    Chapter 168 The Price of Revenge


    Chapter 168 The Price of Revenge


    * Free Comme


    How great it was that K1 Camp didn’t need Theresa to feed them while working for her.


    Lucas felt like he’d struck gold, especially after hearing Hope Camp’s outrageous offer. Compared to that, Theresa’s prices were practically a public service.


    “Oh, and one more thing,” Lucas added, leaning in slightly. “Hope Camp wants to buy Evoloid from you.”


    Theresa’s eyes lit up instantly. “Bennie Green?”


    “Yeah. He came to me carlier trying to sell Evoloid. When he heard you had a better product, he wanted to buy a dose.”


    “What’s he charging?”


    “One dose for one ton of food and ten thermal jackets.”


    Theresa’s jaw nearly hit the floor.


    “What the hell!” she burst out. “That b*stard’s gonepletely crooked!”


    No, the real problem was that she had been undercharging all along.


    She wasn’t just losing money–she was bleeding it.


    “How dare he price it that high!”


    Lucas raised an eyebrow. “So… are you going to sell to him?”


    “Sell? Of course I’ll sell!” she snapped. “One dose for one thousand gleamstones. And he must include a gleamstone from a zombie with a mental maniption ability. Otherwise, no deal!”


    Lucas was speechless.


    Theresa was seething.


    She could tolerate her ownck of profit, but watching someone she despised making a fortune? That was unbearable.


    “You tell everyone–every camp can buy my Evoloid. Standard rate: twenty gleamstones per dose. But Hope Camp? They pay my price!”


    She wasn’t just going to gouge Bennie–she was going to crush him in a price war.


    The thought of him profiting made her feel physically sick. Letting him off the hook was out of the question.


    No–he had to pay.


    Lucas tried to suppress a grin. Theresa’s fury was kind of contagious. “Alright, I’ll get the word out. One more thing–I’m nning another joint–camp raid. Target’s a clothing depot. You in?”


    HI


    O

    “Who else is going?” she asked.

    “I invited a bunch of camps,” Lucas admitted, “but most turned me down. It’s too cold now. Thest group that joined us for the grain run decided it wasn’t worth the risk. They’ve got enough food tost the winter.”


    Theresa nodded slowly. It made sense. With temperatures dropping and danger increasing, no one wanted to gamble their safety.


    “This depot’s way out in the suburbs. It’s a massive wholesale center, but we don’t know what kind of threats are out there.”


    “So, who did say yes?”


    “Only Haven Camp.”


    The moment Lucas said it, Theresa shot to her feet.


    “Haven Camp?”


    “That’s right. They’re close to the target and agreed to team up. If you’re noting, I’ll just take them.”


    “No–I’m going with you.”


    Haven Camp.


    The name alone brought back a flood of memories.


    In herst life, fate had thrown her into Haven Camp. From the day she arrived, ability users had tried to take advantage of her. If it hadn’t been for Tyger–who’d stepped in a few times during those early days- she never would’ve survived.


    Even when she gained strength of her own, those b*stards kepting for her. Always scheming. Always setting traps. And the camp leader? That phony, two–faced snake yed the nice guy while sabotaging her every chance he got. When the zombies besieged the camp, he even threw her to the front lines like cannon fodder.


    She had fought that entire camp for ten bitter years.


    And now, in this life… fate had handed her a second chance.


    They’d walked right into her sights–and she intended to settle the score.


    “When do we leave?”


    “Three days. Once the cold snap lifts, we go.”


    “Fine,” Theresa said, about to hang up. Then she added sharply, “Oh–and you make sure my Evoloid never goes to Haven Camp.”


    Lucas blinked. “Alright…”


    Something told him Theresa had history with Haven Camp. Bad history.


    HI


    O


    Chapter 168 The Price of Revenge


    This trip wasn’t going to be a friendly outing.


    * <b>Froe </b>Coins


    Over the next three days, Theresa buried herself in ability training within her camp.


    The gleamstones Lucas had promised arrived, along with the ones from Bennie.


    Bennie had spent the entire night thinking it over before finally agreeing to her deal. One thousand gleamstones, including the only mental maniption gleamstone his camp had managed to dig up.


    He wanted to see for himself if Theresa’s Evoloid was really worth the hype.


    So, he personally went to K1 Camp.


    And when he saw the sample Lucas handed him–wless, high–purity Evoloid without even the tiniest impurity–he stood frozen in ce.


    No impurities.


    Not even a speck.


    The purity level was so high it was almost unbelievable.
