"Do you think the Circuit Breaker would recruit more people into their guild?" said a young man with a look of anticipation on his face.
"Who knows?" His friend responded with the same look of anticipation on his face. "But I hope the Circuit Breaker will recruit more people…. I can't wait to join"
The same conversation could be heard in every corner of the Nightshade town. The shocking defeat of the Vulture gang caused a major upheaval in Nightshade town and the fame of the Free Points shook through the sky.
Now, the Free Points had renamed their name to Circuit Breaker. Various images of the clumsy ugly robot that defeats the four-arm robot were painted in various parts of the town.
To the people, it was no more an ugly robot but a domineering robot. Also, Pablo's fame was forever high.
Previously, he came to Nightshade to wallow in sorrow and perhaps commit suicide. But things didn't go according to his plan.
Now, he was thrown into the storm of robot fighting in Nightshade town and the peaceful life he wanted had disappeared into a thin smoke.
Not that he was complaining, though.
"Now, I can follow after my father's legacy…" He thought out loud.
Pablo stood by the window and looked at the town. The sun shone in the distance and showed the various parts of the town.
Although this town can't compare to the city, he knew this would be his starting point.
'With the system… It's only a matter of time before I return to the city…' He gnashed his teeth as he remembered his shameful exit from the city.
Taking a deep breath to calm his raging emotion. He averted his gaze from the window and looked at his ordinary office.
'Stat'
[Ding]
[Name: Pablo da Fonte]
[Race; Normal Human]
[Talent: Robot inventor Level 1 (Upgradeable +) ]
[Exp: 20/100]
[Robot: Unrank ugly robot]
[Optimization: Quakvolt Robot Sequence (10%)]
[Inventory <>]
[Store <>]
Watching his stat, the corner of his lips curled into a confident smile. 'I only use 10% of the Quakvolt sequence and it had such an effect. What if 50%... It won't be able to withstand a single punch.'
'Perhaps only grade-one robots can withstand its punch.'
'When I can use 100% of the QuakVolt sequence…. I reckon I can defeat all grade-one robots and perhaps some grade-two ones.'
After coming out of his fantasy, he focuses his gaze on his EXP. 'The system is too stingy… It only gives 20 Exp as a reward.'
"Do you know where the others went?" Isadora entered and asked.
Hmm!
Pablo blinked his eyes and recovered from his thoughts and looked at Isadora. "I don't know where they are…" He paused and thought for a moment.
"For the past couple of days, their movement has become unusual."
'Unusual?!'
Isadora shook her head with a bittersweet smile on her face and left the room. She could faintly guess what was going on but she wasn't sure. Thus, she could only wait and see.
Unknown to Pablo, while he was still lost in his fantasy. A dangerous plot was going on behind the scenes.
With their current fame, there was bound to be a lot of eyes on them. Moreover, the last move used by the ugly-looking robot was just too eye-catching and too good to ignore.
In another part of the town, there stood a charming two-story restaurant. The building was made of red brick and had large windows that allowed natural light to flood the interior.
In addition, the restaurant was situated on a corner lot, giving it a commanding presence in the community.
Upon entering the restaurant, patrons were greeted by the sight of a cozy, yet elegant dining room. The walls were adorned with artwork and the tables were set with crisp white linens and gleaming silverware.
Besides, the first floor also had a bar area, where customers could enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine before their meal.
A grand staircase led to the second floor, where a more intimate dining area awaited. The walls were painted a soothing blue color, and the tables were set with candles and fresh flowers.
From the second floor, customers could also enjoy a stunning view of the town.
Sitting among the exquisite table was Cedric with two middle-aged men. They had a pleasing smile on their faces as they tossed to Cedric.
As for Cedric, a proud and confident smile appeared on his face as he received the toss of these two men.
These men were not ordinary men. In the world of Robot boxing and Nightshade Town. Their fame was known by all.
They are the leaders of the famous guild – Power Piston.
Now, the two most important personnel in the Power Piston were tossing at him, how could a person like him not be proud?
It was the greatest honor in his life.
"Although your team is in the limelight right now, it won't be long before it dies off…." One of the middle-aged men said while still smiling.
"Besides, it was not you or your team that was in the limelight. It's Pablo. What if he decided he did not want you on the team, what would you do? Hmm?"
"That's impossible" Cedric refuted immediately.
"You're too naive." The men shook their heads while still maintaining their smiles.
If those old monsters in the business world saw this smile. They'd know their prey had taken the bait.
"Why do you think so?"
"Because I'm one of the founders of the team and without me. The team won't be where they are right now." Cedric said with his chest puffing outward.
"Right…Right. But what do you do? You're their fighter but with the look of things, you never won a single match…" Another middle-aged man said, smiling.
"Let's be blunt with you, you're useless without any value. Without Pablo, you're nothing. A nobody."
Hearing this, Cedric's smile had long disappeared and veins protruded from his forehead. He wanted to refute their claim but found no word to use.
The deep fury and hatred in his heart erupted with his getting bloodshot. He gnashed his teeth and looked at the two and asked.
"What do you want?"
