Chapter 30: Jiang Lingying: Su Jing's prideful acceleration is insignificant before my time!

Kyoto.

Knight Association Headquarters.

"Do you think that so-called Dark Kabuto can defeat Su Jing?"

Shen Lingjing and Yan Qingxue have a very good relationship.

Although nominally an assistant, she is more like a best friend.

Now the two sit together, drinking coffee face to face.

And Shen Lingjing recalled the words spoken by that Chen Dao.

She was actually a bit doubtful that he would win?

It feels like a guaranteed loss!

Shining Hopper couldn't even beat Su Jing; what can the Dark Kabuto, developed by the Jianghuai Association, do! Those stats are merely mediocre even across the entire Knight Association.

Hearing this, Yan Qingxue, with her long legs crossed and a slender figure, said lightly: "Do not underestimate the Jianghuai Association."

"They have always been hiding a very big secret."

"A very big secret?" Shen Lingjing did not understand.

"Mm, they seem to have been cooperating with unknown people."

"The so-called Knight Systems like Dark Kabuto and Gatack should originate from that group, not the Jianghuai Association."

"The Jianghuai Association does not have the capability to develop a system capable of Clock Up!"

Hearing this.

Shen Lingjing frowned slightly: "That makes sense indeed. Our Kyoto Association once attempted to create a Knight with Clock Up capabilities."

"I recall it was Su Jing who proposed it; he suggested it while recovering from his illness."

"But before we could finish producing it, the Jianghuai Association had already completed systems called PunchHopper and KickHopper!"

During Su Jing's campaigns.

The Knight Association had not yet developed the Kabuto System.

But he himself was not skilled at developing Knight Systems.

Specialized matters should be left to specialized people, so while resting and recovering from his illness, he had the Knight Association develop Knights like Kabuto.

At that time, his authority was still intact, and the Knight Association complied.

But it was not yet produced.

The Jianghuai Association suddenly announced they had created the KickHopper and PunchHopper systems.

Shortly after.

Dark Kabuto, Gatack, Raiger, King Bee, Sasword, G3, and other Knights were successively developed.

The speed was simply terrifying.

Making Drivers was like making dumplings; it left the Kyoto Association's R&D department completely stunned.

This isn't right!

You guys are doing it so fast, making us look useless!

And the result was that the Kyoto Knight Association's R&D department had all their bonuses deducted, and the leaders were replaced.

At the time, it was just a feeling of surprise, but now hearing Yan Qingxue say this.

Shen Lingjing suddenly felt it made a lot of sense.

The efficiency of the Jianghuai Association in creating Knight Systems, and the perfection of the systems themselves, were all too suspicious.

"That faction is..." she asked.

"I don't know." Yan Qingxue shook her head: "Hidden very deeply."

"Then I will investigate." Shen Lingjing pondered for a moment and said.

Since it was brought up, just do it directly.

She directly called Iris.

"Iris, pull up all data on the Jianghuai Association from the last two years, no, five years; everything in detail, give it all to me!"

"Yes!"

The blue holographic artificial intelligence in front of her responded.

But Iris suddenly said: "Received a message from the Jianghuai Association, Speaker Yan, do you want to connect?"

"Hmm? A message from the Jianghuai Association?" Yan Qingxue's beautiful eyes narrowed: "Connect!"

Iris connected the message.

The next second.

A photo appeared, clearly showing Su Jing casually tossing aside the Dark Kabuto's horn.

Yan Qingxue, Shen Lingjing: "..."

"Beaten until only a horn remains, how miserable!"

Shen Lingjing couldn't help but mutter.

Then she suddenly thought of something.

If the Dark Kabuto is this miserable.

What about Yan Qingxue, who offended Su Jing to death! She instinctively looked at the other person's head.

Good news: no horn. Bad news: if she dies, not even a crumb will remain.

Yan Qingxue always felt her assistant's gaze was exceptionally presumptuous.

"How long do you plan to stare?"

