The transport truck stopped in front of a warehouse area outside the Tokyo Concession in District 11.

"Wait here for a moment." Kallen opened the door and stepped out of the transport truck, turned to the driver inside and said. Then she quickly ran into the warehouse area and disappeared without waiting for the driver to answer.

After a moment, a group of men and women wearing black Knights uniforms ran out, went straight to the transport truck, and lifted the large gray canvas covering the cargo box, revealing the Guren II style inside.

"Wow, it looks great." One of the men with a red headband on his forehead said, pinching his waist.

"Where did Kallen's body come from?" At this point, the experienced fan asked a more central question.

"I'll explain it to you later, but now help me move the machine inside." Kallen shook her head and said to Shan Yao.

"Okay." Shan Dian nodded, turned around and waved to the people behind him, "Come here, help us move the things in..."

"Yes" the others responded, quickly ran to the transport truck and began to move it.

After a while, the Red Lotus Type 2 was unloaded and transported to a forklift taken out of the warehouse, and then transported into the warehouse under the operation of a member of the Black Knights.

"Thank you." Kallen walked to the cab and thanked the driver inside.

"You're welcome. If nothing happens, I'll leave. There's still work to be done in the laboratory." The driver smiled at Kallen.

"Well, goodbye." Karen nodded, closed the door with her hand, and watched as the transport truck started its engine, turned around, and drove away from the warehouse area.

The next day was Sunday, and Ashford College was on vacation. Ito Cheng, who was practicing at home, was called to Ashford College by a phone call...

"President, why bother you? Why don't you just call me to come to school on weekends?" In the activity room of the student union, Ito Cheng sat on a chair and looked at Mi Lei, who was sitting on the table with her back to him, and laughed.

Said. Not far away, Nina was still sitting in front of the computer studying her physics.

"Now, what do you think the dean's granddaughter's social status is like?" Mi Lei put her hands on the table, stretched her legs back and forth alternately, and asked.

"If she is just the granddaughter of the principal's family, her social status seems to be about the same." Ito Cheng said after thinking for a while.

"What kind of thing is that?" Mi Lei asked.

"Much better than ordinary people. Much worse than rich people. You understand the rest by yourself." Ito Cheng said truthfully.

"Hey, I knew it." Mi Lei sighed, jumped off the table with both hands, pulled a chair aside and sat down, her left leg naturally resting on her right leg, her elbows resting on the table, and her palms resting on the table.

He looked at Ito Cheng with his chin raised and said, "Hey, what do you think I can do to improve my social status?"

"I said, President, you came to me just to ask about these irrelevant things." Ito Cheng looked at Mi Lei in surprise and asked.

"Hey," Mirei's hand holding her chin fell on the table and sighed loudly.

"President, please don't act like a harem. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can." Ito Cheng's goosebumps were raised by Mi Lei's deliberate sigh.

Yes, he said quickly.

"Really." Mi Lei was shocked and asked.

"Yes, tell me, what can make our optimistic President Mi Lei become like this." Ito Cheng nodded and said.

"It should be no problem with your help." Mi Lei sat up straight, made a fist with her right hand and knocked on her left palm, laughed happily, and then said, "You know my family, right."

"The Ashford family. The family that was fully responsible for the production and research and development of knightmare when Princess Marianne was alive. However, after Princess Marianne's death, other royal families took back the production and research and development rights of knightmare, and only retained an honorary title.

Family." Ito Cheng said.

"You know very well." Mi Lei glanced at Ito Cheng and said, "Recently, due to my grandfather's health, my mother is worried about the complete decline of the family after my grandfather's death. She is helping me arrange a blind date, but I don't want to become a political marriage.

A victim. So I want to ask you if there is anything you can do."

After listening to Mi Lei's narration, you still don't know the hidden meaning of this sentence? It's nothing more than discovering his relationship with Cornelia and Euphemia during the bayou incident. I saw it.

It's just a turning point. Ito Cheng looked up at Mi Lei and said, "You should know the situation of your family. As a family that once loyal to Princess Mariana and fully controlled the production and research and development of knightmare with the support of the princess, you want to regain control of the knightmare production and research and development."

Rising and extending its tentacles into the knightmare industry again does not mean that it is enough to find a new object of allegiance. What's more, as the goddess of war, Cornelia does not have much say in the matter of knightmare. After all, these

Things are in Schneizel's hands, so there seems to be nothing you can do to escape the fate of a political marriage except finding someone to marry now."

"It still doesn't work?" Mi Lei said frustratedly.

