After Sophia was taken home, she did not speak for a long time as she was traumatized. She also felt like she was still trembling all over.
Taking some people with him to look for Phantom Wolf, Michael still did not return when it had gotten dark outside.
Nathan did not hear about the incident that night and had gone to bed early. Back in her own room, Sophia was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She was worried about Michael and wondered if they had caught Phantom Wolf yet.
Nicholas stayed by her side.
He stood by the head of the bed. His glimmering eyes made him seem like a clever child.
The expression on her face did not look good. While she was looking at him though, she felt gratified. If it were not for Nicholas today, she might not have made it back alive.
“You’re the bravest, Nicholas. I love you!” She caressed his robotic head.
His eyes crinkled as if he was smiling. “Dad also complimented me for being brave today!”
Sophia gazed curiously at his hand. There was a black object in his hand earlier that he used to shoot something. It hit Phantom Wolf and made him falter.
“Nicholas, can I see what’s in your hand?”
He answered, “It’s a new feature Uncle Linus gave me. If we ever meet a bad guy in the future, I can protect you, Mom.”
Linus upgraded Nicholas just yesterday. Who knew he had added such a profound feature?
The timing of this upgrade couldn’t have been better!
Sophia looked for some tools to open his exterior. She found that all his internal parts were replaced with more advanced materials. After connecting Nicholas to the computer, she also noticed that his system had been upgraded. It had an additional defense feature that allowed him to lock on and attack a target with a weapon in the shortest amount of time.
She looked at his new system curiously. Even though she was only a novice, she still had an idea of how things worked.
Nicholas had gotten a thorough upgrade. From the inside out, his materials and motherboard were all replaced. It was a bigger upgrade than the last time.
His internal system was as vast as the night sky—incredibly exquisite.
She was in awe. The Michel Family did live up to their name as the world leader in electronics. They could make such an incredible robot like it was nothing!
Just then, she noticed that Nicholas had lost half of the needles in the gun he launched earlier hurriedly fixed him up. “Let’s go see Linus.”
He should have some left in his inventory. She wanted to buy a few back to study it and install more of it in Nicholas next time.
At the same time, in the basement of Villa No. 2, Linus was staring blankly at the man who had invaded his workroom and was using the robotic arm to operate on himself.
Phantom Wolf had taken off his wig, revealing a youthful face that looked both handsome and insolent.
He lay fully naked on the work table while the robot scanned him. The veins on his sweat-covered body looked like dragons popping out of his skin.
Biting down, he used the robot to cut through his own skin and tear further into the tissue to pick out the small silver needles.
Those silver needles almost cost him his life!
Because he was doing the operation himself, he did not dare to use anesthesia. Every time it cut through his skin, the blue veins on his face became visible, sweat started to pour down, and his body quivered from the pain.
Fass is never that kind. No, he isn’t that kind to most people except for the Fletcher Family.
