Accepting the price offered by the Business Federation was one thing, but playing a fake match was another. Roy was not like those knights who joined the Knights and were supported by big financial groups. He was not a hound raised by the Business Federation. There was no need for him to do something that went against his conscience and lowered his status. Besides, how could he not see through the Business Federation's little tricks? Once a fake match was done, it would leave a handle. Roy did not want to be restricted by them in such a place.

Besides, Manna was not so easy to fool. Although surrendering on the spot was unlikely to be noticed, it was better to be sure.

Roy looked at the two broken-horn Sarkaz who were sitting there in a daze. They remained silent about their fates that were being arranged over and over again, as if the people sitting there were not two people, but just two empty suits of armor.

By the way, Mainna seems to have a good Sarkaz brother who is a bounty hunter. His name is Tolan, right?

In the original plot, after Corruption and Withering were defeated, they seemed to be rescued and treated by Tolan. And Tolan also has a relationship with the other two bounty hunters.

Roy thought for a moment and said:

"These two knights are Sarkaz, right? And they seem to be infected?"

Charne and McGee looked at each other. Although they didn't know how Roy knew they were infected, they still nodded:

"Yes, they are quite strong. If they were not infected, we would not have specially built full body armor for two Sarkaz."

After all, if they were allowed to appear on the field without covering up the oripathy crystals on their bodies, it might cause panic. The Blood Knights were an exception among exceptions.

"That's perfect." Roy nodded. "Can you lend them to me for a while?"

"Borrow? What do you want to borrow them for?"

"Looking for someone." Roy said, "Bounty hunter."

............

Walking out of the Knights Association's building, Roy whistled happily.

The matter of borrowing the Corruption and Decay was put on hold for the time being. The Business Federation would not easily agree to lend two Sarkaz infected people who could get out of control at any time and cause large-scale riots to Roy, a "new friend" who had just reached a cooperation and was not even considered to be recruited. But Roy was not in a hurry. The Special Championship had just entered the knockout stage, and he and Tolan had no intersection for the time being, so there was no need to rush to improve this wave of goodwill. What's more, even if they didn't agree, they would have to agree later.

A cat's meow sounded in response, and Roy greeted Monique, who was hiding in the dark and had not yet appeared. Then, as if he was suddenly thirsty, he walked towards an ice cream truck on the side of the road.

"Little girl, you're still selling ice cream in the middle of winter?"

Looking at the white-haired Kuranta girl wearing a baseball cap and a cute pink heart sticker on her face, Roy smiled and joked.

The disguised Sintela rolled her eyes at him. There was no trace of disguise in her expression, it was completely natural, just like a real waitress at an ice cream stand.

She reached out her hand, took out an ice cream cone from the box, and said indifferently:

"What flavor do you want?"

"Let me think, let's have half of each matcha and strawberry." Roy said. After Sintela (Limited Edition Ice Cream Truck) handed him the ice cream, he pushed the ice cream back to Little Platinum, winked at him, and said, "This is for you, beautiful lady... Just consider it a mission benefit (lowered his voice)." Then he said, "I want chocolate flavor."

Xinteleya's face turned slightly red, then she glared at him with some shame and anger, and replaced his ice cream with another serving of chocolate flavor.

Roy took the ice cream without any preparation, paid for it, and turned around to leave when he bumped into the blue-haired Miss Filin who was queuing behind him. The ice cream in his hand fell out of his hand, but was miraculously caught by Miss Filin in front of him the next moment.

"Sorry." Monique showed an innocent expression, handed the ice cream back to Roy with an apologetic look, and said, "Are you okay?"

Roy shook his head and reminded, "It's okay, thank you."

As he spoke, he took the ice cream from Monique and walked towards the street.

Ten minutes later, a commotion was heard from not far away on the street. A group of people dressed as police officers quickly passed through the crowd and surrounded the ice cream truck.

"The Meteor Knight was poisoned and hospitalized on the street! Was it an accident or murder? Red Wine News reporter Apophis reports live for you!" Holding a microphone, the female reporter Liberi, who arrived at the scene at the first time, said excitedly to the camera.

PS: I’ll draw cards tomorrow!

Volume 1: Chapter 64: Self-directed and self-acted

Casimir, Central Hospital.

A series of hurried footsteps were heard in the quiet hospital corridor, and finally stopped at the door of room number 301. The visitor, sweating profusely, looked up at the room, confirmed that he had not walked into the wrong place, pulled his tie, wiped the sweat off his face, swallowed his saliva, and walked into the room with a nervous mood.

