"Okay, let's go to the amusement park in the afternoon. That's fine."

After hanging up the phone and putting down the communicator, Roya leaned on the table with one hand on his chin. Although he couldn't see, he was still facing Arturo, who was sitting opposite him and admitting his mistakes honestly. An invisible pressure dissipated in the air, making Arturo subconsciously feel that his breathing was a little difficult.

"Do you know why I came to you?"

Although Luo Ya was somewhat unhappy about what happened last night, he was not going to start a fight and blame him right away. What happened last night was not serious enough to that extent.

"I was wrong."

Arturo restrained her usual smile and honestly admitted her mistake. She made a gesture because she knew that Roya would come to her this morning to question her.

"You are quite self-aware." Roya reached out and pinched Arturo's face. "Didn't I tell you that you can only play my emotions? You almost made it impossible for me to finish last night."

It should be said that Arturo's face pinching was somewhat addictive, but Roya came to her mainly to talk about what happened last night, not to play.

"I'm sorry, do you need me to show my belly to apologize?"

"Where did you learn this weird way of apologizing? Are you really apologizing?"

Luo Ya rubbed his brows, wondering if there was a big difference between this girl before and after.

Of course, Arturo would not say that she learned all this on the Internet when she was free, but she also felt a little aggrieved.

"But I saw Miss Hongxue was in a good mood this morning, and so were you."

"cough……"

Roya felt somewhat embarrassed when talking about this matter. Last night, due to Arturo's instigation, Hongxue confessed all her feelings, and he couldn't suppress his emotions. Originally, that would have been fine, but the problem was that after he told Hongxue about his experience with Victoria, Hongxue was obviously jealous of Abrana. She was very jealous of Abrana, so Roya had to spend some effort and time to coax her. Although he didn't do the last step, he could only say that he knew most of the rest.

So Hong Xue didn't leave Luo Ya's room last night, and this morning she helped him wash his face, comb his hair, change his clothes, etc. She was in a much better mood than before.

It was impossible to say that Roya was not secretly happy, but in order to prevent more and more such incidents, he had to clarify things with Arturo first. However, he soon realized that this might not be just Arturo's idea.

"Instigated by Ghost Shark?"

"Not only that, her other lover Miss Glaurentina also thinks I should do this, but I asked Miss Hongxue for her opinion and got her permission."

In other words, Arturo did not play without permission last night. Although she went against what Luoya said, she had obtained Hongxue's permission. This made Luoya not know what to say to her.

Seeing that Roya had fallen silent, Arturo turned back to look at his cello placed in the corner.

"Actually, I envy Miss Hongxue."

"Envy her?"

"When I told her that the emotions that a concert would evoke depended on the individual's heart, so I couldn't control her thoughts, and neither could she."

Arturo gently grabbed Roya's hand, as if he was back to last night, when the half-drunk Hongxue still maintained her rationality and begged her to play once. When she heard that this would arouse all the emotions in her heart, Hongxue smiled so refreshingly.

"She said that her only love is for you. I also want to admit my feelings for you openly like her, but unfortunately I can't."

"…Didn't you say it all?"

Roya did not take his hand back. He understood Hongxue and Viviana's feelings for him, but Arturo was different. Before she met Roya, she was bound by the past and could not get over the funeral. She had always existed only as a mirror of emotions and the inner world of others.

Roya gave part of his feelings to Arturo. This kind of devotion could not be repaid with just a few words. The repeated heart-to-heart talks made her gradually immersed in it. In this short period of time, she fell in love with being with Roya.

Arturo's attitude towards Roya became somewhat respectful again, but this was just a personal habit. She was very surprised by Roya's attitude.

"I thought you would reject my idea right away and tell me not to think too much about it."

"If it was before last night, then I would have said that. After all, I already have someone I love and I don't want to be emotionally entangled with anyone else. But Avdoka told me that this is impossible and a futile escape."

Some things will not disappear just because you close your eyes. What Roya needs to face is not only Hongxue, but also Frost Star and Tallulah's feelings for him, as well as Arturo and Viviana. He wonders if the girl next to him can't just be friends with him like Skadi?

"So you're going to reject me?"

"Will you accept my rejection?"

