Give Star Iron a little MC shock

"Congratulations."

Hearing the congratulations around him, March 7th blushed even more and suddenly stood up from the ground.

"I...I...I'll go back to the train first! I need to ask Himeko-nee!"

I don't know if there are any rules on the train that prohibit passengers from dating each other.

Xing He wanted to say something more, but March 7th ran so fast that he disappeared from his sight in no time.

I really don't know how March 7th's soft, muscleless thighs could unleash such terrifying speed.

Not long after March 7th left, Pera rushed over in a hurry. When she got to Xing He, she couldn't help but ask him a question.

"Why did she leave in such a hurry on March 7th? Did something happen?"

"She's fine, but you are."

Xing He looked at Pera with confusion. Ever since he resolved Yalilo's debt crisis, Pera had been assigned by Bronya to conduct research on the existing mineral resources in the lower district. Logically, she should be very busy, so how could she have time to come over?

"Sister Pella, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing Xing He address her in such a childish tone, Pera immediately puffed out her cheeks unhappily, making her already round face even rounder.

"Please, some adults, refrain from speaking in a childish tone!"

After correcting Xing He's statement, Pera coughed twice and put on a serious face again: "Because the Great Guardian is not here, I had to come to you, Xing He. A group of company employees from Belloberg came. They said they came to deliver something to you. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Send things?"

Xing He was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that he had previously asked Toppa to transport all the company's existing emeralds over, so he figured these new employees were probably bringing him emeralds.

"Come on, take me there to have a look."

"Yes, they're in the city right now, carrying dozens of large boxes!"

--------------------------

In the square inside Belleburg, a transport ship was docked, and many company employees were unloading boxes filled with emeralds.

A large number of residents of Belleburg gathered around to watch.

"Who are they?"

"It seems he's also an employee of that Interstellar Peace Company."

"Interstellar Peace Corporation? Bah! If it weren't for Boss Xing He's help, these guys would have done who knows what to Belloberg. Peace, my foot!"

"Hey, hey, hey, that's all in the past. Aren't you afraid they'll hear you cursing here? What if they get angry and come beat you up?"

"What's there to be afraid of? This is the Iron Golem created by Boss Xing He! It's even more powerful than the robots created by that Boss Schwarz from the lower district! There's nothing to be afraid of!"

The person who said this pointed to the Iron Puppet patrolling nearby. Its burly figure and powerful metallic sheen gave people a great sense of security!

"That's true. With Boss Xing He's Iron Puppet around, we really don't need to be afraid."

"That's it."

While the surrounding citizens were pointing and whispering, the company employees carrying the boxes at the back of the moving team started talking to each other in hushed tones.

"Do you remember our mission this time?"

"Remember!"

"Okay, that's good. The higher-ups have already promised that as long as we handle this matter well, we can be promoted directly to team leaders in the market development department and won't have to do these tiring jobs anymore!"

Although the employee who said this spoke very casually, the people next to him hesitated.

"But isn't it a bit dangerous for us to attack that nameless guest named Xing He? I heard he's become a director of our company. If we make a move, it would be insubordination!"

"What are you afraid of? All we need to do is secretly snipe him from behind and sabotage Xing He's relationship with the Strategic Investment Department. We're not actually asking you to kill him! You know, we're now members of the Strategic Investment Department, and the head of the Market Development Department will be here to back us up soon. Don't worry!"

"Row."

Finally, the group was persuaded to work out, and they secretly loaded the pistols hidden in their pockets, waiting for Xing He to come and collect the goods so they could make their move.

Little did they know that the person who had instigated them was secretly laughing, and then quietly slipped behind them.

Just kidding. With Xing He's abilities, if they dare to fire a shot, they're guaranteed to be caught. Besides, the promise from above only applies if they can return safely. Even if they do return, it's questionable whether those old foxes will keep their promise.

More likely, they will be treated as temporary workers and then pushed out to take the blame.

"Pera, are these the company employees you mentioned who delivered the goods?"

"Yes."

Suddenly hearing Xing He's voice from afar, the company employees immediately perked up and nervously placed their hands on the spot where the pistols were hidden.

The employees guarding the emerald box at the front of the square immediately stood up straight and bowed respectfully when they saw Xing He approaching.

"Director Xing He!"

Xing He nodded at them with a smile: "Yes, where's what I asked for?"

"Director Xing He, it's all in these boxes. Because emeralds are quite special, not many people choose to buy them except for decoration, so the company's reserves are not large. These are all the remaining stock. Please forgive us, Mr. Xing He."

"It's okay, we can send more when we have more. This is just enough for my current needs."

Xing He walked over, opened a box, and checked the number of emeralds inside. There were ten sets of emeralds in one box, and the employees had brought down seven boxes in total. Converted into achievement points, that's a total of 70 points!

If he saves up a little more, Xing He could consider buying the New Magic MOD and becoming a magician!

Just as Xing He was happily counting the number of emeralds, several silenced gunshots suddenly rang out.

