But then she remembered the woman who had slipped her the note. Miley.
Her grip on the scooter handles tightened.
'She asked me for help. She must be suffering so much to beg a stranger like that.'
Her voice was quiet, almost guilty.
"When we are settled at Moonjewel Base and have struck a deal with the base leader of Moonjewel Base, we should return and deal with the Twilight Base people."
Silas frowned. "What do you mean?"
Ivy explained about the note and how Miley had secretly begged her.
Silas's face darkened at once. He already knew who she was talking about.
"Miley," he muttered.
Ivy nodded. "Yes. She is trapped. We cannot just leave her."
Silas's eyes narrowed. He remembered his own meeting with Austin, and his voice was laced with slight rage.
"Austin is too ambitious. If I had stayed with him longer, I might have killed him."
'What exactly did Austin do to make Silas this angry? He rarely shows such wrath.'
