Kapitel 316: A reason for everything

Samantha reached the company and reported to Roxy about her progress. Even though it was late, she wasn't expecting it to be so empty. Only a few guards were left, barely enough to defend an empty building.

«Where is everyone?» she asked.

Roxy shrugged, evading her eyes.

«Roxy? Where is Bass?»

«He's in the other room, sleeping. He didn't want to leave me alone while the situation wasn't... stable... He's always where I am.»

«I see. Then what about Nate and the others? Back to the base? Without you?»

«Yes... I have to finish here. The humans sent a few investigators and officers to check our documents. I stayed longer to finish here.»

«No, Roxy. You stayed because there's an attack going on, and you'll go rest only when it's done. The others are safe in the base, but you're here. That means Nate is attacking right now. He sent me to investigate just so I couldn't go with him.»

«He gave you an important mission.»
