"Ah?" Class monitor Fu Hua, who was wondering what Mei put in her snack, looked up in confusion. How did this affect her? And what Kiana said... well, considering the actual situation, I always felt that something was wrong...

"Haha, what you said is not right. How can Fu Hua be called conservative? Young people should be called steady." Ji Zi said with a smile.

"Oh, that class monitor's dressing style is indeed very stable." Kiana said as she looked Fu Hua up and down.

Fu Hua's eye twitched, but she still said nothing.

"Squad leader, do you want to eat the remaining snacks?" Kiana looked at the snacks on Fu Hua's plate. "If you can't finish them, I can help you. You're welcome!"

Fu Hua sighed helplessly, pushed her plate in front of Kiana and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, squad leader. I knew you were a kind-hearted person~" Kiana happily picked up the snacks on the plate and stuffed them into his mouth.

Fu Hua looked at Kiana and smiled helplessly in her heart. Suddenly, a message popped up on her glasses: "A-level Valkyrie Fu Hua, you have a new mission."

"Mission?" Fu Hua read the message with a little confusion and fell into a brief contemplation.

"What's wrong, Fu Hua? What's the mission?" Theresa noticed Fu Hua's situation and asked with concern.

Fu Hua pushed up her glasses, stood up from her chair, and said calmly, "Nothing, just a simple infiltration investigation mission, but we need to set off immediately."

"Eh? For a simple investigation mission, do you still need to come out, squad leader?" Kiana stopped stuffing snacks into her mouth, "How about you take some snacks with you before you leave?"

Fu Hua glanced at Qiana and said meaningfully, "I don't need it, but if you need it, Qiana, you can bring some snacks for the journey."

"Eh?" Kiana tilted her head. "Isn't this your task, squad leader? What does it have to do with me?"

"Because it's a simple investigation mission, I can bring a trainee with me. Between Mei, Bronya and you, you have the best combat record, Kiana." Fu Hua said, "And, for your pitiful credits, an apprenticeship is still necessary."

"Things like credits..." Kiana looked away. She wanted to say that as long as she didn't slack off and sleep, it wouldn't be a problem to get a passing grade. But... forget it. She wasn't ready to be promoted to an A-rank Valkyrie anyway, so she should just continue to fail in her studies.

"Okay, squad leader, I'm convinced by you." Kiana also stood up and said.

It's just a simple investigation mission, how could there be any unexpected events?

Destiny Headquarters.

"My Lord Bishop, Fu Hua has already started to recover the Serenity Gem according to your order, but... why did you specify that she should also be involved?"

"This is just a small test. Let me and [them] in secret see how far the situation has progressed. Also, after so long, the Shaniyatt family should have an explanation at least."

A few hours later, Queen's Hotel, Singapore.

"Ladies, please come in." The waiter bowed to the two guests who had arrived.

"Wow!" Kiana looked at the dazzling array of delicious food in front of her and felt that all the food was emitting a golden glow, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.

But although Kiana was greedy, she did not start eating immediately. Instead, she looked at Fu Hua and whispered, "So, squad leader, what should we do next?"

"Just do as we agreed at the beginning. I will be responsible for the main investigation tasks. Kiana, you just stay here and observe if there are any suspicious people. He is in this hotel." Fu Hua said.

Kiana nodded to show that she had no objection. It was such a simple job that didn't require her to investigate anything, so of course she was more than happy to do it.

After Fu Hua left, Kiana felt that she had nothing to do anyway, so she just sat down and started eating. Of course, she did not forget to pay attention to the situation around her.

The situation in Singapore is different from other places. Most countries in the world either stand on the side of Anti-Entropy or on the side of Destiny. A small number of countries have chosen to remain neutral. In neutral countries, the armed forces of Anti-Entropy and Destiny cannot enter. However, neutrality also has a price. That is, when the collapse occurs, neutral countries can only rely on themselves to resist the collapse. Neither Anti-Entropy nor Destiny will take action.

