Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 326 Lone Wolf Scott

"That scared me to death!"

March 7th immediately hid behind Himeko, who had just been startled by the sudden appearance of the gadget.

Fortunately, the ingenuity has now succumbed to the power of the star's big stick.

Unfortunately, those shipping containers were badly damaged; they were all smashed, and the goods inside were also destroyed.

Upon seeing this, Su Chang immediately pointed at Scott and shouted, "You tampered with this machine! It's what damaged the other cargo on the ship!"

"Yes, yes, it's you!"

"We all saw it!"

Scott scratched his ear and made a shocked expression.

"Huh? Speak louder, I can't hear you."

Xing walked over, dragging a baseball bat. "Now the evidence is irrefutable, are you still going to deny it?"

"What? Conclusive evidence? Denying it?" Scott pretended not to understand.

"Look closely, this so-called antique monster is not mine at all."

"What?!" Su Chang was somewhat shocked.

"If you don't believe me, you can check the product code label," Scott said nonchalantly.

Xing didn't believe it and immediately picked up the package to check it.

The label read: "[Strong male cockroach, for sale]"

“It really isn’t Scott!” Xing said in disbelief.

"Then why is this thing here?"

"Do I need to ask you that?" Scott said angrily.

"My package only contains that antique vase. Who said the other two items are mine too?"

"I'd like to ask, my vase was perfectly well-packaged, and it almost got smashed. What's going on?"

"It's not broken yet, is it?" Xing said seriously as she wrapped the vase up again.

"Alright, inspection complete, ready to ship."

"Huh? Did I hear that right?" Scott was also shocked by the abstract nature of the star.

"Now that you've caused this mess, it's not right for you not to apologize to me."

Scott looked at Su Chang and said, "You brat, you need to have evidence before you do anything. Don't just bite people randomly."

“You…” Su Chang was so angry that her teeth itched.

"Wait a minute," Himeko suddenly called out to Scott.

Scott looked at Himeko and sneered, "What, does Ms. Himeko have anything else to say?"

"Although your Star Train is very powerful, you can't be unreasonable."

"It was your insistence on inspecting my goods that caused this whole mess."

“And as you’ve seen, there’s nothing wrong with our goods,” Scott said, feigning innocence.

"Speaking of which, the Starry Sky Train should compensate me for my cargo, but considering you are such a prominent figure, I won't make a fuss about it."

"But what do you mean by this now?"

After a series of quick moves, everyone on the dock was completely bewildered by Scott's words.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have been fooled by Scott.

But Himeko, as the navigator, had seen it all and was not about to be fooled by Scott.

Himeko smiled slightly, "Is that so?"

"Can you really say that you have nothing to do with that shipment?"

Scott felt a little uneasy after Himeko's sudden question.

But he was a lone wolf, showing no fear whatsoever, and shamelessly replied, "Of course."

“I remember there was contact information on this,” Himeko said.

"What does that prove?"

"I just don't know which dock worker has the contact information on here."

"Right, Ah Feng?"

As soon as Ji Zi said this, everyone's eyes turned to a short man in the crowd.

Ah Feng immediately waved his hand, "What, what are you talking about?"

"You probably don't know this, but after the message was released, I asked the Chamber of Commerce secretary to strictly monitor all of your accounts."

"Of these, only you received the credit points transferred by the company in the afternoon."

Himeko took out an income and expenditure record, which clearly recorded Afeng's income and expenditure.

"You, you guys..." Afeng panicked immediately.

At that moment, Scott stood in front of him.

“My dear Ms. Himeko, what does this prove?” Scott’s eyes, hidden behind his small black glasses, were unfathomable.

"It's just that the company has taken a fancy to an antique in Mr. Feng's house and wants to buy it."

"A single credit point transaction shouldn't prove anything, right?"

“No, that’s right!” A-Feng echoed.

"You, you're just being sophistical! The evidence is already irrefutable!" March 7 said angrily.

"Hey, don't get angry easily, especially women, or you'll easily turn into an old lady." Scott's tone was very light.

“You…” March 7th stomped her feet in anger.

"So, Mr. Scott, what antiques is Mr. Afon selling?"

"I don't think this should be considered a matter of privacy, right?" Himeko pressed on.

“It’s the machine you just broke. You should compensate me again,” Scott said matter-of-factly.

"Damn it!!" March 7th was so angry that he wanted to beat this guy up.

It's obvious he's making this up, but there's no evidence.

At this moment, Himeko smiled slightly and looked at Hoshi.

Xing, who had been silent all along, realized it was her turn to take the stage.

She suddenly spoke, her voice calm and firm: "Scott, your performance was brilliant, but unfortunately, you overlooked an important detail."

Scott's expression changed slightly, but he still tried to remain calm: "Oh? I'd like to hear more."

Xing slowly walked up to Afeng, giving him a sharp look. Under her gaze, Afeng's body trembled involuntarily.

Then, Star turned around and faced everyone, including Scott, and slowly said, "Do you remember? Scott previously insisted that he knew nothing about the mechanism that damaged the cargo, and even accused our Star Train people of tampering with it."

"Yes." Himeko's lips curled up slightly.

Scott was too hasty; he just gave himself away.

Xing continued, "So, here's the question. Since he already knew that the goods were the machines he bought, why did he pretend not to know them just now?"

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

Everyone immediately realized what was happening and glared angrily at Scott.

Scott's face darkened, but he still tried to argue: "It's just a coincidence, I... just remembered."

“Scott, forget about such terrible acting,” Xing said seriously.

“You need to produce evidence, otherwise it’s still a false accusation.” Scott didn’t back down, and even counter-accused others.

Himeko nodded. "Indeed, we must speak with evidence."

