Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

"Mr. White, over here!"

Upon seeing this group of people, Patrick Scott instantly felt rejuvenated. 

His whole demeanor relaxed, and he had the look of a petty person who had just achieved his wish. 

With the effort of the seductive woman next to him, he slowly stood up.

White, who had met John before, furrowed his brows and walked over, "Manager Scott, what on earth is going on?"

Patrick Scott embellished the story. 

In his version, he became a victim, while John was the villain who attacked him without provocation and left him in this state.

White looked skeptical. 

He knew all too well what kind of person Patrick Scott was. 

The fat man was always greedy and lecherous, causing trouble for many young and beautiful girls. 

However, his work capability was indeed good, which was why the group had tolerated him till now.

Following the direction of Patrick Scott's pointing, White spotted Emma at first glance. 

Having been by Benjamin Taylor's side since the inception of the Taylor Group, he was a company veteran. 

His experiences had made him incredibly insightful, and he instantly understood what had transpired.

White promptly interrupted Patrick Scott's exaggerated narration, and turned his gaze towards John. 

John, at that moment, was facing away from everyone else, carefully browsing the suits in front of him. 

White didn't see his face but found his figure vaguely familiar. 

Nevertheless, he didn't think too much about it and directly addressed John, "Young man, you injured someone and even dared to stay. I must admit, you've got guts. Shouldn't you give me an explanation now?"

John kept his back to them, not responding immediately. 

Now, White was even more baffled. 

Faced with his questioning, the young man dared to display an attitude of disregard. 

Who gave him the courage?

In reality, White was reluctant to get involved in this matter. 

His relationship with Patrick Scott was just so-so. 

However, when Benjamin Taylor established the company, he set a rule to win people over. 

That was, the company must unconditionally protect all employees' interests. 

No matter what happens, their first duty is to protect their colleagues and subordinates. 

That's why White had no choice but to bring the security team here.

"Young man, I'm talking to you," White's tone became increasingly stern. 

John finally turned his head around, giving White a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Is it you?" Seeing John's face, White was suddenly taken aback.

John gave a faint smile and greeted casually, "It's only been a few days, and I never expected to meet you in such circumstances. Only now do I learn that your surname is Liu, how rude of me…"

White fell silent. 

The young man before him wasn't someone he could afford to mess with. 

Not to mention that he was the lifesaver of his boss's daughter. 

After learning about John's in-game ID in Godslayer, the chairman, Benjamin Taylor, repeatedly urged him to maintain a good relationship with this young man named John.

At first, White thought the chairman was simply grateful to John for saving his daughter. 

It wasn't until he delivered the invitations a couple of days ago and returned, that Benjamin Taylor summoned White to his office. 

Alone together, Benjamin revealed the real reason. 

The chairman valued John so highly because of his in-game identity as "Galewind".

Indeed, after the local evening news reporter revealed John's game identity, Benjamin Taylor had decided to win over John at any cost. 

As a top-tier billionaire with a net worth exceeding ten billion, Benjamin Taylor had access to some high-end secrets. 

Although he wasn't entirely sure why governments worldwide attached such importance to Godslayer, the rumors suggested that the game could potentially impact the world's future.

Thus, when Godslayer first became public, Benjamin Taylor poured substantial funds into setting up a gaming studio, recruiting top players to join the game. 

Based on his inside information, the more powerful one became in Godslayer, the higher their status would be in the real world. 

But the studio that Benjamin Taylor had generously funded didn't make much progress. 

Their development within Godslayer was always bumpy.

Only after learning that John had become the mysterious and powerful "Galewind" in Godslayer, did Benjamin Taylor decide to win over John at all costs. 

He even sent John an invitation to his daughter's birthday party. "This young man must become a friend of Taylor Group by any means necessary. We must not make him our enemy, no matter the cost…"

Recalling the chairman's words, White looked at John's cryptic smile and bitterly chuckled, "So, it's Mr. Foster. What a twist of fate..."

