Chapter 37
"Never mind. Let them have it their way… hehe. It's not like they could bypass my barrier."
Grizzly has full trust in his barrier.
Well, he did not have anything else to put his trust into. He cannot trust his three companions named Mate, Nate, and Grey, right?
Well, of course, who would trust the dead? Dead men tell no tale. At the same time, they would not be able to do anything.
Not unless they become undead. However, is that really possible?
Well, who knows…? Perhaps…
And with that thought, Grizzly took out his Sniper B927 and aimed it at the ship. Then, after a split second, he shot a classic bullet toward the ship.
BOOM!
The damage isn't supposed to be great. However, Grizzly did a great calculation and hit the vital part on the ship.
That part is where the weak point of the ship lies. If that is broken, the ship will follow along
However, don't get it wrong. The ship is not vulnerable as you think. It's just that Grizzly's classic bullet is not to be reckoned with. Especially since it had received a boost from the barrier.
"Hmm, this barrier is indeed very useful," Grizzly thought to himself while looming a wide smile on his face.
Not only could it protect him, but it could also boost his attacks. If you do not call that useful, then nothing will be useful.
Meanwhile, the ship where Crazy Eye Dona and Midnight Michelle exploded.
And when that happened, Grizzly squinted his eyes as he tried to see whether the three ladies were dead. But to his disappointment, they were not.
They came out in the explosion with a barrier protecting them.
Fortunately, their barrier is up to no God as it was filled with cracks, undoubtedly it was from the explosion that Grizzly caused.
"What a lousy barrier," Grizzly commented as he saw their barrier.
Compared to his barrier, theirs was not any different than a paper.
Meanwhile, none among the three ladies is fazed.
Instead, Claire, the lady other than Crazy Eye Dona and Midnight Michelle, is smiling.
"You could only say that because something is supporting you. Say, was it from the organization where you belong to?"
Bullseye!
Grizzly cannot retort what Claire said.
However, Claire is not yet done.
"Now that I see it, I could not help, but wonder if that barrier is yours. Or perhaps, it is the other way around… you belong to the barrier."
This time, not only is Grizzly unable to retort, but he could not think of anything at all. He wanted to say something, but it was as if no word would come out of his mouth.
"Hehe, now. If you don't want to hear more of those painful words, hear us out. We have lost too much because of you."
With that, Grizzly was completely silenced. However, he is staring daggers at them. And if stares could kill, the three ladies would have long been dead.
"What is this robot to you?" Claire asked as she showed Meta's picture.
Meanwhile, Grizzly did not speak as he hesitated for a while.
"He… I want to kill that scrap metal."
With that, Grizzly said it with a bitter voice.
There is no need to ask further. Claire and the other two ladies could tell that he indeed hated Meta.
"Hah! You should have said it sooner. We should have avoided this disaster."
Indeed, if only Grizzly did not shoot back them.
However, Grizzly might not really be at fault since he was 'frightened.'
"Indeed. But if you want me to find where he was, I will tell you beforehand that I don't know where he was and how to find him."
Indeed, even with the help of Grizzly's barrier, he could not tell where Smith was. All he knows is that Smith flew in some direction to the north. And as to where is his real destination… who knows?
"I don't know if we should trust you, or not. However, there is no need for that. We have ways on how to locate him."
Of course, Claire did not come unprepared.
One must remember that Meta, the robotic model Smith uses as an avatar in the real world, is a product of Apollo Tech. And one must also not forget that as punishment, the Apollo Tech banished Claire from the office and sent her on the field to observe Smith from afar.
Well, the initial mission is to observe, however… Claire did not really care at all.
"And… how is that?" Grizzly asked. He wanted to fill his curiosity.
When Claire heard that, he could not help but grin slightly.
She then took out a small device the size of a pinky and showed it to Grizzly.
"Did you know? The scrap Meta is one of the models of the Apollo Tech. It was theirs in the first place. Hence, it is only normal that they have a way to locate it."
Even with that said, Claire is still smiling.
"This little thing will do all the work for us. However, we cannot use it at all times. Not unless we are sure that we can take the scrap metal down, for sure."
Hearing that, Grizzly remained silent as he waited for an explanation.
"Meta is sensitive to foreign signals."
That is the only explanation. And as of now, Claire and the ladies did not know how to properly utilize it.
Meanwhile, after the explanation, Claire and the two ladies looked at Grizzly intently while grinning.
"Now that we have told you so much, perhaps you could answer some of our questions."
As Grizzly heard that, he could not help but curse inwardly. "Shit! I kinda expected this."
He remained silent for a while as he waited if the three ladies to let this pass.
Unfortunately for him, as he remained silent, the ladies also remained silent as if they were playing a game where the first one to speak loses.
