Despite being such a powerful man, Little Knowledge was confident that he could rival him.

"Can Little Knowledge really beat Boss Kevin?" Pardo wondered deeply.

"In reality, Little Knowledge would definitely win, but..." Ying shook her head. "I don't know."

Little Knowledge was still talking to herself, emphasizing that she was Fu Hua and that Feather of the Wind originally belonged to her. She even stole a trace of Otto's memories without Otto even realizing it.

In that memory, Otto humbly begged his biological father, only to be rejected. He experienced the failure of the Eastern Expedition and was then exposed in a scandal by Kallen, which made his Schicksal extremely difficult.

"Kallen Kaslana must die."

In order to seize power from the Kaslana family, the archbishop threatened Otto with Kallen's life to force him to fulfill the marriage contract that had been made with Kallen.

The thing I've been longing for is right in front of me.

But Otto showed no joy whatsoever.

Is this still Otto?

The audience was momentarily stunned.

The Otto they knew was someone who schemed against everyone, as if nothing could escape his grasp, plotting everything. But in their memories, Otto appeared as someone utterly insignificant.

Even his biological father never considered passing the bishopric to him.

This creates a stark contrast.

"I think this archbishop is getting old and his eyesight is failing," Sakura remarked.

Viewers may hate Otto, may criticize Otto, but no one will deny that Otto is bad, and Otto's biological father, the archbishop, chose to have his second son's child instead of his terrifying third son as his heir.

In ancient times, emperors in Shenzhou also made similar choices, but unfortunately, a major event occurred later, known as the "Jingnan Campaign".

"So Otto and Kallen are engaged. Then, big sister, wouldn't you be considered..." Rin asked cautiously.

Sakura's pretty face darkened, and she grabbed Ling's cheek hard.

"No, Kallen and I are just ordinary best friends!"

The flashback ends here. Little Knowledge has arrived at the World Serpent's base, but is immediately discovered by the World Serpent's defensive mech forces.

Three minutes later, the so-called mecha force was reduced to a pile of rubble.

Little Knowledge looked down at the ground, her eyes seemingly able to see through to the underground base. She was annoyed that Kevin hadn't reacted at all to the commotion she had caused on the surface.

"I've changed my mind—infiltration is no fun, I want to storm in openly."

Little Knowledge smiled, put his hands on his hips, and puffed out his chest.

"He's a high-ranking official now, wouldn't it make me look inferior if I went to see him?"

"I want him to come to me on his own initiative."

"What kind of infiltration is this?"

Kiana was shocked.

This was completely different from what she knew about infiltration.

Shouldn't infiltration mean being cautious and not disturbing the enemy? What kind of infiltration is it to openly and brazenly storm in?

"So this is what infiltration meant in the squad leader's memory."

Bronya nodded.

"This has nothing to do with me," Fu Hua retorted hastily, quickly disclaiming any connection.

Little Knowledge was still smug, a stark contrast to his earlier anger.

"Alright! That's it! What's the point of infiltration? If I can beat Schicksal with my fists, I can definitely kick the World Serpent!"

"Good! This is more interesting, hahahaha!!!" Kalpas laughed loudly.

Little Knowledge's chosen method of infiltration was the same as Kalpas Jie's idea: all he had to do was fight his way through and kill everyone who noticed him. Wouldn't that be a perfect infiltration that no one would notice?

Besides, being straightforward and direct is much more effective than being cautious.

"I am, after all, the Lord of the World Serpent ..." Kevin muttered.

The moment he uttered those words, he immediately attracted the attention of Mobius, May, and Vill-V.

Kevin felt incredibly pressured by the looks he received from his three superiors.

In the story, he is a lord; in reality, he is a corporate slave.

The Jackal was watching everything unfold through a monitor screen.

The intelligence she received was that Fu Hua was dead. Her first reaction was that it was Otto's conspiracy, but before she could question Schicksal, Little Knowledge had already barged in.

It can be said that they dismantle mechs without any mercy.

The Jackal got angry.

Without disturbing the Lord, she mobilized almost all the combat units in the base to obey her command. She personally killed Little Knowledge and broadcast combat instructions.

"It's so noisy, is this guy stupid? Who broadcasts their own tactics over the loudspeaker..." Little Knowledge scratched his head.

"Are you scared? If you are, then surrender, and I'll spare your life!"

"So you can hear me." Little Knowledge was a little surprised. She had thought that the Jackal couldn't hear her, but she didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant.

"Nothing that happens in this base escapes my ears, Jackal, understand? Dare to provoke the World Serpent, you're dead!"

"The rats are hiding their heads and tails, but they can actually deliver their lines quite convincingly."

"Surround her, understand? Get her!"

The Jackal was completely taken aback by Little Knowledge's words.

Facing the surrounding mech forces, Little Knowledge was not afraid at all, and even managed to provoke the Jackal with words while attacking them.

"Don't you guys spend money building mechs? Are you just using them as cannon fodder?"

Even Little Knowledge couldn't help but feel sorry for Kevin.

"Stop talking nonsense! This is tactical, you understand?!"

The Jackal was enraged.

Jackal had initially impressed them as a mad scientist who would stop at nothing, but now, his conversation with Little Knowledge felt like watching a comedy sketch.

