...

"No news yet, but according to the time, they should be arriving soon..."

The middle-aged man also frowned and responded respectfully.

"Ah~~"

Just at this moment, a scream echoed... instantly making everyone in the room tense.

"I'll go take a look..."

A Temple Executor, dressed in a black robe behind Steve, promptly stepped forward and said, then immediately left the room to check the situation. As for the few people in the room, they became more cautious.

"You go about your business first..."

Steve frowned and gave simple instructions, which made the middle-aged man immediately turn to leave.

"Have you finally appeared?"

Steve walked to the window, looking at the dark night outside and the gradually lighting lamps in the manor, murmuring to himself.

The timing and circumstances made it impossible for him not to think in that direction.

"Sir, you should relocate to a safer place..."

Another Temple Executor frowned and made a suggestion to Steve.

He certainly knew who and what power Steve was referring to in his words, and that's why he was so cautious... It was a formidable existence that could sweep through the entire Rose Manor, something the Steve Manor's power couldn't withstand.

"As long as the Golden Knight Order arrives, no matter who the opponent is, they won't be able to escape..."

The Temple Executor couldn't help but reassure.

"Golden Knight Order?"

Just then, a man's voice quietly echoed inside the room.

"Who's there?"

The sound instantly made the Temple Executor's heart tighten, and he immediately assumed a battle stance, appearing very vigilant... A slender Knight's Sword already appeared in his hand.

But...

"Ugh!"

A shadow's speed was much faster than his reaction, the Temple Executor only felt a rush of wind, then his head buzzed as he received a heavy strike from the opponent, directly rendering him unconscious.

Though he wasn't dead, it was clear his life was no longer under his control.

And that shadow seemed as if it had never appeared, disappearing eerily and quickly, exceeding the human eye's visual range, creating the illusion it was Qin Fang striking a kill on the Temple Executor whose strength had reached Great Grandmaster Peak Level.

Of course, it wasn't Qin Fang who did it, but the Split Wind Wolf King.

While Qin Fang could knock out this Temple Executor, the opponent's strength was formidable, making a one-hit kill quite challenging, especially with the opponent prepared, the success rate wouldn't be higher than thirty percent.

By comparison, Steve and Deron appeared much calmer.

"You... finally came!"

Looking at Qin Fang's face, Steve spoke in a calm tone... He wasn't unfamiliar with this face, after the Rose Manor incident, Freemasonry had already distributed the photo to all its core members.

As one of the Four Emissaries, Diamond A, Steve had certainly seen it before...

Steve had even ordered multiple monitoring by police and underworld around Los Angeles and Beverly Hills to trace this person's whereabouts, but there had been no definitive news.

This enemy seemed to have descended from the sky without any information, and yet appeared before Steve.

"You... knew I was coming to kill you?"

Qin Fang looked at Steve's face, finding his excessively calm attitude somewhat strange.

"Of course..."

Steve was exceptionally calm, as if he didn't care about his life or death, even casually walking to the bar table in the room, intending to pick up a bottle of wine and two glasses to pour each for himself and Qin Fang.

"If you're planning to use the secret chamber in your room to escape, I advise you... best not to try!"

But at this moment, Qin Fang's slightly cold voice also reached Steve's ears.

Steve suddenly seemed to be under a paralysis spell, his body stiffened there, not daring to continue moving recklessly... Without a doubt, his little trick was seen through by Qin Fang, and his calm was merely a facade.

"It seems I've really underestimated you..."

Steve drew back his body, the awkwardness on his face gradually retreated, and he restored his previous calm, even with a faint smile on his face as he said, "But if you think this is enough to kill me, then you... are gravely mistaken!"

"Is that so?"

Qin Fang replied with extreme disdain, "You can't possibly think that those Temple Executors under you can come to save you, right?"

"NO! NO! NO!"

Steve slowly shook his head, denying continuously, "The Temple Executors naturally won't do, but... the Golden Knight Order can!"

