It was a new day, and Casimir was just waking up from his deep sleep when a piece of news swept through all the cities and villages like a tornado.
[Champion of the 22nd Knights' Tournament, the Brilliant Knight Margaret Linguang returns to Casimir!!!]
The youngest champion knight, the youngest knight with a single-word title, and the chief knight of the heroic family Linguang, Margaret, who won the championship three years ago, has gathered countless honors in one person and was the pride and idol of countless Casimir people at that time.
Even though his identity as an infected person was later revealed and he was expelled by the National Council, in Casimir, the title of Glory Knight is still a banner that countless people admire. Because of his identity as an infected person, he even unexpectedly became a guiding light for many infected people in their hard struggle.
The return of such a legend undoubtedly dropped a bombshell on the entire Casimir.
What's even more important is that below this report, there is a confirmation document from the Knights Association and the National Council, which means that Knight Yao did not return illegally after being expelled, but regained all his honors and returned to Casimir as the Linguang Long Knight.
This was actually a helpless move by the Chamber of Commerce. When yesterday's operation failed, while blaming the Wuzhou Alliance for their poor performance, the Chamber of Commerce also took the lead in revealing the news of Margaret's return.
The reason why the Chamber of Commerce did this was because the fact that Margaret was not infected had become a bomb that could directly kill the Chamber of Commerce under the manipulation of the troublemaker, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals.
The Grand Knight's public opinion is no longer dominated by the Chamber of Commerce. By spending money, Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals has undoubtedly accumulated reputation in the hearts of the people of Casimir, and reputation means credibility.
If the issue of Margaret's return is not dealt with promptly, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals will only need to expose Margaret's non-infected identity, causing public outcry. None of the National Assembly members and Federation directors who participated in the frame-up will end up in trouble.
Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce took the lead in using its own mouthpiece to expose Margaret's return, and then mobilized its power to quickly pass the National Council to pardon Margaret. The Knights' Association also quickly restored Margaret's status as a long knight, in order to confirm the fact that Margaret was pardoned and returned after being expelled.
However, Si Ye actually did not intend to make a fuss about the fact that Margaret was not infected. After all, if he made a fuss about this matter and manipulated public opinion, he could at most kill a few congressmen and scapegoats pushed out by the Federation. From the very beginning, Si Ye was aiming to hang all the bosses and directors of the Chamber of Commerce directly on the street lamps, so there was no need to do this unnecessarily.
Margaret got her identity back and Changqi returned, which was of great significance to the Linguang family. Many people would come to visit, so the Linguang sisters ran back to the Linguang family's old house early in the morning and planned to make some arrangements to celebrate.
Even Mainna didn't go to work for the first time, and silently cleared the weeds in the yard.
If we were to say who is the happiest about Margaret getting her identity back, it would naturally be Maria, who has regarded her sister as her idol since childhood. After all, when Margaret came back before, Maria still had to remind herself all the time to prevent herself from letting something slip and causing trouble for her sister. But now that Margaret has got her identity back, Maria can openly show off her handsome and dazzling sister.
"Maria, slow down and stop jumping around!"
Looking at Maria running around in the yard to vent her excitement, Sofia felt a headache and rubbed her forehead.
"Forget it, let her make a fuss. What I said before..."
"I never thought Miss Zofia would bring this up on her own initiative."
Si Ye was drinking coffee slowly on the side, looking at Sofia with a surprised expression.
On the way back to the Linguang Mansion, Zofia found Si Ye and volunteered to express her hope to become the signature of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals in the special championship, that is, to accept the sponsorship of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals and become the title knight.
"If you're planning this because you feel you're indebted to Margaret, Zofia, then there's no need. We've been bothering you for so many days, so we're even now."
"No, Margaret told me what happened last night. The despicable tactics of the Chamber of Commerce are beyond my imagination. I should be thanking you, Si Ye."
Zofia shook her head and looked at Maria who started to help Maenna pull weeds, her tone firm.
"And Margaret has tried so hard. How can I, as her elder, just stand by and watch? Furthermore, the Chamber of Commerce has already been my enemy since they were so shameless in their attempts to attack Maria and the others."
Zofia obviously saw it very clearly. In the eyes of the Chamber of Commerce, the Linguang family was already deeply bound to Siye, so there was no point in hesitating. The best solution was to contribute one's own strength and completely defeat the enemy.
"Well, since you said so, Zofia, then there's no problem on my side. I'll make a plan."
