The Company Fleet's Awkward Predicament: Even a Mighty Dragon Struggles Against a Local Snake

The forceful question rang out like thunder.

The vast Bridge fell deathly silent. The crushing pressure seemed to silence even the sound of breathing.

Gabriel's pupils contracted to pinpoints, his face turning cold.

He noticed the shock on the other employees' faces as they looked at Su Yi.

The emotions he had kept under control began to slip beyond his grasp.

He cared deeply about saving face in front of his subordinates.

He cared about what others thought of him, and whether they respected him.

That was why he used the advantage of his position to berate and suppress subordinates the moment he met them.

It was both a way to display his authority and a way to feed his vanity.

But Su Yi had torn his tried-and-true method to shreds.

Not only had he failed to intimidate the subordinate he had disliked before they even met, he had also failed to win his own subordinates' admiration and awe.

Instead, he had become the clown on the receiving end.

Rage, spite, and murderous intent flooded his heart.

Su Yi immediately barked, "Gabriel! I ask you in the Goddess's name!"

"What exactly are you after?"

Gabriel's face twisted.

He knew he could not answer Su Yi's relentless questions.

The moment he did, he would fall into Su Yi's rhythm and be forced into defending himself.

Then his imposing presence and his dignity would both vanish!

He clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, and stood his ground against the rising heat.

"The Goddess will vindicate me!"

"Gheros, if you've really got the nerve, burn me to death with that Ember Divine Flame!"

This L45 really is something else, Su Yi thought with a sigh.

Gabriel's words were effective.

Without conclusive evidence, Su Yi could hardly kill an L45 in public
