Arknights' Lock of Heaven

They were already disliked, and then to come and assassinate them...

Phew... What if they get annoyed and decide to drag the entire Kazimierz region down with them?

After learning that the task had been left undone because Platinum had long suspected the person was dangerous, our Miss Platinum received praise for the first time.

Seriously, this is the first time since I joined the Unarmed Alliance.

Ms. Platinum was very touched and then decided to run away as soon as she had the chance.

The Unarmored Alliance? Not even a dog would stand there!

The other directors also remained cautious, avoiding any provocations.

As for the other force in the National Assembly, the Supervisory Committee, they were overjoyed when they saw that Xia Yu's company was called Rhodes Island.

They were even happier when they found out that Xia Yu had entered the Lin Guang family through the introduction of the Radiant Knight.

The Securities and Futures Commission has only one stance on everything Xia Yu said in the arena.

Ah yes, yes, you're absolutely right!

The Business Federation is the root of all evil! And those nobles who flirt with them are no better!

To be honest, not all noble knights are on the side of the Supervisory Council.

A considerable number of people sided with the Business Federation, some even becoming directors, while others completely swayed with the prevailing winds.

Traitors are more hateful than enemies.

Although they found Xia Yu's words harsh, they still mostly criticized the Business Federation.

In addition, given their relationship with Margaret, their emotions shouldn't be so agitated.

Ultimately, after several secret meetings, it was decided to handle the matter quietly.

At least until the knightly tournament ends and he leaves the Grand Knights' Territory, no one should provoke him.

Kazimir cannot afford this price.

But to be honest, I still have to save face.

No matter how powerful you are, you will eventually have to leave the Great Knight Territory, right?

Even knightly competitions will eventually come to an end.

Then, hehe!

However, that's all for later. Right now, the most urgent task is to find something bigger to overshadow this issue.

Public opinion cannot be allowed to fester any longer.

Just as the directors of the business federation were worrying, the Securities and Futures Commission representative smiled and said, "I have a solution, just you wait and see!"

This will definitely make everyone take their eyes off this matter!

Looking at the confident smiles on their faces, how could the directors of the business association not understand what kind of solution they were talking about?

Margaret Nearl, the former Radiant Knight, is returning.

If this is handled properly, the hot topic can indeed be covered up.

However, this is a big win for the Securities and Futures Commission, while for the Business Council, it's a choice between two very bad options to choose the one with less damage.

At least with Margaret, they still have a chance to suppress it.

For them, Xia Yu was a ticking time bomb.

No one dared to provoke him.

So in the end, no matter how unwilling they were, they still had no choice but to choose Margaret.

After the meeting, I felt humiliated like I had never experienced before. When had these important people ever been treated like this?

They all started contacting each other through their own secret channels, planning how to give Xia Yu a big surprise after he left.

Coincidentally, some of these people were extremely fond of pets, and their conspiracy was thus openly exposed to someone.

-

Thirty kilometers away from the Great Knight's Territory.

Rhode Island main ship.

"Has he... gone mad?"

The professor slammed his fist on the table, shouting in a frenzy, "Challenging an entire nation..."

"Okay, he does have that ability..."

I had initially intended to criticize Xia Yu's behavior, but recalling everything Xia Yu had shown me, my own speculations about her flying abilities, and Xia Yu's extraordinary firepower coverage...

The doctor had to admit that he did indeed have the right to point fingers and criticize a country.

Let alone Kazimierz, as long as Xia Yu equips those hundreds of electromagnetic cannons, he could fly to the Saint Jun Castle palace and point his finger at the Ursus Emperor and curse him without any problem.

Do you think the emperor would dare to utter a single word in rebuttal?

Yes, the doctor can be certain that the so-called hundreds of electromagnetic cannons are just a hoax. After witnessing Xia Yu's amazing illusions firsthand, he is convinced that, apart from the one that fired, the rest are all illusions.

As for why... of course it's because he only took one cannon with him when he left!

The question isn't whether or not we have the ability!

Ascalon frowned as he looked at the Doctor slumped on the table, and said in a cold voice, "The problem is this high-profile attitude towards Rhodes Island!"

Because Xia Yu poached the Lion Scorpion from here, and given that Ascaron's personality is inherently incompatible with such people, she has never liked such high-profile actions.

That's why she voiced her opposition.

Of course, this is not to make a big deal out of nothing, it's just a matter of habit.

Kal'tsit did not share her intelligence with Rhodes Island's management.

In Askaron's eyes, Xia Yu was capable of fighting, very capable, but still within the realm of comprehension.

That's why she voiced her opposition.

If she knew that Xia Yu had the ability to destroy a mobile city at any time, she would instantly become Xia Yu's staunch supporter.

As long as Xia Yu makes a name for herself in a city, it doesn't matter whether she's high-profile or not!

High-profile! The higher the better! Ideally, they'd go to Lentinium today and return to Kazdel tomorrow to declare the founding of a nation!

I don't know much about Ascalon, but I do know that Xia Yu values ​​Amiya highly.

Kal'tsit kept it a secret because these old fogies would definitely do it!

But she knew that the Terran civilization faced far more than just natural disasters or Oripathy; there were also many more malicious eyes lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce on the civilized world.

So now is not the time.

If this power were to truly descend into civil war, it would only drain the last drop of blood from the Terran civilization.

Of course, only she herself knew these things, and she also knew that no matter what she said, she couldn't persuade these people.

That's why she kept it a secret.

However, judging from Xia Yu's tone... it seems he doesn't think the same way he does...

"You do not understand……"

The doctor looked helplessly at Ascalon and said in a mournful voice, "As far as I know him, he's never been the kind of person to make such a big fuss just to vent his anger..."

"His actions can only mean that he's secretly planning something even bigger!"

"This..." Ascalon was speechless for a moment upon hearing this.

Ultimately, she knew that she didn't understand Xia Yu at all.

So she looked at Kal'tsit.

If we're talking about understanding, she's the one on the field who understands Xia Yu the most.

Kal'tsit nodded silently in response to her questioning gaze.

225 Gods?

"Damn! This guy..."

Upon seeing Kal'tsit's affirmative answer, Ascalon was completely devastated.

If defecating on the entire Kazimierz region isn't considered outrageous or excessive, then what is?

Ascalon couldn't imagine it.

"So why let him out alone?"

Ascalon couldn't understand it.

“I admit that such a capability… is indeed very strong, enough to determine the outcome of a war.”

"Then why not leave him on Rhodes Island? Why let him roam freely? This force is very strong, and its artillery firepower is astonishing. Shouldn't it be protected even more?"

"It's so dangerous outside! Artillery fire isn't a panacea either; once they get close, there's nothing we can do!"

"At that point, he'll only be able to fight bare-handed. I admit he's not weak in that respect, but if the other side is willing to pay the price, surely they can't do anything to him?"
