After Lucifer left, the Edge Mansion returned to a brief calm.
But the "frenzy" triggered by this incident was spreading online.
The reporters that Lucifer brought in the morning have already published various photos and videos they took.
The disgrace of the lobby being smashed at will, rcenaries being beaten without fighting back, Chu Nanyi kneeling and kowtowing, and so on, were all laid bare for netizens, and the Edge rcenary Corps beca the topic of discussion in an instant.
Dongdong locked herself in her room, sitting in front of the computer, silently watching the highest trending talk show on the video site hopage.
The host looked at the cara, speaking with emotion and expression, "I vaguely rember that last year the Edge rcenary Corps was still the star of attention in all of New Moon City, and I didn’t expect it to turn into this state this year."
The guest remarked rather disdainfully, "I said last year that a team like Edge wouldn’t last long. Their captain, Su Mo, only knows how to play both sides and act like a dog for the City Council, he’s just a pushover weakling."
Dongdong’s fists were clenched tightly, her knuckles turned white, and one could faintly hear the crunching sound of bones being squeezed.
The host pretended to seriously refute, "A pushover weakling? I don’t agree! At least in so aspect, Su Mo is still hard as rock!"
The guest feigned curiosity, "Oh? In what aspect?"
The host pointed between his legs, saying seriously, "Here! Why do you think Miss Death God has such a good relationship with him? Because he’s harder than diamond~"
This dirty joke evoked a burst of laughter at the scene, the audience leaned forward and back, starting to applaud and cheer.
Dongdong’s nails dug into her palms, blood dripped slowly along her knuckles, staining mottled red patches on the carpet.
The host teased leisurely, "This ti Edge was attacked by the Hellhound, and no one dared fight back, which was really surprising. But we can also understand the reason behind it."
"The Hellhound is backed by the Hegemony Company, which has a powerful backing. And Edge, which has climbed up from the bottom, doesn’t have the capital to contend head-on with them."
"I’m very curious, what is their captain Su Mo doing at this mont? Is he busy spending the night with our Miss Death God~"
The guest looked at the cara, raising his hand in a greeting gesture, "Grand Captain Su, if you’re watching this talk show too, listen to my suggestion for you."
Host: "Oh? What brilliant plan did you think of to break the deadlock for him?"
The guest suddenly took off his pants, revealing floral underwear, and pointed his butt towards the cara, "You should find a big shot executive as a sugar daddy, then everything will be solved~"
After saying this, he vigorously shook his hips there.
The scene erupted in thunderous laughter, the host also covered his butt while laughing, exclaiming, "Oh my God, my butt is already having phantom pains."
Anger burned within Dongdong’s eyes, her breathing erratic and rapid, her entire body was trembling.
The host continued colorfully, "It must be said that ’Taiwei Star’ Captain Lucifer is indeed worthy of being ’the leader of the Seven Stars’, letting his subordinates enter the Edge Mansion as employees of the Hegemony Company, this move is simply unbeatable."
"Any Edge rcenary who dares to attack them would bring catastrophic disaster to Edge."
The guest nodded, saying, "Yes, you’re right, this move is unbeatable. But I still have one thing to say to Edge—"
He crossed his legs, showed the middle finger to the cara with both hands, and mockingly said, "Disband! You bunch of wimps who don’t fight back! The rcenary Realm welcos legends who stand and die, not weaklings who kneel and survive!"
Soon, individual sub-windows appeared on the screen, replaying the scenes of Edge Mansion being smashed by Lucifer and others repeatedly.
Dongdong, who was initially enduring her anger, suddenly noticed sothing, squinted her eyes, and dragged the progress bar back.
Host: "Any Edge rcenary who dares to attack them would bring catastrophic disaster to Edge."
She watched it again and dragged it back to listen to the sentence again.
Host: "Any Edge rcenary who dares to attack them..."
Watched again, dragged back again.
"Any Edge rcenary..."
Watched again, dragged back again.
"Any Edge rcenary..."
"Any Edge rcenary..."
