Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

Her face was gloomy, her eyes were filled with displeasure and anger, and she stared at Kainuo coldly.

"Anyway, joking about dead little Kaino is too much, Grandpa!"

Kainuo looked stunned.

Why did I suddenly become an elder?

I'm only 16, how come I suddenly sound like a 50-year-old grandfather?!

"No, what grandpa?"

"Are you still trying to quibble? Haha..."

Theresa stood up expressionlessly, looked at Keno, and pointed at his chest.

"Grandpa, every time you come here in disguise, your hair color never changes, right? But this time, you're being a little too blatant, aren't you?"

"You didn't even take off the cross you usually wear, and you still want to deceive me. Do you really think your granddaughter is a fool?"

Hearing this, Kainuo lowered his head slightly and looked at the cross on his chest that Theresa from another world had given him, and he roughly figured out what was going on.

So this time, It was Theresa from the other world who was causing trouble for herself and her period?

"So, Grandpa, what exactly are you doing here?"

After a brief temper tantrum, Theresa's expression improved a little, as she sat back in her chair and looked at Kainuo with a slightly scrutinizing look.

"Is it because of that Kiana clone? She told me everything. Your meeting is too coincidental. It's obvious that you have ulterior motives, Grandpa."

"Let's make it clear in advance that I can't possibly hand her over to you. And since Siegfried treats her as his daughter, I will treat her well."

"And what about those people you brought here? None of them have any identification. Where did you get them from, Grandpa?"

Looking at the aunt in front of him who had almost revealed everything he knew without saying anything, Kainuo suddenly felt worried.

What should I do with this silly aunt of mine in the future?

"So I'm really not that Otto. Auntie, please take a good look at me."

Theresa was about to get angry again after hearing this, but the words got stuck in her throat before she could say them.

As Kayno finished his words, his originally golden hair seemed to fade and turn pure white, and his eyes changed from emerald green to pure blue like the sky, making him look exactly like Kaslana.

Looking at the smiling boy in front of her, Theresa's eyes widened and her mouth trembled slightly.

"Y-you, I... am not right!"

Although the scene before her was beyond her expectations, and in her opinion, her grandfather would not play a prank to such an extent, the feeling of disappointment after experiencing hope for several years made her dare not make a hasty judgment.

She looked Keno up and down carefully, trying to find evidence that this was definitely not her nephew.

Biting her lip, Theresa hesitated and said:

"If it's Grandpa... he can also make his hair suddenly change color or something like that!"

Kaino's smile froze.

Looking at Theresa, whose eyes flashed with hope and who was expecting him to produce more evidence, Kaino scratched his head and said tentatively:

"When Kiana and I were little, we always got your hair tangled up in your aunt's sleep, and you always had to spend a lot of time combing it while crying?"

Although the previous embarrassing incident was mentioned, the light in Theresa's eyes became even brighter.

"No, Grandpa also knows about these things. There were several times when I asked him to help me comb my hair!"

Kainuo's face was conflicted.

"That time, Kiana and I tied you up and tickled your feet together, and then you chased us all over the place?"

She swallowed, a barely perceptible hint of excitement in her voice.

"No, this matter has finally become known to half of Tianming. Grandpa must also know about it. There is still a possibility that you are pretending to be Grandpa!"

"That……"

Kainuo fell into deep thought, and then his eyes lit up slightly.

Instead of giving examples, it would be better to have some actual interactions to prove one's identity... although he felt that his aunt almost believed him.

So Kainuo smiled kindly and half squatted down.

"Aunt, can you lift your feet?"

Theresa was stunned and subconsciously raised her right foot.

Kainuo seized the opportunity, took off Theresa's shoes from under the table in a flash, turned around and ran.

Theresa also jumped off the chair reflexively and hopped on one leg to chase after Kaino.

"Little Kainuo, wait, that..."

Theresa stopped mid-shouting.

Her eyes were blurred with tears, and she jumped forward a few times, standing in front of Keno who was waiting for her.

Theresa's hands rubbed Keno's body, as if to confirm his real existence. As she did so, tears welled up in her eyes.

Finally, Theresa couldn't hold it in any longer. She hugged Kainuo's waist tightly and cried uncontrollably.

"Wooooooooooo…Kaino-chan!"

Kaino also looked melancholy as he gently stroked the hair on Theresa's head.

When she was young, Theresa often came to see him and Kiana because she was busy with branch construction issues. However, it was impossible for her to come every day. It was good enough if she could come once a week, and she was mentally exhausted every time she came.

Therefore, Kayno and Kiana would use various ways to tease Theresa to let her vent her emotions, such as ruffling her hair, tickling her feet, etc. - of course, the tickling of her feet was a bit of a big deal.

Unlike the way Kaino and Kiana played together... and played with Theresa, Kaino would often steal Theresa's shoes, causing Theresa to chase Kaino around the house.

Because she can only jump on one foot, and has to consider the furniture and the running little Kayno, Theresa's speed will be the same as Kayno's, and she will keep catching up until Theresa is out of breath or Kayno has no strength left.

Finally, the two of them would collapse on the ground, laughing face to face.

Theresa hadn't played like this in a long time.

Huh? Where did Kiana go at this time?

