Wendy: "They're Not Going to Plant a Bomb Under Our Feet, Are They?" / Hikari: "Could It Be... a Sub..."

Hearing Gwen make fun of her grades again, Kiana couldn't help but raise her little fist once more.

Gwen could tell that Kiana had let go of many of her inner conflicts after learning that Himeko, Fu Hua, and even Anna were already Herrscher.

After all, there is no Queen's Arrival yet, no global Great Honkai caused by her arrival, and no mentor she has killed with her own hands, so Kiana is not under as much psychological pressure as she originally did.

After confirming that Kiana's mental state had stabilized, Gwen chatted and laughed with Kiana for a while before not lingering any longer.

Having suddenly learned of her true identity, Kiana also needs some private space to sort things out.

Gwen, on the other hand, approached the least noticeable member of his own squad...

Chapter 426 Wendy: Are we going to have bombs planted under our feet?

Knock knock...

Suddenly, a crisp knocking sound rang out in the silent room, echoing through the stillness.

At the window, the girl in the wheelchair seemed to be awakened by the sound and blinked.

When the knocking sounded again, the girl realized it wasn't her imagination. She quickly turned her wheelchair and called out loudly—

"Please come in, the door is unlocked..."

The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a tall, slender figure stepped into the room, looking around at the somewhat dimly lit room with the curtains drawn.

"Team leader?"

Upon seeing who it was, the girl in the wheelchair was somewhat surprised. Unconsciously, she pushed the joystick in her hand all the way down, actually driving the wheelchair towards the person at full speed.

"Huh!"

Captain, watch out!

Realizing she had caused trouble, the girl's bangs flew up, revealing a faint blue color underneath.

However, even though the girl had tried to make amends, the not-so-distant distance did not give her a chance to do so.

Fortunately, before the "car accident" occurred, one foot gently braced against the wheelchair, making it difficult for the person to move forward.

"What, Wendy, are you so happy to see me?"

Gwen raised his hand to brush the girl's bangs aside and chuckled jokingly.

"That was an accident..."

Hearing Gwen's teasing, Wendy, who had just realized that Gwen wasn't someone a mere wheelchair could injure, blushed slightly. She offered an explanation, then added—

"However, I am indeed very happy to see you back, Captain..."

"I knew it..."

Gwen chuckled upon hearing this, turned and went to the window, pulling back the curtains that were mostly drawn.

"Don't let such a young child stay cooped up in such a dark place; it's bad for his mental health..."

"You're not that much older than me..."

Upon hearing this, Wendy muttered to herself, but also felt a warmth from the person's concern.

Compared to the strange looks and rumors from the Australian branch, the headquarters was much better off.

Moreover, with this captain, who is hailed as the strongest of the generation, there are always people who want to gossip, but they will hold back their words.

After chatting with Wendy for a while and inquiring about the girl's recent situation, Gwen confirmed that her condition was far better than during her Herrscherization. He then steered the conversation back on track—

"I didn't find any suitable gifts to bring back this time, but during the emergency mission I carried out after returning, I found a gift that might be useful to you, Wendy."

What gift?

Wendy, who was holding a half-eaten apple and had a faint smile on her rosy cheeks, tilted her head and looked at Gwen curiously when she heard this.

Although Wendy now relies on a wheelchair to move around due to her disability in both legs, she still understands her captain well because of her daily care for her.

As far as Wendy knew, Gwen probably wouldn't have said that unless it was a gift that would truly benefit him.

"Perhaps it will allow Wendy to control the power within the Gem of Desire and regain her ability to walk."

Meeting Wendy's curious gaze, Gwen smiled and revealed the answer.

"!"

Upon hearing this, Wendy's eyes widened slightly, her mouth opened a little, and her chubby little face was filled with disbelief.

It wasn't until the apple rolled off Wendy's hand and fell to the ground with a soft thud that the girl was brought back from her shock.

"Captain... are you serious?"

Wendy, her eyes gleaming with a dazzling light, stared intently at Gwen and asked in a slightly trembling voice.

Although everyone in the team took good care of her during her time at headquarters, and didn't give her any strange looks.

However, compared to her past as a genius Valkyrie, the huge gap still caused Wendy a great psychological letdown.

Do I seem like the kind of person who would lie to you about something like this?

Meeting the girl's trembling gaze, Gwen smiled and flicked her nose with his finger.

As he spoke, Gwen sat down beside Wendy and gave her a brief account of what had happened that day—

For Wendy to control the Gem of Desire, and even become the true Herrscher of Wind, adjusting her mindset is also very important.

At the very least, Wendy cannot be terrified of the Herrscher and Herrscher power.

After hearing Gwen's story, Wendy's little face still looked somewhat bewildered—

"So... the team already has two Herrscher?"

The Herrscher, beings described in textbooks as being of the highest danger level, would actually be in Wendy's team was quite a shock.

"More than."

Seeing the look of shock on Wendy's face, Gwen smiled and gently shook his finger.

