Knight Asylum

But Red knew that this was meaningless, because the mirror beast was probably the cause of the disappearance.

"Really? Thank you—"

Metzl smiled and nodded to the staff, raised the car window, stepped on the accelerator to resume normal driving speed, passed the checkpoint, and only pulled up the seat after they were some distance away from the checkpoint.

"Metzl, don't be too far away from me when you're walking around in Takamizawa Group later."

Mazel was stunned for a moment and then smiled gently, "Yeah."

He cares about me and he has me in his heart!

After Metzl parked the car very steadily, she pushed the door open and walked out. Just as she raised her hand to tuck her hair, a frivolous whistle was heard at the entrance of Takamizawa Group. Metzl subconsciously turned her head and saw a yellow-haired man wearing a security uniform but with earrings pierced on his ears waving at her at the entrance of Takamizawa Group.

Metzl frowned immediately. Although she had known from Mitsuo Hongo that Takamizawa Group had recently lowered its requirements and was recruiting people like crazy, she was still somewhat surprised that they wanted even this kind of stuff. Of course, besides being surprised, Metzl was also a little angry.

If Red hadn't been beside her, she would have twisted off the yellow-haired guy who dared to express such disgusting desires towards her, but she still had to remain gentle, considerate and kind in front of Red, and she was reluctant to step on even an ant, so she could only endure it.

But what Metzler didn't expect was that when she planned to give the yellow-haired guy a chance to live, the yellow-haired guy really wanted to be reincarnated.

As Metzl just walked to the gate of Takamizawa Group, the yellow-haired man suddenly reached out and touched Metzl's butt.

Chapter 231: Once Heard, It Was a Good Knee

"Gala——"

"it hurts!!!"

The severe pain made Huangmao's legs go weak and he knelt down, but he couldn't go down halfway. It wasn't because Huangmao was a tough guy, but simply because Red was holding his wrist and he couldn't kneel down at all.

"What the hell are you doing, you bastard—it's going to break! It's really going to break!"

As soon as Red loosened his fingers, the yellow-haired man's knee made close contact with the ground. The crisp sound was a good knee. The yellow-haired man could no longer scream. He covered his knee, covered his knee, and fell over little by little with a dark face.

If the pain was so severe that I screamed before, now it was so severe that I couldn't even scream.

Metzl narrowed her eyes slightly. Even though the yellow-haired man had not touched her at all and this body was made up of O coins and could be replaced at any time, she was still very unhappy.

No, now is the time to be unhappy!

Metzler's eyes rolled, and she immediately threw herself into Reid's arms, her shoulders trembling slightly, without saying a word.

Red naturally thought that Metzl was frightened by the yellow-haired guy, frowned, raised his hand and patted Metzl's back, "It's okay..."

"You bastards..."

The yellow-haired man stood up shakily with a distorted expression and tried to pull Red's arm, but before he could do anything he was stopped by two security guards on his left and right.

"I'm sorry, he's new here. Please come in, the president is waiting for you!"

The more experienced security guard could tell at a glance that Metzler was of extraordinary status. Combining this with the notice from above, he immediately guessed Metzler's identity. He bent down to apologize and raised his hand to signal Red and Metzler to follow him to prevent the problem from escalating further.

Red glanced at the yellow-haired man with his mouth covered, nodded, patted Metzler on the back, and entered the Takamizawa Group under the guidance of the security guard.

After the door was closed, the other security guard let go of the yellow-haired guy. Not giving the yellow-haired guy a chance to lose his temper, the security guard went up and slapped him in the face. The yellow-haired guy saw stars and even his anger disappeared. He just stared blankly at the "good buddy" in front of him who was slacking off and smoking with him yesterday.

"Are you crazy!?" The good buddy pulled the yellow-haired man's collar and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he growled, "That woman is the president of the Hongshang Fund and a subordinate of Hongshang Mitsuo. She came to Takamizawa Group this time to determine whether Takamizawa Group is worth further investment. One word from her when she returns could end the life of Takamizawa Group. How dare you touch her butt!?"

