Chapter 42: CH: 42 Crosshairs Submission
[Chapter: 42 Crosshairs Submission]
Both Tessa and Cade stared at Crosshairs on the ground. "What happened? He defeated the Transformers. He really defeated the Transformers?!"
"This monster." Tessa's eyes flashed with excitement.
Hound, Bumblebee, and Drift all looked at all this, shocked. "Drift, did he lose to a human? Am I seeing things?" Bumblebee took Drift's hand and wiped his eyes with it.
"Asshole, use your own hand." Drift pulled his hand away.
Hound took a deep breath. "Optimus, you were right; he is no ordinary human."
"That is why, be careful around him. Now then, let's go." Optimus went towards Crosshairs.
The steel body of Crosshairs was no longer slipping on the ground and was lying there, staying still. The place holding his mouth was broken, and electric sparks were still flashing. A green kind of oil was flowing from it while he was standing up.
"You lost." William walked towards Crosshairs. "According to our bet, you will now take orders from me."
"I didn't lose!" Crosshairs shouted. Losing to a human was unacceptable for his pride.
William said with a sneer, "You haven't lost. The outer iron armor of your mouth and chest has been broken. As long as I hit it with the same force a few more times, it will break, and you will surely die. That is quite easy for me."
"William, leave him," Optimus Prime and Bumblebee came over.
William spread his hands. "I'm just taking my booty. Is there any problem?"
"Crosshairs is not your loot," Optimus said with majesty in his voice, one that belonged to the leader of a race.
"What you said doesn't matter. I only know that I won. He lost. From the moment he fought with me, the bet had officially taken effect and started," William's voice came with a hint of chill.
Crosshairs slowly stood up, watching Optimus, and then said, "I lost. I didn't expect to lose at the hands of a human. I may be unwilling, but I'm part of the great Autobot. It was a loss for me. You are called William, right? From now on, I will obey you."
"Crosshairs," Optimus said.
Hound pointed at William with a big machine gun. "You dare make an Autobot take orders from you? What if I kill you right here?"
"You can try," William said indifferently.
Crosshairs shouted, "You all stop! This is my own decision. Since I lost, I will have to bear the consequences of losing."
Optimus looked at Crosshairs for a while and sighed. "Since this is your own decision, then it's settled. William, you have to be kind to Crosshairs."
"Leader!" cried Hound and Bumblebee.
Optimus looked at the sky. "Freedom is the right of every Cybertronian. Although I am the leader of the Autobots, I cannot stop the freedom of Cybertronians."
"Optimus, you can rest assured. Since Crosshairs is now with me, then I will definitely not let him suffer. Hahaha!" William laughed, hitting the air with his fist, one of his dreams of having a transforming car coming true.
Hound looked at William with a tilted head. "This guy looks very unreliable. Are you sure you want to follow him? If not, let's kill him together."
There was a hint of evil in William's eyes, and he smiled lightly. "Hound, you will regret this sentence you said today." He would absolutely torture this bastard for not knowing when to keep his mouth shut.
"I gambled, and I lost. This is my pride and dignity as a knight. You don't need to say any more."
"Okay." The Autobots looked helpless.
Tessa and Cade came over. Cade glanced at Crosshairs. "He is now working for you, and is yours?" Cade did not know how to describe it and said incredulously.
"No, he is now my partner," William said with a serious face.
Tessa looked at William's expression and wanted to say a few words.
William lifted his head. "Don't you think this is very suitable for my identity? I'm such a great and kind-hearted man, don't you think this will look good with me? So from now on, we will both be together."
"Stop." Tessa snorted disdainfully; she couldn't hear anything more narcissistic from this guy anymore.
William looked at Tessa. "Tessa, you should stop talking."
Tessa's body shrank, and she didn't know why she felt a little fear of this monster.
"Hey, come on, I just said to stop talking, and you're acting like a monster trying to eat you. I didn't think you were afraid of me after I helped you so much." William asked, his face showing helplessness.
"Stop teasing her," Cade called.
William said indifferently, "Uncle, your daughter is already old enough; you don't have to worry too much."
"This is my daughter. And she is only 17 years old!" Cade called.
Optimus ignored the nonsensical argument of William and asked, "Do you have any information on our companions?"
"No, we are the only four," Drift shook his head.
"Humans want to kill us one by one," Crosshairs continued.
Hound shook his head. "Plus you, it's just us."
"As your life and death were unknown, Bumblebee has taken over the command, but he does not have the appearance of a leader nor its charisma at all. He is like a child playing house." Drift pointed at Bee with a sword.
Hound walked towards Drift and said unpleasantly, "This kid can still beat you up and teach you about manners." Bee slammed into Drift, and sparks splattered.
Drift was not standing still either. He waved the sword and slashed at Bee. He turned around and placed the sword holder on Bee's neck.
"Haha, dueling again." Hound laughed.
Optimus called out, "Autobots, stop fighting and stand together. Confinement is pursuing us, and humans are attacking us. We must understand why."
William stopped paying attention to the non-stop nonsense of Cade and smiled. "Optimus, do you want a reason? There may be a way to find something here." William took out the aerial camera.
