"Two Misses, this way please!"

At the entrance of the hotel restaurant, two waitresses in red cheongsams warmly greeted the two guests.

The two young girls entering were both wearing form-fitting cheongsams. The girl on the left, with a head of striking white hair, had her beautiful braids tied up. She playfully curved her lips, revealing a bright smile as she looked at the dazzling array of food.

In contrast, the girl in the blue cheongsam on the right... well, her muscle definition was very clear. One look and you could tell she was a good candidate for martial arts.

Of course, if she weren't wearing women's clothes, calling her a young hero might not be out of the question...

As soon as they reached the table, the white-haired girl completely forgot about her mission. She ate a little of this and a little of that, until her mouth was completely stuffed: "This is delicious, this is also delicious. I didn't expect to eat such tasty things during a mission!"

"Sigh..." The young hero in the blue dress, no, it was Fu Hua, sighed. She picked up a goblet from the side and poured herself a glass of grape juice.

"Huh?" Kiana turned her head, looking at her downcast companion. She took a bite of the chicken leg in her hand and mumbled indistinctly, "Class Monitor, aren't you eating?"

"I..." Just as Fu Hua was about to speak, Kiana on the side started chattering and asking many questions: "Speaking of which, I still don't know what the mission objective is!"

"Also... why did the Class Monitor choose me as a partner?"

"You said before that we should check into this hotel first. So we got a room."

"Could it be... actually, you want to lure me with food and then have ulterior motives for my body!"

"No way! My body and heart belong to Mei senpai!"

Fu Hua: "..."

Looking at Kiana who was making things up in her head, Fu Hua was momentarily speechless. She didn't expect this girl to have such strong imaginative abilities. If she had even half of this imagination in class, she wouldn't have failed...

"Kiana, you're overthinking it. This mission is just simple intelligence gathering. I can complete it by myself," Fu Hua pushed up her glasses, picked up a piece of cake, and explained awkwardly:

"The reason I asked Kiana to be my partner is because this mission allows us to visit Singapore. Also, I wanted to repay Kiana. When Anti-Entropy invaded the academy before, if Kiana hadn't stepped forward, I might have been in danger."

"Ah? Really? I didn't expect the Class Monitor to be so nice~ Then I won't be polite~" Kiana scratched her chin a little shyly, took the cake from Fu Hua's hand, and like eating popcorn, threw the cake into the air and swallowed it in one bite.

In an unnoticed corner, a security guard in a suit stared in astonishment at Kiana who was eating heartily in the restaurant.

Honestly, in all his life, this was the first time he had seen a girl eat a whole roasted suckling pig in three bites. He was so engrossed that he didn't even notice Xina walking past him with a plate...

"Regular communication, A12, report on the restaurant situation. Have any suspected Valkyries entered?"

A call from an Anti-Entropy personnel came through the bodyguard's earpiece.

"Yes, two girls just came in, but don't worry, they're just ordinary girls. There's nothing unusual," the security guard in the suit reported while watching Kiana eat.

To be fair, watching this girl eat really made one hungry.

"Don't be careless, continue monitoring," the person on the other end of the earpiece kindly reminded him.

The entire process of the security guard's communication was covered by the corner of Fu Hua's eye. Seeing the security guard retract his head, Fu Hua then turned and walked towards the corner.

This is the only elevator to Doctor Magi's VIP room... Hmm, as expected, there are guards.

Fu Hua thought for a moment. Just as she was about to come up with a not-so-good idea, she saw a dining cart being pushed out of the kitchen by a young waitress in red, heading towards her.

"Aha! Got it!" Fu Hua's lips curved slightly. She quietly walked behind the red-clad waitress. As they passed an empty corner, she delivered a hand chop that knocked the waitress out and changed into the waitress's red cheongsam in the utility room: "I'll just sneak in like this!"

Fu Hua tidied her clothes. The second after she pushed the dining cart past the corner not far from the storeroom door, the storeroom door was opened from the inside.

Xina rubbed her sore neck and couldn't help but mutter as she watched Fu Hua's retreating back, "If you wanted to change clothes, you should have told me! Why did you hit me... Now I have to figure out another way to sneak in."

Now, having received a hand chop and feeling completely clear-headed, Xina had a grasp of the situation.

The bodyguard in the suit who was squatting in the corner of the restaurant and occasionally contacting someone was with the unlucky guy she had turned into an ice sculpture. They were most likely the party currently in possession of the Gem.

Although she didn't know whose side Fu Hua was on, her goal was probably the same as hers: to obtain the Serenity Gem that God had mentioned.

And she, Xina, needed to snatch the Gem from these two groups. She had to admit, the difficulty of this task was a bit high for her, a newcomer.

