A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

As an Orphnoch, Kaidou is slightly weaker in strength because he is not a native species. Jiang Yang doesn't recall ever seeing him activate his passion state, so he doesn't know if he doesn't.

In short, it's practically impossible for Kaidou to beat Faiz.

"stop!"

Jiang Yang heard a loud shout and saw another Orphnoch, which, judging from its appearance, should be a Marphnoch.

"Kiba, I almost forgot, you're here too."

Jiang Yang spoke softly, taking out his ixa belt. It was better to end the Min-style plot here; he had a stomachache and high blood pressure while watching TV, and he didn't want to experience the same thing when he came here.

IXA transformed, activating Burst Mode and unleashing a barrage of fire that separated the two sides on the ground. The sudden attack caused both fighters to stop and look warily at the suddenly appearing IXA.

The most tense situation was undoubtedly that of Kiba. He remembered Jiang Yang's words, and now that he had arrived and even transformed, Kiba believed Jiang Yang was there to deal with Haitang. So, had Haitang committed murder?

Kiba was very nervous; he wasn't confident he could escape unscathed with Kaidou from Faiz and Ixa.

Qiao was very puzzled, wondering who the person in front of her was and what their purpose was.

"Who the hell are you!"

"A nosy traveler, there seems to be some interesting activity going on here, but I'm sorry, I'll have to stop."

Are you on their side?

"I'm not on either side, I just think your fight is pointless. How about we sit down and have a cup of tea together? It's on me."

"Are you kidding me? Are you going to protect Orphino?!"

“I won’t protect anyone. Not all Orphnoch people are bad. Besides, that person isn’t dead yet. Of course, that’s only for now. If he’s not taken to the hospital soon, then we can’t be sure.”

IXA's scan detected that the person lying on the ground still had vital signs. Kaidou didn't use his Orphnoch abilities to directly ash the person's heart, otherwise the guy would have been dead for sure.

"you."

Qiao was about to say something, but from a distance, Qitaro shouted that saving people was the priority.

Faiz immediately picked up the person on the ground.

"When you take him to the hospital, call the police. This guy is a murderer."

Qiaoye was slightly taken aback, but Qitaro's van had already appeared.

"hurry up!"

Qiao glanced back, memorized ixa and the two Orphnochs, and then got into the car.

Jiang Yang turned around only after watching the car drive away.

Without saying anything, he immediately deactivated the transformation.

Upon seeing this, Kiba and Kaidou also returned to their human forms.

"What? If you hadn't come, I would have definitely beaten them to a pulp."

Kaido said, turning his head away.

Jiang Yang didn't say anything, but looked at the wood yard.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang Yang, for causing you trouble."

Jiang Yang shook his head.

"You're not causing me trouble, you're causing trouble for yourselves, Kaidou..."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in your lecture. Goodbye."

After saying that, Kaido left without looking back.

Only Jiangyang and the timber yard remained.

"Alright, Kiba, it's getting late, let's head back."

"That, thank you."

"what do you mean?"

"Haitang's matter."

Jiang Yang smiled and looked at the timber yard.

"I'm confused as to why you care about him so much, since you two don't seem to know each other very well."

"Well, I don't really know how to put it, it's just a feeling that I don't want this person to become like me, something like that."

"Heh... In that case, are you interested in information about him?"

"what?"

"One thousand yen."

"Eh?"

"What, you don't think it's free, do you?"

"No, um, please tell me."

Kiba took out a thousand-yen bill from his wallet.

"Thank you for your patronage. Ahem, according to the information I've gathered, Kaidou was a student at a nearby music university. His guitar playing was superb, and he won numerous awards during his time there. He was a renowned musical genius. At least, he used to be."

"What did that mean in the past?"

"An accident ruined his future. He could no longer play the guitar and had to drop out of school. A genius fell from grace."

"An accident? What exactly happened...?"

"You care a lot? Then go and see for yourself. With Kaidou's reputation, finding out about his past shouldn't be difficult."

As Jiang Yang spoke, he turned around, waved his hand, and prepared to go home to sleep.

Kiba clenched his fists, silently making a decision.

Jiang Yang had only been riding the War Lion for a short while when he suddenly stopped. He felt a pressure, an unprecedented pressure, the fear of death.

My heart was racing, I could hear it clearly, cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I was in a daze, as if some kind of dangerous monster was around me.

"so boring."

A voice drifted over, accompanied by a white paper airplane. The paper airplane slowly floated in Jiang Yang's sight, turning to ashes and falling to the ground.

"Do you have something interesting to say?"

In Jiang Yang's line of sight, a rope of desire shot up from the ground, and below it was a thin boy with a weary expression, who looked like he was tired of the world.

But it was this very person who made Jiang Yang afraid to move an inch. If he angered the other party, he worried that he wouldn't even have the chance to transform.

"I'm asking you a question, is there anything interesting?"

Jiang Yang was cursing under his breath. He had considered the possibility of encountering a high-level Orphnoch earlier, but he had never thought of running into Kitasaki directly.

Kitazaki, the Dragon Orphnoch, is undoubtedly one of the strongest Orphnochs in the entire Faiz world.

His strength is so great that even in his human form he surpasses that of an ordinary Orphnoch; simply touching him can cause him to turn to ash.

Its Orpheus form is even more terrifying. Its terror is not just in terms of numbers. If we only talk about data, ixa has the strength to fight it.

What's truly terrifying about the Dragon Orphnoch is its mechanism; Jiang Yang currently has no means to counter its high-speed movement in its dragon-human form.

Shall we fight?

Jiang Yang was already preparing to take out the ixa belt.

"No? Something interesting? That's a shame."

Funny, funny! Are you a comedian? All you think about is having fun. If you're so bored, why don't you just die?! Wait, funny…

"Yes, I have something interesting to say."

"Oh? What is it? Tell me quickly."

The other party's attitude suddenly changed, and their tone was no longer lifeless.

"You can contact the president for details about the Leo Cavalry Project."

"Our own people? How boring. But Leo the Cavalry sounds interesting. Well then, goodbye..."

Kitazaki turned around, and Jiang Yang watched his figure, his right hand holding the ixa punch trembling. Should he transform, or end it like this? Should he fight?

He ultimately suppressed his impulse; he couldn't take the risk without being certain.

"Is this considered escaping a disaster?"

Jiang Yang felt as if he had just taken a shower, his whole body was soaked in sweat. He couldn't understand why he should react this way, even if Kitasaki was terrifying.

Just now, I clearly sensed the threat of death, something I've never experienced before.

Ultimately, I never had this keen sense of perception before.

Is this the thing?

Jiang Yang closed his eyes and sensed the coins inside his body; the coins seemed to have become more colorful. But he could only sense them, not see them.

It seems the coin's effect enhanced his perception. Honestly, I don't know what to say.

"Go home. You've escaped with your life, so go home and rest now."
