"What are you yelling about! He has so many female confidantes, he can't even take care of them all, why should you worry about it?"

At the same time, the Red-haired Mature Woman felt a pang of jealousy and muttered to herself.

I've already been burned by him once, and you're still joining in? Can't you be a little more careful?

Besides, I arrived first, so why was I the last to know his identity? Can't there be some order to things?

It seems like that jerk and I are the ones dating. He cheated on me right in front of everyone—that's outrageous! He didn't even invite me along; he's utterly shameless!

The older single woman grew increasingly angry. After throwing the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) bag into the trash can, she turned around, pressed her hand on Fu Hua's shoulder, and kissed Fu Hua's left cheek with lightning speed.

If they dare to cheat on me, I'll cheat on them! I'm not afraid of anyone!

Murata Himeko, carrying out her vicious revenge, sneered smugly, dragging her pet cabbage along as she continued her "world of two" with Fu Hua.

At that moment, in the alleyway castle, Kevin, carrying chocolates and roses, knocked on the door. Just as the door was pushed open, a whistling rocket slammed into the lawn in front of the man.

Fortunately, the spatial barrier that Kevin created on its own dispersed the shockwave.

Ada, carrying a rocket launcher on her shoulder and two HS2000 rifles at her waist, walked over with a smile, emanating an invisible chill that inexplicably sent a shiver down Kevin's spine.

"It's good that you're here. I was just looking for you."

This woman is a bit like a fox, but she's not some mindless, raging vase. So who dared to provoke her? I've been behaving quite well lately, haven't I?

But as Ada beckoned and the two figures walking hand in hand out of the living room appeared, Kevin's breathing quickened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I heard you approved of their marriage?"

At this moment, Yae Sakura and Kallen looked grateful and shy.

And, by sheer coincidence, they were standing right where Bishop Otto had his ashes scattered...

Section 702 I'm feeling unwell and need to take a leave of absence.

My rhinitis has flared up again. I feel unwell today, my head is foggy, and even after taking medicine, I still feel sleepy. I slept for four or five hours during the day, but it didn't help. I really can't take it anymore, so today's update will be postponed.

However, the updates will be made up. From Wednesday to the weekend this week, there will be three extra chapters in addition to the two updates per day.

So far, the author has kept his word and has basically paid back what he owed. I'll try my best to update more chapters to make up for it when things get better tomorrow.

Chapter 671, Section 703: Go for it, Lord Otto!

In Canghai City, on the balcony of an ancient castle, two people sit facing each other.

Kevin, with a calm yet somewhat helpless expression, recounted his true past and the entanglement between Kallen and Yae Sakura.

Ada sipped her tea, her eyes slightly raised, and her pupils reflected the figures of the two people chatting on the grass, causing her to feel a pang of jealousy.

"So, you unintentionally sold Kallen out?"

"It was just a joke. Once you agree, can't you go back on your word?"

Kevin poured Ada a full cup of tea without any hesitation, pursing his lips as if he didn't care.

"Of course, although she has my genes, you are the one who truly raised her for ten years. Matters like marriage should have been discussed with your opinion."

The gloom in Ada's eyes gradually dissipated, and she was quite satisfied with the man's sensible nature.

"Do you think we should try to bring them together?"

Immediately, having confirmed her dominance, Ada looked at her daughter, who was playfully teasing the little fox, and Yae Sakura, and a sense of parental anxiety welled up inside her.

Kevin tapped the table, thought for a moment, and then spoke to dispel Ada's concerns.

"Actually, I don't think the feelings between Kallen and Yae Sakura were what you call love..."

"Five hundred years ago, when they met, Yae Sakura's younger sister Yae Rin, was offered to the gods as part of a human sacrifice ritual in Shinano..."

Regret, guilt, and sorrow—these complex emotions coalesced into a knot in Yae Sakura's heart, but the appearance of the fallen Kallen filled the void in this shrine maiden's soul...

"As for Kallen, she's hardly ever seen a man in her life. Her only arranged marriage partner was a clueless blockhead with a rather immature mind..."

"So, her longing for playmates and friends far outweighs her desire for romantic love, understand?"

"Perhaps the bond between them is more about family and friendship than romantic love..."

"However, amidst numerous crises, this sense of dependence and trust is amplified a thousandfold..."

