Ark, they don't revolve around you

Now? With the doctor's reputation, Rhode Island has become a giant.

Yet he remains a spokesperson, increasingly ignored and snubbed.

What's so special about him that he's favored by the Doctor?

"I was a little skeptical at first." Zhuang Ning was silent for a moment, "I'm glad you're still the same as you were a few years ago."

"Are you kidding?"

“Markovitz, you are not a fool, and you have a natural sensitivity to power, but you don’t even have a name at all right now, which explains a lot.”

Zhuang Ning sneered, "You are resisting being corrupted by Casimir."

"Casimir wanted to tame you, but you refused to accept it. You were still the same as before, thinking that you should have principles."

"So you don't even want to come see me, you think I've changed, right?"

Markowitz closed his half-open mouth and said nothing.

"People can't resist the trend of the times, Markowitz, and neither can you." Zhuang Ning said calmly, "But now it's different."

"I told you this is the last time we meet. You probably won't see me again after this." His eyes were like lightning. "What do you wish for?"

Markowitz was even more stunned: "Huh?"

"What is your wish?" Zhuang Ning raised his lips, "I can help you realize it."

"If you think the current Business Federation is a cesspool, I can help you clean it up."

"If you don't want to clean up the Chamber of Commerce and want to find a good place and comrades, I can also arrange for you to enter Rhodes Island."

"Markowitz, you should know that most people don't have the choice to step out. You were no exception. When your company went bankrupt and you were in dire straits, you had no choice. When you became the mouthpiece of the Business Federation, you had no choice either."

"—and now, I can give it to you."

Markowitz was petrified: "But why?"

"Because I admire you, Markowitz. You are right. I have indeed changed." Zhuang Ning smiled, "But you haven't changed."

"You haven't changed, and you don't blame those who have changed. I envy you."

"I don't understand."

"Don't you have anger in your heart? Don't you have anger towards the No-Heroes Alliance and the Business Federation? Don't you think the people in the Supervisory Council are stupid?"

Zhuang Ning sneered, "If you want, I can help you get rid of them."

"You can create a new, wonderful country!"

Markowitz was silent for a long time, then he laughed softly: "A wonderful country? Doctor, you sound just like the leaders of those religions."

"Maybe, the difference is that they don't have the ability, but I do."

"But I'm just a nobody." Markowitz repeated again, his expression extremely serious, "Doctor, I'm not that great."

The sunlight became more intense, and Markovitz's chest rose and fell violently: "I don't know how to realize a beautiful country, I don't desire it!"

Zhuang Ning smiled but said nothing.

"Really, Doctor, even if you get rid of the Trade Union, what's the point? It will only make the Supervisory Council succeed. The Trade Union will at least prevent slavery and advocate freedom on the surface, but the Knight Master of the Supervisory Council likes to whip slaves the most!"

"What about the Business Union? That's definitely dirty, but if he were gone, Casimir would be even more backward now. On the contrary, if there were no Supervisory Council, the Business Union would be even more unscrupulous."

"I'm not a child, nor am I an idealist. I don't ask for anything. Doctor, please go."

"I gave you the chance to change the world, and you're willing to give it up?"

"Because I know myself very well." Markowitz put his hand on Zhuang Ning's shoulder, "Doctor, for someone like me, being able to stick to the bottom line is the limit."

Zhuang Ning was silent for a long time, then nodded gently: "Maybe."

Markowitz smiled and said, "But I'm still happy. At least you don't look down on me."

"You did a great job, much better than me." Zhuang Ning said.

These words were like a farewell, and Markowitz turned away happily.

He thought it would be an awkward meeting, but when he actually met his old friend, he was no longer depressed.

"How about having a drink with me tonight?" another voice came from behind.

Markowitz was stunned: "Didn't you say this was the last time we met?"

"I can go back on my word. After all, I'm powerful." Zhuang Ning blinked.

Markowitz hesitated again: "I don't drink much."

"I don't drink either." The doctor said quietly, turning his head away, "but I think it's okay to drink a little every now and then."

