<h4>Chapter 133 Basic Trust</h4>


    Staring at Mary for quite a while, he still couldn''t find a logical exnation for her action.


    It just simply made zero sense and doesn''t benefit her in any way.


    In fact, it was a detrimental action for her because he could easily back off from being a decoy now that he realized what kind of trouble he was going to attract.


    "You can stop staring at me already, Nathan. Although I know I''m beautiful, it''s still a bit ufortable to have someone stare at me so intensely." Mary suddenly said, even joking about it too.


    s, Shi Tian was in no mood for a joke.


    He held a solemn expression and asked, "Why did you reveal such information to me?"


    Mary chuckled softly and shrugged her shoulders. "Simple, to establish a basic trust."


    "Just that?" Shi Tian raised an eyebrow, clearly refusing that kind of reasoning. Mary''s intelligence wasn''t to be underestimated, so she must have known the consequences of her action just now.


    "Consider this a reward for listening to my demands so far. Now, you can still choose whether or not to act as a decoy for us." Mary said, crossing her legs while shing an amused expression.


    A few minutes slowly started to pass by, and Shi Tian suddenly burst out inughter.


    "Ahh~, you are really shrewd, Mary." Shi Tian eximed, pping his hands and giving her a thumbs up.


    Luckily his intelligence had risen, otherwise, he would have truly failed to notice what Mary had aplished by revealing this information.


    By revealing this information to him now, it would then portray Mary as someone trustworthy and not someone that had purposely concealed information from him.


    And normally, that would be the case, except once he took a factor of their current ce, then the circumstances changed entirely.


    They are now situated in a reserved area within the safe hold, meaning the chances of encountering people from Heaven''s Mecha are high. After all, Heaven''s Mecha and Optic Mech don''t have the greatest rtionship, and could even be consideredpetitors.


    And if some of the people within Heaven''s Mecha worked directly for the Harrett Family and revealed the information identally, then Shi Tian by that time would be extremely wary of Mary for concealing such critical information.


    Once that kind of situation urred, their rtionship would be strained beyond repair.


    What a basic trust she stated!


    "Sigh, it seems like you still figured it out in the end," Mary shook her head when she saw Shi Tianughing wildly, plus thement about her being shrewd.


    It was a far cry from her original expectation regarding his reaction to the revtion. As expected, she had somewhat underestimated Shi Tian.


    "Welp, are you still nning on bing our decoy?" She subsequently asked.


    "What else could I possibly say?" Shi Tian shrugged his shoulders and sighed.


    Even if he learned of this information now, there wasn''t really much he could do. He had received quite a lot of resources to improve his craft and strength.


    Not to mention, he didn''t exactly have a high opinion of Heaven''s Mecha either, given the arrogant tone of their previous representatives in Optic Mech.


    The attitude and behavior of an employee in theirpany could directly reflect what sort of working environment they are in or the type of people they worked for.


    If the employees are amicable and kind, then it was a clear sign of the employer being magnanimous or at least close to it.


    However, if the employees are a bunch of arrogant people that believed themselves to be all high and mighty, then the chances of their employers being scum as well are high.


    "Great, I''m d you now know the kind of situation you''re in. So please, get stronger and not be a punching bag." Mary sped her hands in joy.


    Meanwhile, Shi Tian twitched his mouth and once again decided to choose to activate his selective hearing ability, ignoring herst remark.


    And seeing his silence, Mary was quite satisfied.


    Although the reaction was a bit different than her prediction, the result she wanted to achieve was still the same, and that was to get Shi Tian fully boarded their ship.


    It could now be said if Optic Mech was to fail, then he would simrly receive the same fate.


    A few secondster, Shi Tian asked curiously, "Well, what are we doing here then? To announce my appearance to the people scrutinizing us at this very moment?"


    He then leaned on the table and ced his hand on his face, looking right at Mary.


    He didn''t wish to admit it, but he truly fell right into the palm of her hand.


    Ever since she mentioned going to the Outer Layer, Shi Tian didn''t think much about it and believed it was necessary for the training.


    s, the reality was a far cry from just training.


    With people heavily scrutinizing them, Shi Tian was afraid that he was being investigated at the very moment, especially those from Heaven''s Mecha.


    And why would he believe that?


    They are now in a reserved area that only a few people could obtain. Only a fool wouldn''t investigate what kind of people were able to have a reserved area to themselves.


    "Yeah, that sounds about right, and mainly because I didn''t wish to sleep in the vehicle again. The people that went exploring should return soon, so we just need to wait for them." Mary yawned and stretched her body.


    "So we''re just going to wait for the people that were here before us to return huh?"


    "Of course… not." Mary suddenly snickered coldly. She pointed at the boxes that she brought along with her from the Iron Sentinel and shed a wicked smile.


    And for some reason, Shi Tian had a premonition that this kind of smile was equivalent to telling him to be a ve worker.


    His premonition was soon confirmed when Mary stood up and opened the boxes.


    "That''s right, Nathan. These are the remnants of the ymore mines that you recklessly used. So repair them all while I take a nap."
