The Boy Is Sneaking In

This level of perfunctoriness reminded Shi Hen of a peerless powerhouse who once single-handedly challenged the three Herrscher of Origin, Finality, and Truth— Wendy.

When Mei and Wendy were rescued from ME Company, the Valkyrie of Schicksal were very busy, and the headquarters couldn't even spare an A-rank Valkyrie.

However, when they tried to retrieve the Desire Gem from Cocolia, the Blade of Immortality managed to chase her all the way to Haiyuan City, even though both S-rank Valkyrie were absent, and almost couldn't even keep the children from the orphanage.

All I can say is that Wendy must have offended a higher-dimensional narrator somewhere.

But regardless, since he's already here, Shi Hen can do is try to reclaim the Serenity Gem in his current capacity.

After handing the suitcases to the waiter who was taking them to the room, Shi Hen led the two directly to the buffet restaurant.

Kiana was slightly surprised when she saw the elegantly decorated restaurant, which made Mei frown slightly.

They are carrying important responsibilities, and making such a fuss is really not in line with the principle of keeping a low profile.

"It's okay. The more natural Kiana acts, the more it fits our current disguise."

Mei gave Mei a reassuring look Shi Hen comforted her with a smile.

Now that they knew the enemy came from Anti-Entropy, the three of them naturally wouldn't show up without making a fuss, even if some of the people from Anti-Entropy might not recognize them.

They not only disguised their appearance, but also concealed their identities.

Now, they are young lady Mei of a conglomerate, and her two ordinary friends.

At least in terms of clothing, Mei did not wear a dazzling array of luxurious accessories, but the details showed her taste and style. Her black dress perfectly highlighted the young young lady demeanor that she had cultivated since childhood.

As for Kiana... since even dressing the white-haired girl in princess-like dresses can't hide her silliness, she might as well just be an ordinary girl.

In any case, their false identities only need to fool the enemy for a short time.

Hearing the boy's words, Mei felt relieved and gave Kiana a slightly apologetic smile.

Having spent almost a year with the other party, Mei naturally didn't feel any disgust towards the white-haired girl's naive behavior; she was just worried that it would affect the mission.

After officially acquiring the title of Valkyrie, this was still their first important mission, Mei did not want it to end in failure.

Moreover, the Shi Hen was the captain of this mission made the girl take it even more seriously.

Facing Mei's apologetic smile, Kiana, who was not aware of what was happening at all, just responded with a very honest and innocent smile, then looked at the boy and said, "Can we eat all these foods as we please?"

Just looking at the table piled high with delicious food, she couldn't resist the urge to pounce on it.

The mission didn't matter anymore; all she wanted now was to treat herself.

"Of course, young lady Mei treating us this time." Shi Hen glanced at the black-clad bodyguard in the corner of the restaurant and smiled at the white-haired girl whose eyes were already shining. "Of course, try not to waste any food."

Although only three of them were sent, the funding provided by Schicksal was quite ample, enough for them to enjoy themselves in Singapore for several days.

Having conquered two-thirds of the world, Schicksal has never lacked funding.

Just a few days ago, Schicksal Entertainment released a new promotional video for the Kallen Fantasy series, which is said to be a big production that surpasses all its predecessors.

Shi Hen had already foreseen that a certain Eastern Yokai Fox would die a very high-level death inside.

After all, in that short promotional video, the Eastern Yokai Fox already had six ways to die.

"Yoho~" Kiana cheered and immediately ran towards the food area of the buffet restaurant. "Now I'll show you my true strength!"

"Kiana, wait!"

Unable to resist speaking up, Mei felt that this white-haired girl had completely forgotten about the mission.

Smiling and shaking his head, Shi Hen said softly, "Since you have some free time, let's enjoy this journey."

At least on the surface, they entered the country as tourists.

"Hmm~"

Mei glanced at the boy, meeting his gentle and calm gaze, and could only nod helplessly.

After selecting their food and finding a relatively quiet spot to sit down, Shi Hen added some vegetables to the plate piled high with meat and seafood for the white-haired girl, saying, "A balanced diet of meat and vegetables is essential for nutrition."

"Hmm..."

Looking at the few patches of green on the top of her plate, and then at Mei's ample bosom that even her black suspender dress couldn't hide, Kiana suddenly became sullen.

Ignoring the white-haired girl's resentful gaze, Shi Hen around out of the corner of his eye, and said, "Kiana, although I've already mentioned the mission objective before, I still have to remind you again in case you forget."

"Mmm~"

Kiana took a big bite of a roast suckling pig and nodded vigorously.

She has indeed almost forgotten everything.

Since Shi Hen, why does she go to so much trouble?

"To make a long story short, there are two objectives for this mission: the Serenity Gem and Dr. Maki."

Shi Hen's words are concise and authentic.

Unlike Fu Hua in the original timeline, who intended to complete the mission alone from the beginning, he was very willing to rely on the strength of his companions.

"Hen, is it really just the three of us on this mission?"

Mei glanced around casually, then asked while cutting her steak.

Having once possessed the power to Conquest Gem, she knew very well what the Serenity Gem meant.

Theoretically speaking, this should be a task assigned to S-rank Valkyrie.

