Since all the previous Welt have possessed the power of Herrscher, it's quite normal for him, as the third Anti-Entropy Leader, to have several Herrscher supporting him, right?

Slightly taken aback, Mei grasped the boy's hand without hesitation, a bright smile spreading across her face:

Didn't you say that?

No matter what happens, we'll always be together!

"..."

Looking at the girl's beautiful smile, Shi Hen vaguely felt that what she said was not the same as what he had said before.

But he quickly put that trivial doubt behind him.

At least, he has already won over the future Herrscher of Thunder, hasn't he?

Chapter 214 The Boy Who Inherited Welt Never Surrenders

Shi Hen Shihen arrived at the Equipment Research Institute with Mei, he encountered a team of Valkyrie in military green uniforms before he could even conduct a single experiment.

"You're a student named Shi Hen, right? Please come with us."

Looking down at the documents in her hand, the woman with short black hair, who was in the lead, spoke in a stern voice, her expression cold and aloof.

"What do you want to do!?"

Upon seeing the uniforms the boys were wearing, Mei immediately tensed up and instinctively stepped in front of the boy.

Unlike St. Freya, who was still a trainee, these people were all official Valkyrie of the Far East Branch!

"It's just a routine matter; it's not something you can interfere with, student."

The black-haired woman glanced at Mei and said coldly, her voice devoid of any warmth.

"Even if the Disciplinary Team wants to arrest someone, they need a warrant, right?"

He pressed down on Mei's shoulder Shi Hen said calmly.

As a strategist, he had already discerned the departments these individuals belonged to from the details of their uniforms.

If it were white-haired girl, it would probably just lament that these people's uniforms weren't as nice as hers.

"As expected of Anti-Entropy's former ace, you are indeed perceptive." Nodding approvingly, the black-haired woman then took out a piece of paper and showed it to Shi Hen and Mei. "This is an order signed by Branch Chief Theresa."

I now suspect you have connections with Welt Yang, a dangerous figure lurking in St. Freya, and I need some testimony from you.

Now that they know the former Anti-Entropy Leader is hiding in St. Freya, the Far East Branch certainly can't remain indifferent.

In order to uncover the evil conspiracy of the Anti-Entropy Leader, their Disciplinary Team worked all night without rest, turning Welt's dormitory in St. Freya upside down, and finally identified Shi Hen, the former ace of Anti-Entropy, as the suspect.

You used to be an important figure in Anti-Entropy, and now you have a close relationship with Welt. Do you dare to say you are innocent?

"Wait! Hen is innocent, you can't take him away!"

Mei immediately defended herself.

Shi Hen and the others only learned Welt's true identity last night, how could they possibly have any connection with him...

Thinking of this, Mei couldn't help but freeze in surprise.

From a normal person's perspective, the possibility that Shi Hen conspired with Welt is indeed very high.

Even though she knew that the boy had never done anything detrimental to St. Freya or the Far East Branch, would others believe him?

The document in this Valkyrie of the Disciplinary Team squad has Theresa's signature!

"Don't worry, Mei, I'll be back soon."

Shi Hen smiled at the girl and walked over to the Valkyrie Disciplinary Team, letting them put a pair of silver bracelets on his wrist.

In situations like these, honesty is the best policy.

If you're really going to be coy and hesitant, wouldn't that be tantamount to telling others that you have something to hide?

Moreover, he believed in Theresa and the others' character.

Similarly, he also believed in himself.

As she watched the boy being escorted away by several Valkyrie, Mei couldn't help but tremble and feel cold, and a few purple lightning flashed in her eyes.

For a moment, she even considered drawing her Valkyrie apart to rescue the boy.

But Mei quickly realized that doing so wouldn't solve anything, and hurriedly suppressed these crazy thoughts in her mind.

Turning around, Mei left the research institute and ran towards the Training Hall.

She needs to find the people who created these problems.

Bang!

The office door was violently kicked open. Theresa looked up at the white-haired girl that strode in, her brows furrowing involuntarily. "Kiana, what do you want?!"

If you dare kick down her door today, will you tear up her HOMU manga... oh wait, I mean important documents tomorrow?

