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

Saber assured her, "Don't worry, my Master. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

"The enemy has set a trap. If we abandon our support, we won't have to take any risks. But losing two allies will put us in a more disadvantageous position in subsequent attacks."

Xing nodded: "Then let's go!"

[March 7th: They actually managed to get through it?]

Meanwhile, in the main square of the Kroc Film Park.

Potio and his group arrived at the agreed location, but did not see a single person.

"Tsk, we agreed to meet here... Where did Xing go?"

Potio's expression hardened: "...Something's not right. Could it be that someone beat us to it and killed her and her servant before we arrived?"

[Star: In your eyes, am I that weak?]

Red A crossed his arms and said calmly, "Excuse my bluntness, but if anyone could easily defeat that Saber, none of us standing here would be able to fight back."

Sand Gold joked, "Could it be that our old friend is wary of my presence and is planning to observe our intentions from the shadows?"

Red A was slightly surprised: "Oh, were you enemies before?"

[Star: Hmm... that's a really difficult question to answer. Let's be enemies first, then friends.]

[Fireworks: Huang Quan stated that she spoke some heartfelt words to Sha Jin, and after a deep and eager conversation, she finally persuaded him. The entire process was so engaging that Sha Jin lingered, abandoning his original plan to shower Sha Jin with money.]

[Gold dust: ...Abstractly speaking, there's nothing wrong with it.]

[Red A: Persuading a businessman to give up his own interests? That's quite an eloquence. However, the name Huang Quan seems more suited to physical combat.]

"Former enemies can become current friends," Sand Gold chuckled, glancing at the cyborg beside him. "Am I right, Cowboy?"

Portio crossed his arms: "Putting aside the people in the company, she should at least trust me, her old buddy who's been through thick and thin with her!"

He shouted in all directions, "Hey, Xing, I can guarantee everything is safe now. It's time to come out and talk about cooperation!"

"Stop shouting." Sand Gold knew that Star wasn't the type to play mysterious games in the shadows.

He looked quite helpless and said with a wry smile, "I considered many possibilities before meeting them, but I never expected that the situation on the spot would be the most outrageous one..."

Potio naturally understood his meaning; shouting a few times was merely a precaution, a final confirmation.

Finally giving up, his eyes flashed with anger: "Some little cutie has managed to scam the patrol ranger."

"Listen up!" he roared. "My little darlings who crave love, no matter who you are or what you're planning, you're surrounded! Show yourselves now, or you'll regret being a beat too slow when you're about to be reincarnated!"

[Star: Ha! I've surrounded you all by myself!]

[March 7th: That feels so good! So many cute moments in one sentence, this is more like Portio's way of speaking!]

[Feixiao: One person can form an army; this kind of thing is very common.]

[March 7th: Uh... I forgot that General Feixiao is still in the group.]

"Hmm~~" A familiar, irritating voice first entered their ears.

Scott and Greedy appeared out of nowhere in front of them.

He showed no fear whatsoever, and instead had the leisure to act like a drama queen.

"Did you hear that? If you don't surrender, you'll be reincarnated. No wonder you're a criminal wanted by the company with a hefty bounty; your very first words are full of thuggishness, ugh...it scared me half to death..."

"Wait!" He seemed to only then recognize the faces of the newcomers, rubbed his glasses, and said with feigned "utter horror," "Isn't this gentleman beside you... Mr. Sand Gold from the [Stoneheart Ten]?!"

Why are serious criminals of the company walking with company executives?

He said in a very insincere "kind" tone, "If you've been kidnapped by this damn cowboy, wink at me!"

Having preemptively shut down any possible explanations, Scott feigned surprise, as if he had finally grasped some enormous, dark secret: "Could it be... tsk, you two are old acquaintances?"

"Company executives, disloyal and treacherous, are having an affair with a wanted criminal!"

Scott's tone was compassionate, but he couldn't suppress the excitement of "I've finally found your weakness."

"Assassin, you absolutely have to film this amazing scene!"

[Sangbo: Oh, I understand. You, one of the Ten Stone Hearts, don't want the company's board of directors to find out about this, do you?]

[Phantom Image: Sigh... After all these years, this kind of plot never goes out of style.]

[March 7th: Wait, where did you guys go? Something feels off.]

[Fireworks: Oh my, Lone Wolf's tone... I can almost hear his inner thoughts—'I'll eat you alive for the rest of my life for this secret!' P30 caught P45 red-handed, hilarious! What kind of satisfying plot is this? Ahem, facing Lone Wolf's shameful and hateful rude threat, let's hear what Mr. Sandalwood has to say! For such a disobedient subordinate, even if Mr. Sandalwood can't survive, he'd probably just let him go, right?]

[Scott: You damned jester! What nonsense are you spouting! Lord Sandstone, philosophically speaking, the self in different times and spaces is not the same self. I am utterly loyal to you now!]

Sandstone paid no heed to Scott's affected manner. All his ramblings were less appealing to him than the servant.

"Your servant is... Mr. Reck? No, upon closer inspection, there's a noticeable difference in their demeanor..."

"Hey," Potio said, "that guy next to Rick is wearing a company uniform...do you know him?"

[Star: Good grief, it depends on the uniform? You didn't take Lone Wolf's long-winded talk to heart at all?]

[Yao Guang: Hmph, what could be a better way to show contempt than to "ignore" him? These two probably really aren't bothered at all, just finding Scott cute, or perhaps "unlovable."]

Scott: I... thank you for ignoring me, Director!

Scott's forehead veins bulged, but reason told him that licking was the wise choice at this point. Reluctantly, he had to bite the bullet and follow the path of the lone wolf.

[March 7th: Anyway, by this time Scott had already mastered barking like a dog and squealing like a pig, so he should be considered... somewhat famous, right? Would Sand Gold recognize him?]

[Star: Why didn't he learn to bark like a dog and then teach you how to pilot a mech?]

[March 7th: Can't you wish me something good?!]

Upon hearing Potio's question, Sandgold shook his head and said leisurely, "There are more company members who recognize my face than there are grains of sand in the Tsiganian Desert... How could I possibly remember every single one of them?"
