Swordsman Returns from Another World

"The Platinum Lady is entertaining guests here with me. Um...she is not involved in this operation."

After contacting the No-Hero Alliance, Markowitz dialed another number.

"...Activate the knights we have on hand, and the ones who are going to be killed. Get them ready. Also, help me provide some false information to the Supervisory Council."

"Those two heavily armored knights... they could deceive others, but not their enemies who knew them best... so they informed the Supervisory Council that an outside force was intervening in the knight competition without permission."

"Even if they don't like us, we won't refuse at this juncture."

Facts have proved that Charne is not a fool. As the official spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce, although he is just a figure who takes orders from the upper echelons, his ability is still unquestionable.

He had made many plans to specifically target those knights who were not in line with the wishes of the Chamber of Commerce. Although he was not present at the expulsion of Knight Yao, all the clues were connected as long as he used his brain a little.

A strange Ursus bodyguard, a young businessman from Longmen who lives in Columbia, a heavily armored knight with connections to old nobles, and an exotic girl from Dishui Village...

Mr. Huaiyu... Dr. Baiyu, you are too blatant. What do you think of the Business Federation? You actually tried to get away with such a lame lie.

You actually thought you could get something out of this with such an arrogant plan...

Charne wanted to smile, but for some reason, he felt as if a hand was gripping his heart, and he felt a wave of uneasy palpitations.

He was too blatant, entering the scene in such a high-profile manner, never doubting his own abilities, and never hiding the uniqueness of his every move...

Does he really want to hide it?

Charne swallowed, turned around, and hurried back to the VIP room.

………………

Maenna stood quietly in the middle of the avenue.

This is the only way to the Flame Blade Arena, a wide pedestrian path.

He looked quietly at the arena in front of him. The arena was so tall, like the huge belly of some magnificent creature. Advertising banners hung from the white exterior walls, like the long hair of a creature.

Countless spotlights on top of the arena shined towards the sky. In the dark night, they looked like phantom beams of light, waving and swaying towards the sky, as if they were going to splash colorful paint on the dark starry night.

Just like the Chamber of Commerce itself, it wants to get involved in everything.

Mauna's hand dropped and fell quietly on her scabbard.

Tonight he came with a sword, as always.

On the timeline without Baiyou's interference, Bai Jin was sent to monitor Mainna's movements at this point in time, because even though Mainna had been silent for so long, the Chamber of Commerce still did not dare to relax.

Every time they stared at the man on the surveillance camera nodding and bowing to apologize to the customer, they did not dare to force out even the slightest laugh, but could only feel a chill.

A sense of disobedience.

It's like some kind of arrogant and noble life that is above many things, putting on a mask and pretending to be cold and indifferent to cater to the vulgar world.

But he doesn't pretend. In his every move and in the gaps in his eyes, you can get a glimpse of his vicious nature.

Maenna stood in the middle of the avenue and walked forward until he saw several figures.

Among the figures, a man in blue clothes and holding a bow stood out.

"Oh... you're here after all? I knew this mission wouldn't be that easy." He raised his hand and rubbed his head, with an awkward and even somewhat flattering smile on his face, looking very easy to talk to.

However, the Wuzhe League assassins behind him, who had already drawn their arrows, destroyed the atmosphere.

"How about a deal? Mr. Manna, just like every time in the past, you turn your head, walk away, and pretend nothing happened...how about that?"

Maenna did not answer his question, but asked softly: "What's your name?"

The man in green clothes not far away paused, lowered his head to think, but after a moment he raised his head with a smile and said, "I am the Blue Gold Master of the Wu Zhou Alliance. You can call me... Roy."

"Roy, um... Roy, do you have a last name?" Mainna took a step forward, and in return all the Helmetless Alliance assassins behind Roy drew their bows and drew their arrows.

Although being pointed at by countless powerful arrows, Mainna pretended not to see them and stared at Roy.

Roy responded quietly, "I do, Mr. Mahenna, but I can't tell you."

"Because you are a shameful assassin, you are the Blue Gold Lord of the No-Hero Alliance, and your duty requires you to protect your last name and surname from being known to others." Mainna raised his voice a little.

Roy thought back to the countless surveillance videos he had seen in the past. He could sense that the middle-aged Son of Light in front of him was shedding all his disguises.

He swallowed and waited quietly for Maenna's next words, even though he already knew the answer.

Chapter 628: Renewed Glory

"But I'm different."

"My last name is Lin Guang."

Saying this means there is nothing to talk about.

He already said his last name was Linguang, what else could I talk about?

You know, there is another guy named Lin Guang in the venue who is killing everyone.

Roy took a deep breath, not giving up the last bit of death, and gently persuaded: "Mr. Manna, Miss Maria's safety will not be a problem..."

"Do you believe this yourself?" asked Mainna.

Roy had no intention of answering and changed the subject: "Mr. Mahenna, you have seen it clearly over the years, right?"

"Why do you suddenly seem intolerable at this moment? If you leave now, I... as the Lord of Blue Gold, can assure you that Miss Maria will survive."

"I don't need it. She has her own path to follow. I am standing here only because I want to bear witness as the elder of the Linguang family."

Mainna slowly placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword.

He just finished speaking.

Roy, who was not far away, pulled out the arrow at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. The speed of drawing the bow and putting the arrow on seemed to have cut out the preparation time directly.

By the time the last syllable of the word "Maenna" disappeared, a green arrow had already been shot out!

"Oh!!!"

The arrow exploded suddenly in front of Mainna, accompanied by the harsh sound of metal clashing, deafening.

