Big Mouth Mob suddenly understood something and let out a long sigh.
That's right, when the Storm Knight's appearance was revealed by Roy on the spot, the fairness of the special tournament was gone. How can a non-existent thing constrain the spokesperson?
Big Mouth Mob wanted to open his mouth to condemn, but thinking back to his dreams and current life, he hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and closed his mouth.
At this point, the development of the matter has been out of the control of the spokesperson in just a few minutes. The spokesperson only wants to quickly drive the Storm Knight and the Rift Knight who are still on the field off the field to prevent the Rift Knight from being torn apart and exposing more problems. But how can everyone tolerate his attitude of wanting both?
If one person didn't say anything, someone else would. The next second after Big Mouth Mob was silent, someone in the VIP seat suddenly stood up and pointed at the Storm Knight who was kneeling on the ground in the middle of the arena and coughing up blood:
"You actually used banned drugs. Is the knight competition in Casimir such a filthy place? Where is your fairness? Where is your justice? Where is your shining chivalry? Is it written in a book or engraved on the money?"
"Rematch? Shameful! I don't agree"
The speaker was the president of the Victoria Knight Cultural Protection Association, the wealthy businessman Mai.
If it was someone else's accusation, it would be fine. The Chamber of Commerce was in full swing in Casimir, and the so-called control of the Supervisory Committee had long been in name only. They could easily guide the media to shut up a mouth. But the one who spoke was Mai, a Victorian, a person with little power and status in Victoria.
What ability do they have to shut up a popular figure in front of the Grand Duke?
The spokesperson's red face turned pale, but this was just the beginning.
"Don't talk nonsense, we don't recognize this result! I also think that the Meteorite Knights won. The Storm Knights actually used banned drugs to compete. Such people should be disqualified!"
When one person takes the lead, the voices of the people will surge. As soon as Mai finished speaking, someone immediately joined in. Then it was one person, a group of people, and everyone. The private discussions gradually turned into a noisy clamor, and finally turned into a massive unanimous condemnation!
Backlash, this is backlash. The Business Federation tried to deconstruct the traditional knight culture, turning the niche into the mainstream, and turning the serious into entertainment, so they had to be prepared to bear this backlash. When the knights became idols, and the special tournaments became a competition for idols to compete, they would face the risk of collapse! Moreover, because the Business Federation popularized the noble spirit of chivalry into everyone's mind, once the knights, an idol, collapsed, it would be much more thrilling than the entertainment industry!
Today, Storm Knight can take banned substances to compete, but what about Rift Knight on the same team? What about the other knights? Blood Knight, Candle Knight, Left Hand Knight, Whip Knight, what about them?
Question, question again!
Except for the innocence of Knight Roy who exposed this shameful truth, all the knights will be judged by the overwhelming public opinion, and there is no stopping it until all the knights have been examined and all the scums have been driven out!
"Look, how did you do this?"
Realizing what might happen, even Charne, who was dissatisfied in his heart, could not help but become serious. If the building collapses this time, the Business Federation will suffer heavy losses, this special tournament will become a laughing stock, and one of Casimir's signature features will be destroyed!
This will cause a huge wave of unemployment, economic downturn, and incalculable economic losses, which is something no member of any business association wants to see!
The spokesman looked ashen, and he could not think of any way to break the impasse, unless...
"The Meteor...Knight...that punch...was really heavy."
A sudden voice suddenly sounded in the arena. It was a hoarse voice coming from the throat of the Storm Knight.
"Look how you beat me...my ears are ringing...what are they talking about?"
"They said you and Rift Knight took illegal drugs."
Roy looked at Storm Knight with an unpredictable expression.
He saw the pleading in the eyes of the Storm Knight, and also saw the Rift Knight's body suddenly stop and tremble.
They were trying their best to suppress the loss of sanity brought on by doping, and they were begging Roy to let them go.
The choice was his. He could calmly follow public opinion and denounce the fact that Storm Knight and Rift Knight took contraband, even though he knew that the two did not volunteer and were not even aware of the conspiracy in the armor. Because if this punch went down, the Business Federation would not only be seriously injured, but it might even fall into division. Those directors who were only interested in making money would not sit back and watch the conspirators and ambitious people seek the so-called "greater benefits" at the expense of their interests. This would also give the Supervisory Council a sigh of relief.
But is this in his interest?
He is a member of the Wuzhou Alliance. What he wants to see is not one side having an absolute advantage, but a river of blood!
Roy raised his head slightly, looked at the commentary desk, smiled, then turned around, stretched out his hand, and said:
"Sorry, I was a little too harsh."
In an instant, color returned to the faces of Storm Knight and the spokesman.
But the next second, Roy's words made their hearts skip a beat again.
"You don't look very well. Is there something wrong with your armor?"
"Referee, please identify the armor of the Storm Knight and the Rift Knight. Woma Heavy Industry and Gaofeng Sports are suspected of illegally modifying the armor!"
