Someone might have committed terrible acts in their past life and even harmed a base, but in this life, they may genuinely want to repent and ensure they never repeat the same mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards studied Jade closely, their gazes deep and unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them finally spoke, his voice steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s truly the case, then such a person would indeed be given a chance to repent. However, that depends entirely on intent. If the repentance is genuine, special consideration will be given. Beyond that, we can’t promise anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade opened his mouth to press further, but before he could, Frank, clearly anxious, grabbed Jade and his wife by the arm and dragged them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip was tight, his steps hurried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were out of earshot, Frank turned on Jade, his brows knitted together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were you thinking?\" His voice dropped into a harsh whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn’t you just accept it? You were practically warning them. Do you want to make them suspicious of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade remained silent for a moment before replying calmly, \"It’s better to be cautious. I want to make sure there’s no hidden danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then frowned deeply. \"You’re acting strange. Are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed. \"Did you eat something poisonous, or what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words made Frank pause. His eyes widened slightly as he reflected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I am paranoid by nature,’ he admitted to himself, ’but earlier... I lowered my guard.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone felt wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at Jade. \"Did you see anything? A vision?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade shook his head. \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after a brief pause, he added quietly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I know one thing for sure. If you are behaving like this, something is definitely off. We need to stay alert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank nodded slowly. \"Agreed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them soon arrived at an apartment and settled in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After unpacking, Frank sat down heavily, thoughts churning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the military base was destroyed, he had planned to live here and terminate the residency when the apocalypse ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never intended to stay here long. But after everything that had happened, his perspective shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It might be better to buy a house here,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, he began asking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to a few officials, he was soon directed to the secret department that allowed people to exchange assets, gold, and valuables for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he approached the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here to exchange a valuable asset.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha looked up at him and smiled politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can present the asset documents. We’ll need to verify them first. There’s also a transfer document, since the military base structure has already been dismantled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused before adding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll also need to write a letter clearly stating that you’re transferring ownership of these assets. Otherwise, there could be serious issues later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank nodded. \"That’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outwardly, he agreed, but inwardly his heart raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There has to be a way to trick this,’ he thought. ’I need the food, but I can’t lose everything.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, he began drafting the document. When he finished, he handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha read through it carefully and immediately spotted the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without being a legal expert, the loopholes were obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank had written that the assets would be transferred in exchange for food, but if the food was not received, the document would be invalid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, he had left room to later claim that the food had never been delivered properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the apocalypse ended and he regained his former position, he could easily accuse the base of abusing civilian rights and nullify the entire agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha didn’t fall for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up and pointed directly at the problematic section. \"This won’t work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank’s expression changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That clause had been deliberate. He had expected her to sign without scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Martha smiled faintly. \"You’ll need to remove this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank quickly recovered, returning the smile. \"That was a mistake. I’ll fix it right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t respond immediately, letting the silence press down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she spoke, her tone cold. \"This is your last chance. If you try to deceive me again, don’t bother coming here in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill ran down Frank’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m the one in the wrong,’ he realized, unsettled. ’Then why does she feel so commanding?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, he rewrote the contract. This time, there were no loopholes. No escape clauses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha reviewed it once more and finally nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She signed her name and began processing the transfer, counting through the property deeds one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she did, even she couldn’t help but marvel. ’This is the wealth Frank had been sitting on all this time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collection was massive, nearly fifty properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when Frank had partnered with the military, many of those assets had been military-owned real estate, most of which had later been transferred directly to Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha paused for a moment, fingers brushing over the stack of documents, and a quiet thought crossed her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I present this as a gift, Ivy would be genuinely thrilled.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer value alone made it worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once General Frank finished signing every last detail, Martha felt her shoulders relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no doubt left in her heart, this time, he had truly handed over everything he had been hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No reserves. No safety net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the moment General Frank saw the amount of food allocated to him, his eyes lit up with barely concealed greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight alone made his pulse quicken. ’So much food...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ambition surged, stronger than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already understood one thing clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ivy in control of the base, he would never rise back to the position of general. That path was closed to him forever. So he abandoned it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.808Z",1,"novelbin.me","461c6438f6073b079938b9cb38ed37c532c7405cc4760f188df691ac0fa9969b","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-483","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-481",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