After finishing one thing, Zofia took Maria to help Margaret clean up the clutter in the living room. Only Si Ye who was drinking tea and idling and Mainna who was dealing with weeds were left in the yard.
Pushing the lawn mower back and forth, Mainna walked to Si Ye's side several times. Her hesitant expression made Si Ye want to laugh.
"Laoma, just say whatever you want to say. Don't you really like having ten days off a month?"
It would have been fine if Si Ye hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, Mainna completely lost control of herself. The corners of her mouth wanted to rise, but her muscles seemed to be tense, keeping her serious. Her whole expression was so conflicted.
"…Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals acquired our company. It was you…"
"Lao Ma, your company only has one day off a day! I won't even mention that sometimes they don't have any days off at all. Overtime is a regular thing, and there's no overtime pay. That little salary can barely support you. If your Linguang family hadn't been wealthy before and had some family property and antiques for you to sell to supplement the family income, I can't even imagine how skinny Margaret and Maria must have been when they were little."
If it was within the sphere of influence of the Commercial Federation, Si Ye would obviously not be able to acquire it, but Mainna himself hated joining the Commercial Federation, and the company he chose was a small company that was not qualified to enter the scope of the Commercial Federation.
Last night, the synths received orders from Si Ye and broke into the company owner's house with enough cash and gold.
5 times!
Faced with the financial offensive, Mainna changed Si Ye's surname to the company she was working for overnight. When Si Ye saw Mainna's work experience, he could only sigh once again at the magic of the Terra continent.
"You've worked for ten years, and the legal vacation time you've accumulated is just over three months, which works out to one day off a month. In the Star Empire, even robots would rebel... Ha, cough, cough... Sorry, I just can't help myself."
Ma Enna's face was full of black lines, but she had no reason to refute. She could only watch Si Ye take a deep breath and then said
"I've transferred your work to Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals. You'll have two days off a week, two days of free time off at your own discretion, and an eight-hour workday. Overtime pay is available, and your salary is three times your previous salary. So, you don't like it?"
"..."
Mainna was speechless. Although he had originally sought a job out of weakness to protect the young Margaret and her sister, after ten years of being a social animal, the treatment offered by Si Ye had made his social animal spirit burn fiercely, and he simply could not say no.
"And I don't necessarily want you to work for me. Margaret is my chosen agent in Casimir, but she's still too young and hasn't seen enough. It's just right that you come and help her."
Si Ye saw that Ma Enna was wavering, so he continued to speak.
"Margaret is young and tends to see things in a positive light, but you, Old Mar, have been a ranger before, so you naturally understand how to deal with those things that are more troublesome than good. I will be your strongest support. As long as you carry out my will, you don't have to compromise on anything."
“…That would cause a huge mess.”
Mainna naturally understood what Si Ye meant. When he was a ranger, he was not restricted in his work and had done many chivalrous and righteous deeds.
"That's a mess that's bound to happen sooner or later. Rather than letting it escalate to the point where it becomes uncontrollable and explodes, leaving everyone covered in blood, it's better to proactively detonate it. At least we can control the scope."
Seeing that Mainna was still hesitant, Si Ye touched his chin and decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Assisting Margaret is your second job. Of your double salary, one is sixteenth pay!"
In order to find out Si Ye's purpose, Mainna once went to the marginal area to explore. The infected people and civilians there admired Si Ye very much, which made him very confused at the time, but now he suddenly understood.
"…I see!"
Faced with the conditions offered by Si Ye, Mainna was in awe!
Chapter 58 The Changing Great Knight Leader
Deng!
The sharp dagger pierced into the solid wooden table, making a dull sound. The middle-aged man slumped in the boss chair was shaking like a quail.
"Anyway, the higher-ups are very dissatisfied with your attitude. This is a warning. Do you understand?"
The middle-aged man nodded frantically, fearing that any hesitation would cause the dagger to go from being stuck on the table to being stuck in his body.
"Repair the glass yourself."
With her delicate hands, she pulled the dagger out of the table, and with a stern face, she jumped out of the window she had broken and disappeared in an instant.
"Ah, I'm so tired, there are still thirty-five houses,"
After jumping onto the roof, Xinteleya could no longer keep a straight face and showed an expression of exhaustion and collapse. All this started from the failure of the operation against Margaret that night.
