Watching movies on Bengbu, you guys are a bit too normal.

"Scott! Get over here right now!!!" Old Scott, Scott's father, was sternly reprimanding young Scott.

"Ah, this looks like his father. It seems that humans often 'spend a lifetime healing their childhood,' and Scott might be no exception?" Tail, who was observing everything, guessed.

"Dad, what are you yelling about on the weekend? I'm sleeping in!"

Young Scott rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the house.

"Lazybones, still sleeping in... How many times have I told you, do credit points sleep in? Do free markets sleep in? Do invisible hands sleep in? Never mind, we'll talk about that later," Old Scott said impatiently.

“Pefana’s parents just came over. They heard that Pefana broke his leg while playing hockey, and you carried him to the hospital… They insisted on visiting the father of their son’s best friend.”

Even the tail was surprised to hear this.

"So Scott was such a kind-hearted child."

Xia Die looked at the young Scott in the light screen with a puzzled expression. The Scott described by the old man was completely different from the Scott of today. Is this what growing up is like?

In a corner of the Luofu River, several company employees around Scott looked at their junior manager with considerable sympathy.

So this junior leader is so unreasonable and sarcastic now because of a childhood trauma.

"Hey, you guys, what are you looking at?" Scott asked, looking puzzled.

"You bastard!" Old Scott yelled angrily. "Aren't you and Pefa competing for the captaincy of the hockey team? What kind of friendly game are you playing with your rival? Carrying him to the hospital... You're quite the concerned one, aren't you?"

He glared angrily at the nonchalant Scott.

“How many times have I told you, Lyndon Scott, our Scott family sigil is the Lone Wolf, and our motto is ‘No enemies, no friends, only prey.’ Would you carry your prey to the hospital?”

"Sigh... to be born into such a family, I have to say, little Scott is really pitiful." Even Tail couldn't help but sigh.

A father actually scolded his own son because of such family precepts.

However, just as Tail was lamenting and Old Scott was furious, Scott slowly uttered a sentence.

"But... Dad, I deliberately broke his leg. If I don't take him to the hospital, people will suspect me..."

"ah???"】

"what???"

Across the Milky Way, many people were momentarily stunned by Scott's words.

They were like tails in the light curtain, emitting a question mark from their souls.

And so, countless question mark comments floated across the system.

The sudden change left Xia Die stunned for a moment; just seconds before, she had been thinking about so much…

Chapter 58 Father Says Goodbye, Son Smiles

"Ah, I see. I'm sorry, Scott, I scolded you without even knowing what happened. I apologize."

Upon learning the truth, old Scott sincerely apologized to young Scott, his words filled with a father's pride in his son.

Young Scott waved his hand and looked at old Scott like any child who idolizes his father.

"It's okay, because I love Daddy the most~"

"Uh...like father, like son. Looks like there's no 'most twisted desire' here." Tail was slightly speechless, but ultimately accepted this arrangement.

Seeing this, March 7th wasn't the only one who was puzzled.

So the question marks on the screen never stopped after Scott's flashback began.

The tail swayed as it arrived at the next memory node.

Then it saw two disciplinary officers arresting old Scott.

“Old Scott, you are suspected of accepting huge bribes. Come with us.”

"Ah, that old bastard got caught. Haha~" Tail laughed gleefully.

"If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet, hahaha." Old Scott remained unusually calm. As a member of the Scott family, he was also someone who accepted his losses. "I only have one question, sir, who betrayed me?"

"This is an internal whistleblower report, and we will keep it confidential."

“An internal whistleblower... Most of the people involved in this matter either have no motive or no evidence... Who could it be?” Old Scott wondered.

"Dad, I did it. I betrayed you."

Scott's sudden outburst startled both Old Scott and Tail.

"You... Scott, you actually betrayed me!" Old Scott's tone suddenly rose, seemingly very "surprised".

"What a loving father and filial son!" Tail couldn't help but exclaim, and then it laughed gleefully once again, "Hahahaha, I'm about to cry."

Why do I feel like I've caught Scott's influence? Maybe it's just my imagination.

A barrage of "+1" comments appeared in the bullet screen system.

They overestimated the Scott family.

"I'm so proud of you!"

It's true that he never hesitates to make a shocking statement. As soon as Old Scott opened his mouth, he once again firmly controlled the discipline personnel and tails present.

"...I give up." Tail was speechless once again. He felt that he could no longer use human concepts to measure the Scott family.

"dad……"

"Step over me to climb to higher places! Scott, you are the pride of the Scott family, a true 'lone wolf,' and Dad is so proud of you."

The pride and self-satisfaction in Old Scott's tone proved that his words were not a lie, but came from the heart.

“Father, I will heed your teachings.”

"It feels like this person's childhood is beyond saving... his 'most twisted desires' aren't even here."

Whose family relationship is like this?!

Human hearts are ultimately too complex for her to understand.

Like an old father who was afraid that his daughter would be led astray by the internet, Potio breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ranpo's answer.