Roya's question was met with a shake of the head by Arturo, who put on that gentle smile again and had an unusual cunning look in her eyes.

"You broke into my heart without permission, untied my knot, gave me feelings, and pointed out the way forward for me. Are you going to reject my feelings?"

"Since you don't want to accept it, why should I do anything unnecessary?" Luo Ya flicked his tail casually, "It's just... it's too fast. I always thought that falling in love with someone is a very long process."

Luo Ya thought about it carefully and found that among all his female friends, the one who took the longest time to like him was Lin Yuxia, who took half a year, followed by Ablana, who took almost half a month, and the others' favorability levels soared.

"That's because most people who like each other need to get to know each other a little bit, but you can always see through a person easily and help them without reservation. This is a rare quality in this land, and it's only natural that you're liked by others."

"You really think highly of me."

I have to admit that Roya felt a little embarrassed by what Arturo said. He didn't think he was so honest and kind. Although he seemed to have done a lot of things, these things were all for his own benefit. He helped Abrana in order to rescue Rosemary, helped Tallulah because he didn't want her to threaten Abrana's position, helped Viviana because he wanted to get close to her, and helped Arturo to open up his heart so that his plan wouldn't be affected.

But in Arturo's eyes, no matter what Roya's original purpose was, she was indeed redeemed and she should give back to Roya. It was under such circumstances that feelings sprouted. She thought that Hongxue and Viviana were probably the same.

"If you don't refuse, can I take it as your tacit consent?"

"I didn't say that." Luo Ya rubbed his brows, "I still think... give me more time. If you spend more time with me, maybe you won't like me anymore. As for now, we should do some serious work."

Arturo understood what Roya meant. It was not that he didn't want to accept these feelings, but that he didn't want to let them down. So not only did he need time to think, he also hoped that Arturo could seriously consider it.

But putting all his personal feelings aside for the moment, Luo Ya had to prepare to go to the appointment. Bai Jin invited him to dinner... Haha, he believed that Bai Jin had no ill intentions, but he did not believe in the Wu Zhou Alliance.

"Notify Tolan for me. Move forward the plan. Meet me tonight for the signal to take action."

"Yes."

Without asking Roya why he took action in advance, Arturo knew that he had his own plans. She only needed to be responsible for doing her job well and didn't need to worry about the rest.

Even though Arturo still didn't know what Roya's plan was, there was one thing she was sure of, and that was that tonight would become a day in Casimir's history that would never be forgotten.

Chapter 185 Big Events Are Coming

At the World Amusement Park, Luo Ya, who was sitting in a milk tea shop, nodded slightly after listening to Bai Jin's account of everything that had happened from last night to today.

"Really? That's to be expected. After all, you guys were a step slower. Didn't you go and arrest someone last night?"

"It's not that simple."

Bai Jin stirred her milk tea with a straw in frustration. She wanted to arrest people directly, but the Wu Zhou Alliance was just killers of the Chamber of Commerce. The size of their power depended on the degree to which the Chamber of Commerce was willing to delegate power, so it was impossible for them to have such priority in handling matters independently.

"After all, he is a distinguished guest of Leitania. Let alone arresting him, even if we want to conduct an investigation, we need to consult the board of directors first. Otherwise, it will cause a diplomatic incident.

"But the board of directors is not a monolithic entity, and the CSRC can't allow them to question foreign guests at will. We were already busy with the Knights' Tournament, and we kept passing the buck. As a result, I didn't get the inspection permit until after 7 a.m., and the person had already run away when I got there."

Such a result was not unexpected. Luo Ya had calculated that the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce would not dare to touch foreign guests. In addition, someone in the Securities Regulatory Commission tipped off Tolan and others, so such a situation was inevitable. However, Luo Ya could not say all of this, but changed the subject slightly.

"Then you didn't sleep all night?"

"Yeah, my eye bags have gotten a lot deeper, but luckily Xuan Tie said he will take care of this matter, so I don't have to worry."

Bai Jin did not feel any pressure when chatting with Luo Ya. Luo Ya was not as moody or arrogant as those high-ranking people she knew. The two of them could get along like ordinary friends. Most importantly, she did not have to worry about any bad consequences when complaining to Luo Ya.

