The Enemy's Plan?

Inside the St. Freya team's submarine, Himeko and Fu Hua had long since been standing by.

By the time Kiana and the others entered the submarine, Himeko was already seated in the pilot's chair.

"Major Himeko, we're here."

Mei stepped forward to report.

"Wow! Auntie Himeko, you're the one piloting the submarine?"

Kiana's eyes lit up as she looked at Himeko.

"So dizzy..."

"Bleurgh..."

Even Kiana, who was usually so carefree, was a little worried now.

Could she really get through this mission safely...

Inside another submarine, a rather peculiar group had gathered.

Bianca, Rita, Xing Yaxiao, and Jiang Fanmi.

Jiang Fanmi stood in
