Chapter 385 - Chapter 385: Lone Wolf Scott

[Hahaha, this content is just outrageous.]

[Gotta say, it really lives up to the word 'outrageous.']

[No wonder these two are from the same hometown.]

[I'm just saying, what a perfect matchmaking system—worthy opponents.]

[These two are locked in, I'm sold.]

[There's more?]

[Aha: I've gotta stand up for this one.]

[A love story of mutual devotion!]

[Tail's lived for millennia, and now he runs into this? Hahaha, I'm done.]

[A match made in heaven—bah! Struck by lightning!]

[Huohuo: Mister Tail, you've worked hard.]

[Tail: Not hard, just cursed!]

[These two are just too perfect together.]

[Look at Tail's state—he's about to have a cellular breakdown.]

[Mister Tail's career has faced its greatest challenge. You've worked hard, Mister Tail.]

[You can't get two different people from the same bed!]

[Perfect, just too perfect.]

[I approve this marriage. Who's for it, who's against?]

——

Lakshmi still held onto hope. "I understand. I'll step aside for you. But one day, when I beat you like this, please accept my feelings."

Scott shook his head slightly, as if severing his own emotions.

As the saying goes, the first sword after reaching shore slays the one you love. "No need for that. Because I'm a 'Lone Wolf.'"

Mister Tail let out a long sigh. "This guy's impervious to reason!"

Clearly, the answer wasn't here either. Tail continued wandering through the palace of Scott's mind.

Until a wolf appeared before him.

"Is that a wolf? No, that's Scott himself." Tail glanced behind the wolf. "That crown behind it must be the 'most twisted desire'! I've finally reached the depths of his soul. You're beyond saving, and I'm taking that twisted desire away."

As Tail drifted forward, the Lone Wolf spoke in a human voice. "Who are you? This is my private domain. How did you get in?"

"This Mister comes and goes as he pleases. Do I need your permission?" Tail took a deep breath—though a heliobus probably, maybe, doesn't need to breathe—but he calmed himself anyway. "Let this Mister give you a piece of my mind… Tell me, for the sake of climbing the ladder, you don't do a single human thing!"

['Human'—highlight that.]

[Haha, 'doesn't do human things.' Classic Mister Tail.]

[Human, lol.]

[Tail's like, 'Maybe I'm not human, but you're really a wolf!']

——

"It's all for success. I'm the pride of the Scott family, a true 'Lone Wolf.' To reach the peak of life, I'll do anything."

Mister Tail found it laughable. "But are you really happy? You sacrificed family, friendship, love, all for those fleeting credits… Ask yourself honestly, are you truly happy?"

"Am I happy… I… Am I really happy… I…" The Lone Wolf slowly lowered its head.

The audience's eyes widened.

[That tone, that expression?]

[Is Scott about to be persuaded by words?]

[Washing this villain clean? No need for that, right?]

[Probably not. Redeeming him would ruin his character.]

[Maybe not entirely. A redemption could work—his character's pretty fun.]

——

But the next moment, Scott slapped everyone in the face.

"I'm so happy! You can't even imagine my joy!"

[Incredible!]

[Not surprised at all.]

[Who came up with these lines? Haha.]

[I wanna know what kind of mindset Scott's actor has to pull this off. Is he like this in real life?]

[He's truly unpredictable. Every line's a surprise. Worthy of a Lone Wolf!]

——

"'Sacrificing emotions'? Naive! What's the use of 'emotions'? Can 'emotions' turn into ham on my plate? Into wine in my glass? Into the starship I pilot or the mansion I live in?

Can 'emotions' buy credits? Huh? Answer me! But credits can buy emotions. With enough credits, anyone I want as a friend will be my friend!"

Scott spoke with wild arrogance, every word irrefutable.

At this moment, Mister Tail's emotions were unusually stable, having seen it all. "Ugh… This guy's truly hopeless. Maybe I need a different approach."

"But I'd never waste credits on something as meaningless as 'emotions'! Because I'm a 'Lone Wolf,' a Scott family 'Lone Wolf'! No enemies, no friends, only prey!"

"Come on, 'Lone Wolf' Scott, let's see what this Mister's got!"

The screen went black.

The perspective shifted to Aurum Alley.

"Awoo! Woo! Awooo—"

Scott's howl startled the staff on site.

"Commissioner Scott! Commissioner Scott! What's wrong?"

"Woo…"

"Commissioner Scott, when March 7th swung her sword, something green rushed into your body… Then you just stood there, muttering to yourself… Are you okay?"

A company employee shouted at March 7th, "Hey! March 7th, what did you do to Commissioner Scott?!"

March 7th hurriedly explained, "Me? I didn't do anything! Don't pin this on me."

Huohuo glanced at Tail. "Mister Tail, what… what did you do to Scott?"

"You didn't possess him, did you?" Stelle scratched her head.

"What're you thinking? This Mister just snatched his most twisted desire. Watch this, haha!"

"Woo, woo…" Scott kept howling, saying nothing.

Huohuo: "Scott looks weird… Mister Tail, did you really reform him?"

"This is my first try. Not sure how it turned out."

March 7th marveled, "Making a guy like him reform? Mister Tail, you're something else."

"Heh, this Mister's even more impressive than you think. Look, it's starting!"

Scott continued howling wordlessly.

Seeing the confusion, Tail explained, "Without that twisted desire—he's genuinely set on being a 'Lone Wolf' now."

[Hahaha, Hoolay: I hear the echo of a Lone Wolf.]

[Hoolay: First time I've heard such a pure wolf howl.]

[If the borisin had Scott as their leader, they'd revive in minutes.]

——

Scott suddenly crouched, his growls growing fiercer. "Awoo! Arf-arf-arf—"

The next moment, Scott lunged uncontrollably at the other company employees, biting.

"Run! Commissioner Scott's gone mad and biting people!"

The employees bolted, with Commissioner Scott chasing on all fours, relentless. Truly a brutal animal world.

"I thought Mister Tail would possess me to show off some transcendent heliobus swordsmanship…" March 7th looked at her sword hilt, disappointed.

Tail smiled faintly. "Told you, this Mister's not that violent kind of heliobus!"

[Cirrus: The most battle-hungry fragment of heliobus Ignamar!]

[What a brutal animal world!]

[I can't take it—this is too absurd. My laugh tank's empty.]

——

The camera panned back.

The boss watched impassively.

Sparkle blinked her big, dazzling eyes. "So, boss, is this version fun enough? Full of twists, and the audience won't guess the plot!"

"Uh…" The boss paused. "It's definitely unexpected, but this setup's too absurd. I'm worried the audience won't buy it. So… revise it one more time."

Click—

A bullet chambered.

"Sparkle, did you hear something?"

Sparkle smiled, shaking her head. "Nope, boss. What did you say? I zoned out and didn't catch it."

"I said, revise this version one more—"

Bang—

Sparkle pulled the trigger. "I said, no one's criticizing my work this time."

"Hahaha, hahahaha!"

The boss's orange smiley mask rolled slowly to Sparkle's feet.

Looking at the scene, Sparkle covered her cheeks with her hands. "I am the true Elation!"

Sparkle pushed the boss's body aside and sat in the chair of power.

Then she dialed the office phone. "Hello, Old Xuan? Tell Qingque it's time to slack off!"
