"Mmm."
"I don't think it's that simple."
Kevin interrupted Joyce's thoughts.
"Although it may be a bit unpleasant to say this, it's not easy to deal with my elder sister at all."
"Is that Dra. MEI?"
Welt Yang also showed a pensive expression.
"By the way, Tesla's email seems to have mentioned that the other doctor looks a lot like the girl from the Ryoma family."
"That filial daughter..."
Joyce subconsciously commented:
"Cough, it's true, brother Tian has a lot of people around him now, trying to bring him down... hey, this is a hellish difficulty, isn't it?"
"We also have a lot of people around us."
Welt Yang looked at the doctoral team eating beside them.
From the Sea of Quanta, they brought out Einstein, Schrödinger, Nancy, and Cocolia, who was posing as a scientist but was actually her bodyguard.
In addition, the doctoral team was only part of the group; among those not present were Cocolia's four daughters and Anti-Entropy's beloved elder sister, Reanna.
By the way, right now at the cafeteria entrance, Ragna is pretending to be a cafeteria lady serving food.
"Can Cocolia be included too?"
Joyce looked with considerable surprise at Welt Yang, who was fiddling with his fingers.
Welt Yang looked at Cocolia.
"Well... since she isn't married anyway, it's not bad to do the math."
"Hey, if this really continues, the paths of those girls will be blocked, right?"
"They are not blood-related, at most, Tian's methods end up being a bit more exciting in the end... Besides, I think after marrying off so many daughters, Cocolia herself might have her own ideas."
"That actually makes sense."
Joyce thought for a moment and then nodded.
Anyway, in Anti-Entropy, the generation gap problem is just that.
Although people care, no one says it's unacceptable.
Besides, they are not related by blood.
"But my godson's thinking is really dangerous... Can this guy really be a good children's illustrator?"
"You guys are truly a mess."
Seeing Welt Yang counting the number of people with his fingers, Kevin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"That's ten already, right?"
"It should be said that there are only ten."
Welt Yang patted Kevin on the back and gave him a look that said:
"You've never seen anything like this before."
"Among those not present are Raiden Mei, who looks a lot like your elder sister; Dra. Tesla, whom I mentioned before; Professor Planck, also a veteran; Murata Himeko, the retired Valkyrie recovering; and Wendy, the Herrscher who is in prison for treatment."
"It gives me the chills."
Kevin couldn't help but scratch his head.
"My dangerous instincts and life experience tell me that, if I want to save my life, I shouldn't get involved in women's affairs."
"Brother Kevin, you are surprisingly perceptive."
Joyce looked at him in surprise.
"Hey, you're not planning to push me to test the waters, are you?"
"How could that be? I'm a good person."
Joyce pointed to his face, which looked no different from when he was twenty.
"Well, we're done talking, Kevin, who do you support? It doesn't matter if you don't know her, you have to mention someone. Or is it really your elder sister?"
"Elder sister, my ass."
Kevin muttered a curse under his breath.
"That woman is a demon! Although Dra. Mobius soaked my brain in formalin, I couldn't stand her!"
"..."
The father and son exchanged a look.
"Is the relationship between you disciples really that bad?"
"It's not a matter of how bad it is, but rather that kind of... that kind of... never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it."
Kevin gestured with his hands and then slumped.
"If you two have the chance, you can try it for yourselves."
"Do I sense that you have ulterior motives?"
The Herrscher's dangerous intuition was triggered.
"It's good to know."
Kevin let out a cold laugh.
"You guys alone could bring more than a dozen, if you add other places... tsk, I don't even want to think about it."
"So, who do you really support? Let's not beat around the bush."
Joyce sighed.
"Well..."
Kevin stroked his chin.
"To be honest, I don't really have anything in particular I want to support..."
"By the way, Kevin, is your last name Kaslana?"
Suddenly Joyce remembered something.
"Ah… I am the ancestor of the Kaslana family."
Kevin nodded.
Although he doesn't feel close to the Kaslana family now, that is the truth.
"Hmm... I see..."
Joyce nodded and said nothing more.
Kevin, standing next to him, got a little angry:
"Hey! Why do you have that 'you're dead' face?"
"It's nothing, Kevin, do you want another bowl of noodles?"
