Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

The sweat on his forehead was increasing as he stumbled.

Shengzhen has become somewhat withdrawn.

Could it be that he really misjudged the situation?

Xingguo sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Were these guys really older than ten years old combined?

Fortunately, Xingguo intervened and stopped the three from dwelling on the issue. Shengzhen then honestly answered Youche's question.

"I just felt that the guy was a liar, so I didn't want to listen to his lies any longer. Besides, I wasn't in good shape, so I just finished him off."

Yu Che's lips twitched slightly: "So the tripping is the key point?"

Sheng Zhenren was completely dumbfounded. Wait, Yu Che-san, why do you always pick on such strange things?

but……

It seems that's really the case...

Saki was too withdrawn to speak, so Kiba changed the subject: "Speaking of which, is it alright for you to come here? Don't you still have a hostage there?"

You Che nodded: "There is indeed a hostage, which is the main reason I came to see you today."

Banto and Ikuma exchanged a glance, their expressions immediately turning serious.

"I just found this in my mailbox. I checked my mailbox yesterday and there was nothing there, but this thing appeared today."

You Che took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Sheng Zhen.

The text above is the script of the Sugar Man world, and it looks like scribbles.

Bandou leaned closer, glanced at the contents, and immediately frowned.

"This is... a threatening letter?" Bandou looked at Shengzhen.

Shengzhen shook his head: "No, it was sent by Sister Grota. She asked us to choose a place for the transaction and propose the terms."

Bandou and Yuche nodded.

"So, what do you think?" You Che crossed his arms, waiting for Sheng Zhen's answer.

Sure enough, Shengzhen's idea remained unchanged: "I want to exchange one hundred of the captured humans. What do you think, Yuche-san?"

You Che nodded: "That pitifully weak guy can be exchanged for a hundred people."

But when you talk to your older sister, remember not to say 100 people at the beginning; say you want 1,000 people instead.

Shengzhen blinked: "Why is that?"

Xingguo tugged at Shengzhen's sleeve and then explained what "landing price increase" meant, leaving Shengzhen stunned.

Then, Shengzhen understood.

So Grota sent someone to discuss where to hold the transaction and, when it came time to finalize the terms, Shengzhen waved his hand and said, "It has to be a thousand! Not a single one less!"

In addition, to prevent you from getting something for nothing, you have to hand over half of the people first!

Only then will I believe in your sincerity and entrust Sister Xita to you.

Shengzhen's words left the retinue sent by Grota completely stunned.

But upon closer examination...

It seems like their considerations are reasonable. After all, who knows if you're truly sincere about the transaction? What if they don't intend to give it to you at all?

Just ...

How could such words come from the most insignificant young master of the Stormmark family?

As the family members left, they gave Shengzhen a deep look.

When he returned to report, Brother Rango looked at him with disbelief: "What? You mean that Shengzhen?" (The first hint of something was amiss)

The family member nodded and explained the matter in detail.

Rango nodded, sitting in the main seat: "I understand. Go and give half to Grotta."

The subordinate was slightly taken aback: "Lord Lango, are you really going to give it to me?"

Rango's face darkened. Was there something wrong with his subordinate's brain?

If you go empty-handed, do you believe that they might not even show up at all?

If no one else shows up, you can't implement any of your ideas.

Seeing that Lango's expression was off, his family quickly asked another question: "What about the other half?"

Rango instantly flew into a rage: "Get out!"

The other half?!

Do you really think Rango will give it to you?

They're all such troublesome guys, Rango thought, "This is so hard for me."

Grotta is better; her younger sister is much less of a worry.

Ok……

It should save you a lot of trouble...

Chapter 397 Deception...

Grotta, the current head of the Stormmark Company.

Of the five members of the Strommark family, Rango is the eldest brother and the head of the company. Nierub is the second brother, but he's always carrying around a broken tablet and nobody knows what he's doing. As for Sita and Jeep, they're even more clueless. Jeep is currently dreaming about how to bring Sita back, and then there's the first one, Shengzhen...

Just thinking about Lango makes me angry. Do you think any of his younger siblings are easy to deal with?

Especially Ikari, if you have such great power, why didn't you show it sooner?

Is it fun to be bullied by Theta and Jeep?

If you had just shown your strength sooner, would I, as your older brother, not have protected you?

Of course, if Shengzhen had revealed his power earlier, he would probably be sent by Rango to capture humans by now.

Rango was still better than his other siblings at being inhuman.

……

On the other hand, regarding the Stormmark family, Shengzhen was very excited after learning that Brother Lango's retinue had arrived. He thought that a hundred people would be more than enough, since he himself didn't think that Sister Xita could be exchanged for a hundred people.

Unexpectedly, Brother Lango agreed to the condition of a thousand people, and even asked Sister Grota to take half of them to trade first, while the other half would be given to Sita after she returned.

However, compared to Saki's excitement, Kouko, Kizuna, and Yutetsu were not very happy.

After all, they understood that if the other party wasn't even willing to haggle in this deal, it only meant one thing...

Rango never intended to actually make a deal.

Shengzhen, however, has a different opinion:

"No, Brother Lango wouldn't lie to me. He's never lied to me before."

Although... Rango never really gave Shengzhen a second glance.

The other three didn't care much about Shengzhen's explanation.

Shengzhen is still too inexperienced.

As a journalist, Ban Dou understands a principle very well: humans, as a species, often share common characteristics.

In any case, none of the three of them believed that Rango genuinely wanted to make a deal.

And what about Shengzhen, who was willing to trust Rango...?

It's okay. When we meet, he'll know what reality is.

Soon, the sun rose and set. The next day, Shengzhen and his group brought Xita, who was bound tightly, to a location—the back mountain that Shengzhen had specified.

Although Saki was naive, he was indeed afraid that his sister Grotta would break her promise, so he set up the transaction at Toei's ancestral back mountain.

At least there's no one here, so even if a fight breaks out, it won't cause any major losses.

Saki and Banto escorted Sita to the back mountain.

Grotta was already waiting here.

When Shengzhen saw Grotta, her eyes lit up immediately, and she waved happily, "Sister Grotta!"

Grotta rolled her eyes in exasperation. Seriously, was there something wrong with her youngest brother's brain?

Given the tense atmosphere between us right now, why are you so happy to call me "sister"?

However, what Grotta didn't notice was that the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

Of the five siblings in Stomak, Grotta actually had feelings for her younger brothers and sisters.

She could clearly distinguish between what was important and what could be abandoned.

For the sake of the family's future, Grotta could disregard her younger siblings, even if something unexpected were to happen...

Then let something unexpected happen.

Moreover, this operation is for serious business, so Grotta can't possibly have a happy reminiscing with Seima.

She even frowned when she saw that only Bisato was with Ikoma and asked directly, "Where is that unknown black knight?"

Shengzhen was taken aback, then looked at Grotta with a puzzled expression: "Sister Grotta, he has nothing to do with our deal this time, right?"

Grotta rolled her eyes: "It's okay? Why was Sita caught?"

Shengzhen fell silent.

Shengzhen just thought about the plan he had discussed with Youche and the others...

He made up his mind.

“He’s not here,” Shengzhen said, looking at Grotta. “At least not right now.”

Grotta sneered, and with a forceful flick of her toy scythe, evil energy extended from the scythe, amplified, and when it sculpted again, it was already a scythe as tall as a person.

Imai and Kizuna immediately assumed a defensive stance.

Grotta hoisted the massive scythe onto his shoulder and gestured with his chin toward Saki: "Then let's cut the crap and release Sita."
