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

[Fireworks: To simplify the term "gold dust," it's simply—who?]

[Star: Sigh~ My stray dog, sigh~ A life no one cares about. ╮( ᐛ )╭]

Scott: You guys... you're absolutely right (gritting his teeth)!

He really wanted to roar, "How dare you underestimate your nemesis?!"

However, he truly cherished his position...

Unfortunately, the version of himself in the light screen had no connection with the strategic investment department and didn't seem to cherish it much.

Scott's face was ashen, and he uttered two words with crystal clarity: "Bastard!"

"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're part of the 'Stone Heart Ten'! (voice cracks) No matter how far the Strategic Investment Department's reach is, it can't extend to our side!"

"Once I win the Holy Grail, everyone will have to do what I say! I'll make you kneel on the ground begging for mercy, and then you'll bark like dogs, squeal like pigs, no! You'll croak like frogs!"

Outside the light screen, Scott, who witnessed this scene, was dumbfounded. He suddenly felt his hands and feet turn ice cold, but his brain was about to explode with heat!

"I...I...what did he say?"

Company employee A kindly reminded him, "Commissioner Scott, you said the Gold Mine Director was a bastard, making him kneel on the ground and imitate animal sounds, three of them at that."

"Hahaha..." Scott watched him laugh sinisterly, then roared angrily, "Shut up! I'm not deaf!"

Was this guy hired just to annoy him? Doesn't he have any common sense at all?!

And there was that humanoid creature on the screen that looked just like him...

"What's wrong with this person?! Why are they randomly stepping on other people's posts?!"

"He can't control himself now, but I wonder what it will be like when he can control himself someday?"

"Leave room for maneuver in your actions, so you can meet again in the future!"

"But isn't your style of doing things precisely to indulge in whatever you can do as you please..."

Is that outrageous?

Just as the last three words were about to be uttered, employee B quickly stopped employee A from speaking.

Didn't you see Commissioner Scott was so anxious he was almost having a mental breakdown and hallucinating? And he's spouting such obvious truths? Commissioner Yong, you're just as bad as the Commissioner!

After roaring for a while, Scott suddenly felt weak all over and collapsed into the boss's chair, panting heavily.

"May the Amber King bless me, and may the Gold Sand Director completely ignore me, treat me like a fart, and let me go."

But he knew that there was a group of "shameless bastards" in this chat group who would never miss an opportunity to stir up trouble...

[Star: Wow! That's awesome!]

[Sambo: Hahaha~~ What did I just hear? Mr. Scott is definitely no ordinary man; he harbors grand ambitions!]

[Fireworks: Little Peacock, I'm not one to stir up trouble. As for the word 'bastard,' Little Lone Wolf probably just blurted it out in a fit of anger. And as for imitating animal sounds, that's just ventriloquism, right? Think about his experience in Golden Man Alley; weren't all the audience members who heard it quite happy?]

Of course, Scott felt his dignity had been trampled upon and humiliated. But once you come to terms with it, it's not a big deal, right? As for being looked down upon by all his subordinates and losing prestige because of it, those are insignificant. You'll forgive him, won't you?

[March 7th: Fireworks, you're so mean...]

What do you mean, "What a jerk is just saying what's on my mind"? What do you mean, "It's okay to imitate animal sounds"? You'll get over it once you think it through.

Is this what you call offering advice? It's more like pouring gasoline into a bucket, throwing it on a fire, and then pretending to be concerned, saying, "Hey? Why won't this fire go out?"

Of course, it's impossible to wipe them out! These guys are really ruthless.

If it were just the situation inside the light screen, it might not be so bad, since no one has actually set up the gold dust. But now... this matter seems to have escalated a bit too much.

[Gold Sand: Heh, I usually forgive these kinds of things. After all, it's not illegal in the company to insult your boss.]

[Star: Huh? You just forgave him like that?]

He doesn't even take the jab of those who want to make fun of him; that's more than just a mild temper.

[Qingque: Of course it's not that simple. In the workplace, this sentence carries a deeper meaning. You see, if you truly didn't care, it wouldn't be labeled as insulting your boss. So, the real meaning is actually—I can't directly punish you for this, but I've taken note of it, and you'll see.]

[March 7th: Huh? Is the workplace this dangerous? Do we still need to translate even when we speak the same language?]

Scott: Heh, heh heh heh...

Those despicable people who make fun of others! I will never forgive them!

Scott: Director, you know me. That was all just talk, no, that wasn't what I meant. I... I must have been influenced by the power of the Holy Grail. Yes, it's all that thing's fault!

[Gold Sand: No need to say more. As for your future, well... we'll see how you perform.]

[Scott: Director, I promise I'll do my best! If you tell me to go east, I'll go west; if you tell me to catch a dog, I'll chase a chicken! Please... be magnanimous!]

But no matter how much he pleaded, he received no further response.

At the company headquarters, Toppa whispered to Sandstone, "Are you really going to make things difficult for him?"

This is unlike his usual style.

Sand Gold chuckled and shook his head: "I'm not that bored. Dealing with him doesn't need to be that complicated."

"Given his rank, even just glancing at his personnel file seems a bit extravagant. It's just a way to scare him off with some underhanded tactics and make him behave himself."

"After all, although he doesn't pose much of a threat to my career plans, nobody wants flies constantly buzzing in their ear."

……

In the light screen, Red A was somewhat speechless at Scott's actions: "What a waste, using the Holy Grail to make someone imitate animal sounds..."

Sandstone remained unfazed by Scott's provocation and calmly replied, "So, old Emperor actually managed to squeeze out invitations for people in your department as well?"

Based on this confrontational attitude, there's no doubt that it's a colleague from the market development department.

He stroked his chin, seemingly recalling something: "But I remember they sent very few personnel to Pinocchio, could you be...?"

"Eek!" Scott's eyes lit up, his attitude completely changing 180 degrees, his voice trembling with fear: "Have you heard of me before? Ah~~"

[March 7th: Wait, what's with Scott's sudden fawning attitude? It almost threw my back out. Where's your pride? Where's your wicked dream? Weren't you just acting like you were mortal enemies?]

[Yao Guang: Sigh~ He truly lives up to his reputation as a famous comedian in the Milky Way. His initial arrogance followed by his obsequiousness is laughable.]

[Blue Sparrow: After all, it's Scott, so it seems... kind of normal?]
