As they rummaged, they were still cursing. "Damn that fucking bitch, looking down on us brothers."
"Sooner or later, we’ll make her regret it."
"Exactly. She’s only acting tough because she has a gun. Without it, she’d be ours to do with as we please. What gives her the right to be so arrogant in front of us!"
"It’s just because she has powerful backers. She just got lucky, but a person’s luck can’t last forever."
"Girls like her used to throw themselves at us back in the day."
"I’ve morized the faces of those people just now. How dare they treat us like that. If we get the chance, we’ll get our revenge and show them the price of underestimating us."
The two of them rummaged through the bodies for anything useful, all while hurling curses at Stella Sterling.
People are strange. The ones from Sanctyr Base had captured them and nearly turned them into food.
Yet in front of their captors, these two were ek and subservient, not daring to make a peep. They practically prayed to be ignored, to be forgotten, not daring to utter a single harsh word.
But Stella Sterling had saved them. Although she hadn’t given them food or taken them with her,
she had still helped them escape the jaws of death and had done them no harm.
Yet for this alone, they ca to resent Stella Sterling, as if she were their greatest enemy.
Not only did they harbor hatred for Stella, but they also cursed her relentlessly...
Setting off once more, there were now six more people on the boat.
Stella Sterling told them to find a place for themselves, then ordered Shane Lawrence, "Take care of those two."
Shane Lawrence froze for a second, but he didn’t ask any questions. He imdiately went to carry out Stella Sterling’s command.
BANG, BANG.
The people on the boat heard two gunshots!
The two n who had been left behind thought everyone had already gone. They never expected them to pull sothing like this.
Before the two could even react, the resentful expressions still on their faces and their mouths half-open in a curse, they collapsed to the ground, all signs of life gone.
Hearing the gunshots, the people on the boat exchanged confused glances. They didn’t understand what had happened. Had there been another sudden danger?
The two researcher brothers ran out onto the deck and saw the other two n who had been captured with them lying on the ground.
The boat had already started moving, and the scene slowly receded into the distance.
The brothers looked at each other. The gunshots had co from their boat, so they knew exactly who was responsible.
Everyone on the boat followed Sterling’s commands, which ant Sterling had ordered those two n killed.
The two looked at each other again. The older one said, "Sterling may be young, but her mind is hard to read. She can be kind, but she’s also ruthless. We need to change our ways from now on and just focus on our work."
They didn’t know why Sterling had suddenly decided to kill those two n, but they felt no sympathy for their deaths.
Those two were hardly good people. They had all been captured together. The people from Sanctyr Base had bullied them, but instead of blaming Sanctyr Base or trying to escape together, those two had found every opportunity to bully the researchers instead.
This end... they completely deserved it.
The two returned inside the boat in silence, saying and asking nothing.
The little boy also ran out to look, then ca back and asked, "Sterling, did you kill those two n?"
Hearing his question, Stella Sterling glanced at him and nodded curtly. "Yes."
From the very beginning, those two n had reacted differently from everyone else when the little girl was nearly thrown into the pot; they were full of schadenfreude.
Afterward, when the others were thanking her, those two had worn expressions of disdain.
Later, when the old man was distributing food, he gave so to the two researcher brothers but not to those two n. It was clear they were very unpopular.
At the very least, the others didn’t like them.
But none of that really mattered. Everyone makes their own choices, and she wasn’t one to ddle in others’ affairs.
Whether those two were good or bad, or whatever they had done before, had nothing to do with her.
But they had sealed their fates the mont they opened their mouths to curse her.
Those two thought that once she was on the boat, she wouldn’t be able to hear them. So they started cursing her without restraint, each insult uglier than the last.
But Stella Sterling’s senses, both sight and hearing, were now incredibly sharp.
And they had shouted their curses so loudly to vent their dissatisfaction that she had heard every single word.
’So, you’re not happy with , huh? Calling a fucking bitch, are you? Planning to get revenge on later, is that it?’
’If that’s the case, then I’ll just send you to hell first.’
’They might just be two ants who could never hurt .’
’But why should I let people who want dead remain in this world?’
’Potential threats should be eliminated early, lest they grow into major disasters.’
’Crush them before they have a chance to grow, before they have the power to deal with —that is my rule of survival.’
’I can kill them right now, so why would I let them live, only to solve the problem when they beco a real threat in the future?’
’If they had to bla soone, they should bla themselves for not holding their tongues a little longer. If they had just waited until I was truly gone, I wouldn’t have heard them.’
’So now, their fate... they can only bla themselves. They deserved it.’
’Why on earth should I spare soone I’d saved, only for them to resent for it? The very thought is infuriating.’
’Rather than let that annoyance fester, it’s better to just get rid of it.’
Hearing Stella Sterling admit it so readily, the others were a little confused.
It was clear from the start that Sterling didn’t seem to like those two n. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken all six of them and left just the two behind without a second thought.
But it didn’t seem like the two n had done anything to Sterling, so why did she make such a decision?
Besides, in their eyes, the fact that Sterling was willing to take them in ant she was a kind person, not soone who would slaughter the innocent.
Had they been enemies before this?
However, these people knew their place and didn’t ask any questions. In fact, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
Those two deserved it!!!
But while they were overthinking it, the little girl’s thoughts were much simpler. She spoke up directly: "Big sister, those two were bad guys. They always bullied us. I’m glad you killed them!"
The little girl in front of her had wide eyes and ssy black hair. Her gaze held an innocence that adults no longer possessed.
At this mont, she was looking up at her, her eyes blinking with excitent.
Stella Sterling reached out and stroked her head. "Yes. Big sister got revenge for you."
