Knight Asylum

"Okay, stop being willful and eat all this stuff," Qiao directly brought a plate of steaming sticky liquid and placed it in front of Red, "Not only your mind, but also your body, all need to be adjusted to the best condition."

"I think... never mind—"

Red lowered his head, took a deep breath for a while, then tilted his head back and drank the entire plate of sticky liquid.

Damn it - it really tastes terrible!

Red put down the plate with difficulty, wiped his mouth, and with great difficulty pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile that was uglier than crying. Before he could say anything, Qiao had already taken the empty plate from his hand and handed it to Sero, "Another one."

"cough--"

After finishing all the supplements with difficulty and looking at the clean plate with satisfaction, Seleu let Red go. But before leaving, Qiao stuffed a full backpack with high-energy nutritional supplements, muttering as he stuffed them that he could have drunk a few more bottles.

Red immediately understood Agumon, who was fed all kinds of food because he was the first to get the badge in the Digimon series.

When they arrived at the underground garage, Ming Hai was already waiting for them. However, when he saw Red's visibly bigger belly, Ming Hai hesitated for a moment and lowered the brim of his hat.

He didn't think Red was the kind of person who would eat and drink as much as he could as this was his last meal, and he smelled a very unpleasant odor of nutritional supplements, so he decided to ignore Red's current condition.

"Let's go to Casino Royale first."

Ming Hai climbed into the car and put on his helmet.

Red rubbed his stomach, adjusted his state a little, and nodded with difficulty. Qiao, who was carrying a backpack, pushed out his motorcycle and was about to let Red get on it when the mobile Pegasus came out from the darkness silently like a ghost, blocking Red and Qiao, and the rearview mirror on the side of the helmet turned towards Red.

Qiao's eyes twitched violently.

provocative! This is definitely a provocation!

"Burp - let's go, Qiao," Red took the helmet and got in the car, completely unaware of the change in Qiao's expression.

"Oh--"

"Huh? Qiao, are you feeling unwell?" Reid was stunned and looked at Qiao.

"nothing--"

Qiao stretched out the sound and started the engine of the motorcycle, and Mobile Pegasus also made a louder starting sound as if in provocation.

Takumi turned his head with extremely stiff movements to look at Mobile Pegasus. In order to glare at it more conveniently, Takumi even deliberately lifted up his mask to reveal his cold eyes, while Mobile Pegasus leisurely moved forward with Reid.

"Uh--let's go!"

Feeling that the situation was getting very bad, Red gave Qiao a thumbs up.

Inside the Selvi Turia command tower, the communicators who had not slept all night were still working at a very high intensity.

"Report! The first project has been completed!"

"Report! The third project is expected to be completed in five hours!"

"Report! The Seventh Project has been protested by the Fang Ghost Tribe! The negotiation team has begun negotiations!"

……

Enbei threw who knows how many bottles of tonic into the trash can, put his hands on his hips and let out a long breath.

This night was not peaceful. [S·L] was a city where humans and monsters coexisted. According to their plan, even if Gamego won, he would only get one chip of the highest value that could never be collected again. Then Gamego would definitely launch an attack on the spot. They could only guide the direction of the attack to the side with a sparser population than in other directions, and then evacuate and build a defense zone.

The Royal Casino is located in the most prosperous area of ​​[S·L], so in one night, not only humans but also all kinds of weirdos almost blew up their phones. Of course, the insurance company also completely blew up their phones. After all, setting up a defense zone means that a large area of ​​houses will be destroyed due to force majeure.

But fortunately they have survived all of this, all preparations have been completed, and victory is at hand.

Once they successfully stop Gamego's semi-ultimate game, the progress of U's Knight Project will far exceed that of other sponsors, Servier Turria will regain part of its sovereignty, Red Kamen Rider's identity will be completely finalized, and those sponsors will not be able to ask every day to permanently shelter Red.

At this moment, all the communicators' consoles went out at the same time, and even the seat of the supreme commander where U was located began to drop directly.

After a moment of shock, Enbei yelled, "What is going on!"

