Chapter 158

Things changed so quickly that the two of them hadn't had time to react.

However, having avoided the worst-case scenario, the two of them were no longer bothered.

Whether it's holding someone accountable or making things difficult, it's better than Shirou and Wei Yanwu fighting each other.

"Then I'll..."

Seeing the others leave so quickly, Shirou felt some pressure and wanted to leave with them.

As for Isv, we'll confirm with Is; the current situation doesn't allow him to go up and properly examine what's written on those things.

"You have to stay."

Without giving Shirou a chance, Wei Yanwu interrupted him directly.

Anyone can leave here, but Shirou absolutely cannot.

Because he's the person involved.

"...Understood."

Hearing the door close behind him, Shirou had no choice but to straighten up again.

On the bright side, at least Isv was there, so it wasn't too awkward.

"Interesting."

After a long while, the Emperor suddenly threw all the documents in his hand aside.

It wasn't some highly classified information; it was just about the effects of those weapons.

Twin swords that attract each other, Spiral Sword with extremely strong penetrating power, arrows that track and kill the enemy...

If it weren't for the fact that the person's height was listed as nearly 1.9 meters, he and Isv would probably have doubted whether Shirou was the real person.

The two have such similar abilities.

What caught the Emperor's attention was the effect of one of the weapons inside, which could unleash a beam of light at extremely high temperatures that could destroy everything.

That sounds really interesting!

Wouldn't it be more exciting than fireworks if we did that at a concert?

"Well."

Seeing the Emperor's nonchalant expression, Wei Yanwu felt a headache coming on.

I wanted to light a cigarette, but unfortunately I couldn't.

"Stop sighing. You've been following this kid for so long, don't you know what kind of person he is?"

Seeing Wei Yanwu looking worried again, the Emperor mercilessly retorted.

"What if it's just acting?"

Wei Yanwu never looks at things from just one perspective, but rather from multiple angles.

If he only looked at one side of things, he wouldn't be where he is today.

"A villain who plays a good guy his whole life, do you think he's a good guy or a bad guy?"

The Emperor pushed up his sunglasses and asked.

This question surprised Shirou, who was standing to the side.

Is it meaningful to discuss this kind of topic?

When faced with the Emperor's question, Wei Yanwu refused to answer.

"I think it's enough to have it."

Leaning back in his chair, the Emperor spoke in his own way.

"I have a responsibility to the people of Lungmen."

Seeing that the Emperor was fixated on this point, Wei Yanwu said.

There are many answers to this question, but Wei Yanwu understood the meaning behind the Emperor's words.

If he questions whether someone who consistently does good deeds is a bad person, but cannot provide relevant evidence to prove it, then it is simply his problem.

A person who sees everyone as bad is unlikely to be in a good mental state.

But he certainly has to consider the worst-case scenario; that's his responsibility.

"Hmph, so you're bullying my people?"

Seeing that Wei Yanwu had finally relented, the Emperor pressed his advantage and steered the conversation back to the topic.

"You know, when faced with that Black Serpent, I would cut it down no matter how small the possibility."

After the topic was brought up, Wei Yanwu's expression became more serious.

"Looks like you've killed the wrong person, Wei Yenwu. You should know that I hate it when people mess with my people, right? If there's a problem with my people, I'll deal with them myself! But it's definitely not your place to do it."

Straightening his back, the Emperor stared at Wei Yanwu through his sunglasses and spoke.

"Of course I know, but I haven't done anything yet, have I?"

Wei Yanwu waved his hands and said.

He only scared the other party; if the other party has any problems, he will simply kill them.

As for whether this will cause a rift with Penguin Logistics... let him worry about that later.

Besides, he didn't even make a move, so the Emperor's words this time were more of a "reminder" to him.

"If you were to lay a hand on me, I wouldn't be speaking to you so calmly right now."

"You don't look calm at all right now."

"..."

Watching the two exchange verbal attacks again, Shirou stealthily moved closer to Isv.

At this moment, Isv was looking at the documents in his hand over and over again, seemingly worried that he might have missed something, completely unaware that Shirou was approaching.

"... I knew it!"

Looking at the pictures and detailed descriptions in the documents, Shirou was quite certain that the guy, Archer, had also come here.

The bad news is that he may have been wiped out by the Ursus army three years ago.

