It's time for things to come to a conclusion.
After all!
The ones who want to drag things out the most, besides themselves feeling uneasy about something, Are those who have something to hide.
PS1: Second update delivered. Continuing tomorrow, keep up the good work~~
024. Elysia, how many foxes can one person handle?
It is known.
When operating at the highest levels, the most crucial thing is one's position.
From a certain perspective, how Kiana is being handled and arranged right now clearly shows who has what intentions and who are their own people.
During this period.
The public can't see it.
But within countries, within organizations, among the higher-ups, large-scale changes and purges have become commonplace.
While it's not impossible that some people are using this opportunity to attack political rivals and start power struggles, More people genuinely wish for internal peace. They don't want to be diligently working only to have a troublesome teammate behind them, provoking the Herrscher of the End.
That would be truly unfair.
Regardless of what happens to the rest of the world, They still want to live.
Even if they're eighty years old, what's wrong with wanting to live one more day?
Besides.
Who doesn't have a family?
Who doesn't have descendants they're looking out for?
Are they really going to play a game of "nine generations extermination" together if a fight breaks out?
Taking the whole world down with them?
Are you kidding me~
Therefore!
Right now.
When one person achieves success, their whole family benefits.
Kiana's family has also quietly started to exert their influence.
They've rapidly placed their people in various countries and organizations.
Whether it's in business, politics, the military, or even just among the civilian population…
Their presence can be seen almost everywhere.
Many things they previously dared not approach are now within their reach.
Originally, their main base was only in Northern Europe.
In other regions and countries, they merely had sufficient influence.
Anyone can imagine.
For organizations, it's more or less acceptable.
If it were any other region or country, none of them would allow a foreign power to openly interfere in their military, politics, or core circles, grasping the nation's lifeline.
But now, this has also been achieved.
It's as if various countries and regions are showing favor to Kiana.
Previously, it was just that some among the higher-ups in each organization and country had good relationships with Kiana's family.
But now.
They've genuinely allowed family members to join, Even if it's just an honorary position.
It represents their overall attitude.
Compared to anything else, aligning with and showing favor to Kiana's family isn't a big issue.
It's not that they're truly ceding sovereignty.
It's more like they've proactively brought in a messenger, making it easier for various powers to communicate directly with Kiana's family and foster better understanding.
Therefore.
Kiana's family is aware of this.
They are not excessive and do not interfere in internal affairs.
During this time, the family held emergency meetings, and all the living ancestors were invited to oversee the work.
Regarding the successor?
Huh?
Is there even such a question?
Wasn't it our Young Lady from the very beginning?
In any case, the family unanimously decided to follow the Young Lady's lead.
Those sent out were solely responsible for the Young Lady's affairs.
If the Young Lady was happy, they were happy; if the Young Lady was unhappy, they were unhappy.
Even if the Young Lady wasn't in her awakened state yet.
She might not even manage family affairs.
But as long as she was a member of the family, the entire family belonged to her. Those who understand the times are wise, everyone knows that.
"Come! Bring out the family registry!"
Without a word, they first created a separate family registry for the Young Lady.
From now on, the family registry would begin here.
Of course.
This is also one of the differences between the West of the Previous Civilization and the West of the current civilization.
Because the Previous Civilization had only names and no surnames, all families, whether in the East or the West, had family registries.
However, here, it wasn't called a family registry.
It should be called a family roster.
But the meaning is the same!
The newly created family roster, in any case, placed Young Lady Kiana at the very top.
In bold capital letters, everyone else's names were in a smaller font.
To avoid making Kiana feel awkward, the older ancestors even voluntarily remained on the old family registry.
"We won't be moving over.
Let the younger generation come."
When Kiana heard her mother mention this, she truly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Meanwhile.
Thanks to the clearing out of high-level personnel worldwide and the efforts of the families behind them, their collective voice and active protests.
The arrangements concerning her were also officially finalized.
With all parties coordinating and discussions concluded, the elder at the head of the meeting calmly read the document, looking at everyone present.
"The international community has finally decided to entrust the care and supervision of Miss Kiana to Shenzhou. Since Canghai City is located in Shenzhou, and according to investigations, she has lived in Shenzhou for several years, continuing to live in a familiar environment will also be beneficial for her emotional stability."
"..."
He spoke.
"In addition to this."
"Miss Elysia will soon be transferred from the Flame-Chasing Moth headquarters to the Shenzhou branch."
"She will then be the one to make contact with Miss Kiana."
"As for our people, we don't need so many. Those who should be withdrawn will be withdrawn, and those who should stay will stay."
"..."
He paused slightly.
The elder surveyed everyone around him.
"Keep the troublesome members of the family in check, otherwise, no one can protect you."
"I won't say anything more."
"..."
He continued.
"The high-level personnel have been thoroughly vetted. Next, at the societal level, across all industries, especially the Umbrella Corporation, criminal organizations, etc., we will crack down with all our might, without exception."
"..."
"The Honkai has appeared, and a new era has begun."
"Comrades, we cannot afford to be chaotic, nor can the nation."
"Do you understand?"
"..."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Over at Flame-Chasing Moth's place.
First Research Institute.
"What's been up with the Doctor these past few days? She seems to have been in a bad mood." Miss Danzhu nudged her older sister.
Cang Xuan silently closed the stock trading page and took a sip of her milk tea. "I don't know... maybe the experiments aren't going too smoothly?"
"Nope!"
A sweet voice suddenly chimed in, but it didn't feel out of place.
It was Elysia.
She'd come visiting again.
"Don't forget, in the last video, you featured me and announced that you'd be featuring Mobius and Grandma next!"
"That must be why, right?"
She said with a playful grin.
"Oh dear, my poor Doctor must be dreading the next feature, knowing she'll be next in line. She probably won't be able to eat or sleep, tossing and turning, crying and wailing. Wuwuwuwu, how pitiful~"
"E·LY·SIA!"
Mobius had apparently been there for a while.
She gritted her teeth.
Elysia playfully stuck out her tongue, then feigned surprise, covering her mouth with her soft right hand and widening her bright, adorable eyes.
"Oh, Doctor, what a coincidence, I was just looking for you. And here you are, coming to see me... Does this mean we're telepathically connected?"
PS1: Here's the first update, one more to go. Keep pushing!