Huang Mao was also shocked when he didn't expect Metzl to be from Hongshang Fund, but as if he remembered something, he toughened up again, "So what--"

"You, forget it - don't involve me when the punishment comes," the security guard shook his head in disappointment.

"Tsk—coward!"

The yellow-haired man sneered, tore off the security badge on his body, strode back to the lounge, looked around, locked the door after confirming that there was no one, and opened the drawer, inside which was a knight card box.

The yellow-haired man's eyes suddenly became hot, and he picked up the knight card box with both hands.

"That woman... I didn't expect she was from Hongshang Fund..."

The yellow-haired man licked his lips. If it were any other time, he would definitely calm down instantly and be unable to recover. But now the situation is different. He has obtained unique power, and Metzler's identity will only make him more excited and eager to try.

The yellow-haired man turned and faced the mirror holding the knight card box. He looked extremely confident in the mirror, as if he owned the whole world.

The yellow-haired man grinned and raised the knight card box in his hand towards the mirror.

At the same time, at the security guard's invitation, Red and Metzler came to the elevator leading to the top floor. Along the way, Red found something wrong.

In the previous timeline, Takamizawa Group had an indescribable feeling of coldness and defeat, but now it is bustling with people, and it is more noisy than lively, and the yellow-haired security guard at the door is no exception.

After entering the elevator, things became much quieter, and Metzler's emotions seemed to have stabilized a lot. Reid immediately pressed Metzler's shoulder and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Although she was overjoyed in her heart, Mazel still nodded in a weak manner, "I didn't expect something like this to happen. I remember that the Takamizawa Group had very high requirements for recruiting employees. Although I heard that they lowered the requirements, no matter how you look at it... it seems like they are desperate."

"Well - there is indeed a problem."

Red glanced vaguely at the glass around him that reflected his and Mazel's figures.

Soon the elevator arrived at the top floor. Red still remembered his identity, so he followed Metzl in a low-key manner. Metzl also changed his previous weak look. Without even knocking on the door, he pushed open the door of Takamizawa Itsuro's office and walked in.

Metzl was just about to show Red her capable side, but the moment Takamizawa Itshiro raised his head, Metzl was stunned.

In her impression, at least in appearance, Takami Sawa Itshiro has always been a gentle and elegant gentleman, but the current Takami Sawa Itshiro... is very miserable, with deep dark circles under his eyes, bloodshot in the whites of his eyes, and an indescribable sense of irritability emanating from his whole body.

Reid, who also noticed that something was wrong with Itsuki Takamizawa, stepped forward subconsciously and raised his hand to block Metzl.

However, it seemed that Reid and Metzl were worrying too much. Takami Sawa Ichiro just rubbed his eyes, and the irritability in his body disappeared. He returned to the gentleman they remembered, but he looked very tired.

"Are you the Miss Metzger that President Hong Shang mentioned? I'm sorry for what happened just now. I haven't slept well these days. I just took a short nap," Takamizawa Itsuki stood up and raised his hand to signal Reid and Metzger to take their seats, then sat opposite them with his fingers crossed.

"President Takamizawa, I won't say any polite words. You should know the reason why I came here this time," Metzl sat up straight. "According to the investigation of Hongshang Fund, there is a huge gap in the capital flow of Takamizawa Group. Do you have anything to explain about this matter?"

Takamizawa Itsuki's expression froze for a moment, then he lowered his head, "Regarding this matter... I don't deny that Takamizawa Group did have financial problems."

"President Gao Jianze, Hong Shang Fund is not a devil. As long as you can explain the reasons for the gap in the capital flow and provide a reasonable follow-up adjustment plan, Hong Shang Fund can continue to invest."

Metz paused and added silently in his heart.

Compared with Mitsuo Hongo, the devil is just like a little girl who has never entered society.

Chapter 232: I absolutely cannot be this mother!

Red didn't quite understand the company's operating model, but he had worked there during the summer vacation, so he did understand some things.

When the company has business, they will ask about your well-being and everything will be negotiable except for paying more money. They would like to tie people to the assembly line and work non-stop for 24 hours. When the company's business is not so good, instead of self-examination, the bosses prefer to reduce costs, kick employees, make sure they are well fed and well-dressed, and then recruit more people.

