Reincarnated in another world, I also want to be invincible at the beginning

He turned on the stove and threw in everything that had to do with the Thin Knight.

Then he said kindly, "Shirley, come and talk to Dad."

Shirley poked her head out weakly.

There was a hint of fear and disbelief on her face.

If I hadn't seen with my own eyes the thin knight taking off his disguise.

She couldn't believe that the terrorist was her father.

"Shirley, Dad has no choice but to do this. You know that Dad is terminally ill. Dad did this for the sake of treatment. Dad doesn't want to die, and he can't let go of his lovely daughter, so he made a mistake. Shirley, as Dad's good daughter, should be able to understand Dad, right?"

Ruslan tried to convince his silly good daughter.

Because she still has value.

Although she and her mother were both stupid women.

But I have to say they are indeed geniuses.

Now that he has recovered his strength, he will soon regain his position as a Knight of the Round Table. He needs to form his own troops and laboratory, and Shirley's ability as a scholar can be of great help to him. This is one of the reasons why he restrained his men and did not allow them to kill hostages indiscriminately in the school. It was not only to absorb magic power, but also to avoid hurting Shirley. However, he did not expect that Shirley would accidentally see his true identity.

Even though he is usually so clumsy.

Why are you so smart this time?

Ruslan was a little unhappy.

It's like a perfect painting with an extra stroke accidentally added at the last minute.

His plan was perfect.

But now an accident occurred.

Shirley: “…”

She didn't know what to say.

Her father's kind face now looked like a devil in her eyes.

That smile that usually made her feel at ease now made her extremely scared.

She couldn't understand what her father said.

"Shirley, why aren't you talking?"

"Can't you really understand Dad?"

Ruslan narrowed his eyes.

Shirley trembled all over and opened her mouth.

She asked, "That was the Eye of Greed, right? Mom... Mom's research. Didn't Dad say... Mom said the Eye of Greed was too dangerous and had been handed over to the country?"

Ruslan opened his eyes when he heard the question.

Then he noticed what went wrong.

"Is that so, Shirley, what do you want to say?"

"I'm just taking back what's mine."

Shirley didn't say anything else, she just looked at her father sadly.

Although she was unwilling to believe it and even thought about whether she should just listen to her father's words, she could not forget the scene of her mother being killed that day.

Perhaps Ruslan had forgotten, or perhaps he simply didn't care.

He had said this on his own initiative in order to gain Shirley's trust.

Shirley's mother believed that the Eye of Greed was too dangerous and should be handed over to the country. Shirley's mother was killed because someone wanted to steal the Eye of Greed.

After that, Ruslan took the Eye of Greed and told Shirley that he would obey Shirley's mother's wishes and hand over this dangerous ancient artifact to the state for safekeeping. Shirley has always believed in this.

But now the Eye of Greed is in Ruslan's hands.

He used the power of the Eye of Greed to arrange this plan.

Although Shirley is a slow-witted woman, as a genius scholar, her IQ is not low. How could she not guess the truth? Moreover, the truth is not difficult to guess, because there was only her mother's body and her father standing there at the crime scene. The reason why Shirley never suspected that her adoptive father Ruslan was the murderer of her mother was because her mother and adoptive father had a good relationship, and because her adoptive father was seriously ill and could not even hold a sword, let alone kill people.

But when he saw Ruslan, he was the thin knight.

After seeing Ruslan holding the Eye of Greed in his hand.

See this truth.

If Shirley still can't guess the truth.

Then she wouldn't have the intelligence to be a scholar.

"Dad, you are the murderer who killed my mother."

When Ruslan heard this, the kind smile on his face turned into a sneer.

"Shirley, why do you think so? I am your dear father."

"Do not......"

Shirley shook her head.

She was no longer willing to acknowledge that Ruslan was her father.

Ruslan put away his smile and sighed helplessly.

Then he laid his cards on the table.

