Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 152 The Current Supreme Ruler of City X

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, if the situation became critical, she couldn't worry about anything else. If anything happened, she would have to strike first! After all, even she would probably have difficulty withstanding a dense and continuous barrage of artillery fire.

Wu Pingtian stepped forward, his eyes wide with anger as he glared at the group of armed men and shouted, "We are members of the Knights' Association! We have worked closely with your superiors, and we are here as promised! Do you intend to break your promise and go back on your word?"

However, Wu Pingtian's questioning did not deter the other side. One of the gang leaders expressionlessly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at him without hesitation.

"What kind of Knights' Guild is this! Ever since you lot arrived here, our officers have met with one misfortune after another, almost all of them are dead! And you just came out of the building where Lord Dark King is! If anything happens to our lord, then only Lord Li Wang will be left! You won't be leaving here alive!"

Ye Chen's expression changed amidst the crowd. It turned out that when he and Tianxing left in such a hurry, they had forgotten to properly dispose of the War King's corpse! Now that he thought about it, this oversight must have been noticed by someone.

Li Yuetian saw Lin Yue standing in front of him, his heart tightened, and he reached out to grab her slender arm, trying to quickly pull her behind him. However, Lin Yue gently pulled her hand away from his: "There's no need for that, we're surrounded!"

Seeing the menacing enemies all around, Li Yuetian knew she wasn't lying. Ye Chen's gaze happened to fall on Li Yuetian, who was pulling at Lin Yue, and for a fleeting moment, a barely perceptible hint of jealousy flashed deep in his eyes.

Zhuang Changwu stepped forward and said solemnly, "I know you have a misunderstanding about our Knights Association, but your Dark King has already been possessed by a monster! We discovered this, so we came here to try to resolve the matter!"

The soldiers scoffed at Zhuang Changwu's words. The squad leader remained unmoved, "Hmph, who knows if you're lying? Maybe you're in league with the government to wipe us out!"

Meanwhile, the battle in the sky intensified, with shockwaves from the energy clashes between Kamen Rider Ginga and Hyper Kabuto crashing to the ground. Seeing this, Lin Yue knew she couldn't afford to waste any more time! She quietly gathered her power, intending to first overturn the ground beneath their feet!

"Stop!" A furious shout rang out, and another group of people rushed in from the side. As the group drew nearer, everyone could see that the leader was none other than Prince Li, Cao Shou!

"Lord Li!" Upon seeing Cao Shou arrive, the leader quickly dismounted, stepped forward, and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Why have you come?" His tone was full of awe.

It turned out that Cao Shou had been urgently contacted by Li Yuejiao. Previously, Li Yuejiao had sensed something was wrong and secretly contacted Cao Shou, informing him of the general situation. This is why Cao Shou was able to arrive at the scene so quickly.

Cao Shou's eyes were sharp. He first glanced in the direction where Lin Yue and the others were. After seeing that everyone was safe and sound, he turned to the leader and said in a deep voice, "I have investigated the matter thoroughly. This incident has absolutely nothing to do with those Kamen Riders!"

Hearing this, the minor leader was somewhat unwilling, but faced with the King's authority, he dared not disobey in the slightest. He gritted his teeth, waved his hand helplessly, and signaled his men to put down their weapons.

At the order of their leader, the soldiers slowly lowered the guns they were gripping. However, a hint of doubt still lingered in their eyes, clearly indicating that they still had reservations about King Li's judgment.

After all, everything happened after the Kamen Riders arrived.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. The battle between Hyper Kabuto and Kamen Rider Ginga had entered a heated phase. Tianxing summoned the Hundred Insect Sword, but he was gradually finding it difficult, as Kamen Rider Ginga's power seemed inexhaustible.

Just then, Lin Yue suddenly sensed something rapidly approaching Cao Shou!

Sho Changwu also sensed it, but he did so because of Zi-O's special sensitivity to Another Riders: "Be careful!"

He transformed instantly! A dark figure charged straight at Cao Shou! Zhuang Changwu's Time Limit Sword switched to gun mode in an instant! Several bullets finally hit the dark figure!

The dark figure stopped in its tracks; it was none other than Oz, the Otherworldly Being!

Cao Shou recognized the person who had arrived and fell silent: "Younger brother..."

Oz the Outcast looked at Cao Shou and burst into laughter: "What a brilliant move! My good brother! You killed my fiancée, and the other leaders are either dead or extinct. Now aren't you the supreme ruler of X City?"

Cao Shou stood there quietly, as if time had frozen. His eyes were dull and lifeless, his heart filled with contradiction and pain. Yes, he was originally just an undercover police officer who had quietly infiltrated X City.

Although his undercover identity had long been erased, his dedication and sense of responsibility remained deeply rooted in his heart. Over the years, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles he encountered, he never thought of giving up his mission.

Now, the situation has taken a dramatic turn. The organization's third-in-command, Shadow King, is dead, and the leader, Dark King, is not human; he is currently engaged in a fierce battle with a Kamen Rider in the air! Who could have imagined that, by a twist of fate, Cao Shou himself would become the de facto ruler of X City! This is incredibly ironic; fate seems to have played a cruel joke on him.

Cao Shou took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on his furious younger brother—the Outcast Oz—and said in a low voice, "Brother, this really wasn't what I wanted..."

However, Oz the Otherworld wouldn't listen to a word, his eyes burning with fury: "Stop pretending! That woman is your sister-in-law!!! How can you be so heartless? Today, I will avenge her!" Before he finished speaking, Oz the Otherworld pounced on Cao Shou again like an arrow released from a bow.

Just then, Zhuang Changwu, standing to the side, didn't hesitate to step forward and block Another OZ's attack. But Cao Shou quickly stopped him, looking at Zhuang Changwu and sighing softly, "Stop fighting, Kamen Rider..." Then, he resolutely turned around and walked straight towards Cao Yu. Every step seemed incredibly heavy, as if he were carrying the weight of the entire world on his back.

When he was only a few steps away from Cao Yu, Cao Shou stopped. Deep guilt and helplessness filled his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly as he said, "I'm sorry, brother… Although there were many things I had no choice but to do, I did kill your wife with my own hands… Let a life pay for a life…"

After much deliberation, he realized that his mission was nearing its end. He was now the supreme ruler of X City, holding the power of life and death over the city. However, if he were to perish, the entire city of X would inevitably descend into chaos. After all, it had long been a place rife with sin and darkness; perhaps with his departure, all this ugliness would vanish without a trace.

Oz, the alien, was stunned by these words. He never expected Cao Shou to utter such resolute words and willingly choose death. Despite his shock, the deep-seated hatred within him had already clouded his judgment: "Do you think that death alone can atone for all your sins?"
