Chapter 515: Chapter 524: Time to Deal with River Larkin

"Hm?"

Zane Xavier suddenly clutched his chest, his expression changing.

A flash of confusion crossed his eyes.

He felt a particularly strong connection in his heart.

He had been feeling this sensation for the past few days and had already figured it out: it was the connection between himself and Miss Sterling.

He wasn’t too surprised. When Miss Sterling had him take that pill, he’d suspected she had a reason for it.

Back when Miss Sterling had disappeared, he would sometimes inexplicably sense her presence.

He had gradually gotten used to it.

But he hadn’t expected the connection to suddenly become so intense just now.

His gaze then shifted, and he looked in a certain direction, but there was nothing there.

His brow furrowed deeply again. He was certain he hadn’t been mistaken. A figure had definitely flashed past, and it was a very familiar one.

It looked a bit like Miss Sterling.

Thinking about the sudden, intense connection and that extremely familiar figure from just a moment ago...

Zane Xavier’s expression lit up. ’Could Miss Sterling be here too?’

But in the next moment, he grew puzzled.

’Miss Sterling said she had other matters to attend to, but now she’s appeared inside Sanctyr Base. Could it be that what she needs to handle is related to the base?’

’Shouldn’t she be avoiding people from Sanctyr Base right now? Why would she come here on her own initiative?!’

Zane Xavier couldn’t understand it.

"Brother Xavier, what’s wrong?"

Noticing his strange expression, Hunter Night turned to look at him.

"I’m fine. I just felt a little unwell for a moment, but I’m better now," Zane Xavier said, shaking his head and giving Hunter Night a small smile.

He didn’t tell him about his discovery.

Although Hunter Night seemed like a decent guy, his relationship with him and the others hadn’t reached that level of trust.

Besides, he hadn’t forgotten that Hunter Night and his men also worked for Sanctyr Base. Right now, his own relationship with the base was far from friendly. If Hunter Night found out, who knew if he would report it?

Hunter Night nodded, not thinking much of it.

Just then, the person leading the way barked, "Don’t look around! Just follow me!"

Zane Xavier glanced at the man. In the past, when he was also a member of Sanctyr Base, he hadn’t really thought much about their methods.

’But returning to Sanctyr Base with a new identity now, I’m only just realizing... are all the people here this domineering?’

He shook his head and followed Hunter Night and the others into a large hall, where they were shown to their seats.

What Zane Xavier didn’t know was that just after they went inside, Stella Sterling emerged from a corner.

Looking in the direction Zane Xavier and the others had gone, a trace of resignation flashed in Stella Sterling’s eyes.

She and the rest of Black Swan had already infiltrated Sanctyr Base. They had decided to pull off something big today.

Stella Sterling also knew that Sanctyr Base would be hosting its subordinate factions today.

And she had chosen a day like this to make her move because she wanted everyone on the outside to see and to spread the word about what happened here.

When that happened, the authority Sanctyr Base had established in this region would crumble in a single day.

But she hadn’t expected to see Zane Xavier here. If not for the sudden, intense sensation from their connection, she wouldn’t have even noticed him.

She then controlled herself, suppressing the connection.

’It seems Zane Xavier came with the people from the Three Tigers Corps.’

Stella Sterling shook her head and set the matter aside. It was a surprise, but it didn’t affect her original plan.

She gazed into the distance. ’I’ve prepared a grand gift for Miles Sanctus today. I do hope he likes it.’

’But before that, perhaps I should take care of someone else first.’

Stella Sterling glanced toward the hall, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

As she walked, she released her spiritual power and began searching for River Larkin’s whereabouts.

’I should deal with River Larkin now. Otherwise, when things get chaotic later, he’s such a small fry that I might overlook him and let him escape.’

’I did promise Felix Lawrence I’d give him a chance for revenge, so River Larkin must be captured.’

Besides, even without Felix Lawrence being a factor, she and River Larkin had a considerable grudge between them.

She couldn’t be bothered to deal with him before, but now, she decided it was best to eliminate him to prevent him from causing trouble in the future.

Soon, Stella Sterling locked onto his location.

At that moment, River Larkin was in his room changing clothes. Later, he was going to the main hall with Selene Larkin to meet the leaders of the factions subordinate to Sanctyr Base.

He knew this was Selene Larkin’s way of paving the path for him, letting him show his face before these people to make things easier for him in the future.

A smile appeared on his face.

’I heard that after that day, Stella Sterling completely vanished. Looks like she was hiding from Miles Sanctus’s spies.’

’She really made a fool of Miles Sanctus this time.’

’And that Miles Sanctus was furious for a long time. I bet he’s seething with rage at Stella Sterling.’

’A man like Miles Sanctus is used to being high and mighty, but now he’s been so brazenly played and stood up by Stella Sterling.’

’You can just imagine how furious he is. He must hate Stella Sterling now.’

’The next time he sees Stella Sterling, she won’t have anyone backing her up. We’ll see what she does then!’

"If I get the chance, I’ll definitely kill you!"

River Larkin snarled. The memory of his humiliation at Stella Sterling’s hands made his entire face twist, erasing any trace of his usual sunny and humorous demeanor.

"Well, I’m afraid you won’t get that chance!"

Just then, a clear, ringing laugh sounded by his ear.

River Larkin’s heart leaped in shock. He looked up to see Stella Sterling standing not far from him.

His heart sank. ’How is she here?’

"What do you want?"

River Larkin’s voice was panicked, but he tried to remain calm inside. He subtly moved toward a drawer, intending to grab the gun inside.

"I’m here to kill you, of course. Isn’t that obvious?"

Stella Sterling said with feigned exasperation, a brilliant smile on her face.

River Larkin’s heart plummeted. He scrambled in that direction, yelling, "This is Sanctyr Base! Don’t do anything reckless!"

Stella Sterling ignored him. She appeared in front of him in a flash and threw a punch. The force was so great that it knocked River Larkin out cold before he even had a chance to react.

Stella Sterling looked at the person on the floor, picked him up, tossed him into her dimensional space, and then vanished from the room.
