Chapter 138 Slogan



Chapter 138 Slogan

When Mary read the kind of slogan that Shi Tian had put up, she truly had the intention of thoroughly beating him up.

Quickly taking the board sign down, Mary glanced back and forth at the people that had read the slogan already. She became slightly nervous when she saw some of them already agitated or provoked by the slogan.

‘Damn it, this is going to be a problem.’ Mary gnashed her teeth in frustration before staring at Shi Tian, who remained confused.

Dragging Nathan to the side, Mary kept her cool and asked, “Are you trying to advertise our new product or make enemies everywhere?”

His slogan- no, it can’t even be counted as a slogan.

It was a blatant provocation to everyone here that risked their lives for money or other reasons.

Not to mention, there are numerous people that have lost their companions here, with some of them being their closest ones.

Once everyone here became agitated and no longer cared about the consequences, they might truly be swarmed and killed.

“Speak, are you trying to get revenge because I kept smacking your head or treating you poorly?” Mary asked, raising her tone slightly.

She then grabbed onto his collar and glared intensely at him. It was clear that she was infuriated by his action which could cause a huge domino effect.

“Does it look like I’m some petty man?” Shi Tian replied back, grabbing her hands that were clutching tightly on his collar.

“Then explain yourself?” Mary then leaned closer, their faces nearly touching.

“If those people truly went mad, then I would have a hard time protecting you. These people might be afraid of our status temporarily, but that doesn’t mean their skills are crap. To be able to arrive here means that each one of them has a trick up their sleeves.” She added, speaking in a very low tone.

Seeing her being so infuriated because she was worried about being unable to protect him, Shi Tian found it quite hilarious.

So she wasn’t mad about him using such a slogan, but mad that he was seemingly courting death.

“What is so funny?” Mary asked angrily once she saw him smiling.

“It’s nothing, just that you don’t seem like a tsundere but somehow starting to act like one.” Shi Tian smiled, gently putting her hands away from his collar.

“Rest assured, Mary. You should know by now that I’m not the type to seek death nor am I the righteous type either. I know my limits, so just watch me.” He added, walking back outside.

Mary was utterly speechless, but couldn’t do much when she heard such a confident tone from him. Even after her warning and reaction, it doesn’t seem like Shi Tian was worried in the slightest.

‘Ugh, is he really that confident or just brainless?’ Mary exclaimed inwardly.

Whatever the case was, Mary had no choice but to send a signal to Gerald to prepare for a big fight in case anything goes amiss.

Once she finished sending the signal, Mary sighed hopelessly, looking at the back of Shi Tian.

“Hopefully, you really know what you’re doing, Nathan. If not, then I will tell Mechanist Isaac to drop you.” She muttered softly.

While Mary was completely worried about the aftermath that the slogan might cause, Shi Tian was filled with confidence.

Of course, it wasn’t unfound confidence or brainless confidence, but something he had decided upon after much thinking.

His slogan might seem like a provocation at first glance, but it was also something that truly hit the core of these people. These people had all lost their companions, and given their agitated reaction, Shi Tian could tell they are still regretting it.

They just simply didn’t wish to divulge it to anyone and kept it to themselves all along, pretending that the incident had never happened.

‘Look at all these people’s expressions. They looked like they had swallowed a mouthful of flies.’ Shi Tian thought to himself, feeling humored by their reaction.

It was just a simple slogan, yet all these people seemed to react as if he had offended their entire generation.

“Whatever, let’s give it a blast.” He muttered. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝙤𝙢

Since he was going to become a decoy, then he might as well fulfill that role to the maximum capacity.

Putting the slogan board signs back up, Shi Tian made sure it was in the clearest view for all to see.

And sure enough, this time, the people that didn’t get a clear look earlier because of how fast Mary had taken it down, were now furious.

“Kiddo, do you not want to live any longer?”

“Don’t think that you can hide behind the reserved area and believe yourself to be safe!”

“The wilderness isn’t something a greenhorn brat like you can swagger around.”

“If you admit that this slogan was just some rash action, then we can forget about it.”

Instantly, the crowd was agitated and started to warn Shi Tian of his action.

Despite being furious, they still weren’t blinded by it and attempted to attack Shi Tian.

At the end of the day, Shi Tian was affiliated with the people in the reserved area, so as long as he was willing to apologize for the offense, then they shall let it go.

All eyes were now locked on Shi Tian, seemingly waiting for his response.

Facing such tremendous crowd pressure, Shi Tian remained calm and composed. Taking a step forward, Shi Tian snickered coldly as he glanced at the four people that had shouted those words.

“You, you, you, and you. All four of you must have been the idiots that lost your companions, right?” Shi Tian pointed at each one of them and smirked.

“What the hell did you just say??!!” The four people that were called out all simultaneously shouted in fury, taking out their weapons as they were ready to kill Shi Tian.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize not only did you lose your companions like an idiot, but you’re also deaf at the same time. No wonder why you lost your companions.” Shi Tian flashed a sympathetic expression.
