Auckland quickly arrived at the coordinates by speeding, only to find himself in the heart of the city, teeming with people. Frowning, he unleashed his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, searching for anyone acting suspiciously.
Soon, a man wearing a mask came over and handed a small communicator to him.
Auckland turned on the communicator and heard a deep male voice, "Auckland, Owen is in our hands. If you want him back safely, do as we say."
"What do you want to do? Who are you?!" Auckland asked gritting his teeth.
"Hand over your light brain to the person in front of you." The other party did not respond to his meaning, but just gave an order.
Auckland had no choice but to take off the light computer on his wrist and hand it to the person who handed him the communicator.
"Very good. Now turn left. Keep going until I tell you to stop." The deep male voice gave him another coordinate. "Don't try to do anything stupid. Your every move is under our noses."
Auckland had no doubt about the man's threats. This was the city center, and there were surveillance cameras installed everywhere. If Aiden Gladstone was really the mastermind behind the kidnapping, then it would be no problem for him to access these surveillance cameras.
Unfortunately, Oakland didn't need to use the optical computer to let others track him. He only needed to leave a spiritual mark and Hall would be able to find him.
Following this man's instructions, Auckland walked a long distance in many twists and turns, which took almost an hour. Most people would have felt weak in the legs by now, but for Auckland, it was a piece of cake. However, he still looked very tired.
Finally he came to a very remote place where a car was waiting for him.
"Get in the car. The people inside will give you anesthetic. Don't resist."
Auckland had no choice but to get on the bus. A large man with a syringe in his hand asked Auckland to sit across from him. After Auckland sat down, the man stabbed his arm with the needle.
The ice-cold liquid was injected into his body. Oakland quickly used his spiritual power to confine the small ball of liquid in one place to prevent it from spreading around the body. At the same time, he pretended to be asleep to let the big man let down his guard.
After confirming that he had fallen asleep, the big man took the communicator from him and said, "Everything is going well."
After the communication ended, the car started moving.
Auckland released his spiritual sense, observing his surroundings and quietly leaving marks along the way. These people never imagined that their careful planning and concealment of their whereabouts would have had no effect.
When the vehicle finally stopped, the burly man had Auckland lifted from the car and taken to their base. Auckland was speechless. Did this Aiden Gladstone have some obsession with underground fortresses? This time, he had been taken to another secret underground fortress, which was extremely well-defended and swarmed with heavily armed guards.
Auckland was placed in a room. His spiritual sense detected that there were surveillance cameras inside the room and guards outside, so he didn't dare to move rashly. He pretended to be asleep until someone opened the door and walked in. Seeing that he was still asleep, they asked in a stern voice, "Why isn't he awake yet?"
Judging from the voice, it's a woman.
"I don't know, it's almost time..."
At this time, Auckland knew it was almost time for him to wake up.
His eyelids fluttered slightly, and then he pretended to have just woken up.
"Who are you? Where is this place?" Auckland looked warily at the gentle and soft-looking woman in front of him.
"Your name is Auckland, right? My name is Jessica Bloomer, nice to meet you." Jessica is a very beautiful woman who is worth looking at. Maybe she won't be so stunning at first sight, but it is easy for people to like her. She has a slim figure and always smiles. She doesn't look aggressive at all. Women like her are the easiest to make people relax.
Auckland just looked at her quietly, without any intention of getting close to her.
If Hall were here, he would probably recognize this woman at a glance. She is also a very famous mecha designer from the Blumer family. She is also one of the three major suppliers of standard mechas for the federal army. It can be said that she is in absolute competition with the Lowell family.
It’s a pity that Auckland didn’t understand these things, so when Jessica called out her name, he still didn’t react.
Jessica didn't take it seriously. She just smiled and said, "We don't have any bad intentions. We just need your help. As long as you help us complete the task, we will let you and Mr. Owen go."
"What do you want me to do?" Oakland didn't intend to waste time with her. After Hall got the news, he would soon find a way to rescue them. Before that, what he needed to do was to find out their purpose, and it would be best if he could get some evidence.
"Please watch this video." Jessica clicked on her light brain to play a video, and projected the video onto the wall with a light screen.
It was the scene of 'Ivan' engraving the Soul Gathering Demonic Pattern on the modified mecha. The video was edited very well, allowing people to clearly see the person engraving the pattern. Jessica played it in fast-forward mode and quickly demonstrated the power of this new modified mecha.
"Mr. Auckland, do you think this magic pattern looks familiar? After all, these magic patterns are inherited from your family, aren't they? This is our newly developed modified mecha. If it can be engraved with this spirit-gathering magic pattern, it can automatically restore energy. From now on, soldiers will no longer have to worry about running out of energy stones when going to battle."
Auckland sneered inwardly. Such a high-sounding excuse, they were surprised. What new development? They acted as if they were so amazing. It was clearly something he had personally engraved and modified!
Seeing that Auckland still had no reaction, Jessica gritted her teeth in annoyance and decided to use force if soft tactics didn't work. "If you refuse to cooperate with us, we'll probably have to ask Mr. Owen for help. I remember that Mr. Owen doesn't seem to be in good health. I wonder if he can hold on?"
Such an obvious threat earned Auckland a glare, but Jessica saw the hesitation in his eyes and knew that he had surrendered.
The smile on Jessica's face suddenly deepened a bit, "Then Mr. Auckland, please follow me."
Auckland was brought into a large room. She pressed a button and a silver-white mecha rose from the ground. It looked very gorgeous and exquisite, and looked completely different from the mechanical mechas he had seen before.
"This is……?"
"I knew you'd be interested," Jessica said with a smile. "This is the latest intelligent mecha launched by my family. We've added energy stones to the special memory metal, and now it can be engraved with magic patterns."
After hearing this, Oakland had a rough idea of what Jessica's family was up to. Thinking back to Dylan's successful launch of his new intelligent mecha at the Rookie Mecha Competition, could these people be planning to outmaneuver the Lowell family?
"Mr. Auckland is incredibly talented. Not only does he have a very high success rate in creating emblems, but he's also able to draw inferences from one instance. This small Soul Gathering Demonic Pattern shouldn't be too difficult for you." She pressed another button, and a mechanical mecha rose from the ground. It looked exactly like the modified mecha he had seen in the Dark Star Region. "But I must remind you that an intelligent mecha cannot be disassembled like a mechanical mecha. You'll need to carefully study how to make the Soul Gathering Demonic Pattern engraved on the intelligent mecha function properly. Until you're confident, you can practice on a mechanical mecha first."
"As long as you can successfully produce ten intelligent mechas for us, we will let you and Mr. Owen go, but if you can't do it..." Jessica didn't finish her words, but Oakland could fully understand what she had left unsaid.
Auckland glanced at her coldly, but didn't take it seriously. These people thought their plan was flawless and didn't leave any clues, but in fact, everything was under their control. Hall would arrive soon following his spiritual mark. He didn't need to work for this woman at all to rescue Brother Owen.
It is obvious that this woman is cooperating with Aiden Gladstone. This video and the technology for transforming the mecha were given to her by Aiden. When the time comes, they only need to capture this woman and torture her severely, and they will surely be able to find out Aiden's purpose in doing this soon.
Jessica saw the coldness in Auckland's eyes, but didn't think much of it. She just thought he was angry, so she smiled and persuaded him, "Mr. Auckland, please consider Mr. Owen a little more and don't act on impulse."
