Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Investigation
Taking a deep breath, Gwen quickly explained everything that had happened from beginning to end.She didn’t hide a single detail.
She told them how Patrick had deliberately provoked her, how he insulted her, how he had exploited the base’s rules, and finally, how he had dragged her into a battle outside the base.
After hearing the complete story, everyone fell silent.
Silas was the first to regain his composure.
He looked toward the surrounding guards and spoke in a cold voice.
"Take him. Bring him to the investigation room and keep him restrained at all times. Don’t give him even the slightest opportunity to escape."
"Yes, General!"
Several guards immediately stepped forward before dragging the struggling Patrick away.

Once everything had finally settled down, Gwen slowly looked toward Annie.
Her voice was much softer than usual. "How... how did you know I was here?"
Annie remained silent. Instead, Gwen’s father answered on her behalf.
"The moment Annie arrived at your meeting place and couldn’t find you, she realized something was wrong. She immediately started searching the entire base. When she couldn’t find you anywhere, she sought Ivy’s help. And that’s how we finally located you."
Gwen quietly lowered her head. After remaining silent for several seconds, she looked toward Annie again.
"But... why were you even worried? Why didn’t you just think I got angry and left on my own?"
Annie rolled her eyes before crossing her arms.
"I know exactly how brainless you can be. But... even you shouldn’t be this brainless."
Gwen’s cheeks immediately puffed up. "You!"
She pointed accusingly toward Annie. However, Annie completely ignored her childish reaction.
Instead, she turned toward Alana, who had also rushed over after hearing the commotion.
"Alana, could you please heal her injuries?"
Only then did Gwen finally notice the countless bruises covering her body.
During the battle, adrenaline had completely numbed the pain.
Now that everything had calmed down, every injury suddenly announced its presence.
Although she didn’t say anything, her heart gradually warmed.
Her eyes slowly became moist. She quietly watched Annie, who was still discussing the situation with everyone else.
Then, she glanced at Felix, who had hurried over the moment he heard the news.
Finally, she lowered her eyes.
