Adventurer of the Elf World

Shota was not only caught off guard by Xiu's sudden attack, but also Kurokawa, who was standing by, was shocked.

He had no idea why Xiu tortured Shota again while he was explaining himself.

Xiu didn't care about their reactions at all. He twisted the iron bar with his hands. The sizzling sound of barbecue mixed with the wailing. Shota twisted like a worm, looking extremely ugly.

When Shota's wailing gradually weakened, Xiu threw the iron bar away, then grabbed his hair and lifted his head, looking into his eyes and sternly said:

"Why do you think I didn't come to you after investigating clearly? Are you humiliating my professionalism!"

However, at this time, Shota's eyes were almost white, and he looked so confused that he was almost unconscious.

Xiu naturally couldn't let him pass out like this, so he picked up the water beside him and poured it on his head.

The cold water stimulated him and pulled him back from the edge of coma, but the burning pain in his abdomen took away most of his attention, leaving only a low moan of "Hmm~Hmm~".

The water flow gathered on the ground touched the iron bar with residual heat on the ground, and a sizzling sound suddenly sounded. Shota's body shook uncontrollably as if he was stimulated by something.

"Heh!" Xiu sneered at this, picked up the iron bar on the ground and threw it back into the fire, and said: "Keep talking~ Next time you say something wrong, this thing will be lower..."

After a while of panting, Shota just regained some consciousness. Hearing this, his crotch tightened, and he couldn't even feel the pain in the two parts of his body. He begged for mercy:

"Don't... I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..."

Xiu fell silent again, but Shota couldn't wait to pour out everything.

It wouldn't matter if he didn't say it, but the more he said, the more scared Kurokawa on the side became.

This bastard actually took advantage of his position in just two months to embezzle hundreds of thousands of dollars from the company, from the construction of the bookstore to the pricing of books and the recycling of old books.

"Where did the money go?"

"Part of it is at my home, and part of it is spent by me."

Xiu glanced at him and stretched out his hand towards the iron bar.

Shota just wanted something when he saw this scene.

But Xiu didn't mean to give him a chance. He pressed the red-hot iron bar on him again, but this time he let it go in just a few seconds.

"Ah~"

The previous few times had almost drained his physical strength. This time Shota's resistance seemed a little flat, and his voice was much less, but his half-dead state explained his situation.

"Don't try to be clever in front of me. I'll teach you a lesson this time, and next time..."

The iron bar in Xiu's hand began to move downwards.

This frightened Shota so much that he didn't even have time to slowly experience the pain just now. His eyes were wide open and he stared at the iron bar that was gradually moving down, shouting: "Here! Here! Here! The house I rented is..."

"How much is left?" Xiu looked at him calmly, and then added: "Think it over carefully. If I can't get the money, then you can't have a good life either."

"Less than half..."

Shota said tremblingly, but he was slapped in the face before he finished speaking, and his head was buzzing.

"cnmd! Less than half? How can I explain to the company? You can't live~"

The deafening roar echoed around, and a trace of brutality emanated from him mercilessly.

Shota's skin jumped over the malfunctioning brain and stood up with goosebumps.

Kurokawa on the side also felt a strange breath for no reason, and the air around him seemed to condense. Although it was not facing him, his heartbeat was also uncontrollably soaring.

"Yes! I have money! I hid the rest..."

Just now he was just wailing, but Shota was actually frightened by this sound, his waist was shaking uncontrollably, and a strange smell emanated from him.

Xiu's face under the mask showed a look of disgust, and he took a step back.

Listening to him tremblingly explaining where the money went, Xiu estimated in his mind that the gap was still large, and couldn't help but say irritably:

"If the company didn't value you and promoted you to a middle-level manager, you would still be living on the streets now. Is this how you repay the company?"

The contempt in Xiu's tone was not concealed at all.

Shota, who was already half dead, suddenly became excited and started to defend himself:

"Why can I only sit in a bookstore when I create so much benefits for the company? My salary is even lower than when I was a salesperson? But Kurokawa, who has worse performance than me, can become the person in charge of piracy in Tokiwa City?"

Osamu laughed when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Kurokawa and said:

"Tell him about the company's current business transfer."

Osamu's reaction made Shota subconsciously turn his head to look at Kurokawa beside him.

Kurokawa looked back and forth between the two, then sighed and said:

"The company has long since started to shrink the pirated business. Now it is just shipping. As for sales, it has long been outsourced."

Shota was stunned when he heard this, and before he could digest it, Xiu spoke:

"You don't really think your current position is empty, do you? Piracy is profitable, but it is also shady. If the company wants to grow, it must give up these things to get on the right track. The bookstore you are in is the company's next business expansion direction. Compared with the gradually shrinking pirated business, think about it yourself, does the company really not value you and let you come?"

Xiu's words gave Shota a bad reminder, and he fell silent.

But Xiu's ridicule did not stop.

"Speaking of which, it was the guy 'Yuan' who proposed your position to the boss. It was because she thought you had the potential to be cultivated that she got this position for you.

Working in the bookstore is not for you to count your fingers in boredom. I originally hoped that you could take this opportunity to calm down and read more books to increase your knowledge.

As long as you run the bookstore well and pass the company's test, you will almost certainly be promoted again in the future. It is not impossible to become a senior executive of the company. It's a pity that you didn't pass..."

"What did you say?" Shota seemed a little surprised, and his body couldn't help but lean forward, "Yuan...she is not the boss?"

"What are you thinking! Who told you that she is the boss? She is just an employee like you." Xiu's tone suddenly became weird.

"Don't think your boss doesn't know. He knows everything you do. If it weren't for Yuan who always believed in you and vouched for you, I would have come here a long time ago.

It's just that you did too much and crossed the boss's bottom line. Yuan, who trusted you and vouched for you, was badly implicated by you~

I heard that you were recruited by her. She actually believed in someone like you. She is such a fool!"

"Asshole! What did you say!"
