The Father-in-Law Rescue Plan

"What do you mean by 'feeding someone'? Can you put it more nicely? This is called 'waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump'." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Kiana.

"And do you think this is simple? You have no idea how much I've prepared for this." Chen Luo poked Kiana's not-so-bright head with his finger and said.

"How much have you prepared for this? Chen Luo, you wouldn't have been thinking of getting... Mr. Siegfried out of you all along, would you?" Durandal asked immediately after hearing the loophole in Chen Luo's words.

Although Durandal did return to Schicksal Headquarters, she could still come back through the Bar Door.

Although it may seem like an unnecessary step, how could Anti-Entropy not know that Durandal had come to the St. Freya Academy? A little inquiry would reveal the truth.

Therefore, at the very least, Durandal should be allowed to leave St. Freya Academy in a public manner.

Otherwise, not only would the enthusiasm of the St. Freya students not be extinguished, but even if Anti-Entropy wanted to invade St. Freya Academy, it would have to think twice.

The Valkyrie Schicksal possess a combined strength of Itto, Durandal alone accounts for eight battles.

If those little white rabbits Anti-Entropy hadn't been kicked in the head by a donkey, they wouldn't have been able to invade the academy when Durandal and Rita were St. Freya Academy.

Although Chen Luo controlled Cocolia, Chen Luo did not control anyone else.

Finding Siegfried wasn't something Cocolia could do on her own; it mainly depended on Tesla and Dr. Einstein.

If nothing unexpected happens, Siegfried should be recuperating with these two Anti-Entropy elders.

Therefore, if Chen Luo wants Siegfried to come to the St. Freya Academy, Cocolia's help alone won't be enough. He needs to find a way to let Siegfried know that his daughter is in danger.

What could possibly worry Siegfried more than the sudden death of both of his daughters?

Even if Siegfried knew it was a trap, he would still come.

Both Tesla and Einstein were intelligent people who knew it was a trap, but they still told Siegfried the news.

After all, if it were just a trap, Siegfried might regret it for a while after falling into it, but if it were real, Siegfried would regret it for the rest of his life.

"No, actually, all these preparations I made were for something else. But since you're so eager to see Siegfried, let's get both things done in a bit," Chen Luo said.

In fact, Chen Luo made these preparations simply because of an accident.

Chen Luo never expected to run into Waite in Changkong City, nor did he expect Waite to try to drag Cocolia into this mess.

With these two people, to be honest, there's no need for further preparation. Even if it's a last-minute decision, these two can help Chen Luo complete the task very well.

"Then, won't my going to see my dad affect your plans?" Kiana asked Chen Luo with some concern.

Kiana isn't stupid; she just doesn't like to use her brain. Perhaps...

"Don't worry, I'm Omnipotent Traveler, it's nothing." Chen Luo waved his hand.

Chen Luo felt it was necessary for him to play the role of someone who could do anything in the eyes of these people, because that was how he could generate revenue.

Only by appearing to be the most capable will others trust you more and remember to contact you if anything happens.

Although this might turn the others into useless people, it's not a big problem. At worst, Chen Luo can support them for the rest of their lives.

Anyway, there's money to be made from Primogem.

Of course, if you're not making money from Primogem, never act like you can do anything; otherwise, you'll just become a sucker and a tool for others to take advantage of.

But who can blame them when the Primogem smell so good?

"Himeko- sensei, I'll be troubling you these next few days."

Chen Luo was drawn to the commotion in another part of Kiana's house.

Oh no, this should be Himeko's house.

On the other side of the living room, Fu Hua was talking to Himeko about something.

"It's no trouble at all. There are already so many people in the family, one more won't make a difference. But Fu Hua, it always feels a bit strange for you to call me teacher while wearing this outfit."

Himeko Murata did not object to or resist Fu Hua's move into her home, after all, Fu Hua was truly an excellent student, excellent in every way.

However, when Himeko Murata looked at Fu Hua, who was dressed in a traditional Chinese blue and white robe, she felt that she was not like Fu Hua's teacher at all, but rather that Fu Hua was like her teacher.