"Explain yourself first!"
...
"Those guys over there are very noisy."
Einstein popped a dessert into her mouth while watching the three people making a fuss over there.
However, Einstein always felt that those three guys hadn't said anything pleasant in their previous whispers.
"They didn't say anything pleasant."
Schrödinger took the cake and looked at her expressionlessly.
She was the most perceptive person in the group, so she knew exactly what the three bastards next to her were talking about.
"No one supports her, right?"
"Nancy, the suggestion is to freeze the bank cards of those two people, give each of them a bowl, and throw them out on the street."
"That is truly an outrageous suggestion."
Nancy smiled while looking at the three people beside her.
"It would be better to make them incur huge debts through accounting, and then force them to work to pay them off."
"The repulsive face of capitalists..."
Schrödinger glanced sideways at Nancy.
"However, digging up the ancestor of the Kaslana family in the Sea of Quanta... this is a real headache."
"What's so troublesome? Give him to Tian Shi!... And, to be honest, I think the ancestor of the Kaslana family needs a wife."
Nancy made a somewhat dangerous statement with a smile.
Cocolia and Ragna, who was posing as the cafeteria lady, immediately lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.
However, Einstein and Schrödinger, who were nearby, seemed unconcerned.
Anyone can talk big, but how long has Nancy been saying the same thing?
"Nancy, weren't you the one who escaped the most times?"
"Is there still no progress?"
"Dra. Einstein suspects that Dra. MEI might have already run further than Nancy," Einstein said expressionlessly, uttering a very hurtful statement.
"As if you could be better than me."
Nancy's forehead twitched.
"And speaking of which, let's take Siegfried with us on this trip."
"What are you doing?"
"I don't like him either, doesn't he have two daughters?"
Nancy was furious.
Were her own subordinates starting to marry off their daughters to Tian Shi?
How could she tolerate it?
Hearing this, Cocolia shrank back.
If we're being honest, she is the one who gave the most gifts to her daughter.
Although the official count is four, if you add the children from that orphanage at that time, plus Seele... it would probably be seven or eight.
It's another thing whether they have ambitions or not, but the quantity is certainly enough.
Thinking about this made Cocolia's teeth ache.
"If Lady Nancy finds out about this, I'm afraid I'll be dead!"
And going further... you, Cocolia, have handed over so many daughters without a blood relationship.
Who would believe you if you said you didn't have ulterior motives?
Although Cocolia said she really didn't have any ideas, what if one of her daughters offered her a "buy one, get one free" deal?
Cocolia put herself in that situation and realized it was something that could actually be achieved with a bit of reluctance.
That's the disadvantage of not being related by blood...
And to be honest, this could be considered filial piety... after all, she is a well-known single older woman.
No, if things really develop like that, it will be too chaotic.
Just thinking about that scenario gives Cocolia a headache.
"If Lady Nancy finds out about this, I will definitely be shot eight times in the back and commit suicide!"
While Cocolia was in a panic, Ragna was also in a panic.
She is even more numb than Cocolia.
Although she wasn't going to marry off her daughter, but...
Hmm... there's no way to explain the situation of the Alliance Leader's support group.
That's a whole Valkyrie squad!
Ragna, who was posing as a cafeteria worker, was already thinking about finding a block of tofu to commit suicide.
Although it's still a form of idol worship, these people wouldn't mind their idols participating in fan-related activities.
Hmm... a group of single women in their thirties who can't find men, that's all.
If Ragna hadn't stopped her recently, Himeko would have been slaughtered by her superiors long ago.
So what if she's a junior?
So what if she's recovering from her injuries?
"Jealousy is making me crazy, take my iron fist!"
Her own group of bastard teammates really dare to take any opportunity... Well, she has no right to criticize others.
She's in her thirties...
So Himeko is able to stay in bed and idle in exchange for a salary, all thanks to her captain's extraordinary sense of morality...
"(But then again, it seems I have a chance...)"
Ragna seemed lost in thought.
Compared to Himeko, who is now "abandoned by everyone" in the assault team, she is still the reliable captain, okay?
The support is still overwhelming.
"(But Lady Nancy would probably kill me if I did that, even though I'm under Lady Reanna's command)."
But Cocolia is also under Reanna's command...
