After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret-Chapter 98: She’s Back

"How is Captain Grant at fault? He just reacted a little faster."

"Yeah, just look around! Who can even compare to Captain Grant’s Superpower?

Forget just the Fire Element—even if you combine all the elements, no one can beat him."

"I think Captain Pearson is just jealous. They’re both Fire Element Superpower Users, so when he can’t measure up, he just nitpicks!"

"Shut your filthy mouths!

It’s easy for you to talk since you weren’t the ones used as a zombie shield, right?

If Captain Pearson hadn’t arrived in time, that team member would have been killed by his own ally, right before his eyes!"

"What did that team member do to deserve that? He’s taken part in dozens of rescue missions, big and small!"

"He could die in battle, or he could die saving someone,

but he absolutely should not die being forced to take a hit for someone else!"

It was Leo Hale’s voice, and he sounded furious.

Nina Jacobs, at least, had never heard him so angry.

"The Captain Grant you’re all defending is just a petty coward who’s afraid of dying,

can’t you all see that?"

That was Chelsea Walsh’s voice.

The two sides were still arguing, and it was getting heated.

No one noticed Nina Jacobs standing at the back of the crowd of onlookers.

Nina had thought something interesting was happening, but then she saw Liam Grant in the center of it all.

"I take full responsibility for my actions.

Since Supervisor Holden said we can settle this with a match, I have no objections."

After speaking, Liam Grant looked at Chester Pearson.

"Captain Pearson, you don’t have to target me at every turn.

Let’s just fight!"

"The way you say that, it’s as if I’m deliberately trying to pick a fight with you.

Holt Tate has been with me for so long. I have to see justice done for him."

Chester Pearson still had a nonchalant tone, but it seemed to take a great deal of effort just to stand up from his wheelchair.

"Captain Pearson, how can you fight him in your condition?

Your injuries haven’t even healed yet."

Russell Abbott was frantic, and many others in the crowd also tried to dissuade him.

"Supervisor Holden, Captain Pearson is injured. How could he possibly win a match?"

Daniel Hale stepped forward.

"What’s going on?"

Chelsea Walsh was still fuming when she felt someone appear beside her.

A familiar voice made her turn her head in pleasant surprise.

"Nin..."

Chelsea Walsh covered her mouth and excitedly hugged Nina Jacobs.

"You’re back safely! We were worried sick!"

Chelsea Walsh began to explain in a low voice.

"A few days ago, when Captain Pearson’s team was out gathering supplies, they ran into Liam Grant’s squad. And to make matters worse, they’d attracted a horde of zombies.

While they were fighting the zombies, that scumbag Grant actually grabbed Holt Tate and used him as a shield. Luckily, Captain Pearson noticed in time and saved Holt, but his own leg was injured in the process."

"Captain Pearson just wants to get justice for Holt, so he proposed that Liam Grant be stripped of his position.

But that Supervisor Holden, along with Dawn Donovan and the others, insisted Liam Grant was innocent, so the whole thing blew up and got out of hand."

After Chelsea’s brief explanation, Nina Jacobs understood everything.

"The key issue now is that Captain Pearson is injured. Otherwise, he wouldn’t necessarily lose to him."

"Is Liam Grant really that strong now?"

Nina Jacobs asked curiously.

"I guess so. Anyway, the rumor everywhere is that he’s the number one fighter in the shelter or something.

I heard from Uncle Hale that because of those rumors, even Justin Lawson thinks highly of him."

Chelsea Walsh looked worriedly toward the center of the crowd, where Chester Pearson was still insisting on competing.

"It’s just a contest of Superpowers, right?

My leg is just broken. Who knows, maybe I can beat you into submission while sitting down?"

Chester Pearson said.

"Captain Pearson, let me teach you something. A Superpower User’s power and their physical stamina are inseparable.

Just having a Superpower isn’t enough. Is that what you usually teach the people under you?"

Liam Grant sounded as if he were giving earnest advice, but his tone was dripping with mockery.