Roy always wanted revenge and retaliation. The people behind these two companies wanted to mess with him. Although he didn't need to completely destroy the Business Federation, it was necessary to make these two companies bleed and give them a small punishment and a big warning.
Just compensate me a few million first.
"So, referee, can you declare victory?"
Looking at the commentary desk, Roy said.
The spokesperson pursed his lips, looked at the big-mouthed Mob beside him, and nodded.
"Declare Roy the winner."
He had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
Not only could he not refute it, he also had to thank Roy.
Thank you for your "kindness" Meteor Knight.
Volume 1: Chapter 60 Someone gives you a task to kill you
"Gaofeng Sports and Womar Heavy Industry are colluding to cheat? After all, banned drugs cannot defeat absolute strength!"
"These tabloids are really getting better at writing headlines. This gimmick is so catchy that even I can't help but want to buy a copy and read it."
Looking at Roy who was reading a newspaper in front of him, Xinteleya's mouth twitched slightly.
The Red Wine News is not just a tabloid, it is the undisputed king of Casimir gossip. It is also said that a talented reporter has recently emerged in the newspaper, and the sales of the newspaper have been rising steadily. Now even the Rose Newspaper has to give in.
Besides, come to think of it, the protagonists of the newspaper in your hand are you and that golden monster, right? Are you really not ashamed to read out other people's second-year titles seriously? Bai Jin felt that he could not do it.
A three-bedroom apartment is now a three-bedroom apartment. Xinteleya is still worried about Roy's physical condition. Knight competition is not a good job. When Xinteleya was a knight, her reputation was not very popular and she did not participate in many competitions. But even so, she still encountered no less than ten requests for match-fixing. She spent almost her entire career with match-fixing. Therefore, she knows how much courage it takes to stand in Roy's position and resolutely refuse match-fixing.
Not to mention, someone like Roy, who has clearly adhered to the Three No's Principles and slapped the face of the Chamber of Commerce more than once, is still able to live healthily to this day.
This time, the Business Federation has used illegal drugs and super armor to try to cause Roy's physical or social death on the field. What kind of underhanded methods will they use next time?
Compared with the Chamber of Commerce, the Wuzhou Alliance is as pure and white as a white lotus.
Xinteleya was deeply worried about Roy's future safety and couldn't help but suggest:
"Master, you are now famous enough, why don't we go and discuss this with the boss? This mission should be considered completed, right?"
Roy shook his head: "Not really."
It definitely can’t be counted. If it is counted, what will happen to his mission?
Looking at the two unexpected tasks that were refreshed temporarily, Roy thought in his heart.
[Unexpected Encounter: The Future of Whip Blade: Exploring the Future of Whip Blade Knight]
[Unexpected Encounter: Maenna's New House: Maenna has already started preparing to rebuild the Linguang Mansion, help him. ]
Both missions don't seem difficult. The Future of Whipblade, as the name suggests, is a mission about Whipblade Knight Zofia. In the original plot, Zofia is a left-handed person but can only use her right hand because she was seriously injured in her left hand when she played against the Rift Knight in the top 16 of the Special Championship, and it will never heal.
But now, the Rift Knight lost in the match against Roy, and his companion Storm Knight was found to have used contraband and illegally modified armor. Although he was not caught on the spot, his reputation has plummeted. As a lackey of the Chamber of Commerce, it has become almost impossible for him to continue to participate in the special championship.
Whip Knight will no longer encounter the Rift Knight who restrains her in all aspects. Where will her future go?
The mission did not give specific requirements and goals, only a general suggestion, and the rest depended on Roy's own performance. In other words, Roy could choose to play a witness to see what kind of opponents Zofia would face and what kind of ending would happen in the changed history. But at the same time, he could also play a participant and personally guide the Whip Knight's direction towards a new future.
"Let's talk to Zofia some other time."
As for the task of Mainna's new house, Roy didn't have any good ideas. Help him? How could he help Mainna? Didn't he already get the prize money for the competition?
Could it be that he wanted to recommend a house style to him?
Then Roy would have to tell him the legend of the basement of Tresen College.
All in all, the mission cannot be completed yet. It's not that Roy likes playing in the special tournament so much. He has no interest in provoking the Commercial Federation. But he is interested in earning mission rewards by provoking the Commercial Federation, and it is very interested!
Roy waved his hand at Xinteleia. In order to prevent Little Platinum from asking further questions, he asked first:
"Let's not talk about that. Little Bai Jin, why did you come to see me so early in the morning? Is there something wrong?"
Xinteleya pursed her lips and nodded.
It was only eight in the morning, and she had just arrived at Roy's room at seven in the morning. Normally, at this time, she should still be sleeping in the warm bed. The reason why she hurried to find Roy was that she really had something important to report.
"Master, the boss gave me a task some time ago."