Once the Alliance Leader gets involved in the Anti-Entropy movement, everything truly falls into chaos...
Ragna sighed and then inexplicably thought of Rita and Bianka, those two little... no, I shouldn't call them girls now.
One is an outstanding lady and the other has a very good relationship with the alliance leader.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of crisis.
These past few days, Ragna has been having recurring dreams of Rita and Bianka, both dressed in wedding dresses, competing to invite her to be their bridesmaid…
Yes, the anxiety of being a "leftover woman."
"Ah, and since you're at it, bring Ryoma too, let him stop digging potatoes, let him come back quickly and give that brat Mei a hard time."
Nancy didn't notice the two people pretending to be invisible beside her, and after thinking for a moment, she added.
It's time to let those young people see the wisdom of their predecessors.
"Einstein thought this was simply the wisdom of a jealous woman."
"The short, blue-haired, chicken-headed guy is not allowed to speak."
Einstein shrugged.
She wasn't particularly attached to anything; she was just looking forward to it.
Hmm... just as Tian Shi put it about her: "a good woman in a slightly strange sense."
…
Schicksal, 10:00 AM.
"Quite a few things are really piling up."
Otto stretched.
However, isn't Schicksal's defense a bit weak right now?
Although there are other Immortal Blade squads, they are completely useless against strong enemies.
"I think so too, although, according to common thinking, a monster like Miss Hua, capable of defeating Schicksal on her own, is a phenomenon that only occurs once a century, in this era, two or three might emerge every year."
Kallen stretched; her beautiful and voluptuous curves instantly ruining Otto's good mood for the day.
"Since you think so too..."
Otto took a look at the report Rita had recently sent.
Speaking of which, it seems we don't need to continue the pursuit in Sky City.
As for the matter of K423... well, let's find time to resolve it.
"Her mother hasn't woken up yet."
Kallen rolled her eyes.
Although she saved Cecilia, Cecilia's wounds healed, but she remained unconscious, essentially a vegetable.
"And what if someone is in a vegetative state? We can talk as long as she's not dead."
Otto couldn't help but put his hand to his face thinking about this.
"Hurry up and throw those Soul Steel bodies into the furnace; it's a headache to look at them."
This mess... Otto is too tired to even complain.
However, being so obsessive that he makes enemies all over the world... well, Otto can only say he is truly himself.
"Amber."
"Yes."
The masked girl gave a slight bow.
"Send a message to Rita and Durandal, instructing them to abandon the mission and return to Schicksal headquarters immediately."
"Yes."
…
"..."
Rita and Ciora looked at each other in silence while receiving the new order from Schicksal.
"Has your Overseer lost his mind?"
Ciora spoke without hesitation.
"Your performance was not convincing enough and you have aroused suspicion, didn't you say these days that you were about to catch her?"
"The reports I sent to His Excellency the Overseer were based on the reports from your World Serpent, unless I try to profit from both parties, the Overseer will never discover the problem."
"You must believe in the loyalty of all World Serpent members towards Lord Tian Shi."
"Hehe."
Rita gave a polite but sarcastic smile.
"However, I still trust the reputation of Mr. Grey Serpent."
After all, it was because of Tian Shi that Grey Serpent directly invited her to become the World Serpent Lord...
Furthermore, Rita has to admit that although World Serpent's style has changed a bit these past days, its purity can still be guaranteed.
Both Ciora and Cleo can be considered die-hard fans, not to mention Grey Serpent.
I haven't met the others, so I won't comment on them.
"Sigh... this order came from..."
Rita slapped her face.
"Should we go back and assassinate His Holiness the Overseer?"
"Do I need to remind you how many spare bodies your Overseer has?", Ciora mocked.
"Assassination?! What a crazy idea!"
Hmm... wait a minute...
Ciora's eyes suddenly became strange.
To be honest, if the Seven Thunders of Retribution used special bullets, Otto would truly die if he reacted slowly.
She had already done this before; if Otto hadn't reacted quickly and uploaded his consciousness, he really would have died.
"It's a joke."
Rita gave a polite smile.
"Well, let's pretend we didn't see it, let's delay it as much as we can."
"What if we can't wait any longer?"
"Laugh."
"What are you laughing at, you big fool?!"
