Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

The Supervisory Commission announced that it would formally launch an investigation into the disappearance of the No-Hero Alliance and the Candlelight Knights.

The bread in her mouth fell to the ground. Miss Bai Jin glanced at her communicator and wondered why no one informed her of such a big thing last night? What was the mastermind behind the scenes suspected to be the White Gold Leader of the Wu Zhou Alliance? How come she didn't know that she had done this? Did she sleepwalk last night? ?

Just when Miss Bai Jin was at a loss as to what to do, her communicator rang at the right time. Without thinking, she picked up the communicator and answered it. The voice she heard from the other end was the familiar Roy's annoying voice.

"You are quite capable, Little Platinum. You even dared to kidnap the adopted daughter of the Grand Knight Commander. Are you so bold?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" It was rare for Bai Jin to speak directly to Roy in such a tough tone. "What on earth is going on? Why do I feel like the world has changed since I woke up?"

"You must have seen the news. After you separated yesterday, Miss Viviana, who was highly regarded by the directors of the Business Federation, disappeared. She did not return home that night, and you, the Platinum Master of the No Helmet Alliance, were the last person to see her."

"I *Casimir swears* this is slander, isn't there still Roya?"

Yes, Bai Jin admitted that she and Viviana did not separate until the afternoon yesterday, but the problem was that Luo Ya was also there. Her mission was to get close to Luo Ya, not to kidnap Viviana. How could she go to such a troublesome time to do such a thing?

"But he can't even see, let alone the inconvenience of movement. He is an old friend of Cyril. There is no reason for him to do this."

"I have no reason."

The pot is thrown out of the pot when you are at home. Bai Jin is confused now. She thinks that although she and Viviana were a little competitive yesterday and she is a little annoyed by the intimacy between Viviana and Luo Ya, it is impossible for her to kidnap people. What's more, Viviana is quite powerful. What can she, the Queen of Bai Jin, accomplish by herself?

Roy understood this even without Platinum saying it. Platinum might not be loyal to the No-Hero Alliance, but he did not have the courage to betray it.

"Of course we know it wasn't you, but that Candlelight Knight was the Grand Knight's beloved daughter after all. We found our Helmetless Alliance's special arrows at the scene of her disappearance, with Candlelight Knight's blood on them. This is really hard to explain. The Grand Knight went to the board's business building this morning to question us."

This was an obvious slander, anyone could see it, but so what? His Wu Zhou League had done so many bad things, not to mention that there was evidence against the Wu Zhou League left at the scene. Ioletta could not say anything about her unless she chopped the building of the Commerce Federation apart with her sword, let alone go to the building of the Commerce Federation to question her.

"The results of it?"

"Don't worry, the Grand Knight Commander just wants to ask the Helmetless Alliance for an explanation and take the opportunity to suppress the Business Federation before the Knights' Tournament. I even suspect that the disappearance of the Candlelight Knight was a drama staged by the Supervisory Commission."

Roy was not the only one who had such speculation. It could even be said that there were people in the entire Business Federation who thought so. Although the fact that Viviana was Ioletta's adopted daughter could not be made public, as long as one reached a certain level of status, some things would naturally be known. This year's knight competition was of great importance. Everyone was paying attention to who would have the initiative in implementing the infected knight strategy in the future. The overt and covert struggles between the Business Federation and the Supervisory Commission had never stopped. It was reasonable for the Supervisory Commission to use the Viviana incident as an excuse to make trouble.

Or this is the most likely truth. Platinum subconsciously agreed with Roy's guess. Now is the critical moment. If the Business Alliance loses the initiative in the matter of the Infected Knights because of Viviana's incident, then the Helmetless Alliance will definitely be held responsible, and she, Platinum, will be the one who bears the biggest blame.

This made her subconsciously think of Luo Ya. A thought flashed through her mind subconsciously. If staying in the Wu Zhou League would only mean death or a tragic death, then why not find someone who can protect her to join? She was just not sure how strong Luo Ya was. As for doubting Luo Ya...

"Of course they don't suspect me."

On the sofa in the Casimir Hotel, Luo Ya gently stroked the hair of the ghost shark lying on his thighs, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and he didn't care about the concerns raised by Hong Xue.

"I am just a person who came back to visit and say farewell to an old friend. I am neither a member of the Business Federation nor a member of the Securities Regulatory Commission. There is no clear conflict of interest between me and either of them. In their eyes, I have no motive to do this.

