Sister's Filial Piety, Sister's Filial Piety, Brother Complex is Truly Terrifying

On the other side, it seemed the process of stripping the [Gem of Desire] was too taxing. After completing it, Ye Li could barely stand.

After forcing himself to regain his balance, Ye Li presented the gem to Durandal.

"Bianca, with this, there should be no reason for headquarters to take Wendy, right?"

In response, Durandal stared at Ye Li for a long time before resolutely stating, "I'm sorry, Senior. Military orders are paramount."

Durandal's inflexibility immediately sent Kiana into a frenzy.

"What kind of bullshit 'military orders are paramount' is that, are you a block of wood?! Can't you be more flexible!"

Kiana shouted angrily, "Ye Li worked so hard, and you're still..."

As she spoke, Kiana raised her dual pistols, determined to engage Durandal in a thrilling 1v1 showdown.

Watching this touching display of sisterly affection, Ye Li, standing nearby, felt a pain he couldn't express.

He could only place his hope on the calm and collected Raiden Mei, hoping she could persuade Kiana.

However, to Ye Li's speechless dismay...

Upon seeing Kiana prepare to fight Durandal, Raiden Mei indignantly pulled out her 'Plasma Show' and prepared to join the fray.

To Ye Li's utter despair, even Bronya beside them began charging up her Heavy-duty Bunny.

Just as the battle was about to erupt, a slightly ostentatious voice suddenly echoed throughout the area.

"Bianca, and all my colleagues from the Far East Branch, please calm down and refrain from any drastic actions."

"Who the hell are you? Why should I listen to you!" Kiana instinctively felt a surge of disgust towards the flamboyant voice.

"I am Otto Apocalypse, the current Bishop of Schicksal."

The voice, identified as Otto, continued, "Little girl, you and Bianca are both Schicksal's most precious assets. Therefore, I do not wish to see either side get hurt."

With that, Otto's tone shifted as he addressed Durandal, "Bianca, my most proud student, I am now issuing the latest order for this operation: bring the [Gem of Desire] back to headquarters."

Upon hearing Otto's latest command, Durandal's expression relaxed, and she responded, "Understood!"

After successfully taking possession of the [Gem of Desire], Durandal prepared to embark on her journey back to the European headquarters.

As she was about to leave, Durandal looked back at Ye Li in the crowd, her eyes filled with concern.

After Durandal departed, Raiden Mei re-established contact with Himeko to report the latest situation, while Bronya stayed by to look after the unconscious Wendy.

Meanwhile, Kiana seized the opportunity to walk up to Ye Li, excitedly exclaiming, "Ye Li, Ye Li, I never knew you had this kind of connection with that Durandal~ Oh, and also, if you have this kind of ability, why didn't you say so earlier? You made me misunderstand you..."

Looking at Kiana, who was full of questions, Ye Li knew how astonishing the abilities he had just displayed were.

But at this moment, Ye Li had no energy left to answer Kiana's questions.

Because only he knew the immense burden of healing the Honkai within Wendy and stripping the [Gem of Desire].

With a dizzying sensation and Kiana's exclamations, Ye Li's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

[Holy crap, I thought this was going to be a happy ending, and now you pull this?!]

[No! Don't hurt my Ye Li!]

[Is the miHoYo scriptwriter sick? You can't hurt the beautiful girls, so you go ahead and hurt my husband, is that it!]

[Daily inquiry into the mental state of the miHoYo scriptwriter]

[Ye Li's abilities clearly have huge side effects. That's why he didn't want Kiana and the others to know.]

As netizens were still lamenting Ye Li's plight, the video feed suddenly shifted.

In a dark room, countless electronic screens were densely packed.

A man with long blonde hair and blue eyes watched Kiana and the others on the screens, elegantly sipping red wine.

Then, the camera gradually zoomed in, finally settling on one screen.

On it was the unconscious Ye Li and a worried Kiana.

"Old friend, the surprises you give me are increasing."

The blonde man downed his glass of red wine. "With this, that plan should be initiated."

Although the blonde man only appeared for a few seconds and spoke only a few lines, his elegant demeanor and high-ranking aura told everyone that this man was no simple figure.

Furthermore, some observant netizens, by comparing voices, discovered that this blonde man was none other than the previously seen Schicksal Bishop, Otto Apocalypse.

And this Otto was very likely the true mastermind.

In the real world, at an orphanage.

After seeing the man on the video who closely resembled her brother, Vera immediately called for her sister-in-law, Kallen.

"Kallen, look quickly, brother's gone off to make a short video!"

"Where? Let me see~" Responding to Vera's call, a white-haired woman named Kallen rushed in.

After confirming that the blonde man in the video was indeed her husband Otto, Kallen covered her mouth in disbelief.

Although there were slight differences in his attire and demeanor, Kallen recognized the man in the video as her husband Otto at a glance.

Seeing Kallen utterly bewildered, Vera asked, "Where is Brother?"

"You mean Otto? He's outside with Sister Aponia, checking the inventory," Kallen replied. "The orphanage just received a new batch of children not too long ago, and they have a lot to worry about on all fronts."

Speaking of which, Kallen felt a bit dejected. "I wish I could help out more."

Seeing her sister-in-law looking down, Vera offered words of comfort. "Kallen, there's an old saying from Shenzhou that states, 'Everyone has their own specialty,' so don't take it too hard."

Looking at her understanding sister-in-law, Kallen was deeply touched.

However, the very next second...

"After all, if you were to help, Kallen, Brother and Sister Aponia might end up with even more work~"

Kallen: ...

Looking at her sister-in-law, who was like an angel and a devil, Kallen couldn't help but sigh. It was truly not easy to get along with a sister-in-law who was obsessed with her brother.