"Alas, it is indeed her daughter. They look exactly like each other. Yes, you are as stupid as your mother. Shirley, you made the same choice as your mother. Your mother was once the same as you. She insisted on doing something pointless and was unwilling to continue the research on the Eye of Greed. She even wanted to hand it over to the country. Because she was so ignorant, I brutally tortured her to death. It was me who discovered her talent and gave her funds for research. If it weren't for me, her talent would not have been discovered and she would have starved to death on the street long ago."

"You too, Shirley. If you pretend that you know nothing, I will continue to be your dear father, and you will still be your good daughter. Isn't that great? Why do you have to expose all this and know the truth? In this way, I can only let you know how your mother died. You really forced your father to make a cruel choice."

Ruslan drew his sword.

He wanted to kill Shirley just like he had killed her mother.

[Chapter 21: The Shadow Courtyard that Shocked the World]

Shirley stared at Ruslan with his sword raised, his eyes dull.

"Goodbye, my silly daughter."

Ruslan swung his sword down without hesitation.

"Qiang."

A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of the girl and swung his sword to block her adoptive father's attack.

"shadow!"

Ruslan's eyes widened.

He had an expression that said he had not expected anything like this, he thought his escape route was perfect, he never expected Shadow to suddenly appear, see through his identity, and see him trying to kill Shirley.

"How will you be here!?"

Ruslan shouted in disbelief:

"Did you see through it from the beginning!?"

Shadow said, "Maybe."

Although he just found out about it.

But Alpha and the others might have already found out the truth, otherwise they wouldn't have let New sneak into the academy in advance.

"Ruslan Barnett, it seems that this is the end of your life."

Shadow had no intention of leaving anyone alive.

Investigating intelligence should be the job of Alpha and the others. As a powerful shadow warrior, he should kill the target in a cool and handsome manner.

Ruslan couldn't help but take a few steps back after hearing Shadow's words, then he smiled calmly and said, "Is this really okay? Shadow. If you kill me here, no one will know the truth of this incident."

"Oh."

Shadow smiled.

"What do you want to say?"

Ruslan felt tremendous pressure from that man. Although he had now obtained the power of the Eye of Greed, there was still a huge gap between him and this man. Having seen the other's strength, he did not want to fight with this man because he would definitely not be able to defeat him.

"Shadow, I know you are strong, but even you can't fight the world alone, right?"

Shadow didn't answer.

He just motioned for Ruslan to continue.

Ruslan thought he was right, so he regained some composure and continued with a smile: "With your power, it won't be difficult for you to replace the cult and rule the other world. I can join you and separate the Shadow Court from this incident, and even help you get intelligence about the cult later. All I want is to stay alive."

"If you can't clarify the truth of this incident, it must be very difficult for you, right? You will be labeled as the worst and most terrifying terrorists in the world by the Kingdom of Midgar!"

"I see."

Shadow nodded.

Ruslan smiled even more happily when he heard this.

But then he heard Shadow ask, "Is that all you have to say?"

Ruslan looked into Shadow's red eyes.

Feeling very bad.

The man did not waver at all.

"why?"

Ruslan asked.

He didn't understand what Shadow was thinking.

He felt that he had given the best answer.

He would be more valuable to the Shadow Court alive.

"I used to be a Knight of the Round Table of the Order, but I lost my seat due to an illness. Now, not only have I cured my illness, but I have also gained even more powerful strength. I can take back my seat at the Round Table at any time. If you, the Shadow Court, want to deal with the Order, my status and position can provide you with great help. Do you have any reason to kill me?!"

Shadow heard Ruslan's question.

He just replied calmly: "So, what does it matter?"

Ruslan: “?”

Shadow said, "We are just doing our own thing."

There were no words of confusion or hesitation.

Ruslan felt extremely cold.

How can such a thing happen?

Ruslan didn't want to admit it!

"Even though you are about to become the enemy of the whole world?"

"If you can, bring all the evil in the world here, and nothing will change about what we are going to do."

Ruslan was no longer able to speak.

His face was distorted.
