Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"Uncle! This manor is a symbol of our Linguang family! How can you sell it?"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Manna suddenly felt a headache.

Manna knew that this would happen. He didn't intend to tell Maria his plan at all, but he didn't expect her to come back at this time and just heard what he said just now.

It's... troublesome.

"The symbol of the Linguang family? Hmph, when did the Linguang family become so reduced that it needs to be represented by this kind of thing?" Manna said with a cold snort.

"But you can't just sell it like this!" Maria argued, refusing to back down an inch.

"So, what's the point of keeping this old house?"

Manna asked coldly, "Now the entire Linguang family, including your collateral aunt, there are only three people in total. It is useless to keep this old house."

"Maintaining such a vain decency is meaningless. The Linguang family has fallen, that's a fact. Maybe the Linguang family will be deprived of their noble status by the Knights Association in the near future, but even so, the family will not lose the glory."

"Isn't it all because we don't have long cavalry?" Maria couldn't listen to the other party's words at all, "As long as the family has a long cavalry recognized by the Knights Association, the association will not deprive the Linguang family of their noble titles, and we will There is no need to sell this place."

"Vanity! The glory of the Linguang family... When will it be those people's turn to admit it? ="

Manna only felt that his brain was swollen for a while, and he was already under enough pressure at work, and now he had to argue with a rebellious little girl about this kind of thing, which really made his spirit a little overwhelmed.

What makes him even more troublesome is that this kind of rebellious kid can't listen to other people's words at all, and will stubbornly think that everything is right for him, and adults who disagree with him are all idiots, and he is the only one in this world a wise man.

Who hasn't had such a time?

It's better to coax him first, after all, there are other people present now, and some family affairs are too embarrassing to discuss in front of outsiders.

Just when Manna was about to soften his attitude, he saw Maria suddenly throw the wrench in her hand on the ground, and shouted angrily, "That's not because you rejected the association's invitation, Uncle! Otherwise It's not like our family doesn't even have a knight."

"Since uncle, if you don't want to, then let me go! I will win the title of knight in the competition just like my sister!"

Maria yelled like this, as if she was about to turn around and leave.

Hearing these words, a string called 'reason' in Manna's brain was broken at this moment, and the negative emotions accumulated for a long time finally turned into anger at this moment.

"Enough!! Do you still think Linguang's family is not shameful enough?"

The turbulent evil spirit turned into a substantial storm, sweeping across the small room in an instant.

Everyone present felt as if there was a sharp sword on their throats, and their skin felt slightly tingled because of the sharpness, and they couldn't breathe in this real-like aura.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a short period of time. Manna soon realized her gaffe, and quickly curbed her gaffe.

As if nothing happened just now, he said calmly to Maria, "Don't forget what happened to your sister, now the Linguang family doesn't have so many connections to help you deal with the mess."

As if frightened by Manna's sudden outburst, Maria silently picked up the wrench from the ground and stopped arguing with his uncle. As for whether she listened to Manna's words just now, I'm afraid only she herself knows.

"I'll just say it's too much. Before doing something... think carefully about the consequences of doing so."

The quarrel between the uncle and nephew finally came to an end.

During this process, Adele has been staring at the girl closely. Although her face is a little dirty now, Adele can still see that her appearance is somewhat familiar.

Maria... Maria... Isn't that the name of the female knight she and Leon met in Casimir some time ago?

What's more coincidental is that the appearance of the two people is also very, very similar. The appearance of the female knight is almost the appearance of this girl when she grows up. This is probably not a coincidence...

After thinking about it, Adele felt that it would be better to tell them about this matter, and her intuition told Adele that this should be a very important matter.

"Sorry, I made you laugh just now." Taking a deep breath, Manna walked up to Sarah and the others, and said, "Just do what Ms. Kuhn said just now. I can't sell this manor, and there are still many procedures to be dealt with, so I will continue to entrust you to you during this time."

"Well, no problem, just rest assured, then we will leave first...Aiyafala?" Sarah turned around and wanted to take Adele away, but she saw Adele standing where she was. Action, a pair of hesitant to speak.

"That...Mr. Manna."

Adele said nervously, "Actually, half a month ago, when I first entered the territory of Casimir, I met a person who looked very similar to Miss Maria in an inn there."

"She said she was also called 'Maria'".

The movements of Manna's hands stopped suddenly, he stared at Adele, and asked each word after a while.

"What did you say?"

Unwaking Dreams: Chapter 18 Dilemma

"What does that person you see look like? Who is she with?"