"Besides, I'm already blind and my movements are restricted, so it's impossible for me to capture Viviana so easily. Not to mention that the Knights' Tournament will open in less than a week. The Supervisory Commission and the Business Federation will only use this incident as a fuse to fight for power more fiercely. As for Viviana's whereabouts... Ha, they won't really care."

Luo Ya picked up the tea and took a sip. Because Ghost Shark had fallen asleep, he deliberately lowered the volume. This girl could only sleep soundly when she was next to Luo Ya. Luo Ya could only take time out every day to make a pillow for her.

Hong Xue nodded. No wonder Viviana's disappearance caused such a significant effect. In fact, neither Viviana nor the No-Hero Alliance were important. The essence of this matter was still the struggle for interests between the Supervisory Commission and the Chamber of Commerce behind them. Viviana's disappearance was just a fuse.

"Won't the people from the Wuzhou League find out?"

"That would require them to have the time to investigate."

When Luo Ya mentioned this, his smile gradually faded, as if he remembered something not so happy.

"It's the eve of the Knights' Tournament. In three days, the four cities will unite. The Helmetless Alliance will have to assign a lot of people to monitor the movements in various places. Platinum will monitor me, Qingjin Roy will monitor Maenna, and Monique will be responsible for managing the secret order in the city. The Helmetless Alliance does not have the manpower to investigate this matter. As for Xuantie... he dare not appear in this city, or in other words, he dare not appear in front of me."

Seeing Luo Ya's unhappy face, Hong Xue remembered that he said Xuan Tie was once his student. With Luo Ya's personality, Xuan Tie must not have been the notorious and chilling killer leader he is today. It was really hard for Luo Ya to be happy that the student he personally taught had become like this.

Thinking about this, Hong Xue realized that Luo Ya had probably started planning these things before entering the city. He deliberately waited until this most critical juncture to take action, making Viviana's disappearance the best excuse for the Supervisory Commission to attack. Although in the eyes of most people, Viviana's disappearance was nothing strange, the undercurrent behind the scenes was much greater than before.

"Then what about the Grand Knight Commander? She wouldn't care about this matter, would she? I can see that she really treats Viviana as her own daughter."

Thinking of Ioletta, Hongxue didn't think that the Grand Knight would ignore the disappearance of his adopted daughter, nor would he just see the etiquette of the Supervisory Committee. Her intuition told her that Ioletta was not that kind of person.

"Of course she won't care. Ha, do you think she doesn't know what we want to do?"

"You mean she knew about our plan?"

Seeing Luo Ya nodding with a smile, Hong Xue felt that she could not keep up with his thoughts for a moment. At least she could understand some things just now, but now she felt that her head was full of confusion.

Luo Ya knew that what he said might be a bit shocking to Hong Xue, so he explained it to her.

"Of course she knew that the letter Tolland intercepted was from Casimir to Letania, and that the letter was delivered by a knight from the Overwatch Council. Without the Council's tacit approval, how could he have disguised himself as Letania's representative and sneaked in? It's obvious that he has reached a cooperation with some people from the Overwatch Council.

"Since it was a collaboration with the Supervisory Commission, how could it have escaped Ioletta's eyes? She certainly knew that Viviana was taken away by Tolan, and she also knew that Viviana would be fine. And she certainly had to play the role of exerting pressure, so the people from the Business Federation were not wrong to guess that Viviana's disappearance was a self-directed and self-acted incident."

This was a tacit understanding reached without prior discussion. Luo Ya created an opportunity for the Supervisory Commission to put pressure on the Chamber of Commerce, and the Supervisory Commission diverted the attention of the Chamber of Commerce and the Wu Zhou Alliance in the struggle for interests, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of. It was a win-win situation.

However, Ioletta didn't know from the beginning to the end that the person she was cooperating with was not Tolan but Roya, nor did she know Roya's real purpose. He extricated himself from this incident, but if he really wanted to clear himself completely, he would have to wait and see what happened next.

Calculating the time, Miss Platinum should be coming to find him. Although gossip said that Lord Platinum kidnapped Viviana, most people have never even heard of the No-Horn Alliance, let alone know what Lord Platinum looks like. It is impossible for the No-Horn Alliance to make Platinum disappear temporarily for this matter. If that happens, there will be no one to restrict and monitor Roya's actions.

