Arknights' Lock of Heaven

This is simply indescribable!

"I...I don't know how to describe it...it's best if you go and see for yourself..."

Upon hearing this, Marcus's veins bulged.

If I dared to go out, would I need you to check on me?

"Did that person leave?" he asked, suppressing his anger.

“They must have left,” the old butler hesitated for a moment, “I…I dare not open the door…”

"Why not..." Marcus was about to blurt out a rebuke upon hearing this.

Then I remembered what that person had said before.

The graffiti on the door, which no one knows who did it, is unlikely to be your son.

On the door... this pile... your son...

He considered a possibility, and then looked at the old butler's stammering manner.

Now it was his turn to stumble and run towards the door.

"Son!"

From afar, he saw the unspeakable scene on the gate.

"My son, you died such a terrible death!"

The old butler saw him kneeling and wailing in front of the gate from afar, and immediately stepped forward to remind him, "Master, that person said..."

say what?

Of course, the answer is—this pile of graffiti on the door, which no one knows who did it, can't possibly be your son!

Upon hearing this, Marcus immediately realized what was happening and shut his mouth tightly.

Don't shout!

His eyes were blazing with fire, and his veins were bulging all over his body.

Such humiliation...such humiliation...I...

What can I do?

Kazimir... Kazimir... How ridiculous...

How could someone as lowly as him ride on his neck!

How ridiculous!

Where are the conquering knights? Where are the silver-speared steeds? What are they doing?!

He wanted to angrily denounce these knights in the National Assembly for spending countless amounts of the country's military funds without achieving anything.

But then I thought again, this is something that absolutely cannot be brought up in the National Assembly.

The proposal is rejected at the very beginning.

Those people wouldn't turn against the murderer for their son's sake, at least not during the Special Championship.

Even if I submit it myself, what if that person finds out...?

What if he comes again?

For a time, even the once-glorious patriarch of the Ingra family was at his wit's end.

He could only slump down in front of the gate, staring at the pile of things that could absolutely not be his son's.

Speechless.

Until he remembered a rumor.

That was something the members of the National Assembly said in casual conversation; many of them were planning to take action against that person after the Special Championship.

After all, he openly and blatantly insulted a country.

Of course, this was just rhetoric. After all, Xia Yu was mainly criticizing those parasites in the country, and those parasites could only put on the coat of the state and form alliances everywhere if they wanted to deal with him.

The consensus among almost everyone is that such a madman cannot be allowed to leave Kazimierz alive.

Of course, "all people" here mostly refers to the Business Federation and a portion of the nobles who have sided with them.

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) would love for them to fight with Xia Yu. After all, the SFC was forced to stage a scandal like the Four Cities Great Dismantling Project, so being criticized by foreigners wouldn't be a big deal.

In any case, the Securities and Futures Commission is determined to cheer for the Federation of Industries. Of course, that's all it will do, since support is support too!

The business association, on the other hand, is in a dilemma; it's been insulted to its face, yet it doesn't dare to retaliate...

It's important to understand that in the international community, reputation represents much more than just mere fame.

If you show even a little weakness today, other countries will dare to take an inch more tomorrow!

The international community doesn't care about feelings; it's all about naked interests.

If you don't save face today, even more people will be eager to do the same tomorrow.

When it reaches the level of a business association, it's no longer a simple matter of gains and losses.

Not to mention foreign countries, even local forces don't dare to utter a word after seeing you being bullied. How can others dare to follow you as their big brother?

That person wasn't invincible, was he?

Everyone understands why they didn't dare to make a move during the Major, but they still didn't dare afterward...

Marcus had even told the lawmakers that he was prepared to watch the show.

They are the kind of fence-sitters, the neutral ones.

But now it seems that the show won't be going to happen.

If I keep watching, I'll become a character in the drama.

After thinking for a while, he dialed a phone number.

244 Subsequent Controversies

Xia Yu had vented her anger and went home feeling comfortable.

But the entire Great Knight Territory is in trouble.

From the Federation of Commerce to the Securities and Futures Commission, and even the National Assembly's opportunists, none of them gave him a friendly look.

Animals grieve for their own kind; the rabbit mourns the death of the fox.

Today he can arrogantly crush Olmer at the gates of the Ingra family, but what he might do tomorrow is something no one dares to imagine!

And all for the sake of a lowly commoner! A mere infected lowly commoner!

For this reason, a nobleman was killed...

Today, the Ingra family offended him because of a mere infected person. If he could do something like this, what if he targets him tomorrow?

Seeing the tragic state of the Ingra family's gate... everyone felt a pang of sorrow.

Then, the Business Federation's secret plan to intercept him gained many more sponsors.

Must hit hard!

Of course, Xia Yu applauded his own efforts to be on the list!

However, these people are unaware of what situation they are about to face.

How dare these mere infected people, these lowly commoners, climb over the heads of important figures like us?

In fact, they really couldn't understand it.

You're so good at fighting one person, aren't you born to be on the side of our ruling class?

Are you born to be superior? Wouldn't it be better for you to oppress and exploit the lowly with us? Aren't you happy? Is the glitz and glamour of the upper class unappealing? Or is the life of power and wealth tormenting you?

Does such a large country as Kazimierz really need a place for someone as capable as you?

As long as you come to us, we'll give you whatever you want—money, power, or anything else.

Why do you have to hang out with those peasants? What can they give you?

What can those lowly people, who can't even guarantee their own three meals a day, give you?

Justice? Or what the Yan people call chivalry?

To be honest, although they were a little confused at first, after seeing that he claimed to be from Yan Kingdom and then learning about Yan Kingdom's chivalrous culture, they were all dumbfounded.

What the hell? The Emperor of Yan could actually tolerate the existence of such a person?

Robin Hood-like behavior: robbing the rich to help the poor, killing corrupt officials, eliminating sycophants, sacrificing oneself for others, and drawing one's sword to help those in need...

The various tales of chivalrous heroes left these people stunned.

My goodness, if the Yan Kingdom were full of chivalrous heroes like these... how could the emperor possibly sit securely on the throne?

But according to international news... he's actually sitting pretty comfortably!

All I can say is—awesome!

I didn't understand it, but I was deeply moved...