Adele was taken aback by Manna's violent reaction.

She thought just now that the knight she met at the border should also be a member of the Linguang family, and it is very likely that she is the sister of this 'Maria'. She should tell her relatives out of her own feelings and reason. Just one sound.

But I didn't expect... Manna would have such a reaction.

"Well, the 'Maria' I saw was wearing a full body armor, carrying a knight's shield and a war hammer," Adele recalled the situation at that time carefully, and said, "She had a high golden ponytail , looks very similar to Miss 'Maria'."

"At that time...he was with two Sarkaz doctors. He heard from them that he seemed to have plans to come to the Grand Knight's Command in the near future."

Manna slowly clenched his fists, his brows were tightly knit together, his expression was cloudy and uncertain.

Adele had already told him so many characteristics, if he still couldn't recognize who the person who called herself 'Maria' was, then he would have spent so many years in vain.

But... why did she come back?Doesn't she know how much the Linguang family paid to send her out of Casimir?

Recalling what happened three years ago, Manna felt her heart throbbing uncontrollably.

"That must be sister! Sister is back?" Maria jumped up in surprise, but after a while, she also felt deeply worried, "Sister, she is coming back at this time... will there be nothing wrong?"

Maria was not an idiot, she was just a little naive. After the surprise, she also realized how dangerous it was for her sister to come back at this time.

"Maria, remember... don't come to meddle in this matter, just go back to your workshop and act as if you haven't heard about it, do you understand?" Manna Said calmly, but his attitude made Maria shudder, and she couldn't help shivering.

She knew that Uncle Manna was really angry this time, and if she dared to make trouble at this time, Manna would not show mercy just because she was her niece.

Even when the Linguang family was not in decline more than ten years ago, Manna was the first-class expert in the family, and now no one in the family is his opponent, even if it is her who won the knight championship. , the older sister Margaret, who was named the 'Knight of Glory', was also no match for Marna.

It's just... not many people know about this kind of thing.

"...Understood." Maria lowered her head obediently, not daring to say anything more.

"call……"

After securing Maria, Manna targeted Adele, "Miss Aiyafala, did you tell anyone else what happened just now?"

"No." Adele shook her head, "I only thought of this after I saw Maria just now."

"...That's fine. But this matter is related to the secrets of the Linguang family, can you please not tell other people about it?"

When Manna showed that expression, Adele expected this kind of result, so she nodded unsurprisingly, "Don't worry, Mr. Manna, I won't tell anyone else about this .”

"..."

In fact, the most effective way to really ensure that this matter will not be leaked is to put all the insiders under house arrest, but the problem is... Who will let the insiders this time be someone he knows?

Glancing at Sarah and Adele indiscriminately, Manna sighed helplessly in her heart.

If they are placed under house arrest, the subsequent affairs may not be able to end, and it is possible to alert the Business Federation and the Knights Association in advance.

Now... I can only gamble on whether they can keep their promises.

At this time, the cell phone in Manna's coat pocket rang at the right time. He put the cell phone to his ear casually, but what he heard after he connected it was a curse from over there.

The expression on Manna's face froze suddenly, "Minister?"

"What? Now there is a job that I need to go back and solve?"

"But today is my vacation... There are still things to deal with at home..."

Before he could finish speaking, Manna heard the phone hang up, and the other party's intentions were clearly revealed. If he didn't come later, he needed to be prepared to pack up and leave.

Damn... At such a critical moment, you still have to work overtime?Manna gritted her teeth.

But he still had to go.

It took Manna a full three years to get the Commercial Union to let go of its vigilance against him, but even so, the Unmanned Alliance has only slightly lowered its vigilance, and there are still assassins who will secretly watch his every move.

If he dares to ignore the minister's order now... Maybe all the hard work in the past few years will be in vain. This is really a dilemma.

Margaret... It's really not the right time for you to come back. For the sake of the Linguang clan and the future of Casimir, no matter what your purpose of coming back this time is, I hope you can hide for a while longer.

-------------------------------------

The time went back to an hour ago.

After rubbing Ryan's brother-in-law's self-confidence on the ground on the training ground, Ryan walked to his company with a sigh as agreed before.

Ren is a commercial knight who has signed a contract. Although the rank of knight is not high, he is also quite popular among certain people. Because of this, he can support a family's expenses.

It is true that competitive knights are very profitable, but it is also very expensive to maintain their form.

Daily training needs to eat a lot of food to supplement consumption, and the equipment that is usually worn out must also be maintained. After the game, the treatment is the most important thing. If there is any incurable injury left, it is tantamount to saying goodbye to the game career.

