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

Scott looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before saying seriously, "Listen, little one, if anything happens here, you'd better hide yourself."

"Your little thing is so inconspicuous that no one will notice it."

"Then, no matter who contacts you, you absolutely cannot show up. If you do, you will die."

Death? Hayek was immediately panicked: "Mr. Scott, what do you mean...?"

"Shut up!" Scott seemed to still be out of control, clearly having suffered a major shock. "Don't interrupt me when I'm talking, and listen to me properly."

"I've gotten myself into serious trouble with your *foul-mouthed* gang. With your low IQ, you can't possibly figure out who's been bribed, so no matter who contacts you, don't show up."

He took a deep breath and said slowly and deliberately, through gritted teeth, "Trust no one except the crew of the Star Train."

[Qingque: It seems that entrusting Hayek with this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision? He probably anticipated his own death, but gave up the struggle and focused all his efforts on ensuring the information was successfully transmitted? Quite decisive. Speaking of which, the invisible hand… low intelligence… what is this alluding to?]

[Star: You have good taste! I won't call you "Dog" anymore.]

[Hanabi: Hmm~~~ I've said this many times, but seeing this still makes me want to say... What is trust? This is trust! Just like the trembling terrorist and his hostages facing a "kill them all" rescue! He really... I'm crying my eyes out.]

[Fake photo: This is so good, this one is good too, I can ship them all!]

[March 7th: I can't budge it, I absolutely can't budge it!]

When the Star Train was mentioned, Scott crossed his arms, tilted his head 45 degrees to the upper left, and his expression conveyed his psychological advantage over the train. But there was also a subtle, perhaps even peculiar, sense of mutual respect between them.

"Because these train drivers are so foul-mouthed, a bunch of incredibly stubborn mules, no one can bribe them."

[Star: I *swear* on the train, I deserve to call you a dog.]

Xing was speechless. At a time like this, he still had to say something sarcastic? What was wrong with this guy? He had just wanted to show him some respect, and in the blink of an eye, he had shattered his good intentions.

[Star: Can't you speak properly? That's called having good character and being upright!]

[Fireworks: Little Gray, don't you feel guilty saying that?]

[Firefly: Of course, that's how stars are! They're just a little careless at times.]

"I don't understand..." Hayek was apprehensive; Scott's emotional turmoil today had exceeded his expectations. At his level, he couldn't even offer a modicum of emotional support.

What on earth happened?!

Scott said earnestly, "You don't need to understand. Just remember one thing—"

"That bunch of swearers on the Star Train is your only way out."

"You probably know more about what happened afterward than I do."

"The three members of the Dawn Team stormed into the Common Wish Gang and began a killing spree. Following Mr. Scott's instructions, I went into hiding and never showed myself again."

Crimson Flame, Dawn, and Azure Wing walked through the hall, leaving behind the corpses of a group of gang underlings.

Hayek paused, then produced a cell phone out of thin air and said solemnly, "But before that, I did one more thing... Before I completely hid, I backed up the surveillance footage from that day to my personal device."

"Please accept this, although I don't know if it will be of any help to you..."

"Very helpful, you did a great job." Tingyun looked sorrowful: "The mastermind deleted the surveillance footage from that day, but they didn't know you had secretly kept a copy."

Xing's eyes burned with determination: "We cannot betray Scott's trust."

"His dislike for you doesn't mean he doesn't approve of you," Silver Wolf remarked with feeling. "Just like how I really dislike the Black Tower... wait, that's not a very polite example."

[Black Tower: I think it's quite polite. I believe very few people would dare to compare themselves to Scott.]

[Silver Wolf: Hey, you're getting cocky just because I said you're fat?]

[Black Tower: Who are you calling fat?!]

[March 7th: So, does that mean Silver Wolf actually approves of Black Tower deep down?]

Silver Wolf: ...Tch, no way.

Tingyun looked at Hayek with some concern: "By the way, have you seen this surveillance footage yourself?"

"Of course not!" Hayek waved his hands hastily, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Just having this document would be enough to get me killed several times over! How could I dare to look at it!"

Silver Wolf smiled and reassured him, "It's alright, don't worry. You'll be safe once we've dealt with this."

Tingyun gently advised, "But before that, you should hide well and not let anyone find out. Xing will tell you once things have settled down."

"I understand!" Hayek posted a teary-eyed emoji.

There's finally hope!

"I will keep it hidden! Thank you!"

Xing, Yinlang, and Tingyun finally obtained the positive intelligence they had been longing for and immediately played it out to see it clearly.

The scene opens to show Scott and Chi Bo standing opposite each other in the top-floor office of the Gongyuan Gang.

Scott shouted angrily, "Chibo, you've got some nerve! You just give this mask away like that? Is it something you can just dispose of as you please?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Scott, you're joking." Boss Chi Bo reasoned with the "rules" without showing any nervousness: "We're businessmen. In your eyes, this mask may be an incredible treasure, but in our eyes, the qualification to participate in the Phantom Moon Game is just a commodity that the highest bidder wins."

[Fireworks: Sold? Such an important mask, just sold it?]

[Zhenzhu: Perhaps this boss, Chibo, is also trying to avoid trouble. The strangeness of this year's Phantom Moon Game is obvious to the naked eye. He may have sensed something, and rather than fighting to the death for some Star God for a minute, directly cashing out is a more secure option. It must be said, he can be considered a shrewd businessman. It's just a pity that he seems to have overestimated his opponent's bottom line.]

[Jade: Or perhaps... there are some undercurrents we haven't yet detected?]

Seeing his clueless expression, Scott closed his eyes and focused his energy for a long time before finally saying, "Idiot, you have no idea what you're doing. You're getting yourself into trouble, not just for yourself, but for me too."

The ominous words immediately came true.

At that moment, in the hall, Evil Water's body trembled, and a chilling killing intent swept towards him.

Turning around, I saw a guy dressed in a red, yellow, and blue bodysuit barging in.

"Who are you? Who let you in...who...uh..."
