[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Your heart sank suddenly!

Yes, although it's immoral to think that way, Camo's death was indeed too coincidental.

Unfortunately, just as you obtained the photograph of Reina's physique and were preparing to verify the information, he died.

You were blinded by your emotions at the time, and by the time you finished avenging Camo, you had no information left.

Even if it existed, you would have automatically filtered out Camo's information from a bunch of data.

Perhaps it shouldn't be called a coincidence, but rather a premeditated act.

If Camor is Reina, then he definitely wouldn't actually die.

But in such a short time, to find someone who looks exactly like you...

You recall the scars on Camor's corpse's face; they might not be exactly the same, but they are very similar.

Finding someone who looks similar to you in a short time is very difficult, even if they have an information system.

So, he had prepared this long in advance!

From the moment your plane landed, you walked right into his scheme.

You can't quite describe how you feel. If you say you're disappointed, it feels like you can accept the outcome.

But it's impossible to say you felt nothing at all, since you genuinely trusted and invested your emotions in him, and he once reminded you of the anti-drug police officers in your hometown.

You think he should be noble and trustworthy!

But reality slapped you hard in the face!

My throat feels like I'm swallowing dry, rough bread; I want to spit it out but can't, I want to swallow it but can't, it's a suffocating feeling that makes me want to grab my throat and cough violently!

Koenig lashed out several times in a fit of rage, mixing English and German.

Finally, a conclusion reached through gritted teeth:

"I knew he was all talk and no action, he couldn't be a good person!"

The ghost didn't react much, as if it had calmly accepted everything.

You feel all your strength has been drained, and you ask helplessly:

"If that's really the case... how should we find him?"

He can no longer use his identity as Camo, so that leaves only Reina's. How are you going to find him?

The ghost spoke calmly: "As long as there are facial features, finding someone is only a matter of time. But..."

He reached out and gently patted your head.

"Later on, we may have to fight against our former partners."

Koenig clenched his fist, his voice filled with resentment: "When we catch him, I'll smash his teeth to pieces!"

After letting out a sigh of relief, you look up at the ghost with a smile as he holds your head down.

"Let's do it! Who cares about our past relationship? Now that we're enemies, we'll just have to use bullets on him!"

The light in your smiling eyes softened his gaze, and his hand, which had been on your head, slowly moved down to cover your cheek.

The body suddenly tilted and moved!

You look at your right hand, and your wrist is being gripped by a large hand wearing a cinnabar bracelet. It was this hand that had just pulled you away from the ghost's touch.

"Take your hands off me, don't touch me!"

Koenig's clear, husky voice rang out, his eyes glaring aggressively at the ghost.

The ghost lowered its hand, looked up, and coldly glanced back.

"I didn't touch you, why are you barking like a dog?"

Koenig's voice suddenly rose: "Ha!? Damn skull, who are you trying to disgust!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward instantly, and the muscles in his raised arm were clearly visible!

The ghost lowered its eyes, its gaze filled with a mixture of disdain and amusement.

But in the end they didn't fight, because you were still here.

You raised your hand and pressed down on Koenig's arm, your voice calm:

"Kornig, this is the lieutenant's office. Do you want to be disciplined?"

Ghost is your superior, and this is his office. If you fight with your superior here, the puppy will be in real trouble.

Koenig scoffed, "I'm not afraid of being punished!"

The ghost pondered, "Kornig, you are very capable, yet your rank remains that of sergeant. This has a lot to do with your personality... you..."

"Lieutenant!"

You interrupted.

"You must be very busy now, so I'll take Koenig with me first."

You said to the ghost, then grabbed Koenig's arm and forcefully dragged him toward the door.

You don't want anyone to criticize Koenig's character. If he weren't so pure and straightforward, he might have perished in some moment of helplessness during his childhood.

You pulled Koenig along, but contrary to his usual behavior, he quietly followed behind you.

You sensed his unusual emotions, turned around, and looked up to meet his somewhat dark blue eyes.

"Koenig, what's wrong?"

ch.314: The Knight Cannot Refuse

Koenig didn't hesitate and directly expressed his inner struggle.

"Princess, do you think my military rank is too low?"

He admitted that his impulsive and aggressive personality was not a good choice for a leader, and that his social anxiety made him reluctant to discuss and communicate with others.

Because he understood this, he never paid attention to it.

But when Ghost said this today, it made him nervously wonder if Ghost would look down on him for not having a high enough rank.

I've heard that Chinese people are very hardworking and aspire to reach the highest possible position. Do they also have the same requirements for their partners?

You chuckled helplessly, and you knew he was definitely going to overthink things.

You punched him in the chest with your fist, then said to him seriously:

"will not."

"König, everyone has different pursuits. Military rank cannot represent whether a person is excellent or not. It is just a symbol of status and experience."

"You are very capable and intelligent, and your personality does not negate these strengths."

You reach up and grab his mask, laughing as you continue:

"I'm glad you have this kind of personality. It has helped you through countless difficult times and allowed you to stand firmly in front of me."

"It doesn't matter if your rank isn't high, I'll work hard to climb up, and I'll protect you from now on!"

His eyes widened instantly, filled with excitement and...dependence.

He stretches out his arms and pulls you close to his waist and back.

Your bodies are pressed together, and beneath his broad chest is a burning body temperature and a frantic heartbeat.

Despite his towering stature and bulging arm muscles, it seemed as if he could crush all the bones in your body with the slightest exertion.

But what you feel is his gentle, loose embrace, as if you were a ball of cotton that could only be gently supported by his hands.

"Strive to climb higher..."

His voice was hoarse: "Yes, a princess should be high and mighty..."

You chuckled: "So, you don't need to worry about your rank. Just be the princess's knight."

I will stay by your side, offering you loyalty and companionship.

After a few seconds of silence, Koenig hesitated.

"But... a knight cannot kiss a princess."

You were amused by his blunt remarks, so you lifted his mask and stuck your head inside!

Inside the dim and narrow mask, your breaths were only a few centimeters apart, mingling intimately.

"But a knight... cannot refuse a princess's kiss."

You murmured softly, then stood on tiptoe, raised your hand and wrapped it around his neck, pressing yourself forcefully against him!

Although no one was passing by in the building's corridors at that moment, it was still a public place.

His hands were stiffly pressed against your waist and back, neither holding you tightly nor willing to push you away.

You rarely take the initiative, but now you're clinging to me like a leech, nibbling and acting awkwardly and recklessly!

"Huh...huh..."

You stomp your heels back onto the ground, laughing and teasing with uneven breaths.

"Why is he like a piece of wood, not moving at all?"

In the past, he would be very enthusiastic at times like this, like a clingy little dog.

Koenig's clear, slightly husky voice was a pure and unadulterated response.

"You said it, I can't refuse."

You lift your head off the mask and glare at him: "You still want to refuse?!"

Koenig shook his head: "Of course not, it's just that people would recognize us if we were outside."

Your frown is exactly what he wants, isn't it?

They all want to make their relationship with you public, but you've remained reserved. Because they don't want to offend you, they've had to keep quiet, resorting to subtle hints or hoping you'll take the initiative.

But you haven't given in yet, because if you make one of them public, the others will definitely not let it go.

So the main reason Koenig was stunned was that your public display of intimacy made it seem like you were exposing him to the world.
