Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 432 Charlotte's Trouble_1


However, it is said that there are currently less than 100 advanced members on the Capital Planet, and apart from Mary of the Massas family, the sword elder, only a few others who joined the association in its early days. The Capital Planet does not have a single elder-level leader.

Charlotte was quite thrilled. Regardless of whether he was a core member of the association or not, seeing the Bounty Tribe as her rescue was reassuring. But when she tried to register her request, she blanked out. She had forgotten to bring her ID card, and without a phone, she couldn't handle the commission.

Fortunately, when one door closes, another one opens. Just when she was filled with sorrow, she suddenly heard a cold voice from behind: "Hey, lady, need help?"

When she turned around, she was startled to find a youth of about 17 or 18 standing behind her. The boy was clad in sleek, grayish-black tight clothes. His head wrapped in a turban, making it impossible to see his true face.

"Yes, yes." Blinking her innocent eyes, Charlotte woodenly nodded, then explained her situation and her inability to process the assignment to him.

"I can see that." The boy said, "This isn't a big deal, but I don't belong to the Bounty Tribe so my fees are relatively higher, if you're interested."

"How much?"

"1 Federal Coin." The boy held up a finger.

"1 Federal Coin..." Chewing on these words, Charlotte's cute nose wrinkled slightly. That was quite a steep price. But, such situations were not unheard of, especially in economically undeveloped regions. Against the odds, she found herself in a similar situation. On a nicer note, the boy was a local guide willing to rip her off. So, although reluctant, she didn't really mind the extra expense and said: "Let's go," then prepared to hand over the money.

"Let's take care of business first, money and goods must be exchanged together. Trust is important when living away." The boy didn't seem too eager. He shook his head, made a phone call, and a short while later, an SUV appeared in the distance.

"Now you can pay." Right before getting on the car, he asked Charlotte for the money.

"Alright."

With a single Federal Coin which was neither too little nor too much, Charlotte pulled out a note. But when she handed it to the boy, he shockingly shook his head... "Given your good nature, you should keep this Federal Coin, little lamb." Then, he swiftly snatched her purse, stomped on the gas pedal. With the roaring engine, he disappeared into the distance before Charlotte could even realize what just happened.

"Eh, hey, hey..." Charlotte was absolutely stunned. Weren't the people she saw on TV always so honorable? By the time she realized she'd been tricked, the SUV was already far away.

Money isn't everything, but being out of money is absolutely untenable. Even though money is important, other tools in the purse are even more crucial, especially the mobile hard disk with contact methods to Hans and others. Charlotte quickly smacked her naive little head, "Hey, give me back my purse. My ID is in there, my…"

After chasing for a few steps, she gave up on calling out. With this distance, no matter how much she yelled, the guy wouldn't hear her. Besides, she had a naturally soft voice. Even if he did hear her, what difference would it make to a thief? Charlotte was on the verge of crying.

Feng Yi usually didn't care about other people's business. But then he saw Charlotte. As a commentator and early video producer for the Shadow Rider, he recognized her immediately. She had also helped him with his promotion once, which made him decide to help her. So he ran after them, "Hey, give me the purse."

"Who are you?"

"I'm me, who are you?"

"I…Wait! Damn you! @#¥%...&*" The driver's eyes widened when he saw Feng Yi running alongside his car. What the hell? Am I seeing ghosts? The shocked driver immediately hit the gas pedal even harder, but strangely he couldn't create any distance with Feng Yi, who was now even trying to dismantle the steering wheel.

Fuck! The three people in the car were all shocked to see that Feng Yi wasn't even running anymore, he was flying behind their vehicle. Isn't he a ghost visible in broad daylight? They could not find the words to explain what they were seeing. "Stop, don't touch the steering wheel, take the money." The driver nervously called out when he saw Feng Yi dismantling the steering wheel with great interest. Then, he grabbed the purse and threw it out of the window. In the next second, the figure vanished as suddenly as he had appeared.

Apart from ghost sighting, they couldn't find a better word to describe what they had just seen.

While Charlotte was running around frantically, she suddenly felt someone tapping her back. The last time someone patted her, it was a scam, so she reacted instinctively. Without even looking, she swung a barrage of flurry punches at him.

This is absurd, Feng Yi caught Charlotte's wrist: "Young lady, don't be so impulsive. Here, I'm giving back your purse."

"My, my purse!?" Upon hearing this, she quickly flipped through it to see if anything was missing. Nothing was missing except for two fewer notes. She couldn't believe her joy. Upon seeing Feng Yi, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So it was this guy who helped her retrieve her purse. However, she remembered something that didn't make sense. How did she turn from being alone to having him beside her in a matter of seconds? But then again, none of that mattered. "Thank you. If it wasn't for you..."

Feng Yi yawned, waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to thank him, and reminded Charlotte to be careful when she was out alone. She was still too young. At least those guys had some kind of conscience to have left her money to get a cab. Had this happened in some lawless outer region she would have been fleeced.

"What else could I do?" Charlotte's eyes were full of grievance. She claimed she was a refugee who had merely traveled from afar. How could she know that straying off the path to save on expenses would end up costing her so much? Without the need to find transportation here, she wouldn't have been tricked. As a city girl accustomed to urban life, she didn't have much awareness of caution.

After hearing this, Feng Yi looked at her with a strange expression, "Lead the way."

"What are you going to do?"

"Of course, I'm going to help you." Such a dull woman, she is not wary of bad people at all. Instead, she questions the intentions of someone who has helped her. What incomprehensible behavior!

Bang! Accompanied by a heavy sound, the Clapping Tiger appeared out of thin air. According to the federal law, advanced members of the Bounty Tribe do have the right to carry weapons, especially those who hold special missions. It's not as convenient to have an armored vehicle in congested areas, but it didn't matter here in the open suburbs.

Charlotte was completely dumbfounded. How come another military vehicle appeared just after a huge jeep left. Was he just trying to scare her off?

"I'll drive you. Are you coming with me, Charlotte?" Feng Yi asked casually.

Looking at him, who seemed to rely on his vehicle to solve everything, Charlotte couldn't help but laugh, "Old driver, take me with you--Wait, how do you know my name?"

"Don't you regularly attend various TV shows? As a famous commentator and promoter of Galactic Warfare, I know a few things."
