Chapter 39 Smith continued to look at the robot opposite him. With one look, he could tell that the robot have great power and even thought that the robot might be able to win against him. Indeed, Smith did not want to be arrogant. He clearly knew that there is a great chance that he would not be able to win. However, there is a thing that drives him to fight. And that is the… Energy Units. “Before the match starts, have you all placed your bets?” The announcer asked loudly as he starts the match between Smith and the Robot Lord. “YES!” Meanwhile, there is no need for the announcer to worry about the bets of the crowd. The bets are already in the box. “Hehe… in that case. From the red corner, we have Scarlet Metal. And from the blue corner, we have the Robot Lord.” “Let’s get ready to rumble!” Ding! After the dinging sound, the fight officially started. However, both Smith and the Robot Lord did not do a thing and only stared at each other. But despite that, the spectator d
Chapter 40While Smith was thinking about his power, time did not wait for him. It continued to flow. Fortunately, it did not take him long to wake up from his state.“For the next round, we will have Scarlet Metal from the blue corner.”The announcer declared, which garnered the cheers of the crowd.Smith will be fighting in the same ring but with a different opponent. Most spectators are the same, with only a few percent added. Or they could even be the replacement for the ones that have left the Arena begrudgingly.“From the red corner, we have The Carpenter!”The moment that Smith looked at his opponent, he knew that the announcer of the Arena was not lying.His opponent's right hand is replaced with a saw, while the left hand is replaced with a mallet.The Carpenter is indeed a carpenter. However, The Carpenter is not made for construction or for carpentry. Well, depending on how you define carpentry.If carpentry means hammering people to their death or chopping their heads off
Chapter 41“Fight!”“Fight!”“Fight!”The Carpenter is sprinting towards him at a fast speed. However, Smith only stood there like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.But the thing that happened next bewildered the spectators.Clang! Thud!“What?”“How did it happen?”The hyped spectators turned into wet chicks, silenced, and did not know what happened.Before The Carpenter could even reach Smith, The Carpenter fell to the ground limply. Its metallic body caused a loud metallic sound.The sound is not supposed to be loud. However, the act was too obvious. Not only did it cause the crowd's bewilderment, but it also caused a deafening silence in that part of the Arena.“What is that?”“Cheating?”“Magic?”Meanwhile, amidst the bewilderment of the crowd, Smith stood still. However, when he got impatient, he spoke.“Announcer, are you not going to say anything?”Smith’s voice is not typically loud or anything. However, they echoed in the ears of the crowd, including the announcer.“Yes… wi…
Chapter 42At first, the movement of The Carpenter is not rigorous. However, after a brief few seconds, The Carpenter stood and also dashed towards Robot Johnny.“What the hell?”Not only the crowd of spectators but also the announcer and Benson the butler and the young master duo.“Uncle Benson, tell me, are my eyes lying?” the young master could not help but stand as he asked.“Young master, I think Scarlet Metal hacked into the system of The Carpenter.”That is the only explanation that Benson could think of. However, that is also the most plausible one.But if that is really the case, then…“That Scarlet Metal is one hell scary robot.”The young master complimented.“Indeed, young master. But perhaps, we can use him.”“Use him? No, uncle…”As the youth heard the words of his butler, he immediately disagreed.“Scarlet Metal is not a good enemy and may also be not a good ally.”What a good ideology. However, the butler did not really get it. And seeing that the butler did not unders
Chapter 43 The Carpenter kept receiving damage from Robot Johnny. However, Smith did not bat an eye on The Carpenter’s damage. Aside from keeping his distance, Smith kept all his attention on hacking Robot Johnny. Indeed, it is not as what the spectators thought that Smith could not hack into Robot Johnny. Instead, it is because as Smith studied Robot Johnny, he found a way to hack into Robot Johnny. Thud! Bang! Meanwhile, the aggressive Robot Johnny was hit by The Carpenter’s mallet at this moment, which made the crowd stand. “What?” Some rubbed their eyes while others blinked several times because that should not have happened. Just a while ago, Robot Johnny was toying with The Carpenter like a dog. But now, the tables have turned. The one holding the leash is about to be leashed instead. “How did it happen?” “No, it can’t be.” “Announcer, that must be cheating! Do something.” However, just like them, the announcer is also helpless. Although he had a bit of power in the r
Chapter 44Captain Nolan is the one in charge of this operation.He did not really know what he was here for. However, he received a command that he would have to assist one of the military generals to recover something.Then, when they arrived, the general he was assisting told him to bomb the place while the general disappeared. Captain Nolan did not know where the general he was assisting was.However, orders are orders. And since he is commanded to bomb this place, Captain Nolan did not have a choice but to do so, albeit hard for him.He could not bear to see the innocent people dying in the command that was given to him. Unfortunately, a command is a command. Or rather, he did not have the guts to disobey his superiors.But on the second thought, the people in the place might not be innocent in any case.They are the people who would love to see blood for sport. And if possible, they would also take lives for fun.“There is nothing to worry about. These people are all scumbags,” c
Chapter 45Bang! Bang! Bang! Bratatatat! Bratatatat!Bratatatat!The sound of gunfire resonated in the air as Smith was being shot by at least fifteen squadrons with their B-grade classic guns and plasma guns.B-grade might not be the best equipment out there. However, that is enough for the other people to stare at them with envy.B-graded weapons are not common commodities in this world. True, the protagonist and most of his opponents are using B-grade guns. But that is only because they are beyond the levels of the common folks.Meanwhile, while being shot, Smith did nothing to defend himself. Instead, he let their bullets hit him with open arms as if they there the finest blessing he had ever received in his life.“Are you done?”After a while, the firing stopped as the squadrons realized something.“What metal are you made off?”That is the only question they had as they stared at Smith with dread and fear.They knew that if they could not damage Smith’s shell, they would not be
Chapter 46 “What?” Captain Nolan did not know if he had misheard it or not. “How could that be?” Captain Nolan asked. However, when the staff answered, his shock increased. At the same time, part of him regretted asking. “One of our Fighter Vs has fallen.” “Do you have an idea who destroyed it?” Captain Nolan asked. But he is not expecting an answer to his question. His instincts are warning him that it was someone powerful who attacked. “We don’t know anything, sir.” “Is the one that killed all the fifteen squadrons the same or not?” Captain Nolan asked again. He is rather annoying and forceful at the same time. Fortunately, the staff did not think so. Well, even though he wanted to think so, he could not do anything since he was many ranks lower than captain Nolan. At the same time, he did not really think that captain Nolan was a bother. “No, sir. But, they might be from the same organization,” the staff answered. Meanwhile, it did not take long for captain Nolan to find
