Uncle here isn't your average office worker!

That won't do! The word "breach of contract" doesn't exist in Roy's dictionary!

Moreover, Monique didn't need to tell Roy that Marna was very strong.

As a qualified transmigrator, he already had a general idea of ​​Marna Nearl's strength. From being able to fight the Radiant Knight Nearl to a standstill with just a wooden sword in one hand, to single-handedly wiping out a team of fifteen high-ranking rebel knights and Letanian sorcerers, and then to being able to kill the fully armed and desperate commander of the Conqueror's Order with just a borrowed sword, if it weren't for the Rhodes Island rabbit's stronger background and greater potential, based on this record alone, she would definitely be the template for a male protagonist who pretends to be weak but actually does something big in another world.

However, dealing with him is also quite simple, because he doesn't harbor much hostility towards himself or Monique.

This is evident from the fact that he allowed Roy and Monique to communicate for so long. Although the bargaining chip is unknown, it is clear that Hemlock's offer to Marner was only enough to support Marner's "protection" rather than "opposing the Unarmored Alliance".

Roy, on the other hand, held the leverage to negotiate with Marna!

“Mr. Marner, I’m sorry, but the person behind you is my target. If I fail to complete the mission, my colleagues and I may be fired by our ruthless boss. So, can we talk?”

Roy tried his best to appear sincere.

"I know something about your brother."

Marner visibly raised an eyebrow. But to Roy's surprise, Marner quickly calmed down again.

He sighed, pulled out his pen again, and said coldly, "I don't need it anymore."

Roy's expression froze. "What do you mean, Uncle Marner? What's wrong? Don't you want to know where Margaret's parents are?"

Wait a minute, this doesn't fit your persona of a hidden brother complex.

“We can talk, your brother is in Letta…” Roy tried again.

But before she could finish speaking, Marner shook her head again and picked up her pen: "No need."

Roy's lips twitched slightly.

Good grief, this is really asking for trouble! Roy isn't one to back down easily; he won't do something like offering a friendly face only to be met with indifference. Besides, he just unlocked a new module and is currently very active in it!

Seeing this, Roy also stopped smiling, and a hint of coldness appeared on his undeniably handsome face:

So, they just couldn't reach an agreement?

"Alright."

He raised his hand, pulled the hood of his clothes over his head, turned up his collar to cover his face and neck, opened the module page, looked at the second module that had recently appeared, and resolutely chose to confirm the installation.

[Mod S [Bounty Hunter A's Power] is loaded. Current number of loaded mods: 2]

The immense force of moving mountains and filling seas was suddenly poured into his limbs and bones. At this moment, Roy seemed to be able to punch through the supposedly indestructible walls of Lontinim!

Looking at Marna in front of him, Roy struck a pose, clenched his fists, and said boldly, "Try your knife on me!"

P.S.: The ultimate battle for the title of Kazimierz's strongest office worker is about to begin. Please cast your vote as your admission ticket. Thank you!

Volume 1: Chapter 6 Marna, Two Sections on the Power of the Mountain!

Marner never imagined that his ordinary commute home would take so long.

First, the Platinum leader of the Unarmored Alliance suddenly appeared before him, asking for his protection. Then, an unfamiliar female Blue Gold Saint attacked him without saying a word. Fortunately, she was not strong, and Marna successfully repelled her without much trouble. Just as he was about to leave, he didn't expect that after defeating the young one, the old one would come. Even Roy showed up and wanted to have a go with him.

Frankly, Marner had no interest in getting involved in this mess. Whether it was some new conspiracy by the Business Federation or an internal struggle within the Unarmored Alliance, it was none of his business! Marner didn't want to get involved in any of it.

However, the platinum-haired man revealed information that he could not easily ignore—he actually knew the whereabouts of Snitz Nearl.

The most outstanding new generation general of Kazimierz, the role model and symbol of the Lightbringer family and the entire Kazimierz knightly class, and also his brother, the story of how Marna searched for him could not be finished even in three days and three nights.

Marna had no idea what the cowardly assassin hiding behind him was thinking, but he had to protect him this once. Of course, if he was lying, Marna promised to give him a death far more undignified than being purged by the Unarmored Alliance itself.

