Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

Snow rested his chin on his left hand, tapping the armrest of his seat with his right index finger, and suddenly thought of a certain white-haired, one-armed uncle.

"Understood. If you need any help, please contact me directly. I will try my best to attract people outside the city."

"I'm entrusting the city center to you all," Yang said solemnly, looking at the three people in front of him.

“Leave it to us,” Snow nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, do you have the latest chapter of Ohm's Adventure on you...?"

"Uh, yes, what's wrong?" Walter Young pulled a comic book with a strange yellow rabbit drawn on it from his backpack.

"Sign this, I'll bring it back as a souvenir for Headmistress Theresa, she likes it."

"Uh... Lady Theresa likes this?" Yang's expression turned somewhat strange.

"Mr. Yang... Regarding the funding of the Anti-Entropy conservatives over the past few years, I can only say that Dean Theresa has definitely taken the lion's share."

"This..." Yang looked choked up.

--

The passenger plane streaked across the city and landed at Singapore International Airport. Upon landing, the four people rushed off in different directions.

Yang was on the phone informing the organizers of the venue change, while the Divine Power Squad rushed straight to the city center.

Meanwhile, at the Queen Hotel, a landmark building in the city center, another group of people were also taking action.

Or perhaps only one person is taking action, while the other is responsible for eating and drinking.

"Ladies, this way please," a waitress in a cheongsam guided Fu Hua and Kiana, who had arrived earlier due to an urgent mission, towards the buffet restaurant.

"Wow, so much food!" Kiana was instantly overwhelmed by the sight of the table full of delicious dishes and pounced on it.

"So delicious! Oh, this is delicious too!" The fluffy little creature, wandering among the delicacies, kept stuffing food into its mouth, a cake in its left hand and a chicken leg in its right.

"I never expected to eat something so delicious during a mission—!" Kiana exclaimed, turning her head to notice Fu Hua, who was simply holding a glass of red wine.

"Hey, class monitor, aren't you eating?"

"By the way, I still don't know what the objective of this mission is."

"And another thing, why did the class monitor insist on choosing me as his partner? You said we needed to check into this hotel first, so we booked a room..."

Kiana, who had turned into a questioning child, seemed to have already figured out the answer in her mind before Fu Hua could even give her one, and showed a look of sudden realization.

"Could it be...! Class monitor, you're actually trying to lure me with food and then take advantage of me!?"

"No! My body and heart belong to Mei-senpai!"

Lost in some pink fantasy, Kiana shook her head vigorously and gave Fu Hua a sheepish look.

"..." Fu Hua was clearly speechless after being hit by the white-haired ball's logically complete combination punch. He pushed up his glasses and said helplessly.

"Kiana, you're overthinking it. This mission is just about gathering intelligence; I can handle it all by myself."

"The reason we chose Kiana as our partner is because this mission allows us to visit Singapore."

"Usually, this kind of holiday trip is only available to individual Valkyries of rank A or above, or to a team."

"As for you, Kiana, as an apprentice and later a B-rank Valkyrie, although you have a very leisurely life, you don't have any real official holidays."

"I want to repay Kiana. If it weren't for Kiana's timely intervention when Anti-Entropy invaded the academy, my life would have been in danger."

Fu Hua picked up a plate of small cakes and handed it to Kiana.

"Eh? Really? I didn't expect you to be so nice, class monitor~ Then I won't be polite~" The girl took the cake Fu Hua handed her and swallowed it in one bite.

Fu Hua glanced at Kiana, who was eating and drinking heartily, then glanced at the security personnel around her before turning and leaving.

...

"Have you found Dr. Magi's location, Jiuxiao?"

On the rooftop of the Queen Hotel, Snow watched his companion typing away on the computer and asked...

"Hiss... We can still check the surveillance cameras in the hallway and lobby, but there aren't any cameras in the rooms inside."

"And that little old man doesn't seem to have left the house at all... I can't be sure which room he's in now."

"Huh? That's Kiana Snow. I've found a secondary target." Jiuxiao seemed to have noticed a certain white-clad glutton on the lobby's surveillance cameras.

"Fu Hua isn't with her?"

"They're not there; they must have already gone up. Why don't we start interfering now?"

"There's no need. Today is Sunday, and most of the city's population is on holiday. Let's wait until Yang and his team have drawn away most of the crowd before making any decisions."

