Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

(This chapter addition is dedicated to Alliance Hierarch "Yeung ysl" as a token of gratitude! Another debt repaid, feeling really good. Four chapters today!)

"I can guarantee that you will die."

These were the words Mu Fan had spoken to Donatello earlier in the warehouse.

Especially the latter half...

You will surely die!

Mu Fan's gaze was as cold as the frozen ground.

This time, you must die.

Because you deserve to die!

But before that, there were more important things to do.

The chilling murder intent, however, was fully controlled within Mu Fan's eyes, undetected by the girl at his side.

Under the cloak of night, the stars cast their glow far and wide.

The two of them walked through the quiet, desolate area, supporting each other.

The sound of their footsteps only deepened the profoundness of the night.

The girl clung tightly to Mu Fan's arm, refusing to let go even slightly at this moment.

Through her tearful haze, feeling Mu Fan's breath, was probably the only emotional support Wang Nuonuo could find right now.

Mu Fan could feel the blood still seeping from his wounds, and he could hear the girl crying by his side.

"Sir, I'll go stop a car, you can't fall, it's all Nuonuo's fault, it's all Nuonuo's fault."

With red-rimmed eyes, the girl wiped away her tears and used all her strength to support Mu Fan's heavy body.

But she didn't know that Mu Fan was wearing a flexible training suit, weighing over a hundred kilograms. If not for Mu Fan's effort to shift the weight away, Nuonuo would have been crushed by his heavy body long ago.

"Don't cry, it's okay," Mu Fan said to Wang Nuonuo, managing a weak smile.

With a gentle flick of his wrist, an electric floating car slowly approached.

It was still the same one they had arrived in; the wristwatch had already detected the decline in Mu Fan's bodily functions.

"Mu Fan, you must receive treatment promptly. Your bodily functions have already decreased by 22%. According to the current rate of blood loss, your consciousness will start to blur in another 20 minutes." Black wouldn't waste a word more than necessary.

A slight click of teeth signaled understanding.

The floating car stopped before them, and its doors popped open automatically.

As the two of them entered, Wang Nuonuo was shocked to find that the car... had no driver!

The car began to move slowly.

"Autonomous vehicle." Mu Fan leaned back against the rear seat, feeling the slight dizziness from blood loss beginning to hit.

Nuonuo's hands, still supporting Mu Fan's arm, were trembling, "Sir, you need treatment now, let's go to the medical facility! I'll drive!"

He nodded with closed eyes, then shook his head, "I will arrange it."

At that moment, Black's voice echoed in Mu Fan's ear again, "Someone was sent to tail you."

A tablet popped up in front of them, displaying a video feed of three black floating cars emerging and tailing the vehicle from a distance.

"They're behind us!" Wang Nuonuo clearly saw the scene as well, grinding her teeth anxiously, her eyes red as she looked from Mu Fan's shoulder back to the steadily following cars.

"Don't worry about them... Vehicle system, go to the nearest medical facility." Mu Fan said with his eyes closed, no longer wanting to expend the energy to talk.

As for the second half of the sentence, he said it directly and calmly.

Black understood his intention, ready to convincingly play the role of an autonomous driving system.

"The nearest medical facility detected is East 1032 Medical Facility at the entrance of N104 Highway, Scale: Small, Treatment Range: Common external injuries and general diseases," the mechanical, synthesized voice of the electronics sounded in the car, a clear and direct conversation that didn't catch Wang Nuonuo's attention, assuming it was just the car's intelligent voice system.

She still held tightly onto Mu Fan's arm, refusing to let go.

Mu Fan could deduce from the reminder that this small medical facility could only handle external injuries and there wasn't a specialized surgical doctor available.

"Mu Fan, if I delay taking you any further, it will become extremely dangerous. The equipment room of that medical facility contains emergency medical packs and corresponding scalpels, and you'll need to remove the bullet and perform the first steps of disinfection and hemostasis yourself," Black's words echoed in his ears.

He gave a slight grunt as if to suppress some pain, and to Nuonuo watching beside him, it seemed like a grown-up's attempt to stifle an ache.

