Chapter 013: Clearing His Mind

The United States was well aware that the more authentic they made their actions appear, the less other countries would suspect.

So they seized this opportunity to deploy defenses almost everywhere, arresting batch after batch of spies who had secretly infiltrated their country, sparing no one with even a hint of suspicion.

Of course, they weren't worried that arresting all these people would leave no one to test the waters for them. As a superpower, how could their country be without spies?

Even in peacetime, spies from all corners of the world remained hidden within their borders.

These spies lived cautiously within the United States.

They used various identities to cover themselves. Even the U.S. government only knew of their existence, not their specific identities or locations.

So this time, the U.S. government planned to use this opportunity to catch foreign agents and force the spies lurking in their country to act, making them step on the mines.

The reason they dared to do this was simply an information gap.

They knew Wang Bo's terror, but other countries had no idea of his power.

By the time other countries learned of this, it would probably be too late.

So they were setting a trap.

But the one thing they miscalculated was that they didn't know the video of Megatron begging humans for help had already fallen into Wang Bo's hands.

Wang Bo even knew all about the trap the U.S. government had set. But he didn't care at all; he was more concerned about Megatron's actions.

To be honest, Wang Bo had always thought Xiao Qing's spoilers for Bumblebee were outrageous, utterly shameless, but he never expected that there was always someone better, and mountains beyond mountains.

Megatron's move was even more outrageous than Xiao Qing's spoilers.

Evil Autobots? Ruled Cybertron? Wronged Megatron? Optimus Prime and his minions?

What the fuck...

Outrageous, truly outrageous, so outrageous that Wang Bo was caught off guard.

If Wang Bo hadn't seen Transformers, he would almost have believed it. From now on, allow Wang Bo to address Megatron as Wei·Nicholas·Leonardo·Brando·Hanks·Affleck·Tian.

But at the same time, Wang Bo knew that Optimus Prime and his crew were in for a rough time.

Megatron had used benefits to stir up humanity's competitive spirit.

You see, in the world of Transformers, most advanced science and technology were reverse-engineered by humans from studying Megatron.

And more technology had yet to be reverse-engineered.

Megatron was like a treasure trove, deeply attracting the humans of this Earth.

To say that leaders of other countries didn't know of Megatron's existence was undoubtedly nonsense; there are no walls without cracks. Even Sector Seven, no matter how tight, couldn't hide Megatron for decades without being discovered.

Moreover, the technology they had produced would reveal traces and clues.

Even if others didn't know what Megatron looked like, they would surely know that the U.S. had an alien on their hands.

Now, with Megatron suddenly appearing, if he was truly willing to offer some technology, people from other countries would be like chickens injected with adrenaline, frantically chasing after Optimus Prime and his group.

After all, this was a global competition; no one wanted to fall behind.

Once behind, catching up would not be easy.

Wang Bo even suspected that many countries would secretly contact Optimus Prime, hoping to make a deal with him. They wouldn't care whether Megatron's words were true or false, nor whether Optimus Prime was evil.

As long as there was profit, everything could be negotiated.

But the problem lay precisely here. Optimus Prime was different from unscrupulous Transformers like Megatron; he understood human kindness and also human cruelty.

So he would never hand over advanced weapons to humans, nor upgrade their weapons.

In the original storyline, Prime did exactly that.

He did it entirely for humanity's good. Handing over advanced weapons to humans was like giving a child the nuclear button; who knew what would happen.

But humanity would never appreciate it.

They would think Optimus Prime was being wary of them, unwilling to trade.

In that case, why not agree with Megatron, contact him, and hunt down Optimus Prime? On one hand, they could study the corpses of Optimus and his crew; on the other, they could gain benefits from Megatron.

Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?

So Wang Bo could basically conclude that Optimus Prime's days were not good. They were unwilling to harm humans or make enemies of them.

But humans would not show them mercy.

If this continued, Optimus Prime and his group might really be killed by humans.

Helpless, Wang Bo had to warn Optimus Prime, telling him what was happening here, or else Prime might not know how badly he would be schemed against by humans.

When it came to playing tricks, ten Primes combined were no match for humans.

On the other hand, Wang Bo had a headache because among the minions Megatron had announced was his photo. So Wang Bo figured that soon, wave after wave of agents and spies would come knocking, wanting to capture him to claim credit.

After all, in their eyes, humans were easier to deal with than alien mechanical lifeforms.

These guys were undoubtedly being used as pawns by Megatron.

Wang Bo certainly wasn't afraid of a bunch of humans, but there was one problem: too many flies were annoying.

Unless Wang Bo acted now, dominated Earth, and scared all the countries into submission, they wouldn't come looking for trouble.

But the problem was, Wang Bo had no interest in dominating Earth.

With that effort, he might as well spend more time with Xiao Bai. So after some hesitation, Wang Bo decided to go to another world for a walk and clear his mind.

So he took out the Dimension Door and placed it in a remote cave in the Sahara Desert. At the same time, Wang Bo left Friday in this world to monitor it closely.

If anything happened in this world, or if Xiao Qing was in danger, Friday would notify him in time.

Friday smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Master, I'll take good care of the Mistress."

Wang Bo nodded in satisfaction, then handed over control of Blackwing and some mechanical soldiers to Friday to ensure Friday's safety.

After that, Wang Bo pushed open the Dimension Door and entered it with Xiao Bai.

Middle-earth, I'm back!!!
