Headquarters of Destiny.
"Here, Karen, have a bite of this..."
A woman with pink hair took out a rice ball from a lunchbox and handed it to another woman dressed as a nun, saying in a coquettish tone.
After seeing the woman named Karen finish all her rice balls, the donkey... cough cough, fox ears on her head happily perked up.
Meanwhile...
“Bishop Otto, come on, open your mouth…”
A woman, also dressed in a nun's habit but draped in a golden, crystal-shaped cloak, gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and placed the carefully prepared dish in her hand near the mouth of the man resting on her lap.
The man lying on her lap was none other than Bishop Otto of Destiny. He gently opened his mouth, swallowed the food she fed him, and after tasting it, praised it.
"Great job, my wife's cooking skills have improved again!"
"Hehe..." Amber chuckled shyly, "Since you like it, then eat more..."
Beside them, Kevin and Mei, Walter and Einstein were also quietly enjoying their leisure time.
"How wonderful..." Dr. Mei murmured, basking in the bright spring sunshine.
“Yes.” Kevin took her hand and smiled gently.
"After the Honkai ended, we finally had time to go on a date like this again..."
“Yes…” Mei rolled over and lay in Kevin’s arms.
"Stop messing around..." Mei said slowly, slapping Kevin's hand away from her head.
"Let me get some sleep, I'm so tired from doing experiments lately..."
"Okay, okay..." Kevin's face was full of doting affection.
"I'll stay here with you, I won't go anywhere..."
………………
"Walter, what are you thinking about right now?"
Einstein asked with a smile.
“Me?” Walter thought for a moment and then said.
"I was thinking, how wonderful it would be if time could stand still right now..."
“Fool…” Einstein smiled.
"How could time possibly be stopped..."
“I know,” Walter said slowly, pushing up his glasses.
"So, I'm enjoying every moment of this moment..."
“Idiot…” A blush crept across Einstein’s face as he turned his head away, avoiding Walter’s eyes…
………………
Soon, as dusk settled in the west, all the tycoons returned to Otto's reception room.
"You all came here today not just to show off your love, right...?"
Otto sat in the main seat and smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed.
“That’s right.” Kevin nodded first. “Grey Snake told me that Jiang Mu is dead.”
“I’ve also received the news,” Walter echoed, “but I don’t know if it’s true or not, so I’m here to verify it with you.”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Otto smiled and nodded slightly.
"That's right, Jiang Mu is dead."
"Bang!"
Kevin slammed his fist on the table, and instantly the temperature in the room plummeted. He looked at Otto and said calmly.
"A hero who fought against the Honkai has died, and you're just calm about it...?"
For a moment, Otto even felt that he was facing not a person, but a bloodthirsty beast...
"Calm down..." Otto quickly waved his hand, and Dr. Mei, who was standing next to him, also hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
“Kevin, Otto must have his reasons for doing this. You can listen to his explanation before you kill him.”
Upon hearing this, Otto felt another chill run down his spine. These two were truly ruthless...
"Cough cough..." Otto said quickly, for the sake of his own life.
"Actually, Jiang Mu can be said to be dead, or he can be said to be alive."
How do you know?
This time, it was Walter who spoke.
“I’ve lived for hundreds of years,” Otto laughed, “but I’ve never seen anyone die without leaving a trace of body or blood.”
“This…” Kevin frowned. “Could it be that your Schicksal people arrived too late and the scene has already been cleaned up?”
"Heh..." Otto chuckled mockingly.
"Although we, the Destiny, are indeed not as good as your World Serpents in terms of intelligence and surveillance, our efficiency is not that low."
"So what exactly do you mean?"
Kevin suppressed his anger and said.
“I recently used the Thousand Realms One Vehicle once,” Otto said. “However, due to its limited functionality, I only received some vague information.”
"Among them is Jiang Mu's life signal, and although the signal is somewhat unstable, it is certain that he is safe and sound."
"So, is there any way to bring Jiangmu back?" Walter pondered for a moment before asking.
“I think…” Otto smiled faintly, “it’s much better for Jiang Mu to stay there than for us to bring him back.”
As he spoke, Otto nodded to Amber, who understood and handed several documents to the assembled dignitaries.
"This is Jiang Mu's physical examination report. I had Ai-Yi Hyperion secretly do it for him while he was asleep."
Otto picked up the cup on the table, only to find that the tea inside had already frozen, so he slowly put it down and said.
"See for yourselves."
………………
The atmosphere in the reception room fell silent once again, and then Yae Sakura's voice rang out.
"Who...did this?!"
In an instant, Yae Sakura's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and a katana slowly appeared beside her, along with the phantom of a fiery red fox...
"Sakura, calm down..." Kallen hurriedly comforted Yae Sakura when she saw that she was about to lose her temper.
“These…” Einstein’s face was grave. “An ordinary person simply couldn’t withstand such damage, that brat Jiang Mu…”
"These must have been done by his good subordinates..." Walter murmured, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Heh..." Kevin's eyes gradually turned cold...
"Looks like I need to clean house..."
As he spoke, he stood up and looked towards the horizon...
"Wait a minute..." Dr. Mei quickly grabbed Kevin, "Is there some misunderstanding during this time?"
"Do you want me to show you the video?" Otto added, as if he didn't want to miss out on the drama.
………………
The room suddenly fell silent, the atmosphere deathly still...
"I have severed the ties between the Far East Branch and the Destiny Headquarters."
Otto broke the silence first, saying.
"From now on, they will have no choice but to rely on St. Freya Academy."
"You are quite merciful."
Kevin sneered and turned to Walter.
"Old Yang, what do you think?"
"..."
Walter didn't speak, but suddenly, he raised his head sharply, looked at the door, and shouted coldly.
"Hey you behind the door, come out!"
