Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 338  Well-Spoken

As the crowd of spectators waited in anticipation, Olivia Harrett began pointing fingers at Theobold directly. Theobold's soldiers were livid when they saw how she was disrespecting their commander, but what could they do?

Theobold had made sure to signal his soldiers to back down and not do anything at all. Unlike them, Theobold knew Olivia Harrett was tempting him to make a move so that she could further her aggression. With Olivia Harrett repeatedly attempting to provoke Theobold, Phoebe on the side seemed to be trying to de-escalate the situation.

"Young Lady Olivia, everyone here is prioritizing over the suppression of the monster wave. We can't afford to waste time like this." Phoebe said calmly.

But little did she know, Olivia Harrett turned to her attention and glared. "Oh, so you're telling me that I'm wasting everyone's time when Commander Theobold here is so righteous to kick Damon off the frontline?" 'Wasn't she an impulsive woman? How did she become so glib-tongue?' Shi Tian, who heard it, was surprised by her counter. Although he had never interacted with Olivia Harrett directly, he had managed to hear her immaturity from afar. The current Olivia Harrett seemed to have become a different person, almost as if she turned… smarter? "That was not my meaning, Young Lady Olivia." Phoebe quickly shook her head and denied the allegation. "What I'm trying to say is that Commander Theobold and I, along with the rest of the people here, have to deal with the monster wave. We need to prepare ourselves, given that the movement of the monster wave seemed to be active again and ready to strike." She added, reminding Olivia Harrett of the current situation.

However, it was quite clear that Phoebe was trying to imply that Olivia Harrett was causing a scene unreasonably and if any mishaps were to go wrong, it would be her and the Harrett Family's fault.

It was truly a devious remark of Phoebe that had so many hidden layers of implication. And when Shi Tian thought this spoiled young lady would definitely fall for the trap, the opposite happened.

"Commander Phoebe, you are quite a pessimistic person. How am I delaying your so-called preparation when I recalled you had just come back to the camp?" Olivia Harrett raised an eyebrow and asked. "Also, if I recall, Commander Theobold here wanted to drive Damon out from assisting in the frontline. So who is the one that is truly trying to disrupt the morale and forces in the frontline?" She then questioned, astonishing everyone in the present. Olivia Harrett's point made complete sense. Yes, it was true that Damon tried to accuse Benedict and failed, but that doesn't mean Damon needed to get out of the frontline.

Damon's soldiers were all extreme addicts in training, so their strengths were crystal clear to the people here. Since Damon falsely accused Benedict, then shouldn't he redeem himself by suppressing the monster wave? "Those don't seem to be her wordings, Nathan." While everyone was dumbfounded by Olivia Harrett's rebuttal, Mary seemed to have noticed something suspicious. "You mean someone else is directing her speech?" Shi Tian looked at Mary and asked softly. Mary nodded her head. "I have investigated this Olivia Harrett person before, and all information came with a single conclusion. She was an immature brat, and there is no way she would suddenly be so fluent in her speech." "If you've said it, then it means the current her is receiving instruction from someone on how to rebuke others. " Shi Tian mumbled. "And that person should be someone more authoritative than her, such as her father, Samuel Harrett. Only he is capable of instructing her and commanding her to listen." Mary concluded. The pieces were falling together and it made perfect sense of the current confusing scenes. Samuel Harrett was the highest commanding personnel in the Harrett Family, so it would have been beneath his status to come all the way over here to lecture a military commander. However, if that person changed to the well-known spoiled brat, namely his daughter, then everything would be easier.

Everyone knows Olivia Harrett's temperament in the higher circle, so who could complain about it? "Heh, let's revert this well-spoken Olivia back to her immaturity then." Shi Tian suddenly flashed a cold grin. He might not have liked Theobold because of his devious scheme and conduct, but their current circumstances needed Theobold. In fact, he even made all the trouble to be on the good side of Phoebe.

Hence, Shi Tian could not allow Olivia Harrett, or more importantly, the person behind her to reverse the tide. "What are you planning to do?" Mary asked in a cautious tone. "Don't do anything that might cause us to be the focus of attention." "Rest assured, Mary." Shi Tian chuckled softly. "Look at Vanessa, she's waiting by the sideline to make her entrance, but is currently hesitating because of how well-spoken Olivia is. Since she needed an opportunity, I'm merely giving Vanessa one." He pointed at Vanessa and said. "And how are you going to pull that off?" "With this Spymon." Shi Tian grinned and retrieved an item that he had crafted. The Spymon was an electromagnetic pulse item, with the blueprint given to him long ago by Isaac Aaronax, and it took him a long time to even successfully create one.

The rest of the attempts ended up in failure, resulting in him with quite the heartache for losing so many precious materials.

Hence, he had never once taken it out to use it, because the Spymon was a one-time use item. Once activated, it will be self-detnotated, meaning all the materials inside would be rendered useless as well.

He can't even recycle the material and use the leftover pieces to recreate another. It was truly an expensive item that only the rich could afford to waste. "I'm not going to compensate you for utilizing the Spymon." Mary instantly made her stance loud and clear that she wasn't going to reimburse him. "Rest assured, the one who will reimburse me isn't you… but Vanessa." Shi Tian laughed sinisterly.
