When Krissie was repeatedly provoked by the rogue Raszak, Shi Tian was silent and merely watched the scene unfold.

Just like he had mentioned previously, he was not the human shield that Krissie thought he was.

Thus, he would not bother himself in this matter when Raszak was solely focused on getting Krissie to bed him.

What kind of choice and action to respond would be up to Krissie alone.

In addition to that, Shi Tian doesn't have an idea of what kind of connection Raszak had in Gearits City other than the fact that he was a lecherous old man who would resort to blackmailing.

Without any information in hand, Shi Tian wouldn't act impulsively now that he had entered Gearits City. The situation now was different from the camping site in which he did not have to fear any repercussions when killing Benmos.

Some laws existed within Gearits City to control the public, but the camping site was considered to be a part of the lawless land.

'Either way, Krissie should be fine as long as she remains composed. The threat that Raszak used is completely futile.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, waiting to see what her action would be.

Benmos was dead, so unless Raszak wanted to die as well and meet each other in the underworld, then the chance of him speaking with Benmos is zero percent.

"If you can find Benmos, then feel free to tell him. We're only here today to request Mechanist Tyler." Krissie kept her cool and responded calmly, not giving in to the provocation of Raszak.

Meanwhile, Raszak snickered coldly and stood up from behind the counter, "A whore like you that spreads her goddamn legs to people that can pay you has the nerve to act so dignifiedly. How hilarious is that? Just speak up if you want to charge me more in Eons."

"Alright, that's enough of a farce from a horny old man that can't get laid even if he wants to pay. If you aren't going to assist us in finding Mechanist

Tyler, then kindly fuck off to the side." Shi Tian finally intervened and said, dissing the crap out of Raszak.

Originally, he didn't plan on intervening whatsoever, but this person couldn't contain his horniness and proceeded to waste everyone's time repeatedly. If he was that desperate to get laid, then he should have gone to a brothel somewhere in the slum area and not here.

"Oh, so this brat isn't a mute?" Raszak ignored his remarks and glanced at Shi Tian up and down.

"Don't you know who runs this place?" He then asked.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian had heard enough of his bullshit and directly pulled out his gun.

"Go on," Shi Tian calmly said, pointing the gun barrel right at his forehead. "Speak one more crap and you can enjoy a bullet for your last meal."

Finally, when the other people realized Shi Tian had pulled out a gun, they stopped their work and walked toward them.

"That's enough of your remarks already, Raszak. Just notify Mechanist Tyler to complete their request before things get more chaotic." One of the workers subtly said, trying to defuse the situation.

Alas, now that things have come to this, Shi Tian had long lost interest and faith in this specific workshop. Just the fact that this group of people allowed Raszak to continue talking rogue toward them without stopping was enough for him to understand something.

"No need, you can save the effort." Shi Tian coldly said, exiting the workshop along with Krissie.

Once they exited the workshop, Shi Tian remained silent and continued to return back to the path that they had taken. Krissie also didn't say anything and followed him heedlessly, almost as if she was a duckling following the mother duck.

Sometime later, Shi Tian checked their surroundings to confirm that it was discreet and that there weren't any people nearby.

"What kind of workshop did you recommend, Krissie?" Shi Tian finally asked. "A rogue such as that and you tell me it's the best. Not to mention eccentric people?"

Krissie lowered her head, clearly not knowing what else to say.

"Spare me the silence already. If you keep your attitude this way, then I'm truly surprised how you even survived for this long."

Krissie nodded her head and with much difficulty, she revealed that she was lying from the start.

"I lied about knowing they are the best because Benmos had only ever gone to that workshop for repair. And I have never gone to the inner zone of Gearits because I'm unqualified to be there. Thus, I don't really know much of Gearits City and all the explanation I've made was from the words of Benmos' mouth."

"..."

At this point, Shi Tian was truly amazed how he managed to be hoodwinked by her lies. But then again, it was because he had practically zero information about Gearits City that caused him to fall for it in the first place.

Despite that, Shi Tian wasn't going to curse his luck because only a wussy would blame everything on luck.

At the end of the day, it was his decision to be led on by Krissie due to his haste in wanting to repair his right arm.

"Forget it, do you know any exchange center location nearby?" Shi Tian said, deciding that it was best to just forget about the incident of being scammed by her.

Though, he had made sure to mark down Hush's Workshop on his mind because when he left, he could tell Raszak was glaring at them deeply. Such people are always petty and would try to get revenge, so before they could do something, Shi Tian would gladly end the conflict later on.

"The exchange center is right at the border of the outer zone and inner zone of the city. And the exchange rate for Source Crystals to Eons varies depending on who is exchanging and who is the person doing the exchange." Krissie said solemnly, hoping that he would still believe her words.
