What?! You want me to be the Herrscher of the End?!

Hmph, this mere Bai Mo actually dares to try and empty my wallet! Just wait till I get back and get Mei and Bronya to give him a piece of my mind!

Kiana couldn't help but feel a surge of smugness as she recalled how badly Bai Mo had been bullied by her, Mei, and Bronya on the sofa a few days ago.

And so, at this moment, both of them harbored their own little thoughts, looking forward to playing pranks on each other after returning to St. Freya.

Bai Mo: Prepare for judgment, Kiana! A hell of despair awaits you ahead!

Kiana: Accept your punishment, Bai Mo! What awaits you is an abyss of suffering!

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Banquet

...Nighttime, Queen Hotel.

"Wow, this is a banquet! There's so much delicious food!"

"Ahem, Kiana, calm down and don't be so loud. We have a mission to do this time, so we mustn't attract attention!"

Seeing Kiana drooling beside him, Bai Mo nudged her with his elbow.

After all, there is a mission to be carried out tonight, and according to intelligence, Dr. Magee, who stole the Tranquility Gem, is very likely to be at this banquet tonight, so anything that attracts attention is forbidden.

.................

"Bai Mo, look over there! There's a huge king crab over there!!"

However, Kiana clearly didn't have that intention; she simply wanted to try the food here.

Kiana immediately ran towards her target after spotting it, and of course, that didn't stop her from pulling Bai Mo along as well.

"Hey! Kiana, slow down!"

Helpless, Bai Mo had no choice but to follow, since who knows what might happen if Kiana were left alone.

Attending a banquet for the first time, Kiana was like a curious child, looking around here and there. However, despite this, Kiana's movements always revolved around the dining table.

Bai Mo was also by Kiana's side the whole time, and this was also the first time Bai Mo had attended such a banquet.

After all, banquets are something that only the upper class can afford to host, and ordinary people like myself naturally don't have access to them in normal times.

Looking at the expensive-looking food and finely packaged red wine on the table, Bai Mo tried some. It was indeed delicious, with an impeccable taste.

"Kiana, eat less. Look, the security guards over there are giving you strange looks."

Bai Mo reached out and tugged at Kiana's sleeve, then leaned over and whispered a reminder.

"Oh dear, the world is vast, but filling our stomachs is the most important thing. How can we complete the mission if we can't even fill our stomachs!"

Kiana wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and handed Bai Mo a crab leg. She smiled at Bai Mo as if it didn't matter, since the security personnel here wouldn't kick her out for eating too much.

Besides, I've been starving all day, all for the sake of having a good meal at this banquet tonight, so I have to fill my stomach first no matter what.

After saying that, Kiana picked up the juice next to her and drank it. Seeing this, Bai Mo covered his face and sighed.

Because everyone else at the banquet was holding wine glasses and chatting, since banquets are for making friends, most people were mainly focused on exchanging ideas.

Therefore, compared to these people, Kiana seemed somewhat out of place at the banquet, since she had been eating the whole time and had no intention of making friends with anyone.

Therefore, the security personnel here naturally focused their attention on Kiana, who was considered an "outlier".

However, out of professional ethics and the principle that others are free to do whatever they want, these security personnel did not say anything.

Of course, during this time, many men approached Kiana, mostly wanting to exchange contact information and get to know each other, but Kiana, engrossed in enjoying delicious food, had no interest in these advances and wouldn't even acknowledge them.

So over time, these men gradually lost interest in Kiana and turned their attention to Bai Mo instead.

Left with no other choice, in order to deal with these people and also to appear normal and sociable, Bai Mo had to make up a few contact details and give them to the men who came to chat her up.

However, there were clearly a lot of people trying to strike up a conversation; they had even formed a queue...

Man: "Excuse me, beautiful lady, I've noticed you've been sitting here alone for a while now. You must be feeling quite bored. If it's alright, would you please join me for a dance?"

Bai Mo: "Ah, I'm really sorry, I recently sprained my ankle, so I'd better not do dancing or anything like that..."

........

Man: "Excuse me for bothering you, but may I have a drink with you? I've prepared something in the back..."

Bai Mo: "I'm sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol. You should invite someone else."

.........

Man: "May I ask for your name, miss? If so..."

Bai Mo: "My name is Wu Yuzi."