Bai Jin paused, and under Roy's curious gaze, he continued:
"She asked me to select candidates from the No-Helm Alliance to form a special additional formation, codenamed [Fuse]."
"【fuse】?"
Roy was stunned.
In his impression, although Xuantie, the old and dishonest hunter, often got into trouble, he had never really given orders beyond his level. This was the first time he had heard of someone bypassing Roy and Monique and giving orders directly to Little Platinum.
Moreover, the mission this time is nothing else but to form a secret force?
Since ancient times, there have been only three reasons for the establishment of a secret force. First, to keep it as a backup and to save the situation when the situation is unfavorable, such as Sima Yi's death squad. Second, to monitor the enemy's situation and grasp the intelligence of subordinates and enemies to gain an advantage in the struggle, such as the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. Third, there is a secret operation that cannot be known to outsiders, so a special secret force can only be established. The most typical example is the old predecessors who seem to have disappeared mysteriously, but are actually making mushroom bombs.
What is the purpose of establishing the [Fuse] team?
What exactly is this fuse protecting or guarding against?
It can't be me?
Roy smacked his lips, looked at Xinteleya, and said:
"Have you told Monique about this?"
Xinteleya immediately shook her head: "No, the boss said that this is the best I can tell you."
The most you can tell me?
Why can you tell me that I am counted as an insider?
This made Roy even more confused. If the Fuse Team was guarding against him, then it didn't make sense for Xuantie to authorize Baijin to let him know about this. If they were not guarding against him, then why did they draw elite members from the Wuzhou Alliance and their team to form a secret team with such a strange code name?
Just when Roy was at a loss for words, the anonymous phone rang as usual, regardless of the atmosphere or time.
Roy's frown tightened even more. He raised his hand to stop Xinteleya from speaking. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the phone and greeted her in a relaxed tone:
"Boss? Today is a day off. I won't be working!"
"Well done, Roy." Xuantie's processed voice sounded again, this time with a hint of laughter in his tone, "Do you know what just happened?"
"What?" Roy asked.
Xuan Tie replied with a smile: "Someone has given you a mission. The goal is very simple, to assassinate Roy."
Xuan Tie waited for Roy's surprised or playful response, but he didn't expect that the first thing Roy said subconsciously was to ask:
“How much am I worth?”
Volume 1: Chapter 61: The Killer Playing House
Looking at the conference hall with two empty seats, the director of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals had a look of sarcasm on his face.
"What did I say at the beginning? I should have said it earlier. Instead of making so many fancy conspiracies, why not just order the No Heroes Alliance to assassinate that Roy? Wouldn't that put an end to it all?"
His eyes swept across the silent crowd and finally landed on reporter Kane. It was he who confidently proposed one so-called good plan after another, but what happened now?
"Now, the plan has failed, and two of our directors have been implicated. The Supervisory Committee will not let go of this opportunity. The judges of the National Assembly's Supervisory Committee have already launched an investigation into Woma Heavy Industry and Gaofeng Sports. The two are now busy and exhausted. If you don't want to be imprisoned like them, then listen to me and use the Wuzhou League, right?"
"Kane, isn't that right?"
Hearing the teasing voice of the director of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals, Kane curled his lips with a look of disdain, but he didn't know how to say anything against it.
There were also several factions in the Business Federation, and the director of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals was not in the same faction as himself. He was pursuing long-term interests, expanding into foreign countries, plotting to conquer Columbia, and competing for hegemony over Terra, while the director of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals only wanted to make money, and he probably didn't even think about taking over Casimir.
He had to rely on the power of the Business Federation, otherwise he alone would not be able to fight against the big capitalists in Colombia. He wanted to use the success of these two plans to establish his prestige in the Business Federation and gradually control the Business Federation, but he did not expect that the plans failed twice in a row, and he lost both his wife and his army.
Now, even if Kane didn't look up, he could feel the unfriendly looks from his colleagues.
Now is not the time to refute. He wisely judged so and chose to remain silent under the questioning of the director of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals.
Seeing that reporter Kane didn't dare to speak, Rebirth Pharmaceuticals Director Amar snorted in boredom, turned around, and said again:
"Well, let's start voting now. Those who support the use of the No Heroes Alliance, please raise your hands."
He was the first to raise his hand, and in response, several directors raised their hands as well. Only the directors from reporter Kane's faction remained silent.
As the number of people failed to reach two-thirds, Amar's face became increasingly ugly.
"You've created a mess but can't come up with a solution. What else do you want to do?"
"Treating, beheading, accepting him as a dog. This is just the beginning." The CEO of Red Wine News laughed, "It's just two small plans that failed. There's no need to be so nervous. Roy is a talent. Before beheading him, why not try accepting him as a dog first?"
"Go ahead and try!" Amar gritted his teeth. Roy had caused him a lot of losses, and he didn't have the time to spend more money to corrupt a troublesome person.