The door to the control desk opened, and as a group of people entered, all the facilities began to operate again, except that the logo on the main screen was replaced with Ouroboros.

Enbei's face changed as he realized a very scary possibility.

U slowly narrowed his eyes and stood up to look at the intruders.

The leading young man took off his sunglasses and gave U a provocative smile.

Chapter 45: The Stolen Operation

"How is this going?"

Ember's hands were shaking a little.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yamato Hidenari. In short, your work will be taken over by us. You can go and have a rest. Ah - and the person above, please move aside. I don't like standing." The young man raised the sunglasses in his hand, staring at U with a provocative smile, without even looking at Enbe.

"Ha!? Don't be ridiculous! This is the command tower of Servier Turia! The only person who can sit in that position is U!"

Enbei reacted, roaring and moving forward to grab Yamato Hidenari's collar, but before he got close, he was stopped on both sides by two people wearing ant-shaped gloves.

"To be precise, he is the supreme commander of Servai Thurria," Yamato Hidenari raised his hand and waved it, then put his hands behind his back and coughed lightly, "Ahem - according to the discussions of the sponsors, U has not effectively reduced the casualties of [S·L] citizens in the past few years as the supreme commander of Servai Thurria, and has made no achievements. Only the savior of mankind can serve as the supreme commander of Servai Thurria. Judging from the current situation..."

Yamato Hidenari paused deliberately, and when everyone's attention was focused on him, he shrugged his shoulders and spoke with great ease.

"U is not cut out to be the savior of mankind."

"Don't be ridiculous! Are you trying to say that you are more suitable for the position of the supreme commander of Serviteuria than U?"

“Hahaha——How could that be? I really respect U. After all, U hasn’t made any big mistakes so far, and I’m not so arrogant as to say that I’m better than U without any actual achievements.” Yamato Hidenari opened his hands, “I heard that you guys are planning to face the semi-ultimate game of the qualifiers passively like before?”

"Then I will tell you a good news. We already have a detailed battle plan to end the semi-ultimate game, and this plan has been recognized and supported by more than half of the sponsors."

"A battle plan to end the semi-ultimate game? What battle plan?" Embe suddenly had a very ominous premonition.

"Haha - it's a very simple plan, so simple that I don't understand why you haven't thought of it after all these years. To put it simply, it is to add new chips with higher value," Yamato Hidenari grinned.

Enbei was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he turned to look at the communicators behind him with an expression of disbelief.

No one believes that it was Yamato Hidenari who came up with this plan himself. If it was Yamato Hidenari, Ouroboros, who had always wanted to replace U, who thought of this plan, he would not have refused to help stop Gamego's semi-ultimate game during the Supreme Council, and the people of Ouroboros would not have jumped out to hand over the work after they had finished dealing with the most troublesome process.

Then there may be only one left, and there is an Ouroboros undercover agent in this command tower!

"No... stop kidding! How can we just let you take away everything we worked so hard for!"

Embi moved forward very swiftly but was held tightly by a person wearing an ant-shaped helmet.

"Ah~ Staff Officer Enbei, human lives are at stake, can you please not bring personal interests into such a serious matter?" Yamato Hidenari touched his ear, "I quite respect you and everyone else sitting here. After all, even if you have no credit, you have worked hard. When I solve the semi-ultimate game of the qualified players and become the supreme commander, I hope you can continue to serve me."

"you!"

"Embe, that's enough," U, who had already stepped down from the position of the highest commander, raised his hand and waved at Embe, then turned and walked towards the door in the opposite direction, "Let's go."

"But-U! Asshole!"

Enbei clenched his fists and roared unwillingly, then followed U with red eyes. The other communicators looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

"Why are you still staying here? Didn't I tell you that we will take over your job?" Yamato Hidenari waved his hand with a wry smile. The men wearing ant-shaped helmets moved to both sides, and a communicator wearing a uniform with the Ouroboros logo came out.

Selvi Turia's communications officer's face darkened instantly.

They thought of a phrase: kill the donkey after it has done its work.

