The endless interrogations. The humiliation. Those memories were burned into her soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Ivy raised her hand slightly and motioned toward Martha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha frowned at first. She didn’t immediately understand what Ivy wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after working with Ivy for so long, she had learned one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy never acted without a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So without questioning it further... Martha suddenly clapped her hands once. Then she let out a sharp whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piercing sound echoed through the corridor outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment... The office doors burst open. Armed soldiers rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian’s eyes darkened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is bad.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation had completely turned against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging from Ivy’s hostile expression...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negotiations were already on the verge of collapsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still... He wasn’t someone who gave up easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a slow breath, Ian looked directly at Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I truly don’t understand why you hate me so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was calm but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you treat visiting businessmen like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should think about the reputation you are creating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze sharpened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, if you attack a potential partner...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you not afraid that other base leaders will refuse to trade with you in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet chuckle escaped Ivy’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was soft. But cold. Finally, she looked straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of answering his accusation, she asked a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were someone with no background ... If I had no protector...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice grew colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you still treat me this nicely?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian opened his mouth to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ivy’s next sentence froze him completely. \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was like a blade of ice. \"You wouldn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at him as if she could see through his soul. \"You would have imprisoned me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words were sharp. Merciless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of some fabricated misunderstanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes turned darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if you realize that I possess a special protective ability... you would torture me until I used it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian’s gaze slowly hardened as he looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now... He finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So that’s it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hatred... It didn’t come from the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It came from the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She must have seen something.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Ivy had seen a fragment of the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe in that future, he had captured her after she lost her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And knowing himself... That scenario was actually very believable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian had always been ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an opportunity appeared before him, he would absolutely use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never believed that using someone as a pawn was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So yes. It was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Interesting...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So she fears a future that hasn’t even happened yet.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could think further...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers suddenly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They launched forward and began attacking Ian’s subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room erupted into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards who had been protecting Ian quickly formed a defensive sphere around him, blocking every incoming strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian snapped back to his senses immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp gaze locked onto Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You made a mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was low and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confronting me directly like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His subordinates tightened their formation around him as energy fluctuations began forming around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were preparing something. A teleportation escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ivy’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No... I can’t let him escape.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ian left today...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capturing him again would become nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Ivy activated her authority over the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her power spread outward instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She attempted to suppress the teleportation process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... It wasn’t that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could forcefully eject anyone from the base if she wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But forcing someone to stay against their will?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was different. It violated the Kindness Rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s teeth clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her frustration exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left with no other option, she silently begged the Temporal Storage within the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Do something. Please... don’t let him escape.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the calm voice of the Temporal Storage responded coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[My functions are limited to actions related to kindness. The rules of this base were established to protect kindness. What you are attempting now... is the opposite of kindness.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a brief pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It is already a mercy that I have not issued a punishment for your current intent. You should not request my assistance for such actions.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s chest tightened. But she refused to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This man ruined my life! He tortured me! He almost killed me in my previous life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice trembled with suppressed rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So why can’t I stop him now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I capture him... I will save countless lives in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Temporal Storage remained silent for a long moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it finally spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Humans often justify their actions in the name of kindness. But in reality... It is nothing more than an attempt to justify themselves.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that... It fell completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy clenched her fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no time to argue anymore. Her eyes snapped back toward Ian Morris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Think... There must be a way.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea appeared in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yes... that’s it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she couldn’t stop them from leaving...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she would store them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them. Inside the Temporal Storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Ivy raised her hand and waved it toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because both Ian and his subordinates hadn’t vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the calm voice of the Temporal Storage echoed once again inside Ivy’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[All individuals stored within the space without a karmic link cannot be harmed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was steady, mechanical, and emotionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If your intent to harm them is detected, the individuals will be automatically removed from the storage.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s jaw tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her teeth ground together as frustration surged through her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about karmic links from a previous life?\" she demanded in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice carried a sharp edge of desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Temporal Storage remained silent for a brief moment before replying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[For that functionality... an upgrade is required.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That simple answer only made Ivy feel even more irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Upgrade... of course.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1003,"2026-06-05T15:12:45.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","afa57c6e82213e73026d5d0e3d2eb8d42e21499f62bc7e110909af9b4420bf71","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-547","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-545",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