The visitor was none other than Charnei, and the person living in the room at the moment, needless to say, was none other than the Meteor Knight who was "poisoned and assassinated" in the street - Roy.

Walking into the door, Charne was extremely nervous. He was also screwed by Hound Pro. Who knows what happened? Roy was talking to them well, just walked out of the Knights Association, and was poisoned and assassinated in the blink of an eye. If you say that this matter has nothing to do with the Business Federation, no one will believe it.

Moreover, the poisoning killer's method was very skillful and was hardly noticed by anyone. There were no positive eyewitness reports either. It was obviously a professional's job. And where did the only professional killer in Casimir come from?

No alliance.

Who will command the Wuzhe League?

Chamber of Commerce.

After the Business Federation realized what was happening, they immediately called the middleman of the Wuzhou League and asked him about it. Wow, there was indeed such an urgent task on the Wuzhou League's task list. This means that without the board of directors approving the use of the Wuzhou League on Roy, one or more directors took the initiative to activate the Wuzhou League without the board of directors' knowledge, resulting in the current passive situation.

Therefore, even if Charne really had no idea about this sudden incident, the Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to take the blame. There was no other way. They just wanted to push it onto someone else, but Roy and the others didn't believe it.

The Business Federation is currently holding an internal emergency meeting to investigate the matter, and he can only be pushed out as a representative to discuss with Roy how to resolve the matter.

Thinking of this, Qial was even more speechless. Although I don't know who this director who acted on his own and dispatched the Wuzhou League is, why did you not act earlier or later, but acted when I finally negotiated the terms? What does it mean? Deliberately targeting me? I sent the person away, and then he was poisoned. Do I still want to have a good reputation? Will I still be able to survive in the underworld in the future? Not to mention, you didn't act quickly, so you poisoned him, but you didn't send him away. Now I'm in an awkward position. This person is not someone who can be easily dealt with.

Holding back the pain in his chest, Charne forced a smile. Just as he was about to say hello to Roy who was lying on the hospital bed, he noticed Roy's strange look.

At this moment, Roy was lying peacefully on the hospital bed with his hands folded on his abdomen. Around him, baskets of flowers sent by visitors were placed in a circle around him, and all kinds of fruit baskets were placed on the bed. At first glance, he looked like he passed away peacefully. Charne was stunned and took a long time to come back to his senses. He asked carefully:

"Mr. Roy, are you okay?"

Roy didn't even open his eyes. He started to sneer and said, "Something's wrong. It's a big deal. Why didn't Mr. Charney bring any incense sticks? Or some tributes. Aren't you eager to see me lying in the funeral home like this?"

Charne's eyelids jumped, and he quickly denied it, "Mr. Roy, you are the most popular knight in Casimir. If you fall, it will be a huge loss for the entire knight competition."

Roy did not shy away from it. He sat up, chuckled, and asked, "Why didn't you think of this when you arranged for someone to poison me?"

Charney could only smile bitterly and answer: "I'm sorry, I really don't know about this matter."

"Not aware of it?" Roy curled his lips in disdain. "Does anyone believe you? Who else could be so blatantly assassinated in the Great Knight's Territory except the No Helmet Alliance?"

Roy knew about the No Heir Alliance. Charne immediately caught this information, but soon he shook his head again.

If you know it, then you know it. There is nothing surprising about it. The Helmetless Alliance may be just an illusory urban legend to the general public in Casimir, but the great knights like the Blood Knight and the Candle Knight have already known the truth that the Helmetless Alliance does exist. This is also a means for the Knights to control their knights.

Roy knew this, which only showed that his background was not simple. But did Charney need to discover this now? The Business Federation had already come to this conclusion when Roy first emerged.

Seeing that Roy directly mentioned the Wuzhan Alliance, Charne could only sigh and shook his head helplessly:

"Mr. Roy is right. The only ones who can carry out assassinations in the Great Knight Territory are the No-Heroes Alliance. But I can also tell you responsibly that if the assassination against you was really carried out by the No-Heroes Alliance, you would not have the opportunity to talk to me like this."

This is what Charne is bluffing about. The No-Horn Alliance is indeed powerful, but it is not yet to the point where every assassination is 100% successful. They also need to plan and try repeatedly to find the best opportunity to kill the target. For example, the assassination method of one-shot kill usually requires the deployment of No-Horn Alliance leaders of at least Platinum rank or above to achieve it.

