Chapter 679

March 7th: "If we'd used this to threaten Scott from the start, we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble, right?"

Hearing Yanqing: "I accidentally fell into a thinking trap — I was so focused on getting Scott to agree to the cargo inspection."

Hearing Yanqing: "I didn't expect there'd be another clause in the regulations we could make use of."

Hearing Yanqing: "All thanks to Miss Lingsha's quick mind!"

Miss Lingsha: "Hehe, this one merely prescribed the right remedy for the ailment, that's all."

Miss Lingsha: "Since he's an employee of the Company, he ought to abide by the Company's rules, yes?"

Miss Lingsha: "And as luck would have it, in the import-export regulations jointly revised by the Company and Luofu Xianzhou, there happens to be precisely such a clause."

Stelle: "Now Scott either has to accept the cargo inspection, or he'll have to wait forty-seven years on Luofu Xianzhou!"

Stelle: "Truly a case of having no way forward and no way back!"

Firefly: "This Mr. Scott isn't a long-life species — if he really had to wait forty-seven years on Luofu Xianzhou, there's no telling whether he'd still be alive and kicking..."

Miss Qingque: "It's fine, the Company's employees should have some money saved up."

Miss Qingque: "Buying a grave plot on Luofu Xianzhou shouldn't be that hard, right?"

The video continues.

【What did you just say?!】

【Only????】

Hearing Miss Lingsha's words, Scott's face turned green!

【No need to be that surprised, is there?】

【You look fairly young to me, plenty of vigor in your voice — living another few decades shouldn't be a problem.】

【Have a little confidence in yourself!】

Miss Lingsha said with a smile, in a tone tinged with gentle mockery.

【As expected of a long-life species — every word comes with barbs.】

【You may not care about the concept of time, but for every minute of delay and the losses it causes, the Skyward Commission will compensate me double!】

Scott spoke at this moment,

with a rather hysterical edge to his voice.

【It seems Mr. Scott is quite confident that both his career and his life can hold out long enough to witness the moment of this victory.】

Miss Lingsha said in an unhurried, measured tone.

【....】

【Brothers, stand aside — let them inspect.】

After Scott lowered his head and fell silent for a moment,

he spoke to the Company employees beside him in a calm tone.

【But, Mr. Scott...】

The employee looked at Scott's uncharacteristic behavior, wanting to speak yet holding back.

【Enough, things are already troublesome enough... let them carry out the safety inspection.】

【Worst case, when I get back I'll kowtow and apologize to those scholars in person — isn't that exactly what this head of mine is for?】

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Scott finally snapped!

Stelle: "Oho, he broke! He broke!"

Stelle: "This time he really broke!"

March 7th: "As expected, Miss Lingsha is really something!"

March 7th: "She got Scott to back down without breaking a sweat."

Miss Yunli: "Naturally — don't let Miss Lingsha's appearance fool you, she's got a dark heart underneath."

Miss Yunli: "Taking down a Company employee? Easy as pie."

Miss Lingsha: "?"

Miss Lingsha: "Little Yunli, that didn't sound like you were praising your sister me, did it?"

Miss Lingsha: "It seems next time you come to me for treatment, I'll have to give you some... special attention."

Miss Yunli: "No, Miss Lingsha!"

Miss Yunli: "I was praising you!"

Miss Yunli: "It's just that maybe... I used the tiniest bit of the wrong wording..."

Miss Yunli: "You're a big person who doesn't bear grudges against small folk — just don't keep pressing it."

March 7th: "Although, but, what Mr. Scott said at the end was actually rather heartbreaking."

March 7th: "It made me feel a little sorry for him."

Stelle: "Maybe... this is just what it means to be a working stiff..."
