Arknights' Lock of Heaven

“Of course you can,” Xia Yu said with a smile. “Didn’t you hear them announce it?”

"All right……"

Hearing this, Maria finally stopped asking questions.

She looked at the two Sarkaz opposite her, then at Xia Yu beside her.

Hmm, suddenly I'm not scared anymore.

Maria felt reassured when she recalled Mr. Xia Yu's effortless ability to manipulate her.

"that is……"

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"Is this young lady from the Lin Guang family? I've never heard of her before?"

Yes, when people look at a stranger, the first thing they notice is their appearance.

Without a doubt, no one can find much fault with Xia Yu's appearance.

Well... well, not masculine enough.

But he was already used to it.

"Well then, let the competition officially begin!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Withered Knight raised his bow and nocked an arrow, shooting it at Xia Yu.

"We can see that the Wither Knight launched the first attack..."

Mob, who had finally managed to compose himself, lost control of his tone again.

As a seasoned commentator, this shouldn't be the case.

However, their performance on the field was truly amazing.

The Sarkaz knight, who was nearly three meters tall, must have used extraordinary longbows and arrows.

In fact, these so-called arrows are enough to be considered as small crossbow bolts.

Withering didn't think too much about it; it was just another opponent.

He shot an arrow directly at Xia Yu, wanting to test his strength.

As a result, the thick arrow, as thick as a baby's arm and whistling through the air, was grasped by Xia Yu in the next second.

The arrowhead was aimed directly at his forehead, but could not go any further.

His relaxed expression at that moment was as if he had plucked an apple from a tree, and then 'picked' an arrow whose speed was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and held it in his hand.

No wonder Mob was dumbfounded; he had never seen anything like it before.

Then, the drone followed up, giving a close-up of his hand holding the long steel arrow.

With a hand as smooth as jade, he casually held up the long arrow, found a suitable position, then placed his thumb against the front, his little finger against the back, and the remaining three fingers gripped the arrow shaft.

Apply a little force.

crunch...

The steel arrow was easily bent, as if kneading dough; the steel arrow, as thick as a baby's arm, was easily folded into a triangle.

"That's it?"

Clang...

Xia Yu scoffed as she casually tossed aside the long arrow, which was now in terrible condition.

"It looks impressive, but it's really just a facade."

Maria, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

The sound of that arrow hitting the ground... it certainly didn't sound like a defective product...

Having worked as a craftswoman, she naturally understood that, let alone a defective product, its appearance... was already considered a fine piece.

She turned to Xia Yu with a shocked expression. "So you held back so much when we were sparring?"

222 Caliber is Justice

"To be honest, I'm really disappointed."

Looking at the arrows trampled beyond recognition at her feet, Xia Yu said with some regret, "I thought your Business Federation could come up with something special for me, like a championship, or at least a runner-up or a top-four finish."

"That's it?"

"Since you're already so shameless, why not go all the way?"

"Just send out the best ones! On one hand, they shamelessly changed the competition rules at the last minute, targeting Maria and the surname Nearl, and on the other hand, they want to play the innocent. I really don't understand..."

"Since you care so much about your reputation, then let's have a fair competition. Sigh, I have the utmost contempt for these cowardly idiots."

"Can't you just be more straightforward?"

Maria, who was standing nearby, was completely dumbfounded when she saw the cluster of flowers blooming.

Don't forget, because someone's suggestion to equip the players with microphones was so popular, they've been using microphones on the field ever since.

Xia Yu's words were thus clearly conveyed to the entire audience.

Mob is completely stuck now.

As he listened to Xia Yu's beautiful voice, he silently shrank back.

Yeah, we can't afford to mess with them.

The pros have started a group fight; it's best for a weakling like me to stay out of it.

What can he do if he goes up there now?

Helping Xia Yu criticize the Business Federation?

Don't you want to live anymore?

Those business association members insulted Xia Yu?

That won't do either. They dare to be so arrogant and trample on the reputation of the Business Federation. What if they really have a powerful backer behind them?

So it's best to try not to offend either side.

I just disappeared!

Although there's no one like Mob to stir up the emotions on the field, the emotions of the surrounding audience don't need to be stirred up anymore.

Do the Kasimir people not know what the Business Federation is all about?

Now that someone is openly criticizing me like this, I have to stand up for them!

I'm not after anything else, I just want to have some fun!

Moreover, judging from their posture, it's impossible for them to lose.

As Xia Yu began to curse loudly, the prize money in the prize pool increased dramatically.

It's rising rapidly!

They don't stop at all.

Whether it's betting in person or online, the enthusiasm of the Kasimir people was immediately ignited.

For foreigners who come here because of its reputation, they may indeed not understand what the business association is doing, nor why the locals have such an attitude towards it.

But that doesn't stop them from following the trend!

Because even the most basic understanding is that the Business Federation is one of the powers in Kazimierz.

In their country, it would be equivalent to cursing a grand eunuch in Yan, cursing a powerful duke in Ursus and Victoria, and cursing the Noble Alliance in Letania...

In this era of intense ideological clashes, people generally share a similar view of the individuals mentioned above.

How can you govern a country while living with these kinds of insects?

This is something you would never see in Terra, where feudal forces have not yet withdrawn and capitalism has just begun to rise.

What are we waiting for? Let's go for it!

So the company directors were jumping up and down as they listened to Xia Yu's refined and easygoing manner, then turned to look thoughtfully at the unprecedented speed at which the prize pool was accumulating.

But Xia Yu on the field didn't care about any of that.

Money is just an external thing, he can say with such confidence now.

The most crucial thing now is to slap the Business Federation hard in the face.

Otherwise, these ninja turtles might actually be able to endure it.

After all, to establish authority through killing, they need to select a few of the most daring individuals, right?

Just as he was about to continue his refined and amiable demeanor, the corruption and decay opposite him could no longer contain themselves.

These two Sarkaz have had their brains completely messed up; they can't tell when to play dead and when to swagger around.

Mob, for example, does it very well.

The two negative examples in front of them immediately started fighting.
