Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

Old Scott was no fool; even with disaster looming, he only managed an awkward laugh in his hoarse voice. He said calmly, "Ah~ haha... He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet, hahaha. I only have one question, sir, who betrayed me?"

The disciplinary officer said coldly, "This is an internal report, and we cannot keep it confidential."

Old Scott was completely baffled. He scratched his head, his voice drawing out longer than his lifespan: "An internal whistleblower... most of the people involved in this matter either have no motive or no evidence... who could it be?"

Young Scott, overcome with filial piety, cleared his father's name: "Dad, it was me. I betrayed you."

[Star: Huh?!]

[March 7th: Huh?!]

[Potio: Holy crap! What kind of plot twist is this?!]

Ordinary people in the galaxy experience brain freezes, while intelligent people's eyelids tremble.

[Star: I say, you two—though I don't know if you're still the two of you—didn't you agree to go along with each other and be good sons to Dad? I love Dad the most…did Dog say that? How come you've turned on your father so suddenly? Who just said we weren't allowed to insult our father?]

[Fireworks: You're afraid that if others insult you, you won't be able to maximize your benefits, right? So you like your father the most because he can refine the promotion pill? Wow, that's impressive. I have to think for two days before I can even change my livestream suit.]

[Pearl: Lyndon Scott? His greed for surplus value is astounding. Give him a wet sponge, and he can squeeze it dryer than the sand in the desert.]

[Fake photo: Even capitalists would say it's ruthless?]

[Topa: More than that.]

The ten men from Shixin looked at each other and burst into laughter.

I originally thought that for someone like Scott, money was just a leash, something that would make him willingly keep himself tied up and become the company's dog.

Surprisingly, he found another use for it. He used the dog leash as a rope hanging from a cliff, and without even using his hands, he just bit it and climbed up!

Emerald looked at the back of the young man Scott in the video, her eyes filled with an indescribable mix of mockery and pity.

"However, this wolfish greed, taken to the extreme, can't necessarily be considered a flaw in investing. This meticulous, uncompromising style, where he won't divulge anything even once, might actually have a future. But..."

She took a sip of red wine, her lips becoming even more alluring: "Those filled with desire will inevitably sell themselves into slavery to desire."

[Tingyun: What goes around comes around. Old Scott highly praised the lone wolf survival strategy, so it's only natural that he's suffering the consequences. He must be filled with regret, right?]

[Star: Congratulations, Pam! Let's have some juice to celebrate, let's drink until we drop!]

[Tail: Hahaha, that's fucking awesome! Come on, old Scott, let's see how you stay so proud now. Let me see your regretful expression as you wish you could go back decades and shoot that kid against the wall!]

Upon learning that his son had stabbed him in the back, old Scott turned around shakily, his finger trembling as he pointed at Scott.

"Oh~~ What a loving father and filial son!" Tail's smile gradually turned wicked: "Yay haha~~ I'm about to cry, hahaha."

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! I'm so proud of you~ Awoooooo..." came the voice, as if a ninety-year-old man had just glanced at the women's bathhouse and his blood pressure had skyrocketed to the point of near death.

"Pfft, hahaha~~" Tom laughed as his tail was exposed: "...I give up."

With just one sentence, all the audience members choked on their words, and after a three-second pause, they finally laughed with relief.

[Star: Pfft!!! Ahem... I was wrong, I shouldn't have opened the juice halfway through. Common sense is too fragile in front of Lone Wolf.]

Xing was convinced; she was truly convinced. Compared to this father and son, she was practically as old-fashioned as Dan Heng and Ren.

After all, compared to 100 million, 10,000 and 1, 2, 3, 4 are visually indistinguishable.

There's no work to do, I really have no work to do!

[March 7th: No, are you even human? Is this something normal human beings would say during communication?]

[Feixiao: Could it be that my lunar mania has flared up for no reason? Otherwise, how could I be having this kind of "hallucination"?]

[Black Tower: I'm starting to suspect this too. This is a record from one of my predecessor's simulation experiments. After all, there's a cycle of reincarnation in Onpharos, where creatures consider killing each other the highest form of goodwill. This is no exception.]

"Dad..." Scott cried out in tears.

Old Scott was in high spirits, a stark contrast to those terrified losers about to be imprisoned. Instead, he seemed as proud and excited as an old farmer who had seen his son get into the best university in the universe.

His eyes welled with tears, and he even added, "Step over me to climb to higher places! Scott, you are the pride of the Scott family, a true lone wolf!"

"Daddy, I'm so proud of you! ↓ Aww↺!"

"Father!!!" Scott cried out in despair, "I will heed your teachings."

Scott's dramatic, trembling voice captivated everyone's hearts, and his genuine emotions made the scene even more thunderous, leaving all the audience stunned and speechless.

[Scott: Awwwww~~ Even though so many years have passed, I still can't help but cry whenever I recall that scene, the heartbreaking moment when my father and I parted in tears. Father! Quack~!]

[Tail: Holy shit. Scott, you're disgusting! 凸(艹皿艹)]

His tail felt like it was about to split open. What had gotten into him to take on such a stupid job? He'd rather have just burned Scott into an idiot!

[Star: Hehehehehe... What a touching scene of fatherly love and filial piety, wonderful, wonderful... What a pair of crazy lunatics! But since you two are so...fatherly love and filial piety, then let me both grieve for you and congratulate you. Hey, I really didn't expect that this lousy phrase could actually be so fitting to reality!]

Xing's forehead veins throbbed. It was too early; he'd said too soon that he didn't have anything to do.

On the one hand, they can betray each other without hesitation when it's profitable, sending their loved ones to prison; on the other hand, they show genuine emotion, cheering for each other's success, even to the point of tears. Moreover, there's no resentment between them, a deep father-son bond...

Are they crazy?!

What kind of bizarre thought process is this? One is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit?

In comparison, the conspiracies and assassinations that this father and son committed seem all too normal.

They really are...

[Star: What a pair of smiling tigers, two black sharks!]

[That Summer: Heh, your left and right brain brain-versus-right brain technique is quite well-practiced. Even that learned scholar would probably call it authentic.]

Black Tower Space Station.

In the mechanical eyes of Screw Gum, the torrent of data suddenly became chaotic for a moment.

The Black Tower seemed to be able to spot a circular arrow spinning in that fleeting moment.

[ScrewGumm: Collected. Another example of evidence that omnics can never replace humans has been found.]
