"Yes, it's the Yi Chen Company."

The young man nodded in agreement: "After all, they are a domestic company of the Flame Dragon Kingdom. They have a natural advantage in acquisitions, and it seems they even have the backing of the Flame Dragon Group."

"So what if they have the backing of the Flame Dragon Group?"

Ta Lina's eyes flashed with a mocking look: "Even the Vice President of Yi Chen Company had the nerve to come looking for trouble. Do we need to be afraid of them? Dare the Flame Dragon Group provoke our Holy Court? Vigorously acquire Yi Chen Company's pharmaceutical and import-export trading companies. If they refuse to sell, Lu Si, you should know what to do!"

"Yes!"

The youth responded loudly, a cruel smile flashing in his eyes.

Bang bang bang!

Knocking at the door echoed, and Ta Lina slightly frowned, calling out softly, "Come in!"

Clack!

The door to the office was opened, and a young woman in uniform rushed in: "President, people from Yi Chen Company are here!"

"So what if they are? Didn't I tell security to directly throw out anyone from Yi Chen Company if they came again?" Ta Lina snapped back.

"It's not that... They... They forced their way in!" said the woman, anxious.

Ta Lina's eyes widened: "What? Forced their way in? They've got some nerve! Who came? What did they do?"

"It was Vice President Zhou Qing from Yi Chen, who came in charging with a car, breaking through the barriers in front of the plaza, hitting the security guards, and also slapped Miss Li Si, the reception manager!" The woman spoke in a low voice.

"Bastards! How dare they! Let's go, I want to see if this Zhou Qing has the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, daring to burst into the Minghe Group like this!"

Ta Lina shouted angrily and got up heading towards the door, with cold light flashing in the youth's eyes as he followed her.

In the lobby relaxation area of the office building.

Jiang Chen looked at the three from the Holy Court expressionlessly: "Holy Court martial artists are so arrogant. Without confirming whether we are martial artists or not, they dare to use Inner Qi and make a move. Are you guys always this arrogant everywhere? Or do you think I, the Flame Dragon, am easy to bully?"

"No, no, of course not! This... it might be related to you being from Yi Chen Company!" Xi'er quickly stated, waving his hands in explanation.

The Holy Court martial artists acted recklessly in the Flame Dragon Kingdom, and whether they targeted anyone, this could be seen as the Holy Court's disregard for the Flame Dragon Kingdom.

But Xi'er didn't dare admit this point. Otherwise, this matter could escalate to an issue between the Holy Court and the Flame Dragon Group!

Ha'er and Fa'erxi looked nervously at Jiang Chen.

Martial artists making a move without confirming if the opponent is a martial artist, and doing so unreasonably, is a significant taboo. It's not a matter of creating a bad influence anymore; the act itself is exceedingly reprehensible.

Such an act can be seen as a provocation from the Holy Court towards the Flame Dragon Group. If Jiang Chen took this seriously, he could have the Flame Dragon Group step in and contact the Holy Court directly, condemning their actions. This could blow up into a big issue!

"Gentlemen, this time I will give you this face, as well as to the Holy Court. But if there is a next time, and the Holy Court's martial artists lash out at my people from the Flame Dragon without any discrimination, I will certainly not let it slide. Most of my employees at Yi Chen are ordinary people; they would not survive any attack like the one your security guards just launched!"

Jiang Chen's face was frosted over with chill as he spoke coldly.

"Yes! It absolutely won't happen again! We will definitely report this situation accurately to Chief Judge Fa Rang, and we ask Mr. Jiang to please cool down!"

Xi'er quickly tried to pacify him, and all three sighed a relief inwardly.

They knew about Jiang Chen's influence in the Flame Dragon Group. If Jiang Chen decided to escalate the issue, it might potentially bring a Supreme-level powerhouse into play, which would be a significant headache.

They understood Jiang Chen's particular situation even more than Jiang Chen himself. If he really made a fuss, even the overseer of the Flame Dragon Group, the Dragon Saint, might get involved. If the Dragon Saint decided to take a stroll to the Holy Court because of this incident, the consequences were too dire for them to even contemplate!

"The President has arrived!"

"President Ta Lina has arrived!"

"There's a good show to watch!"

"I want to see, now that President Ta Lina herself has come, whether those people from Yi Chen dare to be so arrogant!"

A hubbub of noise arose, and Jiang Chen and his companions turned their heads to look in the direction of the first floor elevator.

Tap, tap, tap!

Crisp footsteps sounded as a woman dressed in a professional suit, tall and beautiful in stature, emerged from the elevator.

Behind the woman followed an indifferent middle-aged man and a young man with a wicked smile on his face.

"Is it her? No wonder the name Ta Lina sounds so familiar!" Chief Judge Xi'er's face changed slightly when he saw the three people stepping out of the elevator, and he frowned lightly.

Fa'erxi and Ha'er's faces turned even uglier than Xi'er's, with anger even flashing in their eyes!

"What? Chief Judge Xi'er, you know her?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xi'er nodded slightly: "She is the youngest granddaughter of Deputy Judgment Chief Lu Densi."

"The two people behind her, the middle-aged man is a member of the Knights of the Round Table, and the young man is a member of the Guardian Knights!"

Fa Lan spoke with a heavy voice: "Damn it! To hell with him! He actually dares to privately mobilize the Knights of the Round Table to serve his own company, this is simply a contempt for His Holiness the Pope's authority!"

"Knights of the Round Table?!"

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, then sneered sarcastically: "The deployment of the Knights of the Round Table signifies that the Holy Court intends to take relentless and tough measures against the target, doesn't it? It seems that the Holy Court is treating me as a target for relentless pursuit!"

"No, no, no! Mr. Jiang, that was absolutely not the intent of the Holy Court, I will immediately have him..." Ha'er got scared and hastily tried to stand up.

"Mr. Ha'er, keep calm, I want to see if this Ta Lina dares to openly play the card of the Knights of the Round Table!" Jiang Chen stopped Ha'er with a raised hand.

Upon hearing this, Ha'er and the others were slightly stunned, then their expressions changed as they looked at each other and revealed a bitter smile.

Jiang Chen was setting a trap for Lu Densi; if Ta Lina really dared to openly declare that the middle-aged man was a Knight of the Round Table, that would indeed be a direct affront to the Pope's authority and a clear declaration that the Holy Court intends to take action against Jiang Chen!

In this case, the Holy Court must either dare to follow through against Jiang Chen, or they must punish Lu Densi. This is not something Ta Lina can shoulder the blame for. Without Lu Densi's consent, Ta Lina couldn't even come into contact with a Knight of the Round Table. Except on missions, the Knights of the Round Table were always training at their secret base!

And to truly take action against Jiang Chen would undoubtedly be declaring war against the Flame Dragon Group, something the Holy Court would never do.

Especially at this particular time, the Flame Dragon Group and the Holy Court had already reached a cooperative agreement, even forming an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly fight against the three major organizations.

At such a critical moment, how could the Holy Court possibly act against Jiang Chen, who is so important to the Flame Dragon Group!

It's absolutely impossible, and it wouldn't be allowed!
