Chapter 325 Did You Knew?
What made it worse was that the two women seemed to be engaging in a hearty conversation. It was as if they were not in a hurry at all.
His commander was still in a bitter fight with Phoebe, and if it wasn\'t for his injured state, he would have rushed back to assist Benedict.
Outsiders might think Benedict was a strict and idiotic commander, but only the soldiers under him truly understood him. Despite his usual conduct, Benedict treated his soldiers with respect and care.
Of course, some might call them delusional, but aside from cursing and yelling, Benedict had never made them do things they weren\'t willing to.
Just like the current fight against Phoebe, all of the soldiers were willing to fight on Benedict\'s behalf.
"I know I have no right to rush you two, but if you wish to intervene, then we must make haste." While in the back, the injured soldier warned Mary and Vanessa that they should hurry their movement.
"He\'s right, just increase your earthy vine speed," Mary whispered softly and said.
"I\'m sure Nathan must have found something by now with the drone, so we shouldn\'t keep him waiting." She added, throwing Shi Tian\'s name out as well.
Although Mary was unsure how or what Vanessa thought of Shi Tian, it was clear that she didn\'t hold any repulse toward him.
After all, anyone would have been furious and constantly wanted to thrash the other party if they were scammed by them. Yet instead of doing any of that, Vanessa seemed perfectly fine interacting with Shi Tian.
Sure enough, Vanessa didn\'t bother to argue much and increased the earthy vine speed.
However, the comfortableness was still not taken care of, prompting the injured soldier to grit his teeth to withstand the pain. As a soldier, this kind of pain was still bearable. It was just that the pain could have been avoidable was what made him somewhat bitter.
Sometime later, they returned to the Iron Sentinel, and the injured soldier was placed in the far back side. There was no way they would allow him to see the real interior of the Iron Sentinel.
"You stay here and use the time to rest. Don\'t move or touch things when you\'re not supposed to." Vanessa warned coldly.
As for Mary, she was slightly stunned to see how cold-blooded Vanessa could be. Maybe this was her true personality when meeting with strangers that she was not fond of or wished to interact with.
\'Got to keep this in mind for future data.\' Mary thought to herself, putting this scene into her memory for now.
With that thought process, the two subsequently entered the inner part of the Iron Sentinel and noticed Shi Tian was already inputting data.
"You\'re working hard." Devoid of the previous cold tone, Vanessa looked at Shi Tian with surprise.
"What do you mean?" Shi Tian raised an eyebrow, confused by her remark.
This was natural if they wished to obtain information and understand the situation they were about to face.
"The drone scans have recorded the current battlefield ahead, and it seems like Commander Benedict is having an all-out brawl with Commander Phoebe. As for the reason, it\'s still unknown since I dare not approach them too closely with the drone." He then explained, showing the recording on the computer screen.
Mary glanced over it and nodded her head.
"We\'ve rescued the injured soldier and given him a temporary first-aid medical. In exchange, he revealed why they were fighting in the first place." Mary explained and proceeded to let Shi Tian understand the cause.
A few minutes later, Shi Tian knitted his brows, seemingly in deep thought.
"Although I understand where Commander Benedict was coming from, his action this time was ridiculous. It\'s borderline stupid, to say the least." Shi Tian gave his input on the matter.
After all, it might be 90 percent true that Phoebe had collaborated with Theobold to scheme against them, now was not the time and place to spend all their resources. At the very least, he should have kept his hostility under control until the monster wave incident was over.
"Couldn\'t agree more," Vanessa sat down, shrugged her shoulders, and agreed with Shi Tian. "Even if Benedict did win against Phoebe, what was he going to do? Kill her? Or did he seriously think detaining her would do much?"
The current situation was already perilous, and with these commanders being so willful was truly a headache.
None of them ever thought about the bigger picture or the long-term benefits. They only had short-term benefits in their eyes.
Or maybe, that was exactly what someone wanted.
They wanted to cause chaos, because only when there is chaos, would the major power structure be changed.
"Either way, one thing we must be cautious about is the Hill Family." Mary suddenly warned them.
"Theobold managed to acquire a stamp of approval which effectively squashed Damon\'s claim originated from the Hill Family." She added, before staring at Shi Tian with a somewhat pale expression.
Feeling her intense stare, Shi Tian tilted his head slightly and asked, "What is it, Mary?"
Mary remained silent, but the horror in her expression was visible, almost as if she had just witnessed a frightening creature or scenery.
"Did you get poisoned?" Vanessa, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded by Mary\'s sudden change.
Ignoring Vanessa\'s remark, Mary walked forward and placed her hands at the back of the chair where Shi Tian was sitting, her face extremely close to him.
"Did you know something about this all along, Nathan?" Mary asked in a soft but solemn tone. Her gaze was staring directly at his eyes.
After staring for quite a while, she continued, "Otherwise, you would have never warned us about Jonas Hill before this shit show had occurred."
