Chapter 495: Chapter 504: Why Is Her Car Here?
Her gaze swept over the people Felix Lawrence had brought, but she didn’t see Andrew Shaw.
’Andrew Shaw probably didn’t come with them.’
What was happening today would have been incredibly dangerous for Felix Lawrence if things had gone wrong. In their eyes, Andrew Shaw was just a young child. Naturally, they wouldn’t bring him along for something like this.
’Besides, Andrew Shaw is one of mine. Now that I’ve left Felix Lawrence and the others, they’ll take extra good care of Andrew for my sake. They wouldn’t let him get involved in this kind of danger.’
She looked at Felix Lawrence again, a bit surprised, her expression somewhat strange.
’I can’t believe this Mutt character is actually friends with Felix Lawrence.’
’It’s a good thing I didn’t take things too far today. Otherwise, Felix Lawrence would have arrived to find a field of corpses.’
Zane Xavier noticed the strange look in Miss Sterling’s eyes. Following her gaze, he saw she was staring at the bald man.
He couldn’t help but wonder, ’Don’t tell me Miss Sterling is into his type? But he looks quite a bit older than her!’
"It’s fine, it’s all been sorted out. We’ve all come to an agreement. We can just transport the goods back now. Thanks for coming, Brother Lawrence."
Mutt laughed and clapped Felix Lawrence on the shoulder. Although the backup plan he had prepared was no longer necessary, he was still grateful that the man had brought his people to help.
Even though he had promised to share some of the supplies he acquired, he was more than willing to do so for a friend like this.
In this apocalypse, having a friend willing to lend a hand at a critical moment was of the utmost importance.
"That’s good!"
Felix Lawrence nodded, sighing in relief. The men he had brought were his most loyal brothers. It was for the best that they could resolve this without bloodshed.
He was about to say something else when he felt a gaze on him. He turned his head and saw a dark-skinned, unfamiliar woman leaning against a car, quietly sizing him up.
He frowned. He didn’t understand why she was looking at him like that. ’I don’t even know this woman!’
’Mutt just said things were resolved peacefully, but this woman is staring at me... Could it be her group has other plans?’
Suddenly, his gaze froze. He stared at the car behind the woman, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.
’Why does that car look so familiar? I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before.’
He rubbed his bald head, trying hard to remember.
Seeing him look over, Stella Sterling raised an eyebrow and gave him a slight smile.
With so many people around, she didn’t bother to greet him. After all, she hadn’t made an enemy of Mutt’s group, so there was no need to clash with Felix Lawrence.
Therefore, there was no need to reveal her identity to him. It wasn’t the right time to show her face.
’Isn’t that the car Miss Sterling and the others were driving before?’
A flash of insight went through Felix Lawrence’s mind. At that crucial moment, he finally remembered why the car had seemed so strangely familiar.
’I’ve seen Miss Sterling drive that car.’
The aura around him shifted in an instant.
’Why is Miss Sterling’s car in that woman’s possession?’ His eyes scanned the surroundings, but he couldn’t find the familiar figure he was looking for.
And so, the aura around him grew even colder.
Yesterday, people from Sanctyr Base had come to their area looking for Miss Sterling. In the end, she had stepped forward to face them alone.
As of today, Miss Sterling still hadn’t returned.
Today, besides coming to help his friend, he had also wanted to ask around for news about Miss Sterling.
But he never expected that, instead of finding Miss Sterling, he would find her car being used by someone else.
’Could it be that something happened to Miss Sterling?’
’Since Miss Sterling’s car is here, it’s highly likely this woman is connected to her disappearance.’
Seeing the sudden change in Felix Lawrence’s expression and how he was staring fixedly in that direction, Mutt followed his gaze and saw the woman.
He shivered, quickly pulling on Felix Lawrence’s sleeve and whispering, "Brother Lawrence, don’t look! Th-this woman is no ordinary person!"
He didn’t know why Felix Lawrence was suddenly staring at this woman.
He recalled that although the woman was a bit dark-skinned, she was still quite attractive. The late Fat Snake had taken a liking to her, and an idea suddenly struck him.
’Don’t tell me Brother Lawrence has taken a liking to her too?’
Thinking about what happened to Fat Snake’s group, thinking about how formidable and terrifying this woman was...
He shuddered again, hastily pulling Felix to the side to give him a solemn recounting of what had just happened.
After finishing his story, he repeatedly emphasized that the woman had a terrible temper and her fighting skills were bizarre, warning Felix not to get any ideas about her.
He was afraid Felix Lawrence might not be thinking clearly, get some bad ideas, and end up just like Fat Snake and his men.
While worrying about Felix Lawrence, he was also worried that if Felix offended her, the woman would take her anger out on them as well.
That was why his expression was so solemn.
After hearing Mutt’s description of events, Felix Lawrence’s heart grew even heavier. ’So, that woman is really that powerful?’
’Miss Sterling’s car is in her hands, and she’s that powerful... Could she be the one who did something to Miss Sterling?’
As for the rest of what Mutt said, Felix Lawrence didn’t pay it much mind.
He could tell right away that the other man had misunderstood something. However, if Miss Sterling’s disappearance was truly related to this dark-skinned woman, then he couldn’t just ignore it.
When Mutt saw Felix Lawrence’s expression and how he kept glancing over at the woman, his heart skipped a beat. ’Brother Lawrence... he hasn’t given up, has he?’
He said, "Brother Lawrence, there are plenty of women out there! There’s no need to ruin yourself over one woman! I know several women who are much prettier than her. If you’re interested, I can introduce you."
’Whatever you do, don’t provoke that she-devil!!!’
Felix Lawrence snapped back to reality and patted Mutt’s shoulder. "Don’t worry, I won’t provoke her. But I do have a few questions for her."
He wasn’t an idiot. He wouldn’t confront her head-on, especially since he first needed to confirm if Miss Sterling’s disappearance was related to this woman.
Even if it was related, he would need to come up with a detailed plan to investigate, not just blindly make an enemy of her.
He walked toward Stella Sterling, his heart heavy.
’I hope Miss Sterling is safe.’
