A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Meanwhile, Haitang was asking for directions everywhere.

"A laundromat? I think there is such a laundromat, but where is it? I'm not sure."

He received the same answer from many people he asked, which made him feel that his future was bleak and whether his journey to find love would really be smooth.

Just thinking about that person from that day, the woman who was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes, makes my heart pound uncontrollably. I still remember that person saying that she owned a laundry shop.

"I will not give up."

He had made up his mind to find the other person.

After saying that, he started the motorcycle again.

Behind him, a figure stood still, staring intently at the departing Kaido. The man pushed up his glasses with one hand and then opened a black-covered poetry collection in his other hand.

"You can't escape."

More than half an hour later, Haitang finally found the information about the laundromat: a flyer, which was a bit damaged, but the address was still intact.

"Kikuchi Laundry & Yorozuya, what the heck? Is this really the place? Never mind, I'll just go anyway. Here I come, wait for me!"

He shouted and sped up.

The thought of soon meeting the angel of his dreams filled Kaidou with excitement and made his hands tremble.

On a road along a riverbank, Haitang saw a person standing in the middle of the road in the distance. The person seemed to be holding a book and looking down at it.

If it were someone who treats the road like their own living room, I would have definitely come down and lectured them in the past, saying how could they not pay attention to traffic safety?

But today, he wasn't in the mood, so he floored the gas pedal.

He had figured out his posture and stood there waiting. He had already prepared his lines, just waiting for his target to stop so that he could gracefully make the other party realize their mistake and pay the price.

But to his surprise, Kaido simply rode his bike past him.

His mouth, which had just opened, was stuck before he could utter a sound. He felt humiliated, as if he had been disregarded by the other party.

With a raised hand, a ball of light shot out, catching up with Haitang. The explosion overturned the car, and Haitang rolled several times on the ground, lying on the ground with his arms outstretched in a starfish shape.

This scene reminded him of something unpleasant; he had been in the same situation that day…

"Naoya Kaido, you have betrayed the trust of the president of the AI ​​company. I will now execute you."

"You bastard, are you an Orphnoch?"

"Of course, but against you, I won't."

Before he could finish speaking, a fist the size of a sandbag came into view.

"I don't care who you are, don't stop me from going on a date!"

A fist slammed into Zhuomo's face, knocking his glasses off, but Zhuomo didn't even move or back.

"Don't interrupt before others have finished speaking..."

Another punch.

"Who wants to waste their breath on you? Get out of my way."

A fist landed on his face, but the guy didn't budge. Kaido was dumbfounded. He was strong too, so what was this guy's skin made of? Did this have no effect?

"Tsk, despicable."

Takuma finally couldn't take it anymore, so he transformed into his Orphnoch form and sent Kaidou flying with a backhand punch.

When his two punches had no effect, Kaido realized that he was no match for his opponent.

Should I run? The other party's goal is to execute me. Can I really escape? I can't escape.

Damn it, even if it kills me, I'll bite off a piece of your flesh.

Getting up from the ground, Kaidou charged forward to attack. Since he couldn't escape, he would fight to the death.

"It's all in vain."

He easily blocked Kaidou's attack with just one hand; that's the difference between an ordinary Orphnoch and an elite among elites.

With a forceful push, he knocked Kaido to the ground, then pulled out a long whip and lashed him wildly, each strike causing significant damage.

With no way to fight back and only able to take the beating, Kaidou was quickly covered in wounds and temporarily lost his Orphnoch stance.

As Orphnoch drew ever closer, Kaidou could only retreat.

At that moment, a car headed straight for Zhuomo, but Zhuomo easily dodged it.

The car stopped by the roadside, and two people got out of it, including Muba and Yuka.

Seeing the two people who suddenly appeared, Zhuomo curled his lip.

"Kiba Yuji and Nagata Yuka, good timing. They can be executed together, saving me the trouble."

Kiba and Yuka didn't speak, but exchanged a glance and then assumed the Orphnoch posture.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yang was also on his way. His Hanzo had discovered Haitang's whereabouts not long ago, but the distance was a bit far, so he was unable to arrive immediately.

He notified the lumberyard and Qiao, apparently the lumberyard is closer.

When Kaidou saw Kiba and Yuka arrive, he also got up from the ground and transformed into an Orphnoch once again.

As a native Orphnoch, Kiba's abilities are not much weaker than Takuto's, but his lack of combat experience is a major weakness.

The same applies to flowering plants.

In fact, none of the three of them had any combat experience or experience in teamwork.

Cooperation without proper preparation is full of flaws. Three people trying to outmaneuver one other person can't gain any advantage at all, while the other party seems to be handling the situation with ease.

Not far away, Qiao, riding his motorized Pegasus, had already arrived at the scene. Watching the battle between the four Orphnochs from afar, he was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Is this an internal conflict within Orphnoch?

But soon, he recognized Kaidou and Kiba. He remembered these two Orphnochs; he had encountered them before, at night, and so many days had passed that he hadn't thought of them immediately.

That day, IXA intervened and stopped their fight, letting the two Orphnochs go.

Later, after learning that ixa was Jiang Yang, he asked Jiang Yang why he let them go. Jiang Yang's answer to him was that they were not enemies of humanity.

Jiang Yang also said that if they encountered the two Orphnochs and the other Crane Orphnoch, or any one of the three of them, and if they were being attacked by other Orphnochs, then they should do this…

"Jiang Yang, who exactly are you?"

With a muttered sound, Qiao transformed into Faiz, plugged the instruction memory into the handlebars, drew his sword, and charged forward.

Kiba and the others felt a chill run down their spines the moment they saw Faiz appear. Faiz was used by the AI ​​Group to eliminate the Orphnochs who refused to submit. They already knew this clearly from Kaidou.

One enemy was already causing them immense trouble; now that Faiz has arrived, things are really in trouble.

"Yukana, take Kaidou with you!"

As Kiba spoke, he picked up his sword and prepared to go alone to stop Faiz and Takuma, giving them a chance to escape.

But at that moment he heard what faiz said.

"Jiang Yang asked me to come."

Kiba was only in a daze when Faiz had already passed him and rushed towards Takuma.

He turned around, somewhat surprised to hear Jiang Yang's name from Faiz. Did Jiang Yang actually know the new Faiz?

However, one thing is certain: this Faiz is not a member of the AI ​​Group, or at least not their enemy.
