I'm in the Ark, a player.

What happened next was actually quite simple: Qin Tianling took Maria to the hospital to treat her arrow wound.

As for platinum?

She obediently let Qin Tianling carry her all the way.

She kept her head buried in Qin Tianling's back, not wanting anyone else to see her face.

Otherwise, it would be quite awkward.

Why is Platinum so well-behaved?

Because she was captured, she didn't have to work overtime.

Furthermore... it's still because I can't beat this guy.

There's nothing else I can do.

After her injuries were treated, Maria was able to move around with difficulty, so she chose to take a ride home.

The lights were already off. Maria pushed open the front door halfway and peeked into the living room.

Is there no one in the living room?

very good!

Maria quickly slipped into the living room and tiptoed to close the door.

The lights came on the instant the door closed.

Next to the switch was her uncle, Marna.

"You're home so late. What were you doing tonight—did you go to the Knights' Tournament?"

Halfway through her sentence, Marna's gaze fell on the bandages on Maria's arm, the gauze peeking out from the edge of her collar on her shoulder, and her slightly limping right leg.

His brows furrowed suddenly.

He was worried about Maria, who hadn't come home yet, so he waited in the living room.

Maria did return, but she was covered in injuries!

For a moment, Marner could only think of one possibility: a competitive knightly match.

After all, her sister and aunt had both participated in the competition, and Maria was also very interested in knightly competitions.

"No... I didn't secretly sign up for the Knights' Tournament!"

That's how it is..........

Maria briefly recounted what had happened that evening.

It tells the story of how the knights, who did not use despicable means on the field, stood up outside the field like a noble being illuminating the dark earth.

That's how it is.

Even though he was facing the Unarmored Alliance, he still charged against them without hesitation for the sake of the infected, who were looked down upon by others.

Not a knight?

It was the guy Maria had mentioned to her before.

As Marna listened to Maria recount the events, a slight smile crept onto her lips.

After a long while, he slowly uttered two words in the most indifferent tone.

"good."

Seemingly still wanting more, he nodded again and added another sentence.

"good."

He then got up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Uncle Marner, what's going on?"

"I suddenly remembered that I forgot something at the company, so I'll go out and get it."

"That's what Marna said calmly."

"It's so late, why don't you go pick it up tomorrow?"

"No, some things can't be left until the next day."

He shook his head, and before leaving, he looked at Maria.

"Although your impulsive rush out tonight was too reckless,

But you did well too, worthy of the Lin Guang family name.

........

On the quiet road of the Grand Knights of Casimir,

Platinum's superior, Blue Gold Roy, had just completed a task assigned to him by the Business Federation: shooting down a disobedient knight who refused to throw a match.

"Tsk, these kinds of people in the business alliance, all they do is boss people around."

It seems the Knights of Conquest have been making some moves lately... I wonder what the Oversight Council of the Kazimierz government is planning.

Feeling things were getting complicated, Roy walked slowly down the deserted road, wondering if he should make himself a cup of coffee when he got back.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Under the streetlights ahead, a blond figure wearing a black leather coat, Kuranta, appeared out of nowhere.

He stood there, blocking Blue Gold Roy's path.

"Mr. Marner, what a coincidence to run into you here!"

"Isn't tonight wonderful?"

Blue-gold Roy greeted him naturally.

Marner did not respond to his greeting.

He merely turned his head slightly and glanced at the bench beside him.

The benches were simply the kind of public benches made of iron and wood, meant for passersby to rest on.

"It wasn't a coincidence, I came here specifically to find you."

Then he raised his hand, pointed to the bench, and his finger paused in mid-air.

Marner commanded,

"Qingjin, please sit down."

......

.

Chapter 104, I'll make you pick up the bow!

Under Marner's words, Blue Gold Roy looked troubled, but still obediently sat down on the bench.

After that, Marna also sat down on the bench.

However, he was sitting in the very middle of the bench.

After sitting down, he took out a neatly folded newspaper from inside his coat and began to read it by the light of the streetlamp.

After a while, Roy couldn't help but stand up from his chair.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now?"

"Blue Gold Roy pointed to the vast, cloudless night sky and said..."

"Look, it looks like it might rain in the middle of the night, and I didn't bring an umbrella."

This was an excuse he made for himself, so that he could slip away without losing face.

As Roy spoke, he took a step forward, intending to leave.

At this moment, the only response from Blue Gold Roy was two words from Marna.

"sit down."

Roy's leg, which had just taken a step, froze.

“Mr. Marner, isn’t this inappropriate?”

I have other things to take care of, so I don't have much time to spend with you here cultivating your mind.

See, I don't seem like that kind of person, right?

Roy forced a smile.

"Interfering with the Wuzhan Alliance's operations could easily attract unwanted attention—"

Am I speaking to you in Gaul?

I said... "Sit down!"

This time, Marner's tone was slightly more forceful.

After hesitating for a long time,

Roy obediently sat down again.

Marner continued reading the newspaper.

He remained silent, and Qingjin dared not move for a moment.

If Qingjin had subordinates now, perhaps he wouldn't be in such a passive position.

Time passed by little by little.

An unknown amount of time had passed, a very long time, so long that Qingjin Roy could no longer hold back and spoke up.

"Um, Mr. Marner, is there something you need from me?"

Marna began to speak slowly.

“My niece, the one who wasn’t deported, was shot and wounded today by your Unarmored Alliance.”

"what?"

Blue-Gold Highlord Roy was stunned.

What do you mean by saying that my men shot and wounded Marner's niece?

Is the Linguang family's only remaining heir in Kazimierz?

"It seems you were clearing out the infected. My niece couldn't stand your actions and stood in front of the infected, and as a result, she was shot by your arrows."

Without looking up, Marner continued speaking as the newspaper turned to the next page.

Roy suddenly remembered that an infected cleanup team had gone missing today, and there had been no news of them after Platinum went to provide support.

Could it be that this was the squad that encountered Maria?

What about the complete annihilation of that squad and Platinum's disappearance?

There are many questions surrounding Blue Gold Roy.

But he spoke first in response to Marner.

"The arrows of the Unarmored Alliance have no eyes; there's nothing we can do about it... Mr. Marner, please understand."

Blue-Gold Roy paused again, then helplessly shrugged.

"Furthermore, rushing headlong into the face of the target the Unarmored Alliance is trying to assassinate is unwise in itself."

"Are you trying to say that her behavior was wrong?"

Marner put down her newspaper and looked at Roy.

Roy, who was being stared at, suddenly felt an invisible pressure surge up and broke out in a cold sweat.

"No...that's not what I meant..."

"So what do you mean?"

Are you implying that I'm not a good parent?

"No, it's not..."