When the arrow fragments scattered, Mainna appeared there and had already drawn his sword without knowing when.

Roy was very fast, but shockingly, Mahenna, who was thought to be rusty from bowing and kneeling for so long, was even faster than him.

Seeing this, Roy's eye twitched.

His sneak attack was taken so easily even though he had planned it without realizing it. Could it be that this son of Lin Guang, who had been a social animal for so many years, had been hiding his abilities all along?

Mauna stared at Roy quietly and said softly, "I really want to know when the Wuzhou League will realize that helping the Business Federation is not a good way out."

Roy smiled bitterly and responded, "These are things that the three bosses above should consider. I don't have the guts to talk nonsense here."

As he spoke, he pulled out another arrow from the quiver, put it on the bow, and sighed: "To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so strong, Mr. Mahenna. Over the years, we really thought you just... gave up."

"I think so too." Mainna lowered her eyes, and there was no passion on her tired face, just like a social animal who just got off work.

No, it was indeed a corporate slave who had just got off work. He was still at work today, and even the clothes he was wearing were the combination of a suit and coat that he wore to work today, except that he had a sword on him.

He was still nodding and fawning to win over clients during the day, but tonight, he stood outside the arena, trying to break through the barrier formed by the Wuzhou Alliance in front of him.

"Today during the day I was still thinking about what reason I would use to explain the delay of my plan when I meet with the client next time, but when I got off work today, I thought about it."

Mauna slowly raised the sword.

"...I am the head of the Linguang family. The children of the family have important things to do. So, even if you don't like the name of knight, even if you hate Casimir now, even if you hate the Commercial Federation to the extreme."

"I have to come too, that's all. This is... an adult's duty."

Roy raised the bow in his hand, and the Helmetless Alliance assassins behind him made the same move.

Elsewhere on the wide avenue, whether in the grass of the distant green belt or on the crowns of individual green trees, the same cold light was lit up.

It was like a net being woven quietly, like hunters wielding a lasso, trying to catch the proud, snorting Pegasus in front of them.

Mauna took a step forward, sword in hand.

The former ranger finally found his original intention at this moment. It was not the despair after being hit by Casimir, nor the indifference after being accustomed to suffering.

It was the rage surging from within, the burning heat that had been burning his body for decades, and the other self that had grabbed his throat and roared and questioned him in countless late nights.

"Maenna, have you forgotten who you are?"

"Who are you? Do you need someone else to define you?"

Anger that has gone unvoiced for decades.

Decades of grief that has not been relieved.

There has been no blooming light for decades.

Mainna let out a long breath and stared forward, while Roy let go of the string.

In an instant, countless clear sounds that cut through the air came from all directions without holding back.

Faced with countless arrows that almost instantly hit his face, Maenna Linguang raised his sword.

Release the depression that has been gnawing at your burning heart for decades.

A new sun suddenly appeared above the broad road.

"Because my last name is Lin Guang! I don't need anyone to acknowledge me, not even Casimir!"

A deep voice came from within the sun.

………………

The other side of the venue.

Shining withdrew his gaze and looked quietly at the Candle Knight beside him.

The two sat on a bench, Shining in the middle and Viviana sitting on the edge to her right, looking down at a book.

This is another main road leading to the venue, and the two have been sitting here all night.

Fortunately, Bai You's estimation was correct. Footsteps were heard on the road to Shining's left. She looked up and met a woman in green.

Behind her, followed a dozen fully armed men.

After the woman in green saw the Shining, she shuddered for some reason.

After swallowing, she raised her hand, stopped the steps of her subordinates behind her, and asked softly, "I guess you two are not waiting for me, right?"

Shining didn't say anything, but Viviana beside her closed the book with a snap.

"The Azure Gold Lord of the No Clan Alliance, if you are, then we are waiting for you." She turned to look at the woman in blue and said, "Monique, you can't go any further."

"The No-Head Alliance is not welcome in that arena." Viviana said word by word.

Monique looked at Shining with some fear. If it was just Viviana, she wouldn't be so scared. At most, she could let her subordinates hold her back, and she could still rush into the venue.

But this Sarkaz woman... this guy in black, was like a nail driven into the corner of her eye, making her unable to look away. That kind of presence that could not be ignored made Monique think of many bad things in the past.

Monique swallowed and asked softly, "Can I ask who is behind this?"

"It seems that both the Business Federation and us have unknowingly fallen into someone's plan. I am very curious about what kind of person... could do such a thing."

Chapter 629: Three-sided stalemate

At this point, Viviana turned her head and looked at Shining, as if asking her if she wanted to say it.

This also made Monique realize that the current protagonist is this Sarkaz man of unknown origin.

Shining looked at Monique and whispered, "All we have to do is bring the Knight back to Casimir."

"What we want to do is something that even those who cannot become knights, even ordinary people who can only buy cheap beer to numb their nerves and watch one or two knight competitions to satisfy their addiction, will yearn for."

"Those are his exact words."

"He...?" Monique frowned slightly.

"Our...leader." Shining said softly, "If you don't want to move forward, come and sit down. The competition in the stadium will take a while."

"No choice?" Monique asked.

"…There is enough light tonight, and I don't want to draw my sword." Shining said softly.

If anyone else said this, Monique would not take it seriously. Even the previous champion Blood Knight was just a little difficult in the eyes of the No-Hero Alliance.

But for some reason, Monique's instinct as a top assassin was gripping her heart tightly, not allowing her to make the slightest movement.

The Sarkaz woman in front of me is very strong.