Arturo and Skadi were just listening in. The former completely understood Roya's entire plan, while the latter didn't understand anything. Anyway, Roya had told Skadi at the very beginning that she would just go wherever he pointed at her, and the simple-minded Miss Killer Whale didn't need to listen to any other conspiracies or calculations. She was only curious about one thing now.

"Is it really comfortable to sleep like this?"

Looking at the ghost shark resting its head on Roya's thigh with a completely peaceful sleeping beauty posture, Skadi couldn't help but ask this question, and Roya also felt that Hongxue and Arturo also cast curious glances at him, and it was obvious that they also wanted to know how it felt.

"Well... I don't know what Ghost Shark thinks, but I feel uncomfortable anyway."

Luo Ya pointed at his thigh, and the smile on his face was no longer as relaxed as before.

"She's been sleeping for almost four hours. I feel like my legs are going numb and I'm losing feeling."

Having said that, the three girls then used the other thigh as a pillow and tried it one by one for a while, and then they came to the same conclusion: it felt like it could be done a few more times.

Chapter 178 Ahmoni's Little Thoughts

Today was a terrible day for Miss Platinum. First, she found out early in the morning that there was a huge black pot on her head. Then, she had to worry about whether she would become a victim of the Wuzhou League in the subsequent struggle between the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Commission. As a result, she came to see Luo Ya with a heavy heart.

Of course, Roya could sense Platinum's depression, and thought to himself that Tolan was really good at playing games. That guy knew very well that Platinum was just a pawn for the No-Hero Alliance, and was not worth keeping compared to the two Qingjins. If a crisis really came, he would end up like a gecko's tail. It was only right to choose Platinum to take the blame.

"Miss Platinum, are you bothered by this morning's news?"

Although he knew all this was planned, Luo Ya still pretended to ask in confusion. In fact, if there was anything unexpected, it was that no one seemed to have linked Viviana's disappearance to him. No one even asked him, who was also the last person to meet Viviana.

Bai Jin sat depressedly on a bench eating the vegetable burrito she had just bought. Fortunately, most people did not know about the existence of the Wu Zhou Alliance, and her position as Bai Jin was not a household name, otherwise a group of people might be casting strange looks at her right now.

"Yes, after all, it's hard to be happy with such a big black pot."

"I think this incident has nothing to do with Miss Platinum. After all, even a blind person like me can see that this is just a frame-up."

Luo Ya just smiled and didn't analyze it further. After all, he would have to pretend to be the mastermind for a while. He just felt that the resentment in Bai Jin was really great.

In response to Luo Ya's words, Bai Jin could only say that she was really grateful that he would not have such a misunderstanding, but she really didn't think that Luo Ya could help her with this matter.

"But sometimes the truth is not something that is worth paying attention to. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Business Federation only need an excuse to suppress each other, and most of the Casimirs just want to get some after-dinner gossip. They don't care what the truth is, or... they have been numb since a long time ago."

The truth? The truth is the least important thing in this country. The channels of public opinion are firmly in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce and the Securities Regulatory Commission. What people see and hear are what the Chamber of Commerce wants them to see. They use this false information to influence others' vision and hearing, thereby confusing the truth and falsehood and reversing right and wrong. As long as this city is still running, such things will always happen.

Moreover, Bai Jin could see that the Wu Zhou Alliance actually didn't care about her at all, otherwise why would the Business Federation allow those news to be released? It was nothing more than a show for the Supervisory Commission. From beginning to end, no one cared about her thoughts as the scapegoat.

"Platinum... well, Miss Xintelaiya should be very young. The fact that you can become a platinum at this age proves that you are indeed talented. But the No Hero Alliance doesn't seem to care about you very much?"

This was very heartbreaking, but Luo Ya did not say anything wrong. Bai Jin could only nod depressedly to show that he was right. She rarely felt that this man, who was closely related to the throne of Xuantie, was a suitable person to confide in. Who did she talk to last time she was unhappy? It seemed that she was complaining to her family on the phone about the darkness of the Business Federation.

"Do you know how I became the Platinum Lord?"

"Appreciate further details."

Luo Ya pretended to be a listener. Although today was his first match in the Knights Tournament, it would not start for more than an hour, so he still had plenty of time.

"I was born into a traditional knight family. My ancestors have always been famous for their excellent archery skills, so I also dreamed of becoming a knight. Then I came to the Great Knight Territory, hoping to stand out in the competition and have my own title."

"But the water in Casimir is very deep. I, a foolish girl who knows nothing, struggled here and almost drowned. My game was full of manipulation by various black hands, so I waited for so long but couldn't make it.