Man: "Miss, are you from Japan? That's right! You may ask, I've always loved Japan since I was a child. I'm sure we'll have a lot in common. If you don't mind, would you like to come to my humble abode and have a drink with me?"

Bai Mo: "Miss, you're the one who's a 'Miss'! Your whole family are 'Miss's'!"

........

Man: "To be honest, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you, Miss! May I ask...?"

Bai Mo: "Next."

...................................

After a long time, after Bai Mo finally finished dealing with all the men, Kiana, who was standing to the side, finally filled her stomach.

"Hey Bai Mo, do you want some more...?"

Seeing that Bai Mo had helped her deal with so many men who came to chat her up, Kiana scratched her head rather embarrassedly and asked with a smile.

"Eat! I'll teach you what eating is all about!!"

Turning to look at Kiana, Bai Mo smiled kindly, while her clenched fists cracked loudly.

"I'll give you a good beating with my fists the size of sandbags today!"

"Hahaha... Bai Mo, stop this! Have mercy!! You promised not to attract attention! You can't do this!"

"Attract attention? You actually know that! But... never mind anything else, take this punch first!"

"Ah! Murder! Help!!"

...After a long while.

"I'll definitely arrange a blind date for you once we get back to St. Freya Academy!"

Rubbing his already reddened fist, Bai Mo glared fiercely at Kiana, who was crouching with her head covered.

"Waaaaah, Bai Mo, please don't! I know I was wrong! Please, have mercy on me and spare my life!"

"It's too late to realize your mistake now. What were you doing before?"

Chapter Sixty-Five: Action

"Bai Mo, Kiana, what's going on with you two?"

Having dealt with some personal matters related to her mission, Fu Hua hurried to the banquet, afraid of missing the opportunity, but unexpectedly discovered two people fooling around inside.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Kiana was just being a little naughty, I was just helping her to control herself."

"You're right, aren't you, Kiana?"

Bai Mo released his hand from Kiana's waist and, upon seeing Fu Hua approaching, tried to cover it up.

After all, it would be quite embarrassing to actually say it out loud if someone hit on you like that.

"Yes, yes, I was just being naughty."

Straightening up and rubbing her aching lower back, Kiana nodded in agreement like a chick pecking at rice, knowing that if she were any more mischievous, her back might be in serious trouble.

"Emmm, it's good that you're alright. By the way, did you spot the target at the banquet?"

Stopping on these trivial matters, Fu Hua glanced around the banquet and got straight to the point. Clearly, the so-called target was Dr. Magi.

"No, Kiana and I have been wandering around the banquet hall for quite a while, and we have carefully observed most of the people in the banquet hall, but we have not found the target."

Recalling the long line of people who had just come to "find a partner," Bai Mo quickly said after confirming that there was no one he was looking for among them.

After all, two-thirds of the people at the banquet had come to participate in the "blind date," and Bai Mo had also paid attention to the remaining people, but Dr. Maki was not among them.

Bai Mo knew exactly what Dr. Magee looked like, so if Dr. Magee was actually at the banquet, Bai Mo would definitely recognize her immediately.

"The hotel is so big, maybe that Dr. Magee is hiding."

Kiana, who had somehow acquired an egg tart, ate it as she spoke.

"It's very likely. According to information from headquarters, the target has already made contact with Anti-Entropy."

"If he didn't show up at the banquet, then he must have been protected by the people from Anti-Entropy."

Pulling Bai Mo and Kiana to a secluded spot, Fu Hua pushed up her glasses and whispered.

This intelligence was sent from headquarters ten minutes ago, so Fu Hua did not doubt its authenticity.

Considering the potential conflicts in the upcoming missions, Fu Hua shared the information, even though this information was originally intended to be shared.

"Reverse Entropy? Even people from Reverse Entropy have gotten involved?"

Sure enough, Anti-Entropy would never sit idly by in such a situation. If there's no mistake, the person sent this time should be a clone of Walter Yang.

Upon hearing Fu Hua's information, Bai Mo first pretended to be surprised and unaware, while silently recalling the plot of the comic in his mind.

"Reverse entropy!?"

Kiana was clearly taken aback upon hearing the name Anti-Entropy.

"Yes, so our primary task now is to pinpoint the location of our target."

After glancing around and making sure no one was paying attention to them, Fu Hua continued.

"If that's the case... Kiana and I both came up the stairs. The elevator was always guarded, as if we couldn't use it."
