Chapter 832 - Lurk 4

Panda Novel

“Understood!” Clint sat in the cockpit as he recalled the few times he saw a Pilot’s behavior inside. He then felt inspired and tried to mimic what he recalled from the movie.

“Life No. 1! Engage!!’

“Engage my ass!! Stop it!!”

Boom!!

The Black Mech immediately fell down in the center of the garden, and dust flew up into the air. The Black Mech looked like an old farmer carrying a huge wok on its back as its arms were dismally crossed over its chest while it toppled facedown onto the ground.

The whole garden shook along with a few of the toys hanging on the wall. Alarms blared and red lights swung about, but fortunately, there were no more movements and the red light started to dim down over time.

“You idiot!! Get your ass up!!” Red Moon’s shouting had Clint trembling from head to toe as he quickly ordered the Mech to stand up.

As long as he had enough Willpower, it would be very easy to make the Mech walk. It was just that he had been too caught up in the moment and the problem had arisen.

“It’s my fault boss! Boss!!” the first thing Clint did was to beg for forgiveness. However, it was too late…

“Ahhh!!!!”

With the terrified cry, even Baylon, who was inside the room, was scared to the point she curled up.

Inside the cockpit, Clint twitched his body to fit in as he sat in a very awkward position.

“Alright, let that be a lesson for you. You know what’ll happen if you fool around with the Mech next time,” Red Moon was angry, but at the same time, he’d calmed down. “Alright, now listen to me.”

“Yes…” Clint was running out of strength.

“This Mech will listen to your orders and it’s named the Life No.1. However, these are not important. What’s important is what I’m going to tell you right now!” it was one of those rare moments where Red Moon spoke seriously.

Clint immediately sat properly and focused. Although he was tortured by Red Moon on a daily basis, he knew that Red Moon really wanted the best for him deep in his heart. Hence he was actually very grateful to Red Moon.

“Firstly, the current Mech you’re driving has no Habitable System, Hydraulic Suspension, nothing. This means that the moment you enter into those harsh environments, you can only rely on your body to stay alive. These include high-pressure environments, vacuum space, and even high inertial momentum. You have to be careful as the moment the Mech enters these harsh environments, your life will be in grave danger.”

Clint listened half-heartedly as he already knew of these troublesome conditions from all the Mech movies he’d watched. However, he didn’t have a general idea how dangerous it really was as his brain was all muddled. However, Red Moon didn’t care what his current state of mind was and continued.

“However, you have your advantages as well, especially the advantage that I’ve given you!”

He paused for a moment, “To others, this Mech is technically garbage, as they may complain that it uses up too much energy for even attempting to pick up a heavy object. However, this Mech is something very useful to you because you’re different from the other Pilots.”

Red Moon’s tone turned more serious over time.

“The Forbidden Mech’s strength comes from its forbidden power source!”

“Its forbidden power source?”

Noting that Clint asking a question, Red Moon held a satisfied expression on his face and continued.

“The Forbidden Mech has all sorts of unique abilities, and my strongest ability is the Memory of War!!”

“Memory of War? What’s that?” Clint’s instincts told him that it was something incredible.

“Memory of War means that you’re able to obtain the other Pilot’s technique and experience if you’ve sat in their Mech before. You would keep absorbing their experiences and attain powerful strength through this. This skill or ability belongs uniquely to me. A powerful ability that only Lord Red Moon possesses!” Red Moon explained proudly.

“Oh!”

“In other words, as long as you have a Mech and enough combat experience with a Mech, you’re able to activate the previous techniques that you used. This is the true strength of the Forbidden Mech and the reason why it’s forbidden!” Red Moon said. “This is also the reason why I wanted you to collect those broken parts.”

“It’s a pleasure meeting you, we’re the Charm mercenary group that you’ve hired.”

Inside a hotel outside the Academy, the moment Garen entered the room, he saw a few beautiful women waving and smiling at him.

Under the soft yellow light, he was in a white suit that he had just changed into. He closed the door and looked at these five young women who were either standing up or sitting down.

Among these girls, the oldest one was not more than thirty and the youngest one was only about fifteen to sixteen years old. Just as what he’d understood from earlier, they were all beautiful and elegant and all of them were in tight black miniskirt uniforms. The moment he opened the door and glanced at them, Garen knew that the golden curly hair girl in the center was the leader.

“Who’s Captain Inari? I came here the moment I finished my class. My schedule is very tight so we need to schedule our time as soon as possible.”Garen didn’t plan to beat around the bush with these girls and went straight to the main point.

“That’s cool. I’m Inari,” as expected, the golden curly hair girl walked forward and replied firmly, giving off a very noble, lady-like vibe.

“Have you received the employment contract?” Garen asked immediately.

“Yes. We do not have any additional requests here,” Inari replied instantly.