"In the last match of my knight career, I was asked to lose to my opponent on purpose, but he ignored my surrender and wanted to kill me... so I killed him too. That was my first mission after becoming a member of the No-Horn Alliance. I haven't told my family yet that their daughter, who they had high hopes for, has become a member of the No-Horn Alliance's Black Glove."

It seemed that the wind was a little cold today, and Bai Jin could not help but wrap her clothes tightly. The clothes of the Helmetless Alliance were all specially made lightweight clothes, which were tough and resistant to puncture and chopping while also having considerable warmth retention function. However, she still felt cold, just like the day when she learned that she would never be able to make a comeback.

For this reason, Platinum was actually jealous of Viviana, who had been given the title of Candlelight Knight by the public before she officially participated in the competition, but she knew that Viviana was indeed much more powerful than herself.

"A pretty boring thing, isn't it?"

"It's not boring. I can tell you worked hard, but at least you made it to the Platinum rank."

This should have been a compliment, but Bai Jin couldn't help but droop his ears, feeling indescribably sad.

"What's the use of becoming a Platinum? You can still be summoned and dismissed at will. You are not as irreplaceable as the Blue Gold, nor do you have the freedom like the ordinary members below."

Sadness, helplessness, and even more fear filled Bai Jin's consciousness. Of course, she regretted joining the Wuzhou League, but now that she had joined, it was not so easy to get out. If she dared to betray this morning, she would die in an unknown corner in the afternoon. She was not strong enough to fight against the Wuzhou League on her own.

"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Ya gently comforted Bai Jin, "Don't think too much for now. It's better to eat something first. I will need your help to lead the way to the Howling Arena later."

There was really no need to bring up this kind of thing, but Bai Jin felt much better after she said it. In fact, she wanted to talk to Luo Ya about some of her troubles at work, such as Qing Jin giving her things to do all day long without paying overtime, and she had never even met Xuan Tie after so many years in the industry.

But after thinking about it, Bai Jin realized that he and Roya were not that familiar with each other, so why should he tell him so much? He should just do his own thing honestly and hope that the Candlelight Knight Viviana would be found as soon as possible.

Luo Ya didn't have the time to ask about other people's affairs. He calculated that the time was almost up and thought it was time to set off.

"The game starts in exactly one hour, let's go."

"How did you know?"

Bai Jin glanced at the watch on his wrist. The hour and minute hands overlapped at six o'clock in the afternoon. At seven o'clock, Roya's game would start.

"It's not that hard to distract yourself and count numbers. Let's go."

Luo Ya stood up, picked up the sword on the bench and prepared to leave. Today's knight competition was not ordinary. According to the rules of the knight competition, all participating knights needed to participate in various small preliminaries before the competition to earn points for themselves. However, sometimes in order to take into account the ideas of some great knights, the organizers would specially set up a group melee competition to allow those capable knights to skip the tedious preliminaries and directly advance to the official competition.

This is the kind of competition that Roya is going to participate in this time, and there are several familiar faces among his other opponents, such as the Plastic Knight Sechiak, who he has met once before, Zofia who is from the side branch of the Linguang family, and the Blazing Axe Knight Dikaiopolis who is heavily packaged and promoted by the Commercial Federation. If Viviana had not been "kidnapped", she would definitely appear in the competition.

As for other Left-Handed Knights, White Maple Knights, and Rusted Bronze Knights, Roya didn't care. He was only thinking about how he could act more like a blind man while not losing the game.

"This competition will be very special. It requires all participating knights to keep fighting until only three people are left on the field. These three people can directly enter the official competition, but before that... as long as they can still stand up, all knights cannot stop fighting. Even if they fall down, they will be treated urgently and sent back to the battlefield."

Bai Jin kindly reminded Roya that most independent knights like Roya would suffer the most in such a competition because they did not have the support of a large knight order or a large enterprise, and basically had no chance of coming back, not to mention that losing his eyesight would definitely affect Roya's combat effectiveness.

"I know. The Business Federation has agreed to my three conditions. It would be bad if I don't show some sincerity."

He flicked the hilt of the sword lightly with his fingers. He had never used the sword properly since he got it. Although he could not use the Chixiao sword technique, it was not a problem for him to use a few moves.

Since the Business Federation was willing to sponsor their integration movement, Roya would not be polite. The three conditions could be postponed, but the money had to be obtained first. Moreover, Roya had emphasized that he only wanted red gold and source stone ingots, so there was no need to worry about being tricked.

