Kenny and Uri

"Captain, are you injured?" Traute, with her hair tied in a low ponytail, walked up to Kenny.

Kenny had a bloodstained bandage wrapped around his arm.

Kenny grinned, casually slipped his hat on his head with his right hand, and without answering Traute's question, turned to leave.

Looking around them, they seemed to be in a Crystal world, surrounded by tall Crystal pillars, with even the floor and ceiling made of Crystal.

"Captain, Captain, Kenny! Stop!" Traute practically yelled.

Kenny stopped, a smile still playing on his lips. "What's wrong, Traute? You've lost your composure. Are you challenging the captain's authority?"

Traute looked directly into Kenny's gray eyes and said, "The Central Military Police Headquarters and the Royal Government have been suppressed. Their next target will definitely be us, Kenny. Aren't you going to do anything?"

Kenny suddenly pulled a Dagger from his pocket and said casually, "Ah, so it's Traute, you're scared. It's alright, you don't have to wait here to die. You and the other Central Military Police officers can choose to leave."

Kenny's tone was quite unfriendly.

"You bastard!" Traute rarely cursed Kenny, and he couldn't stop once he started. "You arrogant jerk, if you looked down on us so much, what ridiculous dream did you use to fool us in the first place?"

"Now you're telling us to get lost without even looking? Just as I thought! The trash from the Underground City is trash! Let me tell you, we're not leaving! We will avenge the thirteen comrades who died at the hands of the Survey Corps!"

Kenny listened blankly to Traute's accusations, even noticing the tears welling up in Traute's eyes, and felt a strange sensation.

"Ha, Traute, when did you start learning that Survey Corps stuff, 'partners'? I'm Kenny the Throat Slitter, I don't need that stuff." Kenny was a little confused and replied casually.

"Do as you please. The Action Squad will be the first line of defense. Go and explain to your king!" With that, Traute activated his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear and left.

Kenny was left standing there, her smile frozen.

"Deputy Captain, what should we do?" Traute returned to the Action Squad's assembly point, where more than thirty Central Military Police immediately surrounded him, bombarding him with questions.

Traute was torn. She knew this situation was extremely dangerous, and perhaps, as Kenny had suggested, the best course of action was for the Military Police to escape as quickly as possible.

However, Traute was extremely unwilling to accept this. When he was selected by the Military Police Brigade, Kenny's declaration and personal charm deeply impressed these Military Police Kenny. Kenny's dream was to overthrow the entire world.

Traute closed his eyes. "Gentlemen, since we chose to follow Kenny, now is the time to test that resolve. Hold the line and Dedicate Your Hearts for Kenny Ackerman's dream!"

"Yes!"

"It's complicated, but people always need to have some aspirations, right, Uri? I believe you'll understand me, won't you?" Kenny murmured to himself as he walked towards the end of the Crystal world. This Crystal Cave was the ancestral land of the Reiss Family, the sacred place where the Reiss Family inherited the power to overthrow the world.

Kenny personally witnessed Uri Reiss's power being inherited by his niece here.

When the seemingly frail and old Uri was stuffed into the mouth by his Titan Transformation niece, Kenny, who was present, instinctively drew his sharp Dagger.

But Uri seemed to sense something, and in the final moments of his life, he turned and looked at him.

Kenny released the Dagger, and Uri was eaten. Uri, the only person he could call a friend, was dead, and the girl inherited Uri's eyes.

Uri once used force to subdue Kenny. When Kenny learned from his father that the existence of the Ackerman was the work of the royal family, the hot-blooded young Kenny naturally wanted to settle accounts.

He easily learned from a cowardly Nobility that the true Royal Family was the Reiss Family.

Upon arriving at the door, Kenny witnessed a power that left him in awe. Faced with the absolute Titan Power, Kenny was like an ant.

Kenny, who frequents the Underground City, has no backbone. He begged for mercy on the spot, admitting defeat verbally, but in his heart he was constantly planning revenge, and had even mentally tortured Uri countless times.

To Kenny's surprise, Uri not only did not retaliate against him, but even knelt down and apologized humbly, saying that the misfortune of the Ackerman was the fault of the Royal Family.

Uri's behavior stands in stark contrast to Rod, who is nervously shouting that he wants to kill Kenny.

Harboring the desire to seize this power, Kenny began to serve the Royal Family. Perhaps out of curiosity about why Uri, despite his immense power, was so humble, the two became friends.

As time went on, Kenny became unsure whether he was still after that power.

After Uri's death, Kenny kept his promise and continued to serve the Reiss Family. But without Uri, he became intensely curious about the power Uri once possessed. He wanted to see the world through Uri's eyes and what made Uri so gentle.

Whether it's the Central Military Police Regiment or Levi in Underground City, Kenny originally didn't care at all, but these very things he didn't care about are now making him feel uneasy.

When he took that skinny little boy away from the brothel, how could this man, the throat-slitter who instilled fear in countless Military Police, feel even a trace of guilt? How ridiculous!

If he had come sooner, the child wouldn't have suffered so much. I heard that he went hungry for four whole days after his mother died.

Having no prior experience raising children, Kenny possessed only a collection of murder techniques and cunning schemes honed during her time in the Underground City.

After passing on all his skills to the child, Kenny chose to leave quietly, without telling the child his identity, because Kenny felt he could not bear the responsibility of that identity.

"Speaking of which, I've never heard Levi utter that word before, 'Uncle'? Ha, that's chilling."

The same goes for the Central Military Police Regiment's Action Squad; they were just a bunch of thugs from the Reiss Family. Kenny didn't care about those Military Police who seemed foolish to him. He probably killed more military Military Police than the entire Military Police Brigade had to sacrifice themselves on missions.

To his surprise, the Action Squad members whom Kenny had never paid attention to were actually won over by him. They followed Kenny instead of the king, which Kenny couldn't understand, but it also made Kenny crave the power of the Titan even more.

He believed that if it were Uri, he would know why.

The wound on his arm, left by Levi, was still faintly bleeding.

Kenny reached the very end of the Crystal Cave, where he saw Rod, his illegitimate daughter, and the boy bound in chains.