The scene just now was with his most powerful Temple Executors, but they were still knocked down by Qin Fang in one blow. How could Steve possibly rely on these Temple Executors? Especially when there seemed to be a formidable enemy outside rampaging, the Temple Executors might not even have time to protect him.

"Golden Knight Order?"

Qin Fang was slightly stunned, subconsciously repeating the phrase.

Bang~~

Almost simultaneously, the door and walls of the room were violently smashed open, immediately followed by more than ten people rushing into the room... Among them, one person instantly stood by Steve's side, protecting him.

"Golden Knight Order..."

Seeing these people, the question in Qin Fang's mouth turned into an affirmation.

The newcomers numbered around ten, all dressed uniformly in golden armor... Even the Knight's Swords in their hands were golden, though it's uncertain if they were actually made of gold.

Of course, the answer is obviously negative!

Gold is too soft, and could not be crafted into such swords... Other metals would certainly need to be added to forge weapons like this, not to mention such a seemingly terrifying Golden Knight Sword.

In fact, the Golden Knight Sword is the emblem of the Freemasonry's Golden Knight Order.

And the Golden Knight Order belongs to one of the Freemasonry's Three Knight Orders...

Honor, Faith, Gold...

These are the names of the Three Knight Orders, whose formation dates are no longer traceable, but suffice to say they date back far, far enough... It could even be said that the European knightly style was pioneered by these Three Knight Orders.

However, as society continuously developed, so did the Freemasonry, and gradually the Four Emissaries ascended to power, while the names of the Three Knight Orders became increasingly obscure, with them becoming a hidden force within the Freemasonry.

There were even times when many believed the Three Knight Orders had long been expelled by the Freemasonry!

But now it seems, that was not the case at all... Not only have the Three Knight Orders not been expelled, but they have also become even more covert and formidable!

The current ten members of the Golden Knight Order nearly all possess Great Grandmaster Peak Level strength, and are evidently stronger than the Temple Executor lying on the ground... And the leader among them has clearly reached the Half-Step Supreme Realm.

"Mr. Steve, no wonder you are so calm... I'm afraid the Golden Knight Order's people have already arrived at your manor, haven't they? Did you intentionally lure me into a trap?"

Qin Fang's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled at Steve.

He was somewhat surprised as well, the Golden Knight Order seemed to possess some special treasure that could shield them from his mini-map's detection... Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for ten people to appear in front of him without him realizing.

Thinking of this, Qin Fang's gaze inadvertently swept across the bodies of these ten Golden Knights...

Finally, it fixed on the leader, who had the strongest strength; if there really was such a treasure, it would definitely be on him, and if Qin Fang wasn't planning to target him, who else could he target?

"Indeed..."

Steve didn't intend to continue hiding, relaxing with a proud look on his face, "Actually, after you killed Richie, the higher-ups already guessed you might come for the rest of us, so they dispatched all three Knight Orders to protect us..."

With this explanation, it all made sense.

With Richie's death, the Four Emissaries were reduced to three!

The Freemasonry naturally feared Qin Fang might assassinate the other three Emissaries, and since they did have the Three Knight Orders, they deployed one Knight Order per Emissary for hidden protection, effectively setting a trap for Qin Fang.

Steve was rather fortunate that his territory was close to Richie's, allowing him to seize such a chance...

As long as he takes down Qin Fang, even though it's the Golden Knight Order acting, Steve would also gain significant merit... With the Ace of Hearts position vacated, as Diamond A and one of the Four Emissaries, Steve had room for advancement.

So, when Qin Fang appeared, Steve not only wasn't afraid, he was rather excited and expectant in his calmness...

"Captain Allen, I'll leave the next matters to you..."

Steve didn't waste further words with Qin Fang; he had already unveiled what he could, and the unshared secrets wouldn't be revealed even though he was certain of Qin Fang's death.

Therefore, he willingly handed over the subsequent task to the leader of the Golden Knight Order... into the hands of Allen, the Deputy Commander of the Golden Knight Order who was a Half-Step Supreme Realm Expert.