Three conditions. Bai Jin glanced at Roya, somewhat curious about what Roya's three conditions would be. On the other hand, the Business Federation also put a lot of effort into this competition.

The strategy of the Infected Knights is an inevitable stage in the development of the Casimir Knight Tournament. The fighting of the Infected Knights can more easily lower the bottom line and is easier to manipulate. The Chamber of Commerce can gain a lot of benefits from it, and the Supervisory Commission can naturally take the opportunity to develop. However, the most difficult part of the restriction is how to make the public accept the Infected Knights joining the competition. For this reason, the special case of the Blazing Axe Knight Dikaiopolis is needed.

Looking at the list of contestants today, spokesperson McGee felt uneasy and looked at Charne, who was also a spokesperson beside him.

"Mr. Charney, is that Blazing Axe Knight really confident that he can win today's competition?"

Although Dikaiopolis' strength has been well demonstrated in the previous competitions, there are also many players who have achieved excellent results in the competition today, and there are even strong men with single-word titles such as the Wind Knight. You must know that in Casimir, a single-word title is a proof of strength, and there are less than ten people in the entire Great Knight Territory who have the strength of a single-word title.

Charne waved his hand casually and stood in the VIP box looking at the cleared competition venue. The contestants had not arrived yet, but many spectators had already arrived at the venue and were discussing the highlights of this competition. Many people came for the Wind Knight and the Left-Hand Knight, but some also wanted to see the Blazing Axe Knight who was touted by the Chamber of Commerce.

"Don't worry. We have already discussed with Wind Knight Carl Wendi that he will not cause much pressure to Dikaiopolis. It is you, McGee, who should focus more on your work. Don't you realize who is the most important person on this list of contestants?"

After hearing what Charne said, McGee took another look at the entry form and saw Roya's name in an inconspicuous corner.

He didn't know much about Roya McGee. He only knew that he was valued by the Chamber of Commerce during this period. The only time they met was when he visited the Lin Guang family. At that time, Roya left a deep impression on him. There were very few people in Casimir who could make the Grand Knight show that kind of expression.

"Could it be that the Wind Knight was arranged to participate in the competition this time just for him?"

"Let a titled knight test the other party. It seems that the people above are also very anxious. The disappearance of Miss Viviana is not a simple accident. McGee, take a closer look at other things behind the incident. At the same time, as a colleague, I need to remind you that there is no possibility between you and her."

McGee did not answer Charne, but he felt unspeakable bitterness in his heart. He did have a longing love for Viviana, but Viviana could not be with him. After all, this was his wishful thinking.

After saying this, Charne turned around and left his private room. He had to find Ahmonie to personally apologize for not being able to keep the appointment. Today's game was called another form of championship, and the distinguished guests from various countries were very interested.

For example, Ahmoni, originally she had little interest in this competition. She was only thinking about how to contact Roya without alerting the Chamber of Commerce. Until she saw the familiar name on the list, she felt it was necessary to take a look.

"If he wants to participate in the competition, then there is no way Luo Ya will not take action. Then perhaps his identity can be confirmed."

Ahmoni murmured to herself, but she couldn't tell in her heart whether she hoped the other party was Roya or not. As a double agent, she often faces this kind of self-doubt and can't even tell which side she should stand on.

However, there is an indescribable expectation for Roya Ahmoni. If he can create the current balanced situation in Victoria, then... can he really give Victoria, who has been ill for a long time and is difficult to cure, a chance for new life?

Chapter 179: Luo Ya: The other side dares to fight back

In the evening of the Great Knight's Territory, ticket checking stopped at 6:50. Hong Xue, Skadi and others arrived at the arena, which was the size of four regular football fields and could accommodate nearly 10,000 people, on time, and found the consecutive seat tickets given by the Chamber of Commerce.

Originally, the Chamber of Commerce was planning to give them a VIP seat, but because there were too many VIPs coming to watch the game today, after some further inquiry, they provided the four of them with regular tickets with good seats as requested by Hong Xue. Before the game started, the host's loud voice had already begun to stir up the emotions of the audience.

"Dear audience! Welcome to the Howling Arena! Today can definitely be said to be your happiest day. Elite knights from all over Casimir have gathered here. Not only is there the famous Wind Knight, but also the proud and powerful Left-Hand Knight, and... the role model of the Infected Knight that we have been waiting for! The Blazing Axe Knight Dikaiopolis!"
