At the moment when the Knight Resolution Council had just concluded, the Star Flower Travel Corps was the force holding the most Treasure Artifact materials while mastering weapon dependency. Uh, calling it a force is still early; more effort is required.
"This is indeed a good opportunity, but what’s the cost?"
Li Ang knew that Falo wouldn’t act unless there was a rabbit in sight.
"Well, it’s all because of the ancestor’s sword, they say."
She smiled and said, "Zen Heart Flowing would naturally hand it over to those who bring back the method of Artifact forging. If they succeed, this sword will also be handed over. By then, I want an extra share from the ancestor’s Treasure Vault."
"Your language is already akin to robbery."
Li Ang felt this person seemed less like someone leaking information and truly wanted to gather the Five Swords of the Divine Artisan.
As soon as Farlonio finished speaking, a pair of long-lashed eyes suddenly widened.
It was Aira intentionally or unintentionally drawing out the Shocking Divine Soul Light, unsheathing the sword, and slowly appreciating it.
The Merchant Douding approached, wanting to admire it, but saw Aira put it away.
"Not daring to let me see it means it’s a fake," Falo said angrily, stomping back.
Looking at it now, the goal of collecting the Divine Artisan’s Five Swords seems very promising, only missing the ancient ruins where the Destiny Cold Wave was lost.
"When do you plan to let us find the Dome Furnace Association?" Li Ang asked.
"The gathering is imminent, all the grand artisans of the Holy City are in town, so tomorrow’s fine."
That’s just right; let’s handle things today.
After agreeing with Falo, Li Ang and his group left the Treasury.
He asked the young girls to return to the inn to rest first, while Li Ang still needed to visit the Order Sky Knight Corps Headquarters with Aira.
The young girls didn’t fuss; aside from Zoe who was in a decent mood, the other three were somewhat silent. Li Ang suggested they could go shopping and relax, but they showed little interest.
Li Ang sighed, not expecting one matter to unravel many more upon return.
Upon reaching the Order Sky Knight Corps Headquarters, Aira led Li Ang to the prison.
Yesterday, he visited the bank, where Aira had detained a manager, and at night investigated the Fairy Dragon’s breakthrough of the Arcane Shield event, discovering a gangster hideout. These people were brought back by the Order Sky Knight Corps for questioning.
Regarding the bank, the elite order knights of the Holy City obtained answers overnight.
Even though the Soul Apex Corps leader petitioned, the bank had no evidence and dared to freeze Li Ang’s personal account, using the guise of investigating embezzlement. This act, along with the continuous freeze afterwards, was against regulations.
The Order Knights initially thought this was an internal dispute among the Soul Apex, relying on Yusef’s second-seat power to overpower others.
However, they discovered some issues during the Fairy Dragon incident.
The gang that hid the Fairy Dragon’s breeding ground, even resorting to harming many people to provide nutrition for the Dragon Egg, was called the Iron Fist Brotherhood.
This was a gang organization that had risen in recent years. The Order Knights learned about the Iron Fist Brotherhood leader’s whereabouts through informants in other gangs and swiftly apprehended him.
This person possessed tier 7 strength, with a firm will that couldn’t be cracked open.
Aira thought of Li Ang, as she had seen him use Spiritual Driving before.
Sitting in front of the gang leader, he was a dark-skinned, coarse-skinned, lean man, not resembling a native of the Holy City, but more like someone from hot regions.
Li Ang wasted no words with him, directly starting to erode his Spiritual Structure.
Previously, dealing with Fukate meant being deliberate and slow, and needing to report to the Order Sandstorm Corps, but with such murderous criminals, Li Ang felt no hesitation. He was very skilled in using Spiritual Driving, directly increasing Magic Power output to pull at his Spiritual Structure.
"It might take some time, want to go somewhere else to rest?" Li Ang smiled at Aira beside him.
"It’s fine," Blondie Douding relaxed her expression at him, "I’m fine right here."
Just as Li Ang finished speaking, the gang leader’s Spiritual Structure burst like a balloon.
He was momentarily stunned, looking at his left hand.
Earlier, while seemingly talking to Aifei, he subconsciously pinched something.
But in front of his hand, there was nothing; he was simply casting at the gang leader.
When he looked again at the opponent’s Spiritual Structure, the complex structure appeared as if it had been pierced by a sharp spike, all Spiritual Structures destroyed.
"Is this Spiritual Piercing?! Was it me who did this?"
Li Ang pulled up his sleeve in disbelief. At the elbow, a second spike protruded through the skin.
Meanwhile, the dark-skinned man slumped his head, indistinctly began to utter keywords.
"Dragon... Yusef second-seat... bank..."
