Chapter 211 Spymon

Vanessa stood in the elevator, her emotions in turmoil.

The doors closed, isolating her from Shi Tian's apartment. The emotions she had suppressed for a long time now surged forth.

Betrayal, anger, hurt – they all mixed together in a bitter cocktail. She felt a sense of vulnerability that she hadn't allowed herself to feel in a very long time.

The elevator descended to the ground floor, and Vanessa stepped out into the lobby of the apartment complex.

She had a lot to process, but right now, she needed a change of scenery. She decided to take a walk, to clear her mind and try to make sense of everything that had transpired.

And naturally, she could sense Cyrus and the rest of the soldiers nearby, following her.

It seemed that they might have noticed her unusualness and decided to stay back a little.

Cyrus signaled for his soldiers to simply conceal their presence while ensuring her safety.

As a man that had a wife still waiting for him at home, he could discern the emotion that Vanessa echoed was similar to his depressed wife when he failed to be with her all the time.

Although he was unsure of what happened between her and Shi Tian, he could tell it most likely had something to do with relocating her to a safe house.

Vanessa's safety was the top priority, given that she held the key to suppress the monster wave. Thus, they can't allow another similar assassination incident to occur under their heavy watch.

'I shouldn't have come to Gearits City.' Vanessa mulled over, feeling exhausted.

While Vanessa walked around the streets mindlessly, back at the apartment, Shi Tian was sitting on the couch.

He wasn't regretting his action, given that it was the best course of action. Of course, there might be a better alternative or a roundabout way to get this outcome, but it was better than nothing.

What he was pondering was the text message that Vanessa had sent to him before leaving.

He hadn't realized she had sent a text to him until he took out his Cellos device once she left.

And apparently, one of her subordinates had investigated that Lyndon Sinclair was actually an alias from her uncle, Matron Pearce.

"Talk about great timing…" Shi Tian muttered, seemingly unable to fathom how he managed to time it so well to give double emotional damage to Vanessa.

Not only was she betrayed by a close-kin, but he had also added salt to injury, indirectly kicking her out from his apartment.

Shaking his head, Shi Tian believed this might actually be better than his initial thought process. Now she would truly hate him to the gut, and would refuse to interact with him in the future.

Sometime later, Shi Tian returned to his mini workbench, and began to study the new blueprint.

A blueprint with the title Spymon.

Essentially, this is a miniature item that could scan the surroundings and transmit the data in real-time. What made this a fascinating item was the fact that it could enable an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP).

When "detonated," an EMP weapon produces a pulse of energy that creates a powerful electromagnetic field capable of short-circuiting a wide range of electronic equipment, particularly computers, satellites, radios, radar receivers, etc.

Though it would only last about 10 seconds, and after detonation, the Spymon would self-destruct.

Nevertheless, this Spymon gadget was impressive and Shi Tian was grateful to Isaac Aaronax, allowing him to study and learn it for free.

Such a gadget was naturally expensive to be made, especially the cost of learning it. Yet Isaac Aaronax was extremely generous and willing to teach him.

'At this rate, I'm going to be in a lot of debt.' Shi Tian thought to himself.

Converting the knowledge he obtained into currency, Shi Tian was sure he would become broke as hell– to the point that even if he were to beg for money with his life, it still won't be enough to cover the cost.

Time slowly passed by and Shi Tian had a somewhat concept of what the Spymon's properties were like.

And just when he was getting ready to craft the Claymore Mine first, given he was more familiar with it, his Cellos device rang.

Glancing at the caller, Shi Tian realized it was Isaac Aaronax– someone he hadn't contacted in a long time aside from a simple message transfer from Mary. contemporary romance

Accepting the call, a holographic projection emitted and Isaac Aaronax's face could be seen.

Before Shi Tian could even greet him properly, Isaac Aaronax instantly went to the main point, "Nathan, have you finished comprehending the Spymon blueprint?"

Shi Tian nodded his head.

"Yes, Master Isaac. I've finished studying it, but I'm going to craft the Claymore Mines first." He responded calmly.

"Good, the Claymore Mines are more important at the moment. Commander Theobold had given us a heads up that our supplies would be delivered to them, so you can rest assured about that part. The Harrett Family wouldn't be able to take advantage of us now."

Raising his eyebrow, it was only now that Shi Tian realized he hadn't managed to inform them about who might be the true culprit of the current incident.

Thus, he spent the next few minutes, relaying all the information he knew.

Though he concealed the matter about Vanessa's uncle being the culprit. It was clear to him that Vanessa wanted to handle this matter alone, so he wasn't going to go against her will, especially with what just happened.

Meanwhile, Isaac Aaronax was silent, seemingly in deep ponder over the revelation.

"Hmm, I see…" Isaac Aaronax said.

"I'll inform Mary about it, and you should just focus on crafting the Claymore Mines first. I'll send you some more details on how the Spymon are crafted and you should be careful of it. The EMP denotation of the Spymon might be miniature but if you make a mistake under the Crimson Mage's property, then you are screwed." He added, warning Shi Tian to not be hasty about it.

"Roger that," Shi Tian nodded his head, ending the call and resuming his work to begin crafting.