Dongdong remained silent for a mont, an unprecedented depth appeared in her eyes, she turned off the computer and left the room.

...
"Knock knock knock."
KK was handling so routine paperwork in the room when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He went to open it and found Dongdong standing outside.
"What brings you here?" KK invited her in, "It’s cold outside, co in."
Dongdong walked in, stood there with her eyes lowered.
KK, being very attentive, knew Dongdong’s mood was stuck on the incident from the morning and couldn’t get over it, he proactively comforted her, "Don’t take this morning’s incident too hard, it’s really not your fault."
"Lucifer is unreasonable, directly using the Hegemony Company to pressure us, there’s nothing we can do about such things."
"But don’t worry too much, Sikinkov is a good brother of the big boss, I contacted him just now, he told us to just swallow this loss and endure it for now."
"If the outside world wants to laugh, let them laugh, it’s not like we’ll lose a chunk of flesh. When the big boss returns, we’ll plan for the long term."
Dongdong did not respond, only quietly asked, "KK, have many people been leaving the team recently?"
KK sighed, "Yeah, ever since the big boss rescued Sister Bai, so people felt things were amiss and have been quitting the team gradually. These people really...the big boss always treated them so well, and they just run off as soon as sothing happens...sigh..."
Dongdong: "How does one confirm that they have officially left the team?"
KK, who usually helps administrative staff, was familiar with this matter, "There are specific procedures for quitting the team in the industry."
"First, sign a contract to terminate the employnt relationship and stamp it, then return team assets like uniforms, ID cards, room keys, and exit all work-related ssage groups, finally send emails to notify all interdiaries working with the team...that completes the process and officially leaves the team."
Dongdong: "After quitting, there’s no relation with the team anymore?"
KK: "Yeah, once you quit, you’re a free person, so of course you’re unrelated to the team."
Dongdong nodded, "Oh...the contract to terminate the employnt relationship and the stamp, are they with you?"
KK felt a bit puzzled, "They are, but why are you asking?"
Dongdong: "Can you show them to ?"
KK: "What’s so interesting about them...it’s just so papers and a stamp."
Dongdong: "Just let see, I also want to learn a bit about administrative stuff, maybe I can help you guys more in the future."
KK couldn’t help but exclaim, "Oh wow! You usually aren’t even willing to read a book, and now you want to learn about administration?"
Dongdong playfully retorted, "What, do you see as just a brute who only knows how to fight?"
KK chuckled, knowing the stamp, an important item, shouldn’t be touched by outsiders.
But Dongdong wasn’t considered an "outsider", so he took the stamp out of the safe.
"Here it is, just this stamp, the employnt termination contracts are on the shelf there, really nothing to see, just so formal docuntation."
Gazing at the stamp, Dongdong inexplicably gave a short laugh; her tone sowhat wistful, she quietly changed the subject, "KK, would you hate for bullying you in the past?"
KK answered without hesitation, "Why would I hate you, not at all."
Dongdong pursed her lips, lightly chuckling, "That’s good...I don’t want you to hate ..."
With that, she opened her arms to KK and playfully said, "We’ve known each other for so long, and every ti we et, it’s always fighting; why not have a hug this ti?"
KK exclaid nervously, "Sis, don’t suddenly be so gentle, it’s like you’ve been possessed, I’m scared..."
Dongdong kicked him playfully, chiding, "You just want to beat you up, is your skin itching?!"
KK said earnestly, "Mm, that’s more like it~ This is the real you."
The two of them burst into laughter, looking at each other with such tacit understanding, neither said a word.
As they gazed into each other’s eyes, the atmosphere gradually grew subtle, and later, no one knew who took the first step, but in this harsh winter, they embraced each other.
Dongdong closed her eyes, gently resting her head on KK’s shoulder.
KK sensed Dongdong’s change in mood, softly asking, "Dongdong, what’s wrong with you..."
Dongdong held KK tighter, rubbing her face against his shoulder like a cat enjoying a warm mont.
"KK..." Her voice was soft and gentle, with a lingering quality like flowing water.
"See you if fate allows."
