Chapter 111
Both True Kiana and K422 were knocked to the ground by this super Crybaby.
"The Xiao San?"
"Waaaa, Sister Tesla, waaaaa..."
Crybaby starts crying, it naturally takes two people to comfort her before she can calm down.
Fortunately, what happens in the consciousness space does not affect reality, otherwise K422 would have wasted her pajamas, and the Kaslana Family's superhuman strength could have been displayed in the consciousness space.
K422's pajamas were torn to shreds by the little girl's distress, much like the fate of a little boy surrounded by hundreds of pretty young ladies.
"Xiao San, you don't love me anymore. Now all you do is talk about Sister Tesla." K422 naturally put on a stern face.
"Xiao Er..."
Seeing K422's jealous face, True Kiana was both amused and exasperated; even her little sister was jealous.
"No, no, I love my second sister the most," K423 sobbed.
K422 raised the corners of her mouth. "Oh, so your favorite is your second sister? That means your older sister isn't your favorite?"
Hearing her say that, K423 hurriedly changed her words and said, "I also like my older sister the most. I like both my older sister and my second older sister the most!" K423 had a sudden inspiration and came up with the famous saying, "I like them all."
"So... where does your Sister Tesla rank as your favorite?"
However, before K422 could finish speaking, her arm was grabbed and bitten by True Kiana.
"Let go! Let go!"
K422 has no defenses in the consciousness space, so it naturally hurts a lot when True Kiana bites it like that.
"I told you not to be Xiao San, Xiao San? Your second sister was just joking with you, don't fall for it every time..."
True Kiana said with a hint of helplessness after letting go of K422's arm.
At this moment, K423 had already snuggled into K422's arms and started acting cute.
"What does it matter? The Xiao San is so cute~ Hmm, you're cute too."
"I don't need your praise..." True Kiana was speechless.
After playing around with K423 for a while and letting her have her fill of being cute, the two of them finally understood why K423, this Crybaby, started crying right away.
"Because your Sister Tesla has to go out to work, and you can't go with her, so... you can only cry to your sister and second sister in your dreams? Where is your Siegfried father?"
"Hmm? I don't like that... person whose feet aren't clean and smelly."
"..."
"..."
Seeing K423's disgusted look, K422 and True Kiana naturally fell silent as well.
"No, it won't work, there's no way to wash it... True Kiana, is there any way to salvage his image?"
"No." True Kiana slapped away K422's hands that were holding her.
"Don't try to comfort me, I don't need comforting like Xiao San does..."
"Don't you need it?" K422 was naturally worried about True Kiana, who was living alone at home.
There must have been many things in that house that brought back painful memories for her, and she lived there for a period of time when she was still young.
"I'm the older sister, how can I let my younger sister take care of me all the time?"
True Kiana answered stubbornly.
The black flame in her heart became very weak once again.
Hatred is like a candle flickering in the wind.
119. And she actually won!
The next few days were not peaceful, and everyone in the Schicksal Headquarters felt uneasy.
K422, along with Theresa as Acting Grand Bishop and Grand Bishop's Aide, and Otto having left the Schicksal Headquarters for recuperation, are gradually having an impact on the world.
"Thank goodness it arrived today..."
At this point, K422 glared fiercely at Theresa.
"Waaah..."
Theresa clutched her chest, naturally avoiding eye contact with K422.
"They could have come a couple of days ago, but someone just casually agreed to take a vacation, and it was even paid leave. Not only was one vacation not enough, they took two at the same time. In the end, they only allowed one person to come, saying that the Far East Branch needed someone to guard it."
Hearing K422 speak to her in a sarcastic tone, Theresa lowered her head deeply.
The elaborate Grand Bishop's Aide robes offered her no protection whatsoever; her ashamed face remained exposed to K422's gaze.
"Let Laguna take charge of the Far East Branch."
"Waaah... Kiana, please give me some face..."
"We're in that bastard bishop's office now. Who else is here besides us?"
K422 patted the table.
The chair that should have been occupied by the Grand Bishop's Aide was also taken by her, the Acting Grand Bishop.
At this moment, K422 was sitting in the luxurious chair that Otto often sat in, with his feet placed on the chair that the Grand Bishop's Aide.
Of course, there was originally no chair for the Grand Bishop's Aide, since Otto had never needed the Grand Bishop's Aide before.
Theresa's chair, Grand Bishop's Aide, was naturally newly made.
Unfortunately, it was used by K422 to place its feet, while Theresa stood pitifully in front of the table.
"Kiana, at least sit up straight..."
"I am now the Acting Grand Bishop, and I can sit however I want."
But K422 seemed to find the Grand Bishop's seat very uncomfortable, especially since Otto often sat on that chair, so he stood up unhappily.
He changed to sit in the new chair that the Grand Bishop's Aide, and then arrogantly placed his feet on the Grand Bishop's luxurious chair.
"Let me first list your sins, Theresa!"
