Scott saw Kenta suddenly fall silent, thinking that the other party was scared.
Just as he was about to continue his taunts, he saw the man shake his head.
"The Carefree Wanderer will not accept anything from your company."
Kenta spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Scott immediately flared up again.
"Joke, do you understand the Carefree Wanderer or do I understand the Carefree Wanderer? I did a thorough investigation before coming here! Although your Luofu's confidentiality measures are excellent, I have very carefully studied the information he left behind a thousand years ago."
Kenta:
'The person who understands me best isn't actually myself? That's quite interesting.'
He suddenly felt that the Scott in front of him wasn't as annoying anymore; on the contrary, he looked at him with a hint of—pity.
'Poor Scott, if your superiors knew that you left a negative impression on the target you intended to befriend as soon as you arrived, I wonder how your boss would deal with you when you return?'
Kenta didn't care about any of that. He showed Scott a playful smile.
"By the way, Mister Scott, aren't you going to ask who I am?"
"Huh?"
Scott immediately spread his hands in displeasure.
"What are you? Why should I care about the identity of a—nobody? Do you think you're the Carefree Wanderer? Hahaha."
Suddenly, his phone rang in his pants pocket.
"Hmm?"
He took out his phone and glanced at the caller's name.
[Boss I'll Overthrow Sooner Or Later]
Scott immediately put on a fawning smile and cleared his throat.
"Hello, Boss, what's up?"
A deep male voice was heard from his phone.
"Oh, Scott, the Xianzhou previously completely blocked all information about that Carefree Wanderer, but we still managed to get some recent photos of him using some methods. I'm sending them to you now, take a look. Remember, you absolutely must not antagonize him! The higher-ups attach great importance to him."
After speaking, the boss hung up the phone.
As soon as the call ended, Scott's fawning expression immediately vanished.
"Tch, old man, I'll drag you down sooner or later!"
He secretly spat, then opened the photo while speaking.
"Alright, gentlemen, I have to leave first. You all can take your time here, think hard, and figure out how to pay me back the rent..."
Suddenly, his words stopped.
Scott looked at the photo on his phone with a stiff expression, even repeatedly tapping it and turning his screen on and off, as if he didn't believe his eyes.
He raised his phone a little, aligning it with Kenta's face.
Scott:
"..."
"!!!"
He suddenly rushed to Kenta's feet with lightning speed, then flopped down and directly hugged one of Kenta's calves.
"Sir, sir, I didn't know you were the Carefree Wanderer! I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now. Oh, I was just joking when I said those things! Does Lord Carefree Wanderer find me very humorous?"
Kenta:
'I still prefer your arrogant look from before.'
Xing, still clinging to Kenta, kicked Scott's hand, which was gripping Kenta's calf, with a look of disgust.
Kenta saw Scott's instantaneous change of expression and a smirk played on his lips.
"Oh, you recognize me now? Do you want to report me to the Cloud Knights? Say that I insulted your character?"
Scott's expression froze at these words, then he immediately smiled again like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Oh, I find that you really like to take things seriously. How about this, I'll apologize for my offense just now."
Kenta timely raised his hand to interrupt him.
He then lifted the little gray raccoon still clinging to him and showed a mischievous smile.
"Commissioner Scott, you wouldn't want your boss to know you messed things up, would you?"
The man's expression froze at Kenta's words, then he spoke with a slight tremor.
"Then, then... what can I do for Mister Kenta to forgive me?"
Kenta was waiting for that very question.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately freed a hand, pointing his index finger at Scott's head.
"Good! Commissioner P17 Scott! I now order you to raise your fist and charge it, remember to charge it, then forcefully punch your High Player 200 times! I know this is hard, but it's an order!!!"
After saying this, he ignored Scott's reaction, gestured with his eyes to Li Sushang, who was dumbfounded at the side, and then turned to leave.
Scott, left behind, looked as if he had eaten Da Vinci. He looked at Kenta's departing back, then at the surrounding onlookers, and then at his subordinate beside him.
'Do I really have to hit myself?'
He asked himself this in his heart.
But in a moment, he made up his mind.
'Don't be afraid, Scott! To climb up, you must be ruthless... Remember, you are a lone wolf!'
And so, with that belief, Scott slowly raised his fist.

"Kenta..."
Shifting perspective to the other side, Xing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly called Kenta's name.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Kenta responded softly, looking at the girl lying in his arms, feeling instantly relaxed.
"That thing you cursed him with earlier..."
"Cough!"
Kenta coughed violently, remembering the earlier phrase "I f*ck your mom." He first calmed his fluctuating emotions before continuing to answer.
"Don't mind it, that's not a polite thing to say. Just hear it and forget it."
To his surprise, Xing shook her head.
"That's not what I meant."
"Hmm?"
Now it was Kenta's turn to be full of questions.
"Then what do you want to say?"
Xing lifted her head from the man's shoulder, her golden eyes staring unblinkingly at Kenta.
She spoke, her tone incredibly serious.
"Don't fck them, fck me."
Kenta:
"..."
'Families in front of the screen, do you think I should agree?'
After a long silence, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"Xing, when we return to the Astral Express this time, I'm confiscating your galagame."
"Ah! No!"
Xing immediately let out a cute cry.
Sushang, walking beside the two:
"..."
'Is this really something I can hear without paying?'
After a good amount of commotion, the two finally quieted down.
At this moment, Xing slowly leaned towards Kenta's ear. Her voice was sticky and had a seductive undertone.
"Kenta, come closer, I have something to tell you."
"???"
Kenta heard this and didn't suspect much, leaning his head closer.
"Boop."
Suddenly, Xing turned her head and pressed her lips against Kenta's. The kiss was fleeting, a quick touch, but it was full of the young girl's deep affection.
