Chapter 315 Showdown

Shi Tian was completely astonished when he realized Mary was acting from the very beginning, and she had even made some planning beforehand.

He was truly bewildered and realized he was not the only one who had something cooked up in mind.

"I was indeed fascinated by the FTAV Mark X vehicle when I first saw it, but it's also true that I utilized it as an opportunity to plan a spyware." Mary smiled cheekily.

Since she was indeed a fanatic, it simply made her acting even more perfect.

Given that it wasn't an act but her real emotion. Such real emotion could not be faked, which essentially lowered Theobold's guard and failed to detect her sneaky action.

"Unbelievable.." Shi Tian twitched his mouth in disbelief. historical

"Not that unbelievable, Nathan." Mary shrugged her shoulders.

She then turned around and pointed at Vanessa. "Look at her for example. She's naive but also clever in some aspects. Hence, she was able to deceive us without being detected at all."

"Hey, that's kind of rude of you!" Vanessa crossed her arms and responded.

Feeling that her response still wasn't enough, Vanessa continued, "Even if it's true, did you really have to word it like that?"

"You see what I mean?" Mary turned back to Shi Tian and gestured her hand to tell him to look at Vanessa clearly.

Vanessa herself literally admitted to being naive without realizing it herself.

Seeing it personally, Shi Tian had no choice but to admit it was indeed true. People are surely fascinating one after another, especially with how their mind works.

A tacit understanding was created between Shi Tian and Mary, with Vanessa remaining ignorant, clearly unable to understand their point.

And Mary had no plans on clarifying for her anyway as she continued to discuss with Shi Tian.

"The few days, I've been monitoring Theobold's tent through his parked FTAV Mark V, and I can tell the other military commanders are already beginning to work swiftly," Mary explained.

"Took them long enough." Shi Tian smirked coldly. When he posted the video, he didn't bother to conceal anything.

However, that doesn't mean he wanted to let some random folks in as well. He wanted capable people– people who could use the environmental details to determine the time and location of the video.

"I would have been flabbergasted if they still failed to meet my expectations." Shi Tian rubbed his chin and said.

"I'm sure the one that's working behind the scenes now is Nancy. She's a frightening foe, but that doesn't mean we have to confront her. Our goal is partially aligned for now, with Theobold being the main target." Mary zoomed in on the camera angle and laughed coldly.

Time slowly passed by, and they were now enjoying a fascinating drama.

"Oh look, that should be Damon." Mary pointed at the newly arrived figure. "I've researched some data on him before, and although there was information that was secured tightly, he has some tension with Theobold."

"Tension with Theobold huh? It looks like Theobold isn't going to have a good time then."

As the trio watched silently, waiting for the scenery to unfold, in the live scene at the camp, Damon stood tall and exuded a confident aura.

"Theobold, get your ass out of your tent," Damon demanded, his soldiers also shouted right after Damon, albeit having addressed Theobold as commander in contrast to Damon calling his name directly.

A few seconds later, Theobold came out of his tent with a deadpan expression.

Having seen a video that was sent to him anonymously, Theobold could subtly guess Damon's goal for coming here.

"What do you want, Damon?" Feigning an ignorant act, Theobold crossed his arms and asked coolly.

"Oh, stop the ignorance act, Theobold." Damon flashed a cold smile as he snapped his fingers, prompting a soldier behind him to hand him some files.

Grabbing the files, Damon made a slight glance, ensuring the other spectators were watching, scrutinizing this scene. His soldiers were also recording this scene live, transmitting it back to all the citizens in Gearits City.

Damon's goal was simple. He wanted Theobold's reputation to be completely tarnished today.

'Seems like they are out to get me this time.' Theobold thought to himself. With his keen perspectives, how could he not see what Damon was pulling?

"So are those files something about me?" Theobold smirked and asked.

"Of course, they're evidence of you abusing your authority." Damon snorted coldly, throwing the files into the air.

"Abusing my authority?" Theobold raised an eyebrow, grabbing one of the papers that was coming down from the air.

"Do you mean this accusation?" He then asked and continued, "Accusing me of fabricating a recording and committing traitorous acts despite the impending danger in the monster wave?"

"What else? There's also a recording of you splitting your elite platoon to a faraway place." Damon crossed his arms, raising his tone purposely. The more attention they garnered, the more likely Theobold was going to be ruined tonight.

Humans are such hilarious beings. They might not know the details, but if they heard multiple people clamoring and chattering about one specific thing, then a biased view would be established.

Once a biased view was created, it would be extremely difficult for the accused to escape unscathed, even if they were proven innocent in the end.

The damage to reputation would have been done already.

Of course, Damon didn't plan on banking on this to actually ruin Theobold. Otherwise, he wouldn't have struggled for so many years.

However, he could at least put a dent in his hard-earned reputation, and that was enough for him to feel satisfied.

Everyone in the crowd was waiting for the scene to unfold, seemingly anticipating what Theobold's response would be.

"Hahaha, you've caught me, alright." Theobold suddenly laughed heartily, surprising everyone in the crowd, including Damon.

"I didn't realize you were so obsessed with me that you have to inspect every one of my actions. Had you told me earlier, then I wouldn't mind sharing some of the military intel to you!"