The tail moves on to the next memory node.

This time, there are only two people in the memory.

“Scott, my best friend, I’m getting transferred to Tatarion. Let’s grab a drink after get off work,” Scott’s friend Aschawalt invited him.

"This guy actually has friends..." Tail was a little incredulous. "Maybe we can find some key elements here that will make him turn over a new leaf."

"Tatarion? That's a border fortress ship. You haven't made any mistakes in your work lately, have you?" Scott asked, feigning doubt.

"Haha, so you're the one who sabotaged my transfer, right? Nobody else in our group has that kind of cunning."

Faced with Scott's acting skills, Asawat, as his best "friend," actually acted quite nonchalantly.

"Hilarious, I'm not surprised at all." Tail felt like he was almost used to Scott's outrageous antics.

"...There's no other way. Your position is just too coveted, so I have to do this."

Now that the other party had exposed him, Scott stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.

“It’s not just about the position, is it?” Asawat chuckled self-deprecatingly, as if he had come to terms with it. “There’s also… Lakshmi. No one will be competing with you for him anymore.”

"Lakshmi...? 'A green light is faintly visible behind the thick fog'... Could she be Scott's beloved?" Tail guessed based on its experience.

"Please promise me you will treat her well."

"Of course, Asawat, you can go to Tatarion to take up your post without worry. I will take good care of Lakshmi for you."

"It seems that even the 'most twisted desire' isn't here."

Seeing this, countless people in the galaxy who had put down their popcorn picked it up again. Since they already knew how incredible Scott was, they didn't believe he could be any more incredible.

Chapter 59 The End: Defying Heaven

The tail has reached the next memory node.

It refused to believe it. Could it be that it, the mighty Tail Master, couldn't find a twisted memory from an ordinary human?

Oh wait, this guy isn't an ordinary human, he's an extraordinary human.

"Scott, how long have we known each other?"

In the memory, Scott and Lakshmi stood facing each other, and Lakshmi's gaze toward Scott was filled with a strange color.

"It's been 7 or 8 years, hasn't it? What happened?" Scott asked, puzzled.

“We’ve worked together for so many years and only now did we realize that our hometowns are so close! Haha, isn’t that absurd?” Lakshmi feigned nonchalance and surprise, trying to pique Scott’s curiosity.

“We don’t usually have the chance to talk about these things at the company.”

Upon hearing this, Scott seemed to suddenly realize something, and he spoke gently.

"I never expected Scott to be such a naive scumbag." The person most surprised by this was Tail, who had just walked in.

Something seems wrong.

Given Scott's personality, it's impossible for him to accept that his career would be hindered by love, so he will most likely reject Miss Lakshmi outright.

Meanwhile, far away in Pierpoint, at the company headquarters in the market development department.

The boss who received Scott's whistleblower letter years ago looked at the speculations in the chat room and the bullet screen system and smirked, barely managing to hold back.

Because Scott's whistleblower recording is now in the database.

"There's something I've kept to myself all these years, something I haven't dared to tell you."

Lakshmi felt her chance had come, and this time, she was going to bravely confess her feelings to him.

However, before she could speak, Scott interrupted her and said what she was about to say.

"You like me, right?"

"You...how could you do this so suddenly!" Lakshmi covered his mouth shyly.

"Wow, not bad, Scott, very straightforward! I really admire you." Tail, who was watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but praise him.

"Um... Scott, I want to be your lover." Finally, Lakshmi mustered up her courage and confessed her feelings to Scott.

And Tail was just as excited as she was at that moment.

"Hahahaha!" Tail laughed wickedly. "Scott, I've finally found you! This is your Achilles' heel!"

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of maniacal laughter suddenly rang out, but this time it wasn't from the tail, but from... Scott?!

"I've finally found your weakness!"

Tail and Lakshmi: "Huh???"

“I’ve recorded everything you just said!” With the evidence in hand, Scott dropped all pretense. “Office romances are strictly prohibited in our department. If I release this recording, you’ll never have a chance to compete with me for the specialist position again, hahahahaha!”

Tail: "Defying the heavens."

She actually thought that Scott would at most just reject Lakshmi's confession...

Mebius glanced at Alicia in the hall with a teasing smile.

"This..." Lakshmi was stunned for a moment after learning the truth, then suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, Scott, this is exactly the kind of you I like."

Her laughter was filled with a morbid quality.

Tail: "You're defying the heavens too."

Are there any normal people left in this world? Ugh!

The live stream suddenly fell silent, with only a few exclamation marks and question marks occasionally appearing.

This time, it was actually correct.

"I understand, I will make way for you. But when I defeat you like this one day, please accept my heart."

Despite being betrayed, Lakshmi didn't seem angry, because that's exactly the kind of Scott she liked!

"No, that won't do, because I'm a 'lone wolf'," Scott said calmly.

"You're really stubborn, aren't you?"

Tail couldn't help but sigh.
