Chapter 89

"Kingdom?"

"The Orphanage Kingdom."

What does that mean? Einstein looked bewildered, but Schrödinger's expression was too ordinary; in fact, she rarely showed any emotion.

Tesla, on the other hand, seemed thoughtful.

Everyone else's expressions remained normal, even Elysia's smile was bright and cheerful.

After all, today is the anniversary celebration, and the next few days will be lively and bustling.

Anna?

Elysia forced herself not to be angry; after all, what Anna was doing was something she'd done before.

"Where's Mei- senpai?" An Yu suddenly remembered something.

I didn't see Mei- senpai today. Didn't she go to take care of Kiana yesterday?

Schrödinger's expressionless face showed a hint of shock. "You still have time to pay attention to others?"

Hachiman, I acknowledge your resilience!

Did Mei come today?

Kiana suddenly interrupted, her sky-blue pupils shining brightly, like a cat that had just bumped into a ball of yarn.

Didn't she go to take care of you yesterday?

Kiana blinked rapidly. "Really? I don't remember."

She looked at the others, who seemed unaware of the matter.

"Bronya knows."

After An Yu finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent. Boss Bronya had left.

"Just pretend Mei- senpai didn't come."

Speaking of which, Mei- senpai didn't eat dinner yesterday either, and she was feeling down all by herself.

The question was quickly answered when the younger generation arrived at the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, before the doors were even opened.

Kiana looked around curiously, while Mei stood at the very top, her posture upright, her face cool and aloof, her long, shapely legs together, quietly standing beside the highest podium, attracting the attention of most people.

Is she the successor to Anti-Entropy's future?

Anna whispered a question in An Yu's ear.

"I don't know, "An Yu said in silence for a moment, but then she thought of Mei- senpai, who was upright and had been developing against Anti-Entropy, unlike Bronya was so ambitious. It was normal for her to go up there.

In previous years, this place was always occupied by Koko or Uncle Ryoma. Now, it's just a matter of time before Mei's generation takes their place.

"Bud...!"

Before Kiana could jump up, An Yu quickly reached out and pressed her down.

Kiana blinked.

"Wait a minute, if you shout now, Ryoma's impression of you will only worsen."

Skipping over a bunch of meaningless platitudes, enthusiastic applause erupted from below. After all, paid leave meant you could have fun without even needing tickets—giving the boss some face, right?

"The company prepared many rewards for this year's annual meeting, most of which can be redeemed with points. Everyone had a great time."

Mei put down the microphone, her icy expression melting away, replaced by a genuine smile.

The applause grew even louder; not everyone present was an employee, but also many of their family members.

It's really nice working for a big company; they even have anniversary celebrations. An Yu never even dreamed of that before.

"Ya~Yi!"

Kiana cupped her hands to her lips and shouted loudly.

Mei looked in the direction of the sound, smoothed her hair slightly, and looked exceptionally energetic, until Raiden Ryoma arrived at the group before she did.

On the other side, Anna asked softly, "Why are we leaving?"

"I have a feeling that if I stay there, I'll be used as a shield," An Yu replied softly.

Speaking of Elysia, An Yu felt that it was unusually quiet around him today. He subconsciously looked around and saw his older sister alone in the crowd, her eyes looking somewhat lost, like a lost child.

Anna smiled sweetly, "How did you lose Elysia?"

Although Anna had a terrible first impression of Elysia, she still believes that the old witch Elysia stole her life.

What's so good about the Schariac Family?

The thought of the two of them squeezing into a rented room, relying on each other and finding warmth in one another, only fueled her young heart's anticipation.

"Sister Elysia!"

An Yu shouted loudly, and Elysia, who was in the distance, finally found her target. Her little face was pouting, and she ran towards them with quickened her pace, looking a little aggrieved.

However, before Elysia could even smile, a tall and slender figure, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, barged into An Yu's unsafe side without warning.

"Search: 9↓÷∝♂sn№}♀>⊙∏Help, An Yu, please."

Mei pleaded in a low voice, speaking very quickly.

An Yu:...

I knew it all along; anyone who ran even a fraction slower would have gotten into trouble.

Elysia froze in her jogging motion. She looked at the tall and graceful Raiden Mei, and her smile was about to freeze when she seemed to sense something and glanced at Anna.

"Miss Anna, right? Borrow it from your boyfriend for a bit, he'll return it in a moment! I promise I'll give it back intact!"

Mei spoke in a very low voice. She almost fell when she saw her father. If Kiana got on Anti-Entropy's blacklist, she would have to stay home in confinement. That would be terrible!

Anna's sweet face looked a little awkward. Who told you that you can borrow a boyfriend?

"Mei- senpai, please, I beg you, spare me..."

An Yu pleaded, and the commotion they made had already attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, who naturally made way for them.

All eyes were focused on the bright pink-haired, blue-eyed girl, Elysia, who was being held by Anna on one side and was now being pressed tightly against by the tall Mei... the eye of the storm.

He hasn't exactly lived a life of good deeds, but he hasn't done anything particularly evil either. You three starter families shouldn't use me as part of your scheme.

