Mary was taken aback when Shi Tian suddenly brought up the na of Yolanda.
"You knew about her?" She asked in a dazed tone.
Shi Tian nodded his head and proceeded to relay what he knew about her, the sa thing he had told Isaac Aaronax previously.
It wouldn't be a secret for long until soone would discover Yolanda had died in the wilderness. Besides, he wasn't guilty of her death despite being powerless to save her. Hence, he didn't mind telling it to certain people.
At the very least, he would be able to plant a seed in their mind, making them take precautions for these two people in particular: Xavier and Hugo.
With his current ability, it was nigh impossible to do anything to Xavier and Hugo, but Isaac Aaronax and Mary are different.
They are people with status within Optic ch, and considering how they were able to employ such powerful shadow figures as guards, Shi Tian knew they are definitely not simple as shown on the surface.
Just the tyrant he had seen previously making a scene in the receptionist area, demanding to see Isaac Aaronax being polite once Mary was getting angry was enough evidence to back up his inference.
And sure enough, Mary's face flashed so vigilance on her expression, even though it was just for a brief mont as she returned to her normal smiling expression.
Of course, Shi Tian had taken notice of such things but remained silent. The seed had already been planted, so there was no need to say further. A seed could be spoiled easily if one attempted to rush its growth.
"Sigh, Yolanda and I were quite amicable, so it's hard for to accept that she's gone just like that. Life is truly fragile when you consider the environnt we live in." Mary sighed softly.
"Even if life is fragile, we should still strive our best to survive and attain our dreams. Otherwise, there is no point in living anymore." Shi Tian suddenly said, sounding extrely profound.
Despite the outside world turning into a hellish nightmare for everyone, people are still living to this day, proving that humanity is best at adapting to the environnt thrown at them.
Since the Great Disaster 1.0, everyone thought the world was ending and humanity would go extinct, but even 100-sothing years later, humanity is still surviving.
"You're right, Nathan. No matter what, people sohow still find a motive to keep on living. Maybe it's a way to mourn for the deceased and how they have died to sustain humanity's future." Mary smiled.
anwhile, Shi Tian chuckled and shook his head, not inputting any response to her statent.
Sure enough, he had a motive to keep living, but to mourn for the deceased? That was a bit difficult to say. After all, he was more motivated in seeking revenge than mourning.
What he experienced in the laboratory was sothing he would never be able to forgive.
"Anyway, what did you co here for?" Shi Tian suddenly asked, shifting the topic as it was getting quite serious and sensitive.
"Right… I was looking for chanist Isaac in here because of that annoyance from Heaven's cha." Mary said, bidding farewell to Shi Tian, and made her way toward the workshop room.
"Was she such a clumsy person?" Shi Tian tilted his head and muttered, seemingly confused at the way she reacted.
Though he rely brushed it off afterward and returned to cleaning. It wasn't his position to guess what type of person Mary was nor was he acquainted enough to determine anything.
As Shi Tian busied himself with cleaning, in room 515, Isaac Aaronax was working on so gear until soone knocked on the door.
"So how was he?" Isaac Aaronax unlocked the door with a button and asked calmly.
"Well, just like you have inford , Nathan doesn't seem to be lying regarding how Yolanda died. However, I sensed that he was hiding so information from us."
It was Mary that had entered and she had a solemn expression on her face, a far cry from her previous clumsy self.
Isaac Aaronax nodded his head in agreent. "He might be hiding sothing from us, possibly because it's sothing he doesn't wish to divulge, but I have determined that he shouldn't be the cause of Yolanda's death. He's simply too weak to plot or sche against her."
"I agree with that. His sense of alertness, when I entered the training facility, was pathetic, to say the least. Though he still gives a better impression than most." Mary calmly relayed the event to him, proving her claim.
And she continued, "However, I'm quite surprised to hear that he had taken you as his master. Are you serious about this?"
"Of course, I am serious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent you to test him as well. I believe in my eyesight on people, but it doesn't hurt to have soone else to back up as well. And hearing you, I'm confident that he's going to beco my successor." Isaac Aaronax relaxed his expression and said.
Now that even Mary had agreed with him, Isaac Aaronax's guard was officially lowered.
"It sure is a miracle that you are willing to take soone in as an apprentice. Not to ntion, I haven't seen you enjoying yourself this much." Mary similarly dropped her solemn tone and smiled briefly, clearly relieved that Isaac Aaronax was acting carefree.
"Well, that brat is indeed a handful." Isaac Aaronax chuckled.
"Anyway, you wouldn't call in here just to test his character and relay my findings to you, right?"
"Mhmm, I find it suspicious that Yolanda would die in the wilderness. Even if it was against a Tenceloras, she shouldn't have been so helpless to not survive by herself."
To that, Mary's eyes squinted slightly and her body tensed up, "You suspect there is foul play?"
Isaac Aaronax shook his head.
"I don't suspect, Mary. I believe there is indeed foul play involved, and I shall authorize you to mobilize the Shadow Legion."
