March 7th: Oh right, they didn't secretly dispose of all the gold dust, did they?
Himeko: @March7, you're still young, don't meddle in adult matters.
[The scene shifts again; dark clouds gather, and rain pours down. On this desolate wasteland, Kakawasha's older sister kneels, gently embracing young Kakawasha, her voice tender.]
"We must part ways here, Kakavasya. The Katika people are coming."
Young Kakawasha, her voice trembling with tears, wiped the droplets from her face—a mixture of rain and tears.
"Why...the Katikas have already taken all our money and food, and killed our parents, what else do they want?"
[Kakawasha's sister gently stroked Kakawasha's face, her voice heavy, but she still tried her best to comfort him:]
"The Katikas are bloodthirsty, cruel, and insatiable. They want everything, so they get nothing."
"This is a scheme, a revenge plot. Remember? Today is Kakawa Day, and also your birthday."
"They know the Evikinians will hold their festival on this day. They'll use this rain to destroy our caravan and steal everything they want."
"But the Katikas don't know that this time we will fight back, and the men in black from the sky are on our side. The Katikas have no chance against them and will surely pay the price for their arrogance."
"Without this rain, the Katika people wouldn't have acted, and we wouldn't have had a chance to maneuver. It's all thanks to the Mother Goddess. And you, Kakavasya, your good fortune will bless your sister's success."
Young Kakawasha was still reluctant to part, her voice trembling as she tried to persuade him to stay.
"But...but people will die, and you'll be in danger...This isn't good luck! Why are you doing this...?"
"The Evgeny are vengeful. My mother is calling me, my parents are waiting for me, and I must respond. But He will grant you good fortune and let you live."
"As long as you live, the blood of the Evikin will never run dry. So run, Kakawasha, don't be afraid, don't look back. Go to the other side of the mountain. The rain will always be with you, the rain will protect you."
"And we will meet again under the aurora borealis in Kakawa next time."
[With that, Kakawasha's sister and Kakawasha exchanged palm strikes for the last time.]
"May the Mother Goddess close her eyes thrice for you..."
"May your blood forever beat..."
"Always face the journey with equanimity..."
"...the trick will never be exposed."
"Goodbye, Kakavasya."
[The screen then went dark, followed by the sound of interstellar peace announcements.]
[“Interstellar Peace News Flash: A spokesperson for the company’s marketing department confirmed that a small-scale rebellion broke out in the Tzigonia sector, which is currently under control.”]
[“The rebels come from a local clan called the Katika, who have long harbored resentment towards the company and have had a serious negative impact on the market development department’s work in the area—”]
[“The clan launched a massive attack on the Evgeny clan, which was under the protection of the corporation, resulting in 6728 deaths and 3452 missing persons. The wounded have been taken in by the medical relief organization ‘Trauma Front’.”]
[“The spokesperson expressed deep condolences for this profound humanitarian tragedy and addressed an important message to all interstellar citizens on this matter—”]
[Finally, he stated that the mighty hammer of preservation would fall upon all life, regardless of birth or death, race, or ideology, and would defend the fundamental rights inherent in all of us...]
"Potio: @Oswaldo Schneider, your baby is a real baby, I'm going to swear to your baby..."
"March 7: This is clearly fraud. The company premeditated this disaster. Even I could see it."
"Danheng: I'm glad you have self-awareness, but I also hope you never get to experience the dark side of Pioneer."
Silver Wolf: With something like this, won't the company be in big trouble?
"Aha: Waaaaah, a scoundrel has appeared under Akivili's command! If Akivili knew, wouldn't he be furious enough to come back to life?"
"Pam: It's Pam, the former unknown guest!"
Himeko: Calm down, conductor.
"Qingque: Is this company really not going to come out and give an explanation?"
Gui Naifen: I can't take it anymore, this makes me furious. I'm boycotting the company's products from now on.
Seele: Luckily I didn't sell myself to the company back then, otherwise who knows what kind of mess they would have made of me.
"Topa: Please do not generalize the actions of certain individuals to the entire company."
Netizen A: Ha, what difference does it make to us ordinary people? We can't afford to gamble on whether you're good or bad, okay?
"Luofu Netizen A: Indeed, at least most of the corporate dogs I've met aren't good people."
"Silver Branch: Such disgusting behavior is something even the pure and beautiful cannot tolerate. I, the pure and beautiful knight Silver Branch, am more than willing to assist Lord Potio in carrying out any punishment against him."
Jiang Lin: It seems the company has issued an announcement; you can go check it out.
"Star: I saw it, I saw it, it's about Oswaldo Schneider."
As soon as Jiang Lin said this, countless people flooded the company's official website. Under such an impact, even the company's latest system crashed.
