The Mechanic [BL]

[49]

Chapter 49 - Machinery and Life (7)

The Sixth Chief's pressing step by step made Zhang Xun's anger grow stronger and stronger and it was now difficult to control his expression. He glared at the Sixth Chief angrily and was about to speak, when Adam said in a light voice, "Although anyone can use a knife, there is a big difference between good and bad use. What's more, I'm not just a tool anymore, my mechanic Zhang Xun has given me part of a human life, which means that I have my own preferences."

Zhang Xun glanced at Adam, only to feel that the anger that had almost erupted just now extinguished again. He looked at the Sixth Chief again and there seemed to be a hint of pride in his expression.

The Sixth Chief's dark blue eyes wandered between the two, like he was calculating something. Suddenly, he smiled gracefully again and stood up from the sofa, "It seems that Mechanic Zhang Xun was right, there is indeed a deep... tacit understanding between the two of you. I sincerely hope that your tacit understanding will not become a threat to the safety of Lost Paradise."

He strode to the door and just before Pan opened the door, he turned back to Adam and said, "I'm looking forward to our next conversation."

After speaking, the door opened and his bodyguards surrounded him again. Soon, the calm figure of the Sixth Chief disappeared into the corridor. Zhang Xun exhaled a long breath, but the Sixth Chief's sentence still lingered in his mind: I sincerely hope that your tacit understanding will not become a threat to the safety of Lost Paradise.

The word itself was a threat and he knew it all too well. As long as the Sixth Chief had any evidence that he had been brainwashed and controlled by Adam, the Round Table would immediately replace him. At that time, even the Fifth Chief's friendship with his father would not help him to keep his position. The Sixth Chief could then justifiably take full control of Adam.

He would never let that happen.

Adam walked up to Zhang Xun quietly and also looked in the direction the Sixth Chief had left in, the ease in his voice disappeared, "He is very dangerous, Ah-Xun."

Zhang Xun looked at Adam unexpectedly.

Even in the depths of the enemy camp, Adam never used the word "dangerous" to describe anyone. Why did he make such an evaluation after just a few short conversations with the Sixth Chief?

"I know..." But what could they do? The other party was a Chief and he couldn't get any leverage on him.

"I expect that in the next year or two, he will become the person who controls the Round Table Council." Adam deduced various possible futures in his mind, his eyes were a little blank, "We should make plans early."

.......................................

For the next month, Zhang Xun shut himself in the research room with the door locked and even Adam wasn't allowed to enter. Every day Adam would frequently pass by that door, stop for a while, see that the other party didn't intend to come out and then continue to walk forward. Fernandez once smiled and said to James, who came to find Zhang Xun to play cards, "Look, doesn't it look like a dog that was left outside a restaurant waiting for its owner to come out?", he said as he pointed at Adam who was slowly going up the stairs.

James couldn't help laughing loudly, "Aren't these artificial intelligences a little strangely obsessed with their mechanics? Isn't Pan like this too? I don't dare to fight with Zhang Xun here, for fear that he will shoot me with an anaesthesia needle... "

"Of course! My Ahn'Qiraj loves me with all its heart!" Fernandez looked at an assembly workshop on the first floor like he was intoxicated, his eyes full of love.
