"Sir, are you going to take apart this Cadillac?"

Old Jack was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

If he remembered correctly, this was an out-of-production Cadillac V16, a treasure among treasures.

Was this customer insane?

"Yes, take it apart!"

Rorschach told Old Jack in an irrefutable tone, "After that, reassemble it. Old Jack, you're the most skilled craftsman, this shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"Of course, it's no problem, but sir, why do you want to take it apart? Is something wrong with the car? Let me, Old Jack, inspect it first! There's no need to dismantle it."

"You don't need to worry about that. I told you to take it apart, so just take it apart. I'll pay every cent."

"It's not about the money."

Old Jack hesitated. He was even starting to suspect if Rorschach's Cadillac was stolen.

Then, he planned to break it down here and spirit it away quietly?

This could be a huge problem.

"Ryan..." Old Jack turned his gaze to his boss.

Ryan also clearly hesitated, as Rorschach's request was too bizarre.

After a moment of thought, Ryan decided not to get involved in this mess.

"I'm sorry, sir, perhaps you could try another repair shop?" Ryan said to Rorschach.

"Are you saying you want me to make a wasted trip?" Rorschach deliberately put on a stern face.

"No, no, sir, I absolutely didn't mean that." Ryan quickly waved his hands, trying to explain to Rorschach, "I just..."

Rorschach, however, couldn't be bothered to waste any more words with Ryan. He turned around, hugged the Cadillac with both arms, and lifted it straight up.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Like a steamroller approaching, he walked step by step towards the repair shop, directly "throwing" the Cadillac in front of Ryan and Old Jack.

"G-God!"

"What am I seeing?"

Ryan, Old Jack, and the other people at the repair shop looked at the unbelievable scene before them, trembling as if they had seen a ghost.

They almost wet themselves.

Easily lifting a car, was this even human?

"I'm in a hurry, get to work!" Rorschach said, clapping his hands at Old Jack.

"F-First, sir, please wait a moment, I-I'll start right away..." Old Jack was so scared he was about to wet himself, how could he dare to utter another word?

He immediately picked up his tools, ready to start working.

But at this very moment.

Crank, crank, crank!

Crank, crank, crank!

The Cadillac, which had been lying peacefully on the ground, suddenly began to move!

All parts of the car started to split and assemble frantically.

Amidst the dense and ear-piercing sound of metal friction, modules and components continuously shifted and pieced together.

In the blink of an eye, the original Cadillac disappeared, and a giant robot, about five or six meters tall, appeared before everyone.

"Little bug, why must you court death?"

The robot looked down at Rorschach from above, speaking in a very displeased tone.

"Whoa, a Transformer?"

Rorschach was completely dumbfounded. He had to admit, this scene caught him completely off guard.

He never imagined that in this world, in this era, he would encounter a Transformer!

So the "Special Energy Source" the System mentioned wasn't something hidden inside the car, but the car itself was the Special Energy Source!

No wonder.

He had checked so many times and found nothing.

"Little bug, do you want to die? I'll smash you into a pulp!"

The Transformer's angry voice rang out.

Even though this thing didn't have the rich facial expressions of humans, Rorschach could still clearly feel its rage.

"Oddity!"

"Aliens are here!"

"Jesus Christ!"

Gasps of surprise erupted suddenly.

Old Jack, Ryan, and the others nearly had their eyeballs pop out, staring in disbelief at the colossal figure before them, exclaiming repeatedly.

"What a bunch of annoying insects, so noisy!"

The Transformer's voice was impatient as it swung its enormous arm, sweeping it towards Old Jack and his companions.

It was like casually swatting away annoying flies.

One had to admit, this Transformer was quite violent.

Judging by its temper, Rorschach guessed it was likely a Decepticon; Autobots weren't like this.

Hiss!

Old Jack and the others sucked in a collective breath, their faces drained of color, frozen in place, forgetting even to run.

This was a natural state humans entered when facing immense fear.

Colloquially known as being scared stiff.

Whoosh!

But at that very moment, Old Jack and his companions felt their vision blur. Rorschach flickered, like a phantom, and instantly stood in front of Old Jack.

With one hand, he blocked the Decepticon's fist.

Clang!

A dull metallic sound echoed as the Decepticon's fist froze right in front of Rorschach.

It was as if a pause button had been pressed, unable to advance even an inch.

The air in the vicinity seemed to congeal.

Old Jack, Ryan, and the others trembled, utterly unable to believe what they were seeing.

This young man had actually blocked the giant robot's attack?

One was five to six meters tall, the other only one to two meters. One's fist was bigger than the other's head, creating an extremely stark visual contrast, an immense disparity.

Yet, the young man had blocked the giant robot!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.

"Aren't you going to leave? Waiting for New Year's?"

It wasn't until Rorschach's voice rang out that Old Jack and the others snapped back to reality, scrambling to run to the side.

"This is impossible!"

The Decepticon's shocked voice rang out, filled with disbelief, "Humans cannot possess such power!"

"Is it too early to be surprised?"

Rorschach let out a cold laugh, stomping his feet on the ground. He shot towards the Decepticon's head like a cannonball.

Bang! A punch landed directly on the Decepticon's face.

Boom!

With one punch, the Decepticon was sent tumbling over like it had been hit by a meteorite from outer space.

Its massive body slammed heavily onto the ground.

The entire earth shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Gulp!

Old Jack and the others, who were rapidly retreating to safety, saw this and could only swallow hard, completely dumbfounded.
