The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3641

Chapter 3641 Controversial Incident

On that day, a unique incident took place on Davute VII.

In a radius of several kilometers around an expert mech that the authorities only reluctantly permitted to operate on the surface, the Everchanger turned itself into a vessel for Vulcan's mighty prestige.

The green mech currently emanated a powerful bronze corona as its stupendously amplified glow stretched across dozens of city blocks!

Tens of thousands of residents, workers, visitors and professionals all paused what they were doing as the Everchanger's ridiculously wide glow encompassed them all without any restraint.

In truth, Venerable Joshua had the option of limiting the angle and range of his expert mech's glow so that it only affected the site of the meeting.

However, Ves ordered him to go full blast, so that was exactly what he did. The response from the local authorities was not in his consideration. That was the responsibility of the patriarch and the rest of the clan.

While Vulcan's glow had an effect on many different people, it exerted its greatest effect on those with artistic or engineering backgrounds.

The mech designers, visual artists, fashion designers, weaponsmiths and other people who created works for a living all entered into a creative overdrive.

They all came up with brand-new ideas or viewed their existing ones in a new light. Although Vulcan's amplified glow wasn't as effective as getting hit on the head with the Hammer of Brilliance, it was still a completely life-changing experience to the people who never encountered it before, let alone any other glow!

Ves grinned as he saw how deeply the chief ship designer and the chief shipbuilder had become affected by the Everchanger's actions.

Before this point, he actually doubted whether this harebrained scheme could actually work.

This was why Ves felt it was important to prep Karina Murphy and Melaia Murphy beforehand by addressing them in person. By bringing up certain keywords such as creation, innovation and design, he guided their thoughts in a space where they became primed to embrace Vulcan's glow.

Right now, it looked as if his efforts had paid out. Whereas Gelly Murphy looked irked as she exerted her firm will that she had honed for many decades as the head of Murphy & Sons, her daughters were not as resistant.

In fact, even if they possessed the mental fortitude to disregard Vulcan's influence, they didn't want to get rid of it at all. Even though the effect was already starting to temper now that they harvested the most immediate benefits the glow, they still felt creatively inspired the longer they remained in this condition.

"Sir!" Joshua transmitted to Ves' implant. "The local security forces have drummed up their mechs. They're on their way and they're already demanding me to cease my operation. I'll have to stop what I'm doing."

"It's okay." Ves transmitted back. "You've done your job. Don't resist but don't let the authorities take you away. Wait for my people to handle this matter. You've done no harm today. In fact, it's quite the opposite. You have helped many people in the Commercial District."

He quickly sent a few messages to his clan to urge them to handle the aftermath of his radical plan.

Meanwhile, the Everchanger finally retracted its powerful, wide-ranging glow. A void seemed to have appeared in the Commercial District as many different people returned to normality.

"What happened?"

"It's an alien attack! We almost got mind-wiped by the space lizards!"

"This isn't an attack. This is a gift!"

"Why did it stop?! I just had the greatest idea!"

The Everchanger's stunt only lasted for a relatively short amount of time, but the impact it had on all of those people was enormous!

Many people became lost. Others were afraid. A portion of them had benefited from Vulcan's influence and wanted more!

Regardless of their reactions, it was undeniable that this remarkable exposure had changed their lives. Whether it was for the better was still questionable.

The governing powers who reigned over Davute VII received conflicting reports and were reluctant to make any reckless decisions. It was no joke to engage in hostilities against an apparently-powerful expert mech in a populated area!

While confusion continued to spread outside, Ves continually disregarded Gelly Murphy's mounting apoplexy and only directed his attention to the two key figures that he had tried to woo with his risky stunt.

"...This is an outrage!" Madame Gelly Murphy shrieked as she did not take the earlier disruption well! "Miss Tyana Delcrost was completely correct about you and your clan! You are nothing but ruffians and vagabonds with delusions of greatness! I want each of you to disappear from my sight and never show up in my vicinity again! You can completely forget about ordering any ship from my company for the rest of your clan's existence! Even if my shipyard is starved of orders, I will not even sell you a single shuttle!"

"Mother! Stop for a moment." Karina Murphy finally said as she raised her hand against the CEO of Murphy & Sons.

This time, Gelly Murphy directed her outrage towards her oldest daughter.

"Karina! You cannot possibly believe in this man, do you?! He has tried to manipulate you into abandoning our best chance at restoring our shipyard. Do not fall for his tricks!"

"Mother, listen to Karina." Melaia Murphy backed up her sister rather than her mother in this instance. "We have always held doubts about ZZR Industries, but we didn't voice them because you were in charge."

"If you acknowledge that I am in charge, then why are you working against me? You are showing disunity in front of outsiders!"