Now the Takamizawa Group has encountered a problem that every company will encounter. There is a huge gap in cash flow. Logically, the next move of the Takamizawa Group would definitely be to lay off employees to ensure its own survival first. However, not only did the Takamizawa Group not lay off employees, it even relaxed the conditions and frantically recruited anyone.

Even Hongshang Fund is considering whether to withdraw its investment, which shows that the problem is not ordinary serious. To recruit so many people, can Takamizawa Group really pay the salaries?

If he wanted to bully an honest person, he could still understand it.

But judging from the performance of the yellow-haired man at the door and the other new employees who are moving around in the Takamizawa Group, things will definitely get out of hand if their salaries are not paid.

Itsuki Takamizawa looks like a good person, but that doesn't mean he is an idiot.

It's a pity that although Itshiro Takamizawa sincerely requested Metzl to persuade Mitsuo Hongue not to withdraw his investment and give them some more time, Itshiro Takamizawa had no intention of explaining to Metzl the next operation method, and even refused further communication by saying that you can take a walk around the Takamizawa Group.

Red and Metzl had no choice but to leave Takamizawa Itsushi's office. Standing in front of the guardrail, Metzl and Red looked down at the bustling Takamizawa Group.

Because the Takamizawa Group Building is designed in a ring shape, you can see the first floor lobby even from the top floor.

Red stared straight at the floor of the lobby on the first floor. What he was looking at was naturally something deeper.

Although the time reversal did not reverse his spiritual growth, the degree of transformation that Aguru had done to his body did regress a lot, and his perception ability was also much weaker than before the time reversal. However, he still remembered the method of concentration that Xiaoxing taught him.

Blocking out the noise, he could vaguely hear the air flow coming from deep inside, and within that air flow there were other sounds, irritable, unpleasant footsteps, and faint quarrels.

Red subconsciously gripped the guardrail and leaned forward. As his attention became more focused, the noise returned, but Red was not affected. The real noise coming from underground became clearer.

[Why is there no way to enter the mirror world yet!? ]

[We need more parameters, the core is very unstable and may crash at any time! ]

[Parameters, parameters! The group no longer has the money to support us in preparing the parameters! ]

Takamizawa Group can’t even stabilize the mirror world core now?

The unexpected information made Red withdraw from his highly concentrated state in an instant. Red tried to enter that state again, but the subsequent fatigue and hunger made Red's head a little empty.

"Red, are you okay?"

Mazel's voice sounded from the side. Reid then remembered that Mazel was still there. He immediately looked over with an apologetic look on his face. "Sorry, did I keep you waiting for a long time?"

Metzl's eyes rolled, and she put her hands behind her back and leaned forward, pretending to be angry and lengthening her voice, "You made me wait for a while, how are you going to compensate me?"

Of course, Metzger didn't mind waiting for Red for a while. For her, it was very happy just to watch Red concentrate on doing something. But Metzger also thought that if she kept showing her gentle and considerate side, she would definitely be regarded as a mother.

So she decided to be willful when necessary to make Red realize that she was also a little girl.

"Sorry, just tell me if you need anything."

Don't talk too much, love me.

It is unacceptable to say such things in this situation. It's a pity.

Mazel sighed from the bottom of her heart, raised her hand to twiddle her hair, smiled and hugged Red, "Then you should walk a few more laps with me."

After being stunned for a moment, Red scratched the back of his head and smiled helplessly, "I understand. No matter where you want to go, I will accompany you."

Go! Go back to your room! Go to my bed!

"Okay! Target! The assembly line of Takamizawa Group!"

Metzl once again overcame his naked desire, pulled Red into the elevator to the first floor, passed through door number three, and arrived at the assembly line factory of Takamizawa Group. As soon as Red entered the door, he smelled a pungent smell of tobacco. Turning his head, he saw several workers who were not even wearing dust-proof clothing, holding half-burned cigarettes in their mouths and perfunctorily packaging the goods on the assembly line.

