Chapter 326 Coming In Hot
The situation inside the Iron Sentinel had grown tense.
Even Vanessa, who was planning to watch the show from the sideline, was astonished by the revelation.
"Wait a minute, Nathan knew something all along?" Swallowing some of her saliva unconsciously and nearly choking, Vanessa exclaimed in shock.
Given that Shi Tian had only informed Mary and Isaac Aaronax in the past when he discovered his reputation list in the status screen had listed those who had a negative value of him, it was clear that Vanessa was kept in the dark.
However, that could not be blamed since Shi Tian didn't wish to involve too many people in his situation.
Not to mention, he didn't even have an idea who Jonas Hill was when he noticed the negative 45 value.
But with the current revelations one after another, Shi Tian had a feeling that Jonas Hill was the true mastermind behind everything. Otherwise, how could anyone explain the fact that Theobold had the Hill Family stamp of approval?
With all that conclusive thought, here comes the main problem.
How did he know about the name Jonas Hill?
As if that wasn't the worst part, how did he learn of that name and tell them to be wary of it?
'I doubt a mediocre excuse would help me out.' Shi Tian thought to himself. With Mary's intelligence, if he gave a half-baked excuse, it would be shot down rather quickly.
The integrated chip in his mind was his greatest secret, so no matter what, Shi Tian would never ever reveal it to another person.
Call him paranoid or selfish or whatever you believe in.
Revealing one's greatest trump card was equivalent to exposing yourself naked in front of everyone, allowing them to thoroughly analyze you.
"Would you believe me if I said I really don't know anything?' Shi Tian held a bittersweet smile as he asked if they could believe him.
After all, if the role were to be swapped, even Shi Tian would have serious doubts about the opposing person.
To his surprise though, Mary nodded her head and retreated away.
"Although it's very suspicious of you to somehow know something, I doubt you are resourceful enough to be orchestrating these things." Mary shrugged her shoulders and said, seemingly dispelling her suspicions.
However, the reason for her to dispel it was quite hurtful, to be honest.
She was essentially proclaiming that he was incapable of doing such things even if he wanted to.
That was kind of more hurtful than actually being accused of being involved.
Luckily, Shi Tian was not the type to brood over such matters as he breathed out a sigh of relief, narrowingly avoiding being interrogated further.
While this situation was temporarily put aside, one person was still dumbfounded by the whole ordeal.
"Am I the only one still confused here?" Vanessa asked, glancing back and forth between Shi Tian and Mary.
"Yes, you are. So suck it up and continue to monitor the injured soldier on our behalf." Mary coldly said and commanded her, using the same kind of tone that Vanessa had used earlier on the injured soldier.
It was kind of ironic, or maybe it was karma for her previous action.
However, Vanessa wasn't the type to simply shut her mouth and obey others. If so, she wouldn't have come all the way over here from Chronosworth City.
"Why should I monitor him?" Vanessa crossed her arms and asked haughtily.
"Then let the injured soldier die, and that you wasted your effort and energy on him." Mary rolled her eyes.
"I-I..."
Stumped, Vanessa was unwilling to let all her effort go to waste. noVE)lb/1n
If she was going to let the injured soldier die from the start, then why did she even spend all that effort to head outside to cure him?
"Hmph, even if the soldier wanted to die, he must ask for my permission. I dared him to even try." Lifting up her sleeves, Vanessa stormed off her chair and rushed to the injured soldier, her expression extremely fierce.
Shi Tian felt his arms were getting goosebumps when he saw that kind of expression.
'That injured soldier could have comet crash anywhere in this large acre of wasteland, but he had to choose the road in front of us. It's like he's asking to be tortured.' Shi Tian thought to himself, feeling zero sympathy for the injured soldier.
A soldier must always be prepared to face life-and-death situations, so he should be grateful that he was rescued.
As for the other great treatment and care?
What a joke!
Have you ever seen any soldiers being treated well?
If you did, then those aren't real soldiers.
Real soldiers are always in difficult terrain, committing the most dangerous mission at the cost of their lives in return for the safety and peace they are fighting for.
Though Shi Tian's thought process was soon interrupted by Mary.
"Anyway, send me the coordinates of the battlefield, Nathan." Mary sat down, her hands holding onto the steering wheel as she asked for the location.
"Sent," With fast efficiency, Shi Tian quickly sent Mary the specific coordination of the battlefield.
Having cooperated with her for quite a while by now, Shi Tian knew she was going to ask for it, so he had it ready.
"Nice, it's not going to be easier than the dense area." Mary stepped on the accelerator pedal and warned him.
Of course, Shi Tian already understood what they were going to face as they advanced forward. Two military commanders practically going to war with each other wasn't something easy to dispel.
Nevertheless, they are going to be coming in hot on them and stop them from having a civil war.
Why would they do something so troublesome?
The answer was easy. It was very easy because it didn't require many brain cells to comprehend.
If they are going to fight with their lives on the line, then they might as well use those enthusiasm and bravery on the monster wave instead. That way, they could relax and not have to exert much effort.
"Let's just hope we make it in time to save our cannon fodders." Shi Tian murmured, praying that the soldiers were still alive.
