Rocot: Reborn

The look in Red Spider's eyes frightened Scorpion, but he still said, "I just think that if Roccod wants revenge, he will definitely need weapons. My weapons can definitely help..."

"Get out!" Red Spider roared, scaring Scorpion so much that he almost fell off his chair.

"Who do you think he is? Can a small character like you provide what he needs?" Starscream's tone was full of disdain and sarcasm.

The Scorpion's face turned red and white, but he didn't dare to refute. He could only watch Red Spider leave.

Starscream walked out of the bar. The city was full of lights and the noise was deafening, but she felt an unprecedented loneliness and fear. She didn't know what fate would be waiting for Rocot and Lothar...

Red Spider walked aimlessly on the street, the colorful neon lights reflected on her confused face. Roccod's words echoed in her ears. Would the man who was once full of vigor and vitality but now full of hostility really become a demon who destroys everything?

"Starscream, long time no see. Why are you standing here alone?" A frivolous voice interrupted Starscream's thoughts.

She turned around suddenly and saw a tall, scantily clad woman standing behind her, her burgundy curly hair dancing seductively in the night breeze.

"Black Widow, is that you?" Starscream frowned, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

Black Widow, a famous interstellar intelligence dealer, is known for her ruthlessness and well-informedness. No one knows her real name, and no one knows where she comes from. All they know is that she can always get all kinds of secret information and make a profit from it.

"Why, you don't welcome me?" Black Widow smiled softly, "I came to see you on purpose. I have good news to tell you."

Starscream looked at her coldly, "I'm not interested in your so-called 'good news'. You'd better not waste my time."

Black Widow put away her smile and her face turned cold. "It seems that you don't care about Rocot at all. I thought you would want to know where he is and what he is doing now."

Starscream's pupils shrank suddenly, "Do you know where he is?"

"Of course, I am the all-knowing Black Widow." Black Widow raised her chin proudly, "But if you want to know the news, you have to pay a price."

Starscream took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"It's simple. I want you to do me a small favor." Black Widow leaned close to Starscream and whispered in her ear, "I want you to help me kill someone."

Starscream's face changed, "Murder? Are you crazy?"

"Why, you don't dare?" Black Widow looked at her provocatively, "Aren't you known as the most cold-blooded killer in the galaxy? Killing a person should be a piece of cake for you, right?"

Red Spider fell silent. Black Widow's words were like a sharp knife, piercing the softest part of her heart. She was once the most feared killer in the galaxy, but that was all in the past. Ever since she met Roccod, she had retired and wanted to live a peaceful life.

"Why, are you still hesitating?" Black Widow sneered, "Are you in love with that man named Roccod?"

Starscream raised his head suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "You'd better watch your mouth!"

"It seems that what I said was right." Black Widow was not intimidated by Starscream's anger at all. Instead, she became even more unscrupulous. "For a man, you actually gave up the opportunity to become a superior person. How stupid!"

Starscream clenched her fists, her nails dug deep into her flesh, the intense pain allowed her to maintain her last bit of rationality. She couldn't be angered by Black Widow's words, she had to stay calm, for Roccod and for herself.

"Tell me, who do you want to kill?" Starscream's voice was as cold as ice, as if it was the cold wind from hell.

Black Widow smiled triumphantly, she knew that Starscream had taken the bait.

"The person I want you to kill is..."

"The person I want you to kill is... Rocot." Black Widow spoke word by word, with a barely perceptible hint of viciousness in her tone.

Starscream was struck by lightning, and stood there in a daze, as if time had stopped. "What... did you say?" She couldn't believe her ears, wondering if she was hallucinating.

Black Widow looked at Starscream's shocked expression, her heart filled with twisted pleasure. "Why, are you surprised? Don't you love him? For him, you even gave up the chance to become a superior person. Now, it's time for you to prove your love."

"You're crazy! How could I possibly kill him!" Starscream finally came to his senses and roared angrily.

"Why, you can't do it?" Black Widow looked at her provocatively. "That's right. How can a woman like you who is blinded by love understand that in this world, only power and interests are eternal. Love is nothing but a passing cloud."

Starscream took a deep breath, trying to restrain the urge to tear the woman in front of him to pieces. "Tell me, what do you want to do?" She knew that Black Widow would not ask her to kill Rocot for no reason. There must be some conspiracy behind this.

Black Widow walked up to Starscream, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I know Roccod is looking for something now, something that can bring him back to his peak. And I know where that thing is."

Starscream's pupils shrank suddenly. She knew what Rocot was looking for. It was the key to his revenge and the eternal pain in his heart. "What do you want to say?"

Black Widow straightened up, a sly smile on her lips. "I can help you find Rocot, and I can help you get that thing, but in exchange, you have to kill him. How about this deal, do you want to do it?"

Red Spider fell silent, Black Widow's words echoed in her mind, tempting her and torturing her. On one side was the man she loved deeply, and on the other side were her former dreams and ambitions. How should she choose?

"I know what you are hesitating about." Black Widow seemed to see through Red Spider's mind, "You think you love him, but does he love you? He is just using you. Think about it, has he ever been sincere to you? Has he told you his plan? What does he regard you as? A pawn or a plaything?"

The words of the Black Widow were like the tongue of a poisonous snake, piercing the heart of Red Spider with every word. Yes, there always seemed to be a layer between Rocot and her. He was gentle to her, but he never opened his heart to her; he made promises to her, but he never fulfilled his promise.

"Stop deceiving yourself, Red Spider." Black Widow's voice was like the whisper of a devil, tempting her to go to the abyss. "Kill him and get everything you want, power, status, wealth, you can have it all. What are you still hesitating about? Do you really want to give up everything that is within your reach for a man who doesn't love you?"

Starscream closed her eyes, and the face of Rocot appeared in her mind, his gentleness, his dominance, his determination, his sadness... Everything flashed before her eyes like a movie.

"I..." Starscream spoke with difficulty, his voice terribly hoarse.