Do not underestimate the sharpness of the Dark Knight, even though he has concealed his true strength for a long time, and even though he has never accepted this empty title.

Marner held up his pen, which, though only a finger's length long, now resembled a drawn blade in his hand. The radiance of his Lightbringer bloodline slowly emanated from the pen's tip, then solidified on its sharp edge. He glanced at Roy, who was raising his longsword not far away, and his already furrowed brows deepened even further.

Unlike the unfamiliar Monique, Roy was a figure in Marna's mind. Everyone knew that this Azure King of the Unarmored Alliance was famous for his archery skills, but why did he only draw his sword and not use an arrow when he fought against him?

"Like that woman, underestimating your opponent?"

Marna silently told himself, also toning down some of his aura. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to go all out. Otherwise, if he seriously injured Roy, the Unarmored Alliance might be helpless against him, but Maria, that child, didn't have his strength.

But the next second, Roy, whom he thought hadn't used his full strength, suddenly appeared beside him, a long blade slashing powerfully at Hemlock behind him. The speed was so fast that even he almost didn't have time to react.

At the critical moment, Marna gritted her teeth and twisted her body in an almost inhuman way, using the armor on her shoulders to withstand Roy's knife.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The deafening crash of the ground shattering, mixed with the crisp clang of blades clashing against gauntlets, echoed throughout the street. The dust kicked up seemed to shroud the spot where Marna and Roy had first clashed, like a fog. In the raging wind, Monique barely managed to open her eyes and looked toward the center of the battlefield, her pupils immediately widening in shock.

In the center of the battlefield, where Marner had once stood, the golden-haired Pegasus was no longer the arrogant figure he had been. His once upright body was now bent low, unable to straighten up for a long time. The stone paving stones beneath his feet had crumbled, his boots were firmly embedded in two craters, and a deep gash remained on the gauntlet that had withstood Roy's blow, exposing the raw, blood-red skin beneath. And on his face, which usually displayed only indifference and weariness, a third emotion had appeared. Monique recognized that expression; it was the same as her own at that moment—shock!

On the other side of the battlefield, Roy was panting heavily. The expensive D32 alloy steel blade in his hand had shattered completely, its fragments reflecting the pale light on the ground. His arm trembled slightly, seemingly from the recoil of his attack, but compared to Marna, he was clearly more presentable, except for his dusty clothes!

"How is that possible?" Monique exclaimed in surprise.

She had never witnessed Roy in action, but as a fellow Azure Gold Grandmaster, she had always assumed that Roy's strength was roughly equal to hers, with the difference being more in experience.

But to defeat Marner with a single sword strike? Monique knew she couldn't do that even if she had another ten years!

"incredible."

The same astonishment came from his opponent, the overworked wanderer. He knew of the existence of the Unarmored Alliance, and that he could even defeat the legendary Xuan Tie Da Shi, the pinnacle of the Unarmored Alliance. As for Roy, he was merely a Qing Jin.

Marna knew that he hadn't used his full strength. He wasn't carrying a sword, nor was he assuming a knightly stance. He was merely trying to resolve a minor problem. Even at the start of the fight, he had the naive thought of "saving effort and avoiding injury to prevent further trouble." But he was certain that even in this state, he was not someone a mere Azure Gold Grandmaster could suppress.

Besides, Roy didn't use his full strength either.

"Without any set of rules for swordsmanship, and without relying on renowned archery skills, simply by slashing with absolute force, I could feel immense danger and pressure."

Marner straightened up again, capped the pen and put it away, looked at Roy, who had a serious expression, not far away, and said earnestly:

"It seems I underestimated my opponent."

Seeing Marna put down her pen, Roy breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled again: "You're not going to fight anymore? Now you're willing to negotiate with me?"

To be honest, even though Roy knew about Marna's strength beforehand, he had to admit that he had underestimated him when they actually fought.

In that split second of their exchange, Roy had already activated his S-rank module, [Bounty Hunter A Power]. When facing an opponent with the power to split mountains, his strength would be greatly enhanced. Therefore, the force of Roy's slash was at least equivalent to three mountains!

