Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

But he simply turned his back and left?

And who was that person who suddenly appeared and then disappeared?

How could he possibly stop the enraged Saiyan Knight?

Besides their doubts, they were also mostly disappointed.

"Keep playing! The match isn't over yet!"

Some people cursed, some cheered, but many others remained silent.

First, there was that rookie knight.

Next up was this Saiyan Knight who suddenly appeared.

Are all the newcomers participating this year monsters?

While the audience experiences a sense of disappointment due to the game itself, for those who are not just there to watch the game, this scene signifies an unexpected and special situation.

The power of these rookie knights is not easy to control. They are not like other contestants who can be manipulated at will by simply spending some money or arranging some manpower.

Some people have already plotted how to eliminate them, while others are thinking about how to manipulate them.

"It's that guy again!?"

Audiences and headhunters from various companies may not recognize Tomat's face.

But for Charlize, who rushed into the stands when Tomat intervened, it was a face that couldn't be more "friendly".

"And who is he...?"

Charne saw the Saiyan Knight leaving the field, and the "young master" slumped in front of the gate, trembling.

He instantly understood the situation—Tomat had stopped the Saiyan Knight who had caused the tremors and damage to the field.

"...Are they from Rhodes Island again?"

He was well aware that there were individuals on Rhodes Island with powers that defied common sense.

Now that another one has appeared, he naturally assumes that the other party is a member of Rhodes Island.

"None of the participants they submitted used the name 'Saiyan Knight'..."

Charné thought quickly.

"A petty trick... sending someone to fight independently? Looks like they anticipated we'd try to exclude everyone on the list, huh..."

If another group of people is really going to be arranged to secretly carry out the plan of "seizing the title of Knight and then interfering with the regulations for infected people," then at least they should do it discreetly.

Clearly, someone with that kind of power cannot afford to be low-key.

Charn made a phone call and contacted the Knights Association office at the stadium.

When the call connected, he could clearly hear that things were very chaotic on the other end—after all, this was a tremor that almost cracked the entire arena, and those who were only thinking about doing their hard-won job well would naturally panic as a result.

"Mr. Charney, did you see that? The match just now was... In short, the internal communications and audience hotlines have been overwhelmed!!! The sponsors and families of the White Shirt Knights are protesting!"

A trembling, stuttering voice came from the other side, but Charnet ignored their concerns and skillfully issued the order:

"...Contact all media outlets and do everything you can to promote this Saiyan Knight...Replace the top trending topics on all news media and social media with information about this match."

"Yes, the repair costs were applied for from the various sponsoring companies."

"Don't worry about Bai Shan's reaction. Just talk to other companies. Don't worry, those guys won't refuse. They'll desperately inject funds into this game. This newcomer's high-profile performance can bring in even greater profits than Cai Qishi."

"Stop the damage? No need. The only thing that needs to be stopped is the extent of the damage to the site. Arrange for a construction team immediately. Hand over the media to the relevant leaders. I'll contact the other groups..."

"He'll disappear? Don't worry, I know who he belongs to..."

After hanging up the phone, Charné pinched the bridge of his nose and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Since a direct confrontation is difficult, we'll drag you into a web of self-interest.

Participants affiliated with a company conceal their identities and compete as independent riders, while their whereabouts are also revealed...

Scandals, controversies, manipulation of interests, control of public opinion, and internal interference—these are the most common tactics employed by Charnard—or rather, the business alliance.

"Inside the court, you can do whatever you want; outside the court, don't blame me for using my own methods."

Charne thought to himself that once Rhodes Island noticed his actions, they would surely realize that this was a declaration of war.

"Let me see Rhodes Island's public relations capabilities. Let me see how you fight against the trend of knightly competition when there are such big interests and reputation issues involved."

Meanwhile, on the Rhodes Island, many people were also paying attention to the performance of this familiar member.

Gohan, who teaches at Rhodes Island from Monday to Friday and disappears on Saturdays and Sundays, is someone most people feel is incompatible with the identity of a knight.

Shouldn't it at least be... a suit of armor?

Even those who have witnessed his combat training with Tomat and others don't think so.

If I had to say something, it would be that he was less assertive than Tomat and less intimidating than Badak in his daily life.

Aside from the muscles that only become visible when he takes off his clothes, and the facial scars that have faded after a period of recuperation, people's impression of him is more that of a polite and well-mannered gentleman—not the somewhat frivolous feeling of Tomat, but the kind of "honest man".

However, their performance on the field this time, whether it was their entrance, their costumes, or their fighting style, was quite "novel" to them.