"The population is already shifting towards the suburbs, and if we act prematurely now, it will only provoke Cocolia into a desperate act, causing her to detonate the Tranquil Gem."

"Let Fu Hua and the others take action, giving Cocolia the illusion that the situation is still under control—"

"Ninti, go and follow Kiana..."

"Maki appeared in the hall and was approaching Kiana; they seemed to be talking."

"...Follow the white-haired old man beside Kiana, Ningdi, and collect as many potions-like items as possible from his person."

Snow saw Maki appear, left, and changed his orders.

"If you encounter a clone of Weltjoys, kill it without hesitation as long as it's out of Kiana and Maki's sight."

"That laughable creation is nothing more than an eyesore here, and it tarnishes the reputation of the original being."

"Make him repent—Nindi"

Chapter Forty-Two: The Ghost

boom--

A loud explosion came from the upper floors of the Queen Hotel.

The battle between Fu Hua and the Welt clone ended with the clone's tongue disappearing and the luxury suite on the upper floor exploding.

A figure leaped from the floor where the explosion occurred towards the ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the class monitor's reputation is doomed." Jiu Xiao watched as the Valkyrie leaped from the building, causing a gasp from the crowd on the ground.

"I'll leave this to Ningdi." I've thought of a suitable new member for the team.

"Who?" Jiuxiao looked at Snow curiously.

"The intelligence officer in this mission, squad leader, is Wraith, a Class A Valkyrie from the Central Intelligence Agency."

"That one... her disguise skills are truly remarkable, and the team is definitely missing a formal intelligence officer."

Jiuxiao nodded, acknowledging the abilities of the future new member.

"Wait, have you thought about how to persuade her?"

".....?" Snow's formal Valkyrie armor was teleported onto her body.

"Never mind if I didn't ask, just ask your dad directly, okay?" Jiu Xiao rolled his eyes.

He will give it to me...

"Jiuxiao, go and talk to the people in power in this city..."

"According to the neutrality treaty... Anti-Entropy's mechs and Schicksal's Valkyries are not allowed to enter this area."

"...We still got in, didn't we? That treaty is a joke."

"We didn't come in as Valkyries..."

"We're just a group of defenseless tourists from a far-eastern island nation."

Snow spoke with a smile, then his expression suddenly changed.

"And Cocolia... she actually drove a Titan into the streets..."

Azure eyes peered downstairs, where an anti-entropy Titan mech had appeared at the entrance of the Queen Hotel.

"They're not even going to act anymore...?" Jiuxiao complained, following Snow's gaze.

“The government of this country made the wrong choice,” Snow shook his head.

"When destiny and anti-entropy... especially the radical faction of anti-entropy, two forces transcending ordinary nations, are locked in a fierce struggle."

"They were just insignificant victims."

"Find him, and ideally get all the details of Cocolia's deal from him..."

"This also benefits our friends—Walter Young can use this evidence to cause trouble for Cocolia."

"Although there's still no good way to deal with Cocolia, the leader of the radical faction, at least we can keep her in check for a while."

"So why has she been jumping so much lately?" Snow muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Alright, I'll go talk to them. I'll see my captain in a bit."

Jiu Xiao rolled his eyes, then, imitating Fu Hua, leaped down from the other side of the building, landing on the roof of another building, and ran towards the distant administrative area.

The blonde Valkyrie shook her head, activated her armor's flight function, and flew towards the small bar where her target was located.

--

Late at night, in a somewhat dilapidated alley, a blonde Valkyrie stood at the alley's entrance.

"This is it..." After looking around the alley, a sign hung on a somewhat rusty iron gate.

【Valhalla】The girl murmured the name on the sign, glancing strangely at the glowing billboard next to it.

It depicts a Houmu and a red prohibition sign...

"No Houmu allowed? That's weird..." He shook his head and pushed open the bar door.

Unlike the dilapidated exterior, the bar was exquisitely decorated, with solid wood tables, chairs, and counters, and velvet sofas carefully placed in appropriate locations.

A variety of high-end, expensive wines and spirits are displayed on the counter.

The bar seemed to be closed at this time; apart from Snow, there were no other customers, only a blond-haired waiter humming a tune as he wiped wine bottles.

The young man seemed to be in a good mood; his blue eyes were full of joy and ease.

Snow, dressed in formal attire, walked to the bar and sat down on a stool.

"Hello, sir, please bring me a glass of 1988 Château Latour..." The young woman smiled and sized up the waiter in front of her.
