Everyone stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

A black car was parked on the road next to the school gate.

After the driver bent down and respectfully opened the back door, a short and fat middle-aged man walked out.

He was wearing a purple suit, a bowler hat on his head, and holding a cane in his hand. He was chubby and looked like a human.

"I'm Akaza from the Ethics Committee of the Alliance's Neon Branch. I've been ordered to bring Kurogane Ikki, the top underachiever at Pojun Academy, back to the branch for questioning. I hope he doesn't get ungrateful!"

Chapter 291: Far More Intimidating Than I Thought

2023-06-01

"I'm Akaza from the Ethics Committee of the Alliance's Neon Branch. I've been ordered to bring Kurogane Ikki, the top underachiever at Pojun Academy, back to the branch for questioning. I hope he doesn't get ungrateful!"

The short and fat man appeared in front of them with a smile on his face.

"Huh? What the hell?"

Stella frowned, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

"Isn't this Princess Stella? Please forgive my rudeness, but I didn't expect you to have such an unhappy time in my country. The culprit behind all this is this despicable man. Don't worry, I will take him away right away!"

His eyes swept through the crowd and fixed on Kurogane Ikki.

His fox-like narrow eyes flickered slightly, and then he called out to the two people behind him, signaling them to capture Kurogane Ikki.

"What on earth do you mean?"

Stella's pretty eyes were filled with evil, and her eyes released strong hostility.

Intimidated by her aura and concerned about her special status, the two followers hesitated for a moment.

The atmosphere in the field was tense.

"What is the Ethics Committee?"

Jiang Li lowered his hood and asked Senior Sister Dao Hua beside him.

"It's the branch department that manages the student knights."

Dongtang Daohua's face was also a little unhappy, but she did not lose her temper. Instead, she explained to Jiang Li in a low voice.

Most Fell Sword Knights have various privileges.

Just shouting on the street can make ordinary people retreat, even if they commit a crime, they will be given a lighter sentence, and they don’t need a passport to travel abroad, so they will receive preferential treatment wherever they go.

This is the case for professional knights, and the privileges enjoyed by student knights are no less.

However, most student knights are children, with the oldest being no more than 18 years old. Their social experience is far from comparable to that of adults, and their minds are not mature. They are likely to abuse their power, whether actively or passively.

Therefore, the Neon branch established the "Ethics Committee" department to specifically manage the ethical issues of student knights.

Issues such as abuse of power, misconduct, etc. can be investigated and handled by the Ethics Committee.

Similar to the military police in the world of swordsmen.

"As expected of a loser, he can only hide behind a woman when something goes wrong?"

Akaza's face was full of smiles, but his tone was quite sharp.

"At this point, what do you, the head of the Black Iron Branch Family, want to see me about?"

Kurogane Ikki grabbed Stella, who was furious, and said with a tense expression.

He was always friendly, but when he faced the man named Akaza, there was no smile on his face.

"Watch your tone. I'm interrogating you as the chairman of the Ethics Committee. Don't try to get too close to me!"

Chizuo banged the cane in his hand, deliberately making a harsh sound.

"If it wasn't something horrible, I wouldn't have come all the way here for a piece of crap like you."

Everyone gave him unhappy looks, but he didn't care at all.

Although it was only a brief contact, Ikki Kurogane's character and strength were recognized by them. It was really hard to convince them by calling him a waste all the time.

"elder brother!"

As the atmosphere gradually reached a stalemate, anxious voices were heard from inside the school.

"Look at this!"

Kuroganeju Shizuku ran out of the school like the wind, followed by Arisuin Nagi, both of whom had very ugly expressions on their faces.

A newspaper was handed to him by her. Kurogane Ikki took it with confusion, and then his expression suddenly became gloomy.

"These days' cameras are truly amazing. They were able to capture this scene so clearly even at night. I really admire your courage. You actually dared to attack a state guest. This is an unprecedented scandal!"

Akaza covered the smile on his face and spoke calmly.

Jiang Li took a quick glance with his excellent eyesight, and then secretly clicked his tongue.

There was a photo published in the newspaper, which showed Ikki Kurogane and Stella kissing in the depths of the forest. The background looked very familiar, probably a forest square on campus, and it was probably taken by a student passing by.

That's not the point.

"The man who took away the princess's purity."

"King Famillion was furious."

“Will it turn into a diplomatic issue between the two countries?”

These contents, which are difficult to distinguish between true and false, are printed on the page in large black letters, which has a great visual impact.

