"Go home. Pretend you didn't see anything!"
After giving them that final warning, Chen Mo did not bother to see whether they had taken it to heart. He turned and climbed into the battered old Chevrolet, then drove away.
Although Chen Mo was driving such an old clunker, neither Sam nor Michaela felt the slightest contempt for him. As the car passed them, they watched Chen Mo's stern profile through the window, and an intense sense of admiration rose within them instead.
Although Chen Mo had not said it outright, based on his earlier actions and attitude toward them, coupled with the kinds of plots they had seen in movies, it was easy for them to guess his identity.
Immense strength, powerful high-tech equipment, destroying brutal and evil alien Iron Giants, protecting civilians—taking all of that together, they had already decided that Chen Mo was either a Super Hero hidden among ordinary people, possessing formidable power and technological prowess, or someone from an ancient, mysterious secret organization operating behind the scenes with the mission of protecting Earth!
This was what a true powerhouse was like. Even if he drove a battered four-thousand-dollar used car, people could not help but respect him. Compared to the wealthy, handsome persona from yesterday, with luxury cars and money to burn, Chen Mo now stood far taller in their hearts!
Chen Mo paid no attention to their burning gazes. Driving Bumblebee, whose identity had remained undisclosed, he left the abandoned factory. As he passed the Porsche sports car Sam had parked against the wall, his sharp eyes clearly caught a silver figure flashing across the car before vanishing.
A meaningful smile curved Chen Mo's lips, but he did not stop. As though he had seen nothing, he calmly drove Bumblebee past at high speed.
