Where’s my Iron Knight gone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vladimir, the theoretical legitimate ruler of Latovia, draped in an expensive velvet blanket, surrounded by fine wine he had never tasted and treasures he had never seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, while Vladimir was thousands of times wealthier than the average Latovian, if the average local living standard was one, then the global average had to be two or three hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vladimir was a lord yearning for power and a prosperous world, but no matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn’t break into modern society; despite all his scheming, killing, and plundering, he could only extract this much money from those impoverished wretches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes he really wished he could kill all his cunning subjects and then ask them in Hell: why are you so poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor as they were, they still ran everywhere during tax collection, wasting manpower and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the average Latovian’s living standard was one, then the wealth level of the Rocksen Group had to start at tens of billions, an incalculable level...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little benefit was enough for this so-called Duke to lick the stinking feet of foreign tycoons like a dog, just as long as the foreign rich slightly called him a \"noble aristocrat,\" he didn’t even feel like a little dog...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would even delude himself into thinking: he is the noble aristocrat, and overseas millionaires are just a group of businessmen without legitimacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the power he was born with!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he wasn’t a fool; he knew very well how powerful the Iron Knight was. His daily pleasure was playing an omniscient king in the noble surveillance room, watching civilians yield in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until one of the surveillance screens suddenly turned to static.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there seemed to be continuous thunderous sounds in the sky...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder, during the day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disconnected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long-haired guy with a big beard was welding at the table, but hearing something was wrong, he quickly rolled over on his chair—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Latovia had no prosthetics doctors; in fact, as a burgeoning industry, besides the Atlas Group’s extensive samples and training investments, there were no so-called \"wild\" prosthetics doctors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside of the Atlas Group, every prosthetics doctor was a somewhat skilled \"technology practitioner,\" like Anton Wank, who was stationed here to provide technical support for the Duke of Latovia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy looked in poor health, covered in grease, wearing shabby clothes with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, appearing very disheveled, but with penetrating eyes, especially scornful — mainly of the Duke of Latovia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now in the workshop, where he had performed hundreds of operations, becoming proficient with the technology he had received, completing the transformation of those peasant civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skills, as a result, improved significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vladimir looked at the workshop on the monitor, puzzled and a little irritable as he asked, \"What do you mean by disconnected? What line? Why is there a loud noise in the sky? Thunder during the day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s a sonic boom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sonic boom? What’s a sonic boom? Sound...explosion? What are you talking about, is it witchcraft?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anton directly ignored this ignoramus and returned to the console immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something is attacking our camp... got it... what is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anton kept pulling up cameras near the disconnection point: some were placed near the outpost, others on those guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-speed cameras could hardly capture anything but a blur—a certain fast-moving object descended from the sky, instantly taking down the gigantic Rhino Mecha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the image was blurry, judging by the outline, it was a humanoid silhouette...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matching perfectly with the target image his employer sent him: a super combat armor capable of aerial combat, using some technology the Stark Family stole from his father!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like the target we’re looking for has shown up, and it’s alive and kicking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the plebeian worth billions? I must take him down; this deal is too profitable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anton increasingly found his temporary service client absurd:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Worth billions,\" \"too profitable,\" \"plebeian\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lord had a mysterious arrogance and was incredibly foolish; in the Soviet Union, even elementary school students might be more educated than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lille was Anton’s target and enemy, even a fool knew that if you could buy this \"Doctor Doom’s\" head for billions, it might be the least loss-making project in this Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy’s worth might not be calculated anymore, but before Mei Country split, his estimated value was in the trillion-dollar range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Latovia couldn’t match a single hair of Doctor Doom, who knows where this illiterate got his confidence, still thinking the man was his \"plebeian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To rival his value, it could only be himself... himself, the destroyer of this Doctor Doom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Anton’s disdainful gaze was too obvious this time, Vladimir was directly enraged: \"What kind of expression is that?! Let me warn you, I bought my Iron Knight with real gold and silver from your master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now get me more Iron Knights, since that guy has jumped out, we must catch him! Catch my billions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will dig three feet deep, over every inch of land...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anton was completely past the point of wanting to deal with this idiot, silently commencing his final tweak while mobilizing troops...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the mobilization, he saw something interesting on the surveillance:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those hungry, trembling refugees, surprisingly, were wielding firearms, appearing outside the outpost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Death to Vladimir’s dogs!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dirty dog, I’m here for your life!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hang the Duke!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[For the King!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anton was stunned for a moment by this scene: how did these guys suddenly turn from refugees to rioters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking again, Anton saw that although these guys were wearing rags, looking haggard, their spirit was far more fervid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, they were accompanied by flags...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group, though not well-equipped, at least had AKs, had flags; a group, while still showing fear and dread, had more anger, determination, readiness to die...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought struck him: these were not refugees, and certainly not rioters...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a resistance force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you deaf!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noisy Duke was still barking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anton scratched his ear and said impatiently, \"Can’t you see for yourself? Still need to find? They’ve come knocking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Vladimir looked at the screen, his face full of disbelief: The sheep actually pointed his weapons at his soldiers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humiliation was on par with having an iron pipe swayed in his face and machine oil spilled over him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was furious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill them! Kill them all! Sell those still alive abroad like before!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anton directly cut off the communication, even locking Vladimir inside his own palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was part of the job, he could no longer stomach this brainless idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sender: Anton Wank]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Recipient: Big Boss]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Anton Wank: The person you’re looking for has arrived, but he seems to have brought those peasants to start an internal war again.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Anton Wank: Since he’s already disrupting Latovia’s internal affairs, I’m going to start peacekeeping.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Big Boss: Go ahead.]\u003C\u002Fp>",1153,"2026-06-03T12:33:36.099Z","2026-06-03T12:33:42.185Z",1,"novelbin.me","75f8cf624fa992d1aeb128774d9bb373224ad8132a898692cffe5be64cd67f46","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-773","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-771",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
