Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 26 Knight Commander Chloe
Cohen's conversation with Nephthys was relaxed and casual, completely ignoring the man beside him.

Seeing the normally aloof Nephthys being so intimate with a strange man, Bogus's facial muscles trembled constantly, and his expression became extremely distorted and hideous.
"Nephthys, is this the man you mentioned who signed an employment contract with you?

A lowly mercenary?"

In order to keep a low profile today, Cohen changed into a mercenary outfit.

In addition, there were only a few people watching the game in person yesterday, so Bogus did not recognize that the masked man in front of him was the "Lord of Shadows" who became famous yesterday.

Moreover, the badge showing victory or defeat on Cohen's body has not been changed yet. It is still the badge representing zero record that was issued yesterday.

Nephthys's face was already filled with anger:

"Bogus, I demand that you apologize to the gentleman immediately!"

Seeing the goddess in his heart so protective of this strange man, anger and jealousy made Bogus completely lose the dignity and composure that a noble should have:
"Bitch, you're going to betray me just for this lowly first-rank mercenary?"

Nephthys shook her head at Cohen, as if afraid of being misunderstood by him, and said softly:

"Sir, I have nothing to do with him. I will explain the details to you later."

Bogus's defense was immediately broken, and he roared loudly in anger:

"Someone, someone, get this untouchable out of here!"

The game hadn't started yet and there were spectators sitting around with nothing to do.

Hearing the noise, they all gathered around to watch the fun.

Bogus wore the family crest and the entry certificate in his hand, indicating that he was a VIP from the second floor.

Cohen wore a mask and mercenary clothes, looking ordinary.

A mercenary, a noble, and a beautiful girl.

These elements are enough to make people imagine many twists and turns and interesting storylines.

More and more people gathered around, and soon the knights who were responsible for maintaining law and order in the arena rushed over.

"What's going on? What are you arguing about?"

Seeing a familiar face among the knights, Bogus's momentum suddenly increased. He pointed at Cohen and said:
"Chloe, this pariah stole my things. I demand that you expel him from the arena immediately!"

The Knight Commander named Chloe came up to Cohen and said in a stiff tone:
"Sir, please leave."

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly:
"Give me a reason."

Chloe said impatiently:
"This gentleman accused you of stealing his things. Thieves are not allowed in places favored by the God of War."

Cohen chuckled and said:
"Just based on his one-sided statement, you concluded that I stole it?"

"Are you questioning the credibility of a noble?"

Cohen chuckled and said:
"Don't you think it's awkward to put nobility and reputation together?
Or is it that the Knight Commander guarding the Extraordinary Arena is actually a subordinate of the DuPont family?"

Chloe's face turned completely cold. As more and more people gathered around, he had to show his dignity as the captain of the guard knights.

Chloe took a step forward, pressed the sword at her waist, and shouted coldly:
"As expected, I shouldn't show any decency or respect to lowly people like you. I'll count to three, and get out of here immediately!"

Bogus, standing by, showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He glared at Nephthys and said sarcastically:
"Get out of here! This isn't a place for someone of your status."

There is nothing more satisfying than driving away the "rival in love" in front of the goddess!

Cohen sighed softly and said slowly:

"Being the Knight Commander in the Extraordinary Arena must be a good job."

Chloe's eyes flashed coldly:
"What do you mean?"

Cohen replied calmly:

"It's a pity that you're about to lose your job." Chloe was furious and waved her hand to signal the knight behind her to take action.

Cohen sneered and turned his gaze. Not far away, Raymond had been standing there, watching the development of the situation with great interest.

Chloe looked at the motionless knight behind her and was about to scold him when she suddenly noticed that their eyes were all focused on one place.

Chloe followed the line of sight and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't know when her big boss had arrived here.

He straightened his clothes, walked over with small steps, and saluted respectfully:

"Boss, I found a thief here. I'll take care of him right away."

Raymond ignored Chloe and just looked at Cohen calmly, as if waiting for him to speak.

Raymond had actually arrived a long time ago, but he kept silent and waited for the situation to escalate because he was waiting for Cohen to ask him to do him a favor.

He knew very well the relationship between Chloe and the Dupont family. How could he become the knight commander in the arena of a country's capital without any background?
Of course, he also had a little idea in mind. He wanted to use this incident to suppress his young partner and show his presence to Cohen.

He is at the legendary level and can cooperate with a young man at the first level, but this cooperation must be centered around him.

He wanted to use this incident to warn Cohen not to think that just because he had a little talent he could be on equal footing with him.

This is the pride and dignity of being a legendary.

He waited silently, waiting for Cohen to speak, waiting for him to show weakness to him.

Cohen spoke, but the content of his words made him slightly unhappy:
"Is this what you call cooperation—having your men expel me?"

Raymond narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at Chloe, and said lightly:
"Chloe, this gentleman is not a thief. He is the 'Shadow Lord' who won ten consecutive victories yesterday."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion around. No one expected that today's protagonist would appear without any warning and in a way that no one could have imagined.

Bogus next to him also changed color slightly. He had also heard of the name "Lord of Shadows".

Even his prominent uncle was full of praise for the scenes that took place in the arena yesterday.

He didn't expect that Nephthys would actually get close to this guy. No wonder she was so confident.

A hint of viciousness flashed in Bogus's eyes. No matter how high his talent was, he had only just stepped into the extraordinary realm. Genius, huh, countless geniuses fell in the Demonic Continent every year.

Chloe's expression changed slightly when she heard this. Damn it, she was tricked by that idiot Bogus.

As the Knight Commander of the Arena, he naturally knew how much his boss valued the "Lord of Shadows" yesterday.

What's more, this person has an unclear relationship with the Northwest Inspector of the "Pale Wings" and has a powerful background.

Thinking of this, Chloe instantly put on a warm smile:

"Oh, it's the famous 'Lord of Shadows'. I'm so sorry, I was confused for a moment and bumped into you."

The expression on his face changed so quickly that even Cohen was a little stunned.

Is this what is called nobility?
A fourth-level knight commander apologized to a first-level transcendent, and the onlookers suddenly felt that their high ticket prices today were not wasted.

Before the game even started, I saw a big show.

Raymond also had a smile on his face:
"Okay, Chloe didn't realize who you were after all. Ignorance is not a crime. The competition is about to start. Let's go. Everyone is waiting for your performance today."

Cohen stood there motionless.

He also felt Raymond's arrival at the scene early on, but he did not rescue himself at first.

He understood what Raymond was planning, and he had the same idea as Raymond: they could cooperate, but he must be the main focus!

The smile on Raymond's face gradually froze, and he said:
"Do you have any other ideas, sir?"

Cohen said calmly:
"I think I just said that this Knight Commander should lose his job."
