Chapter 331 Four Traits

Despite being a singular person, she was able to confront them with such ease and calm composure. 

It was not an easy thing to do when faced with so many soldiers that could easily rain bullets on them.

Breaking the silent atmosphere after Mary\'s proclamation, Phoebe stepped forward and asked, "What do you mean by giving us a word of advice?" 

As for Benedict, he did not wish to let Phoebe take all the spotlight as he stepped forward as well, and equally demanded the same question, albeit in a paraphrased version. 

"Yeah, do you even know what is going on with us here? What piece of advice are you trying to offer?" Benedict pointed his finger at Mary and asked with an air of authority.

Meanwhile, Phoebe rolled her eyes in annoyance when Benedict was at it again. 

What kind of time was he trying to waste by paraphrasing her question? 

As the two commanders were glaring at each other, Shi Tian, who was still sitting on top of the vehicle shouted. "Hey, two prideful military commanders. Are you embarrassed or not?" 

Since he was going to resume his role as an outspoken and arrogant person, then naturally, Shi Tian wasn\'t going to let these two commanders assume control of the conversation.

They arrived and caught their attention with style, so how could he possibly let their momentum be drowned because of these two questions? 

"Embarrassed?" Benedict raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Who are you and how dare you question us?" 

When Benedict finished his words, his soldiers simultaneously raised their guns up and pointed at Shi Tian, seemingly ready to fire at will with a single signal. 

Normally, such dramatic and imposing authority would frighten most people, but Shi Tian just loved to be the minority.

Instead of being frightened by the sight, Shi Tian smirked coldly and stood up.

"Who am I, you asked, right?" Shi Tian chuckled. 

"I\'m the mechanic that provided the Claymore Mines to assist the frontline to suppress the monster waves, Gavin. As for the daring part, I can\'t admit it when you are clearly more daring than me, Commander Benedict." He added, jumping down from the top of the vehicle and landing just in front of Mary. Benedict narrowed his eyes slightly when he realized Shi Tian hadn\'t lost his composure despite his soldiers\' actions. 

Nevertheless, he wouldn\'t back down now and had his pride wounded. 

"Hmph, isn\'t it just a few traps delivering to the frontline? How dare you act so conceited for such a trivial task!" Benedict sneered coldly, clearly looking down at Shi Tian and his pathetic achievement.

"You\'re right, how dare I act conceited, but aren\'t you worse than me?" Shi Tian tilted his head and asked. 

"As a military commander of Gearits City, instead of utilizing the resources provided to you to help salvage the crisis. You instead used the resources for an internal strife, causing explosions left and right. And did I forget to mention casualties?" 

Benedict wanted to argue further until Phoebe intervened and stared at Shi Tian, seemingly trying to understand his motive.

"Gavin– no, it\'s more correct to call you Nathan, right?" Phoebe said in a gentle tone, but her underlying implication was quite heavy.

Phoebe\'s question might seem simple at first glance, but the identity that Shi Tian currently used was Gavin. 

So if he admitted to being called Nathan, then it meant he was indirectly admitting to falsifying his identity. Such a crime could easily have him apprehended on the spot and it was justified too.

\'They say women are venomous viper, and they aren\'t wrong.\' Shi Tian thought to himself. 

Just being careless for even a brief moment, and he would have stepped into a trap already. 

"I\'m Gavin, but my nickname is Nathan. So only those who are close to me call me Nathan." Shi Tian replied somewhat cheekily.

And he continued, "If you prefer to get close to me, then feel free to call me Nathan. Otherwise, Gavin is fine as well." 

\'Look at this scoundrel…\' Phoebe laughed silently in her mind. 

She had just attempted to trap him, and he not only managed to easily divert the main objective but also created a misunderstanding in which she was attempting to have a closer relationship with him.

Mary wanted to laugh in response, having witnessed just how cheeky and shrewd Shi Tian could be despite his usual calm composure. 

As for Benedict, these word games were too high level for him to comprehend. The only thing he subtly understood from the conversation was that Shi Tian was Gavin but people also called him Nathan at the same time. 

Keeping a bright smile, Phoebe merely nodded her head. "I\'ll just call you Gavin then." 

"Ahh, what a shame then. I was expecting you to call me Nathan." Shi Tian shrugged his shoulders but didn\'t press on the matter any further. It could be said that they had made a tacit agreement to not divulge about his identity issues. 

Phoebe rolled her eyes, clearly having somewhat of an idea regarding Shi Tian\'s character. 

Arrogant, cheeky, flirty, and extremely annoying. All four traits combined into one created Shi Tian. 

"Pfft," Unable to hold her laughter anymore, Mary started making some small giggles. She found Shi Tian very hateful whenever he acted rogue and a scoundrel toward someone else.

Of course, the hateful was not the true hate, but more of a playful hate kind. 

Meanwhile, Phoebe took a deep breath, ignoring Shi Tian\'s cheeky remark as she focused her attention on the main point again.

"Anyway, who shot the Light Beam and why are you interrupting our affair?" Phoebe asked in a solemn tone. She was more concerned about the powerful Light Beam that had nearly caused the very surface of the Earth to shake tremendously.