Singapore is one of those neutral countries.

Therefore, Tianming’s actions in Singapore cannot be carried out in a high-profile manner.

While Kiana was eating in the restaurant, a bodyguard was leaning against the door and reporting to the other end of the communicator.

"Has anyone who looks like a Valkyrie or other suspicious person entered?"

"Well, there were two girls who came in just now, but don't worry, they are just ordinary girls."

"Keep checking and don't let your guard down."

The bodyguard cut off the communication, and the next second his mouth was covered by someone, and his heart was pierced by a sharp weapon, leaving him no chance to make a sound.

Ivar put down the corpse in his hand and glanced in the direction Fu Hua left. Although the A-level Valkyrie did not intend to hurt any of the bodyguards and just knock them out, he would not do that. As long as the person was against entropy, the Shaniyat family would not let him go.

Maria Shaniyat, the Valkyrie qualification examiner at the Mission Headquarters, had previously led a team to destroy the orphanage in Cocolia. She is considered the Shaniyat family member with the greatest grudge against Cocolia.

"The twelfth... The Queen's Hotel has become a den of Anti-Entropy. Singapore wants to give up its neutrality and cooperate with Anti-Entropy... Unfortunately, everything has a price." Ivar thought to himself, should the others have already taken action? In ancient times, the Shanyat family did a lot of such things... Although the "white" Shanyat family would not approve of such things and would not do them, who made him come from the "black" side?

If cooperation is reached, it will be impossible to take action again. This is almost an international consensus. Once this is done, the reputation of Tianming will be hit and Anti-Entropy will be criticized.

Originally, Shaniyat was unwilling to target Anti-Entropy in this way. If he had that much time, he would rather destroy Honkai. However, after the accident several years ago, he began to retaliate by any means necessary.

Anti-Entropy seems to be making some big moves in Singapore. The intelligence-gathering Valkyrie of Destiny is still investigating. However, the cooperation between Anti-Entropy and Singapore will be stillborn after tonight.

Ivar twirled the dagger in his hand for a while, then once again turned his gaze towards Kiana in the restaurant, narrowing his eyes: "K423... has it grown this big? But it seems that it is too unguarded... Haha, the child brought up by that loser Siegfried is only this big."

Should he take her back? However, he had not received any orders from the bishop. The bishop only told him that K423 was still under the surveillance of Tianming.

Besides, K423's name was actually Kiana Kaslana? Did the head of the family know about this? Would Maria and the others be furious if they knew? For the sake of stability, the bishop did nothing wrong... Anyway, he didn't feel anything. It was just a name, he didn't care. If the mission required it, he could change his name to Kiana.

Since the bishop had not given any orders and he had already seen k423, there was no need for him to stay in the Queen's Hotel any longer. He had to go to other places in Singapore to finish the finishing work.

"Hmm?" Ivar's eyes changed. He noticed a white-haired old man approaching Kiana. He recognized at a glance that it was Dr. Maki who had defected with the Serenity Gem. He subconsciously tensed his body and gripped the pistol at his waist, but he forcibly controlled his movements.

He planned to observe whether this experimental subject who left with the traitor Siegfried could cope with the current situation.

Kiana helped the old man who suddenly appeared open the wine. Suddenly, there was an explosion on the roof. Kiana was startled and returned the bottle to the old man and looked out the window.

The old man took the bottle, looked at the girl who seemed defenseless with her back to him, raised the syringe in his hand, and the next moment, his wrist was firmly grasped by the girl.

"Grandpa, what do you want to do?" the girl asked.

"That's not like Siegfried..." commented an assassin who was observing secretly. He put down the gun in his hand and felt that he might need to re-evaluate the girl in front of him. She didn't seem to be as naive as he thought.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from his earphones, causing his pupils to shrink. Then, a beast-like gaze appeared in his eyes: "You said... did you see Siegfried?"

This time, the bishop and the head of the family didn't tell me to stop the investigation... Siegfried, don't think about leaving Singapore alive this time...

