Reboot: Mechanic

340 Vanessa Ariston

Vanessa’s poised denouncement of Olivia Harrett, cloaked in veiled insult, was like a strategic masterstroke on calligraphy. The gathered onlookers were taken aback, initially stunned by the audacity of her remarks before a wave of laughter erupted, breaking the somber atmosphere. Hearing the laughter from these onlookers, Olivia Harrett was livid. “You have a lot of nerve to humiliate me,” Olivia Harrett turned her attention to Vanessa and said solemnly. “Do you know there are always consequences for those who use the wrong words?”

“Of course, I do. Your commander is the perfect example of suffering the consequences of using the wrong words.” Vanessa chuckled softly.

Olivia Harrett narrowed her eyes coldly when Vanessa had not once, but twice insulted her. Who the hell did she think she was? Not even Theobold dared to utter a single sound as she reprimanded him repeatedly.

So how dare this nobody attempt to humiliate her?

“Someone detained this disrespectful woman right this instant!” Olivia Harrett pointed her finger at Vanessa and quickly commanded. Even if the soldiers present weren’t under her, she knew they wouldn’t dare to disobey her if she asked to detain someone, especially someone so rude toward her. Alas, not a single soldier dared to make a move. Or more like they didn’t dare to make a move without the permission of their commanders. Maybe if Olivia Harrett was the family they were under then they might have listened. Unfortunately for her though, Olivia Harrett only had such power over Damon, who coincidentally was not present in the scene. Damon had long gone back to Gearits City to report the situation to Samuel Harrett regarding the mess he created. And because Olivia Harrett sneakily came to the wilderness, it was natural for Damon to be unaware of her presence here. When Olivia Harrett realized not a single soldier made a move, she was beyond furious. “Do you take my words as empty air?” She turned to the soldiers and asked in anger. “You over there, go and detain her.” “Oh please, detain me?” Vanessa shook her head and laughed in contempt. “Are you even capable of detaining me?” “Hmph, I’m the heir of the Harrett Family, one of the five families that govern Gearits City. Why can’t I detain you?” “Wow, heir of the Harrett Family. That’s quite arrogant of you.” Vanessa snickered coldly. 𝘳𝘦.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Afterward, she discharged her magicule and suppressed Olivia Harrett. “One of the five families, but I’m from Chronosworth City where there’s only one governing family, the Ariston Family. And I’m Vanessa Ariston.” Vanessa then announced, proclaiming her family name in public, sending a wave of shocker to everyone except a few individuals. Some of the individuals included Theobold, who had long investigated Vanessa’s origin. Hence, he had not once dared to truly plot against Vanessa, given Vanessa’s special identity was enough to cause Gearits City to fall. Unlike Gearits City which had many complications in terms of governing and ruling parties, Chronosworth City was more straightforward, having only one powerful family governing it. Vanessa Ariston was the legitimate heir to Chronosworth City, which made her identity and status leagues above Olivia Harrett, who was merely an heir to one of five families ruling parties.

Not to mention, the technological advance and military strength of Chronosworth City were far superior to Gearits City.

And sure enough, Olivia Harrett’s face turned pale upon realizing the identity of Vanessa.

However, she was still unresigned, given that it was just a one-sided argument from Vanessa. Where was the evidence and proof that Vanessa was truly the heir of the Ariston Family? “Hmph, how dare you impersonate someone of the Ariston Family?” Olivia Harrett was unwilling to believe such an important figure would show up here. After all, with such prestigious status and with the vast amount of resources in Chronosworth City, there was no point for their heir to come all the way here.

She was betting on the fact that Vanessa was merely trying to bluff her and make her rethink her decision. Alas, this time, Olivia Harrett had betted on the wrong move. Vanessa was unfazed by Olivia’s disbelief and questioning. Instead, she snickered coldly at the pathetic attempt of Olivia Harrett in trying to smear her.

She subsequently produced a unique token, specially crafted with materials that even the EMP interference caused by Shi Tian’s Spymon couldn’t obstruct. The token emitted a radiant glow, displaying the unmistakable emblem of the Ariston Family, solidifying Vanessa’s claim.

The sudden emergence of this irrefutable symbol of authority silenced the doubters, casting a newfound light on the validity of Vanessa’s identity. The area became hushed, almost as if they were waiting for Olivia’s next move in light of this decisive evidence.

“That’s really the emblem of the Ariston Family.”

“Yeah, and we all know that the token can’t be activated unless you are authorized.” “Heh, this spoiled young lady has finally met her match. The Chronosworth City might be far from Gearits City, but with their strength, it won’t be long for them to arrive here.” Given that the tokens couldn’t be activated unless they were truly from the Ariston Family, it was clear that no one doubted Vanessa’s claim anymore. The onlookers were enjoying the unexpected development, seemingly curious of how much shame Olivia Harrett would bring to herself.

There was not a single person here who thought Olivia Harrett would continue to ask people to detain Vanessa Ariston. That was equivalent to asking for war and incurring the wrath of Chronosworth City. And as spoiled as Olivia Harrett might be, she knew the consequences of her actions today. She was spoiled, arrogant, and haughty, but she wasn’t foolish enough to believe her status could be imposed against someone from another city. Her status was only viable in Gearits City and the citizens living there. Meanwhile, Shi Tian was utterly astonished when he finally got to know Vanessa’s true identity.

All along, he only knew her identity was special, but never this special.

‘Shit, then doesn’t that mean I have offended the authoritative governing family in Chronosworth City?’ Shi Tian was unable to fathom the consequences of the aftermath if they learned of his deeds toward Vanessa.