The person who tried to assassinate Roy this time was probably just an ordinary member of the Helmetless Alliance, which is why Roy was able to survive.

But Charne didn't think that Roy, a knight, would know the secrets of the Helmetless Alliance, so he took them out openly as a bargaining chip.

And what about Roy? Roy looked away subtly. This small action was interpreted by Charne as a guilty conscience.

In fact, how could Roy not know? He knew it was over!

Not only did he know that he was also involved in the assassination plan, but he was also joined by another Qingjin and the newly appointed Baijin. This was the strongest assassination lineup under Xuantie.

In order to ensure the authenticity of the assassination, Roy even deliberately let Monique use a strong poison, and he did not take the antidote in advance as planned. Instead, he relied on the sea constitution attached to the module [The Last Knight] to forcibly resist the poison. Therefore, the Business Federation could not find any flaws.

The purpose of doing such a big job is of course not anything else but to ask for a sky-high price!

"Humph, if you say so, then so be it. I'll take it as the truth!" Roy pretended to be unwilling and said righteously, "But I still want an explanation for this matter."

"As for the instigator, the Federation will give you a satisfactory answer after an internal investigation." Charne said, without mentioning a word about compensation and trying to continue to play dumb.

But Roy didn't intend to give him this opportunity. Before he could continue, Roy said righteously: "Charne, you know, my explanation is more than that."

"Promise me three conditions, otherwise our agreement will be void. Even if I have to risk being assassinated by the Wu Zhou Alliance again, I will expose everything that happened today and on the field!"

Volume 1: Chapter 65 It doesn't matter, I will open the market

Casimir Chamber of Commerce, Chamber Building.

The fluorescent sign at KGCC is a little dim today.

While Charner was being blackmailed and tortured by Roy in the hospital, the Chamber of Commerce was also busy. The board of directors was called for the third time in a week, and it was because of the same person. This was unprecedented, but no one dared to object to it. Because, at this time, if anyone dared to say no, it would be hindering everyone from making money. For these capitalists, cutting off someone's financial resources is more cruel than killing their parents! Therefore, they will not hesitate to use more cruel means to deal with those who dare to do so!

His fist slammed heavily on the round table. The board of directors fell silent, leaving only Kane, the reporter who convened the meeting, furious!

"It's smashed, it's smashed, you know that!"

He swept his eyes over everyone present and spat mercilessly.

"You guys are ruining the situation, do you know that? You negotiated first, then assassinated, and you even did it behind the back of the board of directors. Who gave you the courage to break the rules like this?"

"Everyone, if the Helmetless Alliance can be mobilized casually by individuals, then let alone using the Helmetless Alliance to restrain the Knights and fight against the Supervisory Council, the lives and property of all of us will be threatened! This is no small matter! I have always believed that you would not do such a thoughtless thing, but now, I have to say that there is a traitor among us!"

Kane's tone was very excited, as if he was really indignant about this. He reached out and took the transparent sealed bag handed to him by McGee. Inside was a seal with the KGCC seal. Without any unnecessary embellishments, and without giving anyone room for explanation or negotiation, Kane did not hesitate for a moment, raised the sealed bag, and showed it to everyone. Before anyone could react, he announced directly:

"I found this in the home of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals Chairman Amar. It was a private seal of the Business Federation Board of Directors that he had carved. Obviously, a traitor among us was stupid enough to think that he could privately carve the seal without being discovered!"

There was an uproar in the meeting room. Compared to the silence when they were just accused of arbitrarily mobilizing the Wu Zhou League, the discussion at this moment was almost enough to blow the roof off the room.

It's just a secret transfer of the Helmetless Alliance. Everyone has actually done it before. It's just a tacit agreement. It's not a big deal. It's not as serious as what reporter Kane said. You can transfer, I can transfer, and to round it off, no one can transfer, right?

But it is different for privately engraving official seals. The business association represents the interests of everyone. If one person acts alone, it is entirely possible that he will make money for himself and deviate from the interests of everyone. For these people, if they cannot make money together, then it is best for no one to make money. Otherwise, watching others make money while they cannot make money is more painful than losing money.

Besides, if it wasn't for the purpose of forming an organization to fight against the Supervisory Council and the old knight nobles, and to overthrow the feudal lords who used to ride on their heads, the Commercial Federation would not have been established. Now that they have become successful and are no longer afraid of the Supervisory Council, a traitor has emerged from within and wants to be superior to us. How can this be considered as a result? Why?

