Bab 278: A Secret Is Discovered

(Unova Syndicate- Sector Alpha-099)

(Unknown Planet)

One could see a bloody hole appear in the middle of its chest as the calm shooter slowly placed her plasma gun back in its holster.

Sophie grunted in dissatisfaction as she felt her right arm tremble slightly after several hours of intense training.

One week had passed since she had been rescued by the knights of the Hyperion Order and a lot of things had changed.

Sophie and Lily had gained an almost celebrity-like status among the officers in the squad as Captain Dawn displayed an attitude towards them that exceeded mere friendliness.

Sophie wasn't sure how to describe his enthusiasm.

He was clearly a well-liked leader because despite being a human, Captain Dawn commanded respect from his men.