"By the way, do you know who your blind date is?" Ito Cheng asked, looking at the gloomy Mi Lei in front of him.

"It seems to be a count from the guide technology department, his name is..." Mi Lei said.

"Royd Asbrud" Ito Cheng answered.

"Yes, that's him, do you know him?" Mi Lei looked at Ito Cheng in surprise and asked.

"If it's him, you don't actually need to worry too much about the marriage issue." Ito Cheng chuckled.

"How do you say that?" Mi Lei quickly asked.

"As far as I know, Lloyd Asbrud is a crazy person who doesn't pay much attention to relationships. Even if you are really married, it will probably be a marriage in name only." Ito Cheng explained, "And the other party is affiliated.

The director of Schneizel's special dispatch guide technical department happens to be responsible for the research and development of knightmare, so it can be regarded as in line with the aspirations of your family's rise. It seems that your family's personal connections have not lost much with the decline."

"Of course." Mi Lei said proudly. But when she thought about the upcoming blind date, she became listless again. "It seems there is no way to escape."

"Let's meet." Ito Cheng comforted, "By the way, can you take me with you on your blind date?"

"What are you going to do?" Mi Lei asked, rolling her eyelids.

"It just so happens that I have something to do and need to meet with Roy Asbrud," Ito Cheng said.

"Okay." Mi Lei tilted her head, thought for a while, and agreed.

"Thank you." Ito Cheng smiled.

In the afternoon of that day, Ito Cheng asked for leave from the college and took the rail train to Narita. Because just after talking to Mi Lei, Kallen conveyed Zero's request to meet him over the phone to Ito Cheng.

Ito Shigeto agreed to meet him sooner or later. He bought a train ticket to Narita that afternoon and rushed to Narita.

"We've arrived at Narita Station, we've arrived at Narita Station." After a while, a female voice came from the train's loudspeaker.

Ito Cheng got off the train and followed the route map on his mobile phone towards the location mentioned by Karen. It took about half an hour for Ito Cheng to leave the city and enter the mountains near Narita. Fortunately, Ito Cheng was very skilled.

There, the mountainous conditions did not affect Ito Cheng's speed at all. So he quickly arrived at the meeting point designated on his mobile phone.

At this time, the gloomy sky and the surrounding lonely mountains gave people a strong sense of depression.

At this time, the door of the wooden house not far from the meeting point suddenly opened, and Zero, wearing a black cape with a high stand-up collar and a strange hooded helmet, walked out.

"Zero." Ito Cheng turned around and looked at Zero and shouted. Seeing that Zero didn't speak, he continued, "Why are you so surprised to see me?"

"I didn't expect that the person who could provide Karen with such a performance machine would be such a young person. It's really a bit surprising." Zero replied, and then said sideways, "Come in."

At this time, Lelouch was very surprised. He didn't expect Ito Shige, who was silent at Ashford College, to have such power. For Lelouch, Kallen brought back a powerful machine inexplicably.

It's even more surprising.

"Now let's talk straight to the point." Zero said after Ito Cheng sat down.

"Of course." Ito Cheng said with his hand extended.

"Your purpose." Zero asked.

"War, preferably a large-scale war." Ito Cheng said honestly.

"Oh?" Zero nodded as if he understood, "Arms dealer..." and then asked, "Since you want me to start a war, what can you provide me?"

"Karen's body and the subsequent development parts of that body." Ito Cheng said.

"Don't you think it's a bit whimsical to let me lead people to launch a war with only one aircraft body and the investment in subsequent equipment?" Zero said.

"I don't think so." Ito Cheng shook his head and said, "Have you seen that white machine during the Shinjuku War..." Seeing Zero nodded, he continued, "The Guren 2-type is the same as that machine.

The Generation Knightmare is even stronger than that aircraft in some aspects, and its advantages on the battlefield are self-evident. What's more, the effect of an ace is not just as simple as the ace itself, he represents the hope of victory, the morale of his subordinates, and

The key to victory or defeat. You don’t want the battle situation you have worked so hard to set up to be destroyed by an inexplicable aircraft."

"So in my eyes, the value of an ace can definitely be paid as a reward for launching a war." Ito Cheng said with a smile.

"It seems that you are also someone who knows the art of war." Zero said, but he secretly guessed, "Who is this guy..."

"I can't help it. I saw a lot of this stuff back then." Ito Cheng shrugged nonchalantly.

"Okay, but we haven't seen the real performance of that aircraft yet, so we can't discuss this matter in detail until after this battle is over." Zero said.

"Okay!" Ito Cheng nodded and said, "I just want to see if you are someone worth investing in." (To be continued...)
