Arknights' Lock of Heaven

How can you be so careless?

Platinum glanced at the spot where the infected were hiding, then turned and left.

"I have other tasks. You can handle this minor matter of dealing with infected people."

"No matter how much the Supervisory Council and the Business Federation are at odds, they wouldn't do something like keeping a bunch of infected people in the Grand Knight Territory."

"The nobles don't care whether the infected live or die, do they?"

She ruthlessly exposed that the so-called mission to crack down on the hidden power of the Securities and Futures Commission was actually a private job for some business association directors, and then turned and left.

Over the years, I've compromised enough with this world.

This time, I'll just follow my own heart.

After all, the recent missions haven't been going quite right.

Some people are stirring and unwilling to be restrained.

I need to find a way out for myself.

But where can we find a way out?

Platinum was so worried.

Watching her departing figure, not a single assassin from the Unarmored Alliance dared to stop her.

After all, she is still nominally a Platinum-level official.

At most, I'll just go and tattle on him to Qingjin.

With that in mind, the seasoned assassins ignored her and instead drew their weapons in unison, quickly moving toward the area where the infected were gathered.

But no one noticed that a figure was watching their actions with great interest.

Seeing them raise their weapons to attack the unarmed infected, the man waved his hand, and countless snake-like Sky Locks swarmed out. In just a few breaths, no one could struggle anymore.

From the beginning to the end, they didn't even make a sound.

So much so that their Platinum status was completely unaware of this.

"Oh dear, what should I do?" Hinterlea sighed, feeling lost about the future.

Although she couldn't bring herself to harm the infected, this was only when the mission wasn't mandatory.

Even platinum level cannot change the tasks assigned above.

Lapis lazuli won't work either.

Platinum had witnessed firsthand the scene of those two lapis lazuli men being scolded like dogs by the board of directors of the Business Federation.

Oh, I was scolded along with them back then.

That reprimand lasted a full hour, thirty-six minutes, and twenty-eight seconds.

Only that director spoke throughout the entire session; as for the Unarmed Alliance, well, it seems we didn't even have the right to say a word.

From that moment on, Hintelia understood the essence of the Unarmored Alliance.

Even if they can swagger around in front of the knights, they are nothing but dogs in front of the Business Federation.

It makes no difference.

While pondering how to escape this damned organization, Platinum casually plucked the bowstring in his hand, completely unaware that he had become a lone commander.

Until a faint golden light emanated from behind him.

She turned around in confusion.

He then saw his men, who had been lively and full of different thoughts just moments before, now hanging in mid-air.

Hmm, judging by how twisted that neck is, it's definitely dead.

And a guy with green hair who made you feel ashamed was looking at you with a big smile.

Platinum's hair stood on end instantly, his body tensed, and he gripped the bow tightly in his hand.

"when……"

He didn't even feel a thing, and yet his twenty-odd men were gone?

Even if it's Azure Gold, it would take some time to kill them all, right?

These are all skilled fighters that the Unarmored Alliance has discovered over the years.

Let alone lapis lazuli, she doubted whether even the legendary black iron could accomplish such a feat.

He'd only taken a few steps! And his men were all wiped out?

While it's true that if you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet, this karma came way too fast.

I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this area today.

"Hey, good evening," the man who had clearly wiped out his men said at that moment, "Have you eaten?"

"Ok?"

What the hell?

Platinum's palms were sweaty as he held the bow.

What the hell is this problem?

You killed all my men and then asked me if I had eaten.

Is it me or you who has the problem?

Or is there something wrong with us?

Although she had a lot of complaints to vent, Miss Platinum was still able to see the situation clearly.

They have the bigger fist, so they can't be the ones with the problem.

So it can only be myself.

"Not yet," she answered honestly, "I'm just about to go eat after I finish my work."

“Perfect timing. I’m new to the Grand Knight’s territory and don’t know the way,” the man opposite him said with an unusually bright smile. “Why don’t you take me to a decent restaurant?”

178 Oh no, is this what it feels like to fall in love?

who am I?

where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

These are all questions worth pondering.

This is especially true for platinum products now, and it's something worth pondering.

She looked at the man elegantly eating his steak with a complicated expression, unsure of what to say.

I thought you were just teasing me when you told me you wanted to go somewhere to eat...

I never expected you to be serious!

When Platinum first saw him, he knew that this man was not someone he could defeat.

We can only outsmart them.

We can't beat them at all!!!

Fortunately, with a "what the heck" attitude, I turned around and decided to take him out to eat.

Guess what?

He actually followed! He really did follow obediently, walking quite a distance before entering his favorite restaurant and ordering a well-done steak…

Do you really just want to have a meal?

Platinum thinks that can't be true...

How can there be such outrageous people in the world?

Platinum doesn't understand.

She could only helplessly clutch the bow in her hands, looking as aggrieved as a child.

People around her were used to seeing her carrying a weapon in the street.

After all, this is the Great Knight Territory, and it's the time of year when the Knights' Tournament is being held, so there are plenty of people out on the streets with weapons.

Who doesn't dream of being a knight these days?

The people around them were used to it.

She clutched her bow to her chest, yet found no sense of security in the weapon.

The person before her was able to silently kill more than twenty elite members of the Unarmored Alliance without her noticing...

Even if she created some distance, Platinum wasn't confident she could escape from him with her bow and arrows.

Not to mention that the two are now separated only by a dining table.

She knew that if she showed even the slightest bit of malice, she would definitely not survive the night.