…She would take this opportunity to secretly eat the snacks Theresa bought for Kaino.

Chapter 97 Theresa regrets

"Woo woo woo, I'm so stupid. I'm just Qi (San)..., really."

Sitting on the sofa in the room, Theresa held her head in her hands and rubbed it continuously, as if she was making some kind of confession.

"I only knew that Kiana was a replica of my eldest niece, and Siegfried treated her as his daughter, but I didn't know that you were the real little Kaino."

"I foolishly called Kiana over first to acknowledge her as my kin, and asked her to call me Auntie. Then I called you in, little Kainuo, and interrogated you profusely, which made..."

"Auntie, if you keep holding your head, you won't grow taller."

While peeling an orange in the guest room, Kaino interrupted Theresa and shrugged:

"Although I feel like I've aged a few years for no apparent reason, I don't actually mind you calling me grandpa, Aunt."

On the contrary, it feels quite exciting?

"Woooa ...

Theresa stopped holding her head and instead pounded her head with her fists, her face full of regret.

"Okay, Auntie, don't regret it... Come, eat an orange."

Handing half of the orange to Theresa, Kainuo half closed his eyes.

"And Auntie, did you just reveal some terrible news? Like a clone of Kiana or something like that?"

"Come on, little Kainuo, it's not like you don't know about this. And I won't mention it when chatting with others, don't worry."

When mentioning Kiana, who was originally k423, Theresa pouted and looked depressed.

"That Kiana obviously doesn't know about you and the real Kiana. Siegfried probably didn't tell her the truth. Seriously, now I'm in trouble."

"If only I hadn't recognized her before, I could openly call you my nephew and restore your identity directly."

If you can only choose one, between your lovely nephew and a copy of your niece, it's a no-brainer.

But because of her momentary mistake, she mistook her nephew for her grandfather, forcing her nephew to hide his identity again. This was the reason why Theresa was so upset before.

I can't find Kiana now and tell her that I just lied to her and that I don't know Siegfried. Oh, let me introduce you, this is Siegfried's biological son, my eldest nephew, right?

If I really do this, I'm afraid it will collapse on the spot and explode.

"It's okay. I wanted to hide my identity anyway. I also want to go to the Tianming headquarters through formal channels to look for my sister later."

Patting Theresa's head again to comfort her, Kaino signaled her not to worry.

"But she seems to have a new name now. I'll have to trouble you to find it for me later."

"...Sister, Kaino, are you talking about Kiana?"

Hearing this name, Theresa's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Kaino, Kiana is dead... I attended her funeral in person."

"Later, because I was worried that my grandfather was lying to me, I contacted other people who participated in the funeral. It turned out that there was indeed a funeral at that time."

Kaino raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Su should have no reason to lie to him, and the Alicia he knew did not lie to him about the collapse of Changkong City, so their credibility is still very high.

On the contrary, the credibility of my great aunt’s grandfather Otto…ha.

"My sources are pretty reliable. Besides, if Otto really wanted to cheat you, you wouldn't be able to find out, right?"

Kainuo spread his hands.

"Anyway, I will do my best to advance to A-level, and then try to go to Tianming to investigate my sister's affairs."

"Okay, I'll help you then! By the way, nephew, what is the current name of the Kiana you mentioned?"

"Bianca Atagina. The person who gave me the news said that this is Kiana's current name."

"Bianca? The name sounds familiar. I think I've heard it somewhere before?"

After tapping her head with a hint of doubt, Theresa simply shook her head.

"I'll search the archives when I get back. Since I have an impression of this person, there must be such a person."

"Speaking of which, little Kainuo, where have you been these past few years? Even your aunt couldn't find you. Also, little Kainuo, how come you're so strong? Where did all those friends of yours come from?"

"This will take a long time to explain, and we've been in this room long enough, so we'll talk about it later. As for strength..."

Keno didn't know how to explain, so he simply pulled down his collar to show Theresa his chest.

"Is this the stigmata? Little Kaino, have you awakened the stigmata?"

Without any hesitation, she went forward to check it out, and then Theresa leaned back with a hint of disgust.

"This stigma looks so weird, doesn't it? Not only that, it's also a little scary..."

Theresa, who was a little afraid of snakes, obviously didn't like this stigma.

"It's not something I can control, there's nothing I can do."

Shrugging helplessly, Keno pointed to the door.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Let's go. Oh, and tell Jizi that the rest of the people don't need to come in... Oh, nephew, you haven't told me where your friends are from!"

Hearing this, Kainuo scratched his head in annoyance.

"Explaining this involves what happened after I disappeared, which is quite troublesome. But I assure you, Auntie, there is absolutely no problem with them."

"Well, since you've promised, nephew..."

Theresa sighed, lamenting that her child had grown up and had his own ideas.

Suddenly she thought of the reporting call she had received before, and she narrowed her eyes and looked at Kainuo who was walking out.

A serpent-shaped stigma, knowing his personal phone number, knowing his exact height, reporting the artificial collapse of Changkong City... and calling himself a dwarf!

All the clues were connected together in an instant. Theresa put on a dangerous smile and called out to her nephew again.

"Speaking of which, little Kaino. Do you know anything about the World Serpents organization?"

Theresa's tone was softer than ever before, but it gave Keno goosebumps.
