On the east coast of Brazil, due to Sun Cheng's sudden intervention, a hidden undercurrent began to emerge in this South American country.

A person drove to a seaside villa and, through the rearview mirror, Rivera, with a gloomy and unpleasant expression, looked back cautiously for a while to make sure no one was following him. Only then did he open the door and drive the car into the garage of the villa.

Then, he quickly entered the villa and glanced around the living room for a while before turning his gaze to a 60-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall. With an annoyed voice, he complained, "It's me. Haven't you already known that I'm coming? Are there no other people outside?" As he finished speaking, the LCD TV in front of Rivera immediately changed, and its surface began to vibrate violently.

Suddenly, accompanied by a faint sound of mechanical parts rubbing against each other, the LCD TV quickly fell from the wall and, before it even reached the ground, it had transformed into a fierce leopard-shaped mechanical beast with a metallic luster all over its body.

Reacting instinctively, Rivera took two steps back until the beast, resembling a jaguar, lifted its head, and with a grim expression, looked at him. Only then did Rivera shudder and stop in his tracks.

However, Rivera quickly recalled something and his face quickly adopted an expression of dissatisfaction. Once again, he looked at the ferocious leopard-shaped mechanical beast in front of him and spoke with an uncontrollable anger.

He questioned, "This is different from what we agreed upon, Your Excellency No. 2... Do you know that because of you, I'm in big trouble now?"

"Did I get you into trouble?"

The leopard-shaped mechanical beast tilted its head slightly, displaying an indifferent expression. "Riveira, you're not just talking about a few dead policemen and prosecutors, right?"

Seeing it nonchalantly discussing such a serious matter, Rivera felt his anger boiling up.

Therefore, he couldn't contain his anger any longer and exclaimed sharply, "Are you saying that it's just a few dead policemen and prosecutors? How dare you! Overnight, four high-ranking officials of the Rio de Janeiro State Public Security Department died, one of them being the police district commander in Rio de Janeiro. The dead prosecutors were all key figures sent from Brasilia to investigate the 'arms trade case'! And now, because of you, the sky in Rio is about to be torn apart. Yet, you have the audacity to tell me that it's just a few dead policemen and prosecutors?"

Rivera was on the verge of madness!

Over half a year ago, he had fallen into the hands of a certain faction because of some compromising evidence, which forced him to take the risk of importing a shipment of military weapons for them under the guise of the Brazilian government.

As a result, this matter came under the scrutiny of the US intelligence agency, the FBI, half a month ago. The Brazilian military trade company where Rivera worked also came into the view of the US government. After facing several pressures from the other party, the Brazilian government began investigating the Nebrina Trading Import and Export Company where Rivera was employed.

When he was in a state of panic, a sinister mechanical giant calling himself 'Frenzy' descended from the sky and appeared in his villa.

Although the arrival of this mechanical being claiming to be from the "Cybertron Planet" made Rivera realize that he seemed to have no way out.

However, reality turned out to be even more dangerous than he had anticipated.

'Frenzy' quickly departed, leaving behind a leopard-like mechanical beast he referred to as 'No. 2', the dangerous creature Rivera was currently facing, to assist him.

It was this mechanical monster, named No. 2, that made Rivera deeply understand the meaning of danger in the past week.

The top priority was to enlist the assistance of No. 2 in order to overcome the current perilous situation and fulfill the mission entrusted to him by its master, 'Frenzy'.

No. 2 clearly possessed remarkable intelligence, and Rivera didn't need much time to make it understand that he was under investigation by the Brazilian government. If he encountered any trouble, the mission assigned to him by 'Frenzy' would remain unaccomplished.

This mechanical creature did not disappoint him, as No. 2 quickly took action. With a single move, it infiltrated a heavily guarded prison in Rio de Janeiro, killing his associates who had already been subdued by the authorities.

This action temporarily resolved Rivera's crisis, not because there was no evidence, but rather it would be difficult for the police and prosecutors to further investigate the "arms trade case".

Rather, it bought him the crucial time he needed to start leveraging his connections.

However, Rivera's level of suspicion subsequently reached its peak.

Shortly after his trusted confidants died in prison, he himself was immediately summoned by the prosecutors.

Before long, a group of young prosecutors was dispatched from the capital, Brasília, to Rio, while the local police force openly conducted searches of his office and residence.

With each passing moment, the situation grew increasingly dire for Rivera.

He had no choice but to once again seek assistance from No. 2, hoping it could lend a hand in resolving some of his troubles.

No. 2's intervention, once again, did not disappoint him. Or rather, No. 2's intervention began to cause him a sense of panic.

To divert the attention of the police, it first created a series of onslaughts in the darkness, destroying a fortified police station, two security companies, and numerous properties belonging to local gangs. As a result, Rio was thrown into a state of heightened tension.

Subsequently, within a span of just one day, No. 2 orchestrated a series of assassinations targeting city officials. It even briefly infiltrated the training base of the Rio de Janeiro State Military Police, demolishing several armored vehicles.

If No. 2's actions were to end there, Rivera would finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Thanks to No. 2, Rio was in utter chaos. Although there were still people keeping tabs on him, it was far from being as intense as it was just a few days prior. The attention of both the police and prosecutors in Rio was no longer solely fixated on him.

Unfortunately, No. 2 didn't stop. It seemed that its previous reckless actions had stirred up the cold mark of the Decepticons hidden deep within its Core, or perhaps it still found Rio's current state not chaotic enough.

After dealing with the major drug lords hidden in the two largest slums of Rio, No. 2 finally turned its attention back to Rivera.

Just the day before yesterday, it spent the entire night committing several high-profile cases that caused a sensation throughout Rio. Not only did the investigating prosecutors sent from the capital Brasilia meet their demise at the hands of No. 2, but several high-ranking officials from the Rio police also fell victim.

Even without thinking too much, Rivera knew that he had stirred up a hornet's nest.

If only one or two prosecutors had been killed, it would have been easier to attribute it to the chaotic situation in Rio.

However, all the prosecutors died in Rio, and they were killed on the same night. When considering their mission in Rio this time, anyone with a modicum of intelligence would naturally connect it to the deaths of Rivera's confidantes and cast a suspicious gaze upon him.

It could be anticipated that the situation awaiting him would be even worse than the current one.

Regrettably, Rivera's anger only evoked a deep, low chuckle from No. 2.

It shook its head slightly and spoke in its sharp, deep electronic voice, "Rivera, your recent performance has truly disappointed me. The deadline set by our master is approaching, and yet you only care about yourself. It makes me wonder if you have chosen your priorities..."

"W-what do you mean?" Rivera's face changed dramatically upon hearing this.

No. 2 grinned at him, its sharp teeth making it appear even more sinister.

Rather than hastily responding, it turned back to look down the hallway beside the living room and said softly, "Don't hide, come out..."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of footsteps immediately emanated from the corridor.

Rivera instinctively followed No. 2's gaze towards the hallway, and soon his eyes widened in disbelief. "It's you!"
