Natasha’s arm turned into a sharp blade and cut through Tucker’s head, sending it flying.
“Kyaaa!” Sasha screamed in horror.
Natasha didn’t stop there. She went straight for Tucker’s core that was in the chest.
“Stop,” Shane said.
Natasha stopped inches away from the core.
Sasha was shivering and trembling.
Destroying the core would mean the same as destroying the soul, and Tucker would be irrecoverable.
It would be a huge loss for her, and her parents might never buy her another robot again. Her career as a Keeper would end before it even began.
“It’s very easy to destroy it,” Shane said. “But I don’t want to see you cry… anywhere outside the bed. I hope you’ll understand my feelings and surrender yourself to me sooner or later.”
Saying that, Shane walked away. Natasha followed him quietly while swaying her hips to accentuate her cold sexiness. She was wearing a knight’s armor and cape, and she looked very intimidating.
The other customers whispered among themselves.
“It’s going to cost her a lot of money to get that head reattached.”
“Poor girl.”
“Who’s that guy, though?”
“He doesn’t even fear security, so he must be from a rich family.”
Sasha could hear their words, but she couldn’t say anything.
Shane was indeed from a rich family. Even after what he did, she would not dare raise a complaint against him.
Sasha made a phone call to the transport agency.
They came in a few minutes and packed Tucker and delivered him to her home.
Later that night.
At the dining table, Sasha talked with her parents and told them that Tucker passed the preliminary test. They were very happy to hear that, and they congratulated her.
But then she told them how Shane cut Tucker’s head.
It upset her parents very much.
After thinking about it, her father said, “Don’t worry. I will take a loan, and we’ll get it fixed.”
“Thank you, Dad!” She gave him five kisses. “You’re the best!”
“You need to win at least a few games in the robot wars,” her mother told Sasha.”Or your father will become a laughing stock in his office.”
The Circuit was the official term, but the public generally referred to these competitions between robots as just robot wars.
“Leave it to me, Mom,” Sasha said. “I will train Tucker and win the games. I’ll upgrade him without requiring our family’s money.”
“Hahaha, if that happens, it’d be great,” her parents laughed.
Later that night.
Sasha came to her room and checked on Tucker. He was completely dead. Without the brain connecting to the body, he was not able to work.
“Higher grade robots are able to work even when their heads are separated. I wonder if I can ever become an A-rank Keeper.”
Just like robots were given grades from F to SSS, the masters of robots were called Keepers, and they were given ranks from F to SSS.
Direct family members of rankers from A or higher were paid stipend by the WKG: World Keeper Group.
Sasha’s dream was also to become an A-rank Keeper, so that her parents could receive a monthly stipend of at least 100,000 nex for as long as Sasha was in service.
Just as Sasha was about to sleep, she received a phone call.
It was Shane’s number.
She reluctantly answered it.
“Do you want me to pay for your robot?” Shane asked.
Sasha was silent.
“If you let me fuck you, I will give you much more than you can imagine,” Shane said.
“I told you that I’m not a whore,” Sasha blurted. “I can repair my robot myself.”
“Sure. Go on. I’ll just destroy it again when we meet again.”
The call ended.
“This fucker!” Sasha almost threw her device on the floor. “I have to make Tucker stronger fast.”
The very next morning, Sasha spent 15,000 Nex.
Nex was the common currency of the world.
A normal family of four would need 2000 Nex per month.
Sasha’s monthly rent for staying on the 50th floor of a skyscraper cost her nearly 4000 Nex.
And the price Sasha’s father paid the authorities to buy an X-grade robot was 25,000 Nex.
Sasha took Tucker to a private training ground where she had booked an entire hall for five days.
“Your first match is in five days,” Sasha said. “You will have to practice hard until then. You saw what happened when Shane’s robot attacked you, right? They are going to come after us again. And we have to get stronger so we can’t let that scene repeat again.” She almost cried because the real reason was that she couldn’t afford to have Tucker repaired again.
Sasha began to show him some close combat moves and techniques.
Tucker just observed.
But Tuckdore was bored.
“She’s moving like a frog lost in a well, making the same movements again and again,” Tuckdore thought. “Five days, huh… I’ll have to use the charging time to increase my soul strength so I can gain better control over this machine. The progress is abysmally slow. But it will be interesting to see how far this junk body can take me.”

