"This mission involved several elite teams, including you, the Platinum Leader, and our two Green Gold Leaders. Clearly, the Federation's directors are very serious about this mission. Little Platinum Leader, you mustn't slack off."
Looking at Roy and Monique beside her, Xinteleya showed a burnt-out expression and looked sick.
"Why not just stay home and have some family fun? This Brilliant Knight is really causing trouble for others."
After learning that the target of this mission was the Knight of Glory, Xinteleya felt overwhelmed. She was not a fan of the Knight of Glory, nor was she afraid of the reputation of the Linguang family. She had simply heard that the Knight of Glory was now working for Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals.
To be honest, when Platinum heard the words "Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals", he felt his tail tingling. Si Ye was too weird. If possible, Xintelaiya just wanted to stay away from him.
"The main purpose of this mission is not assassination. If Knight Yao can accept the compromise, we will save ourselves a lot of trouble."
Monique carefully took out several arrows sealed in containers and distributed them to Xinteleya and Roy.
"But if the Radiant Knight refuses to compromise, then we will need to take action and make her identity as an infected person a reality."
"So, the Brilliant Knight isn't actually infected?"
A big question mark popped up over Xinteleya's head. After all, three years ago, when the Knights won the championship, they were expelled because their identity as infected people was revealed, which caused a huge uproar.
Roy turned and gave Xinteleya a kind smile.
"This is also a secret within the Chamber of Commerce. Little Platinum, you must keep it a secret. But it doesn't matter. Who knows, after tonight, maybe the Brilliant Knight will be the real infected person."
Xinteleya shrank her neck, feeling that she was involved in something very dangerous again.
"Don't scare her. According to intelligence, Radiant Knight and the boss of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals are staying at Whip Blade Zofia's house. We need to intercept Radiant Knight before she returns home."
Monique waved the communicator in her hand.
"It's time to act, according to the plan, in groups."
……
It was extremely rare for Casimir to want to restore his status from being expelled. After Margaret appeared, the Knights Association even held several meetings specifically for her.
For this purpose, Si Ye specially issued a physical examination report to Margaret in the name of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals. The report clearly showed that she was not infected.
However, the Knights Association did not want to touch the glaring landmine of whether the Knight Yao was an infected person. They chose to settle for the second best option and turn a blind eye to the matter, directly restoring Margaret's normal identity, but never mentioned the question of whether she was infected.
But restoring identity is not a simple matter. Margaret needs to fill out a large number of forms and documents and then stamp them. It was her first time dealing with these things, and she was in a mess.
Holding various forms in her hands, Margaret pressed her swollen temples. She didn't understand many things in these forms and needed to go back to ask Zofia or Mainna.
Zofia's manor was obviously closer to the bustling commercial district, but the streets were extremely quiet at this moment, with only the street lights emitting a slight hum of electricity.
Margaret's hands immediately went to her waist. The war hammer she was good at using was not convenient to carry, so Margaret hung a standard knight's sword around her waist.
An attack by the Chamber of Commerce?
"Greetings, Knight Yao."
A man wearing a mask and a suit walked out from behind the street light. Many masked men holding bows and arrows also appeared in the surrounding green belts and buildings.
"Commercial Federation?"
Margaret's eyes swept across the masked man in a suit and tie, and then looked at the people around her holding bows and arrows. On the top of one of the buildings, there was an unmasked man standing there. The unconcealed aura on his body made her feel a little uneasy.
"The Heroless Alliance?"
"...Miss Lin Guang, you know we won't answer."
The masked man in a suit tugged at his tie, his tone flat.
"For Cyril Linguang's sake, withdraw your application to restore your status and stay away from Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals. We will allow you to live freely in Casimir, and the Knights' Association will allow the Linguang family to keep the position of Chief Knight vacant for another three years, until your sister comes of age."
"You're truly all-powerful! You even make exceptions to the rule that every knight's family must have someone serving as a long-rider. So why bother coming to me? The Linguang family is nothing to you, isn't it?"
Even though Si Ye had already given Margaret a heads-up, the words of the masked man who was a member of the Chamber of Commerce still opened her eyes. Knights had indeed declined, and the identity of the long knights that each family used to maintain their status had become a bargaining chip that could be put on the table.
"Miss Linguang! Acting impulsively will not solve any problems, and colluding with outsiders to interfere with Casimir is definitely not what you should do."
The masked man emphasized every word he said. Even though his face couldn't be seen, one could still feel the gnashing of teeth from this man.
"Your stubbornness will only lead to the worst possible outcome. Your sister, Miss Maria, is only 15 years old, isn't it a pity?"
"..."
Margaret said nothing. Her drooping bangs cast a shadow, making it difficult to see her expression. The hand on her sword seemed to relax.
"That's right, we didn't want this to happen, but it's too late now."
The man in the suit took out a sealed box from his pocket and handed it to Margaret.
"All we want now is peace of mind. Inside is a fragment of Originium. Miss Lin Guang, use it to cut a wound on your arm. From now on, we will stay away from the Lin Guang family in any way."
As long as Margaret's identity as an infected person is confirmed, even if the Supervisory Council takes action, the Knight of Glory will no longer be qualified to return to Casimir openly, and the influence of the Linguang family will not be a help to Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals. The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce will be achieved.
Looking at the small box in the masked man's hand, and then looking at the members of the No Helmet Alliance who had drawn their bows and arrows in the distance, Margaret gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.