It was clearly written above that during that siege, the Red Demon of the North, wielding Golden Sword, unleashed a dazzling light and annihilated the three Blade Masters.

This triggered an avalanche that engulfed the army.

"What do you mean, 'as expected'?"

Hearing what Shirou said behind him, Isv finally snapped out of his reverie and stopped looking at the documents in front of him.

"No... it's nothing."

Shirou shook his head and said.

"Hmm... the records at the top are identical to my ability to record you, and the illustrations are also very similar. Could you really be the person in the story?"

Although he knew it was impossible, Isv still asked the question.

After all, the two have too many things in common, so it's normal to have doubts.

"No, but we do have some connection."

"Oh? Can you tell me?"

Hearing Shirou say that, Isv got excited.

"I forgot."

When confronted with Isv's question, Shirou simply shrugged and used his established persona to deflect the question.

"... Sigh, I shouldn't have relied on you. But can you use all of these things?"

Seeing that Shirou didn't want to answer, Isv sighed and changed the subject.

"Some parts won't work, but the others should be fine, right?"

After briefly glancing at the list of Noble Phantasms, Shirou didn't directly say that he could do it.

He was worried that Isv and the boss would just make him perform live. Putting everything else aside, the Projection of the Golden Sword would probably keep him in bed for a few days.

156 Was I just rejected?

And things turned out just as Shirou had expected; Is really wanting Isv to make a Shirou demonstration for him.

Unfortunately, Shirou couldn't produce the few items he wanted to see, so he had to give up on the idea.

As for the others... I've seen them all before, they're all rather uninteresting.

With permission Isv, Is took a few photos with his phone, intending to study them later.

Meanwhile, after a heated conversation between the Emperor and Wei Yanwu, it seems that they reached some dirty... no, it should be said that it was a conversation between adults.

Anyway, that string of * Longmen Curses * and * Yan profanities* just now made Shirou keep his distance.

It wasn't until the two had finished their discussion and calmed down that Shirou was summoned by the Emperor.

"Kid, you should explain things to this old dragon yourself, and he'll give you an explanation in return."

After the conversation, the Emperor also learned that Wei Yanwu seemed to have uncovered something related to Shirou.

This was a personal matter for Shirou, and he didn't intend to interfere, but rather leave it to Shirou to handle himself.

Although he is protective of his own, he won't always help Penguin Logistics handle all the big and small matters.

If he really did that, he wouldn't be the boss, he'd be a babysitter.

"..."

Although his boss was in between, Shirou still felt somewhat uncomfortable when facing Wei Yanwu.

After all, the person who just showed hostility towards you is now sitting calmly in front of you, and has even made himself a cup of tea.

It was as bizarre as it could be.

"Please sit down. What happened just now was just a test. Don't take it too seriously. It was all part of our duty."

Looking at Shirou's expression, Wei Yanwu took a sip of tea and said.

First, lower your stance. After all, you need to get the answers to many questions from the other party, and the old penguin next to you is really annoying. This is the only way to have a conversation.

If the other party had arrived even a little later, he might have finished asking the questions using his own methods.

"I understand."

Seeing the other person's expression, Shirou breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to the side. He had no intention of pursuing the matter that had just occurred.

"Tsk."

Seeing that Shirou had completely led Wei Yanwu astray, the Emperor clicked his tongue in amazement, but did not intervene in their conversation, simply watching quietly from the side.

He is now in the same pain as Wei Yanwu.

Wei Yanwu is not allowed to smoke here because of his family status.

He simply forgot to bring something.

I was in such a rush when I left that I didn't even take my toy gun, let alone the alcohol.

"Let's get back to the first question. You're from Ursus?"

Ignoring the Emperor's protests, Wei Yanwu began to ask the questions he had prepared earlier.

"Uh... no, although I don't remember how I got to Lungmen, I'm pretty sure I didn't come from Ursus. I should say I only went there once in the past during a mission, and I have no other connection with Ursus."

When asked about Wei Yanwu's question, Shirou directly denied it.

He had just witnessed that the other party had a rather inexplicable obsession with Ursus, so the best option was to simply distance himself from Ursus.

And he really wasn't from Ursus.

As for how he got to Lungmen, he had only heard a few people say that he was tied up and smuggled back to Lungmen.

When Shirou heard this, he even considered reporting it to the Knights of the Round Table.

"Not from Ursus? Then what's your relationship with the guy from Kitahara?"