"Attention all Shaniat family members in Singapore, search for Siegfried with all your strength, at any cost, as long as he is dead."

Chapter 10: Grudges

For the city of Singapore, this night is destined not to be peaceful.

"boom--"

The flames engulfed the street behind him. The black-clad street scavenger stood on the extinguished street lamp, staring coldly at the one-armed, white-haired man in front of him.

"The hounds of the Shaniyat family... you guys are really relentless..." Siegfried Kaslana, the former head of the Kaslana family, said while holding the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, pointing at Ivar Shaniyat who was chasing him all the way.

"Siegfried, you must pay for the sins you committed. You must pay the price. The blood of the Shanyat family will not be shed in vain." Ivar said coldly, "The power of the Holy Judgment of Skyfire is indeed huge, but it is meaningless if it cannot hit."

"Heh..." The Skyfire Judge in Siegfried's hand changed its form and turned into a giant sword. "Really? Do you want to try... the power of the Skyfire when it's unsheathed?"

"I don't care, because you can't kill me with your current Skyfire. Maybe you will die together with me." Ivar sneered, "But do you dare? Siegfried, there are more than just Destiny and Anti-Entropy within the attack range of Skyfire."

"you……!"

Siegfried's pupils shrank. He didn't want to fight with the hounds of the Shanyat family, but the hounds never gave up on hunting him, just like tonight. It was just that their whereabouts were slightly leaked, and these cold-blooded guys came over after smelling the scent. If they continued to fight like this, Cocolia's plan might succeed...

Although it was unclear whether Ivar was bragging, Siegfried knew very well that once he used the power of the Skyfire Greatsword, the safety of the residents around here would be difficult to guarantee. If the power was too small, it would not be able to drive back the hounds, and if the power was too large, it would raze the surrounding area to the ground.

Tianming has already announced his defection and expulsion, causing a large number of casualties in Singapore. In the end, the blame will only be pinned on Anti-Entropy by Tianming.

Therefore, he would not act rashly.

Moreover, the main purpose of his coming here was actually to stop Cocolia's conspiracy, but now this matter seemed to have become extremely difficult due to the interference of the Shaniyat family. Wait, his whereabouts were leaked, could it be because of Cocolia...

"I am tired of the fruitless pursuit of you, Siegfried Kaslana." Ivar jumped down from the street lamp and lit a cigarette. "If you took the lives of so-called civilians into consideration, you could have kept escaping, and our tolerance for you being alive has reached its limit. Singapore's unwise move to take sides has given us a chance to make an example of you."

"What have you done?" Siegfried said through gritting his teeth. He had noticed that the hounds of the Shanyat family had gradually surrounded them, and there was at least one person from the Shanyat family near this area.

In this situation, should I fight my way out of the encirclement like I did when I defected?

In my current physical condition, can I go out?

Also, doesn’t the Shaniyat family know what Cocolia is planning to do here in Singapore?

No, based on his years of experience in hunting the Shanyat hounds, they would definitely not say any nonsense if they were going to take action. Now Ivar even lit a cigarette in front of him, which meant that they had no intention of launching a full-scale attack on him.

But when Ivar fought with him before, he didn't say any nonsense and came here purely to kill him. Now his attitude suddenly changed in a short period of time, which means that they may have noticed Cocolia's plan in Singapore. For this reason, they need to get more detailed information from him.

In other words, they planned to kill me after getting the intelligence.

Now he could only gamble. Although Ivar did not care about the safety of the lives of the surrounding residents when threatening him, the conspiracy of the female vixen Cocolia involved all the humans in the city, and the Shaniyat family should not ignore it.

If the game fails, then he can only give it a try and use the heavenly fire to carve out a way out for himself again.

If he doesn't release the Skyfire, Siegfried knows very well that he cannot defeat Ivar even in a one-on-one fight. The opponent is a killer trained by the Shaniyat family specifically against humans, and in a recent confrontation, Siegfried discovered that Ivar was also using the power of artificial collapse.

