"Mo Di, we still haven't found that item."
The Mages of the Diamond Kingdom, thieves who betrayed their kingdom to come to Clover, had turned the manor upside down but still couldn't find the item Mo Di was looking for.
"Keep searching!"
Mo Di's eyes were bloodshot, his face ferocious, like a demon returned from hell.
"Yes!"
Seeing Mo Di in this state, the thieves immediately continued their search. They'd rather turn the manor inside out than cross their boss.
"How is this possible..."
Mo Di couldn't understand. The transparent orb in his hand clearly led him here, so how could it not be here?
To obtain that treasure, he left his home and came to the Clover Kingdom, enduring for many years, even killing Latin's parents and using all his resources, yet he hadn't even found a trace.
"Mo Di, Latin's parents are dead. What's the point of keeping him alive?"
Aisha, dressed in a maid's outfit, swayed her hips and nervously rubbed her hands as she slowly walked towards Mo Di.
"I've already killed his parents. Killing him too feels a bit cruel."
A hint of sadness appeared on Mo Di's face. This notorious villain was actually shedding crocodile tears.
"His father was my benefactor."
"Mo Di, you are truly a paragon of gratitude!"
Aisha's delicate appearance made Mo Di a bit restless. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he would definitely indulge himself first.
"Bang!"
"Wait until tonight, my little darling."
Her swaying hips, that little hussy, truly lived up to her reputation.
"Then I'll get all cleaned up... Ah!!"
Aisha's chest was pierced by a golden electric spear, and a powerful current flowed through her body.
"Latin."
Mo Di's eyes were wide, his body trembling uncontrollably. He stared at the scene before him in shock, finding it hard to believe.
"Butler Mo Di, still doing well, I see~"
The violent current electrocuted Aisha, turning her charred black. With a thud, the woman fell straight to the ground. Behind her was Latin, returned from hell.
"How could you..."
Mo Di suddenly froze. He seemed to realize something and shouted with a ferocious expression, "You got that treasure?"
"Treasure? I suppose so..."
"Die! Storm Magic: Wind Knight's Cloak!"
Mo Di's entire body was enveloped by a storm, forming a knight's cloak. Wielding a longsword conjured from wind magic, he charged straight at Latin.
"If you're in a hurry to be reborn, I'll grant your wish! Thunderclap!"
...Inside an alley in the Royal Capital.
Zacks, the Vice-Captain of the Orca Knight Order, was defeated by Zora of the Black Bulls Squad.
The red-haired man, who loved pranks, stole Zacks's cloak. He intended to impersonate the Orca Vice-Captain to participate in the Royal Knights selection.
At the Royal Knights selection venue.
"Noelle, don't be nervous~"
Early this morning, Noelle burst into Adam's room. The girl, acting uncharacteristically, woke up a sleeping Adam and made him accompany her.
"Don't worry, I'm not nervous."
Noelle stared intently at Adam, making the thick-skinned young man a bit embarrassed.
The assertive Noelle, such a strong contrast, he loved it.
"Noelle, is there something on my face?"
Adam's expression was a bit unnatural. What was wrong with this girl?
Usually, he was the one staring at Noelle, but this time, the situation was completely reversed.
"I have to keep a close eye on you."
Despite Noelle's calm expression, she was actually extremely flustered. Last night, Adam must have been with a woman; the ring on his right index finger had moved to his ring finger.
There was also a long, reddish-brown hair on his clothes. Adam must have... Noelle's face flushed. She wasn't Adam's woman yet; was she being too nosy?
Adam blinked. Was this girl like Leona too?
Had it come to that?
"Damn Noelle, does she think she can get away with anything just by basking in this man's glory?"
Solido, hiding in the distance, stared at Noelle with hatred. He didn't want his sister to have an easy time.
The Silva family had no need for failures.
"Welcome, everyone. The Royal Knights selection exam officially begins..."
Before the Magic Emperor could finish speaking, the lewd-looking King preemptively interrupted, "I will explain the exam rules. The content is team combat..."
"Boring..."
This had nothing to do with Adam. He had been so exhausted from last night's antics and waking up so early this morning.
The rules were simple: Three people would be randomly grouped together to attack the enemy's magic crystal. The winners would advance to the next round until a champion was decided.
Although the rules were simple, for the muscular Asta, it was like listening to a scripture, almost burning out his brain.
Also, Finral, that flamboyant guy, this wasn't a blind date, but he still got a new hairstyle. Magna and Luck didn't even recognize him.
"Next, we will announce the team roster."
A white light screen appeared before everyone. Adam searched carefully and finally saw Noelle's teammates' names.
"Noelle, you're set. That arrogant Yuno is in your group," Adam said with surprise.
"Adam, it's not good to badmouth people behind their backs..."
Yuno walked over with a cold expression. Before he could say anything, the Wind Spirit flying beside him angrily shouted, "You rude fellow, don't you dare speak ill of Yuno!"
"This little thing, at first glance, it's quite cute."
Adam grabbed the Wind Spirit's wing. A strong desire for exploration pushed him to uncover the Wind Spirit's secret.
"Pervert!"
"Adam, let her go..."
Yuno was speechless. This guy, who had always used the excuse of 'training' to take advantage of Lily since childhood, hadn't changed at all.
"Like a twig..."
"Big bad guy, Yuno, look at him."
"Sorry, I'm late."
While Adam was causing a commotion, Zora, impersonating Zacks, jumped directly from above the arena to beside the Magic Emperor. He playfully put his arm around Julius and said, "But our Magic Emperor won't mind a little lateness."
"Don't be rude."
Klaus shot a magic orb, but Zora did a backflip and jumped down from above.
"This guy is quite interesting."
Everyone denounced Zora, especially Asta, the Magic Emperor's number one fan, who was roaring with anger.
Adam looked at the strange man covered in bandages and showed a hint of appreciation. This mischievous guy had some character.
"Now, everyone, head to the examination hall."
Kobe, the Magic Emperor's attendant Mage, summoned a giant portal, much larger than Finral's.
"Everyone, please enter!"
