Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"Lian Yan... the secretary who was so polite in front of Xing? Haha, your guess is quite interesting. A shadow suddenly decides to stand in the sun, which usually means-"

"—which means she's already cleaned up everything that needed to be cleaned up! The president of Golden Man Alley? Ha! Maybe there won't even be any bones left!"

Jinx exaggeratedly wiped her neck and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

"So, what you're saying is... the rules of Golden Man Lane are decided by an inconspicuous 'little secretary'?" Hilco's tone was slightly sarcastic, but also a bit appreciative.

If the facts are really as Jinx expected, then these seemingly insignificant little characters in the light curtain also have considerable wisdom and means.

"With the addition of Youxing, Jinrenxiang's development has been immediate and we quickly achieved our first phase revenue target."

"Just as the secretary was about to invite Xing and Su Shang to celebrate, Scott suddenly arrived at the dock and ran into Su Shang and the others."

Scott looked around and saw the tense atmosphere among the people. He said calmly, "I'm just sending a package. Why are you surrounding me?"

"This guy's goods have problems and will damage other customers' goods, causing the terminal to have to pay compensation all the time..." Su Shang glared at Scott fiercely.

"Xingzheng said he wanted to check Scott's bag, but Scott suddenly raised his voice, as if to make a big deal out of it. 'Huh? Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly. Is this how you treat tourists in Golden Man Lane?'"

Su Shang put her hands on her hips and said, "Let's go open his package now. There must be something fishy going on."

"After a standoff, Xing decided to take a closer look. After leaving his package on the ground, Xing unexpectedly discovered a [Thick Cloud Golden Toad] inside..."

"At this juncture, the golden toad happened to wake up again... Although Xing didn't know how it all happened so coincidentally, by the time she came to her senses, she had already torn the violent toad to pieces."

"Su Chang immediately accused Scott of tampering with the golden toad and destroying other people's goods. But in the face of this accusation, Scott deliberately raised his eyebrows, pretended not to hear, and put his ear closer: "Huh? Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."

"Everyone thought they had caught Scott red-handed, but it turned out the toad wasn't Scott's at all. As for why it was placed there, no one could figure it out."

"It would be unreasonable for you not to apologize to me after what you did."

"This...this even requires an apology." Su Shang's momentum was instantly extinguished by half.

"Huh? If you don't apologize, it won't sound good if it gets out." Scott raised his eyebrows, seeming to be looking forward to what was to come.

Blade teeth.

"Apologize? Should I apologize to someone like this?!"

Lie Hai Wang was so furious that he slammed the coffee table with his palm, shattering it into pieces. "Miss Su Shang, why bother trying to reason with him? You should teach this kind of person a lesson!"

"Lie, stay calm." Guo Haihuang said calmly, "We are guests at Mr. Tokugawa's residence."

"...I'm so sorry, I lost my composure."

"Don't worry about such a small matter, Retsu Kaiou." Tokugawa looked up at Miyamoto Musashi beside Retsu and asked curiously, "Miyamoto, if it were you, would you apologize to such a villain?"

"Me?" Miyamoto Musashi took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and then said firmly, "If it were me, I would definitely apologize."

"It's just that, after apologizing... I should be able to kill him, right?"

-

Su Shang gritted her teeth, her fists clenched until they cracked, and she spoke reluctantly, "...I'm sorry."

Scott spread his hands smugly. "It doesn't matter. Just think of it as practice. One apology isn't enough, hahahaha."

"Accompanied by his victorious laugh, Scott's figure gradually disappeared into Golden Man Alley."

"As for Su Shang, she was completely livid. The word 'I'm sorry' was like a piece of red-hot charcoal, forcing itself out of her throat, burning her whole body and making her tremble. 'Mmmmm... Mmmmm...! ! '"

Mingxi said with a guilty look, "I'm sorry, I didn't even start a conversation."

"My mother told me that as long as I develop some skills, people will be able to reason with me..." Su Shang, who was too angry, said a little aggrievedly, "...It seems that my skills are not enough."

"Mingxi also felt that this wasn't enough. They also needed to teach the two how to debate (argue). So they approached Lian Yan, who not only taught them some debating and negotiation techniques but also provided them with some key 'materials'."

"It includes information on the income and expenditure records of the key figure, Afeng. As for the source of this information... Lian Yan mysteriously stated that the president has his own methods."

