Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Chess Game
 

Southern city gate.

After the peculiar mad laughter gradually faded, no one still wanted to step out of the carriage.

Inside the carriage.

Han Dong halted his laughter, and seriously discussed some matters with his team.

“This matter pits Mr. Black White against the president of the association… Now that it has involved the Supreme Council and the verdict has been issued, there is a high probability your knight status might be stripped, Captain Lucius, even potentially leading to compulsory exile.

I’m already quite thankful for your ability to help up to this point, you should do your best to disassociate yourselves from us.

If I fail to deliver the evidence to Mr. Black White, revealing the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes, Dumps and I will be taken for trial.

Mr. Black White should be able to argue for us to be banished.

As long as we are not put to death, Dumps and I living outside the city is not a problem at all.

Elder students and Abe, you get down from the carriage first… Dumps and I will follow in a while.”

“Alright…”

In such a situation, there’s no such thing as pretentiousness.

Involving the Supreme Council, even if the Captain came to intervene, it would be fruitless, such a scene is not something they could overturn… In the struggle between the bigwigs behind the scenes, the only thing they could do well, is to preserve themselves as much as possible.

Before Abe, enraged, stepped off the carriage, Han Dong grabbed his arm and whispered a separate reminder:

“Abe, don’t act on impulse… Since the Supreme Council has personally sentenced Dumps and me, there is no need to involve Captain Kaimon.

Since the president of the association is prepared,

Mr. Black White is surely also prepared, you can rest assured.”

“With my grandfather’s relationship with Mr. Black White, even if I don’t say anything, he will definitely intervene in this matter…”

Just like this, only Han Dong and Dumps were left in the carriage.

Han Dong, however, appeared relaxed, slightly rubbing his fingers, and looked up to ask Dumps: “If Mr. Black White loses in this contest, Dumps, do you have a backup plan?”

“Of course…”

“Then there is no problem, sorry for involving you.”

“What is there to talk about involvement, you are a big landlord who owns two land deeds.

There are some people who haven’t even managed to curry favor with you yet, I am not bothered… With the existence of such people in the Holy City, it’s only a matter of time before I get reported.”

Dumps, like Han Dong, was relaxed even in such a critical situation.

However, weariness was clearly visible on Dumps’ face, the side effects of controlling the ‘Rubik’s Cube’ weren’t something that could be simply shaken off.

“When do we get off the carriage?”

“Wait a moment, our people have arrived… let’s go.”

A heavy footsteps echoed from the street area, indicating the arrival of another influential force in the Holy City.

At that moment,

Han Dong and Dumps stepped down from the carriage simultaneously, smiling, not at all overwhelmed by the formidable presence of the hundreds of black knights.

A bold and somewhat oppressive voice echoed through the air:

“Hahaha! Marcus, why are you not taking care of proper business, and bringing your band of black Night Watch here… Move out of the way immediately.”

Upon hearing this,

Marcus’ face slightly changed, and a hoarse, deep voice could be heard from beneath his skull mask:

“Great Plague Chief…”

Regimental Commander Moggleny Calamity, leading three hundred elite knights from the Plague Knights, arrived at the southern city gate… Above the Knight Regiment, a black crow hovered, silently observing all situations at the city gate.

With the Great Plague Chief at the forefront,

Everyone knew very well that the Great Plague Chief corresponded to the Calamity attribute, which possessed deadly potency.

The Black Rose Knights dared not step forward to block him, but only gave way for the Plague Knights who had arrived here.

The Council members, who were bald and had their eyes stitched shut, ignored the Great Plague Chief, and loudly rebuked:

“Regimental Commander Moggleny, this arrest and escort decision is the decision of the Supreme Council. The [Black Rose Knight Regiment] is responsible for the main escort of personnel, unrelated people please leave immediately… otherwise responsibility will be pursued.”

“Council decision? Why didn’t I know… As an adjunct professor of the Mysterious Department, if my students are involved in a betrayal, shouldn’t you inform us in advance?”

“The trial tomorrow, will of course be notified to the representatives of all knight regiments and colleges.”

When the Great Plague Chief hears this, he flies into a rage, “What crappy rules, act first, report later? If you cannot produce concrete evidence, no one can take my student from the Mysterious Department away today.”

The giant axe in his hand slammed to the ground sharply,

Accompanied by a ripple dispersing, it felt as if the air at the south gate had become thin, breathing became difficult, even the sunshine covering the Holy City had lessened somewhat.

At this moment, a special person walks out of the crowd.

“The temper of the Great Plague Chief really is explosive, the expulsion order given by the Supreme Council, naturally is based on concrete evidence and facts.

The evidence is here, please, Great Plague Chief, take a look.”

The ever-concealed president of the association emerged at this moment from among the Knight Regiment, revealing a ‘European literary great’ look with curly white beard.

In his hand is detailed information sufficient to prove that Han Dong and Dumps are traitors, there are even some secret photos taken by unknown means, including photos about Han Dong using ‘Tentacles’ power in the Secret Stone incident.

When the Great Plague Chief finished reviewing the so-called evidence, he displayed a face full of disdain.

“In the text document, ‘speculative’ descriptions account for 50%, and there are a lot of illogical deductions… As for such photos obtained through a combination of magic and dye, don’t use them to cheat people.”

“Oh? Does the Great Plague Chief mean, the councillors responsible for evidence review are all incompetent? Are you questioning the highest executor of the Holy City?”

Upon hearing this, the Great Plague Chief’s heart also vibrates fiercely! He wished he could execute this person on the spot.

At this moment, the crow hovering in the sky descended, perched on the shoulder of the Great Plague Chief, covertly whispered to him, suppressing the wrath of the Great Plague Chief while telling him what to say next.

“No… what I mean is, the deductions given by Chairman Stephen are not sufficient to prove that my student is a traitor.

According to the instructions in the Supreme Charter, only ‘humans’ have basic civil rights. The ‘non-human’ Alien Race cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Holy City, and they cannot provide the council with these fictitious evidences full of lies.”

“Does the Great Plague Chief mean, I Stephen Maknovsky is not human? Hahahaha…”

Just as the president of the association lets out a mocking laughter,

“Hahaha! Ah~haha! (Manic laughter)”

Han Dong, surrounded by people, suddenly burst into manic laughter, his eyes revealing an absolute disdain for the president of the association.

Han Dong quickly reached out to cover his face, holding back his laughter.

“Sorry… I really couldn’t hold back, you guys continue, don’t worry about me.”

Han Dong’s laughter directly provoked the president of the association, who gave him a look full of killing intent.

While Han Dong merely gave a slight nod of his head, signaling the president that he should calm down…
