Then, all you need to do is fire the light beam at the target location.

The accelerated, heated particle stream directly annihilated and melted the Xuan Tie Dawei along with the building they were in.

No one can withstand the power emanating from the stars.

All three died peacefully.

Finally, in addition to the plasma cannon, Bai Ye developed a second high-damage spell with direct destructive power. Compared to summoning wind and rain, this attack method can be described as simple and brutal, and it can strike beyond visual range without needing to be manually activated like the plasma cannon.

……

"Well--"

As the two were talking, Hinterlea, the former Platinum-ranked leader of the Unarmored Alliance, slowly woke up.

Just as Bai Ye and Swire were talking, the white-haired Kuranta girl finally couldn't hold on any longer. She was so exhausted that she couldn't even stand up straight and leaned on Swire before fainting.

Fortunately, although Miss Swire looks rather slender, and she has been helping Bai Ye with business matters recently, she is not wearing a smart uniform, and her overall style leans towards a "delicate" feel.

However, this guy is indeed a senior superintendent of the Lungmen Guard Bureau. Because Chen Huijie took office as the director of the Guard Bureau, the position of head of the Special Inspectorate fell to Swire.

With her skills, supporting the slender platinum figure would be no problem at all.

Seeing that Hinterlea had woken up, Swire put her down.

"Drink?"

Bai Ye took out a nutrient solution from his inventory and handed it to Bai Jin. This was originally intended for Melantha; he had many such potions in his inventory.

The nutrient solution, once prepared, looks somewhat like bagged soy milk because these bags were purchased in Lungmen and are lighter and more convenient than bottles.

The girl silently reached out and took the bag, opened the lid, and gulped down the contents. She hadn't had a drop of water since the start of her escape. She dared not drink, dared not eat, fearing the food she had bought might be a trap set by the Unarmored Alliance. She also dared not close her eyes, fearing she would die in her dreams.

"Why……"

Hinterlea silently drank the nutrient solution, then suddenly asked a question.

"Why what?" Bai Ye was puzzled. Such a seemingly random question was truly perplexing.

"Why did you save me..." Hinterlea looked up at Bai Ye.

It's true, but judging from his appearance, this guy really does look like a gentle scholar. It's hard to imagine that Xuan Tie, who has lived for more than half a century, would die at his hands like this.

Bai Jin knew that Bai Ye's initial intention was indeed only to rescue her from Qing Jin's clutches. If Xuan Tie hadn't intervened, none of the subsequent events would have occurred. The destruction of the Wu Zhou Alliance was merely due to the reckless Xuan Tie's firing of an arrow.

In other words, Bai Ye was only trying to save her at the beginning.

……

"It was just a side trip. I happened to need someone who knew a lot about the Wuzhan Alliance to get information about the organization, and then I ran into you, the defector, on the way. Isn't this a pretty good opportunity?" Bai Ye replied with a smile.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Swire ruthlessly exposed his lie:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. This guy is always like this. Even if he helps others, he is unwilling to admit it frankly. He always makes up some seemingly reasonable reasons to cover up his true thoughts."

"He's exactly like Ah Chen, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted... No, maybe he's even more outrageous than Ah Chen."

"In short, he's just being stubborn."

……

"..."

Swire's words silenced Bai Ye, who had been speaking eloquently, and he suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Bai Ye standing there in a daze, Bai Jin couldn't help but chuckle.

“You are not suited to stay in Kazimierz at all…” Platinum said softly. “Someone like you, without great power, would be eaten alive here, leaving not even bone fragments.”

"Unfortunately, I am very strong." Bai Ye put his hands in his pockets and smiled lightly. "Although they see me as a thorn in their side, they have no choice but to cooperate with me because they want to obtain things from me but also want to plunder them directly. In the end, they can only obediently sit back at the round table to negotiate."

"I love seeing these people want to kill me but can't do anything about it."

"You really have a wicked sense of humor," Platinum said, stretching.

She looked down at her body with some confusion.

My stomach feels warm.

Power was surging continuously from the abdomen and slowly flowing to every corner of the body.

The fatigue I had accumulated was slowly recovering, and I felt more energetic.

"What did I just drink?" Hinterlea asked, puzzled.

"Nutritional supplement, how is it? Not bad, right?"

"...Could I have another bag?"

Chapter Thirty-Six: Mule and Horse Holiday

"Why did you suddenly choose to run away at this time?" Bai Ye asked curiously.

Platinum swallowed the drink in her mouth, then explained softly:

"The board of directors of the Business Federation is in chaos. Whoever can control the Unarmored Alliance has an overwhelming advantage. No director dares to openly manipulate the Unarmored Alliance, nor does anyone dare to let others do so."

"And that's why their mutual obstruction caused them to lose control of the Unarmored Alliance. In fact, they no longer even know the name or whereabouts of the leader of the assassin organization they hired."

"Now, Xuan Tie is preparing to cut off all informants and directors who have direct contact with the Wuzhou Alliance, and then change his identity and enter the Business Federation as a director."

