Chapter 44: Disappear

They quickly arrived at Kim Hana's location. The woman immediately stopped fighting because she saw Oliver coming with Miya, her boss.

Her level seemed to have improved quite a lot.

"Boss!"

She greeted Miya directly without addressing Oliver at all other than a light nod, acting like they weren't that familiar.

Oliver was indifferent to her as well.

He moved on while ordering the shadow army to open the way ahead.

It might be a bit too early for them to return to the base. However, one problem for them was that it was difficult to find monsters on their level. Continuing to hunt monsters was also useless as it wouldn't raise their level.

On the way back to the base, they really didn't find any monsters at Level 9 and above.

In the end, they just kept walking while the monsters in the way were taken care of by the shadow army. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The journey back always felt fast.

It wasn't long before they arrived back at the base which they entered through one of the manhole covers which they just had to step on and they were dropped into the base.

From there they went straight to the main room.

Upon arrival, Miya said to Kim Hana, "Hana, bring Ruby here!"

After saying that she immediately sat down on the sofa, picked up the bottle of water left on the table and drank voraciously.

Kim Hana immediately did as she was told, going to the warehouse.

Oliver and Miya waited for her return while Jackson looked curious as he looked around.

The base was practically empty and then Ruby, he wondered what was going on here.

Not long after, Kim Hana came out of the warehouse.

However, her expression looked pale and she was alone.

"B-boss, th-this is problem," she said with a trembling voice.

Miya immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That woman is missing," Kim Hana replied, able to speak fluently but her voice was very quiet.

If not for the evolution of their bodies, Miya and Oliver would not have heard her words.

However, how could she be missing here? Did someone come and help her?

The problem was not her disappearance, but the fact that she knew information about their powers.

Miya took out her cell phone and called someone, who was probably Ruby.

Apparently, her call was answered immediately.

"Where are you?" she asked in a cold tone.

"Kekeke..." Suddenly, a chuckling sound echoed from Miya's cell phone.

It was definitely Ruby's voice.

"What's up, Miya dear, are you curious now?" she said in a teasing tone.

As a close friend, it was natural for her to call Miya with a special extra word. It was just that, because their friendship status was ruined, so such a call could be interpreted as mockery and provocation.

Miya's expression looked very gloomy, turning the air very cold.

"How did you leave? I've edited this base's system, everyone registered besides the three of us has been blocked including you. No one should be able to go in and out including you," she said.

Rather than asking anything else, she seemed to be more interested in how she got free.

When she asked about that, she glared at Kim Hana, making the latter stagger backwards until she almost fell.

Logically, Ruby could only get free if she was helped by one of the three of them.

Miya knew it wasn't her and she didn't suspect Oliver, so the only one she suspected was Kim Hana.

After all, they were separated for quite some time, and she knew that Oliver left on his own first, leaving Kim Hana alone behind. She could have gone back to the base to help Ruby.

Even Oliver was suspicious of her so he looked at her with furrowed brows.

Had this woman who loved cosplay really betrayed them?

However, it was also possible if Ruby somehow offered her something she couldn't refuse. After all, they continued to meet regularly because Kim Hana was the one feeding her.

It was just that, if Kim Hana was betrayed, she should have already left and there was no way she would send a signal of help to him, let alone dare to return.

"Right, CCTV..." Oliver suddenly remembered that this base was full of CCTV.

They didn't have to wait for Ruby's answer, and she was still laughing right now.

Miya nodded to Oliver, letting him check the CCTV.

"Boss, I swear I don't know anything." Kim Hana spoke to Miya, like she wanted to cry.

She knew she was under suspicion, so she could only show such an expression.

Oliver himself went to one of the LCD screens hanging on the wall.

From there he could check the CCTV footage that was always saved every hour.

However, when he opened the storage folder, it turned out to be empty.

"How is that possible?" Kim Hana who was watching from afar spontaneously said and staggered again.

Without the footage, the suspicion against her only grew.

Who could delete them?

That naturally required a special code that only Miya as the leader of this base knew.

However, Kim Hana was very good at computers plus she was always with Miya. Maybe she found some loopholes.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much..." Ruby suddenly spoke again.

"Even though I'm free, I haven't told anyone about your secret and probably won't tell anyone. To be honest, I was severely traumatized after being captured by you. Maybe it's funny that a woman like me can be traumatized, but really, I tremble every time I think about exposing your secret. Plus, rationally, I realize that you and your nephew are too dangerous.

If I fight you, there's no guarantee I can win even with the help of many people. It's possible that we'll be the ones to lose badly."

"Tell me how you left?" Miya responded to her words by asking again.

She seemed even angrier now that all the CCTV footage had been deleted.

Perhaps if she didn't find the answer, she wouldn't be able to sleep even if she caught Ruby again now.

She was haunted by curiosity.