"You are better than ninety-nine percent of the knights in this city of knights, Markovitz."

The wind picked up again.

It was like a flash of tangible light, tearing through the sky and falling without any warning!

It was in another city far away, spanning a distance of tens or hundreds of kilometers, and it descended like a burning spear!

In the suburbs, among the ruins.

The seemingly ordinary man silently released the bow in his hand.

The bow shattered and turned into dust.

This is the black iron arrow, and it is also Casimir’s most terrifying weapon.

As assassins, they never confront the enemy head-on. Once they have determined the target's location, their arrows can kill the prey silently from a distance of hundreds of kilometers!

With the exception of the Black Knight, they have never failed.

But that's all.

——If the opponent is a demon king, their struggle will only seem ridiculous.

The arrow almost blended into the sunlight and sniped towards Markovitz like lightning.

He didn't even notice the attack until a hand reached out in front of Markowitz, firmly grasping the arrow made of black iron and as heavy as a spear.

Without giving the Demon King any extra time to think, several different arrows fell.

There are three people in Xuantie nominally, but this is just a cover, because no one in Casimir has ever seen their true appearance.

These three Xuantie, who had never appeared together before, launched sniping attacks from different directions in order to hunt down the Demon King!

"—"

Markowitz's face turned pale and he thought the Business Federation was crazy.

How dare they?

This is the monster that killed the Silver Spear Pegasus.

More than ten Silver Spear Pegasus are enough to destroy the Helmetless Alliance. This has always been the tacit understanding of this assassin organization, not to mention the doctor who beheaded the Silver Spear Pegasus!

"What's so strange?"

Zhuang Ning didn't think so, thinking it was natural, "Since I rejected the request for peace talks, they will definitely not surrender obediently."

"There are crazy people and ambitious people in the Business Union." He closed his eyes slightly, and his smile became more and more joyful. "They will think that I am just a person who can be hunted, right?"

……

……

"The arrow was blocked."

In a high-rise building, a man staring at the screen reported, "But the devil did not choose to move forward one step further."

"The Demon King is a smart man. He should be able to sense the warning from those arrows." The man said calmly.

Sending Markowitz was a test.

With the previous experience of Victoria, the Chamber of Commerce did not think that it could really confront the Demon King head-on.

In this case, we can only see if he still remembers the old friendship.

The result was unexpected. The Demon King seemed to be more emotional than expected. He blocked the heavy arrow that Xuantie shot at Markovitz.

"What a lunatic," someone whispered. "As long as Markowitz agrees, he will show up and kill us right away, right?"

They naturally had wiretaps installed on Markowitz, and they had no doubt that Zhuang Ning's words were a warning.

"Powerful people are always arrogant, but he can't do that."

The leader of the Rose Newspaper Company suppressed the last bit of nervousness in his heart and curled his lips grimly, "We will always win."

"Next, it's time to send those Qingjin out."

……

……

The sound of footsteps echoed in the alley.

The girl in white ran away hastily, feeling the shadow getting closer and closer behind her.

She also held a crossbow in her hand, her palms were sweaty, and she was wary of the pursuers.

The shadow's voice was particularly gentle, with a hint of anxiety, but he still pretended to be calm:

"Little Platinum, don't run away. You are destined to be caught today."

"Ah."

"Don't be so quick to laugh... Never mind, just laugh if you want to. I want to laugh too."

A low sigh and the sound of arrows burst out together, breaking through the darkness!

The girl barely dodged it and tried to fight back, but she couldn't see her opponent.

"Little Platinum, I should still call you Xinteleya." Shadow raised an eyebrow, "You have become weaker."

"You too. If it were in the past, I would definitely not be able to escape, Lapis Lazuli." The girl - Platinum Sintrea was not willing to be outdone and retorted sarcastically.

Only Platinum knew how dangerous this was.

Qingjin is a person who reports directly to the throne of Xuantie, and the selection criteria are sufficient to hunt any knight of Casimir.

Even a Silver Spear Pegasus couldn't escape their arrows in a one-on-one fight, let alone a mere Platinum.