"It's not surprising that Xuantie came forward since it concerns the future diplomacy of the two countries. Your mission should be the easiest in the Wuzhou League. I think I am a very kind and easy-going person."

"Really? I feel like I'm not here to monitor you, but to have fun with you."

Compared to Monique's heavy workload and Roy's need to monitor the dangerous target Mainna, Roya would not cause any trouble, so Bai Jin felt much less pressure. When she first received this task, she was worried for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be so easy. She could even discuss these issues with Roya openly.

Although the number of customers in the Great Knight Territory during the Knight Competition was four times that of before, no one in the milk tea shop heard the conversation between the two, or even noticed their existence. This ability made Platinum marvel.

"Hey Roya, why do you think those Leitanians kidnapped Viviana? What good will it do them?"

"Well... my guess is that it has something to do with the remnants of the Witch King in Leithania."

"The remnants of the Witch King?"

Speaking of the Witch King, even Platinum, who is not a Leithanian, has heard of the life of this tyrant who was hailed as the strongest warlock on Terra. Although the Witch King has been dead for many years now, in Leithania even mentioning his name will lead to an investigation, but it seems that there are indeed some followers of the Witch King still active, the so-called remnants of the Witch King.

"Letania is not doing well either. The twin queens... heh, they are still a little bit off."

Roya tapped his fingers on the table. Although he was trying to fool Platinum, the instability in Leitania was real. As early as when he was the chief secretary of Deep Pool, he had investigated the countries around Victoria and even the entire Terra.

"You mean, the people who came to watch the game this time were not officials from Leitania?"

Now Bai Jin finally realized that this group of people's target was Viviana from the beginning, and the so-called watching the game was just a cover. Seeing that she was so deceived, Luo Ya nodded slightly to indicate that she was not wrong.

"Didn't you hear it when you were monitoring? My friend is following over there, but he will definitely not connect with your Wuzhu Alliance."

This made Platinum a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected to keep the eavesdropping a secret from Roja, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately placed one of the eavesdropping devices in such an obvious place under the table. But then she realized a problem. Since Roja's people had been monitoring the Leitanians from the beginning, didn't that mean he knew Viviana's whereabouts from the beginning? This guy...

"I'm just too lazy to say anything. As long as nothing happens to Viviana, the fight between the Business Federation and the Supervisory Commission has nothing to do with me."

As if he had seen through Bai Jin's thoughts, Luo Ya calmly finished drinking the milk tea. It was obvious that he did know where Viviana was, and even the whole farce had not been hidden from him from the beginning.

But considering that he couldn't afford to offend him, even if the two of them looked like ordinary friends now, if he asked too many questions, it might make Luo Ya unhappy. Bai Jin could only puff up his cheeks and roll his eyes at him, because he couldn't see it anyway.

"So do you really enjoy seeing me make a fool of myself?"

When he thought about how he had been so busy in front of Roya about this matter, Platinum felt that he might even be able to star in a circus and go to Gotham to compete with Batman.

It would have been fine if Bai Jin hadn't said anything, but as soon as she said it, Luo Ya couldn't help laughing. In fact, Luo Ya had wanted to laugh since Bai Jin complained about being the scapegoat.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but when I thought about how you didn't notice even after I reminded you so much, I couldn't help it, hahaha."

This was really embarrassing. Bai Jin couldn't help but cover his face. Since Luo Ya had been very cooperative during this period and didn't give Wu Zhou League any trouble, they actually forgot about this matter.

"If you laugh again I'll leave!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh, okay? As an apology, I'll pay for today's expenses, okay?"

Although the competition had not officially started, as an upset contestant in the direct promotion competition, even if he did not get the compensation from the Business Federation, the prize money from that one game alone was enough for Luo Ya to buy a suite in this Knight's Territory and live a luxurious life for a few years. It was no wonder that those business knights flocked to the knight competition held every three years and risked being disabled to win the first place.

Seeing Luo Ya begging for mercy, Bai Jin naturally understood what it meant to quit while he was ahead, and then picked up the menu.

"That's better. Don't regret it. I'm going to make you broke today."