Even with tens of thousands of network repair technicians working tirelessly to fix the problem, they are still at a loss.
Fortunately, Silver Wolf, who had entered early, captured the announcement and posted it in the live stream, instantly attracting the attention of countless people.
Chapter 87 Diamonds: I Made My Move
"Oswaldo Schneider..."
Although a long time has passed, when Sand Gold saw this scene again, he still couldn't help but feel furious.
Over the years, he has dealt with some of the parasites, but not others. Of course, the one that Sand Gold most wanted to get rid of was Oswaldo Schneider.
But Sand Gold had to admit that this shady fellow was indeed ruthless, and even he couldn't find a weakness to bring him down.
After a moment, Sand Gold took a deep breath and looked at the announcement that Silver Wolf had taken from the company's official website.
Although he has special access due to his level, it's not as convenient as watching the live stream directly.
After all, when Elio saw that it was Silver Wolf who had taken the screenshot, he immediately pinned it to the top so that everyone could see it.
After seeing the contents, Sand Gold, who had calmed down slightly, clenched his fists again.
[Announcement Regarding the Incident Involving Oswaldo Schneider, Head of Market Development]
Recently, the past of Oswaldo Schneider, a member of our management team, has attracted worldwide attention, and the company has quickly completed its investigation.
An investigation has confirmed that Oswaldo Schneider and his subordinates did engage in inappropriate behavior that violated interstellar professional ethics and damaged the company's image. The company expresses its deepest apologies.
The personnel involved have been given internal warnings and removed from their positions. Oswaldo Schneider has been suspended from his duties, his quarterly performance bonus has been deducted, and he has been ordered to submit a thorough self-criticism.
The company will strengthen employee training and improve its oversight mechanisms.
We thank everyone for their oversight. Our company will adhere to compliance standards and repay your trust. Finally, please believe that the Amber King's hammer will surely fall upon all life.
"Silver Wolf: Suspension for reflection? Deduction of performance bonus? Order to write a self-criticism? Heh..."
Su Chang: Um... is this light or heavy?
"March 7th: It shouldn't be too heavy, right?"
Jiang Lin: Paid leave.
"Potio: I'm so angry I'm laughing. Just don't let me see him on some resort island, or else... hehe."
"Qingque: What can we, as NPCs in this world, say? At least a bunch of parasites have left."
Gui Naifen: But isn't the biggest termite still there?
In the dream, after calming down once again, Sand Gold couldn't help but fall into thought.
Why? How come he was unharmed?
Although this exposure has greatly diminished the influence of Oswaldo Schneider, that parasite, he is still the head of a department.
Just moments later, Sand Gold began to have some ideas.
In that tragedy, the Evikin tribe, the biggest victim, had vanished, leaving him all alone...
Most of those who survived were beneficiaries of the existing system, so naturally they wouldn't speak up.
Thinking of this, Sand Gold suddenly smiled.
Will things really end there? No, things will never end there.
Because... there are many people who are eyeing Oswald Schneider's position.
At that moment, a prominent figure spoke up in the live stream.
"Diamond: I, Diamond, Head of Strategic Investments, for the sake of interstellar peace, will soon formally submit a proposal to the Board of Directors to remove Oswaldo Schneider from all positions within the company."
"Placer Gold: Agree."
Topa: Agreed.
......
"Jadeite, agate, amber, sugil, pearl, agate, dragon crystal, opal: Agreed."
In an instant, not only the ten Stone Hearts, but also many more ordinary people, Destiny Walkers, and the actual rulers of countless planets all expressed their agreement.
Yes, Oswaldo Schneider's position is too high. Some lower-level civilizations, some ordinary people, or some weaker Fate Walkers cannot guarantee that if they openly resist this head of the market development department, they or their hometowns will be implicated.
Now that someone is taking the lead, they naturally choose to follow without hesitation.
Those who are not afraid of Oswald Schneider are mostly in high positions, and their words and actions require careful consideration, sometimes even several days of meetings, which does not allow them to immediately uphold justice.
Of course, the sea patrol rangers are an exception; most of them have already begun their operations...
Seeing this, Sand Gold breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Then he remembered his mission. Hmm, Toppa, Emerald has its own mission.
Of course, he also had some gold dust. Thinking this, he wandered around the dream a few more times. After failing to find the person he wanted to see, he decisively left the dream and returned to reality.
"That despicable guy has been dismissed by the train conductor. Don't mention his name in front of the conductor again."
Pam looked furious, while Xing and March 7th, standing beside her, didn't dare to say a word.
They had never seen Pam so angry.
Himeko then spoke up to comfort him.
"Okay, Pam, calm down. Want a cup of coffee?"
Pam: ......