"With this information, Xing successfully defeated the dock worker, Afeng, and made Afeng admit that he was paid to do the crime."

"With this confession, combined with the two pieces of evidence mentioned above, Xing is full of confidence and has decided to confront the company head-on."

Chainsaw Man.

In the dim coffee shop, Makima's fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the coffee cup, and the bitter aroma of black coffee floated in the air.

"Qiu Jun, don't you think Scott is an interesting person?" Her voice was very soft, making it difficult to understand her emotions. "Perhaps... the public security department needs someone like him."

"Heh, people like this will only tarnish the reputation of the public security." Hayakawa Aki stared at the latte in front of him that had already gone cold with a look of disgust.

"Then what do you think, Qiu Jun...what's the difference between Xing, the good guy, and Scott, the bad guy?"

One is kindhearted and revitalizing Jinren Lane, while the other is unscrupulous and uses petty tricks. Hayakawa Aki said without hesitation: "...Of course it's morality."

An expected answer.

Makima smiled and shook her head slightly: "No, it's efficiency."

Outside the window, an ambulance roared past, and the shrill siren broke the silence of the sunset.

"Good people follow the rules, bad people exploit them." She gently stirred her coffee, a black vortex slowly spinning in the cup. "And the world always rewards the most efficient."

Hayakawa Aki's eyes turned cold: "So, you think Scott is very efficient?"

"Well, I think he was just unlucky to have run into Xing." Makima leaned forward slightly, her hair draping over the table. "If it weren't for Xing, with just that secretary... I'm afraid Golden Man Alley would have been taken over by Scott, right?"

"Of course, it would be better if he could be a little smarter and disguise himself a little, not being so obviously evil. After all, even demons know how to disguise themselves as angels to more easily achieve their goals."

"Mingxi notified the company and asked Miss Xikui from Tianbosi to act as notarization."

"Soon, the three parties gathered at the dock."

"Xiao Kui stood between the two parties and said, "On behalf of the Tianbo Division, I am mediating the rental dispute between the Interstellar Peace Company and the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce."

"Does this even require any coordination? I'll be blunt—the Chamber of Commerce should have gotten out of Golden Man Alley long ago." Scott delivered his usual steady performance, making you want to punch him the moment he opened his mouth.

Su Shang was speechless: "Can't the company send a normal person to negotiate?"

Scott pretended to be deaf and dumb again, and put his ear close to the speaker like last time: "Huh? ? Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."

"But this time, Su Chang didn't let him get away with it. After taking a deep breath, she suddenly shouted straight to Scott's head: "I say, there is no one else in the company!!!"

-

"--hiss!!"

Accompanied by an exaggerated female voice amplified countless times by the sky, the birds in the treetops fluttered into flight. With a start, Hugh Tark's axe slammed into the back of his foot, causing him to grimace in pain.

This is even scarier than thunder... After coming back to his senses, Philen still felt his head buzzing.

"Hey, look—"

Fulilian pointed ahead and saw the red dragon they were about to defeat running away happily, flapping its wings.

"...Ah, my dinner was scared away by Su Chang." Fulilian showed a crying expression.

-

"Ouch...ah!" Scott covered his ears and grimaced. "This girl has such an amazing voice, my eardrums are about to perforate. Phew, I hope you can be as loud as you just now when you apologize to me in public later."

"As the company's commercial representative, my attendance at this negotiation is legal, reasonable, and legitimate! Who are you planning to send from the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce? The passing Cloud Cavalry? The elusive president?"

"Or this chick you guys just dragged here at short notice, looking like she's owed fifty credits?"

"He pointed to the stars."

Listening to Scott's sarcastic remarks, Yukui interrupted unhappily, "That's enough, Representative Scott. Please state the company's demands."

Scott quickly got into the swing of things. "The company specifically handed over management rights to the Golden Man Lane Chamber of Commerce in order to pursue mutual development. However, the Chamber of Commerce refused to cooperate with the major businesses in Golden Man Lane, resulting in the once-bustling wharf now being deserted."

"I have objections!" Xing raised her finger and pointed at Scott. "The Chamber of Commerce has never refused to cooperate with any business!"

"No rejection?" Scott snorted. "Then let me ask you, how many shops have joined your logistics network now?"

