Chapter 240: 240. Anna’s Determination

Anna heard this and felt rather astounded. There were a total of five families who controlled the overall of the base. From Lucy’s family, it was her second uncle. Her father was the fourth child. There were a lot of children in her family members and almost all of them entered military.

From Mark’s family, it was his father. His father didn’t have many siblings but some of his cousins also entered military. They were Mark’s distance cousin and everyone worked together most of the time.

There were some contradictions with each other, but it was not too much.

Mason Family and Davis Family were other families that Anna was not close with. And her impression with Davis Family was not very good because of the clash between them and Uncle Darien back then.

She was not sure about the details, though.

"I hope things get better soon," Anna said quietly.

"Well, I hope so too." Lucy sighed. "The only good thing from this is that we’re not the only base that had this problem. From what I heard, all bases are experiencing the same thing and countless people fell sick at almost the same time. At the very least, today alone there were thousands of cases."

Thousands of cases?

Anna shivered when she heard this. She felt that the situation was not good, but she didn’t expect that it would be so bad.

"How do you know the situation of other base?"

"Oh, one of the aunt who’s in the same ward received a call and then talked about it. There’s a negotiation between our base and Sunshine Base in regards to some of murder case."

"Murder case?" Anna was a bit surprised.

"Yes." Lucy thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you remember Naele Family? John Mayne Naele?"

John?

Anna faintly recall that she seemed to be the one who killed John back then because they bumped on the street and the two sides didn’t have any interest to part peacefully. However, it was done in the wilderness and they didn’t exactly leave any traces there.

"Yes."

"His older brother is the head of Naele Family and he’s furious. It’s said that during this period of time, a lot of people from Sunshine Base was investigated. Since he didn’t manage to find the culprit, he seems to be setting his eyes on the other two bases. Everyone felt headache, but now that there’s a problem in every base, he had to stop even if he’s unwilling."

Anna was quiet.

What she feared before had come.

She knew very well that the so called chaos during that period of time was nothing more but temporary. After they had gathered with their family members again, it was highly possible for them to get strong.

Even if they were all caught off guard, but the foundation was still there. A skinny camel was still bigger than a horse.

Eh, that was the right phrase, right?

In any case, Anna knew that Naele Family should manage to gather enough power for themselves. If she had killed any of those four annoying people, it was estimated that the family behind them would chase after her.

She was not very afraid because she could live outside and hid somewhere.

But in that situation, she would be very lonely without anyone to contact or anyone to befriend with. Because those who dared to side with her would definitely face Naele Family’s wrath.

Anna didn’t want that.

So she still held her hand back.

Even if she threatened them and acted as if she was not afraid, she still didn’t dare to do it in the end.

Sometimes, Anna felt that she was truly a coward.

She didn’t dare to cross the line and offended those powerful people. Even if the world had changed like this, she knew very well that there were people whom she could not offend with her meagre ability.

’Should I pursue power and authority?’

If she wanted to, she could dedicate her time to work her way up and gather a lot of power.

It was not completely impossible.

But at the same time, Anna knew that that kind of life would be very tiring.

She never had any interest in those power and authority and so on. Even her family business was not very interesting for Anna, which was why her mother originally wanted to help her find someone who could help her to manage the company.

In that way, she would not lose money.

Anna closed her eyes and then opened it again.

She attacked John outside, in the messy area and didn’t leave any evidences behind. Even if they might be able to trace it back to her someday, it would definitely take some time and would not happen overnight.

Besides, there were many people who didn’t like Naele Family, so their suspicion wouldn’t be placed on her who didn’t have much confrontation with John. Though, they did have some contradiction in the past, but the scale was relatively small.

It would be unlikely for them to put their eyes on her anytime soon.

So she still has time.

She didn’t want other people to dictate how her life should be and what her life direction should be.

Her mind landed on her space.

As long as her so called mental strength was stronger, she would be able to control more things to appear in the distance. In that situation, she would be able to protect herself to a certain degree.

Even if this ability was a bit tasteless to attack, but it was still something.

’I’ll train my mental strength more.’

As long as she was able to control more things, she would be able to win in the confrontation.

Anna’s eyes flashed with determination.

What she didn’t know was that the faint illusory barrier inside her mind was slowly weakened with Anna’s decision. It was changing faintly, but those who didn’t see it would never realize it.
