Apocalypse Rebirth: Crazy from Day One

Chapter 468: Chapter 137: Just Feeding a Kill

’Otherwise, if my guess had been correct and we ran into danger while Miss Sterling was still asleep, she would have been in a very vulnerable position.’

’And if I had to fight someone, I might not have been able to look after Miss Sterling.’

’In that case, Miss Sterling’s safety would have been a huge problem.’

’So waking Miss Sterling was the right choice.’

Even now, finding out it was a misunderstanding, he didn’t regret it.

He frankly admitted what he had been thinking and then apologized to Stella Sterling, "I’m sorry, Miss Sterling. I misjudged the situation, but I did it just in case. I hope you can forgive me."

Although apologetic words came from his mouth, his expression was very composed, showing no real sign of feeling sorry.

Stella Sterling stared at him, a slight smile appearing on her face. "Not bad. You did well. Don’t worry, I don’t blame you."

’I was a little annoyed at being woken up so forcefully, and then finding out it was a false alarm was even more frustrating.’

But Stella Sterling truly wasn’t angry. After all, she wasn’t someone who couldn’t tell right from wrong.

She knew, of course, why he had done it.

Moreover, under those circumstances, he hadn’t run off by himself. He had woken her up to fight alongside him. That point satisfied her greatly.

’It shows he truly sees himself as one of my people.’

’He’s not just submitting because I forced him. At least in this moment, he’s submitting to me willingly.’

Stella Sterling was very pleased with this.

The key thing was that he had been so frank about his thoughts, which was also unexpected.

Hearing Stella Sterling’s response, the smile on Zane Xavier’s face deepened. He just knew Miss Sterling wouldn’t blame him.

But even though he had expected this outcome, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

The logic was sound, true enough.

But he knew better than anyone that some people were incredibly petty. Even if he wasn’t in the wrong, even if he was acting in their best interest, they would disregard everything if they became unhappy. They wouldn’t consider the bigger picture and would just blame him first.

Wasn’t the old Boss Saint just like that?

’When I worked for him, he never showed me a pleasant face.’

Outwardly, it was considered a great honor. Countless people in Sanctyr Base envied him for being able to work by Boss Saint’s side.

But only he knew how difficult Boss Saint was to serve. Every day by his side, he was walking on eggshells, terrified that one small mistake or one wrong word would displease him.

’And then I’d be punished again!’

On the surface, the man looked suave and elegant, but he was truly small-minded and extremely petty.

Most importantly, Boss Saint was incredibly domineering. His word was law, and he never allowed anyone to contradict him.

Serving a person like that was a real headache. I had to be on high alert, giving it one hundred twenty percent just to deal with him.

’Being around him, I was constantly tense. I had to think through every single word before I spoke.’

’It seems this Miss Sterling has a different personality from Boss Saint. She doesn’t look like someone to be trifled with either, but at least she’s reasonable.’

Just as Zane Xavier was comparing Miles Sanctus and Stella Sterling, Miles Sanctus, back in Sanctyr Base, wore an incredibly dark expression.

"It’s been hours. Is there still no news from Zane Xavier? Isn’t he back yet?"

The man sent to gather information stood beside him, head bowed, and cautiously replied, "Boss, I just went to check. Zane Xavier isn’t back yet. There’s no one in his room, and no one in the entire Sanctyr Base has seen him return!"

Miles Sanctus was extremely dissatisfied with this answer. ’Just escorting one person, and it’s already been hours?’

"What about the people watching Stella Sterling? Has any news come from them?"

The man shook his head.

He also found it strange. ’So much time has passed. It’s one thing for Zane Xavier not to be back, but there’s also no news from the people sent to watch Miss Sterling.’

He had specifically sent people to ask, but the response was unanimous: none of them had seen any sign of Miss Sterling.

He stood cautiously to the side, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Miles Sanctus took a few deep breaths. "Send people to search for her. You must find her whereabouts!"

"And as for that Zane Xavier, the moment he gets back, tell him to come and beg for my forgiveness!"

Miles Sanctus was furious. He hadn’t expected so many things to go wrong with such a simple task.

First, the person who was supposed to escort Stella Sterling away hadn’t returned. Then, the people in Veridia responsible for tailing her had sent no news.

It was as if Stella Sterling and Zane Xavier had vanished into thin air.

’But how is that possible? This is Sanctyr Base’s territory. The moment Stella Sterling shows her face, my people should be able to spot her immediately. Where could she have run off to?’

But the problem was, Stella Sterling was gone. And not just Stella Sterling—Zane Xavier, who had been escorting her, was gone too.

’Could something have happened to them?’

’When Zane Xavier gets back, I’m going to question him thoroughly.’

Right now, Miles Sanctus had no idea that Zane Xavier had already betrayed him—first forced by Stella Sterling, and later pledging his allegiance to her willingly.

This was a possibility Miles Sanctus hadn’t even considered.

Zane Xavier had been by his side for many years. Because the man was capable and had exceptional piloting skills, he had always kept him close to groom him.

’I treated him well, and his benefits at the base are good.’

’How could he possibly get by after leaving Sanctyr Base?’

So, even with Zane Xavier still missing, he only considered that something else had gone wrong, never entertaining the thought that Zane Xavier would betray Sanctyr Base!

And so he waited, and waited for a long time, but Zane Xavier never returned. Not only did Zane Xavier not return, but there was also no news of where the aircraft he was piloting had gone.

Two people and an aircraft had vanished as if into thin air, and they were nowhere to be found.

What he didn’t know was that, at that very moment, Stella Sterling and Zane Xavier had already changed their appearance and their clothes.

Then, driving an old-looking Wuling Hongguang, they swaggered right into Veridia.

As they entered the city, the people specifically assigned to watch for Stella Sterling’s movements even saw them.

But they merely glanced at the two of them before looking away, not giving them a second thought.