Ada got up and picked up a psychology book from the bookshelf, her fingertips gently turning the pages, lost in thought.

"The suspension bridge effect? That seems to make some sense..."

Then, Kevin glanced at the two joking around, sighed, and shook his head.

"To be honest, I'm actually a bit averse to same-sex love."

"But even as a parent, my opinion remains just that—an opinion. How she lives and what choices she makes is up to her. At most, out of sight, out of mind."

This frank conversation finally brought a sense of relief and satisfaction to Ada, who had been raising her child alone for many years.

As someone of mixed Chinese and Western descent, and having served as an intelligence agent in various settings, she was long since unfazed by the various sordid affairs between men and women.

Regarding same-sex relationships, Ada holds a similar view to Kevin; she doesn't say she likes them, but she remains neutral.

Now that her daughter Kallen's memories have returned, she can no longer be considered a teenager. Ada is a free-spirited person and would not be so dictatorial as to issue various prohibitions.

However, after much thought, Ada still couldn't come up with a reasonable solution. As she frowned in worry, she looked up and saw the composed man, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

She had no particular thoughts, but the fox opposite her definitely did.

A moment later, Kallen and Yae Sakura entered the living room hand in hand. Ada used the excuse of preparing tea and snacks to busy herself in the back, while Kevin faced the two little girls alone, tapping on the table and closing his eyes in a strange atmosphere.

"Neither Ada nor I intend to interfere in matters of the heart..."

"You should all go to the Schicksal Floating Island; the headmaster's department is short-staffed..."

Upon hearing this, Kallen's face darkened, and a hint of unease appeared on her cheerful expression.

"Don't overthink it. Just treat it as a honeymoon trip. Experiencing more people and things won't do you any harm..."

Kevin chuckled and stepped forward, paused, and gently stroked his daughter's head with his right hand for the first time.

"Whatever choice you make, you should prove it to us..."

"If your answer remains unchanged after you become an adult, Ada and I will respect that and wish you both the best..."

Then, as if he had thought of something, Kevin squatted down and brushed the grass clippings off Kallen, his tone somewhat solemn.

"Remember, you must take good care of Headmistress Theresa; she is a descendant of your good friend, Bishop Otto..."

Upon hearing this familiar name, Kallen was slightly moved and nodded earnestly.

At this moment, Kevin couldn't help but feel a little guilty, after all, his actions of throwing Kallen and Yae Sakura onto the Schicksal Floating Island were not entirely pure.

If anyone could test or shake the relationship between Yae Sakura and Kallen, it would be Bishop Otto, and Theresa, who shares the same genes as Kallen.

The Floating Island of Schicksal preserves all of Otto's efforts to revive Kallen. Everyone in this world can forget his name, but Kallen cannot.

Both emotionally and rationally, this is a burden she must bear...

After quickly packing their bags, the two headed towards the courtyard. Kevin noticed something and waved to Kallen and Yae Sakura.

"Wait, you two, raise a toast here, to an old friend..."

Kallen and Yae Sakura stared at the empty ground before them, which was devoid of any trace. Although somewhat puzzled, they obediently took the teacups and slowly poured the tea into the soil.

As the two girls, hand in hand, got into Ada's car and headed towards the airport, Kevin downed his tea in one gulp and murmured to himself.

Otto, you didn't win while you were alive, so I actually hope you can win a round after you die...

How much you leave in Kallen's heart depends on you. Take care...

However, Kevin had another important reason for sending Kallen and Yae Sakura away—to test the reaction of the Super God Academy.

One must always be wary of others; he already carries too many hopes and a future on his shoulders, and he can't afford to lose even one game.

Therefore, leaving his daughter and wife as vulnerabilities would inevitably become exploitable weaknesses. By taking advantage of dealing with Kallen's romantic problems, sending them away would also eliminate any lingering concerns.

And once Kallen leaves, Ada will likely follow her daughter on her journey, so he actually included that Vixen in his calculations as well.

It's better that he's gone. Kevin has a premonition that Shenzhou will become the main battlefield of war in the future.

Wings appeared and it slowly rose into the air. Kevin gazed at the red Ferrari sports car as it drove away, feeling somewhat lost.