"There might be others, but that's not something we need to consider." After handing Kiana and Mei a crab claw each, Shi Hen said calmly, "Although I also tend to think that the higher-ups want to use this to test our abilities, we must also be prepared for the possibility of not receiving any reinforcements."

Well, even ignoring Kiana, whose identity Theresa tried to conceal, he and Mei are former Anti-Entropy ace and Third Herrscher, respectively, so the strength of the entire team cannot be judged by common sense.

The most reasonable explanation from Shi Hen and the others' perspective is that this challenging mission was used to test their abilities.

However, from the perspective of the Behind-the-Scenes Boss... it's simply because Schicksal doesn't have S-rank Valkyrie available at the moment.

After all, the real target of this operation is the current Anti-Entropy Leader!

Everyone's actions now are simply a ploy to lure out the big fish.

"I see."

Mei expression becoming somewhat serious.

Kiana... was happily eating a crab claw.

Seeing the two girls' completely different expressions, Shi Hen couldn't help but smile.

Since there's still plenty of time, and everyone here is basically an actor, it's fine for them to relax for a while.

The only one who truly believed that the goal of this operation was to create Herrscher of Death was probably Cocolia.

Thinking of that Anti-Entropy executor, Shi Hen couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Did the other side not learn their lesson last time in Changkong City?

Knowing their own weakness, they still want to create a Herrscher. Aren't they afraid of really messing things up?

Or was it those clones that gave her courage? Making her feel like she could stand up to Welt White and the others again?

Shi Hen felt that this leader of the Anti-Entropy radical faction was somewhat lacking in discipline.

Let's wait for Welt White to have a proper heart-to-heart talk with the other party.

Having been the Anti-Entropy Leader for so long, [Welt White] should also start building rapport with his subordinates.

Meanwhile, in a suite at the Queen Hotel.

Yae Sakura, Chi You, and Fu Hua sat facing each other across a small table, their expressions varying.

Yae Sakura smiled gently, while Chi You gave Fu Hua a provocative smile. Only the immortal's face appeared slightly stiff.

"According to the agreement between the Serpent and the Schicksal Bishop, we entrust the Lord to act with us for the time being."

Yae Sakura nodded slightly to Fu Hua and said softly.

Whether it's a matter of mutual restraint or genuine cooperation, at least in this operation, Fu Hua temporarily belongs to World Serpent.

I will keep my promise.

But you don't need to call me Lord, and I will not be your Lord.

Fu Hua shook her head helplessly.

Even with her damaged memory, her intuition told her that the World Serpent was not a good place.

Moreover, she disliked the organization's arrogant attitude.

When facing people of this era, the other party always seems to be accustomed to placing themselves in a position akin to gods, completely arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

"Hmph! Chiyuan, it seems that even if you've lost your memory, you're still as indecisive as ever."

Seeing Fu Hua like this, Chi You couldn't help but laugh.

Having merged with Jilin and possessing most of her memories, she knew very well what kind of person Fu Hua was in the past.

A wise person values self-awareness.

Fu Hua simply shook her head slightly at Chi You's words.

She knew very well that she was not suited to be a leader, especially not the head of the Serpent Organization.

She doesn't have the charisma to command everything.

"Ha?"

Chi, the illiterate, tilted his head in confusion.

In Jilin's time, writing had only just been invented, and it was created under the guidance of Cang Xuan.

Seeing this, Yae Sakura couldn't help but smile, took out a board of Ludo from her bag, and asked, "Since we still have time, how about we play a few rounds?"

According to the plan, they must remain hidden until at least [Welt White] makes his appearance.

Fu Hua: "???"

As a member of the Serpent Organization and a Herrscher, why do you carry this with you at all times?

Chapter 227 The Boy Is Sneaking In

Queen Hotel, upper level area.

"Cocolia up to? Doesn't she really want the gem?"

Why should we stay on this island nation instead of returning directly to Anti-Entropy?

Looking at the deep night outside the window, and then at the man in front of her who had been forcibly named Walt by the will of a higher dimension, Maki asked three questions in a row.

When asked about the old man's question, Walt calmly peeled the banana in his hand and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, old man?"

It's just a minor inconvenience; headquarters will send someone to pick us up in a couple of days.

Besides, this is a neutral country; the Valkyrie forces of Schicksal can't get in. At most, only a few small mice might sneak in.

In this world, although most countries are vassals of Schicksal or Anti-Entropy, there are also some neutral regions.

According to the agreement, neither the forces of Schicksal nor Anti-Entropy are allowed to enter neutral areas.

However, correspondingly, if these places Honkai, the local governments must handle the situation independently.

This is the price of freedom.

Singapore is one of the few neutral regions.

This is why Walt and Maki chose to stay here.

Regardless of their true nature, Singapore's apparent neutrality allows them to avoid a lot of trouble.

"I hope you will keep your promise, otherwise don't expect me to help you unlock the secret of the gem."

Hearing Walt's somewhat perfunctory answer, Maki had no choice but to accept it and issue a weak threat.

Now that he was already on the Anti-Entropy bandwagon, he had no choice but to trust the other party.

The only thing that gave Maggie some peace of mind was that he had conducted many experiments related to the Serenity Gem.

If Cocolia wants to obtain the power of the Serenity Gem, his skills and experience are indispensable.

Upon hearing Maki's words, Walt licked his banana, a mocking smile curving his lips.

Just how important does this old guy think of himself?