"An Yu! Can you bear to see Kiana kicked out of North America by my dad, then blacklisted here, and never be able to have anything to do with him again...?"

Mei pleaded in a low voice, and besides, it's okay for Kiana to suffer a little now, after all, this yuri-loving Kiana seems to have betrayed her, she can't let anything happen to her.

She's an adult; if she gets whipped for something so trivial, where can she even complain?

"Mei, if you can't bear to see Kiana, can you really bear to watch me get sunk into the Pacific Ocean by Ryoma- sank?"

If Ryoma's family line ends, I, as the descendant who helped cover it up, will be held a grudge by Ryoma for the rest of my life.

"I promise, in two years when I take over ME Corp., you'll be the vice president!"

"You've had enough pancakes, Mei!"

"Let's sign a contract! Besides An Yu, you're not afraid of my dad at all!"

Volume 1: Chapter 131 (130) After you turned my daughter gay, did you fall in love?

Signing a contract... well, that's another story. An Yu, who was focused on making a lot of money, suddenly felt a little tempted.

"An Yu..."

Anna's fingers clenched unconsciously. Well, being born into the Schariac Family did have one advantage.

"I am here."

An Yu's smile was helpless, but after a moment her smile returned to its bright and cheerful state.

"Sorry, Mei, you'll have to find someone else to act as a shield for us..."

Looking for someone else... are you just going to watch someone else get their legs broken? You, An Yu, are the only kid in the second generation of the Anti-Entropy circle that everyone is satisfied with.

Mei felt a deep sadness in her heart.

However, before she could process her grief, Kiana had already hopped over, showing no sign of guilt on her face, and behind her was the grim-faced Raiden Ryoma.

"Here, this is my boyfriend!"

Kiana grabbed An Yu's arm, her face held high, her tone filled with inexplicable pride.

Mei:...

Anna's face stiffened, while Elysia stood expressionless to the side, arms crossed, calmly watching the scene unfold.

Kiana blinked rapidly as she turned her head to the side. An Yu remained silent for a long time before Anna let go of her hand first.

"Yes, my cousin and An Yu have known each other for a long time."

The sweet smile on her face was somewhat subtle, but she tolerated it for the sake of her cousin Kiana.

Anna knew that her cousin liked girls.

Mei glanced at Anna; wasn't this child very possessive just now?

Kiana! You two really have a deep sisterly bond!

"It's been a long time. I was planning to visit you yesterday, Ryoma- senpai."

An Yu remained silent for a moment, then chose to cooperate with their performance. She regretted agreeing to sign the contract earlier; now she was at a huge loss.

"Then why didn't you come yesterday?" Raiden Ryoma asked calmly, though he seemed somewhat displeased.

"Yesterday, I was looking up things in the archives with the teacher. By the time we finished, it was already past 10 p. m. I was planning to come this morning, but it seems that my senior and Mei arrived here a long time ago and aren't home."

An Yu's words were flawless, but Raiden Ryoma's expression remained unfriendly.

He calmly pointed at Kiana, repeatedly asking, "Are you sure this child is your girlfriend?"

Kiana quickly forced a smile and hugged her good friend An Yu. "No, that's not it, but we're buddies, so please help me out."

She didn't say it aloud, but Kiana thought that An Yu was smart enough to understand what she meant.

An Yu nodded.

Upon receiving the answer, Raiden Ryoma was both angry and amused.

"Mei, go home."

Raiden Mei paused for a moment.

"I'll call Siegfried in a bit. He should be here in four or five hours. We have a free-fighting match at noon." Raiden Ryoma's expression was icy.

Kiana was stunned. What did that mean? Call the parents!

Raiden Ryoma stared coldly at Kiana, but his expression softened considerably when he looked at Raiden Mei.

Raiden Mei hesitated for a moment. "I signed up for quite a few activities today."

Raiden Ryoma managed to calm himself down a bit. "Then go play first. You've been busy for so long, have some fun for a while."

An Yu hesitated before asking, "Um, senior?"

What kind of atmosphere is this? Why does Ryoma seem so imposing all of a sudden?

"You guys go have fun first, I want to be alone for a bit."

Raiden Ryoma rubbed his forehead, his eyes icy cold.

Are you saying that Kiana, after turning my daughter gay, found a boyfriend herself? Or is it An Yu?

Thinking of this, Raiden Ryoma was so angry he laughed again. If it weren't for the fact that she was Siegfried's daughter, he would have sunk Kiana into Tokyo Bay today.

Oh,")≤‰&:>SanshenzhongqN: An Yu's girlfriend, right?

It's okay, judging from An Yu's expression, he doesn't seem very sincere. I'll just give him shares later... Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs. "Kiana is Siegfried's daughter, that bastard!

Feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, the group quickly fled the low-pressure area.

After running quite a distance, Kiana muttered with lingering fear, "I have a feeling this involves my dad too."

Anna, all smiles, hugged her cousin and subtly pulled Kiana aside.

"When did you two become so close?"

Raiden Mei hugged her chest, her previous fragility gone, and quietly watched An Yu and Kiana.

Elysia wasn't surprised. Everyone knew that An Yu and her sister were very close and depended on each other. Now it seemed that the information needed to be updated.
