A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

"You must be Yuji Kiba. I've known about you for a long time and have always wanted to meet you, but I never had the time. Now I've finally met you."

Kiba sat on the sofa, rubbing his fingers together. Opposite him was a middle-aged man in a suit who looked fairly kind.

However, Kiba's heart was not at ease at this moment; he sensed a dangerous aura.

"I've always wanted to see you too."

Kiba was pondering how to begin the conversation, as the person in front of him did not appear to be a kind person.

"You were resurrected as a native Orphnoch after your death, which is quite remarkable. Native Orphnochs are extremely rare. If you wanted, you could have rights that others wouldn't even dare to dream of. However, you refused to attack humans."

His originally kind face was replaced by anger at this moment, and his tone also changed.

Kiba, who was initially a little tense, calmed down after hearing those words.

"Because I am human."

His tone was full of determination.

“There are always stubborn guys like you, and I could let it go in the past, but now that I’m the president, I will absolutely not allow this kind of way of life to happen to you.”

"Why should I obey your orders? What kind of person I should become, how I should live—those decisions should be mine to make. Ultimately, what is this company's purpose? Why would they attack humans just to increase the Orphnoch population?"

Being asked a barrage of questions, and receiving no respect whatsoever in his tone, Murakami Kyoji's expression turned sour.

"Who knows the reasons? What I can tell you is that people are born into this world crying, and that's something that can't be changed. But whether you die crying or laughing is up to you."

Yuji Kiba could tell, of course, that the other party was threatening him, and that they were threatening him with death.

However, he wasn't afraid at all, and his initial nervousness instantly eased.

In his eyes, the fact that the other party threatened him with death instead of reasoning with him directly confirmed that his choice was correct.

In his view, the other party clearly had many choices, such as racial righteousness, differences in status, and the idea that those who are not of our race must have different intentions. There were so many things to say, but the other party chose the least effective threat.

Is it because the other party is stupid and can't think of it?

No, Kiba didn't believe the other party couldn't have thought of it.

There's probably only one reason why that's possible, according to Kiba.

The guy in front of me doesn't care.

Thinking about this, Kiba suddenly felt he understood. He wondered if there was some unavoidable reason for him and Orphnoch before, and he had even had such thoughts.

But now it seems that those were all unnecessary worries.

He is no longer confused.

"I am human."

"Tsk, the worst choice."

Murakami Kyoji liked to categorize things into different classes, and clearly, Kiba, who disobeyed orders, was already considered the lowest of the low in his eyes.

That is, it has no value whatsoever; on the contrary, it may be harmful.

There is no need for this kind of thing to exist.

Of course, now is not the time to take action, and Kiba is not worth his personal involvement.

Leaving the Smart Brain Group, Kiba took out his phone. He felt very relaxed and no longer confused. Now, perhaps it was time to listen to what Jiang Yang had to say.

Thinking this, he was about to call Jiang Yang when a call came in from Jiehua.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

"I think I said something wrong. Kaidou is gone. He said he'll never come back."

"Really? Yes, I understand. Don't worry, he'll come back."

Although there is no evidence to prove it, that's what Kiba thinks.

After hanging up the phone, Muchang called Jiangyang.

"Do you have time? About that thing we talked about before, um, my house? Okay, I'll be right back."

After agreeing to meet at his home, Kiba hung up the phone and glanced back in the direction of the Zhinao Group.

He might never come back to this place again, and he doesn't want to come back.

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Yuka sat on a bench and chatted with Keitaro via text message.

She chased after Kaidou but lost him. She was worried that she had said something wrong that made Kaidou angry, and she was also afraid that Kaidou would do something bad. So she called Kiba first.

Then I started contacting Keitaro.

Since meeting Keitaro, they have been meeting frequently and chatting more often. She would consult Keitaro about anything that came up.

As long as she could talk to Keitaro, as long as she could stay by Keitaro's side, as long as Keitaro was there, she felt that she could forget her past. The suffering of the past no longer seemed like suffering, but just an ordeal set up by God so that she could meet Keitaro.

Keitaro replied quickly; his text messages would soon be marked as read, and then he would receive a reply just as quickly.

She told Keitaro that she had said something that angered her friend and now she didn't know what to do.

Keitaro comforted her, telling her not to be discouraged, while trying to find a solution for her and asking if she needed any help.

Seeing these things, Yuka felt a warm feeling.

"Hey, this is a beauty, a pretty girl, smiling so happily. Is there something good happening? Why don't you tell us? Let's make friends and maybe borrow some money from a friend."

Seeing the three delinquent-looking guys who had appeared in front of her, and hearing their words, Yuka felt a surge of anger. These people were already courting death.

But then I thought of Keitaro.

She clenched her fists.

"Excuse me, I have a boyfriend. He went to the bathroom and will be back soon."

Yuka showed off the trendy couple pendants on her phone. Even for Keitaro's sake, she couldn't kill anyone else. Otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn't be worthy of continuing to be with Keitaro, and she was also afraid she would lose that courage.

"Hey? Boyfriend, where is he? I can't see him. Are you talking about me? That's so embarrassing."

The other party showed no sign of giving up, instead mistaking her behavior for cowardice and becoming increasingly arrogant.

"I'm sorry, I really..."

"Boyfriend? It's okay. I believe he won't mind. In fact, he might be happy that you've made friends with us."

The three of them moved closer together as they talked.

What do you know about him?

Yuka spoke very softly, so softly that she couldn't even hear herself. She clenched her fists tightly. These people were saying bad things about Keitaro, which had crossed her bottom line.

They deserve to die, but they can't die here. It's too close to home, and they can't cause trouble for the lumberyard.

She was terrified that she wouldn't be able to be with Keitaro, but she couldn't stand anyone slandering him.

These people have no idea how important Keitaro is to her. These people deserve to die.

Thinking this way, she decided to agree to the three's request first, and then take them to a secluded place.

Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle rang out.

"What are you doing?"

A voice came from behind them. Jiehua looked up and recognized the person.

"Kid, I advise you to mind your own business."

Jiang Yang is not yet nineteen years old, and his face still has some of the immaturity of a student. Although he has matured a lot after this period of experience, his appearance is still the same.

"If you don't want to die, get out."

Jiang Yang wanted to kick each of these three guys. Damn it, of all people to mess with, they had to mess with this ancestor. Did they think they could mess with someone else? Aren't they afraid of becoming someone else's achievement?

Are you eager to send people to their deaths and boost sales for others? The performance of the outstanding employees in the original world of Jiehua is inseparable from these guys who are rushing to their deaths.

"Tsk, you're really arrogant. You asked for this, kid. Now I'm giving you two choices: either kneel down and apologize, and then lend us your car for a few days, or we'll take care of you ourselves and make you lie in bed for a few days."

Jiang Yang was speechless. Well, instead of provoking Jiehua, she's provoking him?

The War Lion is very cool, but to risk one's life for it, wow, that takes guts.

Of course, Jiang Yang wouldn't kill anyone, nor had he ever killed anyone. He simply parked the car and then delivered a powerful flying kick to each of them. With his current physical condition, that full-force kick could have broken someone's bones.

He only kicked those people over; he was being very gentle.
