BXBX NOVEL Chapter 153 Spy
Chapter 153 Spy
After sending Derek an encrypted message, Mary smiled briefly.
\'Heh, if Hank knew his right-hand man was someone of the Shadow Legion and a spy we placed. I just wonder how much shock he would receive.\' Mary thought to herself.
Throughout the years, when Heaven\'s Mecha kept attacking their Optic Mech, they might seem dormant but were secretly implementing many people into them.
And this was merely the start of their retaliation.
While Mary was thinking about the past and the number of grudges they had with Heaven\'s Mecha, she heard someone shouting for her name.
"Mary!"
"Mary!"
"Huh?" Snapping out of her daze, Mary turned and looked at Shi Tian.
"What are you shouting at me for?" She asked, clearly irritated by his tone.
"You were the one that told me to call you when I\'m done with the workout." Shi Tian said with a deadpan expression.
"You already finished with 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, and 20-kilometer running?" She held a disbelief expression, looking at him up and down.
Not an ounce of sweat could be seen on his body.
Meanwhile, Shi Tian was utterly speechless, especially with her suspicious look.
"That was already 20 minutes ago, and I have been calling you for a while already." He responded, taking out his Cellos Device and showing her the time.
And sure enough, when Mary saw the time, she was astonished.
"Time passed that fast?" She was stunned by how fast the time had gone by.
"Yeah, the workout was long completed and you were just in a daze constantly. No matter how much I called you, there was no response." Shi Tian explained.
Realizing it was her mistake, Mary laughed awkwardly.
"Ahem, then have you started practicing the movement technique?" She coughed softly and asked.
Shi Tian didn\'t bother to reply and merely pointed at the ground that was filled with his footsteps.
Inspecting the footwork, Mary nodded her head.
"Not bad, I can see you have managed to grasp the basics of it already." She clapped her hand and praised.
"That should be enough training for today."
"Understood."
"Then the monsters\' corpses-"
Just when Mary was going to ask about the monsters they had slain, Shi Tian patted a large bag to get her attention.
"You already collected them?" She smiled awkwardly. It was clear that while she was lost in her thoughts, Shi Tian had already gone ahead to collect the corpses and still had enough time to cool down from the workout.
"If you aren\'t in the mood, then we can just take a break from the training and I can practice alone." Shi Tian suggested, feeling a bit concerned about Mary.
It was as if the traps they had successfully dealt to Heaven\'s Mecha had somewhat affected her, physically and mentally.
"Look at you, you\'re the trainee whereas I\'m your current instructor now. I was merely a bit lost in the thoughts and nothing else." Mary scoffed and stood up from a monster corpse that she had been sitting on.
This was also the final corpse that Shi Tian needed to collect and wasn\'t able to because of her. With her out of the way, he collected the corpse and stored the rest in the Iron Sentinel.
Once inside, Shi Tian saw Mary taking up the driver\'s seat, and he quickly stopped her.
"I think I should drive today, Mary. Just for the safety of us both." He said calmly.
"Tsk, do you still think I\'m absent-minded?" Mary raised an eyebrow.
Nevertheless, she heeded his advice and allowed him to take up the driver\'s seat. She didn\'t really care about being the driver or the passenger.
Time slowly passed by, and as Shi Tian drove close to the safe hold, he had to temporarily step on the brake.
Near the entrance of the safehold, Shi Tian and Mary saw military uniformed people gathering outside.
"What are they doing here?" Shi Tian asked in confusion. The safehold was a neutral zone, and no military people are supposed to be around here nor do they have any authority.
"Hmm, they might have been attracted by the loud explosion a few days ago and came to investigate." Mary rubbed her chin and deduced calmly.
Other than the loud explosions that had caused a big commotion, she couldn\'t find any reason for the military to come here.
Although the safehold was a neutral zone, it was also called the no-military zone. No one wanted to be controlled by the military in the wilderness, especially when they are already monopolizing the New Region.
"They don\'t seem to be the Vanguard Military that we have seen earlier either." Shi Tian said, seeing the uniform was slightly different.
"Indeed," Mary smirked and nodded her head. "They seemed to be the military reserve for Heaven\'s Mecha. And my intel has stated that the Young Miss of the Harrett Family was here, so I guessed she might have told them."
"No wonder… but this is a stupid move." Shi Tian exclaimed, ridiculing their action.
He could understand Heaven\'s Mecha predicament and why they wanted to get reinforcement as a defense.
But this was no different than announcing to the entire world that Heaven\'s Mecha is backed by the Harrett Family, confirming this rumor to everyone here.
At first glance, it might seem like the Harrett Family believed they could suppress the people here, but what era was this already? You can\'t just stop or oppress anyone to prevent information from slipping out.
"Heh, even I\'m dumbfounded by this move, but then again, that Young Miss isn\'t a bright person either." Mary scoffed, not a bit surprised by this scene once she took in the factor of Olivia Harrett.
"Just drive past them, Nathan. If they even dared to stop us or demand us to stop, then we can have another show to enjoy." She then commanded.
Nodding his head, Shi Tian stepped on the pedal and drove forward. "This is a good experience to gauge one of the five family\'s military reserve power."
