Chapter 160 Miserable Fate
Chapter 160 Miserable Fate
After sending away this group of people that wanted to skip the line to buy the claymore mines from them secretly, Shi Tian realized there needed to be a change of policy.
Or an announcement to be precise.
If other people attempted to do the same as the previous group, then there would be no telling how much they needed to deal with in the future.
“Mary, I think we need to make an announcement for others that if they don’t play by the rules and attempt to skip the line to purchase our new products. Then they shall be banned from Optic Mech.” Shi Tian turned to Mary and suggested.
Mary nodded her head.
“I agree with your suggestion. We can’t just have people keep coming near here simply because they wanted more of our new products once they realized how useful it is.” She said and proceeded to send a message to Gerald.
While she was sending a message to Gerald, Shi Tian secretly walked to her and whispered, “Why do I feel like you agreed to it not because of Optic Mech’s reputation but for your selfish reason?”
“Do you want to die?” Mary clicked her tongue and glared at him angrily.
Instantly, Shi Tian stepped away and raised his hands, indicating he won’t press on the matter.
Though silently, he was amused that he was correct. Mary agreed to the suggestion swiftly because she didn’t want to act as an assistant and needed to show a timid expression or submissive behavior toward Shi Tian.
She was the true leader and not Shi Tian.
‘Like hell I would let you keep having the chance to boss me around.’ Mary exclaimed inwardly, finishing typing her message and posting it as an urgent matter.
“Let’s go!” She then shouted, speed-walking to her Iron Sentinel.
Chuckling softly, Shi Tian found her action quite comical. It wasn’t as if he didn’t need to lower himself constantly as well just so that she could teach him.
But what does that even matter in the end?
They achieved their goals by merely acting or pretending, so it should be worth it and nothing to be ashamed of.
Sometime later, Shi Tian went to the passenger seat of the Iron Sentinel. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐧𝗲𝘁
And Mary didn’t even bother to wait for him to put on the seatbelt and directly stepped on the pedal.
Luckily, she didn’t accelerate the Iron Sentinel rapidly, otherwise, Shi Tian might have really crashed his face toward the front.
“Are you in such a hurry?” He asked once he put on the seatbelt.
“Yes, I’m in a hurry.”
“…”
Seeing him shutting his mouth right after her swift response, Mary felt a bit pleased, but only for a moment. She was indeed rushing and hoping to get Shi Tian familiarized with the boosters suit.
If Shi Tian still couldn’t get used to it soon, then she would have to slightly alter her plan and have Shi Tian stay in the tent crafting claymore mines.
As the Iron Sentinel once again reached the entrance of the safehold, Mary could see Scott and his soldiers still guarding the area.
However, thanks to the incident earlier, Scott and his fellow soldiers glared at them with hostilities. Though it was only hostilities without any actual action.
Scott wasn’t a dumb man either to believe that Shi Tian and Mary were so gutsy to drive over his soldier if they didn’t have any abilities to back it up.
“Let them go and don’t make any ruckus,” Scott ordered his soldiers to stay put.
Although the soldiers were discontent about it, given that their comrade was still being treated, they could only listen to Scott’s order.
Meanwhile, Shi Tian slightly snickered when he saw Scott and the other soldiers didn’t dare to do anything just like Mary had told him before.
“They are truly a disgrace to have the term military labeled on them.” Shi Tian exclaimed.
“Heh, so what if they are disgraceful or not? Does it really matter?” Mary snorted coldly. It was clear that she had no high opinion of the military either.
Shi Tian nodded his head in agreement.
Just the Flameheart Vanguard military was enough evidence to prove that regardless if the military are honorable or not, none of it mattered.
“You’re right, I should stop caring about it.” Shi Tian flatly said.
“But where are we driving off to now? I don’t recognize this route,” he added, realizing the route was unfamiliar to him. The past few days, they had been going out to the wilderness for training, so he had memorized the route already.
Yet this time, he could tell they were going somewhere else, prompting his curiosity.
“Since we’re going to test the boosters suit, then naturally we need to find some monsters that specialize in speed,” Mary explained, keeping her eyes on the route.
“And what would that be?”
Mary smiled briefly, and asked, “Did you forget about the monsters’ encounter that you had before?”
“There’s a lot of monsters I have encountered before though.” Shi Tian muttered, pondering over the type of monsters.
“It can’t be… the Tenceloras?” He then exclaimed in shock.
Although he no longer felt traumatic by the encounter with the Tenceloras thanks to his passive ability, it still somewhat made him extremely uncomfortable.
After all, someone had died on behalf of him and it was regretful to say that he was completely powerless.
Mary noticed his discomfort and sighed softly.
“You don’t have to feel bad about the death of Yolanda. Even though I’m still saddened by it, there’s nothing else we can do about it. What happened has happened and nothing can change that fact.” She said without much emotion.
“Indeed, nothing we do now can change the fact already. But I’ll still remember to help her get revenge.” He shook his head and voiced his intention.
“Then you can stop remembering it. Those two bastards that betrayed her are already suffering a miserable fate.” Mary sneered coldly, her hands clenching tightly on the steering wheel.
