A Happy Accident? / A Meteor Flashing Across the Sky-Siegfried Nearly Loses His Head.

Upon hearing this, Gwen's gaze towards Changguang took on a strange quality—

Although he didn't intend to hide it, was Changguang really going to such lengths to test the waters?

"Alright, since it's your secret, keep it safe. Don't tell even people you trust..."

Especially for a woman like me.

Changguang tucked a strand of hair that had fallen to his ear due to his earlier movement and said with a smile.

"After all, I can't guarantee that I won't do something out of line at some point."

So keep your secret well, innocent little Gwen.

"..."

Gwen rolled his eyes upon hearing this, wanting to retort, "Do you believe that going too far will ultimately backfire on you?"

Chapter 284 A Lucky Mistake?

Thanks.

Although he wanted to complain, considering that Schicksal had Otto, and that Changguang's words were indeed for his own good, Gwen quickly suppressed his urge to complain and thanked him.

"Hmm~"

Seeing that Gwen understood his good intentions, Changguang's lips curled up, and he was about to tease him a bit more when he saw Gwen also reveal a smug smile—

"However, I just had a heart-to-heart talk with our Bishop Otto this morning, we exchanged views and reached a certain consensus on the basis of that."

Therefore, some concerns can be put aside for now.

"..."

Seeing the slightly smug smile on Gwen's face, Changguang reacted for a moment, her red lips parted slightly, and a look of astonishment and disbelief appeared on her mature and plump face—

"Really?"

"Hmm~"

Seeing the unexpectedly cute expression on Changguang's face, Gwen tilted his head, raised an eyebrow, and smiled at her.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Changguang leaned back tactically, her long hair swaying violently, silently revealing the turmoil in her heart.

"They actually managed to persuade our Bishop Otto..."

A hint of inquiry crept into Changguang's gaze as he looked at Gwen, and he repeated his previous question—

"You're not really his illegitimate son, are you?"

However, although he was more serious, Gwen could still see a hint of mockery on Changguang's face.

Do you think it's possible?

Gwen rolled his eyes and ignored the question.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't..."

Changguang wasn't annoyed; he naturally ended the topic and turned to walk towards the computer without any hesitation.

"The damage to the Moon Sky is too severe. Repairing it is no easier than rebuilding it. I'll try to salvage the data first, which might provide some help to the second generation."

During this period, you may need to provide some detailed information about the situation at that time.

"No problem..."

Gwen smiled, lowered the back of his chair, and half-reclined on it.

Changguang knew that the information that would allow Gwen to persuade Otto was beyond his knowledge, so he chose to end the topic with a joke.

In Changguang's view, Otto, who used cloning technology as easily as eating and drinking, would never give Gwen the same level of preferential treatment just because of his status as a mere illegitimate child. So he ended the topic with this impossible answer.

However, Changguang didn't notice as he turned around was Gwen's slightly complicated expression.

Although neither Gwen nor Otto were willing to acknowledge their father-son relationship separated by the Sea of Quantum, Gwen couldn't completely ignore the kindness Otto had shown him over the past two years.

As the old saying goes, everyone has a heart of flesh.

The complex emotions that have developed over the years are one of the reasons why Gwen doesn't want to think about them today and just wants to give up.

Unaware of the emotional turmoil in Gwen's heart, Changguang diligently extracted information from the Moonlight Watch, ceasing all conversation with Gwen and leaving only the soft sound of the computer running in the office.

After a long while, Changguang shook his hand and turned around, just about to ask Gwen a question, when he found that Gwen, who was lying on the chair, had fallen asleep with even breathing.

"..."

Changguang didn't approach or wake Gwen. He just stood up and looked at him from a distance. He found that Gwen was sleeping soundly, so he smiled silently and sat back down to continue his work.

Gwen was indeed fast asleep, did not notice Changguang's actions. For once, he put aside all his calculations and worries and enjoyed this relaxing time.

However, before Gwen could wake up naturally, a crisp message notification startled Gwen awake.

"Woke up?"

Hearing the commotion behind him, Changguang turned to look and saw that Gwen had already sat up, so he stopped being quiet and asked with a smile.

"Um...

She slept soundly.

Feeling much more relaxed Gwen ignored the teasing smile on Changguang's face, took out his terminal and glanced at it, only to find that Anna had replied to the message.

Gwen glanced at it briefly. It turned out that Anna had received an urgent mission early this morning and was currently in Northern Europe. She had only just had time to check her terminal.

"..."

Seeing the concern in the girl's message, Gwen's lips curled up slightly, and he felt even more pleased. He tapped his finger lightly and chatted with the girl for a while.

When Gwen put down the terminal, he found that Changguang had already come up to him, her right leg crossed, her left hand supporting her pretty face on the armrest, looking at him with a half-smile.

