My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Are you out of your mind?!

However, facing those wary and fearful gazes, the golden humanoid innocently raised the glittering invitation in its hand.

"I am a guest of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild."

Please don't hurt me.

Upon hearing the other party's pleas for mercy, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Now it was the night patrol members who were at a loss.

Although the Night Patrol rules allow for the immediate killing of Star Bell members encountered during patrols, their gleaming golden bodies are a hallmark of the Star Bell's Ten Quarters, and with the current combat strength of these ordinary members, they simply cannot defeat them.

Once they make a move, they will likely be wiped out in an instant.

But we can't just let the Star Clock Ten Quarters into the city so openly, can we?

For a moment, the atmosphere at the city gate became extremely eerie.

Nearly ten fully armed night patrol members stared at each other, none of them daring to make a move.

"Step aside"

Just as the stalemate reached a deadlock, a cold voice came from inside the city.

A white-haired man dressed in a pure white nobleman's robe, carrying a huge heavy sword covered in drifting snowflakes, strode out of the city gate with an expressionless face.

Upon hearing the news, the Snow Knights rushed over and immediately spotted the golden humanoid figure.

His aura suddenly became chilling, and tiny ice crystals began to appear in the air.

The two stood facing each other in silence, about ten steps apart.

Then, the Snow Knight glanced at the invitation in the other person's hand.

"Starry Sky Commerce Guild..."

"What a disgusting bunch of two-faced turtles."

He couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The Moonlit City branch isn't even finished yet, and they've already sold the invitations to Starbell. Are they crazy for money?

The Snow Knight inwardly cursed, but his expression remained cold and ruthless.

To be honest, he really didn't know how to deal with this hot potato right now.

Once Xingzhong Shike enters the city, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause.

But if we were to stop him on the spot and take action, that would be even more impossible.

If a battle were to break out at the city gates between superhumans of this caliber, the aftershocks of the fight alone would be enough to raze the city to the ground—at the very least, it would affect tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

dilemma.

Beneath the Snow Knight's indifferent expression, his thoughts were racing.

What should we do now?

Just then—

It seems like they've made a connection to something.

A barely concealed glint of light suddenly flashed in the Snow Knight's previously unmoving eyes.

He then turned to look at a night patrol member who was on high alert.

"you--"

“Make a trip to the Selenes family.”

The night patrol member was slightly taken aback: "And then?"

After a brief pause, a rare, meaningful expectation appeared in the Snow Knight's icy blue eyes.

"Just say—"

“A guest from Star Clock has arrived at the city gate, holding an invitation from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild, and requesting entry into the city.”

"Ask the current head of the Selenes family—"

"What are your plans for handling this?"

You should know that the Snow Knight barely slept a wink last night. Even when he managed to fall asleep, he would wake up quickly and stare blankly at the night outside the window.

The image of that man gently patting her shoulder kept replaying in her mind.

So annoying—

Since that Weiss likes to use his power to intimidate others.

So, let him figure out how to resolve the mess he created by signing the license with the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce himself...

Chapter 60: The Universe's Number One Battle of Wits, Surpassing Zhongli's Feigned Death

The Selenes family mansion.

Vera and Mona were exhausted from their fight, and they both collapsed on the floor.

Although it was Mona who was unilaterally torturing Vera, she became too sleepy to keep her eyes open halfway through the ordeal and was then kicked and beaten by Vera while she was on top of her in retaliation.

Aunt Bai lost interest after reading half of it and took her maid to build a cat house in case it was attacked at night.

Only Weiss lay lazily on the sofa, leisurely enjoying the whole farce from beginning to end.

"Two children..."

Just then.

A night patrol member rushed in from outside, panting and disregarding basic etiquette, and reported the sudden news.

"Lord Weiss—"

"At the city gate...a man from Xingzhong has arrived at the city gate, one of the ten Xingzhong!"

"The other party is holding an invitation from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild and is demanding to openly enter the city! Lord Snow Knight specifically asked me to come here to ask you, what... should we do about this?"