Man-made collapse can cause great harm to the human body. Even though he had awakened the power of man-made collapse on the Siberian battlefield, he was injured after being surrounded and attacked by the Shanyat family during the defection incident. Now he has to rely on the drugs developed by Einstein and others to suppress the super-mutation factors in his body and not turn into an insane beast.

"It seems that you understand why I didn't give the order immediately." Ivar said, "Singapore will pay the price for its unwise decision, but before that, I need to know what Anti-Entropy is going to do in this city. Answer my questions, and I may be able to guarantee that you can die happily."

"Heh... What if Cocolia plans to use the Serenity Gem to artificially cause a collapse in this city?" Siegfried said while paying attention to the movements of the hounds around him, "She wants to use this to seize the power of the Herrscher."

"I see... So it seems that what Anti-Entropy declared when it was established is nothing more than this." Ivar sneered, "You criticize the inhumanity of Destiny, but in turn you are just doing the same thing. Even if there are differences between the executives, it is your fault that Cocolia can become an executive. In the final analysis, Anti-Entropy is just Destiny in a new skin."

Therefore, this is also the reason why the Shaniyat family adopted a neutral attitude at the beginning. In the eyes of the Shaniyat family, the rebellion of Anti-Entropy is actually no different from the internal strife caused by the uneven distribution of power in history. This matter that should be handled by the Mandate of Heaven itself has little to do with the Shaniyat family. At most, if the bishop needs it, he will symbolically send some people to suppress it. The main force is still at the forefront of the fight against the collapse.

After all, Anti-Entropy is at least aimed at fighting against the collapse, and it also helps to share some of the pressure of Destiny.

As for what Anti-Entropy declared when it was founded, Ivar felt that it was just nice words. What happened in Singapore this time was enough to prove that Anti-Entropy was nothing more than that.

There was also the previous incident of the Third Herrscher in the Far East, which also showed signs of man-made Houkai, and it was probably related to Cocolia.

For an executive to have such a big say in Anti-Entropy, either the other executives are incompetent trash, or Anti-Entropy is just like that, a bunch of loose sand that can't make any difference.

Regardless of which one it was, after Siegfried's defection, Shaniyat had been completely at war with Anti-Entropy. On the one hand, it was a personal grudge, and on the other hand, it was because Shaniyat believed that Anti-Entropy had become an obstacle to his measures to fight against Honkai, and was a stumbling block to the fight against Honkai that had to be eliminated.

"Colonel Ivar, our people were attacked by anti-entropy mechas, and we also found anti-entropy mechas approaching around the encirclement. What should we do now?" someone asked in a low voice on the communicator.

"In order to protect the success of their plan, they have to stop our actions first... Moreover, Singapore actually allowed the Anti-Entropy Titan troops to appear while remaining neutral on the surface? Or is it covering for Siegfried to escape?" Ivar glanced at Siegfried and fell into thought.

Soon, he made a decision: "Everyone, retreat immediately and break out. Dig deep into the ground to find the Serenity Gem, no matter what the cost. As for Siegfried, I will deal with it myself."

"Haven't you discovered yet? Cocolia plans to use you to hold me back here, and then use the power of the Serenity Gem to trigger a collapse that will be enough to give birth to a Herrscher!" Siegfried couldn't help but say this when he found that the hound still didn't let him go and wanted to fight him to the death.

"Indeed, your whereabouts have always been difficult to find even for the Shanyatid family without their help, but today we easily found your whereabouts, which was smoother than we could imagine." Ivar said calmly, "So, what you said is true. In order to ensure the completion of his own goals, Cocolia took advantage of the hatred between you and us Shanyatids to complete his own plan."

"Then why are you still so stubborn?!" Siegfried said impatiently, and keenly noticed the word "they". It has been a long-standing rumor in both Destiny and Anti-Entropy that the Shanyat family has a mysterious dark organization. Cecilia seemed to know about this when she was alive, but when he asked about it, Cecilia said, "That's all fake," and said that she didn't want Siegfried to ask any more questions.

