Chapter 566


    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.


    Nichs stayed by her side.


    “Don’t be scared anymore, Mom. I’ve chased that bad guy away! I’ll protect you from now on!”


    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 Nichs today, she might not have made it back alive.


    “You’re the bravest, Nichs. I love you!” She caressed his robotic head.


    His eyes crinkled as if he was smiling. “Dad alsoplimented me for being brave today!”


    Sophia gazed curiously at his hand. There was a ck object in his hand earlier that he used to shoot


    something. It hit Phantom Wolf and made him falter.


    “Nichs, 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 Nichs 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 reced with


    more advanced materials. After connecting Nichs to theputer, 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.


    Nichs had gotten a thorough upgrade. From the inside out, his materials and motherboard were all


    reced. It was a bigger upgrade than thest 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 Nichs had lost half of the needles in the gun heunched 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 Nichs next time.


    At the same time, in the basement of Vi No. 2, Linus was staring nkly 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.


    Hey 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.


    s, he got all the needles out of his body and was able to let out a breath of relief. While hey on the


    work table, fresh blood also trickled down the sides of it and was promptly cleaned off by the robot


    vacuum.


    The medical robot automatically gave him anesthesia, cleaned off his wounds, stopped the bleeding, and


    stitched him back up.


    Through gritted teeth, he said, “Why did you imnt something like that in a robot?”


    Those silver needles were not just any regr silver needles. They were deadly microbots that released


    poison as it moved through the whole body in the veins once it entered through the skin. If he had not


    run fast enough to get help from Linus, he would be a corpse by now.


    While the operation was taking ce earlier, Linus simply stood and watched at the side without much of


    a reaction as though he was used to the sight.


    He kept feeling unsettled today for some reason. After listening to Phantom Wolf, he finally put down the


    coffee mug in his hand and slowly made his way over to the work table. “You should consider yourself


    lucky that you’re still alive.” Tossing some clothes at his now treated body, Linus said, “Find a way to get


    out yourself!”


    Phantom Wolf remained lying on the work table. He looked pale from the blood loss. Because his


    wounds were still healing, the medical robot could help him recover faster.


    To avoid attracting suspicion, he had to stay there for a while before he was able to leave.


    Linus got up and nced over at Phantom Wolf’s vitals on the floating screen. His wounds were still


    healing and all the microbots had been removed from inside his body.


    Linus looked at the microbots under the magnifying ss.


    These were what Fass had brought over to use on military robots. It was highly lethal and crude. The


    most sought-after feature was that it caused instant death. Death was especially horrible and there was


    no way to be saved. Linus did not think that he would find it on Nichs or that Phantom Wolf could have


    fallen victim to it.


    When Nate went over to get Nichs fixed yesterday, Linus was not home and Fass had done the


    repairs himself. After he closed the backdoor, he also upgraded Nichs.


    Fass is never that kind. No, he isn’t that kind to most people except for the Fletcher Family.


    As Linus studied those unusual needles, he said, “Fass noticed. He gave me a warning before he left.”


    Phantom Wolf, who was still lying down and waiting for his wounds to heal, scorned, “Why? Are you


    scared? Do you want to back out?”


    Everyone knew that the Phantom Wolf was a killer organization. They took in cash for lives. No one


    knew, however, that their biggest customer was none other than Linus—the second-inmand of the


    Michel Group.


    Without his steady ie and support, he would not dare to be that reckless either.


    Phantom Wolf was savage with human lives, but who could beat the person in front of him?


    At twelve years old, Linus started working with Phantom Wolf to exchange money with lives. By helping


    him get rid of apetitor, he was able to make Linus who he was today.


    On the surface, Linus lived a life of luxury and mor. But underneath all of that, he had enough blood


    on his hands to fill a river. To be where he was today, he had to step on countless corpses and take away


    numerous lives.


    Linus did not bother with his snide remarks.


    “I’ve been exposed. I can’t help you gather information on the Fletchers anymore. You should know his


    tactics too. It’s probably best for you toy low for the time being.”


    Phantom Wolf snorted at him, but he also knew that Fass was just as frightening as Linus.


    Is he trying to interfere with my grudge against the Fletchers?


    Linus noticed his dissatisfaction and said with a nk expression, “I’ll send you back to Africa for a


    while.”


    Phantom Wolf did not respond.


    Suddenly, the doorbell rang. The both of them looked up at the surveince monitor simultaneously and


    saw a girl standing outside. She had an army coat draped over her shoulders and a robot by her side.