"I'm sorry, this afternoon my house was burgled by a thief named Madame Green Lily. She took all my belongings from my dorm room, including my communicator and all my clothes. I only have this outfit left to wear," Fu Hua said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's not a big problem. In fact Fu Hua, you look really good in this outfit," Himeko said, shaking her head.

"But I'm very curious, why did your dormitory collapse? Although you said it was because Honkai Beasts appeared, and Honkai energy was indeed detected in the St. Freya Academy, how could Honkai Beasts appear in the St. Freya Academy? What's more, all the surrounding surveillance cameras have stopped working... Could this also be the work of that Madame Green Lily?" Himeko was puzzled.

In short, what happened today was indeed somewhat surreal for Himeko.

"I don't know either. This is really strange. First, all the items in my house mysteriously disappeared while I was taking a shower. Then, a Honkai Beasts suddenly appeared and caused the entire dormitory to collapse with a light tap. It gives the impression that the Honkai Beasts is quite knowledgeable about structural mechanics." Fu Hua was also completely baffled by this.

"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. Sigh, I never thought that a single girl like me, who doesn't even have a girlfriend, would suddenly have so many people in my house." Himeko sighed for a moment.

"Oh, of course, if you really have a grudge about this, you can also ask that boy over there for help. Although I still don't know what he can do, he's the one to turn to if you have any problems." Himeko said, pointing to Chen Luo who was chatting with Durandal Kiana and the others.

"From repairing water pipes to finding people all over the world, there's basically nothing he can't do. Plus, he's an excellent bartender. Just go to him if you're ever in trouble," Himeko enthusiastically promoted Chen Luo's business.

"That man... he feels somewhat familiar, but I have absolutely no recollection of ever seeing him before." Fu Hua looked at Chen Luo in the distance with a troubled expression on her face.

Fu Hua felt a sense of familiarity upon first seeing the young man, but Fu Hua was certain she had never seen him before, at least not in the last few hundred years.

"Hmm..." Upon hearing Fu Hua's words, Himeko couldn't help but glance at Chen Luo a few more times.

Himeko actually didn't tell Fu Hua something: Fu Hua, who claimed to be from the future and whose existence had been verified, seemed to have a very close relationship with Chen Luo.

However, it seems that Fu Hua from the future doesn't want to acknowledge her current self, so Himeko didn't interfere.

"Chen Luo, someone wants to see you." After thinking for three seconds, Himeko decisively chose to give up.

"Huh?" Chen Luo paused for a moment before looking over.

Seeing that Himeko was pointing at the somewhat flustered Fu Hua, Chen Luo immediately stood up and walked over.

"Hello, Ms. Fu Hua, I'm Chen Luo." Chen Luo extended his hand to Fu Hua.

"Hello." Fu Hua shook Chen Luo's hand and nodded slightly to him.

Fu Hua

Discount: 10% off

Discount: 50% off

"..."

As expected, it happened again.

Chen Luo felt a headache coming on when he saw that one person had two different discounts.

Chen Luo also shook hands with the other Flame-Chasers, and unsurprisingly, the other Flame-Chasers did the same.

All the Flame-Chasers have two levels of favorability, perhaps representing different stages in their lives.

The first favorability rating refers to the favorability rating Previous Civilization Era, while the second favorability rating is the current favorability rating of these Flame-Chasers towards [Chen Luo].

Since Chen Luo didn't know those Flame-Chasers, the first level of favorability was just the original price.

The second level of favorability is achieved by Chen Luo in the future and these Flame-Chasers through continuous efforts to build their relationship.

At least that's how all the Flame-Chasers Chen Luo has shaken hands with so far are.

Incidentally, all the Flame-Chasers Chen Luo shook hands with had their second favorability rating reduced by 50%.

Including Brother Jie.

Oh ho, how ruthless will my future self be, not even sparing Brother Jie?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the favorability rating wasn't 50%, let alone asking Brother Jie carry the light stick, Brother Jie wouldn't even be willing to patiently wait for Chen Luo in the conference room for a few minutes.

Of course, there are exceptions.

The exception is Mobius.

Unlike other characters who have two levels of favorability under each person, Mobius has one level of favorability under each of two people.

Yes, there were two people.

This...

Chen Luo fell into deep thought.

