Chapter 354
Elijah busted out laughing, a loud, almost obnoxious laugh. “Just you?” He gave Elizabeth the once-over, his eyes dripping with doubt and sarcasm.
Elizabeth arched an eyebrow and shot back, “Yeah, just me.”
Elijah snorted. “You don’t even know which way is up. You think you can pull off being Glory M?” And teaming up with a chick? No way; he’d rather bite the dust.
Elizabeth just stood there, speechless. She pursed her lips, got up, and said coolly, “Believe it or not. Quick question: you wanna bounce or what?”
Elijah looked at her, totally puzzled.
“I’ll get you out, and you can team up with me. Deal?” Elizabeth flashed a sweet smile, looking nothing like the mysterious Glory M.
Elijah stayed quiet, just watching. ‘Is she nuts, or am I losing it? She actually wants to bust me out and team up? Is she outta her mind?’
“I’m serious,” Elizabeth said, her eyes dead serious. She didn’t have any hidden agenda; she just needed a reliable bodyguard who’d take a bullet for her. Sure, she could handle herself, but you never know when things might go sideways. If Allen and Esme had targeted her once, they could do it again. Having a bodyguard was just smart. Even though Elijah had been a bit of a jerk yesterday, Elizabeth thought he was tough. If she could get Elijah on her side, he’d probably go all out for her. Plus, he kinda admired her. That’s why she was willing to give him a shot.
“How can you prove you’re Glory M?” he asked.
Elizabeth grinned and said, “How about I give you a tour of Base M?”
Elijah looked at her and gulped. She looked dead serious, no joke. He couldn’t believe it. Elizabeth greeted the folks around and then took Elijah outside. Felix waited for them, then hopped in the car and drove over when he saw them.
“By the way, what’s your name?” Elizabeth asked as she got in the car. Elijah still had handcuffs on and was in no shape to escape or hurt Elizabeth again. Plus, his arm was messed up. Elizabeth pulled out some gauze to bandage his wound.

Chapter 354
He said, “Elijah Nichols.”
Felix glanced back and teased, “Man, you’re lucky to have the Boss patch you up.” Elijah shot Felix a look. He frowned, totally confused. He really couldn’t wrap his head around Elizabeth being Glory M. Elizabeth finished bandaging him up. He kept staring at her, super wary. Elizabeth led Elijah deeper into Base M. The robots in Base M chimed, “Welcome home, esteemed Glory M.” Elijah froze. Elizabeth and Felix both looked at him. “What’s up?”
“You really are Glory M!” Elijah’s voice shook.
Elizabeth smiled and asked, “Why would I lie to you?”
Elijah just felt like an idiot. He had actually kidnapped the Glory M he admired the most! What had he done?
Elizabeth pointed inside. “Shall we?”
Elijah followed her closely. Elizabeth gave him the grand tour of Base M, and everything screamed that she was indeed the famous Glory M—that mysterious woman.