"What makes you smile like that... let me guess..."

Is it Durandal?

Or Anna?

"Where did you come from, paparazzi? Are you planning to write some tabloid news?"

Gwen casually put away his terminal, ignoring Changguang's words, and stood up from his chair after making a casual remark.

"It's getting late, would you like to have lunch together?"

"You're paying?"

Changguang sat up straight with a smile and casually asked.

"It's on me, eat whatever you want."

Gwen nodded immediately, and said with no small amount of malice.

"As long as you're not worried about the calories exploding, you don't care if you eat me into bankruptcy."

"If you hadn't brought this up, we could still be good friends..."

The smile on Changguang's pretty face froze instantly. She stood up and gently kicked Gwen.

Although Changguang had already mentioned her age while chatting with Durandal, she still paid attention to controlling her figure. Wasn't Gwen saying this just to prevent her from eating too much?

"Ha ha..."

Having finally won a point, Gwen laughed loudly and led the way out.

After having lunch with Changguang, Gwen leisurely strolled back to his long-abandoned home.

Although everything was still the same as when he left, Gwen could tell that Rita often came to clean, making the place feel more like "home" than just a simple house.

"Looks like someone's cleaning your house for Gwen?"

Elysia had been enthusiastically discussing the differences in diet between Previous Civilization and modern civilization with Gwen during lunch and delving into the topic of how souls can share taste, also noticed the subtle, homely atmosphere in Gwen's house and said with a smile.

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be Rita. Anna and Bianca should also be helping."

Gwen nodded and introduced Elysia as he changed his shoes.

"You've seen Rita's picture before; she's an excellent Valkyrie and also an excellent maid."

Or rather, that's what Rita is truly interested in?

"Hmm... Valkyrie with the heart of a maid?"

Hearing Gwen's introduction, Elysia was also a little surprised, then smiled and said.

"It seems I'll be meeting a lot of wonderful girls while I'm with Gwen ~"

Chapter 285 A shooting star flashed across the sky, Siegfried's head fell to the ground (nearly).

Just as Gwen and Elysia were chatting for a while and getting ready to get some sleep, his phone, which he had casually placed on the bedside table, suddenly rang with a rather jarring notification sound.

"!"

In an instant, Gwen, who had just been lazily preparing to take another nap, sprang up with a jolt, frowned, and grabbed his phone to check it.

There are only two possibilities for this kind of ringtone to be emitted—

First, there are urgent tasks assigned to him, which are issued by the system bypassing his personal settings;

The second is a specific message sent by someone Gwen had designated as a special contact.

Regardless of the type, Gwen cannot afford to be complacent.

The next moment, Gwen breathed a slight sigh of relief. It wasn't some sudden Great Honkai that required his attention, but rather a voice call from Kiana was on his list of special concerns. However, the call was disconnected after only one second.

"Considering the time difference, it should be late at night in the Far East right now. Kiana, what's the matter that you suddenly contacted me about?"

Surely he didn't accidentally touch it while playing on his phone in bed?

With a puzzled look in his mind Gwen made a call back, but Kiana did not answer.

"..."

Realizing that the situation might be beyond his expectations, Gwen frowned and tried to call Mei again, but there was still no answer.

"Something happened?"

Realizing that there might really be a problem with the Far East Branch, Gwen thought for a moment and then dialed Otto's number.

Gwen long; the call was connected quickly.

"Bishop Otto, are you up to something again in the Far East Branch?"

Before Otto could speak, Gwen directly questioned him.

"Um?

Is there a problem with little Theresa?

Otto, who was carefully taking out the Kallen relics he had treasured, couldn't help but feel puzzled by Gwen's unfriendly tone.

"... I request to go to the Far East Branch to check on the situation."

Unable to determine whether Otto was acting with him or he had wronged Otto, Gwen, who had already reached the window, pulled it open.

"Okay, go ahead. Should I have Amber arrange a plane for you?"

Although Otto had no idea what had happened, he sensed a deep distrust in Gwen's tone and had his own guesses.

"No need, I can go myself faster."

Judging from Otto's reaction, Gwen felt somewhat calmer, but he didn't hesitate for a moment and jumped out of the window.

Although he was still wearing slippers, Gwen's body shot into the sky like a cannonball, attracting several stares.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light flashed, and the shell was upgraded into a missile, speeding away into the distance and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for the traces left among the clouds in the sky, one would almost doubt whether it was an illusion.

Flying from Destiny Headquarters toward the Far East Branch, Gwen seemed to travel through time, quickly moving from the bright midday sun to the midnight moon.

However, Gwen had no time to pay attention to this strange experience. Following the marks that he could sense as he got closer, he rushed into the Far East Branch.