"Besides Anna and Himeko, who will most likely join in the future, Mei, Kiana, and Fu Hua are also Herrscher."

"!?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy's confusion was replaced by shock once again.

After a long while, Wendy slowly recovered from her shock, but still looked somewhat dazed. Suddenly, she uttered a sentence—

"Team leader...

"What if one day during our meeting, someone plants bombs under the conference room?"

"Ouch..."

Still lost in shock, Wendy suddenly cried out in pain, clutching her head with both hands and looking at Gwen with teary eyes—

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gwen contorted with exasperation, withdrew his hand from Wendy's head.

"But we've clearly become Herrscher team..."

With teary eyes, Wendy continued to argue.

"Nonsense, I, Su Shang, and Hui Huo are all perfectly normal people."

Gwen angrily rubbed Wendy's head, messing up her neatly styled hair.

"Waaah... I was wrong..."

Feeling the large hand wreaking havoc on her head, Wendy quickly raised her hands to protect her hair.

"So, do you want to accept this gift?"

Looking at Wendy, who was standing there with teary eyes like a wronged child, Gwen snorted and asked.

"Want!"

Although she still had many doubts, Wendy answered without hesitation.

Although she still had some reservations about becoming Herrscher, Wendy didn't want to continue living like this.

Despite being part of one of the two most powerful squads in the entire Schicksal, he could only sit in a wheelchair all day, watching his friends and teammates rush to the battlefield while he hid in the rear and could do nothing.

"Let's begin then."

Seeing Wendy's reaction, Gwen smiled, put his legs together, and gestured for Wendy to lift her legs up. He still needed to carefully check the condition of the Gem of Desire.

However, seeing Gwen's actions, Wendy's pretty face flushed slightly, and she shyly lifted her feet and placed them on Gwen's lap.

His gaze swept over Wendy's smooth, white ankles, as white as glass, and her ten jade toes like bamboo shoots. Gwen glanced at Wendy, whose cheeks were flushed, and pulled the chair to move so that Wendy's legs, which must have been those of a white-stockinged client in the past, could be placed across his lap.

Chapter 427 Hui Huo: Could it be a hidden...?

"!"

Upon seeing Gwen's actions, Wendy immediately realized she had made a mistake. Her cheeks felt increasingly hot, so she simply closed her eyes and leaned back in her wheelchair.

Just as Wendy was feeling incredibly embarrassed and trying to play dumb, there was a sudden knock on the door.

After two knocks, the person outside the room pushed the door open and entered without waiting for a response.

Hearing the sound of the latch retracting and then popping back out, Wendy instantly opened her eyes and looked towards the doorway in fear.

Although Gwen was conducting a proper examination, the girl's shyness prevented her from letting others witness this scene.

Especially... those familiar people who will knock and then automatically walk in...

Gwyn's red pupils reflected Gwen's hand resting on Wendy slender legs. A look of unspeakable astonishment appeared on her delicate, doll-like, round face. She didn't even realize that the large bag of snacks she was carrying had fallen to the ground.

Meeting the astonished gaze of her friend and junior, Wendy's panicked look completely died.

However, Wendy's expression, observed by the newcomer, only confirmed a certain possibility...

However, before he could recover from his shock, Gwen's voice roused him—

"Hui Huo, are you here to see Wendy?"

Seeing that he had clearly changed into casual home clothes, and that his hair still had a faint Wuse Huohuo of moisture on it, Gwen asked with a smile.

"Um..."

Looking at Gwen, whose face remained normal, and then at Wendy, who was as red as a ripe Wendy, from her cheeks to her neck, Wuse Huohuo nodded stiffly.

Although reason tells Wuse Huohuo Gwen isn't the kind of guy who takes advantage of others in distress, Wendy's behavior is just too much like the legendary behavior of someone caught red-handed.

"You've come at the right time. Come help me support Wendy; she's a little nervous and isn't sitting quite properly."

Gwen pointed to Wendy in the wheelchair and beckoned Wuse Huohuo to come and help.

Seeing the two girls' reactions, Gwen couldn't help but find it amusing, but he was too lazy to explain—

This kind of thing will only get worse if you try to explain it.

In comparison, it's easier to Human Order directly involve the Wuse Huohuo and let it participate directly.

"Um, I..."

In a certain imagined scenario, Wuse Huohuo instinctively wanted to refuse, but looking at Gwen's rather serious profile, she took a deep breath, changed her mind, and moved closer—

"Good..."

Supporting Wendy's body, the Wuse Huohuo realized that Wendy was actually covered in sweat, and doubts began to creep into its heart once again.

Even Gwen's words, "You've come at the perfect time," stirred certain erotic thoughts in the Wuse Huohuo—

"But if it's him..."

"Hui Huo?"

Hui Huo?

Just as the girl was lost in thought, two calls suddenly rang out, pulling her back from her reverie. Her bewildered eyes met those of someone filled with helplessness.

"I told you to help Wendy up, but you almost pushed her down?"

"What, do you want me to give you a medical check-up too?"
