Reboot: Mechanic

With Robert Cook revealing a mysterious man's name, Vanessa's grip loosened completely. 

Dropping Robert Cook on the ground, he was still frightened and gasping for air, clearly shocked by the incident. 

Meanwhile, Shi Tian and Vanessa exchanged a glance, their expressions grim. 

They had a name now, but Lyndon Sinclair seemed to be a new player in the game, and they still had no idea what his motives were.

"Do you recognize the name Lyndon Sinclair?" Shi Tian asked Vanessa. She should be the one who most likely had an idea, given that Lyndon Sinclair seemed determined for her life. 

Unfortunately, Vanessa shook her head, showing a clueless expression as well. 

It was clear that this was the first time she had heard of the name, Lyndon Sinclair. 

"Hmm, then could Robert be giving us misinformation?" Shi Tian asked, his eyes glaring at Robert Cook, who quickly trembled in fear.

He was merely a manager who wanted to earn a living and not some fighter. 

Thus, he knew if they wanted to, then his life would truly end here. And there was no way he would accept his death here. 

"I'm really speaking the truth." Robert Cook said panickingly. 

"I can even swear an oath if you don't believe me." He added, giving them reason that he could verify his claim.

"Sure, swear an oath right now that if you were giving us false information, then not only will you live a miserable life, but you also can never make love with any woman. You shall be erectile dysfunction for life and can only get railed by men daily to get some pleasure." Shi Tian demanded coldly. 

When Shi Tian finished his sentence, not to mention Robert Cook, even Cyrus along with his soldiers were frightened slightly in disbelief.

Such a vicious oath was truly a man's worst nightmare. Living a miserable life was already depressing, but to have erectile dysfunction as well and only be able to get pleasure was to be railed by men. 

These three consequences were enough to deter any men from attempting to swear an oath and go against it. 

However, Vanessa held a different reaction as she nodded her head, going as far as giving Shi Tian a thumbs up. It was clear that she approved of his demand and that she couldn't wait to see what Robert Cook would do.

"I like your idea very much, Nathan," Vanessa smirked coldly. 

"I just can't fathom why your boss would ever reveal the name to you like that. It's not like you have a trustworthy face either." She added, insulting his appearance in the meantime. 

Robert Cook was aggrieved, but no one had any sympathy for him.

After all, he might not be involved in the actual situation that resulted in numerous casualties. He was a knowing party and did nothing, acting as a bystander and spectator. Thus, that was equivalent to being guilty of the crime. 

As for Cyrus, he was too busy relaying the new information that he had just received back to Theobold. Having a name could give out many leads compared to having nothing at all. 

A few seconds later, Robert Cook finally resigned to his fate and swore the vicious oath that Shi Tian demanded. 

In his mind, he was thinking that since that was the truth, there was nothing to be afraid of. It was only if he knew more and concealed it then he would have been afraid of swearing the vicious oath. 

"There, are you happy now?" Robert Cook asked exhaustedly. His face was bruised and his abdomen was in pain thanks to Shi Tian's punch with his mechanical arm. 

Vanessa simply shrugged in response to Robert Cook's agitated question. "Why would I be happy when someone is repeatedly plotting for my life? Look at your current expression and emotion. Are you happy about being beaten black and blue?" 

Robert Cook was stumped, clearly knowing the answer but refrained from answering it. 

If he answered yes, then the vicious oath would take effect, but if he answered no, then Vanessa would definitely beat him up a few more times. 

Hence, the best answer was to remain silent, and not give a response. 

Alas, that was the wrong choice. In the end, there was no correct answer at all.

"Nathan, punch him in the abdomen again. I want to see him puke out the food he had eaten earlier." She commanded coldly. 

However, to her surprise, Shi Tian gave her a response that she wasn't expecting.

"I refused." He shook his head and said. 

"What?" Vanessa was astonished, turning her head slightly and giving him a glare. "Why are you refusing?"

Before Shi Tian could even explain, Robert Cook intervened and said, "Because I have already revealed everything, so there isn't a point. And this gentleman isn't a violent man." 

He believed Shi Tian was being rational right now, so he was bootlicking him in hopes of being released. 

"Is that true, Nathan?" Vanessa raised an eyebrow and asked, her tone filled with a mixture of anger and disbelief. 

A moment of silence occurred as everyone in the scene was eager to hear his explanation.

Even Cyrus was curious after finished reporting the information to Theobold. He was now in a joyous mood, having made an achievement with the information received. 

Realizing that all eyes were on him, Shi Tian sighed softly. 

"I don't want to punch him to the point of puking his digested food because it's disgusting and it might dirty my clothes." Shi Tian finally explained, dumbfounding everyone at present. 

That was his reason!

To not have his clothes dirtied by Robert Cook's puke, he refused to punch his abdomen hard.

"What the fuck?!!" Vanessa cursed in disbelief. 

"Y-Yes, puking means dirty, so let's not do that okay." Robert Cook smiled bitterly. 

"Let's just call it a day here and we'll pretend this incident never happened. I won't dare to rat you out because I have revealed some information to you already. I'll be dead if I'm caught." He added, hoping that he could just be released. 

Vanessa nodded her head. 

"Sure, I'll let you go and give you a bonus reward." She smiled brightly. 

That was the last sentence Robert Cook had heard before he felt an excruciating pain coming from his bottom part, an egg-cracking sound echoing in the warehouse.
