Stella Sterling sighed and finally said, "It's not that I look down on you."
'Well, when it comes to combat ability, I really don't have much faith in him.'
But Stella Sterling held her tongue, swallowing the words before they could escape.
She changed her tone. "Besides, your parents are at Meridia Base. If I were to poach you for my base, I doubt they would let you go."
"And while there's no conflict between me and Meridia Base right now, that doesn't mean there never will be."
"You have to understand, this is an era of fighting for resources. No one can guarantee that Meridia Base and I won't end up competing for them."
When that happens, would you help me, or would you help Meridia Base?"
Louis Grant calmed down after hearing her words. He scratched his head. 'So that's what Stella was thinking. I was just overthinking things.'
