Although she felt that what he said might actually make some sense, it was still weird for you to say it like that!

Take this punch from me!

"If you keep doing this, I'll get angry!" Himeko quickly stepped back to dodge a punch.

"Come on, get angry."

Ragna looked completely unconcerned.

I think you've gotten too cocky with your Godkiller Armor. Have you really forgotten who the strongest member of the Stormtroopers is?

Come on, get angry! If I don't beat you into a caterpillar today, I'll add the words "Muliangta" to my name!

Why is it so noisy outside?

Elinor, who was organizing the documents, frowned.

"Is someone storming headquarters?"

"It sounds like a fight has broken out..." Bianka listened carefully for a while, a thoughtful expression on her face, "But it doesn't seem like an attack on headquarters..."

"Kira, go and see what's going on outside."

Cecilia gave the order to Shigure Kira, who was baring her teeth at her husband.

"Yes!" Shigure Kira saluted Cecilia, then glared at Siegfried before turning and leaving.

"... Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, when did this guy escape?"

Liu Bai, who was consulting the Schicksal Documents, looked at Shigure Kira's back with great confusion.

"It seems she came out of the Sea of Quanta with Dr. Schrödinger, but later it was said they parted ways... I don't know why Ms. Shigure suddenly reappeared."

Bianka stroked her chin thoughtfully for a moment before answering.

"Oh, they came because they smelled it." Liu Bai glanced at Cecilia, seemingly understanding, which made his mother-in-law quite embarrassed.

"I don't know why this child is still the same after all these years..."

"What do you mean 'still the same'? It's clearly worse than before!" Siegfried complained while tidying up the bookshelf. "I thought we had barely reconciled back then, but today, just now, I felt like she wanted to tear me apart."

"..." Liu Bai shrugged, indicating that he didn't understand this matter either.

"Maybe it's because of our daughter..." Cecilia seemed to understand something, "Who told you, as her father, to abandon our daughter for so many years?"

Shigure Kira didn't know Bianka was the captain's daughter, which was one thing, but now that she knows and understands the background of the name change, even if Siegfried had his reasons, Shigure Kira Siegfried still dislikes him!

Don't forget, Shigure Kira was also one of the people who witnessed Kiana's —now Bianka's —birth.

"...Alright." Siegfried sighed, acknowledging the reason.

"Ancestor, some documents from four or five hundred years ago are missing here," Cecilia called out to Elinor as she sorted through the documents.

"I'll say it again, I'm just an adopted daughter of the Schariac family, I have no blood relation to you, and I'm not your ancestor,"

Elinor's eye twitched. "As for those documents, they are historical documents. Lord Otto personally revised the five hundred years of history, so we don't need to worry about them... But why do you suddenly want to consult these documents, Your Lord God?"

"Let's trace the footsteps of Previous Era," Liu Bai said casually. "Just take a look around."

Now, both Mei and Kevin's memories have been partially obscured. If Liu Bai wants to explore the more detailed history of the Previous Era, he can only try his luck by searching for the ancient documents of Schicksal.

"Shouldn't the bishop know a lot about this? Why not just ask her?" Cecilia looked at the room full of documents and felt a headache coming on.

"On the contrary, Lord Otto never cares about these things."

Elinor looked at Liu Bai with respect.

"The reason these things appear at the current Schicksal Headquarters is largely due to human inertia, rather than because Lord Otto really values these documents. After all, the Imaginary Archive can provide technical support, and as for the precious ancient relics... namely the God Key, Schicksal has mainly been collecting them along the way over the years."

As for where Otto's heart lies, those who know, know...

Chapter 342 Siegfried, the waters here are very deep, you can't handle it.

Siegfried and Cecilia thought about it and nodded in agreement.

They hadn't realized it before, but after Elinor said that, they realized that over the years, Schicksal had only added a second and Fourth Divine Key God Key.

"Actually, when Ain and the others were looking for Eden... Eden Star, Otto might have already foreseen it."

Liu Bai thought for a moment and added, "But these are all old, trivial matters, there's no need to discuss them."

"Old stale stuff that's even older than me..."

Cecilia sighed.