“Same goes to me. Let’s sign the agreement then. I’ll give you the money based on the schedule we’ve set earlier, where I will give you the first half and the remaining half after everything is over,” Garen said calmly.

“No problem.”

Inari nodded and both parties pointed their Watch Terminals at each other’s. After a while, a soft ring of confirmation came from their Terminals.

Garen was currently in a very panicked state.

The White Light Terrorist Group was running rampant, causing the Blackboard Region’s security to tighten up considerably. If he were to slack further, he might not be able to reach the edge in such a short time. Hence he had to make a quick decision.

After discussing with Celine, he decided to hire the Charm mercenary group to protect himself as he traveled to the Polar Region to meet the honorable noble.

At the same time, if he were able to sell himself with his profit and obtain a small piece of land, that would be the best course for him.

“I need to head towards the Polar Region and meet a very important person right now. Hence I need you guys to follow me to that region,” Garen went straight to the point.

“What!” “I just arrived and we’re going out again…” “It can’t be”

All of the beautiful women started complaining.

Inari was slightly surprised as well and reassessed Garen once more. Their motive in approaching Nonosiva was just a peak in interest as they wanted to steal his training method back home. However, their actual motive lay elsewhere, and if possible, they wanted to get in contact with the Blackboard Academy’s Blue Narcissus with Nonosiva as the bridge. They wanted to obtain the seed of those talented men and return back to their country.

“It’s fine if you don’t wish to go. I can always hire someone else,” Garen couldn’t care less of what they thought as he had already applied a vacation leave to the academy and Instructor Hamm had already sent it to the academy on his behalf. The notice would be processed in a very short while.

“As the region doesn’t allow non-military civilians to operate a Mech, we are unable to use them and we have sent all the Mechs for maintenance. I’m afraid we may not be able to take them out…” it was obvious that Inari wasn’t willing to leave the place.

“Then I’ll assign you another mission. You guys can protect my family in the dark. My house address is located here up north in the region,” Garen sent his house address to them via his Watch Terminal. Although he knew that they already knew of this due to their prior research, he still had to act it through.

“I’m fine with that,” Charm was hoping that their mission would have some free time in between as well. These women weren’t just a breeding team from Maria, they were also highly ranked intelligence spies in disguise. They would occasionally assassinate a person or two, so it’s normal for them to change up their identities and relax for a bit.

Although Garen didn’t consider up to such an extent, based on his probing, he knew that the opponent had an even more important objective than to steal his technique. Hence he didn’t bother with them. With his vast experience in martial arts, he knew that four out of five of these women were no longer virgins based on their physical structure. Furthermore, they’re all veterans acting pure and innocent.

He wasn’t interested in them at all, as the most important objective to him was to meet the honorable noble. He didn’t want to miss this opportunity Celine had presented to him. If he managed to establish a connection with him, his future development would be much easier.

“Then it shall be arranged so. I hope you guys can do your best,” Garen glanced at them emotionlessly as he felt that they were a bunch of mysterious people.

“Don’t worry about it. Being a bodyguard is a very simple and easy task,” Inari nodded as she smiled.

“I’m glad to hear that. I shall take my leave now,” Garen didn’t hesitate for a moment as he turned around and walked towards the door.

As Garen walked out of the room, a waiter was pushing a dining car across the corridor. As Garen stood by the door as he waited for the dining car to pass through, he was thinking how to shake off the attention from the people paying attention to him so that he could successfully meeting the honorable noble. If Blue Narcissus were to find out that he had given the profit to the honorable noble, it might create some bad reputation. Hence he had to be extremely careful before finishing his objective.

He walked on the thick red carpet towards the elevator. As he pressed the button and waiting for the arrival of the elevator, a fat merchant holding onto two beautiful women walked out of the elevator. The tipsy merchant glanced at Garen and gave him a few more looks the moment he saw the Blackboard Academy’s emblem on his uniform.

Garen walked into the elevator to see two female hotel workers who seemed to have just finished their work whispering to each other at the corner of the elevator. As they saw Garen entering, they stopped talking as they noticed the Blackboard Academy’s emblem.

As the elevator slowly closed its door, out of nowhere.

“Hmm…!?” Garen immediately opened his eyes and saw a white-haired man walking past him on the red carpet through the gap of the door. He had come out from another elevator from the right.

“That man…” he shivered. That man seemed to be as strong as him. His presence was similar to of a monster and extremely powerful. He gave off a vibe that he was like a nuclear bomb that could explode at any given moment.

In that instant, that white-haired man seemed to have felt his gaze as well. He turned around but unfortunately, he was unable to see Garen inside the elevator as the door had completely shut.

“What was that thing? It didn’t feel like a human…” the sensation was indeed very strange. He narrowed his eyes but he didn’t think of it further as his body was very tired. “I should rest first since the target has already reached the city. Hehe… looks like it’s my time to shine.”