There is also the upgrading of weapons. If there is a generation gap with the weapons and equipment held by the opponent, it is difficult to bridge the gap with personal strength.

Ren has seen with his own eyes that an ordinary person who can't even hold a weapon steadily, armed with the Brilliant Shield Industry, has the strength to rival a superior knight... Although the price of that equipment is also an astronomical figure.

No matter which item is taken out here, it is a gold swallowing beast that cannot be fed enough. As Ren stayed in the fifth-level knight for too long, he gradually became unable to support such consumption.

Either he chooses to retire or he chooses to try for a dangerous promotion.

"Here, you don't have to do anything next, just let me talk to the boss."

Directly above the two of them, a plaque printed with "Bell Health Products Co., Ltd." radiated a faint light in Li Ang's perception.

Dreams That Don't Wake: Chapter 19 Don't Want to Be Famous

Health care product company... Well, it's a small company whose name Li Ang has never heard of.

This is not surprising, except for those low-level knights who no one cares about, the only ones willing to pay for these mid-level companies to advertise are these small and medium-sized enterprises.

"Then please, Brother Ren."

Following Ryan into the company, many people he met along the way greeted Ryan warmly. It seems that his popularity in the company is not bad.

Li Ang could also feel that many curious eyes fell on him, but out of politeness, those people did not take the initiative to ask Ren about him.

Leading Li Ang through several corridors, Ren stopped in front of a door and knocked on the door with his hands.

"Please come in."

The people in the room looked up at the visitor, "It's Ren, why are you here? Didn't you arrange your game recently?"

"Boss, I have something I want to discuss with you." Ren said, "My...relative wants to participate in the knight competition, so I'm here to ask the boss if I can sign a temporary contract with him first. contract."

"Knight competition? This kid...can he do it?" The boss raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Ang suspiciously.

Seeing the boss's reaction, Ren knew that he was also deceived by Li Ang's appearance. After all, from the appearance alone, Li Ang didn't look like a very capable fighter. If he didn't experience it personally, who would have thought of it? This kind of body that can't see a little muscle can explode that level of strength.

"Don't be fooled by his appearance, boss." Ren smiled wryly, "This kid is very powerful. I am not his opponent at all. He is at least at the level of a senior knight."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Hearing what Ryan said, the boss also became quite interested, and looked at Li Ang in surprise.

"Besides, I have one more thing to say," Ren said in a deep voice, "Am I ready to compete at the next level?"

"...Are you serious? Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"

"If it's for this kid, forget it. I don't need to threaten you with such a thing. You can be regarded as the veteran of our company, so I still have to give some face."

"This matter has nothing to do with him, it's my own idea." Ren shook his head, "Actually, Sarah is pregnant, and I want to save a little more money before the child is born. After much deliberation, this is the only way gone."

"So that's the case...then I can only congratulate you." The boss thought for a while, and then asked, "By the way, does your wife know about this?"

Hearing this, Ren touched the back of his head and squeezed out an awkward smile.

"... Forget it, I'll give you two more months of bonuses this year." The boss sighed and said helplessly, "Also, if you are not going to die on the field, don't rush to participate To advance to the competition, I will first find a way to replace your armor that is about to be eliminated, and then I think you should know the equipment gap between the fourth-level knight and the fifth-level knight."

"Thank you boss, I understand this kind of thing."

Renn is now only participating in some relatively low-level competitions, or pure exhibition competitions. In this kind of competition, his current armor is still somewhat useful, but if it is put into a higher-level competition, the armor is nothing like paper the difference.

After dealing with Ren's matter, the rest of Li Ang's matter can be solved better. In fact, the boss doesn't need to think about this kind of matter at all, just sign it without thinking.

This is the period of the Cavaliers Championship. As long as he can win a few games by chance, the traffic alone will be enough to pay back the money, and he won't lose much if he loses, not to mention the guarantee from Rennes.

"That's settled then."

"There is also the matter of this kid. You take him to the Cavaliers Association to go through the process first. Later, I will ask someone to sign a short-term contract with him."

"Okay, then I won't bother you, boss."

Just as Ren was about to take Li Ang away, the boss suddenly stopped them, "By the way, if this kid is going to participate in this tournament audition, I have to remind you of one thing."

"Recently... I heard some rumors. I heard that the National Council, the Knights Association, and the Business Alliance have reached an agreement to allow infected people to participate in this championship. If this is true, you should be more careful. "
