Chapter 334 Back On Track

"Of course, Commander Theobold and us don\'t have any grudges, compared to Commander Damon. So why wouldn\'t we work together?" Shi Tian shrugged his shoulders. 

Nodding her head, Phoebe agreed that there wasn\'t much animosity between Shi Tian and Theobold. After all, they had only known each other for less than a month, so what kind of grudges could they have? 

Aside from the fact that Theobold was secretly deceiving and tracking them down, there was nothing else.

In fact, Theobold would be the one to hold grudges, given that Shi Tian had not only killed some of his elite soldiers and taken an eye away from the leader, but he also publicly posted a video of their humiliation. 

Hence, it could only be said that the two of them are even now. And as for the lives lost, they are already dead, so what was the point of mulling over it? 

Just take a look at Phoebe and Benedict! For their selfish and childish reasons, they spent a lot of resources fighting, resulting in casualties, but no one was punished for their death.

Why?

The world does not operate in morality anymore but through strengths and benefits. 

"Well, what more can I say?" Phoebe suddenly chuckled softly. 

"That Light Beam you demonstrated had allowed us to know not to underestimate you, and we have no plan of going against you either. I\'ll let Theobold know that everything was just a misunderstanding." She added, letting him know that she would let bygones be bygones. 

From now on, they would restart their relationship from scratch, and be back on track as a proper ally with zero scheming behind each other\'s back. 

Extending his hand, Shi Tian was glad that this farce could be ended in such a manner. Not a perfect ending, but it was a win-win ending for both parties, and that was enough.

In life, there is no such thing as flawless victory. Even if there was, the flawless victory isn\'t something that one can easily achieve. 

"I\'m glad to have resolved everything, so as to prove our sincerity. We\'ll give you the recordings of Benedict\'s outburst toward me." Shi Tian said, snapping his finger.

A few seconds later, Vanessa came out from the Iron Sentinel with a USB drive in her hand. 

"Here\'s the recording, Commander Phoebe." Vanessa walked toward Phoebe and handed it over.

Meanwhile, Phoebe was somewhat dazed, seemingly confused by Vanessa\'s actions and appearance.

\'This Nathan is indeed not simple. Even Vanessa seemed to be listening to his commands.\' Phoebe thought to herself, realizing that she might have still underestimated Shi Tian. 

Unlike Shi Tian, who lacked both resources and information, Phoebe was the polar opposite of him. 

Having investigated Vanessa, Phoebe knew her identity was no different than the status of the Five Families. 

Which meant that she was a proud woman, but here we are, Vanessa was following and listening to Shi Tian, whom they still haven\'t managed to find much information about. 

Grabbing the USB drive, Phoebe nodded her head and decided to return the favor as well. 

"Since you\'re being sincere, then I shall do the same." She calmly said and glanced at Vanessa. 

"Theobold had investigated the incident at Horology Restaurant, and I\'m sure you should have figured out the culprit by now with your resources. But there should be something that you don\'t know about?" 

Hearing that from Phoebe, Vanessa\'s emotion seemed to have wavered a bit, almost as if she was stunned. 

"What is it?" Vanessa\'s expression turned solemn and asked. 

Regarding the incident, she was always mulling over it and wished to track down each one of them who was responsible for it. As if she would be amicable and let those who wanted her life be scot-free. 

"The White Syndicate seemed to be involved in it, collaborating with your uncle. The White Syndicate\'s objective was the Ancient Technology you possessed, and as for your uncle… I\'m sure you know why." Phoebe revealed. 

"My Ancient Technology?" Vanessa raised an eyebrow. 

"Heh, they\'re probably wanting it for the upcoming New Region, right?" Shi Tian suddenly interrupted. 

"That\'s right, Gavin." Phoebe clapped her hands and praised him. 

"Just call me Nathan. We\'re allies for now, and I won\'t tease you about it." Shi Tian chuckled softly. 

He then turned to Vanessa, patting her on the shoulders, and warned. "This is a great lesson for you, Vanessa. Never reveal your wealth to anyone, because wealth brings you calamity." 

Vanessa nodded her head but didn\'t forget to pinch Shi Tian\'s waist. 

"Yeah, not only does it bring calamity, but it also brings a scammer that wants to take advantage of my wealth constantly." She clicked her tongue and sneered. 

"It\'s not my fault that you were easy to scam." Shi Tian shrugged. He won\'t and probably never will feel ashamed of swindling her with the Dimension Ring. To date, that was his best record in scamming others. 

A precious Dimension Ring and he was able to obtain it with such a small price. He would be willing to conduct such trades daily if the chance arrived. 

"Ahem, I guessed we\'re clear now, right?" Phoebe faked a cough to get their attention when she realized the two were somewhat playful bickering. She could tell their relationship was somewhat ambiguous, but didn\'t plan to pry further.

Shi Tian pushed Vanessa to the side, preventing her from pinching his waist again. He then clasped his hand as a sign of gesture of respect and said, "Yes, I\'ll see you back at the camp," 

"Very well, I\'ll see you back at the camp." Phoebe proceeded to signal for her soldiers to gather up and prepare to leave the scene.

The bodies that remained on the scene will decay soon due to the pollution, or probably be devoured by nearby monsters anyway.