"roll!"
The knight's sword gradually unsheathed, and light overflowed from the silver-white blade.
Chapter 55 The Light of Reality
This is a green park that fills the gaps between the manors. An artificial rockery is surrounded by dense trees.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that persuasion failed, what a pity."
Roy stood on the rockery, pressed the headphones, switched to the public channel, and gave orders.
"According to the plan, get started."
After saying that, he took out the Originium arrow from the quiver behind him. With his keen vision, he had locked onto the location of Zofia's manor in the distance through the layers of greenery.
But he was unable to draw the bow and arrow. With a rustling sound, the man whose photo had been circulated throughout the Wuzhou League and the Chamber of Commerce suddenly walked out of the woods.
"I have long heard of your great name, Lord Si Ye."
This was the first time Roy faced the man who had stirred up a storm in the Great Knight's Territory. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Roy always felt that he was glowing.
"Is this your special Originium technique?"
When Si Ye approached, Roy realized that the Si Ye in front of him was not only glowing, but even somewhat translucent, which made him clench the arrow in his hand again.
"It's just a projection of consciousness, a little trick."
Si Ye seemed to be looking around casually, but Roy knew that the direction Si Ye was looking at was the location of the Wuzhe League assassins he brought with him.
"Projection..."
Roy narrowed his eyes, as if considering the credibility of Si Ye's words and the possibility of continuing the mission.
"Yes, projection. So you want to shoot an arrow and see if you can get past me and hurt Zofia or Maria."
Si Ye just stood there, the blue light emanating from his body even attracted fireflies.
Roy's task was to decide whether to use the Originium Arrow as a deterrent or to attack Zofia simultaneously, causing her to be infected and withdraw from the competition, based on whether Monica had successfully damaged her with the Originium Arrow after the Knight of Glory refused to cooperate.
But now looking at Si Ye's eager expression, Roy felt that he was not sure about making a move.
"Please spare me. There's no need for a big shot like you to make things difficult for an insignificant person like me."
Roy gave up. He just wanted to find a way to leave smoothly while saving face.
"Alas, what a clever man, what a shame."
Si Ye imitated Roy's previous tone and spoke with regret.
"You're right, aren't you, Myna?"
Roy turned his head and saw Mainna with an expressionless face at the end of the park trail. The invisible pressure continued to increase as he approached.
"..."
Feeling the aura of the office worker-dressed Mainna, Roy's fake smile froze.
Just Si Ye alone made him sweat profusely. How could the uncle of the Lin Guang family who had been a company employee for ten years have such strength?
The aura displayed by Mainna now gave Roy the feeling that he would be cut in half in the next moment. He no longer needed to think about how to save his face. He just wanted to find a reason to run away.
"..."
"..."
Mainna came closer, and Si Ye seemed unable to feel Mainna's increasingly powerful aura. He looked at him without any burden. Roy, with an embarrassed expression, was left aside.
However, Si Ye was kind enough to help Roy out: "Alright, Qing Jin of the Wu Zhou Alliance, you can go now. But I don't like your playful expression. Next time we meet, I will punch you hard."
Si Ye spoke, and Mainna also dispersed the suffocating aura around him. Roy pulled up an ugly bitter smile, turned around and left quickly, disappearing into the woods.
“…” Mainna looked at Si Ye.
"Don't worry, I'm just a projection. My real body is following Margaret. Nothing will happen to me."
In response to Si Ye's words, Mainna remained silent. It was not until Roy completely disappeared that he suddenly spoke: "You brought Margaret and the others into danger."
"How can it not be dangerous? Finding a job as an employee in a company like you? If your previous escape was because Margaret and the others were young and needed you to show weakness and harmlessness, then what is your escape now? Is it your disappointment in Casimir?"
Si Ye pointed to the bustling city night scene in the distance.
"When times change and old ideas collide, sooner or later someone will be thrust into the spotlight. Unless Margaret no longer serves as a knight, the danger you speak of is only a matter of time."
"...That's not a reason for you to use her..."
Mainna could naturally see why Margaret suddenly went to the Knights' Association to ask for his identity back. As she spoke, her gauntleted right hand had already rested on the sword at her waist.
"Exploit? I don't like that word. I never take advantage of anyone. Everyone around me is willing to work hard after seeing a better future. There's never any question of one taking advantage of the other."
Black ice crystals appeared in Si Ye's hands, and a broad-bladed sword was pulled out from the void by him.
"But I feel like you Casimir people prefer duels, and then use the clash of wills to convince each other in battle. I will follow the local customs, please."
Faced with Si Ye's actions, Mainna remained silent at first, then slowly drew the sword at his waist, and golden light flowed on the blade like water.
It was not until the water-like light on the sword blade easily cut through the rocks and soil, and rolled up the ground, that people could feel the rage hidden in the Manna Originium technique firsthand.
Light filtered through the layers of trees, flickering between the branches. Mainna's chopping was swift and powerful. It was obvious that ten years of experience as a company employee had not diminished his strength in the slightest.
Because he was in command of battles most of the time, and even when using psychic powers he was extremely powerful, Si Ye's melee skills were not very good, and could even be considered somewhat clumsy.
Si Ye's movement of wielding the weapon was full of flaws in Mainna's eyes, but even with such a flawed attack, it seemed as if a light that could burn everything was brewing on the broad-bladed sword.
This is the light of Lin Guang’s family.