On that day, Qing Jin was the main attacker, and Xintlaiya, the little Platinum, was only responsible for some minor work. In this case, if the mission fails, no matter how unreasonable the No Helmet Alliance is, it cannot be said that it is Xintlaiya's fault.
But the bad thing was that, because of the successful negotiation, Xinteleya did not have any conflict with Shining who was taking Nightingale for a walk that day. She successfully became a salary thief, and it was so smooth that Xinteleya became a little too proud of herself.
When she ran to the meeting point with great joy, she saw Roy, whose face was filled with fear, Monica, whose face was as pale as if she had seen a ghost, and the representative of the Chamber of Commerce, who had fainted and was bubbling in his own vomit after no one knew what had happened.
When everyone was looking miserable and ugly, Xinteleya, who was unharmed and even looked a little happy, became the most awkward one.
Poor Xinteleya didn't have time to control her expression before she was met with Roy and Monique's very 'kind' smiles.
Gan!
Because the Chamber of Commerce was unable to curb the momentum of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals, many small companies and businesses affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce, which were not very loyal to the beginning, began to have ulterior motives. After failing in their mission, the No Hero Alliance was scolded and then received the task of intimidating these small companies.
Then Roy threw all these tedious tasks onto Xinteleya's head. There were nearly a hundred companies with ulterior motives, but Xinteleya was the only one who was responsible for the tasks. This was because the elite team of the Helmetless Alliance was beaten into the hospital by the Knights of Glory, leaving the Alliance with a shortage of manpower.
Xinteleya firmly believed that this was Roy and Monique's revenge. On the day of revenge, she was the only one who remained intact and did not make a fool of herself. But even if she knew it was revenge, what could the poor, weak and helpless Xinteleya do?
"Ah, the next one."
Xinteleya was depressed for a few minutes, but the heavy task drove her to stand up again and start moving towards the next mission target.
...
Crack!
With the idea of venting her anger, Xinteleya shot an arrow through the window of the office building where the target company was located, and then jumped in through the gap.
Normally, doing this would cause screams and panic, and then after the ordinary office staff ran away, Xinteleya could go to the boss of the company and convey the Chamber of Commerce's intentions.
But this time was a little different. The huge office was silent, with only a middle-aged Kuranta who was changing the water bucket for the water dispenser looking at her stupidly.
"I surrender. I have a daughter to support. Don't kill me. There is no money in the safe. My wallet is on the table in my office."
The middle-aged Kuranta raised his hands to show surrender, as if he regarded Xinteleya as a burglar, and spoke a series of words like jumping beans.
"...I'm not a robber, and I'm not interested in your wallet. I'm here on behalf of the higher-ups. Where's your boss?"
Xinteleya was silent for a moment, then took out a small badge from her waist bag. It was the agency mark distributed by the Chamber of Commerce, and all the small businesses affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce should recognize it.
"Oh~ The Business Federation,"
The middle-aged Kuranta relaxed immediately. While confirming whether the badge in Xinteleya's hand was genuine, he casually pulled a stool from his workstation.
"I'm the boss, but it's useless for the Chamber of Commerce to tell me anything. My company is closing down."
"what?"
Xinteleya looked around the entire office. The employees' workstations were extremely clean, and there were no personal belongings at all. It didn't look like the employees were away on leave, but more like they had jumped ship and left.
“Where are your employees?”
"I changed jobs. This place is close to the edge of the land. The Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals factory was hiring, so of course all the employees left. But I can't blame them. The salary was attractive to me."
Speaking of employees running away, middle-aged Kuranta looked calm.
"So, there are no employees now, and I'm too lazy to look for any more. So, let's just close the company. I'll go to the Chamber of Commerce in a couple of days to cancel the affiliation. I'm sorry you made this trip in vain."
"...Aren't the factories on the outskirts of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals mostly populated by infected people? Would they even go there to work with the infected?"
The middle-aged Kuranta shook his head and sighed, "Alas, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals' mineral sickness medication is very effective. As long as the infected take the medicine on time, they'll be fine. Plus, the salary is so high, so taking a little risk is acceptable."
"Then you're not going? Didn't you say you have a daughter to support?"
Cintrea was not too surprised. Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals had given her the impression of being omnipotent. Not to mention that their oripathy drugs could almost completely suppress oripathy, she wouldn't be too surprised even if they announced one day that they had completely cured oripathy.
"I'm already this old, so forget it. My old man will never let his granddaughter starve. I'd better go home and inherit the family business."
"..."