Although it didn't reach the level of a terrestrial immortal like Skadi splitting fifty mountains with a single sword strike, it truly demonstrated that Uncle's power just now was at least equivalent to the power of two mountains; otherwise, Roy couldn't have received such a terrifying boost!

To achieve the power of two mountains solely through physical strength—the corporate slaves of Kazimierz are terrifyingly powerful!

Marna shook his head: "I'm not fighting anymore. Your strength has exceeded my expectations, and I'm not confident I can defeat you right now. Continuing to fight will only bring more trouble than we are now. Besides, I've bought myself enough time."

He stepped aside to make way, and behind him, Hemlock, sensing the danger, had already fled.

Seeing this, Roy winked at Monique beside him. He didn't intend to give chase. Old Platinum didn't have the power to split mountains. He had just managed to create an atmosphere of "Please, I'm very strong!" to intimidate Marner. If he went after him and ended up facing Old Platinum head-on, wouldn't his strength plummet? It would be troublesome if he were exposed then.

Monique immediately understood, nodded gratefully, and stood up to chase after him. As for himself, he curiously asked Marner:

"I'm curious, what did he use to convince you to help? The Dark Knight Marna hasn't made a move in a long time."

Marner glanced at Roy, probably somewhat annoyed by Roy's "familiarity in the face," and pursed his lips, saying:

"About Snitz."

“They’re in Letania,” Roy said immediately. He was eager to get rid of this guy who was competing with him for the title of strongest wage slave, and he didn’t care about this piece of information that was meaningless to him.

But to everyone's surprise, Marner simply nodded indifferently, showing no sign of delight, and replied:

“I know, he already told me.”

"Hemlock?" Now it was Roy's turn to be surprised. How did Old Platinum know about this?

Fortunately, before Roy could ask any questions, Marner explained the answer herself:

"The man's wife is from Letania, and he claims to have seen Snitz and his group in a city in Letania."

As he spoke, he looked at Roy and nodded, as if he had received confirmation from him.

Judging from your expression, he probably wasn't lying.

Was the assassin who caused Old Platinum's office romance and got fired a Letanian? And he even met Margaret's parents?

This was the first time Roy had heard of this information about Margaret's parents' whereabouts. He was very curious, but before he could send a message to Monique asking her to spare Old Platinum's life, Monique's figure had already reappeared at the street corner.

"Mission accomplished." Looking at the astonished Roy, Monique pursed her lips, her expression somewhat grim. "The BOSS personally took action, and..."

"Jingle Bell--"

Monique's words were interrupted by a series of urgent phone rings. Roy pulled the anonymous phone out of his pocket, looked at the numbers, hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone, speaking in a practiced, overworked tone:

"Good evening, boss. There's been a small problem with the task, but I'll take care of it right away. You won't have to worry about it."

“I’ve taken care of it.” A sharp voice, clearly altered by a voice changer, came from the other end of the phone. “Roy, I’d like to see you.”

PS: Roy, Mountain Power, Level 3!

Marna: Hiss, this kid is terrifyingly powerful?!

P.S.: Give me some votes to speed up the plot!

Book 1: Chapter 7 Roy's Undercover Mission

The next morning, Marna woke up at exactly seven o'clock sharp, turned off the alarm clock that had just gone off, stood up, straightened his clothes, opened the door, and went straight to the mailbox by the door.

Under his strict demands, his niece Maria Nearl also developed a reassuring biological clock. When Marna retrieved today's newspaper, Maria also opened her bedroom door.

"Ha—Good morning, Uncle." Maria yawned widely, greeting Marner cheerfully as he walked towards the table with a newspaper. Unfortunately, Marner merely nodded dismissively, his gaze never leaving the newspaper.

Fortunately, Maria was already used to her uncle's temper and wasn't disappointed. She just happily headed to the kitchen. Unlike her uncle, who was all-powerful, her life's skills seemed to be concentrated on practical skills. Her excellent cooking skills successfully won over Marna, earning her the position of head chef in the family kitchen.

Shortly after Maria entered the kitchen, the sizzling sound of bacon being fried could be heard. Marna, as was her habit, poured herself and her niece each a glass of milk, sat down, and began reading the morning paper while drinking her milk.
