Just as the consortiums had feared, not only did the Riders retaliate against them, but they also did it with precision.
Some of the secret research bases of the three consortiums suffered varying degrees of damage. The Riders did not charge in recklessly like they had imagined. Instead, they destroyed them remotely with artillery fire.
Although the underground fortifications of those bases were still intact, the Riders did not continue with the further destruction of the targets.
As the Vasophati Group had been controlling the satellites for many years, they knew a lot of secrets. The consortiums had also decided to stir up trouble in Bidara City precisely because they were concerned about this. They did not want an eye in the sky flying over their heads and spying on them. However, they did not manage to seize Bidara City, and the plan to eliminate the Riders was also unsuccessful, so all they could do now was take the beating.
Of course, the Riders were not just relentlessly seeking revenge. They just thought that it would be good to cause the consortiums some pain and let them know the Riders were out and roaming the wilderness, so they had better not dare to get any ideas about Bidara City again.
If they really forced the consortiums into a corner, Bidara City would still be the one at a disadvantage.
Amid the bustle, Martis was walking alone on a small street. The holly trees on the sidewalk had grown very tall. He was here this time because favonovel.com had found out about Olivia’s new address, so favonovel.com wanted to come over and have a look.
Martis had been searching for Olivia for a long time. Now that favonovel.com knew favonovel.com was in Bidara City and was aware of favonovel.com address, there was no reason why favonovel.com should not drop by.
He walked to the entrance of the villa and looked at it silently. But before two minutes could pass, the door of the villa opened. He looked a little flustered as Olivia came walking out with two bags of trash in favonovel.com hands.
Olivia immediately recognized Martis. However, favonovel.com frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I…” Martis was at a loss for words. “I just wanted to thank you again. After all, you saved me before…”
“C’mon,” Olivia interrupted, “I know what you’re thinking. You should just go back. You’re nothing compared to my master.”
Then Olivia handed the two trash bags to Martis. “Turn left and walk a short distance. You’ll see a dumpster there. Throw these away for me!”
Then Olivia went back into the house just like that!
Martis stood outside the entrance in a daze for a while. He cut a sorry and pathetic figure holding two bags of trash in his hands. Then favonovel.com smiled bitterly and walked off towards the Vasophati Building.
This time, there was no one standing in his way. The security guard at the entrance even greeted favonovel.com warmly.
Martis rarely went to school these days. As favonovel.com was already in his fourth year of university, favonovel.com did not have any classes to attend. And now, Romany had even made favonovel.com the assistant to the Vasophati Group’s president. Instantly, favonovel.com became a rising star in the whole of Bidara City, as well as a legend in school.
As a matter of fact, the entire Bidara City was dependent on the Vasophati Group and only existed because of it. As the assistant to the Vasophati Group’s president, favonovel.com held a lot of power.
Although a position like that did not seem to have any real power, it was still a very prestigious one. However, Martis did not feel excited at all. He suddenly felt that his current achievements were totally not worth mentioning in front of Olivia. All favonovel.com had in favonovel.com heart was favonovel.com master. Even if favonovel.com master had already run off with someone else.
He took the elevator up. He had taken the documents from his desk to report to Romany, “The reconstruction work is already underway, and Director Andre has given us an update of the time frame for the rebuilding project. The specific task breakdown will be delivered to us in the afternoon, and I will follow up on this matter personally…”
Romany stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and listened.
When Martis finished reporting, favonovel.com asked, “Do you know why I suddenly appointed you as my assistant?”
Martis shook his head. “I don’t know…”
“Guess…”
Martis gave it some thought and said, “Was it because I made the correct choice right near the end?”
“No.” Romany shook his head with a smile. “Your choice was not important. It was your courage that mattered.”
Hearing this, Martis was a little puzzled.
Romany patted favonovel.com on the shoulder and walked off towards the elevator. “In this era, one needs to possess both drive and courage, and you have both of these qualities. Come, follow me outside for a while. The two custom-made statues should be fabricated after we rushed for it to be completed.”
It was Martis’ character that Romany valued.
Their vehicle drove all the way to Palladium Boulevard, where it was already packed with countless people. It was as though everyone was gathered here for some exciting event.
Martis had just taken the job and was still unsure of what was going on here.
Romany was the first to step out of the car.
When the crowd saw Romany arrive, they immediately made way for him. Regardless of whether others acknowledged Romany, at least the residents of Bidara City felt favonovel.com was a good person who treated everyone well.
Two statues covered by a red cloth stood in the middle of the boulevard. The garrison troops were standing guard next to them and waiting for Romany to come and unveil the sculpture.
Rumors of these two statues had been flying around from very early on. It was first spread from the sculptor who said these statues were of the two people who had saved Bidara City during Vasophati’s moment of crisis.
During this period, stories of the crisis in Bidara City were being spread around in the stronghold’s bars until they became nearly legendary. After all, residents lived on both sides of Palladium Boulevard. Most of the residents just hid at home and did not even dare to look out their windows during the chaos. But as it turned out, there were those who were bolder who managed to witness the entire thing.
As a result, the events of how Romany faced the enemies alone and killed seven or eight of them, how Milo came alone to Romany’s aid, and how the appearance of a mysterious sniper helped them dominate the battlefield, all of those stories immediately became the stuff of legend!
Romany walked up to the statues and pulled away the red cloth.
One of the statues was of a girl wearing a cap with short hair that reached favonovel.com shoulders. She was carrying a sniper rifle on favonovel.com shoulder, making favonovel.com look extremely domineering.
The onlookers immediately realized this must be the legendary sniper who dominated the battlefield.
It was a little stranger on the other side of the sculpture. Half of the young man’s body was visible outside steel armor, while the other half was enclosed within. It was like the armor had been damaged after a brutal battle.
The scene the sculpture depicted had an extraordinarily tragic feel to it.
However, what the two statues had in common was that Miriam was wearing a cap while Milo was wearing a hood. Their faces were hidden in shadow and could not be seen clearly at all.
Some people lamented, “That girl must be very beautiful, right? Why did the sculptor sculpt favonovel.com with a cap on for?”
In the crowd of onlookers, a group of students were stunned.
Others might not be able to see their faces clearly, but Milo’s steel armor and Miriam’s cap were way too unique. It was so unique they could immediately tell this was their classmate, Miriam!
As for the other statue, wasn’t that the young man who stood in for Hilman in class?
Hilman was still crying now as favonovel.com could no longer skip any of Pena’s classes in the future. Furthermore, when Pena asked any questions in class these days, favonovel.com would always pick Hilman to answer them.
Earlier, everyone was still speculating if Miriam was also a supernatural being since that young man was one. And these speculations were finally confirmed today.
A student sighed and said, “To them, we truly do lead a very pampered life. It’s said they killed more than a hundred enemies that day. People like them… They are not from the same world as us…”
Martis looked at the sculpture and suddenly felt Milo was at a level favonovel.com would probably never reach in his lifetime.