But his wife was not good at lying, so Siegfried concluded that "they" did exist, but what kind of organization "they" were remained a mystery.

"Incorrigible? No, no, no... It's just that we don't need to care about this matter at all." Ivar threw away the cigarette. "How about you guess who are the two Saint Freya's Valkyries who are here to capture the traitor and bring him back to fate?"

"What do you mean?" Siegfried frowned. He knew that a Valkyrie was coming from Theresa's side, but before he could take a look, the Shaniats came to chase her.

"One of the Valkyries is named Kiana Kaslana. Don't tell me this is a coincidence." Ivar sneered, "We all know that Cecilia's daughter was already..." during your defection several years ago.

The flames passed by Ivar, and Ivar's face became emotionless. At this moment, the former head of the Kaslana family standing opposite him was really angry, but so was he.

"Your defection killed the child of Saint Shanyat, and caused four Valkyries of the Shanyat family to lose their combat capability and become disabled for life because of intercepting your defection and Anti-Entropy's support. In addition, another Valkyrie died. Siegfried Kaslana, the sins of you and Anti-Entropy... are unforgivable." Ivar said coldly, "Today, you must pay the price for your actions!"

In his hand appeared a pitch-black knight's sword, the key of the tenth god, the key of domination: Xuan-Yuan Sword - Undestroyed Lake Light.

"Is that also the Key of God?" Siegfried's eyes grew serious. Although the oppressive feeling brought by the weapon in the opponent's hand was not as great as that of the Key of God such as the Black Abyss White Flower and the Holy Judgement of Skyfire, the aura it exuded undoubtedly belonged to the Key of God.

The Shaniyat family possesses more than just the two Keys of God, the Black Abyss and the White Flower and the Oath of Judah?

Siegfried gritted his teeth. The whole night of hunting had already brought him a lot of trauma. The Shanyat family really came here to kill him. Now, Ivar told him that Kiana had also come to the city. He couldn't get away and couldn't send out the box that could suppress the power of the Serenity Gem. If this happened, Kiana would...

He decided to make a quick decision and had to get rid of Ivar first before he could stop the conspiracy of the female vixen Cocolia!

Ivar looked at Siegfried coldly and said in a sarcastic tone: "So, you are treating that child as a substitute for your daughter, Siegfried?"

"Shut up! She's not..."

The knight's sword collided with the Skyfire Greatsword, but Ivar quickly released the force and turned his body to avoid the chopped Skyfire Greatsword, then he stabbed Siegfried in the chest with a sword.

Siegfried also quickly dodged to the side. If he hadn't already lost an arm, he would not have been able to save this arm tonight.

"She's not? Then why did you give her Kiana's name?" Ivar said as he fought to the death with Siegfried, "Can you say you really didn't have the thought of using her as a substitute?"

Siegfried remained silent.

After once again creating some distance, Ivar and Siegfried stopped, not knowing when the Titan troops had surrounded them.

"You running dogs of the Shaniyat family, today this is where you will die! None of you will leave alive!" Cocolia's hateful voice came from the Titan.

Siegfried's heart sank. It seemed that he had underestimated Cocolia's hatred for Shanyiat. Siegfried had also heard about the Shanyiat family's raid on Cocolia's orphanage. Not only did they destroy all of Cocolia's experimental facilities there, but... it was said that many children were injured and died as a result.

Shaniyat hated Anti-Entropy, and how could Kokolia not hate Shaniyat? The resentment between the two sides has continued to deepen over the years.

This is also a serious problem that Einstein and Tesla are worried about. If the Shaniyat family continues to be allowed to go crazy like this, the final result will be that only one side between Anti-Entropy and Shaniyat will survive while the other side will be completely destroyed.

Therefore, they are also considering ways to ease relations with the Shaniyat family.
