Chapter 285

When Aria Bennett proposed resetting the system, she already had her payment demands calculated.

"I want a helicopter," she stated bluntly.

With a chopper, their operational efficiency would double.

Ronan Caldwell and the others' eyes lit up. Why hadn't they thought of that?

Lieutenant Carter looked slightly surprised. "I'll need to clear that with my superiors."

"No problem," Aria replied, having anticipated this. "Also, we'll each need two firearms for protection."

"In exchange, you can call on me anytime you need my help in the future."

Carter agreed readily: "The guns I can authorize right now."

An hour later.

Inside the armory, Ezra Vaughn cradled a brand-new sniper rifle like a treasure. "Aria, you're a genius!"

Miles Sutton grinned foolishly at his chosen submachine gun.

Declan Ross and Ronan Caldwell also found their dream weapons.

"Easy," Aria said, twirling two sleek handguns. "Stick with me, and I'll make sure you live the good life."

The group chorused: "Damn right!"

[Live comments exploded]

[Ahhh I wanna touch guns too!]

[Aria, need a sidekick? I have a college degree!]

[International fans joining the hype lol]

Carter returned with good news: "Command approved the helicopter."

Aria arched a brow. "Then let's reset the system now."

Three hours later.

The system reboot completed. Carter successfully used his new clearance to open the secured doors.

"Thank you so much!" His voice shook with excitement.

Aria waved him off. "I'm going to rest."

In a shadowy corridor corner late at night.

Two furtive figures conversed in an obscure dialect.

Aria held her breath, listening intently.

[Live comments went wild]

[What are they saying?!]

[Oh no I can't understand!]

[Someone translate please I'm dying here!]

Knowledgeable viewers quickly translated the exchange.

Those who read the translation instantly panicked.

[Holy shit!]

[Aria, run!]

[Something terrible's about to happen!]
