Reboot: Mechanic

305  Bullet Lodged

Vanessa thought she was able to kick Shi Tian while he was down. But little did she expect it to backfired harshly and got insulted in the process.

"Huh? Shouldn't you be reprimanding him for being such a vile person?" Vanessa was shocked and pointed her finger at Shi Tian, clearly still wanting to blame it on him.

Alas, Mary merely rolled her eyes in response.

"You weren't forced, and it's clear the deal was a hoax in the first place. Yet you didn't think of that and gave in to his demand. Who could you blame other than yourself for being dumb?" Mary snickered coldly. Ignoring the dumbfounded Vanessa, Mary then turned her attention to Shi Tian.

"You have two options now, Nathan. You either pay for the treatment or I can make your injuries worse to the point that you would want to scream like a little girl." Mary smiled brightly and gave him two options.

Though the two options were clearly disadvantages to him, the latter being the worst one.

Am I being extorted? That was the question lingering in Shi Tian's mind right now. What Mary was doing was seemingly no different than what he had done to Vanessa in the past.

No wonder there was a saying that karma would always find its way to the correct person. It might take days, weeks, months, or even years, but they would never fail to find them.

"How much are you going to charge me?" Shi Tian felt immense heartache as he enquired about the cost of it. Nothing hurts more than having to pay more than the actual cost of an item. "Charge him a high price!" Vanessa suddenly echoed from behind, seemingly recovered from her initial shock by Mary's reprimand. She was practically cheering for Shi Tian's demise. However, to both Shi Tian and Vanessa's shock, Mary's next words made one person very happy whereas the other was very gloomy. "Don't worry about the price. Vanessa will pay on your behalf since she's so enthusiastic." Mary smiled brightly and exclaimed. "You're the best, Mary." Shi Tian hurriedly gave a thumbs up for her majestic and grand demeanor that no one could match up to.

"What the hell?" Vanessa was far from happy as she was about to throw a fit. "Why should I pay for his treatment?" "Because he got injured at the end of the day thanks to your careless self." Mary sneered coldly. "Were it not for you carrying a GPS item, letting the enemies track us down constantly. Then why would he be injured in the first place? Not to mention, it was thanks to Nathan that we realized we were being tracked." She added, shooting Vanessa down with each reason given.

All of them were concise without any way to defend or deny them, prompting Vanessa to go from cheerful to depressed mode rather quickly.

As Vanessa started sulking from the side, Mary no longer paid attention to her and told Shi Tian to move slightly to the side, so she could start pouring the isopropyl alcohol on the wounds.

Although Mary did not understand how Shi Tian was unaffected, it was clear that his outer body was still suffering from the aftermath. Thus he was bleeding profusely, and it was not because of his wounds being agitated.

There are no such things as his wounds suddenly becoming agitated unless something had occurred within the body or outside the body.

"Wait a minute, Nathan. Are you serious?" Mary's alarmed tone was sudden and unexpected.

"W-What's the matter, Mary?" Shi Tian tried to turn around and asked.

Meanwhile, Mary ignored Shi Tian and turned her attention to the sulking Vanessa. "Stop sulking over there and come look at this. Can you believe him?" Mary shouted, acting as if she was the mother and Vanessa was the child throwing a tantrum. Confused, Vanessa stopped her sulking behavior and walked toward Mary. And the moment her eyes laid on the spot that Mary was indicating, she was twitching her mouth in disbelief. "How the hell…" She wanted to curse but realized it was pointless.

"Just what is it?" The confused Shi Tian asked, clearly not knowing the discovery they had made.

"Shut up, Nathan." Mary scolded harshly. "You've said you treated your injuries, so why are there still bullets in your body?" She raised her tone and shouted agitatedly. It was clear that she was beyond furious at how careless Shi Tian could be.

"There is?" Shi Tian raised an eyebrow, seemingly in a daze. He knew he was riddled with bullets, but it was also true that he thought all the bullets were taken out. After all, he didn't feel much discomfort or any abnormalities. "Enough of your act and go lie down. I'll need to examine your wounds and see how poorly you have done." Mary ordered coldly. Based on her tone and actions, even Vanessa knew Mary was trying to calm down while assisting Shi Tian.

At the same time, Vanessa was astonished by how clueless Shi Tian was. It didn't match his character at all for not realizing such a thing. Who in their right mind would not know if a bullet was still within their body?

However, the evidence was presented right in their face, and Shi Tian was truly clueless and didn't even seem bothered by it.

A few seconds later, Shi Tian lay on the floor with his stomach facing it, showing his back directly to Mary.

While lying down, Shi Tian was pondering over the possibility of how he was clueless. 'Is it because my pain tolerance was high enough that I didn't realize it?' If Mary hadn't said anything, then the bullet would most likely remain lodged in his body for who knows how long.

Just imagining the scenery of that occurring caused Shi Tian to feel a chill.

"Um… I really didn't know about it, Mary." Shi Tian tried to clarify, hoping that she would understand it was an honest mistake.

"Shut up!" Mary snorted coldly. "Once I take out the bullets, we'll then deal with your body condition." 'But what about the dense area filled with strange energy?' Shi Tian wanted to say those words aloud but knew if he did, then he would most likely get screwed over.
