Even If It Costs Me My Life

Far East, St. Freya Academy

After cutting off the connection with Otto, the sternness on Theresa's face gradually faded.

In its place, an uncontrollable flash of anger appeared.

"Grandpa... you're going too far!"

There was nothing wrong with Otto's order.

At least, Theresa could find no excuse to refuse this mission right now.

Someone had indeed attacked Schicksal Headquarters, killing and injuring Schicksal's Valkyries.

And whoever had taken the Gem of Serenity clearly had no good intentions.

At the same time, the Far East Branch had five Herrschers—Void, Lightning, Wind, Ice, and Sentience—as well as Theresa, a former S-rank Valkyrie. Its combat strength truly was the greatest among Schicksal's branches.

There was nothing wrong with sending the Far East Branch to deal with such a troublesome enemy.

But Theresa knew very well that Otto had not placed his hopes on those Herrscher girls.

Aside from Fu Hua, whose own abilities were exceptional, the other Herrschers could not use their powers skillfully. Having turned against Honkai, they had also lost its support, leaving them unable to fully bring out their strength.

The person Otto truly had his eyes on was clearly Gu Yu, who was resting at the Far East Branch despite not belonging to it.

Gu Yu did not belong to Schicksal, yet he had repeatedly aided Schicksal in defeating enemies from the Honkai faction throughout past battles.

From that perspective, Gu Yu owed Schicksal nothing. If anything, quite a few of Schicksal's Valkyries owed him a great debt of gratitude.

After all, without Gu Yu's intervention, even if they had managed to defeat their enemies, those powerful Herrschers might have caused massive casualties among their soldiers.

So even if Gu Yu chose not to act in a certain battle, no one in this world had the right to criticize
