After all, the Base was now under Sean Knight's control, and these people were very clear about that.
Sean himself hadn't anticipated that because of exchanging supplies, the Base had now become similar to a small town center.
Some people, after trading items at the Base, would take some of what they received and engage in secondary trading at their stands, becoming "second-hand dealers".
When these people saw Sean Knight, their faces showed an unnatural expression.
Sean just pretended not to see it. He didn't want others to feel embarrassed, nor did he want to embarrass himself—they were, after all, outsiders, and it was good enough to exchange for the supplies they wanted without getting involved in too many things.
He strolled a few steps forward, then saw the Elders who had been looking at the photovoltaic solar panels coming down the slope.
Watching them head straight for him, Sean knew they had something they wanted to discuss.