"These are what the two Azure Gold Grandmasters told me. Knowing this, I have no other way out but to continue to obediently serve them. I might even be sent out to die as a scapegoat. So I think... I should run away."

Platinum's tone was flat.

Then she suddenly changed the subject:

"But I wish I hadn't run away. If they had sent me out to die, like to assassinate you or something—if I had fallen into your hands, I probably wouldn't have died, right?"

Bai Ye smiled:

"If you had aimed for my vitals last time, you would be dead already."

"Hmm..." Platinum blinked, unsure whether she should feel relieved or what kind of expression to make.

It sounds strange to talk about assassination to your savior.

"What are your plans for the future, Pegasus?"

Bai Ye looked at Hinterlea, who was drinking a nutrient solution, and asked.

"...Um, what are your plans?" Hintraya looked up at Bai Ye, asking with some confusion, "Don't I need to stay here and continue working? Hmm, in the Unarmored Alliance... oh, now it should be called, the Justice Realization Committee?"

"You actually heard me..." Swire rolled her eyes again at the mention of Hinterlea's name.

Yes, the young lady has never been satisfied with this name. Or rather, she has always disliked Bai Ye's taste in names.

Bai Ye ignored the frowning Miss Swire and slowly spoke, stroking his chin:

"Yes, I do have that idea, such as placing trustworthy and obedient people in the current Unarmored Alliance... However, you don't seem to really enjoy working here."

"..."

Bai Jin naturally agreed with Bai Ye's statement, but she dared not say it.

Because she didn't know what her new boss was thinking—although she now knew that her new boss was indeed a good person.

"If you don't say anything, does that mean you agree?" Bai Ye said as he walked.

"Does the new Unarmored Alliance... have holidays? Vacations or something?" Platinum asked cautiously.

Swire, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh.

“So your request is this humble… In his company, the number of holidays is almost twice that of the statutory holidays in Lungmen…” Swire laughed from the side.

Bai Ye looked at Bai Jin with some surprise:

"Don't you Unarmored Alliance members usually have holidays?"

"No, it's open all year round, because you never know when the terminal will suddenly ring, and then another call comes in..." Hinterlea slowly opened up.

Her tone was full of resentment.

“That’s really bad,” Bai Ye agreed.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

If you were to change jobs, where would you choose?

"Eh?"

Platinum was a little taken aback.

Bai Ye explained:

"What I mean is, since you're so tired of seeing the scenery of this Great Knight Territory that you feel like throwing up, why not change your workplace, find a slightly easier job, and then take a good rest?"

Platinum was somewhat bewildered.

She kept telling herself that she wanted to take a vacation and rest, but when that day actually came, she didn't know what to do.

Up to this point, her life has been pre-programmed.

Before joining the Unarmored Alliance, her options were limited: become a competitive knight in the Major, accumulate points, and earn a title—that was pretty much it.

As for those who joined the Unarmored Alliance, they were even busier and had no time to rest.

She was numb and had almost no time to think about the future, so when Bai Ye suddenly asked her about her future plans, she felt only confusion.

I want a vacation.

So what do you do during the holiday?

do not know……

"That's terrible." Bai Ye patted the girl's shoulder. "It's okay, if you can't think of it right now, you can think of it later."

After a moment's thought, Bai Ye took out a notebook from his pocket, tore off a piece of paper, wrote some secret words on it, and then took out a ring from his inventory along with the note and handed it to Hinterlea.

“Go to the core city of Chernobog. When you get there, a red-haired Rupert girl wearing a hood and mask will come to you. Show her the note and the ring, and she will understand and then make arrangements for you.”

Bai Ye gave the order in a commanding tone.

“…I understand.” Platinum knew she had no other choice.

However, leaving Kazimierz might not be a bad option.

Bai Ye said no, Hinterlaya has already gotten tired of the scenery here.

"Thank you."

Before leaving, Hinterlea bowed to White Night.

Bai Ye waved to her, then turned and left with Swire.

-------------------------------------

"call--"

Monique and Roy looked at each other, and both of them involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

Saved a life.

Roy felt that each White Night was more terrifying than the last. Although he smiled warmly, the pressure behind his smile was no joke.

The sense of oppression was far greater than that of the original three bosses.

"..." Roy silently raised his head and looked at the night sky.

"What's wrong?" Monique glanced at him.

"I never imagined that the second time I'd see Xuan Tie make a move would be the day their end would come," Roy sighed softly.

"The second time? When was the last time?"

"You haven't reached the Blue Gold rank yet... when the previous Platinum was executed."

At that time, the Platinum Master was Hintleya's mentor.

Roy looked up and recalled:

“It was raining that day. It was 4:47 PM. I was planning to go on a business trip to another city. At that time, I was the only one at Qingjin. Suddenly, I received a call saying that Baijin had defected and I had to deal with it immediately.”

"When we rushed to the scene, it was an unfinished building. The entire third floor was completely destroyed. The traitor... was nailed high up to a wall, a heavy iron arrow stuck in his chest. Bai Jin had tried to escape, but was pierced through the chest by that heavy arrow mid-air and pinned to the wall..."