"Then I want to see how much you can eat."

Luo Ya put one hand on the table. Not to mention Platinum, even if Xiao Ke and Skadi were combined, they wouldn't be able to empty his wallet today. But it should have been arranged by now. He didn't know about Skadi. She had a natural personality. If something unexpected happened... But with her strength, she wouldn't get into trouble. What's more, there was Ghost Shark following her. When Ghost Shark was not crazy, he was also calculating in his mind.

As for Arturo and Hongxue, they should have met the man from Victoria by now. Unfortunately, Roya couldn't go to him in person to ask about the current situation of Aburana and Mandela, otherwise he could have made some adjustments to the internal situation in Victoria. However, he did write some things in the letter that he asked him to pass on to Aburana.

As for whether Ahmonie was one of the other Grand Duke's men who wanted to get close to him to get information, Roya was not worried that the letter would be leaked. It was a letter that only Draco could read, and Abrana would understand.

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

While Roya and Bai Jin were strolling around, Hong Xue and Arturo also shook off the spies of the No Helmet Alliance who were following them secretly, and came to the meeting place agreed with Ahmoni, a small, unknown restaurant, which was also the base that Zhuying had set up in the Great Knight's territory arranged by Roya.

When Hong Xue saw the person sitting at the table waiting for her, she inexplicably had some impression of this person. It was not like they had never met before.

"Ms. Ahmoni, this shouldn't be the first time we meet?"

"This lady has a good memory. We did meet once, but at that time I was not sure about Officer Luo Ya's identity, so I could not contact you directly."

Facing Hong Xue, Ahmoni tried hard to suppress her mocking smile. She didn't dare to say whether Hong Xue in front of her would have the same status as Mandela in the future, and with a Sakota following her, was Roya still planning to get in touch with Ratlan?

"I didn't expect you to be from Victoria."

Hong Xue sat behind Ahmoni with a natural expression, and Arturo stood beside her like a follower. Then, as Luo Ya said, he took a look around the entire restaurant. After making sure that no one here was his opponent, Arturo felt more relieved and did not feel that there were others ambushing in the dark.

Being with ridiculously strong people like Roya and Skadi for too long, Arturo almost forgot that his own strength was also top-notch. Although Ahmonie was not weak either, it was impossible for her to do anything in front of Arturo.

"I didn't expect to meet my immediate superior in a place like this, but it seems that Commander Luo Ya has no time to manage my side."

"That's right. Your rash contact almost disrupted his plan, but fortunately he doesn't intend to pursue it."

Hong Xue's words made Ahmoni feel relieved. What she feared most was actually meeting Roya himself or receiving a call from him. Nowadays, the most worrying thing for spies in Victoria is to receive an unknown call at an unknown time and then die worthlessly like dust. Roya's call was a real bad omen.

"Remember to pass this letter to Her Highness Abrana, but don't be too anxious. Wait until the storm has passed."

"Wind?"

Ahmonie quickly thought of the platinum beside Roya, and immediately realized that this was because Roya didn't want Casimir to interfere with Victoria for his plan, so Ahmonie had better go back after some time.

"Go to this location and wait at 8 o'clock tonight."

Hong Xue handed a note to Ahmoni, then stood up and prepared to leave. The spies from the Helmetless Alliance would be here soon, and it would be difficult to explain if someone found out that Victoria's VIP had contact with Roya's people.

Understanding this, Ahmoni put away the letters and notes and prepared to leave through the back door later, while Hongxue and Arturo walked out the door.

After making sure that she was not being targeted and did not have to worry about being overheard, Hong Xue glanced at Arturo.

"How did she react?"

"When she mentioned Roya, there was a sense of fear and awe, as well as a bit of anticipation. Well, it's hard to imagine what Roya is like in her eyes."

Arturo was talking about Ahmoni, of course. Roya specifically asked her to follow Hongxue not just for safety reasons, but also to confirm whether the other party was from Shenchi.

"Awe?" Hong Xue thought of what Luo Ya had done in Victoria. "This reaction shouldn't happen to one of our own. There's something wrong with her."

"Most likely, but Roya said that the letter will not be leaked, so just give it to the other party. Let's continue to do the next task."
