章節 256: I would gladly give up on that burden

"Here is what we are going to do," Beatrice said. Her face and voice both reflected the commander of an elite police unit that she used to be. And in the heat of the moment, even Mathew ended up focusing, ready to receive his orders.

"Ah," Beatrice twitched, "Sorry, my bad," she quickly apologized. "Old habits die hard I guess," she then added with a small smile.

"I don't really mind. As long as you have a good plan, I'm all up to hear it," he said.

As such, rather than talking about their plans in the confines of the shaft, they ended up out in the open with other survivors all around.
