Kuroyuki Ikki silently pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the exchange on the phone.
"Wait a minute, didn't we agree that our opponent this time would be Rachel?"
"Who told you?"
Guidehara Kanata's cold voice came from the phone.
"You...!"
"Don't be too self-righteous, Lord Akaza. There is no intersection or conflict of interest between the Guide Corporation and the alliance branch, but that doesn't mean you can force me to make compromises."
The tone of the rich woman on the other side was very strong.
Everything in the alliance branch is under the jurisdiction of the headquarters, and it has almost no interests or political involvement with Neon Hometown.
That's right.
In all alliance member countries, the education and management rights of all swordsmen in the country are all controlled by the alliance branch, and the alliance branch is only responsible to the alliance headquarters and not to the governments of various countries.
In other words, even Prime Minister Neon cannot command any knife-cutter in the country!
The advantage of this is to prevent the swordsmen from becoming weapons of the government, so that the swordsmen are not controlled by secular power, and no officials or businessmen can interfere with the affairs of the swordsmen community.
Therefore, even Guidekhara Kanata cannot interfere in the affairs of the alliance.
When Akaza, a police officer who works as a swordsman, contacted her and asked her to change her opponent, she was also under a lot of pressure.
Moreover, Akaza also said that "I have contacted the news company and will publish relevant reports tomorrow", which is obviously to put pressure on her from public opinion.
Of course, this is also an opportunity for Kurogane Ikki. Regardless of success or failure, it can at least get him out of the quagmire.
Moreover, using duels to resolve disputes is also a method that is highly recommended by the other side.
If there were no accidents, it would be okay if she agreed.
Anyway, in her opinion, Daohua will not lose to Kurogane Ikki. It is true that Kurogane Ikki is very strong, but the strength gap between the two sides is still not small.
But now the matter has taken another turn.
"This time the opponent is changed to Nanxiang Jiangli, who is in the annual class. Don't knock him down!"
The rich woman's response was very domineering.
This puts Akaza in a difficult position.
If the opponent is really changed to Nanxiang Jiangli, then he is likely to offend that Dou Shen disciple. Judging from the brief exchange that day, he is probably not an easy master to offend.
He acts decisively and sharply, without any fear of his identity as a knife-wielding policeman.
"But if this thing is done well, I can be promoted!"
Akaza's eyes are gradually blinded by desire.
The use of Stella to target Kuroyukitsu Ikki was indeed planned by him, but in essence, it was under the instruction of that man - the man named Kuroyukihime!
Black iron Yan.
The current head of the Kurogane clan is also the head of the alliance branch. He is the biological father of Kurogane Ikki's three brothers and sisters.
He is in charge of all the affairs of Neon's swordsmen and is only responsible for the alliance headquarters. Even the Prime Minister has to treat him kindly. No one in Neon can make him bend!
It was he who instructed Akaza to solve Ikki's problem, so he dared to be so unscrupulous and did not back down at all when facing Miss Shushizuku!
As long as he completes the task beautifully, he will definitely be promoted and climb higher in the alliance branch!
"I want it!"
Akaza is breathing rapidly.
So what if I offend Dou Shen’s disciples?
After all, he is just a disciple, not the God of War himself, and his energy is limited!
As long as you can climb up, it doesn't matter if you offend one or two Dou Shen disciples!
"Kurotetsu Ikki! Your opponent has been temporarily changed!"
Akaza turned around, his eyes red.
There was an awkward smile on his face, with a hint of fear hidden in his pride.
"Nanxiang Jiangli has been changed to the first class of the year! Compared with Lei Qie, he is definitely not as good, but he is also a good opponent for you!"
Kuroyuki Ikki fell into silence.
Opponent changes.
Afraid?
One thing, after all, it concerns Stella.
But more of it is the excitement that gradually surges into my heart!
There is no doubt that Jiang Li is the good opponent he has always wanted to fight!
As the opponent in the final battle, there is no shortcoming!
Although it is a pity that some adult elements were mixed into the true duel, it is also an opportunity to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
He couldn't ask for more than he could have a decisive battle with him!
But why does Senior Guideyuan want Jiang Li to be my opponent?
There was something strange in Kuroyuki Ikki's heart as well.
Unlike others, his observation skills are very keen. He can see some abnormalities between the two people and know that their relationship is not simple.
But it wasn't suitable for him to talk about it, so he just kept it in his stomach.
He found it very incredible that Senior Guide Yuan would involve Jiang Li in this matter.
"Send the order, the branch chief summons Ikki Kurogane!"
"What? Father wants to see me?"
Kuroyuki Ikki was suddenly stunned.
My father, who has been away for several years and who has treated him as a transparent person since he was a child, wants to see me at this juncture?
Even though he knew it was unlikely, Kuroyuki Ikki still had some uncontrollable expectations in his heart.
Maybe.
Maybe my father also knows that I have achieved my current results and that I am about to become a representative contestant of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, and he has become able to identify with me?
Under the leadership of the staff, Ikki Kurogete walked towards the branch director's office on the top floor of the building with hope.
For a time, the heavy steps became much lighter.
…………
Pojun Academy, Operating Committee Office.
"Is this okay?"
The rich woman on the other side hung up the phone and looked at the man in front of her.
Jiang Li was standing opposite her, completely listening to the exchange between her and Akaza.
"That's enough. Thanks, Fang."
"This is just a small thing, but are you sure you want to do this?"
The rich woman on the other side couldn't help but asked Jiang Li worriedly.
Ever since she knew Jiang Li's plan, she had asked this question three times.
That's right.
It was Jiang Li's idea to change his opponent to him.
"Why, are you worried that I will lose?"
Jiang Li looked around.
At this time, only the rich woman on the other side was still in the office, otherwise she wouldn't have been conspiring loudly just now.
He simply sat on the chair of the rich woman over there, boldly picked her up, and let her sit on his lap.
"That's not what I meant..."
The other party has great trust in Jiang Li's strength.
He was able to defeat himself two months ago with the weak defeating the strong. Now that he has become stronger, he will definitely not lose to Kurogane Ikki.
In her heart, Kurogie Ikki may not even be able to defeat Dao Hua, but Jiang Li is on the same level as Dao Hua.
"But if you lose, wouldn't you miss the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival?"
The delicate and pretty face of the rich woman on the other side showed a look of deep worry.
With his current strength, he is fully qualified to compete for the position of Seven-Star Sword King. By then, she will have reason to convince her family.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Jiang Li smiled slightly when he heard this, revealing a mysterious smile.
"Who said that if you lose, you will definitely not be able to participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival?"
"Huh?"
"The mountain man has his own clever plan! Haha!"
The rich woman on the other side rolled her eyes coquettishly.