It is no exaggeration to say that they have already handled all the most troublesome work of negotiation, communication and command in this operation. What remains are some things that even amateurs can do. However, the Ouroboros' people have taken away their positions in a domineering manner, and judging from Yamato Hidenari's tone, they will most likely not give them the credit that belongs to them.

But since even U was driven away, they had no choice but to accept the defeat.

Seeing his subordinates gradually occupying the entire Servitua command tower, Yamato Hidenari couldn't help but laughed while covering his forehead. While laughing, he sat on the supreme commander's seat and crossed his legs. "Is this what it feels like to be the savior of mankind? It's much better than I thought."

After playing with the device on the armrest for a while, Yamato Hidenari snapped his fingers.

"Contact the public relations department and have them prepare a global press conference. I want all of humanity to know that I, Yamato Hidenari, will successfully stop the semi-ultimate game that was thought to be impossible to stop. I am the true savior of mankind."

In the public relations department of Serbia Turia, Asano had just finished reading the message sent by Yamato Hidenari and was about to hold a press conference for all mankind when he heard a noise. He just raised his head to scold when he saw Ida rushing in aggressively.

Asano suddenly realized, raised his hand and waved to signal his subordinates who were blocking him to leave, then turned around and sat back slowly.

Soon, Asano and Iida were the only ones left. Iida didn't even adjust his collar before he raised his hand and slammed it on the table, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean, Director Ida? I don't understand what you are saying. I am now preparing a press conference as you said to tell everyone that Servieri Turia is going to stop the qualified players from playing the semi-ultimate game," Asano blinked.

"Stop pretending, you know that's not what I'm talking about! Why did the Ouroboros suddenly come to Servitua!" Ida was extremely angry, "And what about that operation! Why didn't you inform me! You wouldn't... betray me."

"That's really an exaggeration, Director Iida. I just did what you asked me to do, how could it be considered a betrayal? As for operations...what operations? I don't understand. I'm just a director of the public relations department. Things in that area have nothing to do with me," Asano smiled and turned the back of his chair to face Iida.

Veins bulged on Jingtian's forehead.

He only found out an hour ago that U had mobilized all of Servitua's operating funds. After thinking about it for a moment and investigating the evacuation directions and defense projects last night, he immediately guessed U's operations.

This operation will definitely stop Gamego's semi-ultimate game!

If the PR department were to promote the product again at this juncture, U's reputation would reach its peak and all his plans would be in vain.

Before he could do anything, he received another piece of bombshell news. Ouroboros sent personnel to Servi Turia overnight to replace U, and received strong support from other sponsors, including... even the Hongshang Foundation.

Enoch also had an undercover agent in the command tower, but on the most critical night when they could take action, he had no news at all.

Either——

Asano's undercover agent communicated with Enoch's undercover agent. Enoch's undercover agent thought that he had already known the battle plan through Asano, so he did not do anything extra.

Either——

The Enoch Group got to know about this, and after weighing the benefits of him as a technical director and Ouroboros, they simply abandoned him. Lee Jae-young, the president of the Enoch Group, was extremely cunning and resourceful, but he had a fatal weakness, which was his youth. A technical director could not make up for the impact of this weakness.

But seeing how leisurely and unconcerned Jingtian seems now, it is clear that the latter possibility is more likely.

Jingtian exhaled deeply, raised his hand to straighten his collar and snorted, "I heard that you were rejected by Hongshang Fund and made them unhappy? Now that you heard that Hongshang Fund supports Ouroboros's actions, you run over to wag your tail. Do you think this will work?"

Asano's expression froze, and he snorted coldly, "This has nothing to do with you."

"Hmph - don't think this matter will be let go like this."

"No need to bother with that, Director Iida! Thank you for your concern. After all, I have worked in public relations for so many years. I can still tell whether an operation is good or bad, and whether it is worth investing in," Asano smiled proudly.

Successfully stopping Gamego's semi-ultimate game is a sure thing.

Iida glared at Asano unwillingly and turned away.