Honestly, shouldn't the first task for a beginner be simpler?

Could it be that she was truly worthy of being a future Apostle of God now? Even her internship tasks were terrifyingly difficult...

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I'll go get another set of employee clothes to wear...

On the other side, relying on Xina's complete outfit, Fu Hua passed the elevator and inspection without incident. She walked to the door of the VIP Room, stepped forward, and knocked on the door: "Hello, room service."

"Got it, come in!"

As soon as the words fell, the door of the VIP Room made a series of faint creaking sounds.

Pushing open the door and walking into the dark room, a thin figure slowly emerged from the shadows behind Fu Hua: "I didn't order room service, little bug. Welcome to my cage."

"Not good!" Fu Hua's expression changed, and she quickly distanced herself from the person behind her...

In the restaurant, Kiana, who was still eating heartily, didn't notice that after Fu Hua left, a white-haired old man had arrived behind her.

"Miss... could you do this old man a favor?" The old man smiled and greeted Kiana. In his hand was a bottle of Red Wine with half of the cork broken off.

In the VIP Room...

Fu Hua, who was deliberately holding back, pretended to be no match for a Defective Herrscher and allowed herself to be hung in mid-air by the opponent.

"It's actually a trap, damn it..." Fu Hua, the 'Actor', gritted her teeth as she looked at Welt in front of her, wishing she could bite this tasteless, vulgar, and even Hentai guy to death.

Looking at Fu Hua struggling in pain while hanging in mid-air, Welt felt that he had the situation under control and decided to celebrate prematurely.

He lightly pinched Fu Hua's fair, oval face and rubbed it very hard: "Hmph, according to Cocolia's orders, I have to stay in this city for a while. It's so boring here, I have to find some fun for myself!"

"Don't worry, before I leave this city... I won't kill you. You have to remember to keep me entertained."

"Is that 'Gem' already... in this city?" Fu Hua suddenly spoke, asking repeatedly like some stubborn Valkyrie.

"Tch, what a stubborn Valkyrie. Are you still thinking about the mission at a time like this? Don't worry, that thing is still in this city," Welt let go of his hand and carelessly revealed the most important information:

"But it's not here. We already put it in that Underground Safe."

"Underground Safe?"

Hearing the Answer she needed, Fu Hua frowned, intending to break free and retrieve the Gem.

Yes, Fu Hua easily broke free from Welt's restraint as if snapping two strands of hair, and the moment she landed, she cut off Welt's tongue.

Welt: @#@Half% (How is that possible?)

With a 'small' Inch Punch, she sent the stunned Welt flying. Fu Hua picked up the glasses that had fallen to the ground earlier, smiled slightly at Welt, who was questioning his life, and said, "It seems you have many questions."

Welt: @%&%$#@$%% (A million volts of electricity, even an A-rank Valkyrie couldn't recover this quickly.)

"Hmm, although out of politeness, I'd really like to answer your questions, but unfortunately, I can't understand what you're saying right now. However, I still have to thank you for the information you provided," Fu Hua put on her glasses, stretched lazily as if she hadn't even warmed up, and smiled, "After all, there's no need to hide my strength in front of a dead person."

Why would Cocolia leave the Gem in this city... Shouldn't she be rushing to take the Gem back to headquarters?

It seems I need to quickly gather information about the "Underground Safe".

Also, since this is a trap, Kiana is also in danger. I must take her away from here quickly.

Before leaving, Fu Hua, who had been deep in thought, completely failed to notice the resentment on Welt's face, or rather, she noticed it but didn't take it seriously.

The second she pulled open the door, the few Poison Spider Mechas on the ground suddenly emitted a crisp mechanical sound: "Self-destruct system activated, countdown, 5...4...3..."

Hearing such an explosive mechanical sound, even Fu Hua couldn't remain calm. After all, no one had a peculiar fetish for being blown up by bombs.

"Tsk, Cocolia, that cunning vixen!"

Saying that, Fu Hua gave up on escaping the explosion zone through the main entrance and instead turned back into the room, crossing her arms in front of her chest, and crashed headfirst into the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Crack!

Accompanied by countless glass shards falling from high above, Fu Hua landed steadily on the ground and disappeared into the dark alley under the astonished gaze of passersby.

In the restaurant, the old man in white took the opened bottle of wine from Kiana's hand and thanked her warmly, "Thank you for helping me open this bottle of wine, kind Miss."

"You're welcome, Grandpa. Protecting Humanity... oh, no, helping others is my..."

The helpful Kiana pressed her left hand to her chest and said proudly.

But unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, the building began to shake violently from the self-destruction of the Poison Spider robots.
