The Reason to Fight

The Team Seven's first mission was met with an unexpected situation. What a coincidence!

"We left no trace, but Einstein and the others would probably still have some doubts."

Lin Xiao raised his head slightly and said.

World Serpent are always secretive and rarely leave any traces.

Even with the somewhat arrogant Welt White, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy haven't found much useful information about him yet.

Even without any obvious traces, the coincidences in this incident are simply too numerous.

Hubbard happened to discover the additional information about the mission, and happened to have the authority to make changes, which he then assigned to the Team Seven.

Then, Cocolia happened to discover all of this.

Moreover, even when they encountered the strength of the Honkai zombie, it just so happened that the Team Seven was unable to cope with them under normal circumstances.

Connecting all the details of this incident, anyone with a modicum of intelligence would realize something is amiss and sense a sinister force at play.

Don't underestimate those who implement Anti-Entropy.

Of course, Shi Hen wasn't afraid that Einstein and others could actually find out anything.

Because among those involved in this matter, only Shi Hen is a member of the World Serpent. The rest, including Hubbard, are all 100% pure Anti-Entropy people.

Shi Hen did was place a sharpened knife in front of Hubbard and watch him swing it down.

Just like he guided Peggy, he only gave her a trivial little hint.

Sometimes, manipulating someone isn't that difficult.

"It doesn't matter, the more they suspect, the better."

The boy shrugged.

If we attribute all the blame for this incident to Hubbard, how can we demonstrate his greatness?

It's obvious which is more important: thwarting the impulsive actions of a conservative pawn or thwarting a mastermind's scheme to Anti-Entropy.

The deeper the darkness that covets Anti-Entropy, the more its light and brilliance will stand out.

"But won't they suspect the adults?"

"The Lin Xiao asked."

In this incident, Shi Hen was indeed too conspicuous, occupying the center position completely.

"Doubt? Do you doubt my intention to bridge the conflict between the two factions of Anti-Entropy?"

Shi Hen grinned.

If people realize that there is a mastermind behind this incident, they would generally think that the other party is trying to sow discord between the two factions.

Who would have thought that Shi Hen just wanted to make his presence known to the two powerful factions?

Without this incident, it would have been quite a while before Shi Hen truly caught the eye of Einstein and others.

And it would be almost impossible to move them in the same way as today.

After all, he couldn't just block the two scientists in the corridor and then launch into a long explanation of the Welt's spirit, could he?

That would only make him look like a lunatic.

But from today onwards, the higher-ups at Anti-Entropy should remember that there is an outstanding young man within the organization who has inherited the Welt's spirit.

This is the secret to Shi Hen's promotion.

If the organization is in trouble, he will be the first to rush to the rescue.

But if the organization has no difficulties, then he will create difficulties for the organization.

In any case, he must be the most dazzling one in Anti-Entropy.

"... Your Excellency is wise."

Lin Xiao didn't really understand, but still thought Shi Hen was very impressive.

Her mission has always been to sow discord between the two factions, since it's always good to find an opening to attack.

But Shi Hen's approach seems to be different from hers.

The other party is a true Welt fan, and even knows her location.

She had absolutely no idea what this Lord White Dove was trying to do.

But considering the other party's meteoric rise in advancement, there must be some deeper meaning behind it that she couldn't comprehend.

"There's one more thing. Lord Gray Serpent... hopes that Lord White Dove will consider his own safety before taking any action."

"The Lin Xiao said, its head bowed."

This matter involves two officials, and she can only act as a mouthpiece.

"The Gray Serpent..."

Shi Hen shook his head in disappointment.

We've been working together for so long, how can Mr. Gray Serpent not believe in his abilities?

If he wasn't absolutely certain, would he allow himself to fall into a state of serious injury?

Moreover, this so-called serious injury was just an act for Seele and the others.

If needed, he can jump up and fight another Durandal in no time.

Bronya Shi Hen n't deliberately suppressed his recovery ability, he would have been lively and energetic long ago, without even needing Seele's treatment.

"Lord Gray Serpent is probably just worried about you."

"It's a cautious little thing," Lin Xiao said.

