Chapter 37: The Incident!
However, when Yang Bo returned home, he trembled as he looked at the object in his hand. He could feel the terrifying difference in energy between it and the energy stone he had purchased.
"Damn it." Yang Bo felt his hands and feet trembling.
He charged himself to calm down, forcing himself to stay composed.
"It seems the other party is an ancient organization." Yang Bo judged that the painting was very old.
Then Yang Bo was stumped: "These guys have malicious intentions. I have to be on guard against them, but I was just a resident before. How did I offend them?"
"Could they be assassins?"
"Could it be the genetic drug company behind them? Could it be related to the sudden death of my original host? Maybe all the test subjects died, but I survived?"Yang Bo's mind was racing, and his bold assumptions immediately made sense.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Bo opened the internet to see what was happening at today's Dome Concert.
Sure enough, there was a problem. The exhibition hall of the Dimension Modification Company had suspended its exhibition today due to some minor issues and would resume tomorrow.
What Yang Bo didn't know was that the Dimension Company's senior management was in a panic because the spatial button had been stolen. This item had been stolen from the largest hotel, despite being under the protection of several bodyguards from a top-tier security company.
The supervisor in charge of the button and the bodyguards couldn't recall what had happened.
The company's senior management is at the police station, and the hotel's senior management is also there. Such an incident occurring at the largest hotel would cause major trouble if the news leaked.
"How are we supposed to investigate this case?"
"The hotel won't let us in, and you don't have any surveillance footage. All we can see is the surveillance footage from the public areas outside?"A senior police chief, upon hearing about such a case, already knew how to handle it. In such a high-end hotel, where privacy is highly valued, surveillance cameras couldn't be installed—otherwise, who would stay there?
Moreover, the police chief didn't want to go to such a place to investigate, lest he encounter a superior officer inside... cough cough, his career would be over.
"We can schedule a time." The hotel management gritted their teeth and said.
"What's the point? Your place is full of residents; who remembers who? There are tens of thousands of people coming and going every day." The sergeant was just passing the buck. It's not that we won't investigate; it's just difficult.
The sergeant had some dark thoughts. Dimension Company had made a big splash this time. Maybe some mecha companies weren't happy and sent people to take action. Competitors are enemies; they'd do anything.
The executives of Dimension Company also looked grim. "This spatial button is integrated with the mecha, costing over a hundred billion. If your hotel doesn't provide a reasonable explanation, we'll make the information public."
"Can't we just replace the spatial button?" The hotel executive froze upon hearing this and asked again.
"No, to put it simply, the two energy frequencies are the same. You must know how expensive energy metal is." The Dimension Company's senior management quoted an exorbitant price, but at this point, the other party was a well-known conglomerate in the alliance.
"Impossible, and you have no evidence that it was stolen from our hotel." The hotel's senior management heard this and immediately spoke up.
"You." The Dimension Company executive jumped to his feet in anger. "How dare you be so shameless."
"Our company isn't afraid of lawsuits, and even if we go to court, we're only one-third at fault. Our hotel provides a storage service for items."
"Second, the security company you hired is also responsible."
"Third, if you can't provide evidence, we can sue you for false accusation."
The senior executive of Dimension Company stood up and said, "Since that's the case, there's no need to discuss this further. We'll see you in court."
"Don't forget, the testimony of the security company's employees is also valid," the senior executive of Dimension Company said with a cold smile.
The hotel executive took a deep breath and said, "I need to consult with my superiors."
"Please do so." The Dimension Company executive also sighed in relief, as if this matter were to leak out, his company's reputation would be ruined.
What? Your space button was stolen? Doesn't that mean it would be stolen again if I bought it back?
The hotel executive had no choice but to consult his superiors because the security company had a complicated background. As one of the top security companies in the alliance, it wasn't that simple. In court, the outcome was uncertain, and the security company certainly didn't want to bear the reputation of inadequate security. So who would take the blame?
The employer, Dimension Company, couldn't be held responsible, as they were the employer. Blaming the employer for any issues that arose—like the food not being tasty and blaming the guests' taste, or the movie not being good and blaming the audience's lack of sophistication?
How could that be? Whose responsibility was it? The hotel's, of course.
After browsing the internet, Yang Bo began studying this spatial button, a pure energy stone.
"I wonder if I can absorb this energy stone?" Yang Bo mused to himself. This energy stone contains at least ten billion watts of electricity. If he could absorb it, he wouldn't need to carry batteries when he went out anymore—he could just bring this thing instead.
Gently caressing the energy stone on the spatial button, feeling the terrifying power within, Yang Bo's heart stirred, and he absorbed it.
"It works. I guess I should buy some energy stones as backup, even if they're lower quality." Yang Bo felt the powerful energy within his body and was overjoyed. Now he wouldn't have to worry about carrying batteries anymore.
Feeling the powerful energy within his body, Yang Bo was overjoyed. Energy stones are also made into jewelry, but they are very expensive. Energy stones can be natural or artificial, but solidifying energy and forming a stable structure comes at a great cost. Of course, large energy stones are strategic materials and one of the essential energy sources for warships.
Yang Bo was feeling great, but at that moment, the company sent a message.
"Settlement fees?" Yang Bo muttered to himself, wondering why they were settling fees.
Yang Bo spoke with Liu Zijie and learned that the client had breached the contract, requiring a new contract to be signed and a penalty fee to be paid, or else there would be trouble in the future.
Upon arriving at the exhibition hall, even before approaching it, Yang Bo felt something odd. It seemed as though he sensed the presence of the Blade Mecha, as if there were some inexplicable connection between them?
"Sorry, the Dimension Company exhibition hall is closed, and services here have been suspended," said a manager from the Dome Entertainment City, holding out a contract.
Liu Zhijie was also there and curiously asked, "What happened to Dimension Company?"
"We don't know either. They notified us to close the exhibition hall," the manager said.
Yang Bo's heart skipped a beat. Was Dimension Company colluding with the other party, or had the space button really been stolen?
Liu Zhijie had just asked casually. After the three signed the contract, Liu Zhijie invited Yang Bo, "Let me buy you a drink and discuss your career plans?"
Yang Bo was about to refuse when suddenly, the mecha in the Dimension Company exhibition hall moved, and many people witnessed the scene.
The blue mecha instantly broke through the exhibition hall's glass, and then several figures emerged from the crowd in the distance. These people had golden hair and wore ancient-style clothing.
"Red Earl!" Liu Zhijie saw their flowing golden hair and their attire, and blurted out.