"Waaah..."
"Reading comics during work hours is dereliction of duty."
"But Kiana was also eager to see it, wasn't she?"
"How dare you talk back to your superior! I am the Acting Grand Bishop, my authority is higher than yours, therefore my position is higher than yours. I said you neglected your duties, and you did neglect your duties!"
K422 was immediately enraged.
She absolutely had to get back at him!
Theresa instinctively tried to run away, but K422 caught her and gave her a good beating.
"I told you to give your secretary a day off, and to act on your own initiative!"
K422 said, feigning a fierce expression.
In fact, she was really furious with Theresa a couple of days ago.
After all, just two days ago, she learned from Theresa that Theresa had given her secretary a few days off.
Because the other party is a woman with children at home, K422 also wanted to provide room and board so that the secretary could come to work at Schicksal as soon as possible. Even if the other party brought her husband, it wouldn't matter. Schicksal is a large and wealthy company, and no matter what the secretary's husband is good at, they can always arrange a suitable position for him.
But!!
Theresa left it for two days without consulting her at all, and then left it for another two days.
Today he even seemed to want to give his secretary a day off.
And it's paid leave.
"Theresa, if you don't come up with an excuse today, you won't get any allowance this month!"
Although Otto often gave Theresa pocket money, Theresa could forget about such a happy life ever since she took over Schicksal.
"Waaah..."
Theresa clearly sensed that her savings would gradually shrink.
"Kiana, you can't do this. Managing the Far East Branch is very expensive. Recently, our Far East Branch recruited a batch of employees and is also building a new branch base."
"Uh, is the Far East Branch doing that well?"
K422 tilted its head, looking completely confused.
Just as K422 said before, the Schicksal is a large and powerful organization, so it has many places where it needs to spend money.
The Floating Battleship that Theresa damaged earlier needs to be repaired, and even though Otto paid for it, it was still using funds from Schicksal.
This Floating Island also needs a complete overhaul.
Otto's design attracted the Anti-Entropy organization, which led sabotage, resulting in the destruction of one-tenth of the Asgard Floating Island.
One of the hybrid Honkai Beast created by Otto wreaked havoc, causing another tenth of the Asgard Floating Island to be destroyed, and this time it also affected the Honkai Energy Reactor.
The damage inflicted on the Floating Island by the two attacks was too severe.
Research institutes in various places also need money, and local branches also need Schicksal. The funds invested in research are a bottomless pit.
Therefore, the annual funding allocated by headquarters to local branches is not much.
Under normal circumstances, the annual funding received by the branch is not enough to support the construction of its own branch bases. The funding is mostly allocated to the research institutes under each branch.
Theresa's Far East Branch not only recruited a number of employees, but also began to build a branch base.
"Could it be that damned bishop has once again arbitrarily increased funding for the Far East Branch?"
Perhaps because Theresa was the manager of the Far East Branch, the Far East Branch received more funding each year than other branches.
It has to be said that Otto really dotes on Theresa.
Otto provided substantial funding for everything from the Far East Branch's expenses and Theresa's allowance to even the St. Freya Academy that Theresa built.
It can be said that everything Theresa had was funded by Otto.
Even St. Freya Academy, where Theresa wanted to rebel against Otto's ideals, from the artificial island the academy occupied to the various facilities inside, and the construction process of the academy, all revealed Otto's doting on her.
On this basis, Theresa's Far East Branch even had funds to expand recruitment and build a new sub-base.
"... That's really suspicious."
"You are underestimating me and my Far East Branch."
"No, Theresa, I was just underestimating you. The Far East Branch's sudden surge in strength clearly started when you were staying at the Schicksal Headquarters ... In other words, the Far East Branch only suddenly developed because you were gone. That's the more reasonable explanation."
K422 then shared his analysis results.
"..."
Theresa's eyes immediately went blank.
K422 nodded and said, "That's right. I'm really looking forward to the arrival of the Far East Branch Secretary. The airship that was supposed to pick us up should have arrived at the First Airport by now."
"Kiana, just you wait. I'll show you that when I get serious, I can be pretty tough."
"No, move away from my desk and go drink your milk and bitter melon juice over there." K422 had absolutely no faith in Theresa's work ability.
Theresa said with a bitter face, "It's clearly bitter melon milk... I'm going to pick someone up. When Tra arrives, you'll see what I'm capable of."
"Tra?"
As Theresa ran away, K422 repeated the name.
"No way, if this is true, then... the Far East Branch is..."
K422 shook her head; she couldn't believe something so stupid could happen.
Several tens of minutes later, Theresa arrived at the Grand Bishop's office with her secretary.
"Kiana, this is my secretary Tra. The development of the Far East Branch is inseparable from her and another secretary," Theresa boasted.
It was as if he himself was the one managing the Far East Branch in such an orderly and efficient manner.
K422 frowned.
"Hello, Sister Tesla..."