"Pfft, what kind of good person would publicly announce their tactics over the loudspeaker? Isn't that just wishing the enemy couldn't get in?" Kiana couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She didn't have a good impression of the Jackal, after all, in the plot, he was the one who would use her as an experiment. She laughed the most when she saw the Jackal's comedic antics.

"If I didn't know that Jackal was very loyal to World Serpent, I would have really thought she was an undercover agent, hahaha... I can't take it anymore, Mei, my stomach hurts from laughing."

Kiana leaned on his shoulder, one hand covering her stomach, laughing so hard she was convulsing.

The prestige of World Serpent has been severely diminished by the Raven at the island villa and the Jackal who tells jokes. If it weren't for Kevin, the audience might really think that World Serpent is a comedy organization.

"The more pretentious Kevin is, the funnier Raven and Jackal are. It's like tit for tat," Mei laughed.

Kevin was laughing heartily.

"The Jackal's storyline has successfully turned itself into a comedy. Does World Serpent's job posting require them to become comedians?" Sakura laughed.

"It has nothing to do with me. Raven is just typing on the keyboard, Jackal is May's assistant." Vill-V quickly distanced herself from the situation.

The audience burst into laughter.

The first half of the movie brought too much sadness, and in the second half, only the scene between Jackal and Little Knowledge brought the audience some joy.

Otherwise, it would be too depressing. Yaqing was a little worried about the box office, not because she was afraid of losing money, but because she was afraid that Otto would call again.

The Jackal led Little Knowledge into a passage, extremely arrogant, as if she felt she had won. However, her proud tactics were shattered by Little Knowledge's punch.

Little Knowledge's fighting prowess led the Jackal to believe he was Kevin's comrade-in-arms, and in order to prevent Kevin from finding out, the jackal prepared to kill him.

In order to attract Kevin's attention, Little Knowledge decided to remove the Jackal's head.

The ace bio-weapon, the Crimson Weaver, is in action!

But they couldn't do anything about Little Knowledge.

Even just because of Little Knowledge remark, the technology you possess is 50,000 years behind the technology I've ever seen.

The Jackal completely broke down, stopped thinking, and pulled out all the resources it had prepared to capture the Herrscher.

But just then, Kevin appeared behind the Jackal and stopped her.

"I am coming."

Kevin wasn't saying this to the Jackal.

"Kevin has finally shown up." Su smiled and shook her head.

"Nonsense, if I hadn't stepped in, these two huskies would have torn the base apart." Although Kevin was teasing Su, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Kevin wasn't the only one who thought so; the audience thought so too. How could Jackal and Little Knowledge have a relationship of infiltration and protection? If they didn't know Jackal was loyal, they would have suspected that Jackal was sent by Otto.

This series of actions is even more treacherous than that of an internal traitor.

First, they announced their tactics, then they let the wolf into the house, and finally they almost used up all of World Serpent's assets.

If Kevin had arrived even a second later...

The World Serpent may soon face a situation similar to Anti-Entropy.

"That's hilarious! Kevin's expression is still indifferent, but he's probably cursing under his breath."

["Kevin: Almost, almost my World Serpent followed in Anti-Entropy's footsteps."]

["Anti-Entropy: Are you being polite?"]

The audience couldn't help but chat in the quiet screening room.

This part of the story brought some joy to their wounded hearts.

Perhaps. The only unhappy person in the audience was Jackal.

The only thing I felt fortunate about was the Raven.

She thought to herself, thankfully this storyline didn't involve her, otherwise she would have had another plot hole besides the island villa.

Chapter 329 The Real and Fake Monkey Kings, Li Kui Meets Li Gui

[The scene shifts to Little Knowledge and Kevin leaving the base.]

"Where did you find this subordinate? He's quite interesting."

"She's very useful—I'm not talking about combat."

Kevin said calmly.

But it was the pauses in his tone and that calmness that made the audience want to laugh even more.

Kevin stopped in his tracks, not wanting to waste time talking to Little Knowledge, and went straight to the point. "Who are you?"

"I am Hua, your old friend."

Kevin didn't hesitate at all. "... Hua never calls me a friend."

They immediately recalled seeing Fu Hua in the feather, and their interactions with Kevin didn't seem like those of friends. The two of them didn't agree on Dr. MEI.

"Was I... hated in the story?" Kevin whispered.

Mei didn't reply, but instead leaned gently on Kevin's shoulder.

The couple is currently viewed very differently by the public.

Even though Kevin was the strongest warrior, always on the front lines fighting the Honkai, his chosen Stigmata Project was rejected by the protagonist, leading to...

Mei fared even worse. Some said she fought against the Honkai, while others called her cold-blooded. All sorts of opinions were expressed on the Honkai forums, and this was only because the movie hadn't finished airing yet.

["Oh."

Little Knowledge explained to Kevin that Otto had shot her in the head, causing some memory lapses.

Kevin still questions Little Knowledge's identity.

Little Knowledge then spent a long time explaining.

"Think of it this way, Kevin; I am a better Hua than before." Little Knowledge revealed a confident smile.

Kevin silently drew his Judgement of Shamash, pointing the tip at her.