"Fu Hua said she felt like she'd seen you somewhere before," Himeko said from the side.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I also feel like I've seen Miss Fu Hua somewhere before. We really One Sight Like Old Friends immediately," Chen Luo said with a smile.

In fact, Fu Hua's brain is currently damaged; otherwise, if Fu Hua's memory were intact, she would definitely recognize Chen Luo at a glance.

Poor Fu Hua, because of using Yu Du Chen, her memories have been wiped clean countless times.

Yes, there's also the reason he was hacked to death.

In fact, memories can be retrieved, but it requires a method. Fu Hua's brain has been completely destroyed, so she does indeed not remember some things from the past.

Let alone the Previous Era, she had very vague memories of even Cang Xuan and Danzhu.

"What a low-level pickup line." Himeko gave Chen Luo a disdainful look.

What era are we living in? Using phrases like "One Sight Like Old Friends" to strike up a conversation? If you manage to do that, I'll do a handstand and kowtow to you three times.

"I think so too." But to Himeko's surprise, Fu Hua, who was usually rather old-fashioned, actually nodded.

"..." Don't panic, as long as you don't say the oath you made, then the oath doesn't count as an oath.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Fu Hua, is something bothering you? Do you need me to help you solve it?" Chen Luo asked.

"Oh, it's like this. When Fu Hua finished training with Durandal and went back to take a shower, her house was emptied, all her clothes were stolen, and her house was demolished. And all of this is closely related to a person called Madame Green Lily," Himeko said.

"Madame Green Lily, so Fu Hua, you want to know who Madame Green Lily is, right?" Chen Luo asked.

"If possible." Fu Hua nodded.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Madame Green Lily]: Help Fu Hua find out the true identity of Madame Green Lily.

Reward: 500 Primogem + random reward

Difficulty: 3 stars

"You know what, I actually know that." Chen Luo said immediately after seeing Fu Hua issue the mission.

"Hmm?" Fu Hua raised an eyebrow.

"Actually, it's like this: I like to look into the dirty secrets of the leaders of various major powers. I happened to have heard of this Madame Green Lily. Her real identity is actually Otto, the current Archbishop of Schicksal."

"Legend has it that 500 years ago, the then- Schicksal Saintess Kallen, dissatisfied with the oppression of ordinary people by some nobles, decided to transform into the Purple Iris Phantom Thief to punish evil and promote good, and rob the rich to help the poor."

"At that time, the Phantom Thief of the Purple Iris, also known as Saintess Kallen, actually had a partner, namely Kallen's fiancé, Otto, the second son of the Apocalypse family. Otto disguised himself as Madame Green Lily to attract attention in the open, while Kallen, a skilled fighter, was responsible for robbing the rich to help the poor."

"So Madame Green Lily is Otto," Chen Luo said definitively.

"Ah, did the Archbishop of Schicksal ever wear women's clothing before?" Himeko's interest was instantly piqued.

"What? Grandpa used to wear women's clothes?" Theresa suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"If you don't believe me, you can search for it in the Schicksal Mandate database. Although it's hard to find anything, there should still be some clues." Chen Luo looked helplessly at the people in front of him whose eyes were full of gossip.

"What? Fu Hua, you don't believe me?" Chen Luo couldn't help but look at Fu Hua after not hearing the news that the mission was completed.

"I do believe what you've said, but this time, Madame Green Lily definitely can't be Otto. Otto isn't that bored," Fu Hua said confidently.

Otto's actions are generally driven by strong purpose. Although he did receive the unexpected gift from Madame Green Lily this time, it was clear that she also had her own agenda.

But if Otto wanted to give me something, he could have just said so directly; there was no need for all this beating around the bush.

"But Madame Green Lily really is Otto." Chen Luo tried to salvage the situation.

Honestly, I really helped you find Madame Green Lily, you should at least give me some reward.

Even 5 Primogem would be fine.

I did at least give you guys a little bit of gossip!

Chapter 258 Father-in-Law Rescue Plan

"Um, sorry, I wasn't clear enough. If possible, could you help me find the culprit behind this incident?" Fu Hua changed her approach.

[Ding! The task name has been changed]
