Inside the cave where Adam once fought the Three Demon Eyes.
"Alright, that's enough!"
Yami and Jack started fighting again. Just as someone was about to unleash a Dimensional Slash without any sense of honor, the Magic Emperor, who had been hiding nearby, appeared and instantly stopped them with his Time Magic.
Not everyone can surpass their limits in a toilet.
Yami genuinely wanted to cut Jack in half.
Finral once again brought everyone back to the Castle Town. These two capricious Captains purely treated him as a tool.
"Magic Emperor, someone from the Bamiltons has been murdered!"
Just as the Magic Emperor was preparing for the commendation ceremony, Klaus contacted him with magic and sent over the gruesome image of Barton.
On the white magic screen, Barton was swollen like a pig's liver, and his originally purplish-blue skin had turned completely black.
"Is it poison?"
"The preliminary diagnosis is poisoning, but..."
"But what?"
"We've never seen this kind of poison before."
Klaus's expression was grim. Today was the commendation ceremony, an important annual event. If this matter were to be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, it would surely cause panic.
At that time, the Magic Emperor's honor would be damaged, and as the Magic Emperor's personal guard, Klaus could not allow this.
"Strange poison?"
Julius was a bit puzzled. The Eye of the Midnight Sun wouldn't resort to such crude methods; they usually go for grander schemes.
Was it a revenge killing?
"Members of the Bamiltons have arrived. They're crying and wailing at the gate, asking you to deliver justice for them."
Klaus was troubled. These people really knew how to pick their moments. Who could find the killer so quickly after an incident? The Magic Emperor wasn't omnipotent.
"The commendation ceremony is about to begin. I can't make it back now. Please appease the Bamiltons for me first."
The Magic Emperor's expression grew serious. He calmly ordered, "Investigate this matter privately. Do not cause panic. Tell the citizens at the scene not to spread this news."
"Yes!" Klaus was a bit awkward. His head always ached when dealing with these nobles.
"Have the Golden Dawn cooperate with you. You must ensure the safety of the Royal Capital. There must not be a second incident."
"Yes!"
...The Magic Emperor's worries were not unfounded. A second incident almost occurred.
The noble Balman actually harassed Charlotte, the Captain of the Rose Brigade, a true Royal Noble, who knocked him down with a single blow.
Green thorns fiercely wrapped around Balman, about to suffocate him to death, when Asta, that shorty, stepped forward to plead for him.
"Stop, if you keep going like this..."
"I kick!"
Adam had already changed back. He originally planned to look for the Black Bulls members but unexpectedly witnessed this scene.
Bang!
Asta tumbled several times, landing on the ground with a bewildered expression. Adam dusted off his pants and said with displeasure, "Asta, sometimes your so-called kindness can lead to greater sin."
"I don't understand!"
Asta immediately stood up, about to ask Adam for a proper explanation, when he saw the man's angry expression.
Asta instantly quieted down. An angry Adam was ten times... no, a hundred times scarier than Captain Yami!
"What a pity."
The green thorns still let Balman off. His two guards immediately stepped forward and dragged him away.
"You're that devil from the War Merit Commendation Ceremony!"
Sol exclaimed in surprise.
His magic power was terrifying, even more so than the Royal Family. He single-handedly took on the Three Demon Eyes. Except for the Black Bulls, the captains of the other eight Knight Orders had explicitly forbidden provoking Adam.
When some Royal Nobles felt unconvinced, they would receive the most severe warnings.
"That guy is a madman. If things go wrong, you'll die!"
When the threatened Golden Dawn members sought Captain William for justice, they received his most severe warning.
"How dare he?"
"Go try it, and you'll know."
The entire Nine Knight Orders had heard about it, but the Black Bulls members didn't take it seriously, as they knew Adam's atrocious personality best.
Charmy and Vanessa were the first to bear the brunt!
"Have I, an angel, been molded into a devil?"
Adam's shameless words even made the usually indifferent Charlotte's lips twitch slightly.
This man was just as the rumors said, becoming more and more audacious.
Adam glared fiercely at Sol, this wheat-skinned hot girl, tall and slender, her white clothes accentuating her ample figure.
"Beautiful lady, my name is Adam, not some devil."
Adam took Sol's hand and performed a gentleman's bow.
"Beautiful lady!"
Sol's body trembled slightly. With her bold personality and rough way of life, no one had ever called her a beautiful lady before!
"Adam, don't go too far."
Charlotte's cold voice came. Adam turned to look at her and said with a hint of sorrow in his tone, "Sister Charlotte, I've never been a wolf or a tiger. You don't need to be so wary of me."
"Is that so? Let go of my hand!"
"Alright!"
Seeing Charlotte a bit angry, Adam reluctantly let go of her hand. Sol was still lost in his praise, standing there foolishly stunned.
"Sol!"
"Sister!"
Charlotte's call woke up the blank-minded Sol. She immediately pointed at Adam and shouted, "You pervert, stay away from me and my sister!"
As the atmosphere grew awkward, Yami finished his work and walked over.
"Yo! Why is it so lively here!"
"Yami!"
Upon seeing Yami, Charlotte immediately feigned composure. Sol pointed at Yami and shouted, "Aren't you the number one slovenly smelly man? The Black Bulls Captain!"
"Cold Queen, is this how you train your squad members?"
"Stay away from me and my sister!"
"You're here, Captain."
Just then, Vanessa also rushed over to join the fun, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.
Adam looked around. All the unstable elements had gathered: Asta, Finral, Yami... Adam had a bad feeling!
"Let's settle this!"
Just as Charlotte was about to refuse, Sol quickly agreed, "How could Sister lose!"
"Go and settle this, Sister!"
The Forest Witch and the Cold Queen's dress-up showdown!
Finral, that old pervert, although not good with women, had many tricks up his sleeve.
A dress-up competition with magic power voting, Charlotte dressed as a witch and Vanessa dressed as a nun, a super luxurious visual feast.
"It's better when it's more private."
Although Adam also appreciated it, he was a true pervert, and he found such competitions a bit uninteresting.
From dress-up to drinking, if nothing unexpected happened, an unexpected event did occur.
"The Knight Order's commendation announcement has begun!"
"The Crimson Lion King and the new Captain of the Orca Squad have also arrived."
"All the Captains are coming! I'm so excited!"
Adam watched the citizens gathering for the commendation ceremony, then looked at Charlotte, who was passed out on the table, and Yami, who had an awkward expression.
"Such a minor matter, for such a luxurious lineup, can be ignored."
As long as the Royal Capital isn't invaded again!
A drunk Charlotte and Yami, who had been watching the commotion, successfully missed the commendation ceremony.