"Wow, I wish I could kick like that and scare the enemy half to death before making a graceful exit."

The television in the cafeteria was playing a somewhat shaky picture, while Winter looked on with admiration at Gohan's back as his cape swayed on the screen.

"Then first you have to make the same funny gesture as that, get mocked by the enemy until you get angry, before you can unleash a level of power."

Truth poured cold water on the situation from the sidelines.

"Although he was angry, he must have subconsciously controlled his strength, otherwise we probably could have felt the vibrations."

The professor also appeared here, commenting on the scene on the screen, but she seemed more concerned about Tomat, who suddenly appeared on the screen and dissuaded Gohan.

She didn't say it aloud, but continued:

"Looks like Mr. Gohan is going to become famous... I wonder how he'll handle the conflict between his two identities?"

"Doesn't Rhodes Island need any help?"

At this moment, someone noticed the doctor's detached tone.

Gohan's identity should be easier to trace than Tomat's. The media would likely contact Rhodes Island directly, and the fact that they sent two groups of people to participate in the competition would make it public.

This is not good for their purposes.

Why deal with those things?

The doctor replied in a puzzled tone:

"The Saiyan Knights have become famous. What does that have to do with Mr. Gohan, an office worker at Rhodes Island?"

The turmoil surrounding this match won't fade away so easily.

However, this does not mean that other matches cannot continue.

The Howling Arena has multiple zones, so even if the venue is damaged and temporarily unusable, the competition can be arranged to continue in other places.

Having dealt with the remaining issues from that match, Calner also shifted his focus to another match that was poised to attract attention.

—But it was originally the most important part of today's schedule.

But after that match, it seemed that any clash of rising stars would appear dull and lackluster.

The media and spectators who "claimed to be supporters" all focused on the Saiyan Knights in the stands. Even the spectators at the game were holding their mobile devices, searching for information about the Saiyan Knights on various social media platforms across the city.

Not many of them care about the next game.

Maria Nearl, sister of the Radiant Knights, versus Plastic Sergeyak, vanguard of the Howling Knights.

"Howling Guardians had planned to use this competition to advertise their new armor... but they miscalculated because the level of competition involved in such a battle would lower public attention..."

Calner is currently assessing the benefits of the upcoming matches.

"Continuing the competition would result in a significant loss of existing profits..."

Finally, he dialed a number and readjusted the schedule.

A battle that could have brought more profit should be placed in the right position.

As for the matches played by other worthless newcomers, they will continue as usual, since they wouldn't receive much attention under normal circumstances anyway.

Maria then received a new notification: the match originally scheduled for the afternoon would be postponed due to renovations at the venue, with the exact time to be determined.

Maria breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat disappointed.

Having more time is certainly good, but all the preparations she made before were in vain, especially after witnessing the last match, she was filled with a sense of emptiness.

—If I advance to the Special Championship, I'll eventually have to face either Mr. Gohan or Mr. Tomat.

Among them, there was even one who hadn't made a move yet...

In addition, other members of Rhodes Island also have official players representing the entire company in competitions.

Can I really stand on the same stage as them?

She now understood why the Black Knights' three-peat had landed them in such a predicament, making them a thorn in the side of the business league and subjecting them to persecution.

Because of the overwhelming difference in strength, many people will indeed lose the desire to fight.

No one would be willing to participate in a competition just to challenge such a monster, and the knightly arena would naturally lose its vitality.

After all, most of the participants are not there to seek higher-level battles, and if they cannot gain any benefits or influence from their opponents, they are naturally unwilling to fight.

However, they seem to be different from the Black Knights. Even the powerful Black Knights are still outnumbered and outmatched when faced with the combined pressure from large corporations. If it weren't for the help of the benefactor from Kalan, her fate would probably not have been any better than that of other people who resisted the Knights' Tournament or affected the interests of the Business Alliance.

These people, who use such high-profile behavior to cause their opponents a lot of trouble, have the strength to back them up.

Whether it's the actions taken off the field to deal with infected individuals or the overwhelming display of power on the field, they seem unafraid of the business alliances that many people fear.

"I wonder what's going on with my sister there..."

The thought that her beloved older sister was also on Rhodes Island made her feel even more that it would be difficult for her to compete with them in the game.

As a member of the glorious Nearl family, I do not yet possess the same dazzling strength as them.

Maria thought she had seen through the darkness of knightly competition and the suffering she would have to face.

But now she feels that her perspective is still too narrow.