"I haven't lost yet!"

"Cough!" Shen Lingjing withdrew her gaze: "Well, the Dark Kamen Rider is gone. What do we do next?"

Yan Qingxue's red lips parted slightly, about to speak.

Suddenly, the blue hologram of Iris before them spoke.

"Speaker Yan, four Speakers have applied to convene a Knight Council to discuss the matter of Su Jing!"

The Knight Association has seven Speakers in total.

If more than four apply together, the Supreme Council can be convened.

At other times, the Speakers handle their own affairs.

They rarely interfere with each other's work.

But now, convening a meeting to discuss the matter of Su Jing.

Doesn't that clearly show they don't believe Speaker Yan Qingxue can solve it herself!

A trace of coldness appeared on Yan Qingxue's beautiful face as she slowly rose:

"Let's go and see what those guys intend to say!"

The Supreme Council is held within a hall.

A white, translucent hall, shimmering with faint golden light.

When Yan Qingxue and Shen Lingjing arrived,

they found only three Speakers present.

All of them were staring at her.

There is basically no hierarchy among the Speakers.

Theoretically, they are equal.

Although in the past, Su Jing held the highest status, and Yan Qingxue was second.

But that was in the past.

Counting from Yan Qingxue's left side, the three Speakers were, in order: the middle-aged man with slightly white hair, Jiang Luo.

The old man with white beard and a gloomy complexion, Zhou Qingshan.

And Jiang Lingying, in a white waist-cinched long dress, resting her cheek on her hand with a mocking smile! "Why are there only three of you? Where are the others?"

"They are all busy with their own matters, but they have all authorized this meeting to us."

Hearing this, Yan Qingxue sat down with a stern face: "Speak, what is it?"

"Yan Qingxue, how long do you intend to hide the matter of Su Jing!" The old man with the gloomy complexion, Zhou Qingshan, tapped his cane.

"Su Jing has returned and can transform into a Rider! Such an important matter, and you didn't even apply to convene a meeting. This does not comply with the rules." The middle-aged man, Jiang Luo, also spoke in a tone of accusation.

Facing this appearance of being put on trial.

Yan Qingxue simply let out a cold sneer: "Are you afraid?"

"Afraid he will come to purge you!"

"That makes sense, after all, the way you all rose to power was not in compliance with the rules!"

"Yan Qingxue!" Zhou Qingshan immediately roared in anger:

"Do you know what you are saying!"

"If there is anything irregular about how we became Speakers, you can say it directly!"

"If you really say it, you won't be happy." Shen Lingjing, giving them no respect at all, pouted and said.

"You! Yan Qingxue, keep your people in line!"

"I know. I will keep my people in line; no need for your unsolicited advice!" Yan Qingxue cut him off. "Alright, state your purpose! If you are just here to talk nonsense, I am leaving!"

"Let's get straight to the point, Old Zhou!" Jiang Luo reminded.

"Hmm." Zhou Qingshan suppressed the dissatisfaction on his face, then spoke in a deep voice: "Regarding the matter of Su Jing."

"He killed his comrades and betrayed the Knight Association. He should face trial; that needs no further discussion."

"But Yan Qingxue, your people have failed one after another. We can no longer trust you!"

"As for the matter of bringing him back to the Association for the Riders to judge, I will handle it!"

"You? Who among you plans to go?" Yan Qingxue looked at them disdainfully and retorted.

The main enemies over in Jianghuai are the Worms.

Especially now that Su Jing has demonstrated the Clock Up ability! Without acceleration, there is no way to deal with Su Jing! Where do these guys' powers have acceleration! But just then! Jiang Lingying, who had been silent, suddenly smiled and spoke: "Of course, it will be me!"

"I have always been quite interested in the Clock Up ability of the Jianghuai Association."

"Fortunately, my ability is suitable for handling that area!"

"The acceleration ability that the Su Jing you mentioned is so proud of will have no effect on me!"

"After all... I am the one who wields the power of time!"
