Chapter 277.2: Zero Knight Order

What is required of the Zero Knight Order is absolute discipline. Aside from their ability, the Imperial Guards, who often work at the Emperor's side, are obliged to fulfill his orders with a resolute attitude under any circumstances.

In that sense, Hugh was too light. He must be talented since he graduated from the academy at the top of his class. He was slender but had a good physique, had a fine face, and I heard that he was a bit flashy in his relationships with women. He has probably been praised by those around him and has hardly ever fallen behind. In a sense, showing his boldness directly in front of my face, the leader of the Knight Order, is admirable, but unfortunately, for a while now, I have had enough of this boldness, probably because I have been dealing with Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) for some time.

What should I do? Franz stared at the rude junior for a while, but he eventually nodded heavily and said.

Hmph I see. Well then, Hugh, I have a mission for you, the confident man that you are. You are to go to Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) side and put your pride on the line by squeezing information out of him. Stay with him for a while and work with him. Don't tell me you can't do it?

Well, if you think about it in that order, it would probably not go well. In terms of age, Hugh and Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) are of the same age, but their experience, abilities, achievements, and everything else are too different. The position of being at the top of the academy is also useless in this situation.

In terms of boldness, that man who does his escort mission in a patterned shirt is far bolder and his relationship with women is also far more flashy as it seems that he owes a lot of money to his childhood friends. It makes no sense. If there is only one thing that deserves recognition, it would be his fearlessness. If he can talk like that to Franz, the leader of the Knight Order, then he will not falter even against a Level 8.

Having one newcomer like this would not lighten the burden on Franz and his subordinates. Then it would be better for them later if they knocked that confidence out of him from the very beginning.

At Franz's words, Hugh's eyes widened for a moment, but he quickly made a thin smile. But his eyes were not smiling. What lies in the depth of his eyes wasA burning ambition. A body and spirit full of vigor. Is this what youth is all about?

Hugh showed his thanks with respect and with a somewhat exaggerated motion.

I humbly accept your order, "Commander Franz (Franz-Dancho)". I, Hugh LeGrand, will do everything in my power to help you rest easy. (Hugh)

As the Clan House building comes into view, he becomes more alert. He slows his stride, catches his breath, and his expression becomes serious. The *pikapika* shiny polished glass reflects a handsome young man in the armor of the Zero Knight Order.

The "Commander (Dancho)" told me to go and squeeze some information out of him. But if things were that easy, the "Commander (Dancho)" wouldn't have been bothered so much. What Hugh has that other nobles don'tOr rather, what nobles have that Hugh doesn't. It is pride. The other party is not someone who can be dealt with authority, money, or force. Because he misread this, "Commander Franz (Franz-Dancho)" had been unable to obtain anything even though he knew he had the information.

That is why Hugh will become someone incompetent. He will put aside his temporary pride and seize his glorious future. Cooperating with a powerful Hunter in this case will help Hugh in the future.

On the surface, he was calm, but on the inside, he felt like he was going to the battlefield, when suddenly the door to the Clan House opened, and a tanned pink-blonde woman came out. She opens her eyes involuntarily.

It was a woman with long pink-blonde hair tied high on the back of her head. With healthy tanned skin, her slender body looks delicate but it harbors strength behind it. Her dress, which was very revealing, is a perfect example of the Thief's attireThere is no doubt about who she is. That is Liz Smart, the Absolute Shadow (Zetsu Ei), one of the Party Members of Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka), feared for her merciless execution against her opponents.

It seems that luck is really on my side. If I can gain Absolute Shadow's (Zetsu Ei) trust, I will be much closer to accomplishing my mission as she is his Party Member and childhood friend. In addition, Hugh has a bit of confidence in his ability to handle women. Aside from his intelligence and martial prowess, his good looks are one of the few strengths Hugh inherited from his parents. Treasure Hunters tend to be stern men, so a sweet mask would be a great weapon.

I can do this. I can do it by talking to her in a gentlemanly manner. Even if she says I am harsh, there will be no problem if I praise Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) in front of her.

I take a deep breath and approach while making my best smile. Liz *pitari* pauses and turns to Hugh.

And then, Hugh's consciousness was cut off.

Thanks for reading! Sasuga Liz, knocking down an Imperial Guard without any warning! I can already see Crys face, praising her (Internally: Im gonna puke)
