Chapter 1447


    Car! noticed that Nicole was mad at him, and so, he had to make the first move and apologize. "Don''t


    get too upset at me, okay?


    You know I said those things because I was worried about you. Since you''re here already, you can stay


    as long as you wart. I''ll definitely protect you."


    "Now, that sounds a lot better. I thought you were about to bite my head off, for a second there." Nicole


    walked past him, noticing that he was looking down at the floor.

    Seeing that Nicole had calmed down, Carl continued asking, "So, can you tell me now? Did youe


    here for something?"


    CarI stared at Nicole''s eyes and sized her up. ‘She must have gotten herself into trouble. Otherwise,


    she wouldn''t havee to such a dangerous ce without telling me. Or am I wrong, and that she


    simply misses me?"


    "It''s because of you. We haven''t met in such a long time, so I thought of giving you a surprise." Nicole


    replied, not wanting to tell him the truth, as she was being tailed by a group of unknown people.


    CarI''s base was the best possible safe house for her, in part because there were a lot of men from the


    Raven guarding each and every point of entry. The people tailing her could never enter the ce. Even


    if they managed to break through and survive the


    Raven''s assault, they would not be able to reach the base.


    If she had told Carl about it, he would have be more worried, and bombarded her with more


    questions. Nicole did not want toplicate things. The best way out for her was for her to deal with


    the people as discreetly as possible. As for the person who had sounded the rm, she would discover


    who he was once she met Zeke.


    "Surprise me? No one would believe you.” Carl looked at Nicole with his brows furrowed.


    Indeed, she had given him an excuse, thinking she could fool him the way she could fool a kid.


    "It''s up to you whether you choose to buy it or not. After all, I really dide here to give you a


    surprise." Nicole said with a look of indifference on her face.


    Then, she closed her eyes and took a nap.


    “I''m going to take a nap,” she said. "You should get busy."


    Did she just give me an order to leave? Carl nced at Nicole, turned around and left.


    Then, he gently closed the door behind him and went to the master control room.


    Hearing the door closing, Nicole opened her eyes and tiptoed to the door.


    She heaved a sigh of relief after Carl had walked away. ‘I did not expect Carl to have such a keen eye.


    He could actually tell that I was lying to him. Did my expression give it away? I guess it wouldn''t be


    easy to keep it a secret from Carl.’


    "Are there any strange urrences outside?" Carl walked into the master control room and asked.


    “Nothing unusual, but it seems that there are few members from the Raven hovering outside the base,”


    his subordinates reported to him.


    “Hovering? Can we see them?” Carl asked.


    "We can see some of them," his subordinate said. “However, we can''t see them clearly because they


    are a little too far away."


    "Zoom in."


    All they could see was a small group of people, who were busy doing something at the entrance road


    to the base. The corner of Car''''s lips curled up in response, forming a prideful smile.


    ‘It must be the ce where Nicole had broken through,” he said. "They must be recovering from the


    ambush.”


    "Keep a close eye on them. Don''t let them enter,” Carl ordered.


    "Understood."


    Then, Carl went down to examine all of the sites at the base. As he was walking past the production


    site, he noticed f there, and went in.


    “f, are the droids ready to resume operation?" Carl asked.


    “Almost. The only part that needs to be repaired are these. The rest are pretty much done,” f


    reported the situation to him as he saw Carl approaching.


    "That''s good. We must resume production as soon as possible. We are in crucial need of powerful


    droids like Brave." Carl looked at f solemnly and said.


    "Understood." f returned the stare with the same degree of seriousness.


    He knew of the Brave''s importance to everyone. If it wasn''t for Brave, they might have been


    overwhelmed and defeated by the


    Raven, with the Brave falling into their hands as well.
