18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 259

Chapter 259

The front door was now sturdy enough for Jasper to ram into it multiple times without it budging. This provided a significant boost to their sense of security. Austin quickly decided to mimic this and took out his phone to snap a picture, intending to install a similar door at his place.

The homeowner's association was efficient, and no one had come knocking to collect some form of tax, yet the security patrol team was already on duty.

There were ten people in each group, divided into east and west teams, forming a total of twenty people in a shift.

Stella stood on the rooftop, watching the teams forming lines downstairs. They seemed promising, all young and fit, and she suspected that some of them might even know a thing or two about martial arts. After dinner, Stella leashed Cooper and went for a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood.

On an open space, the Porras family's bodyguards were training the security officers, teaching them defensive and offensive moves. They looked professional, though their real combat effectiveness remained to be seen. While walking, a couple of ladies who passed by suddenly spoke out, their voices dripping with sweetness, "Julia, did you get your hair done?"

Stella continued to walk leisurely with her dog. Just then, someone approached her and reached out to tap her shoulder, "Julia..."

Sensing someone close by, Stella instinctively grabbed the person's wrist. The woman yelped in pain, "Ouch!"

Had Stella not pulled back her defensive move in time, the woman would have received a judo flip.

Stella turned around, her gaze sharp and piercing.

The woman who had her wrist grabbed was about to curse, but upon recognizing Stella, she hesitated, "You... I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

Cooper bared its teeth, assuming an aggressive stance, scaring the ladies who screamed and retreated.

Since it was a misunderstanding, Stella decided to let it pass. She led Cooper away.

The ladies were livid, but only dared to vent their anger after Stella and her dog had walked away, "What kind of person is she? So rude!"

"Where does she live? I've never seen her before."
