Chapter 222 You must be joking!

"What?! Did you just say the remaining grains belong to you?" Antelope asked again, his eyes widening as he tried to confirm whether he had heard her correctly.

"Yes. You heard me right." Ivy’s voice was calm yet firm, leaving no room for negotiation. "After every other base receives its share of the grains, every remaining sack inside this warehouse belongs to me."

"Oh, no! You must be joking." Antelope threw his head back and burst into mocking laughter. "How can you even say something like that? If that isn’t greed, then I don’t know what is!"

Ivy let out a cold scoff before folding her arms across her chest.

"Greed?" she repeated, raising an eyebrow. "Tell me, Commander Antelope... what exactly did Antelope Base contribute to this mission?"

The smile on Antelope’s face stiffened.

Ivy took another step forward, her sharp gaze fixed directly on him.

"You were the one who said that anyone who didn’t fight wouldn’t receive anything. I remember your exact words." She paused for a brief moment before continuing. "The second Darren and I arrived, you and your entire team stopped fighting. Every single one of you stood there in shock because the woman you had looked down on was killing monsters that you couldn’t even scratch."

The surrounding leaders lowered their heads, unable to deny her words.

"Aren’t you supposed to be the overall commander of this entire operation?" Ivy continued mercilessly. "Every base here has its own leader, yet you’re supposed to be the leader of all those leaders. And what happened? You failed."

She pointed toward the battlefield inside the warehouse.

"Your poor judgment nearly got everyone killed. If Darren and I hadn’t arrived when we did, this place would’ve become nothing more than a feeding ground for those monsters."

Antelope’s expression turned with rage. "That’s bullshit!" he roared, veins bulging across his forehead. "Don’t stand there acting like some hero! You think you can feed me that nonsense? Who the hell do you think you are?" He jabbed a finger toward Ivy. "You seriously think I’m going to stand here and watch you distribute those grains however you please?"

Ivy remained completely unfazed, her expression didn’t change in the slightest. "It’s better if you leave peacefully now, Commander Antelope," she said in an icy voice. "There’s nothing here for you."

The other base leaders exchanged uneasy glances before swallowing nervously as no one dared to interrupt or support Antelope either.

This bitch must be crazy...Antelope gritted his teeth, murderous intent flashing through his eyes and without warning, he secretly activated his control ability.

His spiritual energy silently spread outward as he attempted to invade Ivy’s mind and seize control of her consciousness.

However, the instant he selected Ivy as his target, Ivy disappeared from where she was standing and before Antelope could even react, she had already appeared right in front of him and pressed the barrel of her bomb gun firmly against the center of his forehead.

Everything happened so quickly that no one present managed to see her movements.

Antelope froze as cold sweat instantly trickled down his back. His pupils shrank violently as his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

"W...w ..What did I do now?" he stammered, his arrogant demeanor vanishing completely. Fear filled both his voice and his trembling expression. "You refused to give my soldiers and me the grains we worked for, and now you’re pointing a gun at my head?"

The soldiers from Antelope Base immediately reacted as within seconds, dozens of rifles, pistols, crossbows, and other weapons were aimed directly at Ivy.

The members of the other bases gasped loudly before instinctively retreating several steps. Some of them even tightened their grip on their weapons, uncertain whether they should interfere or remain neutral.

Ivy didn’t even spare the surrounding soldiers a glance, ber eyes remained locked on Antelope while a mocking smile slowly appeared on her lips.

"Do you not understand English?" she asked with a scoff. "I clearly told you to leave. Yet instead of listening, you chose to stay behind and prove just how foolish you really are."

"Foolish?" Antelope repeated before letting out another rough, sinister laugh despite the gun still pressed against his forehead.

His eyes swept across the surrounding survivors, soldiers, and leaders.

"Everyone here knows who I am, don’t they?" he shouted proudly. "I’m Commander Antelope! The leader of Antelope Base!" He spread his arms arrogantly. "You all know how many soldiers I command. You all know how many weapons are under my control."

His gaze turned vicious as it landed back on Ivy while a cruel smile slowly spread across his face. "I’ll make everyone an offer."

The entire warehouse fell silent.

"Whoever kills this woman..." he declared loudly, pointing directly at Ivy, "...and wipes out every single member of Fiercehunter Base will receive one thousand units’ worth of resources from Antelope Base. Absolutely free."
