Chapter 611 The Battle (2/2)

”You people again.”

Carroll did not have any intention of taunting this time and did not glue his eyes to Ames, unlike last time. His expression was calm as if Han Xiao and the others were just passersby.

Ames glanced at him. Although she was unhappy, she could not do anything in Tyrant's territory, so she ignored Carroll.

Just as they were about to pass each other by, Han Xiao suddenly pressed onto Carroll's shoulder and grabbed him tightly like an iron claw.

Puzzled, Carroll turned around and asked, ”What are you doing?”

”I remember that you said before I'm just your replacement?” Han Xiao squinted. ”Since you call yourself my senior, give me some guidance then.”

Carroll's expression changed. He had thought that the previous taunting incident was over, but Han Xiao's sudden action after a few days was unexpected to him.

Ames stopped, also surprised.

”What do you mean? Do you want to fight here? This is Planet Heber!” Carroll said in a slightly threatening manner.

”Don't worry, I just want to spar with you. I want to see how strong the traitor is.” Han Xiao chuckled. ”The Tyrant's subordinate wouldn't not dare accept a challenge, right?”

”I got it. This is Ames' orders, isn't it?” Carroll felt that he had guessed correctly. It had to be because Ames was unhappy about the outcome of what had happened earlier, so she had ordered Black Star to challenge him. If it was just a spar between officers, Heber would not say anything.

Hehe, is she this confident in this new officer of hers?

Carroll's face turned cold and said, ”Okay, I accept your challenge. Hope you don't lose too fast.”

Bloodshed Land was his stage; he could use countless machines. Even if Black Star's name had been loud recently, he did not step back.

Carroll had heard about Ames' new officer. He also wanted to gauge Han Xiao's full strength. He wanted to see what kind of person Ames had found to replace him.

Furthermore, his position was sensitive. He now represented the Tyrant. Since Ames had ordered Black Star to challenge him, he could not back down. Even though Heber could protect him, considering the Tyrant's personality, things would not go well for him if he was afraid of the challenge.

Bloodshed Land despised cowards the most. Someone that was not a battle maniac had no chance of obtaining a high position under the Tyrant.

Han Xiao curled his lips and suddenly said, ”We're both Mechanics, just sparring isn't fun. How about a bet?”

”On what?”

”Let's bet… five sets of machinery blueprints, what do you say? The loser has to give whatever blueprint the winner requests.” Han Xiao smiled wickedly.

Betting blueprints… Carroll frowned heavily. Blueprints were the lifeline of a Mechanic, so Mechanics betting blueprints on was not uncommon.

”Okay.” Carroll nodded.

Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.

There were many factors that had made him suddenly challenge Carroll.

Ames could not battle, but he could. Being high profile to a certain extent and showcasing his abilities was beneficial to increasing his position in this circle. Plus, it could help Ames relieve some anger.

If the Tyrant interfered in a spar between officers, it would be utterly embarrassing.

Secondly, he had been peeking on Carroll for the past few days and roughly knew his strength. Knowing the enemy guaranteed him an edge in the battle. Furthermore, he had noticed that Carroll had a few rather good machines, so he had proposed a bet to win some machinery blueprints.

He would never fight a battle without benefits.

The third and the most important reason was that a new faction mission had appeared on his interface.