In addition to these, it also published the Kurogane family's evaluation of Kurogane Ikki, saying things like "Kurogatsu Ikki has behaved badly since childhood, is a problem child who often brings trouble to the family, and has personality defects since childhood."

There were even rumors that he had promiscuous relationships with both men and women and had impure relationships with several women besides Stella.

Those are undoubtedly deliberate smears.

Mixing half-true and half-false news together confuses people and makes them subconsciously think that Ikki Kurogane is a scumbag who plays with women's hearts.

"This old bitch came prepared!"

Jiang Li exclaimed.

The words seemed casual, but they were spoken so loudly that everyone present heard them.

"hehe."

The rich woman knew it was not the right time, but she was still amused.

"Crench!"

Chi Zuo gritted his teeth and glared in Jiang Li's direction.

"Who are you? What year and class are you in? Is this the right attitude to speak to an elder?!"

"I've never been very tolerant of idiots."

Jiang Li sighed, and the words he said made Chi Zuo grit his teeth.

"Besides, do you have any opinion on the way I handle things?"

Jiang Li took off his sunglasses and mask, revealing a ferocious smile.

Anyone who dares to speak a word will know how powerful I am today!

"Who are you……?!"

When Akaza saw his face, he couldn't help but feel his expression change.

"Ahem, young people really should be more energetic... Let's get back to the issue with this news!"

"Hey, you're so scared so quickly?"

Jiang Li was shocked.

You're such a coward, it's a bit difficult for me to get mad at you!

"Junior brother, you are after all the master's last disciple, so you should have some self-awareness!"

Dongtang Daohua looked at him helplessly.

Jiang Li is not from the Nanxiang family.

But in the eyes of those in high positions of power, his existence is even more domineering than that of the Nanxiang family.

Because he has no blood relationship with the Fighting God, but he can be given the Fighting God's surname, which shows how much the Fighting God likes this disciple.

More than ten years ago, the Fighting God ran around looking for countless doctors and swordsmen just to treat this little disciple.

He cared about this disciple much more than before, and even some people in the Nanxiang family complained a lot about it, saying that the Fighting God valued his closed disciple more than the family.

The prestige of the Fighting God was too high, and all these things about him had already spread among the top executives of Neon. Jiang Li had no contact with that group of people at all, so he didn't know that his weight was far more important than he imagined.

"Akaza, did you come up with this news?"

While Jiang Li was secretly surprised, Kurogane Jushizuku pointed her spearhead at Akaza.

Chapter 292: The conspiracy against Kurogane Ikki

2023-06-01

"You really misunderstood me, Miss Shizuku."

Akaza cleared his cough and tried his best to ignore Jiang Li's provocation next to him. When facing Hei Tie Zhu Shizuku, his tone was also softened by who knows how many times.

He couldn't afford to offend Jiang Li because he had a very strong backing.

He couldn't afford to offend Kurogane Jushizuku, because Akaza was a branch of the Kurogane family and didn't dare to disrespect the eldest daughter of the main family who might take over the position of head of the family.

"These news reports are completely based on facts and there is absolutely no suspicion of fabrication."

Akaza glanced sinisterly at Kurogane Ikki.

But Ikki Kurogane doesn't mind provoking him at all, and even dares to squat on his head and shit.

"And now it's spread outside, and Kurogane Ikki's true identity has become known to the public, so I came here. Miss, please don't misunderstand such a dedicated employee like me!"

Even when facing Kurogane Jushizuku's criticism, he was completely fearless, as if he had something to rely on.

"Do you dare to say that there is no fabrication?"

Stella couldn't help but get angry, she pointed at the report.

"Not only does this news completely slander Ikki, it also portrays me as an idiot woman who knows nothing? You're telling me this is a completely truthful description?!"

"Uh-huh, you'll have to ask him."

Akaza raised his eyes and a smile gradually spread across his face.

"Okay, come with us. We will expose everything you've done and let the public and Princess Stella see what kind of person you are!"

The undisguised contempt was directed at Kurogane Ikki.

"It's not good..."

Dongtang Daohua looked worried.

It is obvious that the other party came prepared, and it is too despicable to confuse public opinion first!

The accusation of promiscuity was put on him, so regardless of whether he did it or not, the matter fell under the jurisdiction of the Ethics Committee.

They have the right to take Kurogane Ikki away in public.

Justified!

This move was too clever and too vicious, and it came too suddenly, leaving no one able to defend themselves.

"I don't think you have the final say on this matter."

"Junior brother?"

Dongtang Daohua looked at Jiang Li in surprise.

Do you want to stand out?

But how to deal with this situation?
