Seeing that the monster was clearly drawn away by Simon's scream, a gleeful look appeared in his
eyes.
Rhein immediately tried to draw a distance between him and Simon, and the monster should go back
to pursue the easier prey.
Sure enough, the monster once again changed its target and rushed towards Simon.
Simon was indolent and very slow.He was panting and wheezing as he ran for his life, yet the monster
was closing in on him evermore.He could hear it behind him as he tumbled onto the ground and quietly
waited for his doom.
However, at that very moment, a violent burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, hitting the ground behind
Simon and stopping the monster in its tracks.
Rhein looked at the man at the door as an excited gleam appeared in his eyes.
"Sliver, you're finally here!"
Simon also looked over.
To his surprise, he found that it was troops in regular military uniform standing before him.
There were quite a number of them, a regiment at least, and they came prepared.
Hearing Rhein's words, he looked back in disbelief and quickly realized that all these people were
summoned by him.
‘How did Rhein manage to call on the Federals?’ Simon's expression turned grim as he looked at
Rhein and hissed, "You bastard! You lied to me! You are in league with the Intercontinental Party!"
There was nary a trace of guilt on Rhein's face as he looked at the soldiers starting to intercept and
take down the monster in an orderly manner.He then got up and casually made his way to Sliver, not
forgetting to throw shade at Simon as he went.
"A few honeyed words, you fell hook, line, and sinker.Who's to blame again?"
Rhein walked to Sliver's side and spat disdainfully at Simon.
"The Federal's terms are much better than yours.Look at what a mess you've created for me, and you
have the cheek to begrudge me?!"
"This is something I should be saying to you."
Rhein looked at the man beside him in astonishment.
Sliver's expression was extremely cold, mixed with a tinge of fury.
His silver eyes looked like they were suppressing some kind of raging emotions, his irritability and
disdain overflowing.
"Just look at what the hell you've created for me? You said you've gotten your hands onto the blueprint,
and you told me that you can get all of the Mobile Armors of the Turmann family.By the looks of things,
you are a fool even worse than he is!"
Rhein's face stiffened as the smile on it disappeared.
His expression became impassive as he said, "I thought I had done my best."
When Sliver heard that, he snorted.
"A turd, no matter how polished, is still a turd."
Rhein did not say much as he angrily slammed his fist against the wall and turned to look at the battle
before him.