By the end of his speech, the night patrol member was breathless, and fine beads of sweat glistened on his forehead.

Upon hearing this, Weiss was slightly taken aback.

He then wore a thoughtful expression.

Another ten minutes have passed?

How dare you come over at a time like this...?

Just a few days ago, Xing Ba Ke was struck by lightning and turned into a bloody mist by "Bright Moon Thunder Emperor". Now, not only does he continue to send people to cause trouble, but he also comes here with an invitation letter in hand.

This arrogant attitude is truly perplexing.

Weiss couldn't help but wonder if Xingzhong had already confirmed that the so-called "Moonlight Thunder Emperor" was not a 5th-order sequence at all.

Or are you planning to play some kind of battle of wits...?

but--

Ultimately, whether or not the sequence of the Moon Emperor was exposed is actually irrelevant.

As long as no one knows it's you, everything will be fine...

As for what Starbell actually intends to do, it has nothing to do with Weiss, as long as the other party doesn't directly attack the Serenes family's mansion.

The only thing he cares about now is how to obtain the Tier 7 potions.

Thinking about this...

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into Weiss's mind.

"..."

"Let it in."

"Since Xingzhong has an invitation, let him come in directly; there's no need to stop him."

"what!?"

Upon hearing this, the night patrol members were momentarily stunned.

He felt this was a bit risky. After all, it was a genuine 7th-tier superhuman. What if they just let him swagger into the city and he caused some trouble?

But since the head of the Serenis family had already spoken, and even the Snow Knights were going to follow his instructions, he, as a low-ranking member, could not say anything more and had to quickly return to the city gate to report back.

Weiss followed the mansion to the gate, and after watching the other person's back hurriedly leave, he gave an instruction to Sebastian behind him.

"Prepare the car, let's go to the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce."

...

The city gate of Bright Moon City.

The night patrol member brought back Weiss's orders exactly as they were.

The Snow Knight immediately gave a cold laugh and a soft snort.

OK.....

Since it was Weiss who personally agreed.

Then we had no choice but to let them pass.

If something really goes wrong in Moonlit City later, that arrogant little nobleman will probably behave himself a bit...

So, the Snow Knight slowly turned to the side, making way for the golden, glittering humanoid figure.

Please.

"However, I advise you to stay within the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce area and behave yourself."

"Don't let me run into you while I'm on night patrol."

His tone was unhurried, yet a chilling aura lingered between the lines.

Faced with the Snow Knight's icy and sinister warning gaze, the golden Star Clock Ten Hours simply smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, then stepped into Moonlit City with a leisurely and unhurried demeanor.

Witnessing this scene, the other night patrol members at the city gate looked at each other, their faces filled with worry.

So... they just let a level 7 superhuman into the city like that?

One of them couldn't contain himself any longer and quietly approached the Snow Knight, lowering his voice to ask:

"Snow Knight...is this really alright?"

"Shouldn't we at least assign two people to keep a close watch on them?"

"Should I go with him?"

The Snow Knight shook his head without hesitation.

"it's useless"

"Since they dared to enter the city so openly, they must be plotting something, but we don't know their specific purpose."

"Aren't these kinds of plots common in everyday vernacular novels?"

"Once the moment they really make their move, they'll definitely kill the two people keeping watch on the side. Whatever they want to do, you're not strong enough to stop them."

"Since that's the case, we might as well just let it be."

"At least, a few lives won't be lost for no reason..."

Night patrol member: "Uh..."

That makes a lot of sense.

He was speechless for a moment.

But is this really something the Snow Knight, who is rumored to be cold-blooded and ruthless and kills anyone he sees, could say?

Surprisingly, he's a really good person...

the other side.

As Xingzhong Shike stepped openly into the City of Bright Moon, he slowly removed the flowing golden light that had enveloped him.

"They couldn't even be bothered to send someone to keep watch..."

"This amazing person, couldn't he at least put on a show?"
