This time, her attitude was much more serious, a complete departure from her previous cavalier demeanor.
It looked like she was genuinely wavering.
Selene Larkin wasn't surprised by this. 'Few people could resist the offer I've made,' she thought.
No matter how capable she was, she was still just one person. She couldn't compare to a massive base like theirs. But if she joined them, things would be different.
'What a pity…'
'Before, I really did have that intention. I planned to let her go for now, recruit her if the opportunity arose, and if not, eliminate her in secret later on.'
But after what River Larkin had just said, she'd changed her mind. This woman had to die. Otherwise, if word got out, Sanctyr Base would be utterly disgraced.
This time, the only way their base could regain its lost honor was by killing her.
So, no matter what choice she made, her final fate was sealed: death.
