The masked man burst out laughing, “Mr. Rosewood, you’re really funny. You want me to work for your company? First, you gotta be able to pay my salary. He glanced at the card in his hand, his eyes full of scorn.

Scott was so angry he could almost bite his teeth, off, but he managed to hold his anger in.

The inasked man noticed all Scott’s little expressions and had a playful smirk on his lips. “If there’s nothing else, Mr. Rosewood, I’m leaving.” With that, he turned and left.

He had just fixed the Rosewood Group’s network system, but he also messed with it a bit. It wasn’t a big deal, just added something small.

He thought it wouldn’t be long before the network crashed again. This was his gift to Ace and a lesson for Scott.

After solving the network crisis, Scott finally let out a sigh of relief. He went to the underground parking lot.

Just as he was about to get in his car, someone put a bag over his head from behind, and everything went black. Then, he got punched and kicked.

The person beating him was really good, like someone who had professional training. Every punch was fast and landed hard, making Scott wince in pain.

He wanted to fight back, but his hands were held down, and he was helpless.

After a while of beating, the person finally let go. Before leaving, they gave Scott a really hard hit on the head, no holding back.

Scott’s vision got blurry, and he fell down right away.

Max looked at Scott lying in front of him and nudged him with his foot. Seeing that there was no reaction, he started to walk away, but then he took two steps and turned back.

Max thought, ‘Just leaving him here... doesn’t seem right. There is a dumpster not too far away!

Thinking that, he grabbed Scott by the ankles. He dragged Scott, not caring about the bumps, and just pulled him forward.

Standing next to the trash can, he used just a little bit of his strength to lift Scott like he was a little chick and easily threw him into the trash can. He clapped his hands, satisfied.

“That’s right, trash belongs in the trash can,” Max laughed to himself, happy with his win. “That’s what you get for bothering Elysia. If I get mad again, you’ll be living in the trash can.”

After everything was done, Max left the parking lot happily.

Scott stayed in the trash can for about two hours before someone who came to the parking lot to get their car found him and pulled him out.

After pulling him out, they were shocked to see Scott. The man was Hubert Levine. Scott’s subordinate.

Hubert exclaimed, “Isn’t this Mr. Rosewood? How did he end up in the trash can?”

The smell from Scott was really strong. Holding back the urge to puke, Hubert shook him hard. “Mr. Rosewood, are you okay?”

Seeing no response, Hubert took out a bottle of water, opened the cap, and poured it on Scott’s face. That finally woke up Scott.

As soon as Scott came to, he quickly sat up from the ground. But as soon as he moved, a sharp pain shot through his waist, and his head hurt really bad.

Chapter 205 Holding his head, he tried hard to remember what just happened. Someone put a bag over his head and beat him up. He didn’t know who would do something like that to him.

Hubert asked, “Mr. Rosewood, are you alright?”

Scott finally noticed the person next to him–it was the company’s sales director. He knew it was Hubert who saved him.

Seeing Scott stay quiet, Hubert quickly explained, “Mr. Rosewood, I came to get my car and saw you... in the trash bin, so I helped you out. Why were you...”

Hubert didn’t finish his sentence, but Scott already knew what he meant. Scott rolled his eyes, thinking, ‘He just wanted to ask why I was in the trash can.

‘Seriously? Who would crawl into a trash bin for fun? If I hadn’t been attacked, I wouldn’t be in this situation.

Forcing himself to stand the intense pain, Scott stood up and warned Hubert, “If you dare tell anyone about this, your director job is gone.” With that, he limped away.

Watching Scott’s leaving figure, Hubert felt bad. If it wasn’t for him, Scott would still be lying in the trash can. Not being thanked was one thing, but Scott should threaten him with his job.

Hubert got to this position because of his performance and ability, not Scott’s help. Scott had no right to look down on him.

Scott was so angry he couldn’t think straight, his mind full of frustration. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such mean things.

He opened the car door and got into the driver’s seat. Looking at his swollen and bruised face in the mirror, his anger got even stronger. He had no idea who would treat him like this.

He seethed, ‘And they even threw me in the trash can! What did that mean? Did they think I was trash? Once I found out who did it, I’d make them pay!‘

Thinking about when the network system was hacked and connecting it to when he was set up, Scott felt a shiver down his spine. He murmured, “Could it be the same group behind this?

“How did I make them mad? Could Elysia have sent these people? Otherwise, why has there been so much trouble since she left?”

The more Scott thought about it, the more frustrated he got. If he’d known Elysia would turn against him, he would have been tougher on her before.

Ignoring the pain all over his body, he started the car and drove out of the underground parking lot.

At Arcanum House, Max was telling the story of how he gave Scott a good beating, beaming with pride. “Hey, Elysia, what do you think? Am I awesome?”

Elysia praised, “You are totally amazing! You’re the famous King of Fighters from Clusia! Beating up Scott was a piece of cake for you!”

Hearing this, Max waved his hand and said, “You’re just trying to make me feel good, sweetheart. How many years has it been?

Now, the real King of Fighters is you.”

The fighting tournament was held once a year. When Elysia was fifteen, she stepped onto the stage for the first time and became famous right away. In every competition after that, whenever she joined, she always won.

Since then, there had been so many stories in the fighting world about her. People said she was the new King of Fighters.

Everyone admired her a lot.

Chapter 205 Because she always wore a mask during competitions, no one knew what she really looked like, and that made them even more curious.

In the martial arts world, there was an unwritten rule: if anyone could beat her, she would take off her mask. But after all these years, no one had ever been able to beat her.

Because of this, she was called the new King of Fighters, and her unbeatable skills and mysterious feeling had made her get a lot of fans.

Hearing Max’s words, Elysia gave a cheeky smile. “Well, that is because I have a good master.”

Max chuckled at this, and Nicole, watching them, said, “Of course, thanks. Your skills must be out of this world!”
