Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 319 Scott: Threatened Again

Xing paid no attention to the new fox-person. She put her hands on her hips, turned her head, and spoke with a flourish:

"We'll help you solve your company's problems."

The company employee's voice suddenly rose: "Trouble for the company? It should be Tianbo Company causing us trouble!"

After a while, Yanqing realized: "It seems that this company employee is an old acquaintance of the teacher. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."

After speaking, Yanqing looked at Xikui:

"Sister Xi Kui, I was sent to handle the company's protest, what exactly is going on?"

Xi Kui's temper calmed down a little, and she spoke:

"As you know, the Zhu Ming envoy rescued the company's transport ship that was attacked by the Bu Li people, and then informed the Yunqi Lantian Daowei to bring it back to the port for repair and inspection—this is Mr. Scott, the person in charge of the transport ship."

Ah, so his name is Scott.

This was the first time Yunzhi had heard of this employee's name.

He seems to be a minor official in the company, not the kind of employee who can be easily dismissed.

March 7th was surprised: "So you're Scott! I've heard Xing mention you before. Weren't you kicked out of Luofu? Why are you back?"

It seems the story of Jinren Lane is indeed widely known, right?

I don't know what Xing said to her fellow train crew members.

Scott said irritably, "Do you think I wanted to come back? I was just going to port for some repairs and then leave this cursed place, but as soon as I entered, a few Cloud Riders rushed over and stole the cargo from the hold!"

Xi Kui retorted, "What do you mean by 'stolen'? I've said it so many times, this is a security check!"

"Why did you bring in the Manufacturing Division again? And why did you bring in that shifty-looking craftsman? Isn't it obvious he's trying to steal the company's patented technology?"

Scott absolutely refused to open the box for inspection.

It's not surprising, really. If it were a classified item, everyone would have to keep it tightly under wraps.

Yun quietly approached the box of goods from a blind spot of the company employees.

There are indeed rules between the alliance and the company that prohibit them from infringing on each other's intellectual property rights.

However, leagues also have their rules.

After arguing for so long without reaching a conclusion, it's really frustrating...

impatient!!!

The instant he approached the cargo, Yunzhi raised his hand, his nails elongating, and with a wolf-like claw, he fiercely pierced the trapdoor of the cargo container, tearing it open with force—

The box, made of extremely sturdy materials, was torn open on the spot.

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

They all stared at the fox-man youth who had somehow appeared beside the cargo box and had already violently opened it.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, the fox-man youth remained completely unfazed. He casually tossed the door aside, ignoring the company employees' cameras and microphones.

"After all, I'm from Yaoqing, and I can't understand the convoluted things here in Luofu. All I know is that no matter what the company's requirements are or what the Boshi Society's ideas are, this is the Immortal Boat Alliance. Once you're on the Alliance's territory, you have to follow the Alliance's rules."

The fox-man's obsidian-like eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he stared at Scott.

"Is there a problem?"

The aura was so overwhelming that Scott took several steps back in fright.

Xi Kui was stunned for a moment.

—Are the guests from Yaoqing's side really this forceful?

Yao Qing has a close relationship with the company. Is this how they always deal with the company?

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Xi Kui didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she immediately nodded to the craftsman behind her, signaling him to come forward and inspect.

The craftsman stepped forward and looked at the strange machine inside the crate, which was as tall as two people.

Just as he was about to reach out and touch it, the fox-man youth stopped him.

"Wait a moment, the people from the Dan Ding Division are here to conduct an inspection together."

Let's also see how capable the new Director of the Cauldrons is.

Scott covered his head: "No, you've already opened it, hurry up and finish your investigation and let us leave! Seriously... I'll have to kowtow and apologize to those scholars when we get back..."

"It's not a big deal if they do some bad research; after all, it's hard to make progress if you're really confined to the realm of morality."

The fox-man youth grinned slyly: "But unfortunately, what they want to research, whether it goes beyond moral boundaries, is none of our concern. But this is Alliance territory. Trying to dump dangerous items on Alliance docks—don't they even consider whether that's reasonable?"

"Mr. Scott, tell me, what if the Imperial Archer stood at the gates of Pierpoint, bow drawn and arrow pointed at your headquarters, and said, 'I'm just passing by, taking a pose, and leaving in a few days'—wouldn't you be afraid?"

The fox-man youth gave an example.

However, this example carries a somewhat threatening connotation.

...And why would anyone use the Emperor's Bow and Fate as an example?

They thought that only the True Lord Jingfeng Baiyu, who had been by the side of Emperor Gong Siming for thousands of years and whose name had been officially announced not long ago, would be so decisive.

Danheng could only sigh helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

—Although her appearance has changed a lot, there are some parts that really can't be hidden.

Of course, it might be because Yun Zhi isn't really trying to hide his identity right now, and it seems that no one around him has recognized him.

How did Danheng recognize him?

When Yunzhi was near Danheng, he would always feel a slight palpitation in his heart.

It's probably due to something from a past life, but it's negligible.

Unexpectedly, it has now become the main method for recognizing people.

Scott was stunned by the example the fox-man gave.

"No... what do you mean by this? Huh? Are you showing off that you have the presence of a star god?"

It wasn't enough to break through their defenses, but Scott certainly understood the threat it implied.

Yun grinned, revealing a standard six-tooth smile:

"So what?"

"If you're so capable, then make the God of Heaven's Fate also leave his mark on Pierpoint!"
