A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

"Lucky four-leaf clover?"

“That’s right. According to my investigation, some high-ranking members of the Brain Group seem to have connections with Orphino.”

"This is impossible,"

Kusaka blurted it out subconsciously, but he immediately stopped himself. It wasn't something impossible; it was a fact, a fact that was happening right before his eyes.

"They have a team called Lucky Four-Leaf Clover, which consists of four people, each of whom is an elite among the Orphnoch, the elite of the elite. You can think of them as the four kings under the demon king in a fairy tale."

"Lucky four-leaf clover..."

“That’s right. Although there are only four Orphnochs inside, their combat power is far beyond that of ordinary Orphnochs. As far as I know, there is a true monster among the four. According to my estimation, if you face him head-on and he decides to kill you, your chances of escaping are less than 30%.”

"I'm not exaggerating. You'd better not go and challenge it alone unless you want to die. For now, this is all I've investigated; there's still more to be done."

"I see."

Kusaka only wants to eliminate all the Orphnochs, not die in battle. He will keep Jiang Yang's words in mind and won't act recklessly.

"That's good."

Jiang Yang believed that Cao Jia knew what he was doing, and as long as Cao Jia didn't act recklessly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"still have a question."

"what?"

Where are the other belts?

Jiang Yang was slightly taken aback.

“I contacted Mr. Masuda, and he told me that you have a belt here. You gave them a belt, and I was wondering if there were any other belts.”

"You're right, there are indeed other belts."

"where?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that, but what I do know is that the owners of these belts are all fighting Orphnoch. Soga, whatever you're fighting for, remember, you're not fighting alone."

"And what about you? What are you doing this for?"

"I have a selfish reason, but let's not talk about it. In short, you just need to remember that I am on the side of humanity, and that's enough."

Jiang Yang is indeed on the side of humanity; he himself is human, and that will never change.

Soon, Jiang Yang said goodbye to Cao Jia. He was worried that Cao Jia would ask more questions, and he had already said enough. It would be impolite to ask any more.

The main problem is that the conditions aren't right now. If Kusaka knew too much and dragged him into some kind of final battle, he'd really be dead without even knowing how he died.

For the sake of his safety, it's best not to let him do too much right now.

Jiang Yang hadn't decided what to do next, but trouble came knocking first.

Looking at the sea hall in front of him, Jiang Yang's lips twitched.

"Hand over the belt."

That's what Kaido said as soon as they met.

"Your job today is to steal my belt?"

Jiang Yang, on the other hand, was in a relaxed mood after parking the car.

"It's not just that. We also need to clean up the traitors, seize the belt, and get revenge. Tsk, enough nonsense, hand over the belt."

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, I just didn't bring it today."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Who would believe I didn't bring it?"

"If you don't believe me, try searching for it."

Jiang Yang shrugged and turned around.

He wasn't wearing much, and he didn't have many pockets to carry anything. You could tell at a glance whether he had a belt or not.

There wasn't much space to put anything on the War Lion.

"Tsk, what bad luck."

As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

He was only there to steal the belt. Since Jiang Yang didn't have one, there was no need to waste time with him.

"Wait, Kaidou."

"Speak your mind, I'm very busy."

"It's nothing. Kazuhiko asked me to thank you. He has already talked to his family and will continue to pursue his dream."

"Really? Cough cough, Wh-what? I have no idea who Kazuhiko is. Who cares about someone like that?"

Kaidou turned his motorcycle around.

“Tell him not to waste his talent.”

After saying that, he rode off on his bike.

"Fucking arrogant."

Jiang Yang wasn't lying just now.

Kazuhiko had spoken with his family, which is why Jiang Yang was able to receive the payment for the commission. Kazuhiko did indeed want to thank Kaido.

But after waiting at the school for several days, Haitang did not reappear. Helpless, he could only ask Jiang Yang for help.

"Kaidou-senpai, senpai, that's a very nice title."

He sighed and continued on his way.

Upon seeing Kaido, Jiang Yang remembered what he needed to do. He planned to visit Nishida Kiyotaka, firstly to check on his health, and secondly, to get a group photo from the Meteor Academy.

Although the people in this world look exactly like the actors in the TV series, it doesn't mean he remembers everyone's appearance. To avoid not recognizing them in the future, he needs a reference picture.

That's roughly the idea.

After contacting Nishida Kiyotaka directly and learning their location, I rode the War Lion there, asking for directions along the way.

When Jiang Yang arrived, Nishida Kiyotaka was exercising.

I asked him about the situation.

Since Jiang Yang took Caesar's belt, no Orphnochs have come knocking on their door these past two days, but they're unsure if this is temporary or if it will continue, so they don't dare to relax too much.

Regarding the belt, the current user is Kiyotaka Nishida, but Masuda-sensei is afraid that he will misuse it, so the belt is not handed over to him for safekeeping, but is kept in the car.

They are still looking for news about Saya and Sawada, which should be within the next day or two.

They didn't talk for long. Jiang Yang had only come to ask for a photo, and once he got it, there was no need for him to stay.

He gave Nishida Kiyotaka a few instructions, telling him to use the ixa carefully and to notify him immediately if he encountered any danger. Of course, he could also call Kusaka.

Jiang Yang also gave them Cao Jia's contact information.

After receiving the photos, Jiang Yang left immediately.

They did invite Jiang Yang to have a meal with them, but looking at the small amount of food, Jiang Yang decided to skip it and suggest they try again another time.

Because they were constantly being chased by the Orphnochs, they barely had time to buy things, and they hadn't replenished their supplies for a while.

Jiang Yang rode the War Lion

"Next, the accelerator is very useful."

On the other side, Yuji Kiba arrived at the VIP reception room of the Brainpower Group, his expression solemn.

This morning, Kaidou returned, carrying Faiz's belt.

He said he got the belt from the president, and his job from now on is to use Faiz to punish Orphnochs who are unwilling to attack humans, and to protect Orphnochs who are willing to protect humans.

Kiba found Kaidou's words absurd. Yes, absurd, because he knew very well that Kaidou could not possibly live as an Orphnoch, as he claimed.

After that, he received a message saying that the president wanted to meet him.

The president of the Brainpower Group had wanted to meet the other party several times before, as he had many questions and doubts.

Although many of these questions have been answered, the key points can only be found by meeting the president.

The president was never there when he came before, so this was a great opportunity.
