The Author's POV

Chapter 282

March 20th.

At the beginning of spring.

—Beeep! —Beeep!

A rhythmical beeping noise echoed inside of a white room.

Inside of the white room was a small bed where a beautiful girl with long orange hair lay.

Her breathing was faint, and if not for the cardiac event monitor next to her, someone could've mistaken her for a dead person.

"hmmm."

After a while, the girl's eyelids twitched slightly.

Before long, opening her eyes, the girl blinked a couple of times, as she wondered, 'Where am I? What's going on?'

Lifting her head up, the girl's eyes darted all over the room. Finally, she realized that she was in a hospital room.

—Clank!

It was then that the door opened and a nurse came in. Holding onto a trolley filled with equipment, the nurse calmly pushed it towards the side of the room.

Taking out a sack filled with some unknown transparent liquid, the nurse walked towards the bed.

"——!"

However, once she turned around, she suddenly became startled. That was because the patient that she was supposed to tend had woken up and was looking directly at her.

Calming down quickly, the nurse put her right hand on her chest and rushed by her patient's side.

"My god, you've startled me, are you feeling okay?"

"Mhm," Monica absentmindedly nodded her head, before asking."Where exactly am I?"

"You're in the Union medical department."

The nurse replied as she checked the IV saline that was attached to Monica's arm.

The main headquarters of the Union was quite big, about the same size as the Monolith's one.

Aside from having all the best training facilities in the world, they also had their own medical department that could treat injured Heroes. That was where Monica was currently at.

"I see...ah!"

It was then that Monica suddenly started remembering what had transpired before. From the betrayal of Tasos, to Mo Jinhao's appearance, and the destruction of the core. She slowly started remembering everything.

"I have to make an urgent report!"

Monica suddenly sat up straight, startling the nurse once again.

"What's going on?"

"I have something to report to the higher-ups. It's really important!"

The fact that Tasos had betrayed the Union was a serious matter that she had to relay to the others. He was after all one of the seven heads of the Union.

"Don't worry Monica, everyone already knows."

Right before Monica was about to rush out of her bed, a melodious voice suddenly entered Monica's ears. Following this, two breathtakingly beautiful women entered the room. One with green hair, and the other with black hair and amethysts colored-eyes.

"Donna! Amber!"

Monica widened her eyes in surprise.

In response, Donna smiled as she and Amber sat next to her.