CHAPTER 61
Sasha’s eyes could track their movements from a distance.She could see that Devon was able to keep up with the frog robot’s speed, but not comfortably.She couldn’t tell if Devon could win.And this made her heart beat faster.Devon blocked another sharp attack.The frog robot smirked. “Is blocking all you can do?”Devon’s jaw tightened.The frog robot never swung twice from the same angle. One slash flowed into a thrust. The thrust became a feint. The feint became a pommel strike.Every movement invited a response, only to punish it.If Devon was a newbie, he would have long been slayed by the frog robot’s sword.“I killed bears and wolves, but I have never swung my swords at frogs,” Devon said. “So, it’s hard to think of attacking a frog that lives and dies in a pond.”The frog robot grinned. “My master will love it if I beat the crap out of you.”“Then why don’t you try doing it?” Devon pushed the opponent back with brute force, then his sword carved a powerful diagonal arc.The
CHAPTER 60
“You want Devon?” Sasha couldn’t believe what her mother just said. “Did I hear it correctly?”“Yes, my little darling,” Eureka smiled. “Now that Devon has become a certified Weapon Trainer, he doesn’t need to chase a career in the Circuit. A few good wins is all he needs. Once he enters the E-grade, he can start teaching. Devon will impart his knowledge to the youngins. The more popular he gets, the richer we get.”“I’m not giving you Devon,” Sasha quickly said, “at least not yet.”“How long should I wait?” Eureka asked.“Until I find an alternate robot for Devon,” Sasha’s voice grew a bit dull and thick. After all, she knew that she got lucky while choosing Devon. And she might not get such a talented robot again.“You have until he enters the E-grade,” Eureka told her. “If you want, your dad and I will help arrange the money for you to buy another F-rank robot.”Sasha dipped her chin, though her expression said otherwise.Eureka and David both continued talking with Devon, acting l
CHAPTER 59
“Wake the fuck up, Sasha.” A customized voice message rang like an alarm. “You have a circuit match to attend this evening.”Sasha opened her eyes late in the afternoon because she had slept in the morning.Devon had a fight scheduled today.So she lazily got off the bed, washed her face and walked out of the room.The hall was full of guests, mostly friends of her parents, dancing and clapping and cheering.Many women surrounded Devon and were chatting, almost flirting with him, touching his shoulders and arms and feeling him.Sasha couldn’t believe what she was seeing.With just one trainer certificate, Devon’s status was elevated in not just the society but in her own home.Even her own parents were treating him like he was their biological son.She did not like that.What’s more, yesterday, Devon was waiting at her door and served her needs. Today, he was busy chatting with her mom’s friends.“How many girlfriends did you have in your past life, Devon?” one woman asked.“We did no
CHAPTER 58
Devon dropped all four old men at their respective homes.They all had robot maids at home, who took care of them afterward.Sasha and Devon then headed home in a parrot vehicle.“Didn’t those old men have their own personal robots?” Devon asked. “So why did they ask for our assistance?”“Because they can,” Sasha said. “They have some kind of deal with our guild. Today, we picked them up from the bar. Tomorrow, someone else will have to help them in some other way at some other place. Think of it as having a guild to help you whenever you need something done. Robots at home are not good at everything. They have limited capabilities. Some of them don’t even have souls within them.”Devon nodded in understanding.This was like hiring an escort group even though he already had his own personal cart and bodyguards.This was the power of money.“Oh, wait, I forgot about the weapon trainer exam,” Sasha put her arm around Devon’s shoulders. “Congratulations. You pulled it off.”“How did you
CHAPTER 57
It took Devon nine hours to finish the job.The garden was sparkling clean. The pigs and the birds were caught and transported away.Devon’s battery was now low after doing continuous work.“How much did we earn from this mission?” he asked Sasha.“100 nex,” she replied.“Only 100?” Devon was shocked.“You get five to ten nex per hour of work in most fields,” Sasha said. “We got 100 nex within one night because we’re members of the Black Rose guild.”“If we weren’t members of this guild, we would have received less money, huh.”“Yep.”“Can we go home now? I think I need some time off, Lady Sasha.”“Actually, I took another mission,” Sasha said, startling him.“A-Another mission?”“It’s just dropping a group of elderly citizens home,” Sasha said. “They are all drunk, so we need to make sure they get home safely.”“Why did they drink so much they couldn't even get home?”“We don’t ask questions. We only solve them in this field,” Sasha retorted.Afterward, they went to the location shar
CHAPTER 56
To Devon’s surprise, the judges advised him to not take the spear exam.“There are trainers who teach the sword, and there are trainers who teach the spear, but not both even if they know how to wield both the sword and the spear,” one of the judges said. “If you start teaching both, you are going to make enemies out of both sides. And it’s also hard for you to attract students of the sword path or the spear path in particular.”Devon wasn’t satisfied by their response. “It wouldn’t hurt to have the certificate, so I will take the spear exam.”“No, you won’t,” Eureka intervened with a smile. She then greeted the judges.Devon asked her why he couldn’t take the spear test, but she didn’t even answer him as the judges were in the front.“If your owner doesn’t want you to take the exam, then you shouldn’t,” the judges said.Afterward, Devon was given the Sword Trainer certificate. And he was also given a one-star sword badge that had his name and his master’s name engraved on it.He gave
