The Wear Apocalypse Book
24. Sly fox

Emma had recently been feeling a little upset, she was repeatedly bullied by Olivia. Olivia also feels Emma's presence makes her unsettled, she wants to immediately remove Emma from Lane's presence.

"Captain, Emma and Olivia have often been at odds recently. Didn't the captain just separate them?" Joe's expression looked bitter, he had been asked by Lane to pay attention to Emma and Olivia.

"What's wrong? Is Olivia still asking me where I am?" Lane only looked at Joe for a moment and then went back to reading the pile of letters on his desk, he was also very busy and did not have time to take care of the two women.

"Yes the captain." Seeing Lane's indifference leads Joe to give up on his idea of stopping monitoring Emma and Olivia.

Lane frowned, she still remembered how Olivia pretended to be in love with him but behind him Olivia vilified her name. Lane's hand involuntarily clenched and broke the pen, Joe shudder in horror at Lane's unprovoked anger, he dares not ask about Captain Lane's relationship with Olivia.

"You go back to monitoring them, don't let Emma get hurt." Lane's orders. Joe did not dare to refute, he immediately left again by showing his bitter expression.

"Joe your duty is very important, don't let you be careless." Barnett patted Joe on the shoulder.

"Are you making fun?" Joe was a little offended at Barnett's words.

"Of course not." Barnett answered, but Barnett's face was mocking.

"Next time I'll recommend you to take my place watching them." Joe grinned.

"J-Joe are you kidding me?? Joe wait for me!" Joe leaves before Barnett finishes speaking, Barnett then chases Joe.

Jean enters her now-infested space, where she harvests vegetables and takes them outside.

"This aunt is for sale today, if you're tired just tell Liam and Misael." Jean had put out how many tens of kilos of rice that had been processed by the system and vegetables and meat.

"How can I hire them, isn't that the same as Mrs Gill?" Merrill refused.

"Auntie that's not right, we'll help you anyway this is not much." Mishael.

"Yes that's right aunt, while at Madame Gill's house we were even able to lift weights up to 20 kilos." Mishael.

"You-" Merril was moved and saddened to remember the mistress Giil's treatment of Misael and Liam.

"That's right, I don't ask them to work until they're tired anyway. If they get tired, I'll be scolded by grandma." Said Jean.

"Will miss go to the shelter base again?" Merril asked as he saw Jean packing up a lot of supplies in the pick up car.

"Of course, I was asked to bring these supplies to base by Adam." Answer Jean.

"Miss wait a minute." Merril then entered the house and came with a box of supplies.

"This? For Adam?" Jean was astonished.

"Of course, miss has to be with Adam right away so this is my goodwill and just consider this my gift of approval." Merril gave the box to Jean. The corner of Jean's mouth twitched, she didn't need approval because they hadn't even dated.

"okay." Jean didn't argue, she didn't want to argue with Merril.

"Liam watch your deer, lest he finish his vegetables again like last time." Jean's orders. The deer was about to eat vegetables but hearing Jean's orders made him snort in protest.

"Is this deer human?" Seeing the deer seem to protest making a black line on Jean's forehead.

"So don't be too hard with Toto, he just eats a little." Liam defended the deer.

"A little??" Jean blackened when he recalled yesterday's incident where all vegetables over 15 kilos were eaten away by the deer and left only deer feces.

"Sister.. " Liam was a little scared.

"Jean don't be so hard on Liam." Grandma Jean interrupted.

"Grandmother, I haven't even scolded Liam yet." Jean's expression looked bitter, she felt that she had been persecuted.

"Just give the vegetables to Toto, get the others out." Grandma Jean's orders. Jean could only bully her teeth and then pull out more vegetables.

The deer snorted as if proud of having defeated Jean. Jean could only stare at the deer, the next time he would kill it.

Sensing the threat from Jean's gaze, the deer was immediately frightened and took refuge behind Liam's body.

"Is this revenge?" Jean quietly asked inwardly, Jean felt the cannon bait attribute on this body had brought a lot of trouble for her.

Jean then immediately set off for the base, on her way Jean had attracted the attention of the wandering zombies, she quickly killed the zombies and immediately entered the peak stage of level four.

Jean's arrival at the base made people stare at the supplies in Jean's car, the refugees' eyes sparkling as they saw how many fresh groceries the soldiers had dropped from Jean's car.

"Where did the man get so much fresh food?" A refugee asked.

"I don't know, but I heard a rumor that there's a place where a mysterious person sells fresh groceries in our town, I think the guy got them from that place." The refugees began to talk.

Jean was very satisfied when she heard the conversation of the refugees, this way her supply store would soon be famous.

"John you've arrived." Adam comes to Jean, he is actually a little strange with the pseudonym Jean but he then familiarizes himself so that his future wife is not captured by other men.

"Yes, this is from aunt Merril." Jean handed Adam the box. Adam smiled, speculating that Jean asked Merril to make provisions for him.