She felt that the world was getting crazier and crazier. When Dr. Mei, Gray Serpent, and Otto pulled her out of the hibernation pod, Cecilia felt that almost twenty years had passed since she came out, and she could be considered an elder.

But once it actually came out... sigh, what kind of monsters and demons were these?

She's only in her forties with her dormancy period, and she's practically an epic Valkyrie. Yet, after going through Schicksal, she's been addressed as "senior" seven or eight times, "ancestor" two or three times, and some are so senior that she doesn't even know how to address them...

Although Cecilia isn't the type to care too much about seniority, she can't help but encounter too many monsters and demons in her Schicksal lately.

Yes, of course, the biggest monster is my son-in-law...

Cecilia gave the large doll flipping through a book on the table a strange look.

Logically speaking, Liu Bai is undoubtedly his son-in-law, but according to another part of the logic... this guy can claim to be his great-great...

Cecilia thought about her two daughters again. It wasn't that she didn't want to lend a hand, but she really couldn't help with this.

If Liu Bai were an ordinary young man, his mother would have simply put on a stern face and started calling him "son-in-law," directly pushing both sides together to settle things.

But the problem is that Liu Bai is no young man... One second she's calling Liu Bai her son-in-law, and the next she's surrounded and beaten up by a group of people.

The strongest Valkyrie of the previous generation of Schicksal? You're kidding, there might even be the strongest Valkyrie of the generation before Schicksal among the people who beat her up.

The charge might still be disrespecting elders...

Cecilia looked at her own thin arms and legs and thought that she didn't need to do such a thing. Her children and grandchildren would have their own blessings. Cecilia also thought that her two daughters were a package deal, and there might be a bunch of freebies next to them. It was impossible for her to be completely outmatched by others, right?

"Lady Cecilia! I'm back!"

Shigure Kira ran back from outside at that moment.

"There's a large-scale brawl going on outside right now."

"...?" Cecilia raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Are all young people these days so wild? They're already daring to start a brawl right in front of Schicksal Headquarters?

"... Who's fighting whom? The Stormtroopers? Or the Unfading Blade? Or are these two fighting together? Or are they both fighting someone else?" Liu Bai slowly put down the book in his hand, his expression quite strange.

"How do you know so much about this, Alliance Leader?"

"I had only pre-set this scenario in my mind."

Liu Bai calmly faced his mother-in-law's strange gaze, "Anyway, the style of Schicksal has already collapsed, so it's good to make some preparations in advance. If there's a brawl within the Stormtroopers, Miss Shigure, you go find Reanna. If it's a brawl between the Unfading Blade, Bianka, you go break it up. If it's a brawl between the Stormtroopers and the Unfading Blade, Elinor, you go and hit Otto with a brick. If they're fighting someone else together, you tell the leader to come find me."

Cecilia & Siegfried & Shigure Kira & Elinor & Bianka: "..."

"For the first time, I feel like this guy isn't actually a freeloader who became the Alliance Leader of the alliance..." Siegfried shrugged dejectedly.

"You're such a busybody. Will you die if you don't talk?" Cecilia pinched her husband's soft waist.

You like to speak ill of the Alliance Leader behind his back; you'll get beaten up if you go out like this! Can't you see my ancestor is already watching you?!

"An internal conflict within the Stormtroopers? Shouldn't we go find the veteran, Reanna?"

"Looks like it's an internal battle within the Stormtroopers." Liu Bai nodded. "Then it must be Himeko's here... I thought it would be Ragna and Otto teaming up to beat up Rita."

"Rita ..." Bianka seemed thoughtful upon hearing Liu Bai's words.

Although she held a blessing attitude towards this matter, it did not mean that she was happy. She was just a little slow to react to big events. In terms of quick thinking and decisiveness, Bianka was actually no less than anyone else.

Of course, Bianka wasn't planning to pick a fight with Rita —even though Rita had betrayed their alliance to eat alone.

Bianka realized something else from Liu Bai's words—maybe a lot of people were preparing to pick a fight with Rita.

"If it's an internal conflict within the Stormtroopers... then Himeko will probably arrive? Most likely, Himeko and Ragna will fight first, and then the rest of the Stormtroopers will join in the fun and maybe even sabotage things, or perhaps they'll sabotage things and just join in the fun..."