Could it be that she spoiled the child too much?

"Theresa! Why did you send people to find traces?! You knew perfectly well he was innocent!"

With her hands on the desk, Kiana looked down at the petite Nun in front of her, her face filled with uncontrollable anger.

"Just for this?"

With a slight pursing of her lips, Theresa spoke casually, as if it were some trivial matter.

"What do you mean 'just this matter'!? Hen is... but..."

Kiana shouted angrily.

"But what?"

Theresa raised an eyebrow and pressed for an answer.

"He's a student of St. Freya! Isn't protecting students your duty as the headmistress?"

Kiana had a sudden inspiration.

"The premise is that he did not do anything to harm St. Freya."

Theresa said calmly.

He clearly didn't!

Kiana's tone was firm.

How do you prove it?

In response, Theresa crossed her arms, looking completely at ease.

"He just doesn't have it!"

Kiana used the skill [Playing the Scoundrel].

"Ha! If I really let you defend him, Shi Hen was originally fine, he'd probably be in trouble now."

Theresa let out a cold laugh.

"Hmm..."

Kiana was speechless for a moment.

"The headmaster also believes that Hen is innocent?"

Upon seeing Theresa's demeanor, Mei entered shortly after, showed delight on her face.

She's not as slow-witted as some white-haired girl.

"Ah?"

Kiana belatedly cried out in surprise.

"I am the headmistress of St. Freya Academy. There is nothing here that I do not know."

Theresa immediately raised her head, her small face filled with pride.

"So you already knew that Professor Joachim was Welt?"

Kiana looked surprised.

Theresa: "..."

If you can't speak properly, you can choose to shut up.

Looking at the silly face of the white-haired girl, Theresa suddenly felt an urge to pull out Judah and flatten it.

But knowing the child's low intelligence, she also understood that the other person truly believed what she said.

For a moment, Theresa didn't know whether she should abort the child or not.

"Ahem... Anyway, Shi Hen will be fine."

So far, all the evidence the Disciplinary Team has found points to no connection Shi Hen and Welt Yang's infiltration.

Theresa chose to change the subject and shift the focus.

"Then why did you have him arrested?!"

Kiana pressed for an answer.

"Although I know Shi Hen's character in my heart, I still have to give everyone an explanation."

Theresa said with a hint of helplessness.

It is undoubtedly a terrifying thing that an Anti-Entropy Leader has been lurking in St. Freya for so long without her noticing.

No one knows what the Anti-Entropy Leader's purpose is, or what he did during his infiltration.

The only thing the Far East Branch could do was to follow every suspicious direction and find out what kind of conspiracy this Anti-Entropy Leader was plotting.

Among these, Shi Hen is clearly the most suspicious.

Therefore, even though she was the leader of the Far East Branch, she couldn't directly pardon the boy.

At the very least, an interrogation process must be followed.

After all, this concerns the Anti-Entropy Leader, so no amount of caution is too much.

"Oh, I see."

Kiana scratched her head, and then it dawned on her.

"Think things through before acting, instead of always making a fuss!"

Looking at her silly niece, Theresa was immediately furious.

Upon hearing the news that Shi Hen had been arrested, that idiot didn't even think twice before tearing down her office door, making her feel that all her hard work had been wasted.

She was clearly very kind to this silly niece, but the other girl only trusted the boy.

Even though she was so stupid that she couldn't produce a single decent piece of evidence, this silly niece still believed in the other party.

Thinking this, Theresa felt even more heartbroken.

Sure enough, I should just throw this stupid niece away.

"Hehe~ I was just worried that you might do something wrong while on your period~"

Kiana tried to get away with it.

"Ha! Before you worry about that, you should think about what to do with my door first, shall you?"

Theresa simply sneered at this.

When something's wrong, it's her period; when nothing's wrong, it's Theresa... She's seen right through this silly niece.

"Ah?"

Kiana's jaw was slightly agape.

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Anyway, you've lost your allowance for a month... no, three months!"

Theresa said irritably.

If this silly niece isn't taught a lesson, the other girl will really tear up her comics tomorrow.

"No! Principal, I really know I was wrong!"