"Let's talk somewhere else, here a little uncomfortable." Adam takes Jean to his office and finds Noel waiting.

"Miss Jean." Noel greeted Jean. Jean nodded, she did not dare to get close to Noel given Adam's threat.

"It's payment for groceries." Adam handed over hundreds of crystal nuclei to Jean, Jean's eyes sparkling at the thousands of white and yellow crystal nuclei before his eyes.

"And this is the capital to open a gun shop." Adam gave up a white crystal core of 1000 seeds.

"Are you sure you didn't take a penny of profit?" Jean still doubted Adam.

"That's right, after all, haven't we discussed the matter before?" Adam looked at Jean with a meaningful look. Jean felt cold by Adam's gaze, while Noel was just silent and unaware of the strange atmosphere around him.

"It-that I actually disagree with, at least you should get 10% of the store's profit." Jean was so nervous, she felt she could not bear being in the same room as Adam right now. As for 10℅ of the profits, it was actually so that Jean did not have any debt with Adam.

"All right, I agree." Adam replied with a chuckle, seeing the nervous Jean in front of him made Adam feel even more attractive Jean.

"Where do we start our business?" Ask Jean.

"I've ordered some soldiers to vacate some of the restaurant space on the first floor, so our shop is side by side with the restaurant that will also open today. As for the matter of the manager of the store, Noel himself will be the manager and his subordinates I have chosen carefully." Adam explained everything carefully to Jean. Hearing Adam's explanation made Jean feel very satisfied.

"Did Lane agree to this?" Jean felt everything was very smooth, so she was very curious about the reaction of the officials.

"I've handled it, the officials initially insisted on setting taxes but when they found out that the store's capital was coming from me, they fell silent again, so don't worry."

"Then can I see the store?" Jean felt she had to see where she was going to get her other business.

"Okay, come with me." Adam, Jean and Noel descend to the first floor via an exclusive elevator reserved only for Adam and the important guests.

Jean then sees the store is clean and right next to the restaurant, Jean also meets with Joe and Lane.

"John, are you also preparing your business plan?" Ask Lane.

"Well, is this the business you run?" Jean was curious and peered towards the restaurant that was currently open.

"This is arguably a military-owned business because I used the money from the refugee entrance fee to open this restaurant. Adam's already paid for the raw materials, hasn't he?" Answer Lane.

"Do you doubt me Lane?" Adam pretended to be angry.

"No, not at all." Lane replied with a chuckle.

While Emma is helping the chefs deliver food to the restaurant's guest table, she asks Lane to give her this job even though she doesn't like the food delivery. Olivia also did not want to budge so she forced Joe to give her a similar job.

Olivia looks at Emma hatefully, according to her Emma is a fox because she has found many acquaintances similar to Emma's behavior, so she instantly recognizes Emma's cunning and envious personality.

The two walked together to deliver food at the same table. Whether due to accident or carelessness, Emma fell right in front of Olivia.

"You! You dropped my food!!" Coincidentally that the guest of the restaurant was an official, the official immediately scolded Emma so that a commotion instantly occurred.

Lane is distracted while talking to Jane and Adam, so Lane immediately turns his eyes toward the source of the commotion.

"What's going on?" Lane immediately walked over to mediate the commotion.

"Captain Lane, one of the restaurant employees spilled my food, I've paid a lot for this food, this employee even stained my clothes." The official immediately explained the incident with Lane.

"Emma? Can you explain why you spilled this food?" Lane is suspicious of Olivia but she doesn't dare scold Olivia if Emma is indeed careless.

"Ak-I don't know, when I walked out of the blue someone nudged my leg, ta-but I didn't mean to accuse Olivia, I'm sure she wasn't the culprit." Emma explained.

"What do you mean?! You're accusing me?!! You sly woman!!!" Olivia is furious, she immediately raises her hand to slap Emma in the face but her hand is immediately held back by Lane.

"I think I've been very kind to you by providing a room in the hotel and I even bear the cost of your food. My patience is over!!" This time Lane was really angry.

"I didn't do it, he accused me of Lane!! Why do you trust this rotten woman so much?!!" Olivia doesn't accept Emma and Lane's accusations.

"You broke my trust first!!" Reply Lane. Olivia's face paled when she heard Lane's words.

"Lane don't blame Olivia, I'm sure"

"From now on you stay in the tent, I will not accommodate you anymore. " Lane made up her mind right away before Emma continued. Olivia just fell silent, she no longer denied. Lane reimburses the official's crystal core and takes Emma with him out of the restaurant.

"He won't even listen to Olivia's words." Jean is disappointed in Lane.

"You better not interfere too much with their problems." Adam warned Jean.

"If I'm in Olivia's position, will you help me?" Jane looked into Adam's eyes.

"Why? You testing me?" Seeing Adam who did not intend to answer his question made Jaen speechless. Jean then goes back to her shop and ignores Adam.

"Noel was I wrong just now?" Adam did not understand why Jane suddenly ignored him, Noel who also never experienced the feeling of falling in love shook his head.
