Chapter 230: Operation Wolf Slayer. (Part 18)
"Well, we will think of that when the time comes." Said White Arrow, sounding quite annoyed. "Now, do you have a way for us to progress or not?"
Night Gale shot him a glare, and even though it would’ve caused him to shudder before, he only glared back at her.
"I couldn’t care less about this operation," he went on. "I want to get done with it as soon as possible, but things keep dragging on because of your mistakes. How long do you plan on making us wait for?"
Silence enveloped the room, and the longer it lingered, the more tense things got. The Commissioner spoke after a while, and going by his tone, he truly didn’t appreciate how the white clad hero talked to him.
[It is as you said, White Arrow. Our shortcomings are what caused the predicament you are currently in. Still, that does not give you the right to be disrespectful. You might be under my command only for the duration of this operation, but do not make the mistake of thinking that your behavior wouldn’t haunt you once everything is over.]
Once again, Night Gale glared are her teammate, and though he didn’t cower like he usually would, it appeared like the idea got across.
"My apologies, Commissioner."
[Be careful from now on.] Sighing, the Commissioner continued. [As for the path forward, we are working on something. For now, I need you to give us a direct connection to the lock to the manual control room.]
"Understood."
Night Gale looked quite exhausted as she made her way to the back of the room, where a large alloy door was waiting in one of the corners. Reaching into the small pouch on her waist, she took out a smartphone-like device and pulled at its bottom, extending a cable which she then plugged into the small control panel on the door frame.