After all, Shi Hen had been unconscious for seven whole days, and even she was almost scared to death.

If an official were to die because of this kind of thing, she felt she should have vanished from the face of the earth.

"It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it."

Shi Hen waved his hand.

The Lin Xiao is just a messenger; it's pointless to argue with someone like that.

"By the way, from your professional perspective, when do you think would be the most appropriate time for me to be discharged from the hospital?"

Looking at the fruit basket that was mostly empty, Shi Hen asked with a serious expression.

He felt that if he didn't get discharged from the hospital sooner, he would eventually be killed by the Bronya.

"Huh? This kind of thing..." Looking up at the boy, Lin Xiao felt that this was really too difficult. "I think that you should stay a few more days, my lord."

If someone is unconscious for seven days and seven nights and then immediately becomes lively and energetic... Lord White Dove, you should really respect the intelligence of the Anti-Entropy executors.

"..."

Looking at the fruit basket, Shi Hen's expression grew increasingly grave.

Sure enough, this Anti-Entropy lifestyle is too comfortable...

Chapter 85 The Reason for the Battle

"Cheers to the captain's successful discharge from the hospital!"

Holding her glass high, Seele blushed with excitement as she spoke.

"Cheers."

Bronya spoke softly, her face still expressionless, but her eyes sparkled with joy.

Xing pouted, but didn't make a fuss at this moment. She simply raised her cup like Shi Hen.

This was a team celebration for the Team Seven, and Peggy was naturally not there.

Clang!

The four glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound, and the orange juice inside sloshed and rippled.

Bronya and the others were all thirteen years old, and even Shi Hen was only sixteen, so naturally, all they could drink was fruit juice.

"Ah, finally out."

After taking a big gulp of orange juice, Shi Hen let out a long sigh.

Life in the hospital ward was so unbearable; I was bothered by these little devils every day.

Moreover, the boy always suspected that Bronya wanted to kill him.

Not only was she expressionless, but she also barely said a few words while constantly staring at him while peeling an apple. Who wouldn't panic in that situation?

"The captain has really worked hard these past few days."

Seele smiled and agreed.

"Pshaw, he just stays in that room all day, what's so hard about that?"

Xing curled her lip in disdain.

"If Xing also wants to live this kind of life, I can help."

Bronya said calmly.

She had been injured a lot when she was a mercenary, and she knew what it felt like to be bedridden and unable to move.

Although the boy's injuries did not seem to be that serious.

Bronya!

Xing's eyes widened in surprise.

But the gray-haired girl chose to ignore it.

It's just the clamor of small fry.

"Alright, let's not argue about this." Shi Hen smiled and tried to calm things down. "I have to thank you all for this, otherwise I would have been really bored over there all by myself."

These words were actually quite against my conscience.

To be precise, he should be more comfortable living alone, and he could even have Lin Xiao bring him some forbidden snacks.

There was no other way; since Shi Hen had even gained the attention of several executors, the hospital dared not be careless about his diet in the slightest.

In summary, it was extremely healthy, so healthy that Shi Hen could hardly swallow it.

Therefore, the task of resolving Shi Hen is usually left to the Lin Xiao.

This is the privilege of the World Serpent cadres.

"Because you are our captain." Seele said softly, a smile appearing on her face. "When we are on missions, it is the captain who protects us."

"So when the captain is injured, it's naturally our turn to take care of you."

"Seele is right."

Bronya nodded gently.

"Hmph! I only reluctantly agreed because of Seele and the others."

Rubbing her nose, Xing said with a smug look on her face.

Although she didn't actually experience that battle, she was still grateful to Shi Hen for protecting Seele and the other girl.

The girl was never someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

Looking at the three people with different expressions in front of him, Shi Hen couldn't help but smile.

Compared to before the mission, these kids finally looked like a proper team, and all his hard work in putting on this big show wasn't in vain.

The director put on this show not only to make his presence felt in front of Einstein and others, but also as an important part of the development of Seele.

In fact, it is the most important part of it.

It's just a pity...

Thinking of the White Scythe that the girl summoned at the last moment, Shi Hen couldn't understand how that thing had come to be.

What he really wanted was Heavy-duty Bunny!