John cut him off mid-sentence, "Don't start with the whole ' What a twist of fate…' thing. I'm not a part of your Taylor Group. I'm just wondering how you're going to handle me now, Mr. White?"

White forced a laugh and replied helplessly, "Mr. Foster, you're jesting. You are a distinguished guest of our chairman. There's no question of 'handling' you. We just hope you won't hold this against us."

John shrugged, then flashed a brilliant smile at Emma, "See, I told you it's no big deal."

Emma could hardly believe it.

White, who seemed to be fiercely intimidating, was surprisingly polite to John. 

Emma happily clung to John's arm, thinking her man was just too capable, able to make Taylor Group bow their heads in front of him.

Meanwhile, Patrick Scott, who was standing nearby, was utterly flabbergasted. 

He could never have imagined that the head of his corporation's security department, the third in command of the corporation, would be so submissive to a young man. 

As though something dawned on him, Patrick's face turned pale. 

He stuttered, attempting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out. 

The glamorous woman assisting him looked equally shocked. 

This silly woman wracked her brains but couldn't figure out why things had taken such a drastic turn.

John, looking at the awkwardly smiling White, suddenly posed a pointed question: "If, I mean if, it weren't me standing here today, how would you have handled this situation?"

Seeing John's gaze sharpen, White dropped his awkward smile. 

He understood that his response would shape John's overall impression of the Taylor Group. 

After considering his answer, White said, "If it weren't you, if it were someone else, we wouldn't bully them. You can be assured of this. Our chairman always teaches us to be humble and low-key."

John, appearing impatient, replied, "Just tell me what you would do."

White responded seriously, "We would do everything to ascertain the truth. If it's our employee's mistake, we'd have them apologize. If it's the fault of the other party, then as per our custom, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

John suddenly burst into laughter. 

He was quite satisfied with White's answer. 

At least they wouldn't blindly defend their own. 

As for whether White was being truthful, John didn't care. 

After all, the world isn't black and white. 

The Taylor Group couldn't have grown to its current size by being innocent little lambs...

Seeing John appeared content, White breathed a sigh of relief. 

He had been genuinely afraid of accidentally offending John, potentially sabotaging the chairman's plans. 

Thinking of how he had nearly made an enemy of John, White felt a surge of anger. 

He suddenly turned to Patrick Scott, who was still in shock.

"Manager Scott, aren't you going to apologize to Mr. Foster?" White's angry shout startled Patrick Scott, making him tremble. 

The idea of apologizing to John was something Patrick couldn't believe.

Driven by some inexplicable courage, Patrick roared in anger, "Why should I apologize to him? It's clear that I'm the one who's been wronged!"

White's face darkened immediately, his eyes frosty. 

"Idiot," he said coldly, "They retaliated because you offended them first. You even had the audacity to flirt with someone else's girlfriend. It seems that the Taylor Group has been too lenient with you over the years!"

"If you want to keep this job, roll over here and apologize sincerely, and promise not to abuse the name of the Taylor Group for mischief anymore. Otherwise, not only will the group fire you, but it will also hold you legally responsible for damaging its reputation!"

Patrick Scott was so angry his lips were trembling. 

However, he didn't dare meet the increasingly icy gaze of White. 

He knew very well that White indeed had the power to fire him. 

After all, he was just a minor manager in a department of the group. 

And White here was a member of the group's board of directors, the third in command, a real executive.

But the thought of apologizing to the scoundrel who hit him was utterly humiliating for Patrick. 

Especially the mocking gaze from John, which felt like needles piercing into Patrick's heart.

Seeing White's patience being gradually worn away, Patrick knew he had to make a choice. 

His face shifting between anger and dismay, he remained silent for a long time. Finally, with the assistance of the glamorous woman, he limped to John.

Lowering his head, Patrick Scott struggled to say, "I apologize, Mr. Foster, I was wrong." He tried hard to hide the resentment on his face, feeling as though even the whispers of the onlooking crowd were mocking him.
