Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 174 Troubles

Both Mary and Shi Tian were slightly astonished by the swift work of Trevor.

It was pretty obvious that Trevor wanted Mary to get out of the way but done in a polite manner.

With Trevor authorizing access for Mary, she could only wait for Shi Tian in his apartment room. She wasn't a fool either and came to the same conclusion as Shi Tian.

The Crimson Mage was probably furious and demanded to meet Shi Tian, who could be said to be the culprit.

After all, the enemies came to their apartment complex because Shi Tian rescued Vanessa, so he was to be blamed even though he was a victim as well.

"Good luck, Nathan. Try not to irritate the Crimson Mage." Mary patted Shi Tian's shoulder and wished him luck.

Not to mention the military, even Mary knew not to mess with Crimson Mage, who was equivalent to a ticking bomb.

If unprovoked, the Crimson Mage would be a calm and serene person, but once provoked, then that was a different story.

Since the Crimson Mage was not one to seek trouble.

Then Mary definitely wouldn't wish to offend the Crimson Mage which would only be detrimental with zero benefits.

Shi Tian also understood this point and knew to watch his action and wording. He didn't wish to create a powerful enemy either for no reason, especially not someone that even the military was powerless against.

'I'm really screwed over this time despite not being the culprit.' Shi Tian cursed silently, feeling like he had eaten a mouthful of bullshit.

Why should he- an innocent man be taking the short end of the stick for something that someone else caused?

"Please follow me," Trevor didn't care what kind of mindset Shi Tian was going through and merely instructed. He was following an order as well, and completing it was his duty.

Seeing how diligent Trevor was, Shi Tian could only sigh and followed closely behind.

Trevor was bringing him to an office that was clearly locked for residents and required authorization to enter. It was pretty obvious though when he saw how Trevor had his pupil scanned, fingerprint scanned, and even to the point of sticking his tongue out just to get through the barriers.

And as if that wasn't enough for confirmation, there was also a surveillance camera that could turn 360, capturing all sight without any blind areas, making sure that Trevor was safe and wasn't under threat or anything.

What was worse was that there were even turret guns stationed all across, with clear red laser pointers, almost as if they were trying to tell you that they are heavily armed if you dare to intrude.

The red laser pointers were hovering all over Shi Tian, prompting him to not make any movement until permitted to do so.

'Just what is this security? This is even more insane than the security outside the wall or in the inspection site.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, feeling some pressure pressed upon him. He would truly become a bullet holder if these turret guns were to shoot at him.

"Rest assured, these turret guns won't shoot you unless they notice any hints of hostility. I also have an active pass that could vouch for your appearance here, so there's no need to worry." Trevor calmly explained.

Although Shi Tian didn't make any complaint, it was still his duty to respectfully inform him about it. After all, if Shi Tian was to accidentally trigger the turret guns, then he might become collateral damage as well.

So for the safety of the two of them, it was best to ensure that everything was in order.

After some time, Trevor finally finished all the security measurements and told Shi Tian to follow him closely.

"Watch each step I take. If you accidentally step on the wrong platform, then traps would be triggered." Trevor warned without turning around.

Shi Tian kept that in mind and followed in Trevor's footsteps precisely. Even if Trevor was pranking him, it was best to be safe than sorry later.

Following each step, Shi Tian soon arrived at a large room filled with multiple kinds of decoration. Though the decorations aren't the luxurious or fancy kind, just some ornaments and art pieces.

"My duty ends here now," Trevor halted his steps and pointed at a small, but comfy-looking couch.

"You may proceed to sit there and wait." He added.

Shi Tian wanted to ask how long he would need to wait, but Trevor didn't seem a bit interested. Without even waiting a bit, Trevor turned around and exited the large room.

'Damn, he's a wooden one through and through.' Shi Tian twitched his mouth, finding Trevor to be no different than a puppet.

How could someone be so emotionless and bland?

Shaking his head, Shi Tian decided to sit on the couch to relax.

He wanted to browse through the internet on his Cellos device but realized there was no service. Or to be more precise, the signal here was blocked by some sort of interference.

Disappointed that the Cellos device was blocked, Shi Tian wondered if the hologram interface would also be blocked.

Luckily though, it doesn't seem like the interferences here had any effects on the hologram interface. Shi Tian was still able to see his status screen and his attributes had increased by quite a margin.

Reading through his status screen, Shi Tian was astonished by the significant changes that the status screen had gone through since the last time he had opened it.

The attributes being increased due to his training were natural, alongside the levels.

However, it was the fact that his sub-class was now stated as voided, meaning he would need to choose one and it would only be available once he reached level 40.

In addition to that, his reputation now revealed more information, especially the negative reputation he held among Heaven's Mecha and the Harrett Family.

He already expected their relationships would sour thanks to the ploy he did in the wilderness, but Shi Tian never expected the White Syndicate would be added to the list as well.

'How did the White Syndicate have such a negative impression of me already when we never met? I didn't even mean to cause trouble to them in the first place.' Shi Tian cursed inwardly, realizing he had managed to make not one, but two big enemies at once.
