The few people Stella Sterling had called out had a flicker of fear in their eyes. They subconsciously took a few steps back.
Their reaction was jarringly out of place in the crowd, and everyone's gaze shifted toward them.
Everyone knew Sterling's status in the base. In the past, anyone she called on would have been overjoyed, but the way these few were acting…
They immediately realized something was wrong. Considering the current situation, it didn't take long for them to put two and two together. They quickly distanced themselves from the group, forming a circle around them.
Stella Sterling was satisfied with this reaction. She watched them.
When those people saw what was happening, their faces turned ashen, and their bodies even began to tremble slightly.
One of them stammered, "S-S-Sterling, is something wrong?"
The others said nothing, but they looked visibly uncomfortable.
Seeing the angry looks from the people around them, their gazes grew even more shifty.