As for what was on his mind with his eyes closed, nobody knew.

The car slowly drove away.

Inside the warehouse, Lin Wu emerged from the back, while Gaoling Ze was complaining to his companion:

"Natello, although the events just now were thrilling, I always feel that it's not like you to let them go so easily. We didn't get a hold of the Loki Heavy Industry shares, nor did we extract information about the Extreme Special Soldier's whereabouts."

Hearing Gaoling Ze's complaint, Donald let out a cold smile and turned to the Bearded man: "Take a dozen people and get three cars. Track those two."

When Gaoling Ze saw Donald's action, his heart skipped a beat, sensing something was amiss.

There was still a contingency plan!

But would such tracking not be discovered?

"Alliance Hierarch, if we track them with three cars..." the Bearded man hesitated, not wanting to defy Donald's authority, but his words didn't guarantee they would go undetected.

"Worried about being discovered?" Donald cast a casual glance that tightened the scalp of the Bearded man.

Then he chuckled and spoke: "I want you to be discovered by them."

What did he mean!?

Gaoling Ze's mind could barely keep up with Donald's schemes.

"Hahaha, I want you to be discovered, I want them to know they are being followed, to instill fear and panic. Because right now, there's no way they can return to Dingchuan Academy!"

"Humph, the little princess came to save him, only to be as helpless as a cripple now, that arm won't be out for ten days even if soaked in a Biological Cabin. Moreover, at a time like this, is there even a chance to find a surgeon? They'll die in the car on the way to Dingchuan Academy."

Now Donald's face flushed with a pathological ruddy excitement!

That was the thrill of a strategy being successful.

He suddenly turned to Gaoling Ze and Lin Wu, his face filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction, and blissfully said: "A frail girl, burdened with such a liability, I want to see where she'll find the energy to deal with Loki Heavy Industry, how she'll save her family business, and her friend! With her grandfather gone, her trusted allies turned traitors, and the empire on the brink of collapse, I will watch as she mentally crumbles bit by bit, hahahaha."

"It doesn't matter now that the shares haven't been transferred; during these tormented times, the deal will become a certainty! No one in charge, no blood transfusions for Loki Heavy Industry—isn't this the perfect opportunity for us to take over?"

Hahaha!

His boisterous laughter blatantly revealed his dreadful scheming.

Gaoling Ze felt a shiver run down his spine as he looked at the neurotic young man, unconsciously licking his somewhat dry lips.

"But isn't there still the Mecha Tournament..." Gaoling Ze wanted to remind him. He had thought that he could deal with Donald as an equal, but after this revelation, he'd naturally lost some of his confidence.

Lin Wu listened and looked at Donald with interest. This was something he was curious about too.

But if even a fool like Gaoling Ze could think of it, how could Donald, with his viper-like cunning, not have considered it?

"The Mecha Tournament?"

Donald's crazed laughter subsided, and his face gradually became calm, finally revealing a cold, mocking smile.

"That's precisely why I sent people to track them. After pulling strings within the military and police, there are no useful people left on Blue Capital Star for Loki Heavy Industry..."

"Who will transport the Mechas? Who will maintain them? Who will perform the parameter tuning? Before that guy arrived, I had already crushed half of the Wang Family miss's hopes."

"Now, with the only Mechanical Master of Loki Heavy Industry turned into a cripple, I have nearly crushed all her hopes."

Closing his eyes and spreading his hands in front of him, Donald seemed to be intoxicated with the embrace of victory as he said:

"They may be unwilling... but as soon as they set out, we will learn about Loki Heavy Industry's secret base on this planet, and whether there is a second Extreme Special Soldier there. Hehehehe~ With this, we can follow the trail and ask the military to show its hand again."

"Hahahaha!"

His frenzied laughter once again thundered in the ears of the crowd.

Gaoling Ze stared in horror at Donald, who had calculated every possibility to its end, and for the first time, he doubted whether cooperating with such a person was the right decision.

This man was a madman, a thorough madman!