Soon, the noisy crowd united their will. The highly respected chairman of the Kavaleriaki General Power Company was elected and asked, pulling his beard: "Emar, you have to give us an explanation!"

Amar was speechless.

He knew that Kane was seeking revenge, and in order to seek revenge he was deceiving and inciting. But he could not refute it.

No matter how stupid he was, he couldn't do such a stupid thing as forging a private seal. The seal he used to order the No Helmet Alliance to act was undoubtedly the real seal of the Casimir Business Association. He could tell others about this, but he knew it would not help.

Privately engraving official seals is never a big deal. A seal lover may collect a series of counterfeit seals from Victoria's royal seal to the imperial seal of the Great Yan Emperor, but he will not be convicted for his collection. He knows very well that the real reason for his colleagues' anger is that he has used public power without authorization.

They don’t like being represented.

Furthermore, he did not discuss the benefits with them before using this power.

They don't like to be involved in trouble unnecessarily.

Reporter Kane was seeking revenge for the humiliation he had suffered in the last meeting. Amar had expected this, but he did not expect the situation to change so quickly and Kane's revenge to be so fierce. He did not want to retaliate and embarrass himself, he wanted to completely destroy himself!

Emar suddenly realized that Kane was trying to establish his authority. He was the ambitious man who wanted to place himself above the joint meeting of directors of the Chamber of Commerce, but he cleverly disguised himself as a moralist and attracted fire.

But he had no chance to defend himself, and his excuses were futile. After knowing that the outcome was already decided, Amar relaxed and started to mock:

"You may think that it is a bit petty and ridiculous for me to spend so much effort and even take such a big risk to deal with a competitive knight!"

Ridiculous, I don't know if he is scolding the director in front of him or evaluating himself.

"You will understand me sooner or later. Even wild animals will use protective colors to cover themselves when hunting, but he only used such a simple disguise to make you believe that he is harmless. Only when he approaches you and shows his fangs, you will realize how foresighted I am in everything I did."

"You can't find the desire of that guy. He is always working and struggling, but he has no desires. How terrible it is for a person without desires!"

"What if his desire is the job itself?" asked the director.

"How can there be such a fool? What can the job bring him? What we pursue is the things behind the work. As long as we don't figure out what it is, he is not trustworthy."

"That's enough." Kane interrupted, "A man who abuses his power is talking about trust. Whether we trust him or not, you are the one who betrayed our trust."

He raised his hand and stated his purpose:

"I am now initiating a vote of no confidence in the directors of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals, Emaar, demanding that Emaar be expelled from the joint meeting of the Business Federation and that Rebirth Pharmaceuticals be included in the list of trustworthy companies for re-examination. Everyone, raise your hands."

It's not about voting, but about raising your hands. It's concise and to the point. It's not a question, but an order.

Amar looked at everyone, and they all raised their hands, because this was in the interests of all of them. Amar fell, and Rebirth Pharmaceuticals was weakened, which was a huge cake.

No one would think about what the Business Association would become if, in the future, they got used to the process of raising hands, then clapping, and finally cheering.

"The birth of a [business empire]?"

Aimar thought so and walked out of the conference room with a sneer.

The heavy sound of the door closing was heard, and Kane turned around. The satisfied look on his face had faded, and he suggested:

"Well, it's time for us to continue talking about the special tournament. Who do you think is more suitable for Knight Roy's next opponent?"

"The Left-Handed Knight." The sponsor of the Knights of the Blade Helmets, the chairman of the Leiden Department Store, said, "It's time to teach him a lesson."

Someone asked, "He has defeated the Candle Knight before. What if the Left Hand Knight loses?"

He just answered confidently:

"It doesn't matter. I'll open the market."

Having given away so much profit, we should make some back anyway.

Volume 16: Chapter : Reaching the Top is a Success

"Roy, are you really okay?"

Viviana asked worriedly as she sat beside the bed and peeled an apple.

The poisoning incident raised Roy's popularity in Casimir to a higher level, but it also caused Roy to miss the originally scheduled match against the Corrupted Blight Knight. If Roy's superb performance in the early points race and the subsequent doubles match was not too eye-catching, and he accumulated enough points, just missing this match might have made him lose the qualification to enter the knockout round. Now, Roy, who has successfully advanced, will start his first match in the knockout round tomorrow.
