Chapter 1698: Chapter 1596: Finally, I Have My Own Power

"Remake various equipment." Once some robots were manufactured and could take orders from the AI, Peter also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the foundation was there, the next step was to produce various pieces of equipment that met his own needs.

Peter had prepared for this long ago. After spending one hundred million, parts custom-ordered from around the world started arriving continuously in the village.

Although the roads were not very good, as long as one could afford to spend the money, the speed of the deliveries was not slow.

This time, for his own power, Peter didn’t want to take it slow anymore. The technology of hackers was too easy to breach the current Network, and the US Dollars Peter had stolen from various black households around the world were increasing. He used all of it to purchase the materials he needed.

Seeing Peter come out, Saul Evans hurried up and said, "CEO Wang, we have materials coming in every day now, and I’m worried about security with so much stuff. I can’t keep an eye on it all by myself."

"Hmm, I’ll talk to the village chief about it. For now, let’s get some people from the village to help you out until things settle down a bit."

Saul Evans then nodded and said, "Although our village is a bit secluded, with so many materials arriving, we still need to be mindful of our defenses. The place is just too big for one person to cover."

The matter was quickly settled. With the promise of 100 dollars a day, the village chief personally led a team, and almost all the able-bodied men from the village showed up. Their job was to guard in shifts outside the Enclosure Wall, and the village chief even directed them to set up tents as lookout posts.

Seeing how earnestly the villagers took their duty, Peter chuckled to himself. In reality, there was no need for guards; with the AI in charge and robots inside, any intruders would be quickly apprehended. However, Peter was just putting on a show, and after all, it was a way to give everyone some extra income.

When he arrived home, his parents were both there. Russell Williams worriedly said, "Peter, what exactly are you doing? Everyone is talking. You’ve fenced off such a large area, but you’re not hiring anyone; we have no idea what you’re up to."

"Yeah, I just can’t make heads or tails of it."

"I’m working on a high-tech project, currently manufacturing robots. Once the robots are made, what do I need workers for? The robots will do everything."

"What?"

Both parents looked at their son in shock. They knew a little about robots, but the idea that their son had been making robots behind closed doors for a few days was completely unexpected.

"Didn’t you say you were building a Flying Car?"

"I will build the Flying Car, but the conditions aren’t right yet. I need to set up the factory first. Without robots, I can’t build it."

The elderly couple finally relaxed, but they still felt puzzled that their son could actually make robots.

"Don’t tell anyone about this just yet. I’ll announce it to the public once everything is ready."

Russell Williams nodded vigorously and said, "Alright, you just handle it."

He didn’t want to interfere in his son’s affairs anymore; his son was becoming increasingly incomprehensible to him.

After eating something at home, Peter re-entered the factory.

Once the door was closed, it was entirely Peter’s domain.

Sitting there, watching the robots assemble the parts he had designed, Peter nodded to himself. This was only the first step; he had to buy from the outside for now. But once he got some equipment up and running, he’d be able to make the parts he needed himself. Then, an entirely new production line would come into existence.

Peter was also cautious about the Collins Clan. Although the AI was doing surveillance, Peter was still worried about potential new developments. Thus, for Peter, having an Army in his hands now was key. He didn’t need this Army to be very strong, just strong enough to protect his Family Members.

Peter wasn’t concerned about his own safety; there wasn’t much that could destroy his body. The key was his family. Peter was very worried that the other side, in desperation, would make a drastic move.

Over this period, there had been a sort of standoff between Peter and the Collins Clan, with both sides consciously avoiding provoking each other.

Actually, the Collins Clan was keeping an eye on Peter’s situation. The news of Peter continuously purchasing materials from all over the world also reached the Collins Clan.

Seeing that Peter’s company was only hiring a few people for the mobile game company, but none for the village, they were still puzzled. However, after Elder Collins saw the cell phone his son brought back, he now sternly ordered his family not to provoke Peter.

Now, the Collins Clan spoke with extreme caution. They entered an empty room, not bringing in any cell phones, and checked themselves thoroughly before daring to speak, fearing Peter might get a hold of their conversation.

Waylon Collins looked at his three sons and asked, "Is it true that no one has been entering his place?"

George Collins replied, "There really aren’t any workers going in, just some villagers guarding the outside of the Enclosure Wall."

"Weird, wasn’t he supposed to build a car? Why hasn’t he done it?" Elijah Collins expressed his puzzlement.

Jaxon Collins snorted and said, "Have we, the Collins Clan, been threatened by him like this?"

"What do you suggest we do? Do you have a plan?" Elijah Collins was unhappy. If it weren’t for Jaxon Collins offending Peter, the Collins Clan wouldn’t be in its current threatened state. Most importantly, despite their Great Power, they really had no means to counteract.

"Just find someone to take him out!" Jaxon Collins said fiercely.

With a snort, Waylon Collins said, "Kill him, and our Collins Clan is done for!"

"Could it be that he’s just bluffing and doesn’t have the capability?" Elijah Collins asked.

Shaking his head, Waylon Collins said helplessly, "Let’s wait and see what he’s doing. I feel like he must be working on something inside, otherwise, he wouldn’t have bought so much. Dad, I’ve had someone calculate it secretly; he’s purchased so much, a lot of it high-precision products, and from all over the world, too. Just the purchase money alone is not a small amount. Should we report this to The Higher-Ups and let the nation deal with him?"

Waylon Collins shook his head and said, "You think the nation doesn’t know about his purchases? Let’s not interfere. Let’s just watch. If the nation moves against him, in case something happens, we can just claim we were threatened by him. We mustn’t make any moves right now."