Chapter 46 Chips - All Your Own

Because of Servieri Turria's quarantine and evacuation, the road to the Royal Casino area was very congested, and it was full of weirdos and humans carrying luggage. Most of them were cursing and expressing their dissatisfaction. Understanding is one thing, and being unhappy is another. Especially after realizing that Servieri Turria only isolated the east side of the Royal Casino, and the other four directions were not isolated at all, their opinions became even greater.

After struggling through the crowded crowd, we arrived at the isolation zone of Servi Turia, where the road became wider. Transport helicopters flew overhead with construction materials, and huge devices were raised to build a defense wall. In just one night, three of the seven prepared defense walls had been completed.

As expected of the human rescue organization Servier Turia, with its terrifying ability to act.

Reid sighed in his heart.

Seeing those defensive walls, he felt much more at ease. The rest was his problem.

The Royal Casino is one of the industries of the Hongshang Fund. Since gambling is legal in [S·L] and is even considered an excellent industry to promote the consumption of O coins, the Royal Casino is located on the 25th to 30th floors of the skyscraper, which includes nightclubs and other entertainment venues, and it takes the word luxury and decadence to the extreme.

When Red parked the car, he discovered that, although Servier Turia had clearly announced that Gamego was conducting a semi-ultimate game, there were still many cars parked in the parking lot. He could even see some people getting out of their cars and walking towards the skyscraper, eager to get started.

First of all, we have to rule out the possibility that they are going to work. No one would be so happy to go to work.

"They... are really not afraid," Red complained as he hung his helmet on the rearview mirror of the Mobile Pegasus and got out of the car.

"They just lack the fear of disaster," Ming Hai took off his helmet and patted the white round-brimmed hat.

"Hmph - people like this often die quickly, but unfortunately our job is to prevent these people who are dancing before death from accidentally jumping down," Qiao glared at the Mobile Pegasus, pulled up the backpack, got out of the car, grabbed Reid's arm, and started walking towards the skyscraper.

Ming Hai glanced at the defensive wall not far away, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked slowly behind Red and Qiao, holding his hat.

After walking through the empty lobby and taking the elevator, which only went up to the 25th floor, the remaining five floors formed a whole. Red had reservations about the fact that no one was willing to use the elevator to skip any of the floors.

Perhaps because of Selvi Turia's statement, no human voice could be heard on the first twenty-four floors. There was only the sound of the elevator running. It was empty and cold, as if it was the silence before falling into hell. But when the elevator reached the 25th floor and the door opened, flowers came towards them. The female receptionist, who was scantily clad, had a devilish figure and an angelic face, smiled charmingly.

"welcome."

Their voices are like honey, which makes your body feel numb.

It turned out that he was not falling into hell, but ascending to heaven. Before he even entered the door, the big angel sister came to greet him.

Reid smiled politely and raised his hand to signal the angel sisters not to bother him. He walked around the angel sister who wanted to put her arm around him and went straight to the stairs leading to the 26th floor. The angel sisters had stiff expressions. In the past, most of the visitors did not even need them to take the initiative, as they would eagerly put their arms around their waists, especially those who came for the first time.

According to their impression, this should be Red's first time here. While they were stunned, Ming Hai and Qiao had already walked out of the elevator and followed Red.

The older angel sisters looked at Ming Hai. Although he looked sickly, his tough eyes made their hearts beat fast, as if they had turned back into little girls. Of course, the one who attracted them the most was Qiao. He was tall, had a lonely and sharp look, and was handsome. It was a pity that his eyes that said "keep away from strangers" were a little scary. In comparison, Red looked much more ordinary, but his ordinariness was a little worrying.

When he reached the stairs, Red discovered that both the guardrail and the stairs were made of translucent material, as if one could glimpse their true appearance, yet they were obscured by a layer of thick fog, making everything hazy. Considering the attire of the angel sisters, Red rubbed his face.

"Don't worry about it, just calm down," Ming Hai raised his hand and patted Red's shoulder.

Red was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

Qiao, who was following at the end, curled her lips and muttered to herself.