The next second, several bullets were heading straight for Xing He's head, but they landed at his feet after just colliding with the dark matter armor on his body.

The employees who fired the shots from a distance were not disappointed to see that Xing He was not injured. They had only intended to sabotage the relationship between Xing He and the Strategic Investment Department, and even to avoid being discovered that they were the ones who fired the shots.

They also specifically used these more retro kinetic bullets instead of energy bullets.

Almost at the same moment the bullet hit the ground, Pera, who was next to Xing He, immediately waved her hand.

"Xing He has been assassinated! Lock down the entire venue!"

Chapter 144 The Great Detective Iron Puppet (Third Update)

At Pera's command, dozens of Silvermane Iron Guards quickly surrounded the scene.

Pera walked up to the Star Peace Company employee who had spoken to Xing He earlier, her face cold.

"Tell your men to lay down all their weapons!"

The employee frowned: "Madam, your demands are a bit excessive. We are not residents of Yalilo, and you have no right to ask us to lay down our weapons. Besides, the people who attacked Mr. Xing He may not be us; they could be from within your own ranks, right?"

Pera shook her head, walked to Xing He's side, picked up the bullet that had fallen to the ground, and played with it in her hand.

"This bullet design is not produced by our Yalilo, so you are very likely the culprit. Do I need to repeat myself?"

The employee looked at the bullet in Pera's hand, then frowned and told his colleagues behind him to put down their weapons.

Although they were somewhat resentful, their superiors had repeatedly instructed them that they absolutely could not have any conflict with Director Xing He.

If they don't handle this sudden attack carefully, it could very well become the fuse that ignites a break with Director Xing He.

Pera immediately ordered the Silvermane Iron Guards to surround him.

After watching Pera have the Silvermane Guards confiscate their weapons, the employee took out his phone and asked, "Madam, may we contact our supervisor?"

Pera nodded. Such a serious matter was naturally beyond the decision-making power of lower-level employees like themselves.

"Please."

The employees breathed a sigh of relief and immediately tried to contact Topa, since Topa was the person in charge of Yalilo.

However, he tried several times but was unable to contact Topa, and the voice prompt said that Topa was not on the server.

Left with no other option, he had to turn to other leaders.

Behind them, the group of junior employees who had fired the shots took advantage of the fact that Pera and the others' attention was diverted and quickly began to dismantle and destroy their weapons to avoid being discovered during the search.

Pera then walked up to Xing He while the Silver Mane Iron Guards were checking everyone at the scene.

"Mr. Xing He, please come with me to a safe place to take refuge."

Xing He shook his head. This kind of damage wouldn't hurt him. If the other party thought they could kill him with this kind of pistol, he would laugh at them.

Moreover, Xing He was very curious about who dared to attack him in this situation.

Just as Xing He was about to open the minimap to see which icons around him had turned into enemy units, everyone suddenly felt the ground begin to tremble violently.

Everyone looked in the direction from which the tremor came and saw a dozen or so iron golems slowly walking towards them in perfect unison.

The ordinary citizens were startled by the scene and quickly moved aside to make way for the Iron Golems.

The Silvermane Iron Guards dared not stop the Iron Golems and could only withdraw and let them enter the warning circle.

When Xing He saw the Iron Golems arrive, he closed the mini-map he had just opened. The Iron Golems' programming was much more reliable than his eyesight.

Iron Golem will immediately target any enemy that attacks him, unless the target is fast enough to escape Iron Golem's aggro range.

“Mr. Xing… Mr. Xing He?” Pera was also taken aback by the spectacle the Iron Golems had made. She had been on Yalilo for so long, but she had never seen anything like it.

Even though the Iron Golems didn't show any emotions, she still sensed a chilling aura emanating from them.

"Don't worry." Xing He patted Pera's head. There was no way he could help Pera because she wasn't very tall; he had to half-squat down to pat her shoulder. "They will help you find the murderer. Have the Silvermane Iron Guards make way for them, and also prepare stretchers and a medical team."

"Stretcher? Medical team?"

Pera was a little confused. Could the Iron Golem really get injured?

Pera glanced at the group of Iron Golems' towering figures. With such a size, even if they were injured, they probably wouldn't be able to carry them to the hospital on stretchers.

It must be some other means of transportation.

Xing He silently counted the number of the Iron Golems that had surrounded him. Not counting the other Iron Golems that were moving slower and hadn't arrived yet, there were already fifteen of them.

"Forget it, don't bother preparing a stretcher, let's contact the crematorium instead."

Xing He didn't think the Silver Mane Iron Guards could stop the murderer who had survived being surrounded and beaten by so many Iron Golems; he had already escaped.

The company employees who had been gathered together by the Silvermane Iron Guards panicked when they saw the Iron Golems walking towards them with unwavering determination.

Many of them had heard of the Iron Golems, after all, the Amber King had appeared on Arilor for a long time to bestow the power of [Preservation] upon these Iron Golems.

It goes without saying that the object protected by the Iron Golem, which is blessed by the power of [Preservation], is Director Xing He, who created them.