The Takamizawa Group acts as a gatekeeper within [S·L], and is involved in a wide range of industries, including real estate, scientific research and development, food development, etc., and they are currently working on the food packaging assembly line.

In just a few seconds, he saw a lot of cigarette ashes falling directly on the bread, but the workers in charge of packaging didn't even look at them and continued packing. Some workers even used the jam in the bread to put out the cigarettes.

Red felt his scalp tingling and without thinking, he stepped forward and stopped the workers.

"Hey! What are you doing!?"

The worker who was stopped not only did not feel guilty about being caught, but even tickled his ears in a rather arrogant manner.

"Who are you? Do you care?"

"..."

"I'm from the Food Hygiene Bureau."

"Fuck——"

Probably knowing what they had done, the most arrogant few turned around and ran away, and the other workers on the assembly line also dispersed.

Red's mouth twitched, he stepped forward to stop the assembly line, walked in and picked up a few loaves of bread. It couldn't be said to be extremely disgusting, but it was definitely terrible. When he arrived, he saw the workers using bread to put out cigarettes. God knows what they had done before that.

The assembly line was forcibly stopped, and the competent department naturally ran over cursing, but when they saw Metzler standing aside with his chin up, they were instantly paralyzed, and immediately rubbed their hands and smiled apologetically. Metzler, who felt from the bottom of his heart that other people didn't care, naturally wouldn't give these people a good face, and the supervisors also bowed repeatedly to apologize and said that they would definitely make corrections.

But Metzger could see that they were just trying to please her. They might start greeting their ancestors as soon as they left.

After leaving the assembly line, Reid's brows were still tightly furrowed.

Takamizawa Group is a gatekeeper-level company after all, how could such a problem occur? The Internet is so developed nowadays, if any video of this situation is released, it can cause Takamizawa Group to lose its reputation and its stock price to plummet.

Does the Takamizawa Group not intend to survive this month?

Just as Red was lost in thought, a shrill noise was heard. Red was alerted and grabbed Metzger's waist and jumped back, but a hand reached out from the glass wall and grabbed the empty hand.

In the president's office of Takamizawa Group on the top floor, Takamizawa Itshiro crossed his fingers and stared deeply at the screen in front of him. One of the screens was replaying the scene in the employee lounge a few minutes ago. The yellow-haired man held up the Knight Card Box in front of the mirror and transformed into the Mirror Knight.

On the screen right in front of him, the yellow-haired man who had transformed into the Mirror Knight was walking out of the mirror carelessly and gesturing towards Red and Mazel.

Chapter 233: The little hands are not very clean

Red had prepared for the attack early on, but what he didn't expect was that the first to attack was not the Mirror Beast, but the Mirror Knight. And from the sound of the voice, it was the yellow-haired security guard.

Now that the Takamizawa Group can't even enter the mirror world, the only one who can give the card box to the yellow-haired knight is Kanzaki Shirou.

It is understandable that Red was given the card box to Tezuka Umi no Kishi. After all, Tezuka Umi no Kishi is a psychic, and he might have an explosive mode of 100% pressure or 100% courage.

What special abilities can a yellow-haired person have?

And judging from the posture of this yellow-haired guy, his target seems to be Metzler.

Reid raised his hand to protect Metzl behind him, and looked the yellow-haired man up and down carefully. His appearance was unrecognizable, but he had color. Judging from the fact that he subconsciously touched the knight's card box, he had probably completed the contract with the mirror beast.

"Wow, wow, wow - he's actually a hero saving the beauty," the yellow-haired knight in the mirror suddenly opened his hands to both sides, said a few sarcastic words, and then no longer concealed his emotions, and yelled at Reid angrily.

"You're really handsome. My hands and knees are still hurting right now, asshole!"

"Really? If you don't take off what's on you, it will hurt more later," Red opened his fingers slightly and then slowly tightened them. It was his first time to officially fight with the Mirror Knight who could use cards.

Not to mention Kanzaki Shirou, Kagawa Hideyuki's accelerated arrival is a rather troublesome ability.

What kind of card does this yellow-haired guy hold?

"Pain? I feel fine now, but you, you two won't be fine later!"
