan was not wretched at all.

He already had subordinates and was well-armed.

’He sounds just like me—reborn and well-prepared far in advance.’

As she thought about it, Stella Sterling suddenly let out a low laugh, her face alight with excitement.

’Reborn is good! This is good! This makes things fun!’

Before, she had always felt a sense of regret. In this life, she could get revenge on Caleb Xavier for what he did in the last one.

But she would only be killing *this* life’s Caleb Xavier. She had no way to take revenge on the man from her past life who had actually killed her, and it always felt like something was missing.

But if he had been reborn too, then things were different. It meant she would meet the Caleb Xavier from her past life once again.

And when that time came, she could finally take her revenge on the Caleb Xavier from her past.

How could she not be thrilled? She had thought the opportunity was lost forever, but she never expected such a turn of events.

Black Swan’s expression was grave. There were still many capable people in this world.

Ever since joining Caeluna Base and being trained by them, she had thought she was much stronger than before. She believed that everyone from their base was extraordinary, and that besides their master, almost no one outside could be their match.

But there was always someone better out there. This group they encountered, for example, was incredibly strong, especially their leader.

They had suffered a major defeat at his hands. If they hadn’t reacted in time, their entire team might have been wiped out by that group.

’How could I have faced my master’s trust then?’

This incident had also made her realize that she must never be careless or underestimate an enemy, no matter the situation.

Of course, she knew in her heart that even if she were prepared, she still wasn’t confident she could defeat him if they were to face off again.

Her heart was heavy as she thought about that incident, so she was surprised to suddenly hear her master laughing beside her.

She turned to look, confused. ’What is Master laughing about?’

’Does she think we’re too useless? Is she mocking us?’

At this thought, she was overcome with shame. Her master had given them so much support. In Caeluna Base, they never had to go hungry, ate their fill at every meal, and received formal training.

They were even given Strong Medicine with no side effects, which greatly enhanced their strength. And yet, even with all that, they had still been defeated by someone else.

’We really are useless. It’s only right for Master to mock us.’

But the next moment, she froze. She had expected to see disdain and dissatisfaction in her master’s eyes.

But she had been completely wrong. There was no such expression on her master’s face.

Instead, she saw excitement and exhilaration, as if her master had encountered something fun. And beneath that excitement, she could also sense a hidden killing intent.

She stared blankly at Stella Sterling.

This was the first time she had ever seen her master so agitated. Ever since she’d known her, her master had always been calm and composed, and reliable for the most part. Her thoughts were impossible to fathom.

But now, for the first time, she was feeling such a strong emotional fluctuation from her master.

She could feel her master was so excited she was practically trembling.

She watched her, stunned.

For a moment, she even rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things.

When she opened her eyes and looked again, she saw that her master had already calmed down and was standing nearby, watching her.

Black Swan nodded. ’It seems that was just my imagination. I must have seen it wrong.’

Stella Sterling saw her reaction. ’I did get a little too excited just now. I lost my composure.’

’But I can’t help it. I’m just so happy. This is a huge surprise for me.’

But there was no need to explain all this to Black Swan. She said, "Let’s go. Tell me about that man, Caleb Xavier. Is there anything particularly strange about him?"

Although she suspected he had been reborn, it was all just her own speculation; she had no concrete proof.

It was true that he was very different from before, but who could say if that wasn’t just the butterfly effect?

Black Swan was a little surprised to see that her master was so interested in the leader of that group.

’But then again,’ she thought, ’those people caused us so much harm. Aren’t they our enemies?’

Caeluna Base wouldn’t just swallow this insult. Now that they had reunited with their master, if they had the chance to meet that group again, they would certainly get their revenge.

So it was perfectly normal for her master to want to learn more about the enemy. After all, "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

’The master is truly the master. Her strength is already so immense, yet she’s still so cautious when facing an enemy, making sure to understand the situation first.’

They, on the other hand, had been too overconfident, underestimating their opponent’s strength. And since that group was indeed powerful, they had suffered a major defeat. This incident served as a harsh lesson for all of them.

Even someone as strong as the master never underestimated her opponents. If only they had understood this earlier and learned from her, what happened before would never have occurred.
