Chapter 173 Trevor

Returning to the Iron Sentinel, Shi Tian sat on the passenger\'s seat and put on his seatbelt.

"Oh, I thought you would be talking to Krissie for some more time." Mary raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that he returned so quickly. She even decided to give them some time alone by leaving in a rush.

"Your brain is filled with too many nasty thoughts." Shi Tian rolled his eyes and said calmly.

"Krissie and I only talked and interacted very briefly. There isn\'t much to talk about." He added.

"Is that so? But I had a great talk with Krissie, and I must say, she is a strong woman."

"Strong woman?"

Mary nodded her head.

"Yes, she\'s a very strong woman despite her past experience." She said in a solemn tone, clearly impressed by Krissie\'s resilient attitude.

And based on that small context, Shi Tian could somewhat guess what those two had discussed before. Krissie\'s past and her experience thanks to the deceased Benmos was surely not something pleasant.

It was probably something that Krissie might be able to share with a fellow woman. Thus, he chose not to pry further and feigned ignorance of the matter.

"Shall we return to the apartment complex?" Shi Tian asked, changing the sensitive topic of conversation.

"Yeah, let me just turn it into auto-pilot mode. I\'m kind of exhausted," Mary pressed a button and stretched her neck a bit.

Seeing her stretching, Shi Tian finally noticed there was a bit of dust on her clothes and her sleeve was somewhat ripped.

Twitching his mouth slightly, he could now confirm that Mary had indeed got into a fight. Though he was dumbfounded that Mary would have her sleeve ripped given her skills.

"Um, Nathan, I know I\'m a beautiful woman, but you didn\'t have to stare at me so intensely." Mary suddenly said.

Shi Tian rolled his eyes in response and turned to the side, ignoring her. She was no idiot either, so she must have known what he was actually looking at.

Mary smiled amusedly when she saw him acting like a spoiled kid.

Nevertheless, she was appreciative of him to know when to not ask or pry for information.

Time slowly passed by, and they soon arrived at the apartment complex.

And sure enough, there was still some blockade done on the scene, with multiple security guards patrolling around.

It was a given that Shi Tian and Mary were halted as the security guard asked for their identity.

Luckily, Shi Tian still had his keycard and with a simple pupil scan, the security guard was able to confirm Shi Tian was a resident.

"Okay, please follow the road that we have indicated in the hologram." The security guard warned solemnly.

"Thank you for your hard work," Shi Tian calmly replied and Mary subsequently took the steering wheel, driving as instructed by the hologram.

Once they left the premises, the security guard resumed his duty and made sure to prevent any unauthorized personnel from entering the apartment complex.

"The battle must have been a massive one if the blockade is still present," Mary commented while driving, making a bunch of turns.

Normally, she only needed to drive straight ahead to reach the main building, but now there was a hologram instructing them to turn right or turn left. It was clear that the center of the field that they were prevented from entering was still filled in ruins.

Of course, there was also some debris that Mary had noticed scattered in the ground, which allowed her to make such a prediction.

Shi Tian nodded his head.

"It was a good thing that the Crimson Mage was present, otherwise, Vanessa would have been in danger." He commented, feeling lucky that he had brought Vanessa here and not other places.

If even someone as strong as the Crimson Mage would cause such a battlefield, then it was clear how powerful the enemies were sent to infiltrate here.

After another few minutes of driving, Mary and Shi Tian finally arrived at the main building.

Mary calmly parked the Iron Sentinel and got off the vehicle. Shi Tian also got off and was about to head to his apartment, but was stopped by a familiar security guard.

This security guard was the same person that had registered his pupil into the system database and given him the keycard.

If he recalled correctly, the security guard was named Trevor.

Though he didn\'t need to recall it given that Trevor had his name tag pinned on his clothes.

Trevor was professional in his work and didn\'t show any prejudice toward him, so Shi Tian had a somewhat good impression of him.

Stepping forward, Shi Tian asked, "What\'s the matter?"

Trevor was quite tall and his hairs were trimmed properly. His uniform was also neatly ironed, added with his piercing brown eyes that seemed to look deep into a person\'s soul.

He was the definition of a great security guard, who took his work seriously along with his appearance. Not to mention, he had a smart tablet in his hand at all times, always making sure the premise was secure.

Trevor held an expressionless face as he walked toward Shi Tian and informed him politely, "Someone wishes to meet you, so please follow me. As for the guest you invited, she could head to your room and wait there for you."

Despite the tone being very polite, Shi Tian could subtly understand that it was an order and that he was not allowed to refuse.

In addition, there was probably only one person here that could order Trevor around. And that was the Crimson Mage.

Nodding his head, Shi Tian turned to Mary and handed her the keycard.

"Here\'s the keycard to my apartment, so you can head upstairs first. My room is 404." He then told her.

"I have authorized her to be able to use the elevator even without the pupil scan, so she should be fine alone," Trevor interrupted and said, his hand swiping on the smart tablet.