"Since you want evidence, then I'll give it to you."

“Okay, where’s the evidence?” Scott asked.

"The evidence is on you."

Himeko stepped forward and grabbed Scott's sleeve.

It has a thin layer of gold powder on it.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the unique lubricating powder used on the machine."

"Ordinary people don't have access to it."

"Since you say you forgot about buying the machine, it means you haven't received the goods yet. So how do you explain this gold powder?"

"Does Mr. Scott mean to say that he infiltrated the Works Department's restricted area?"

Himeko's words caught Scott off guard.

"How could I..." He looked at his sleeve in disbelief, never expecting that he would make such a basic mistake.

Scott lowered his head. "Fine, I guess I've been outmaneuvered by you guys today."

“Scott, we don’t have…” What else could Afeng possibly argue about?

Scott turned around, his golden eyes beneath his black glasses flashing with sharpness.

"I am a lone wolf. Although I am cunning, I am willing to accept defeat."

“I was outmatched today, let’s go!” Scott turned and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Su Chang stopped him at this moment.

"Little girl, what else do you want to do?" Scott swallowed hard.

"Don't forget our bet! You have to apologize to me in front of everyone!" Su Chang said angrily.

“No! Why should I apologize to you!” Scott immediately retorted.

"Just because you trampled on the efforts of others, just because you used dirty tricks!"

"If my apology can dispel the disheartening feelings of those who love Jinren Lane, I will apologize a hundred times, a thousand times!" Su Chang's voice was firm and resolute.

"But now you're the one who should apologize!"

Scott remained silent for a moment.

“I…I’m sorry, Golden Man Alley…” those words came out of Scott’s mouth.

"Huh? I can't hear you, speak louder." Xing fanned the flames from the side, mimicking Scott's earlier actions.

"I...I want to apologize to the people of Jinren Lane—"

"I'm a blind fool! I'm arrogant and ignorant, all I do is bark and howl!"

Scott's voice suddenly grew louder, and there was no trace of shame on his face.

“You haven’t learned to bark like a dog yet,” Xing continued.

Scott snorted, "Woof! Woof woof woof woof! Woof—woof woof howl—"

A clear, innocent bark came from Scott's mouth.

"Hmm? Why does this dog's bark also contain the howl of a wolf?" March 7th noticed the difference.

"I've already said it, I'm a lone wolf, woof woof woof woof—"

"Is that alright now?" Scott looked at everyone.

"Shameless." Xing gave a thumbs-up, but it was pointing downwards.

"Thank you for the compliment." Scott was very pleased.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait! What else isn't over?!"

"You haven't even mentioned how you secretly sabotaged and framed the dock."

"How could they just leave so easily?"

The dockworkers all rushed forward to stop them.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't be unreasonable!"

“I’ve already learned to bark like a dog,” Scott said immediately.

“That’s a different matter, don’t try to gloss over it,” March 7th immediately stepped forward and said.

"I... I work for the company. What do you want to do?" Scott also became anxious.

"What are you babbling about? Go tell my big stick!"

Xing could no longer hold back and pulled out a baseball bat.

Seeing that something was wrong, Scott immediately tried to escape, but was held down by the dockworkers.

"You, you can't touch me!"

"I have connections! You can't afford to mess with me."

"Background? What background?" Xing scratched his ear.

“Of course she’s an honorary director! She was the one who made the final decision on this project.” Scott didn’t care about anything else.

"Oh, really?" March 7th chuckled.

Scott immediately had a bad feeling.

Just then, Eve's voice suddenly came through.

What are you doing?

Everyone turned around and saw Eve holding Bailu's little hand, while Bailu held a half-eaten string of jujubes in her other hand.

“Eve, you’re back!” March 7th said.

The moment Scott saw Eve, it was like finding a lifeline.

He quickly broke free from the workers' restraints and sprinted towards Eve at top speed, aiming precisely for her thigh.

Eve frowned slightly and dodged it with a quick movement.

Scott bumped headfirst into the cargo behind him, but before he could even feel the pain, he immediately burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably:

“Director Eve! You must stand up for me! You all look down on me and the company, treating the company like it doesn’t exist.”

"They even wanted to beat me up!"

"Even if I have a tiny, minor problem, you can't do this. Isn't this a slap in the face to the company?"

Scott broke down in tears, as if he had suffered a tremendous injustice.

After thinking for a moment, Eve asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Scott, the project specialist sent by the company! You should have seen the materials before!" Scott was a little confused.

“I don’t remember.” Eve shook her head.

Scott was stunned.

“Eve, don’t listen to him, he’s trying to frame me!” March 7th shouted immediately.

"Hmph! That's not up to you!" Scott, taking advantage of Eve's presence, acted arrogantly.

"Our board members are here now! You can't afford to mess with them!"

Xing smiled slightly and shouted, "Mom!"

Scott scoffed upon hearing this, "Hmph, he's even calling for his mother to beg for mercy."

“You have no backbone, I despise you!” Scott said disdainfully.

But then, Eve walked over gently and, to Scott's astonishment, tenderly patted Star's head.

"Yes, Xingbao is a good girl."

"Ah!!" Scott was stunned, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an apple.

No, we're not just friends, we actually have this kind of relationship!

You should have said so earlier! If you had, why would I have barked like a dog and been your dog?

"What's wrong, Starbucks?" Eve continued to ask.

Xing then pointed a finger at Scott, "Mom, he's the one who bullied me!"

"Hmm?" Eve narrowed her eyes, and an intense killing intent immediately pressed down on Scott.

The hunt begins!

"Ahem, Director Eve, please, please let me explain~"

"I'm not..."

Eve smiled at Scott and said, "Alright, you go plant a tree in Belleburg too!"
