After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret Chapter 254: I Could Have Just Turned Her to Ash

The mont she saw the state of Nerissa Sutton’s body, Nina Jacobs made a connection.

The wounds on Nerissa Sutton’s body were identical to the wounds on Keaton Sloan, whom she had killed several months ago.

Even down to the location and size.

Dawn Donovan’s expression changed instantly. ’How does Nina Jacobs know why I’m here?’

Seeing this, Ariadne Sterling, who was standing to the side, cleared his throat and said,

"Miss Jacobs, let’s just be direct."

"The victim was found dead in front of your ho, and an examination of the wounds confird they were caused by a Fire Elent Superpower."

"Do you have any questions about that?"

"I do. I suspect she didn’t die in front of my ho,"

"But was moved there after she was already dead."

Nina Jacobs paused, then asked with a hint of disappointnt,

"Or have you not yet determined where the primary cri scene is?"

"The primary cri scene..."

Ariadne Sterling was montarily stumped.

But he recovered quickly and produced another photograph.

"Our investigation shows that nearly six months ago, you killed a mber of the rescue team."

"His na was Keaton Sloan. Do you have any questions about that?"

"No,"

Nina Jacobs replied.

Ariadne Sterling’s spirits lifted. "Keaton Sloan’s cause of death was a single fatal blow from a Fire Elent Superpower. The wound and cause of death are identical to Nerissa Sutton’s."

"How do you explain that?"

"We’re also aware that you had a verbal altercation with the victim, Nerissa Sutton, and even ca close to disfiguring her."

"Could that be your motive for murder?"

Ariadne Sterling had clearly co prepared. His confidence grew as he spoke, but the woman before him, Nina Jacobs, remained perfectly composed.

"It’s precisely because they’re identical that it makes no sense,"

Nina Jacobs answered.

"What do you an?"

Dawn Donovan didn’t understand what Nina Jacobs ant either.

Nina Jacobs looked at her and calmly reminded her,

"Six months ago, I was a Basic Level Superpower User."

"A Basic Level... Superpower User?"

Ariadne Sterling was not a Superpower User, so he didn’t grasp the aning behind her words.

"The strength of a Superpower User’s attack is directly related to their own level. The stronger the Superpower, the greater the damage, and the manifestation is completely different."

From the mont she first saw the body, Nina Jacobs hadn’t worried about this at all.

She continued,

"My power level six months ago could not possibly be the sa as it is now."

"After all, I am now an Interdiate Superpower User."

The damage from her Fire Elent attacks now couldn’t possibly be the sa as it was six months ago.

She had previously requested that the base keep her status as an Interdiate Superpower User confidential for the ti being.

So, it was understandable that the two people before her didn’t know.

Dawn Donovan was still reeling from the shock of Nina Jacobs’s words.

’She’s already an Interdiate Superpower User?’

’In just six months?’

"But you could have suppressed your power to kill her. Can’t Superpower Users control the strength of their Superpowers?"

Ariadne Sterling asked, refusing to give up.

At this, Nina Jacobs let out a small laugh.

She glanced at the cara and said,

"Are you suggesting that I could have vaporized her, but instead, I deliberately suppressed my power to create a wound identical to the one from six months ago, and then placed her body at my doorstep?"

Nina Jacobs’s words made Ariadne Sterling’s jaw drop.

’Vaporized... her?’

He almost wondered if there was sothing wrong with his hearing.

’How could soone talk about destroying a body and erasing all evidence so casually?’

Behind her, Wayne Warner was yawning repeatedly.

Rembering that Wayne Warner had accompanied her and hadn’t eaten yet, Nina Jacobs asked, "May I leave now?"

Dawn Donovan glanced at her watch and exchanged a look with Ariadne Sterling.

"Sorry, Miss Jacobs. Please wait here a little longer."

’A little longer?’

Nina Jacobs watched as the two of them left the room, not forgetting to lock the door behind them.

In other words, she was now locked in.

"Looks like we’re not leaving for a while."

Nina Jacobs frowned.

It should have been dark outside by now. ’Logically, Sherry Renner wouldn’t let be locked up in here.’

’This interrogation is getting stranger and stranger.’

Nina Jacobs checked the ti. Two hours had passed since she arrived.

She activated "Five Senses Enhancent," trying to pick up more clues.

Just as she was debating whether to break down the door and leave, it opened.

When Adrian Shaw saw Nina Jacobs sitting there unhard, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Adrian Shaw were Holden Shaw, Chase Gallagher, and others,

including Pascal Paige and Jessica Vance.

"They didn’t do anything to you, did they?"

Pascal Paige rushed over and asked.

Nina Jacobs shook her head, then looked at Adrian Shaw.

"You were right. They’ve finally made their move."

Adrian Shaw was quite impressed with Nina Jacobs. ’This day really has co.’

"How are things on Uncle Hale’s end?" Nina asked.

"Don’t worry, my people have been watching."

"It’s not over yet,"

Adrian Shaw replied.

Leo Hale watched the two of them exchange words. "What’s going on? What are you two talking about?"

"It’s nothing. Let’s go. We can go watch the show."

Nina Jacobs stood up.

’This is the day I’ve been waiting for,’ she thought. ’I just wonder how big of a fish we’ll catch this ti.’

「At the reception.」

Daniel Hale was already completely drunk.

But he seed to still be aware that it was getting late and it was ti to go ho.

Seeing him stumble, Heath Chandler caringly moved to support him, but soone else beat him to it.

"Let’s go, Hale. I’ll take you ho,"

the person said.

Heath Chandler wasn’t very familiar with the people at the base to begin with. Plus, soone else ca over to offer him a drink just then, so he didn’t think much of it as he watched Daniel Hale leave.

A mont later, Daniel Hale was helped into a black van.

The van weaved through the streets, eventually heading toward the base’s dormitory buildings.

Inside the van, a woman asked worriedly,

"Is this really going to work? I’ve got a bad feeling about this."

"Relax. Just do what you’re supposed to do."

"You’ll get your reward after it’s done."

The driver was a man with blond hair, and he gave the woman a small packet.

The woman nodded, relieved. "And he’s supposed to be a Spiritual Elent Superpower User? We haven’t even drugged him yet, and a little alcohol is all it takes to knock him out?"

"Don’t get careless. I’ll go up with you in a bit."

"The boss went to a lot of trouble to get soone to drink him under the table. This is the mont we’ve been waiting for."

Blondie instructed. He would administer the drug himself later.

They had already tested the drug’s effects on soone.

There wouldn’t be any problems.

The car stopped in front of one of the dormitory buildings.

The woman and Blondie got out of the car, supporting Daniel Hale as they walked toward a room on the first floor.

People were coming and going in the hallway, and many turned to look.

Blondie seed to be deliberately drawing attention, saying loudly,

"You two haven’t seen each other in a while. Take good care of my man Hale tonight."

The woman replied with a bashful look.

But when the two of them looked up and saw a line of people standing ahead, they froze on the spot.

"Let him go,"

Adrian Shaw said sharply.

The woman flinched and collapsed to the ground in fear.

Blondie also let go of the dead-drunk Daniel Hale, only to find Daniel Hale looking at them with a perfectly sober expression.

His eyes widened. ’Daniel Hale was faking it!’

"Who are you calling your ’man’? Do I even know you?"

Daniel Hale stared at the completely unfamiliar man and woman before him.

If it weren’t for Adrian Shaw’s warning and that sobering dicine, he definitely would have fallen for their trap today.

The thought of the potential consequences of this incident made his whole body radiate with fury.

He didn’t know these two at all. ’Soone is trying to fra !’