His peaceful life, which had only been going on for a short time, was shattered by his own hands. Perhaps from the moment he accepted his fate, he said goodbye to tranquility forever.

The man, feeling listless and bored, leaned against the eaves, enjoying the cool breeze, and casually pulled out Tendou Kisara's phone.

Forget it, I need to find something to do. He still has the entire Hyperion to support. I'll find an opportunity to pull off a heist.

"Huh? You want to take an order? Let me find it, the highest priced one... target area: Canghai City... found one that suits you perfectly... tonight!"

At the Tendou Civil Security Company, the black-haired young lady spat out the pizza in her mouth, flipped through the secret documents, and her gaze was instantly drawn to a series of "0"s at the end of a certain form.

P. S.: This is not meant to be an excessive insult to His Lord Bishop. Regardless of how others view Otto, Kallen must remember this.

Furthermore, Yae Sakura and Kallen standing at the spot where Otto died signifies the rebirth of their bond.

Chapter 672, Section 704: Meeting a Fellow Traveler

Angel Fund Building, Canghai City.

The hall was resplendent in gold, with invited orchestras playing solemn classical music on both sides. On the long dining table, large abalone and lobsters were everywhere, the food was beautifully presented, and the cooking skills were superb, showing that it was quite luxurious.

Meanwhile, groups of well-dressed upper-class individuals, each with their female companions, strolled around the venue, chatting and laughing, searching for suitable business partners.

This is a charity ball organized by an "Angel Fund" to raise funds for hungry people in impoverished areas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

However, the price of just one dish could feed an impoverished family for a month. As Kevin mingled among the crowd, he felt that the contrast between the scene before him and the charity seemed quite surreal.

Of course, this ball also provided a platform for networking and business exchanges; otherwise, it's unlikely that so many prominent figures Earth Realm Canghai City could have been invited.

At the venue, Kevin, carrying a plate of his chosen food, leaned against a corner, searching for his target out of the corner of his eye. However, it seemed that the party had not officially started yet, and the people in the photos did not appear.

The client is only interested in certain documents in the Angel Fund's safe and is not in a hurry.

Just as Kevin was treating this place as a free buffet, a red-haired Matt in ripped jeans frowned, dodged through the bustling crowd, patted him on the shoulder with a tray, and showed an expression of mutual understanding.

"Dude, it's too noisy over there, do you mind joining us at a table?"

It turned out she was a young woman who didn't really like socializing. Kevin nodded politely and continued to savor the various dishes on his own.

The Matt girl thoroughly enjoyed Kevin's quiet and distant demeanor, enjoying drinks and desserts while playing on her phone.

"Rose? Why is she all alone? Uncle Du didn't come?"

At this moment, a young man in a white suit and tuxedo, after searching for a while, squeezed behind the Matt girl and exchanged pleasantries familiarly.

Kevin noticed the young man's straight back and the calluses on his hands and fingers. A thought struck him, and he frowned slightly. A soldier? This is a bit troublesome.

"Is it convenient? My dad would like to meet you..."

The Matt girl casually slapped away the hand that was resting on her shoulder and stood up with an unhappy expression.

"Are we acquainted? I'm busy, did you hear me? If there's anything, go talk to Grandpa."

The young man, with a military background, possessed remarkable composure; even after being publicly mocked, he maintained a gentle smile.

"Rose, we grew up in the same military compound. Why are you so short-tempered the first time we meet? Maybe our families will become even closer in the future."

"Tch, you think you can woo me? Little Yu, are you missing those VIP wards in the capital again?"

The Matt girl shook her head and sneered, her gaze disdainful, while simultaneously lowering her voice to hum softly.

"If you don't want to be embarrassed, get out now!"

The man in the white suit, upon hearing the slight cracking of the Matt girl's knuckles, seemed to have been reminded of something unpleasant. His smile froze instantly, and he retreated into the crowd with a grim expression.

Sorry, buddy...

Having dealt with the swarm of admirers behind her, the Matt girl tossed her hair in annoyance, picked up her plate, and prepared to leave.

"By the way, my name is Du Qiangwei. If you ever have the chance to visit the capital, I can take you out for a meal..."

Immediately, the Matt girl tapped her head, as if she had thought of something. She casually called over a waiter, borrowed paper and pen, left Kevin her phone number, and then turned and left with a flourish.