"You are truly a prophet."

Shigure Kira looked on with admiration.

Liu Bai waved his hand and sighed, "I just used to hang out with Himeko in the assault team, and I haven't completely forgotten what those crazy single women were like... Come to think of it, they weren't single women back then."

"Then I'll go find Senior Reanna."

Shi Yu Qiluo bowed to Liu Bai, Shigure Kira, somewhat reserved yet impatient, scurried away.

"But I really didn't expect it to be Himeko..." Liu Bai watched Shigure Kira leave, stroking his chin and muttering to himself, "I didn't expect those guys to go and inform Himeko? Was it Tesla or Edison who did it?"

One is a bit dim-witted, and the other is the kind of person who, if someone makes me unhappy, will make them unhappy in return.

"By the way, Liu Bai, do you think a lot of people will cause trouble for Rita?" Bianka asked abruptly.

"Definitely."

When this question came up, Liu Bai scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed—after all, he was an accomplice in this matter.

"When people are angry, they need an outlet, right? The best outlet is definitely to beat up the person involved, but they won't beat me up... um, you know."

Bianka thought about it and realized that what he said made sense.

"Can't be stopped? While Rita certainly deserves punishment for what she did, with so many people causing trouble... Rita be spending a long time in the infirmary, won't she?"

"I've already tried my best to stop it, otherwise why would I have called your parents over?"

"?"

Bianka looked at Cecilia and Siegfried with suspicion.

"Alliance Leader, you've wronged me." Cecilia smiled wryly. "Why would I cause trouble for Bianka's friends, especially given my seniority..."

"Look to your side," Liu Bai gestured to Cecilia, indicating that she didn't need to argue.

"..."

Cecilia suddenly fell silent, realizing something, and turned to look at her husband with a disappointed expression.

Her husband was casually tidying up the bookshelf.

"Here you go, Cecilia, this is the remote control for the main gate." Elinor handed over the remote control for the library gate with a cold, businesslike expression.

This caused Cecilia, who was about to say something, to freeze in place.

She was ready to give her husband a good scolding, but then, oh dear, you handed her the remote control...

Cecilia couldn't refuse something offered by her ancestor!

So Cecilia could only take the remote control with a stern face, and then shove it into Siegfried's hand...

"Honey, you decide what to do."

"Lady Elinor, this..." Siegfried held the remote control and tried to force a smile.

"You're looking for Kallen?" Elinor asked, turning her head as if she hadn't heard her clearly.

"... It's okay, I'll kneel."

Upon hearing about finding his ancestors, Siegfried, this middle-aged man, was also intimidated. Unlike Elinor and Cecilia, who were not related by blood and could only be hinted at with a remote control, Kallen and he were genuinely related by blood.

Kallen really hits him with something, then... how can he possibly resist?

A counterattack, then have Kallen bring back Kevin? Do you think this is fighting a boss?

Even a grown man needs to be more discerning!

Faced with the choice between fighting the boss and accepting his fate, Siegfried decisively chose to accept his fate—well, just to give his wife's ancestors some face.

"Dad..." Bianka sighed, realizing that her childhood antics were indeed a direct result of her father's influence.

"Don't make that face. I'm protecting you so you don't end up in the infirmary tomorrow." Liu Bai calmly said, looking at Siegfried's "my ancestors died" expression. "If you get involved, you'll definitely get beaten up too."

"How is that possible?"

Siegfried looked incredulous.

"Ah... let's put it this way." Liu Bai patted his head, looking at Siegfried with concern, "Siegfried, in your eyes, what kind of trouble this time is it?"

"Of course, we'll all team up and take turns beating that girl up. For my daughter's sake, I'll make sure it looks like I'm hitting her the hardest, but actually I'll hit her the lightest!"

Siegfried's reason for picking a fight was simple: although I couldn't stop my daughter from being taken advantage of by a pig, that was no excuse for you to steal my daughter's first soup. After all this, how could I, as her father, not do something to show my respect?

—Yes, Siegfried was still a little unhappy, but he had accepted the situation between his daughters and Liu Bai. After all, his family owed Liu Bai so much that they could never repay it. Now that both parties were in love, he simply went with the flow.
