The off-road vehicle, accelerating to its limit, suddenly shot off the cliff edge amidst shouts of alarm.

At that moment, the black off-road vehicle was like a soaring bird, or a soaring eagle.

But in the next second, it was like a kite in a windless zone, falling headfirst towards the cruise ship below.

"Aaaaaahhhhhhh—"

Piercing screams rang out.

"Great White Shark" cruise ship, outer deck.

As it was already dark, the neon lights had long been lit, making the entire cruise ship appear dreamlike and enchanting.

Those who could board this ship were, if not all wealthy and influential, at least people with some standing and background.

At a glance, the deck was filled with dashing young scions of wealthy families, or successful and imposing big bosses.

Of course, there were also some outliers.

For example, on a lounge chair, there was a handsome middle-aged man with short white hair and large sunglasses.

Sigfried was holding a newspaper, pretending to read it while his peripheral vision continuously scanned the crowd around him.

Just like Ren Yu, he had boarded this cruise ship because he had his sights set on the Tranquility Gem.

In just a short while, he had already spotted quite a few "wealthy businessmen" whose conduct clearly bore the hallmarks of the Schicksal organization.

Sigfried chewed his gum, suddenly let out a laugh, and thought to himself—it looks like there will be some good entertainment tonight.

As he had expected, the ship was indeed filled with Schicksal and Anti-Entropy pawns, as well as agents from various unknown organizations.

Making a rough estimate, Sigfried found that in this situation, two-thirds of the total number of people were still genuine gamblers.

It seemed that quite a few gamblers were attracted by the thrill of gambling.

"Gamble, gamble, you won't stop until you're bankrupt..."

Sigfried looked at these gambling fanatics and couldn't help but laugh.

Due to Schicksal and Anti-Entropy's news blockade, most ordinary people were unaware of the Honkai.

Of course, they were also unaware that there was a group of extraordinary individuals in the world.

To think they could win against these people by using clumsy sleight of hand, or relying on luck that might not even exist?

What a joke!

As Sigfried laughed, he suddenly thought of his daughter, his expression turning somewhat sad.

He gazed westward, towards the Mediterranean, the location of Schicksal's headquarters, and where his daughter was trapped—the pain of his life.

Lost in thought, Sigfried clenched his fist slightly, his emotions stirring.

He longed to grab Heavenly Fire Judgment, charge towards the Mediterranean with his burning passion, storm Schicksal's headquarters, confront Otto, question why he imprisoned his daughter, question why he fired the Honkai fission bomb at Cecilia, and finally, shoot him dead.

But he couldn't, and he wouldn't.

If he were to sacrifice himself in vain, it would be exactly what Otto wanted, and he would never have a chance to reclaim Kiana.

Finally, Sigfried gradually relaxed his clenched fist and gave a self-deprecating smile.

He had to wait, wait for an opportunity to turn the tables.

For this reason, he chose to cooperate with Schicksal's arch-nemesis—Anti-Entropy, waiting for the moment they would fall out with Schicksal and officially go to war.

After watching for a while, Sigfried suddenly turned his head again, looking directly towards the harbor, and murmured, "So many years have passed, I wonder how she is doing."

Besides his eldest daughter Kiana being trapped in Schicksal's headquarters, he actually had another younger daughter—K423, who was Kiana's clone.

After he defected from Schicksal, he had also brought K423 out with him.

Initially, Sigfried hadn't treated her as his real daughter.

But after a period of interaction and communication, he realized that he had actually developed a paternal affection for this "daughter" as well.

Eventually, he even gave her the name "Kiana."

"I wonder how she is doing now."

Chapter 30: Run

Regarding this "little daughter," his feelings were also quite complex.

There was reluctance, guilt, and heartache.

As a father, he felt he was quite a failure.

This was true for both of his daughters.

As he thought about it, Sigfried's eyes began to show a look of remembrance.

—After this incident is over, I'll sneak a visit to St. Freya to see her. She should be almost an adult soon. What gift should I get her?

As he was thinking, the crowd around him suddenly erupted in a wave of exclamations.

Those in formal wear, those in suits, men, women, old, young.

At that moment, they all looked up at the sky.

Above, an unidentified object was falling.

"What is that?!" someone exclaimed.

"A UFO?!"

"No, it looks like a car!"

What was happening?!

Sigfried also looked up, and saw a vehicle with its headlights on falling from the sky.

Besides that, he could vaguely make out several open white parachutes attached to the rear of the vehicle.
