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

Bang!

The door to the gang leader's office was violently pushed open, and Evil Water, clutching his horrifying wounds, stumbled in to report, "Boss... Boss... Run..."

After saying this, his strong body, barely supported by loyalty, collapsed to the ground, almost unable to move.

Chi Bo was stunned: "What's going on? What are you trying to do?"

He turned to his "partner": "Mr. Scott, what's going on?"

Scott's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "What else could it be... We're in big trouble."

"Ring ring ring!!!"

The phone on the table rang, and in this atmosphere, it sounded like a death knell.

But when disaster struck, Scott stopped yelling and shouting. He calmly sat down in Chi Bo's seat, propped his head up with one hand, and answered the phone with the other, his first words being aggressive: "Hey? It's busy here right now, please call back later. Get lost."

[Jade: Hmm, calm under pressure. If it's destined for greatness, it might just be the material for something extraordinary.]

[Fireworks: To be honest, Scott actually looks kind of handsome like this, doesn't he?]

[Lakshmi: Impossible! How could he just be a handsome young man? Hmm... he's really charming...]

[Star: Ouch~~ Ouch~~~]

He didn't deny that Scott's performance was unexpected. In a situation like this, let alone remaining calm under pressure, even being as composed as Boss Chi Bo is already quite remarkable. An ordinary person seeing their gang's strongest fighter half-dead, bleeding profusely, rushing in shouting for their lives, would probably be terrified. Like Hayek.

But... Lakshmi, what kind of super thick filter is this? The stench of being in love is just too overwhelming.

Is this how Xi Lian and Liu Ying usually appear to outsiders when they defend her?

That's too...

awesome!

It's inevitable that someone as "sinful" as me would be envied. Ah, this damn charm.

As for Lakshmi... well, they're birds of a feather flock together.

"Oh, my dog. I didn't expect your closing ceremony to be so impressive."

……

An unknown voice came from the other end of the phone, jokingly saying, "Mr. Scott, I admire your composure at this point."

"...Is it really necessary to go this far?" Scott closed his eyes to rest, seemingly unfazed by the pressure. "Aren't we both spies infiltrated into the Strategic Investment Department?"

"It's one thing if we're not loyal to each other, but why are we turning on each other?"

[Qingque: Hmm? They're all spies infiltrated into the strategic investment department? Is this... a cover-up?]

[Jade: Oh? Interesting. So you're a colleague from the market development department? You're a really good colleague!]

[Scott: Good heavens! Director, I'm not the person in the light screen. I'm completely loyal to the Strategic Investment Department now!]

[Saifei: She immediately mentioned the Market Development Department? This level of "trust" is comparable to Scott's towards Grey and his team, isn't it?]

[March 7th: No, there are even corporate spies planted within each other's companies? Isn't this business warfare going a bit too far?]

[Gold Sand: Isn't this perfectly normal? Heretics are far more hateful than infidels. Forget about corporate espionage; it's not uncommon for people to verbally expel each other from their "inspection list" occasionally. It's nothing unusual.]

[March 7th: Oh, this...]

It felt like he casually uttered something truly remarkable.

[Yao Guang: But this time is different. Massacres are never considered normal competitive tactics anywhere. For the market development department to do this to get the mask, isn't that breaking the rules?]

[Jade: Of course, this has completely destroyed all the unspoken rules. Without a fight to see who's superior, things can't end properly.]

Surprisingly, the mysterious man actually accepted the favor: "You've misunderstood, Mr. Scott. I'm not here to kill you, nor do I intend to."

Scott suddenly opened his eyes.

For a fleeting moment, he felt not only flutter in his heart, but also a touch of surprise. But reason told him that the other person hadn't finished speaking, and it wasn't the time to be happy yet.

Sure enough, the other party laughed and said, "It's these few fools who deserve to die that are the ones who should die, it has nothing to do with you."

He even said with great understanding, "You've tried to persuade them so many times, but they won't listen. What can you do?"

His voice suddenly turned stern: "The master entrusted the masks to them for safekeeping, not so that they could use them to do whatever they want."

"I understand the logic," Scott said with a smile, feigning advice, seeing how "understanding" he was. "But why don't you go ask the family if you can just beat them up to teach them a lesson and that's it?"

On the other end of the phone, the mysterious man smiled and said, "I never knew that Mr. Lone Wolf Scott was such a kind and conscientious person."

[Star: And the person on the other side isn't even as good as Scott; it's hard to imagine what kind of beast he is.]

"Sigh... Let's not waste time arguing about this. Let's talk about cooperation. After this is over, we'll be in the same boat forever."

He spoke frankly, "From now on, our mutual trust will reach a new level, which is definitely a good thing. Believe me, we can accomplish many amazing things in this Phantom Moon game."

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was actually quite...harmonious?

Chi Bo felt a chill run down his spine. Thanks to the almost non-existent reception of the old-fashioned telephone, he could hear their conversation clearly from his position.

The mysterious man seemed friendly, but he was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing! He calmly rejected Scott's proposal without even discussing it.

As someone involved in organized crime, how could he not understand what this meant? If he dies, the entire Gongyuan Gang dies!

Chibo looked at the composed Scott with horror.

He's so calm, does that mean he's accepting it?!

Scott suddenly burst into three laughs: "Hahaha, I definitely believe you, but... never mind."

Without any hesitation, he refused!

Chi Bo was stunned once again. He could hardly believe that this usually calculating partner, who was so meticulous about credit points, would be so resolute in this matter of life and death, so determined to die alongside them, this group of losers?!

"Well, I've done all sorts of petty theft, corruption, and selling official positions, but murder and robbery... that's a bit too much, isn't it?"

[Qingque: Well said! This is the civilized street for cursing. You across the street, your *foul language* makes you even worse than a petty thief, corrupt official, and scumbag!]

[Star: That's backbone! No matter what, he's a good dog!]

[Saifei: Oh wow? You're so cool, little lone wolf. I rarely praise canines, you're the first.]

[Fireworks: The Bottom Line of Humanity – Lyndon Scott!]

Everyone in the universe knows that since Scott is dead, he must have chosen to refuse. But seeing how relaxed and carefree he is, without any hesitation, one can't help but feel a bit of admiration.

……

The mysterious man naturally understood his implied meaning, and his expression immediately turned cold.

"This isn't a choice. I really don't want to kill you, Scott. But if you don't want to cooperate, there's really nothing I can do."

Scott remained unfazed, his sarcasm reaching its peak, completely puncturing the other party's hypocrisy and illusory pride: "Hahaha, so you think cooperating with you will guarantee we won't get killed later?"

"You're the same. Don't you think you'll get killed later? From the day we got on this pirate ship, we were all destined to be discarded sooner or later."

His gaze suddenly sharpened: "I, Lyndon Scott, have the sigil of the Lone Wolf, and our motto is: 'No friends, no enemies, only prey.'"

"It's a pity that in the past few decades of my life, I, this lone wolf, have only ever been someone else's dog."

"But now... I'm going to die sooner or later anyway, so I'd rather die as a wolf. As for being a dog, please find someone else."

"Is that so? What a pity." The mysterious man stopped trying to persuade him and coldly gave the order: "Make your move."

The three members of the Dawn Team strolled forward.

Scott crossed his arms and raised his head high. With the swagger of a wolf, he sneered at the three pathetic hounds, and said to the mysterious figure far away, seemingly in control of life, "Heh, we'll meet again soon. In the hell of fools."

The executioner's blade falls!

[Star: Ouch... I can't take it anymore, this guy is really handsome! Okay, that's all for now, I admit you're a wolf!]
