Incident!

Incident!

When Yang Bo returned home, he trembled as he looked at the item in his hand. He could truly feel the terrifying difference in energy between it and the Energy Stones he had bought.

"Damn it." Yang Bo's hands and feet were shaking.

He recharged himself to calm down, forcing himself to remain composed.

"Looks like they're a very ancient organization." Yang Bo judged that the painting was extremely old.

Then Yang Bo's head began to ache. "Those guys didn't look friendly. If they're targeting me, I have to be on guard. But my former self was just an ordinary resident. How did he offend people like that?"

"Assassins?"

"Could it be the Gene Serum Company behind it? It might be related to the sudden death of this body's original owner. Maybe an entire batch of test subjects died, but I didn't?" Yang Bo's mind was working quickly now. With a bold assumption, many things immediately made sense.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Bo opened the internet to see what had happened at today's Dome Concert.

Sure enough, something had happened. The Dimensional Modification Company's exhibition hall had suspended its displays today. They claimed that a few minor issues had arisen and that the exhibition would resume tomorrow.

What Yang Bo did not know was that the Dimensional Modification Company's high-level officials were stomping mad. The Space Button had been stolen. It had vanished from the largest hotel despite being guarded by several bodyguards from a powerful Security Company.

The Supervisor responsible for safeguarding the button, along with the bodyguards, could not remember what had happened.

The company's high-level officials were at the Police Station, along with the hotel's high-level officials. For something like this to happen at the largest hotel would be a huge problem if the news got out.

"How are we supposed to investigate this?"

"The hotel won't let us enter, and you don't have surveillance footage. All we can view is the footage from the public areas outside?" The moment a Senior Police Chief heard about the case, he already knew how to handle it. Super hotels like this valued privacy immensely. Of course they could not install surveillance cameras everywhere—who would stay there otherwise? Besides, the police chief did not want to inspect a place like that. What if he ran into one of his superiors inside... Ahem. His career would be over.

"You can schedule a time." The hotel's high-level official gritted his teeth.

"What good would that do? Everyone there is a resident. Who remembers whom? More than ten thousand people come and go from your place every day." The police chief was engaging in shuai guo. It was not that they would not investigate; there were simply difficulties.

The police chief also had a darker thought. The Dimensional Modification Company had attracted far too much attention this time. Perhaps some mecha companies had been dissatisfied and sent people to act. Fellow Traders were rivals—what wouldn't they do?

The Dimensional Modification Company's high-level officials looked grim as well. "This Space Button is integrated with the mecha. Its cost exceeds ten billion. If your hotel cannot provide us with a reasonable explanation, we will make this public."

"Is there no way to replace the Space Button?" The hotel's high-level official went numb at those words and asked again.

"No. To put it simply, the two energy frequencies have to match. You know how expensive Energy Metal is." The Dimensional Modification Company's quotation was somewhat exaggerated, but at a time like this, the other party was a famous Alliance conglomerate.

"Impossible. Besides, you have no proof that it was stolen at our hotel." The hotel's high-level official spoke directly.

"You!" The Dimensional Modification Company's high-level official instantly leaped to his feet. Damn it, how could they be this shameless?

"Our company isn't afraid of lawsuits. Even if it goes to court, we're only one-third responsible. Our hotel provides an item-storage service."

"Second, the Security Company you hired bears responsibility as well."

"Third, if you cannot produce evidence, we can sue you for false accusations."

The Dimensional Modification Company's high-level official stood up and said, "Then there's no need to continue this discussion. See you in court."

"Don't forget, the testimony of the Security Company's personnel is valid as well." The Dimensional Modification Company's high-level official sneered.

The hotel's high-level official took a deep breath. "I need to request instructions."

"Please do." The Dimensional Modification Company's high-level official also breathed a sigh of relief, because if this matter leaked out, his company's reputation would be ruined.

What? Your Space Button was stolen? Wouldn't that mean anything I bought from you could be stolen too? What the hotel's high-level officials had to seek instructions about was that the Security Company had an extraordinary background. As one of the Alliance's top Security Companies, it was definitely not simple. The outcome in court might not be certain. The Security Company certainly did not want to bear the disgrace of inadequate security, so who would take the blame?

It could not be the Client, the Dimensional Modification Company, because they were the Client. If something happened and you pushed the responsibility onto the Client, that would be like blaming a customer's taste because your food tasted bad, or blaming the audience for lacking standards because your movie was terrible. How could that be possible? Whose responsibility was it? The hotel's, of course.

After browsing the internet, Yang Bo began studying the Space Button again, along with the pure Energy Stone.

I wonder if I can absorb the Energy Stone? Yang Bo muttered to himself. This Energy Stone contained at least one billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. If he could absorb it, then he would not need to carry batteries whenever he went out in the future. He could simply carry one of these.

He gently stroked the Energy Stone on the Space Button, sensing the terrifying power within it. Yang Bo's heart stirred. Absorb.

"It works. Looks like I should buy some Energy Stones to keep in reserve, even if they're lower quality." Feeling the powerful energy in his body, Yang Bo was ecstatic. This way, he would not have to worry about carrying batteries in the future.

Feeling the powerful energy inside him, Yang Bo was delighted. Energy Stones were even made into accessories because they were so expensive. There were natural and artificial Energy Stones. Solidifying energy and forming it into a stable structure came at an enormous cost. Of course, large Energy Stones were strategic resources and one of the essential energy sources for warships.

Yang Bo was feeling pleased when his company sent him a message.

"Settling the payment?" Yang Bo muttered to himself. Why were they settling the payment now?

Only after speaking with Liu Zhijie did Yang Bo learn that the Client had breached the contract. They needed to sign an agreement and pay compensation for the breach, or there would be trouble later.

When he arrived at the exhibition hall, before he even got close, Yang Bo felt something strange. It was as though he sensed the Blade Mecha, as though it had some inexplicable connection with him.

"Sorry, the Dimensional Modification Company exhibition hall is closed. Services here have been suspended." A Supervisor from Dome Entertainment City produced a contract.

Liu Zhijie was there as well. He asked curiously, "What happened to the Dimensional Modification Company?"

"We don't know either. They notified us that the exhibition hall would be closed," the Supervisor said.

Yang Bo's heart stirred. Had the Dimensional Modification Company colluded with them, or had the Space Button truly been stolen? Liu Zhijie had only asked casually. After the three of them signed the contract, Liu Zhijie invited Yang Bo. "Let me buy you a drink. We can also talk about your career plans."

Yang Bo was about to refuse when the mecha inside the Dimensional Modification Company's exhibition hall suddenly moved. Quite a few people saw it.

The Blue Mecha instantly smashed through the exhibition hall's glass. Then several figures charged out from the distant crowd. They had Golden Hair and wore ancient clothing.

"Red Earl!" Liu Zhijie blurted out when he saw their flowing Golden Hair and their attire.
