Chapter 356 Assisting
?A few minutes had passed, and Vanessa subsequently exited the Iron Sentinel, seemingly in panic.
Luckily, her panic seemed to have vanished once she noticed Shi Tian and Mary were standing in the distance.
"Phew, I thought you two were really that heartless in dumping me." Vanessa caught up to them and said with a sigh of relief.
"But I bet it's probably because you needed my presence to ensure your safety." She then questioned, seemingly suspicious that the two truly waited for her.
Based on her understanding and interaction with these two in the past weeks, Vanessa was positive that they would definitely leave her if it weren't for her special identity.
And to her astonishment, both Shi Tian and Mary nodded their heads simultaneously.
It was clear that the two had no intention of bothering to hide their action.
"Shameless!" Vanessa hissed coldly.
"You're free to return if you don't want to be our protective shield." Shi Tian shrugged and turned around.
Mary also turned around and began walking toward Theobold's location where he was busy confronting the monster wave.
Seeing how nonchalant their behavior was, Vanessa simply sighed and was too exhausted to even complain. She had seen shameless people before, but it was the first time she had to deal with people like them.
Not only did they not care about being exposed, but they even admitted to using her to their advantage.
Just what was she supposed to counter when they didn't even bother defending or hiding it?
Shaking her head, Vanessa rushed ahead and chased after them.
This kind of fighting was exciting for her after all. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
Being cooped up in the safe haven of Chronosworth City for a long time, a fight on this kind of scale had never been seen by her. At least, not with her very own two eyes personally in the scene.
"Then just tell me your educated guess." Vanessa pouted. "It doesn't have to be right."
Glancing back and forth, Shi Tian wanted to make sure no one was eavesdropping them.
A few seconds later, Shi Tian moved close to her and whispered in her ear, "The most likely suspect should be Phoebe. She's the one that's closest here, so Theobold may be struggling hard because she has done something."
Feeling his breathing in her ear, Vanessa's face gradually turned red, probably from embarrassment.
After he finished whispering, Shi Tian moved away from Vanessa, his expression remained unchanged.
He was more concerned with the turbulence they might face.
With Theobold being so different from what they had initially met, Shi Tian was unable to think of his next action. For someone to change so drastically, meant that they are never the type to be comprehended from the start.
Whatever Theobold had shown to the public, all of it could be a fake and was never his true self.
Another possibility was that some of them were true, but had now been mixed with lies.
Theobold could be the honorable man that the citizens of Gearits City know about, but because of a certain event, he is now a changed man.
As for that reason, Shi Tian believed it was because of his impotence, but was that the true reason, Shi Tian could not confirm it.
'Theobold concealed himself too much,' Shi Tian thought to himself.
Unable to read a person was challenging, but that wouldn't stop him from advancing forward.
"Let's go, Vanessa." Shi Tian calmly said when he noticed Mary signal to follow ahead.
Catching up to Mary, Shi Tian enquired what the soldier had informed her.
"Theobold is struggling because the number of Gilaso variants exceeded his estimations. So now he's asking us to assist him by using our traps and..." Mary paused her words as she turned her attention to Vanessa.
Shi Tian instantly understood the gist of that small action.
"What an insidious commander. He wants Vanessa to use her Ancient Technology already." He sneered coldly.