Chapter 196: The Old Alleys of the Jin People Are Bustling (V)

"There will be more in the future!" Su Shang said quickly.

"Later? How long in the future? According to your Xianzhou people's concept of time, five hundred years from now? Hahaha, can the shops here afford to wait?" Scott laughed out loud, holding his stomach.

"Uh...this...ten years? Twenty years? Xing, what should I do? I, I can't tell." Su Shang's mind was already confused.

"Seeing Xing didn't refute him, Scott decided to press his case, raising the issue of cargo transportation and rent at the port."

"But Xing was waiting for Scott to let his guard down. She flashed proof of the dock rent repayment and proudly held her head high: "The dock has been repaid! The Chamber of Commerce has turned a profit and can repay the debt!"

"W-what!?" Scott's pupils suddenly shrank into two small black dots under his sunglasses, and his jaw dropped uncontrollably, almost hitting the ground. "You actually went up to me? Why?!"

-

fate.

In the basement of the church, Gilgamesh was leaning back on a luxurious chair, gently shaking the wine in the golden cup.

Seeing Scott's astonished expression, Gilgamesh sneered, his eyes filled with contempt. "Heh... a mere cultivator can represent the Interstellar Peace Company?... How ugly!"

"If my people dare to embarrass themselves in public, hmph..." Gilgamesh sneered twice and drank the wine in the golden cup.

"Oh? I think the contortion on Scott's face is quite beautiful."

Kotomine Kirei's lips curled up slightly, his expression rather evasive. "Hero King, this executive of the 'Interstellar Peace Company' must normally be a high-ranking figure, but now he's behaved in such a disgraceful manner in front of everyone—isn't this contrast truly heart-wrenching?"

Gilgamesh glanced at him sideways and said disdainfully, "Oh, Kirei, you're still the same, particularly interested in the struggles of these small people."

"However, this miscellaneous cultivator named Scott is not completely worthless. At least, he gave this king a pretty good farce."

-

"The materials provided by the Jinrenxiang Chamber of Commerce are authentic and reliable. According to the lease agreement between the two parties, the Chamber of Commerce still holds the operating rights to the wharf."

"Xu Kui changed the subject, glancing at Scott with a sharp glare. 'Next, the Chamber of Commerce has raised the claim that Representative Scott has been secretly sabotaging the dock's operations. Do you have any explanation for this?'"

"Stop your spitting!" Scott raged. "Why would I do anything? Your wrecked wharf has no business cooperation and frequent accidents. What does this have to do with me?"

"Besides, I'm not involved in shipping at the dock. Could it be that I bribed the dock workers? That's ridiculous." Scott folded his arms and snorted disdainfully.

"Then, is there a possibility that you really bribed the dock workers?"

"Xing slowly took out Afeng's confession and handed it to Yukui beside him."

"The evidence is irrefutable. Even if Scott had ten more mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain it. Xi Kui has classified this as unfair business practice, and the Tianbo Division will continue to investigate."

"Seeing the situation was getting bad, Scott was about to run away, but before he could turn around, Su Shang called out to him."

"Don't forget our previous bet. You have to apologize to me in front of everyone!"

Scott tried to make a last-ditch effort: "I won't! Why should I apologize to you?!"

"Just because you trampled on the efforts of others, just because you used dirty tricks!" Su Chang retorted without hesitation, "If my apology can relieve the disheartened hearts of those who love Jinren Lane, I will apologize a thousand times, ten thousand times!"

"But now, you are the one who should apologize!"

Honkai Impact 3rd.

"Well said! As expected of me... uh, me from another world!"

Li Sushang slammed the table and stood up, causing the water in the teacup to splash out. "It's this momentum! It's so beautifully said! If it were me, I would definitely not be able to say it as well as she did."

Rita took a graceful sip of her tea. "Miss Sushang, you're being too modest. Your words, 'I am Li Sushang, the chief disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect, and I ask for your guidance,' were equally impressive."

"How can this be the same?!"

Li Sushang's ears turned slightly red. She always felt that when Rita said this line in front of her, it was like a public execution.

Moreover, every time I said this, I was about to fight with someone.

If Scott was facing herself instead of Su Shang, she would probably have to have an "intimate contact" between his head and the ground the next second he refused to apologize.
