Only then did Nathaniel's group realize something.Drones were everywhere in Hayley's territory."That's not a normal drone," Dean said, stunned. "That's a recon-strike drone.""A recon-strike drone?" Constant asked."It combines surveillance and attack functions. It doesn't even need human commands. It can automatically engage targets."Everyone's expressions tightened.Even something that looked ordinary turned out to be advanced military tech.Strike drones filled the skies across Haylight Base.Their defenses clearly didn't rely on the massive wall alone. The entire interior was covered by automated aerial surveillance.In terms of security, this place surpassed their own base.Nathaniel kept watching Hayley."What?" she asked."When we saw the fighting outside your wall earlier… Those were trained young soldiers, right?""Oh, no," Hayley said casually. "They're students. Today was their final exam."That single sentence shocked the others again."You restored a scho

Nathaniel truly wanted to marry Hayley.The more he learned about her, the stronger that desire became.At first, he had just been fascinated by her. She always seemed to have another hidden card, another surprise waiting behind her smile.Now, he was equally captivated by her base.Base K1 was powerful; powerful enough that Ark One absolutely needed a connection to it.He still didn't know who the actual director of Base K1 was, but it had to be someone tied to the Caldwells. Whoever ran this place clearly held serious influence, and Hayley had to be part of the upper leadership.Marrying her meant gaining both the person and the power behind her. It was a win multiplied ten times over.Nathaniel couldn't find a single downside.Well, except for one thing.Hayley claimed she was pregnant. Given her current strength, forcing her to end the pregnancy wasn't an option.Fine. Then he would just become the father.Compared to everything he stood to gain, accepting ready-made chi

"Leena."The young girl Leena had saved scrambled behind her, trembling. She couldn't have been older than 13. She was just a kid.Leena glanced back at her teammate. "You're not taking her."The manager sneered, "We've got orders from above. We need 50 young girls for tomorrow's distinguished guests. Leena, I'm already doing you a favor by not grabbing you. Move aside. Otherwise, no one's backing will save you."Leena's expression darkened as the manager stepped forward to seize the girl."You're not taking her," she said quietly. "I'll go instead."The manager stopped mid-step. He looked at Leena, surprise turning into a satisfied grin."Well, if you're volunteering, that works for me. Your choice. No one forced you. Come on, then.""Wait. I need to say something first."He sighed impatiently but waved a hand. "Fine. Make it quick."Leena helped her teammate to her feet and spoke softly but firmly. "Go back and tell everyone. Don't stop training. Keep going. I'll find a way

Hayley looked at the idiot across the table, waved casually to Liam, then stood up and left.This time, she had brought plenty of people with her.Liam could deal with these fools.She trusted him completely, anyway. When Liam spoke, it was basically the same as her speaking.And frankly, these people respected Liam more. Even those who looked down on Base K1 showed at least a little more respect toward a man."I'm heading out. You handle it," Hayley said.She couldn't be bothered to waste another word. She turned and walked away.Griffin, Leonard, and Thomas immediately followed behind her.Liam watched them leave, a faint crease forming beneath his mask before his expression smoothed out again."The young lady from your base has quite a temper," Gerard said mockingly. "You should really discipline her.""You don't need to worry about her," Liam replied calmly. "Her temperament is widely acknowledged as excellent. She treats others exactly the way she's treated. If someone t

"I left it to someone on my team to manage," Leena said quietly, lowering her head. "But it probably won't last much longer.""You'll make it. I believe in you," Hayley said with an easy smile.Leena looked up.Hayley stood there calm and steady, sharp eyes filled with quiet confidence. A powerful presence radiated from her without effort.After she spoke, the people behind her chimed in one after another."You've got this, kid," Griffin said, arms crossed. "Boss and I checked things out last time. You built a whole Women's Unit out there. That's impressive.""Seriously. Respect," Leonard added, giving her a thumbs up.Thomas looked at her with warm approval. "You're doing something brave. I admire girls like you."As Leena listened to their encouragement, something unfamiliar surged inside her chest. It felt like seeing light after struggling alone in endless darkness.These people carried light with them. It was bright, alive, and hopeful, completely different from the numb,
