Reboot: Mechanic-Chapter 332 Cease Fire

Having gone back to the topic, Shi Tian flexed his mechanical right arm for Phoebe, almost as if he was telling her that it was him.

Squinting her eyes, Phoebe stared at his mechanical right arm, seemingly dumbfounded that the Light Beam was produced from the right arm.

'Was he hiding his ability?' Phoebe wondered silently. Given that Shi Tian was already a known mechanic, it wouldn't be surprising that he would have more items in his craft.

However, the Light Beam earlier was simply too powerful, and even she was afraid of her soldiers being hit by it. So now that she realized Shi Tian was capable of crafting such items and weaponry, she needed to reevaluate Shi Tian.

A profound mechanic was not to be estimated, especially when they have a lot of equipment in their sleeves that could disrupt an entire battle or situation. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Sometime later, Shi Tian decided to go straight to the point.

"The two commanders, I suggest you cease fire now." He suggested, but was more in demand.

"And before Commander Benedict attempted to use his mighty aura or authority to tell us that we have no right. I wished to ask, what rights do you have to cause numerous casualties and wasting resources for internal strife?" Shi Tian glared at Benedict when he noticed he was about to throw a fit again.

Sure enough, Benedict was stumped and had no excuse for his action. To be more precise, he was unwilling to give his excuse, given that the reasonings for such actions truly didn't compensate for the outcome.

No one in their right mind would be causing such a massive battle when things were still chaotic.

Only an idiot like Benedict would do such a thing, and he was a commander?

Says a lot about the Carlson Family's intelligence to implement someone like him in such a high rank.

As the atmosphere became awkward, Mary decided to intervene to de-escalate the situation.

This was their plan from the start, with Shi Tian being the aggressor, and she being the mild one.

"Listen, the soldiers are already wounded for a bad cause, and I don't wish to have more hindrance when the monster wave is about to attack us again. So long as you agree to cease fire and call a temporary truce until the monster wave is suppressed, our lips are sealed." Mary explained calmly.

Both Phoebe and Benedict seemed to ponder this proposition.

The tension on the battlefield persisted, but the idea of a ceasefire resonated with them, especially as they considered the impending monster wave. The potential for a united defense against a common enemy began to outweigh the prideful continuation of their internal strife.

"I'm fine with the cease-fire, but I'm not sure if this Egg Benedict agrees to it." Phoebe shrugged her shoulders and pushed all the blame on Benedict.

And despite that being the truth, Benedict was unwilling to receive all the blame. "Hmph, if it weren't for you collaborating with Theobold, then would I have started a fight? All along, you were baiting me to go further and further away from the camp."

"I was not baiting you. I was seriously intrigued whether you had an intuition or not." Phoebe defended.

"As if!" Benedict snorted coldly. "If you were truly intrigued then you would have informed me long ago, and not at this time."

"Ahh, Gearits City was truly in good hands when we got these two military commanders." Shi Tian sighed softly on the sideline.

"Don't you agree, Mary?" He then turned to Mary and asked, clearly provoking the two.

"Brat, just because you gain some achievement for the frontline, doesn't mean you're invulnerable." Benedict threatened. He might have some discord with Phoebe, but that doesn't mean outsiders like Shi Tian could comment on them.

The behavior and reaction of Benedict wasn't anything special, because that was just how realities were.

As long as you were equal with them in status, then you can insult or tease them without having to worry.

But once a person with a somewhat inferior status attempts to do such a thing, then those insults and teases are equivalent to disrespecting them and could result in a severe backlash.

However, that was only an "if" situation or whether the inferior status was truly ignorant or had the qualification to back it up.

"Go ahead, Commander Benedict. I dare you to try and launch an attack on me." Shi Tian stepped forward, and spread his arms out, looking defenseless. It was crystal clear that Shi Tian was daring Benedict to make a move at him and that he would not retaliate.

"Fine, you've asked for it." Benedict snickered coldly and was about to strike, but Phoebe managed to intervene and stop him in time.

Benedict wanted to shout at her for stopping him. Unfortunately, when he felt the cold aura and cold expression from her, his sound seemed to have been set at zero, not uttering a single sound.

"You must be kidding us right, Gavin?" Phoebe giggled softly and said, "We're a military commander, not some barbarian. We would never lay a hand on a lawful abiding citizen, especially someone that had gained achievement in this current monster wave."

Shi Tian gradually lowered his arms and nodded his head.

"Is that so? Commander Benedict really had me worried there for a second." He then said, taking a step back and snapping his finger.

With that snap, Vanessa, who was inside the Iron Sentinel, pressed a button in the control panel. Soon, a somewhat transmitter appeared outside from the interior.

After waiting for a second, Shi Tian then pointed at the transmitter. "I was really scared for Commander Benedict for a second because if he had truly struck at me. Then his deed would instantly be exposed, and I'm afraid we might have witnessed a second incident, namely, Damon's downfall 2.0."

"You– what?" Shocked, Benedict was in disbelief that he nearly fell into a trap that might result in the same outcome as Damon.