Many people in the surrounding crowd started to laugh.

"Nonsense! That’s not how Captain Pearson teaches us at all!"

A team member spoke up indignantly on Chester Pearson’s behalf.

"Sounds like you’ve learned a lot. Why don’t you have a match with our Captain Grant?"

someone said.

"From what I see, your Captain Grant isn’t all that.

Picking on an injured man... you’re not worried you can’t actually beat him, are you?"

A familiar voice cut in.

Both Leo Hale and Daniel Hale looked over, pleasantly surprised.

"Nina Jacobs, you’re back?!"

Leo Hale immediately felt that they might have a chance to turn things around now.

He didn’t know about anyone else, but when it came to Nina Jacobs, he always had a strange sense of trust.

"Nina Jacobs?"

Liam Grant hadn’t expected Nina Jacobs to show up at this moment either.

The intel his men had gathered was that Nina had left to lie low because of that incident.

He never thought she would actually come back.

"This young lady is so eager to defend Captain Pearson,"

"don’t tell me you want to fight in his place too? Hahaha."

Sheldon Holden didn’t recognize Nina Jacobs.

Seeing the ordinary-looking whip in her hand, he just thought she was here to cause trouble.

"Not exactly.

I don’t care about the issue between you all.

I just want to see for myself what our shelter’s number one fighter is made of."

Nina Jacobs said.

"Nina Jacobs, do you know what you’re saying?"

Liam Grant’s face darkened.

He knew that Nina Jacobs had awakened a Fire Element Superpower in this life.

But he was someone who had possessed a Fire Element Superpower in two lifetimes.

Before, Renee Strong had said Nina was just trying to get his attention. He hadn’t believed it then, but now he had no choice but to.

Otherwise, how would Nina dare to say something so provocative to him in front of everyone?

"Of course, I do.

Don’t worry, Captain Grant. Even if I can’t win, I won’t just randomly pull someone in front of me to take a hit."

Nina’s words plunged the scene into a momentary silence, which was then broken by a burst of roaring laughter.

Chelsea Walsh even laughed until she cried.

"Nina, my gut tells me you’ve got this in the bag today!"

Sherry Renner shouted loudly.

She hadn’t been taking a side, since she had only arrived at the shelter a few days ago and didn’t know who Liam Grant was.

But now that Nina Jacobs was back, she had to pick a side.

"Then what are we waiting for?

Let’s make this quick.

But let me make it clear, this is just a match between you two.

No one is to be fatally wounded."

Sheldon Holden didn’t want this incident to further tarnish Liam Grant’s reputation.

If word got out that Liam Grant killed a woman, it would be really difficult for him to protect him.

Liam Grant nodded and said,

"Nina Jacobs, since we’re old acquaintances, I’ll let you have the first three moves today."

"No need. I don’t take handouts."

Nina Jacobs’s lips curled into a smile as she provocatively beckoned to Liam Grant with her finger.

"Fine. You’re the one forcing my hand."

With that, Liam Grant launched his attack on Nina Jacobs.

It was a fist wreathed in flames, its power not to be underestimated.

The people around them all broke into a cold sweat for Nina Jacobs.

Just when everyone thought Nina was frozen in fear, she simply sidestepped slightly, seemingly dodging the attack with ease.

But an expert could tell that it was definitely not a move one could dodge easily.

Liam Grant’s attack hit nothing but air.

As he was about to continue his attack on Nina, who was now beside him, she had already closed the distance!

An elbow strike landed on his waist, the force so painful that tears almost sprang from his eyes.

But he held it in.

"This young lady is no simple character!"

Not far away, inside the shelter, a stocky, middle-aged man with a booming voice was watching the scene and remarked.

Justin Lawson didn’t speak.

He had only heard about Nina Jacobs from Ian Chandler before. He also knew she was Daniel Hale’s stepdaughter, but he never expected her to be so bold.

And now, even the battle-hardened Samson Thorne was singing her praises.

"Let’s watch a little longer. I hear that kid does have some skill."
