Chapter 112 Skylet Footwork



Chapter 112 Skylet Footwork

Shi Tian was utterly speechless at Mary's claim that her movement technique was nothing special.

How special was considered special then?

Her footwork was so fast that he couldn't even detect where and when she had disappeared from her original position.

Seeing his expression, Mary knew what was going through his mind.

"Don't be too surprised, Nathan. But if you think my Skylet Footwork is fast, then you haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg yet." She kindly reminded him.

She was someone that had seen what a pinnacle speed meant, and compared to her, she found herself lacking a lot.

Shi Tian merely nodded his head and silently ate his food. He didn't doubt her words since she didn't need to deceive him about such matters.

It was indeed a fact that he was no different than a frog in a well, unable to see the big picture with how small his vision was.

'Sigh, just how powerful did other people become then?' Shi Tian wondered silently.

He could feel a heavy mountain pressuring him whenever he thought about getting revenge. He was already 132 years late in the game, so it would be a strenuous task for him to catch up to them when he couldn't even get a glimpse of them at the moment.

"Stop pondering too much and go to sleep. You aren't thinking of making me pull an all-nighter, right?" Mary urged.

"I'll be in your care then," Shi Tian flashed a smile and grabbed the blanket that Mary had prepared beforehand.

Afterward, he closed his eyes and went to sleep soon enough.

The training today might not seem much, but it required a ton of concentration and stamina. Hence, he was truly exhausted and was barely keeping himself awake.

As Shi Tian went into a deep slumber, Mary held a nostalgic look at him. The current him reminded her of the past she was in.

She recalled being forced to train daily by Isaac Aaronax.

From top to bottom, she was covered in dirt and her face was completely dirty by the constant falling.

"Those days were truly painful enough that I wished to die at the end of the training. Yet somehow, they were always my most beautiful memories." Mary murmured, her eyes glancing at the window outside.

Outside the window was all foggy and gloomy, given the terrible atmosphere and environment that were affected because of unknown monsters.

This was the scenery that she was used to before temporarily settling in Geairts City with Isaac Aaronax.

Unfortunately, Mary couldn't even take the time to reminisce about her past before her watch made a beeping noise.

Shaking her head, Mary put on the gas mask and walked through a filter wall before exiting the vehicle.

The filter wall was a separation between the space in which air would be ventilated. It was installed to prevent hazardous air from entering the vehicle even if someone was trying to enter or exit the vehicle.

With the gas mask on, Mary glanced at her watch which indicated four red dots were rapidly approaching her location.

The beeping sound earlier was a notification in which the Iron Sentinel detected high hostility. In other words, it was a warning bell to alert her of enemies confirmed, meaning some people were coming to their location to attack them.

"I don't even get paid extra for working overtime, but these damn people really love to create trouble." Mary stretched her body and cursed.

She wasn't that surprised about people wanting to attack her at night.

After all, the Iron Sentinel alone was a valuable vehicle. Anyone with keen eyesight could tell the value of the Iron Sentinel was by any means not simple.

Not to mention, there were only the two of them camping here, making them an easy target on the surface.

Patiently waiting for the enemies to arrive, Mary calmly laid some more traps in the ground. These traps were originally meant for Shi Tian to avoid, but since some people just love seeking death, then it would be rude of her to not grant them such a wish.

With the traps being placed, Mary glanced at her watch again. There were still a few minutes left until they would meet.

'Forget it, I'll just let Nathan see my movement technique being utilized, lest he might take another entire day on the obstacle course.' Mary thought to herself, turning on one of the functions of the Iron Sentinel to record the surroundings.

Iron Sentinel could be said to be an all-around vehicle, capable of anything. It was even better than the normal electric vehicle or tank-like vehicle that only knows how to be sturdy.

Sometime later, four people could now be seen, with each of them holding a firearm. They were all dressed in military-like uniforms and had a gas mask on their face, making it difficult to know who they were.

Though it was the norm in the wilderness since everyone would be wearing a gas mask unless they wished to die.

"See what I said, Boss Layn! It's only the woman outside defending. I bet her other companion is now asleep." One of the rogue men rubbed his hands sneakily and snickered coldly.

"You did good this time, Kyle. If we can rob their vehicle and equipment, then we'll be rich." The boss, Layn, praised and complimented his subordinate.

His eyes were focused on the Iron Sentinel and its multiple installments of equipment. Such installments were extremely costly and they had truly struck it big this time to catch a big fish.

As the boss, Layn stepped forward and glanced at Mary. Seeing her pathetic height and figure, Layn didn't believe she was much of an opponent.

"Listen, so long as you drop your equipment and the vehicle, then I shall spare you and your companion. We only want money, and not life." Layn waved his hand and righteously said.

With money, who the hell would care about one woman?

'Tsk, another overconfident dude.' Mary sneered inwardly and rolled her eyes.
