Finally, he learned who the mastermind behind the threat that had been tracking him all along was, and at this moment, fear and panic were the only things left in Rivera's heart.

God knows what the heck Cybertron Planet and mechanical life are!

Anyway, as the head of a certain military trading company in Brazil, the most powerful country in South America, Rivera, even if his nerves were slow, is beginning to realize that he may have fallen into a deep pit, and it's the kind of bottomless pit he can't see the bottom of!

"Your... Your Excellency..."

Rivera swallowed hard, his eyes quickly darting around, and his instinctive reaction was to escape as quickly as possible, even if it meant being immediately arrested by the authorities.

Sun Cheng looked down at the middle-aged white man in front of him, who was tall and bald, with a gaze filled with hostility.

This Rivera was one of the first humans he recruited to work for him in Brazil, and in order to win him over, Sun Cheng had certainly not spared any effort.

Not only did Sun Cheng never skimp on the procurement funds, he occasionally even used Frenzy's abilities to infiltrate the Brazilian government system and alter a few identities, acquiring industries to give to him as gifts.

Although these methods were all aimed at keeping him firmly under his control, it was evident that Sun Cheng had indeed put a lot of thought into Rivera.

However, it seemed that this guy now wanted to betray him!

He grabbed him straight from the edge of the pool, lifting Rivera up to his face, his visage twisted in a ferocious expression that didn't hide his murderous intent.

"... Rivera, you've disappointed me... We've had a good relationship over the past few months... I'm a greedy person, but I've never cared if my subordinates had their own agendas... But this time, you've disappointed me... Tell me, how do you plan to die..."

In order to avoid drawing attention to the second base, as well as for the convenience of material transportation.

The supplies procured in Brazil were usually transported once a week, and the purchased materials were meant to last for about half a month, not just a few days.

However, with the completion of several additional production lines at the second base, the demand for materials had increased day by day. After all, once the industrial robots were manufactured, they could be immediately put to work after some minor adjustments.

As a result, Rivera's decision to halt the transportation of materials this time had directly caused a severe shortage at the second base.

Due to his mistake, it was estimated that Sun Cheng had lost at least forty or more industrial robots and seven or eight combat robots.

Sun Cheng was naturally furious!

With a slight movement of his palm, although he didn't exert his full strength, the terrifying force of hundreds of kilograms immediately made Rivera feel every bone in his body being squeezed and crackling, and his chest tightened, making it difficult to breathe, causing discomfort.

"No... please... it's not my... my fault..."

His legs thrashed violently. Facing death, Rivera used every ounce of strength he had left to try and pry open Sun Cheng's clenched fist.

Unfortunately, Sun Cheng was equally enraged, his face exceptionally cold.

"Oh? Then I'll give you another chance..."

With a flick of his hand, Rivera was immediately thrown to the ground in front of him. Sun Cheng summoned the plasma cannon, and the menacing muzzle was aimed directly at Rivera's head as he continued coughing.

"Speak, before my patience runs out..."

After coughing a few times on the ground, Rivera sensed an unusual sensation on his head. He instinctively looked up and, upon seeing the plasma cannon's muzzle pointed at his head, his face turned even paler in fear.

This frightened Sun Cheng, who now couldn't afford to entertain any ulterior motives. Without even catching his breath, he hastily replied, "Your Excellency... cough, I didn't mean to... cough... stop procuring supplies... cough... You don't know, the government is now onto me. The US FBI somehow started investigating the arms I procured for you, using the diplomatic channels to contact our government. Currently, the government has initiated an investigation into our company... cough. Several of my trusted subordinates have already been taken away by the prosecuting office for questioning..."

Gasping for air, Rivera struggled to sit up and looked up at Sun Cheng with a trace of hidden resentment in his eyes. "...Although the government hasn't started investigating me yet, they are likely keeping an eye on me... In order to prevent the government from noticing the materials I procured for you, I had to temporarily halt the procurement..."

Indeed, the US government had begun its investigation!

Hearing this, Sun Cheng slightly furrowed his brow, but it was within his expectations.

During their previous encounter with the Sound Nest forces in Savage County, Colorado, he had used various American munitions. It was not surprising that the US government would launch an extensive investigation after the battle.

However, if the FBI ultimately exposed him and the No. 2 base due to the investigation of the arms he purchased under the guise of Brazil, it would cause significant trouble.

In response, Sun Cheng coldly snorted, raising the cannon's muzzle, but still maintaining a stern expression.

There was no doubt that Rivera harbored dissent!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left a means for the other party to contact him. Even if this guy had cut off the supply of materials for a week, Sun Cheng couldn't believe he had no ulterior motives.

After taking a few deep breaths, Riviera struggled to sit up and looked up at Sun Cheng with a hint of resentment in his eyes. "...Although the government hasn't started investigating me yet, they must have their eyes on me... In order to avoid drawing attention from the government regarding the supplies I procured for you, I had to temporarily halt the procurement..."

The U.S. government has indeed initiated an investigation!

Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng furrowed his brow slightly, but he had anticipated this.

During their last encounter with the Sound Nest troops in Savage County, Colorado, he had utilized various American weaponry. It was not surprising that the U.S. government would launch a large-scale investigation in the aftermath of the battle.

However, if the FBI were to expose him and the No. 2 base due to their investigation into the military supplies he purchased under the guise of Brazil, it would spell big trouble.

In response, Sun Cheng snorted coldly and raised the barrel, showing no signs of affability.

There was no doubt that Riviera had developed misgivings!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left a means for the other party to contact him. Even if this guy had been cut off from material supplies for a week, Sun Cheng couldn't believe he had no ulterior motive. He had come to realize that his previous strategy of trying to win Riviera over had been too presumptuous. Sun Cheng lowered his head, staring intently at Riviera, his gaze growing increasingly icy.

"Number 2, come out..."

Suddenly, a frigid voice emanated from his mouth!

Riviera had been cautiously observing him, awaiting his final judgment.

Unexpectedly, he heard Sun Cheng abruptly speak, leaving him perplexed.

In an instant, his vision blurred, and a metal creature the size of an adult clouded leopard leapt out from the pool and landed silently in front of him.

Then, like a gentle house cat, the metal creature crawled respectfully before Sun Cheng and spoke in a clear, cold Portuguese: "Master, what are your orders for summoning me..."

"I will grant you one day to assist Riviera in resuming the procurement of supplies, increasing the total purchase amount tenfold compared to before."

"I guarantee completion of the task, Master..."

No. 2, brimming with excitement, responded with exceptional respect.

It then turned its head to face Riviera, baring its teeth at him.

Having issued the order to No. 2, who had just undergone enhancement, Sun Cheng once again gazed coldly at Riviera, making no effort to conceal his murderous intent.

"Seven days, you wretched reptile. I'm only giving you seven days to utilize all your connections and establish a network that spans the Brazilian political scene..."

Riviera's expression changed abruptly, as he was about to argue that this was an impossible task.

However, before he could voice his thoughts, Sun Cheng denied him the opportunity, lowering his body and bringing his fierce visage close to Riviera's.

"This is an order, not a request..."

With a single sentence, Sun Cheng silenced all potential objections on Riviera's lips, leaving him no choice but to reluctantly nod, although inwardly feeling helpless.

Once again, No. 2 grinned ferociously, saying, "Master, leave it to me..."

Freshly modified and promoted to a level 2 Decepticon scout, No. 2 displayed enthusiasm, naturally appearing highly proactive. It raised its forepaws excitedly, its sharp claws radiating a frigid light, and from its mouth came the chilling statement, "Killing solves all problems!"
