Their commission was suspicious.

……

The sound of high heels clicking on the ground echoed through the empty prison. Upon hearing the sound, the man in the prison frowned slightly and slowly stood up.

"Cocolia, what brings you here?" Raiden Ryoma frowned when he saw the familiar woman outside the prison bars.

"Don't be so resistant. I did get you a new prison, didn't I? Are you familiar with the environment here?" Cocolia looked around the prison that had been prepared specifically for Raiden Ryoma and which Raiden Ryoma had just moved into.

Raiden Ryoma didn't originally live here, but ever since Cocolia was stabbed in the back by Wait, Cocolia moved Raiden Ryoma to a cleaner and tidier prison.

Although changing prisons is troublesome, it's not impossible.

"Very good, it would be even better if there were a television set," Raiden Ryoma said casually.

"Hmm, give you something about electronics? I'm not that stupid," Cocolia scoffed.

"Then what are you doing here? Just to see what a prisoner looks like?"

“I don’t have time to come see you anymore. It’s this Alliance Leader who wants to see you.” Cocolia stepped aside, revealing the hooded man.

"Heh, Alliance Leader." He sneered at the rashly Thunder Dragon Horse.

If the person next to you is the alliance leader, he'll eliminate you first.

"Then what brings you here, Alliance Leader?" Thunder Dragon Horse emphasized the word "Alliance Leader," his tone full of sarcasm.

"Well, I'm just here to take a picture." After saying that, the hooded man suddenly took out a camera and snapped a few pictures of the lightning dragon horse that couldn't dodge in time.

"What do you want to do?" Thunder Dragon Horse looked at the man warily.

"Nothing much, just that I'm going to catch your good daughter tonight. I hope she'll try not to resist because her father is suffering. Sigh, I really don't know if your daughter will give up resisting when she sees your picture, or even help me fight against her friends. Hmm, that sounds interesting. Hahaha!" Vait let out a laugh that sounded exactly like a villain.

Or rather, Vayte himself is the villain.

"You bastard! How dare you touch my daughter..." The previously calm Thunder Dragon Horse gripped the railing and roared angrily.

"Shut up, you prisoner." Vayte stepped forward, stood in front of Cocolia, and punched Raiden Ryoma in the eye socket.

"Ugh!" Thunder Dragon Horse clutched its eyes in pain and squatted down.

"Let's go." After punching Raiden Ryoma, Vayte took his camera and walked into the distance.

Raiden Ryoma, who had been crouching in front of the railing with his eyes covered, slowly opened one of his hands after hearing the footsteps fade into the distance, looking at the chess piece in his hand with some confusion.

What's this?

Chapter 257 You actually didn't even spare Brother Jie?

"Are we just going to stay home and wait for my dad to come and get himself killed?" Kiana asked, somewhat confused.

It was now evening, and the training ground, which had been bustling with activity in the afternoon because of Durandal, was slowly losing its heat as Durandal returned to the Schicksal headquarters.

Now everyone needs to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

Although Kiana herself didn't mind Chen Luo's proposal to tie Kiana to the school gate and fish her out for a day, it was rejected by everyone else.

Thus, the proposal had no choice but to be shelved.

Although Chen Luo had another proposal, he refused to say anything, only saying to wait patiently.

"What do you mean by 'feeding someone'? Can you put it more nicely? This is called 'waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump'." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Kiana.

"And do you think this is simple? You have no idea how much I've prepared for this." Chen Luo poked Kiana's not-so-bright head with his finger and said.

"How much have you prepared for this? Chen Luo, you wouldn't have been thinking of getting... Mr. Siegfried out of you all along, would you?" Durandal asked immediately after hearing the loophole in Chen Luo's words.

Although Durandal did return to Schicksal headquarters, she could still come back through the bar's entrance.

Although it may seem like an unnecessary step, how could Anti-Entropy not know that Durandal had come to St. Freya Academy? A little inquiry would reveal the truth.

Therefore, at the very least, Durandal should be allowed to leave St. Freya Academy in a public manner.

Otherwise, not only would the enthusiasm of the St. Freya students not be extinguished, but even if Anti-Entropy wanted to invade St. Freya Academy, it would have to think twice.

The Valkyries of Destiny each possess a combined strength of one battle, while Durandal alone commands eight battles.

If those little white rabbits who defy entropy hadn't been kicked in the head by a donkey, they wouldn't have been able to invade the academy when Durandal and Rita were there.

Although Chen Luo controlled Cocolia, he did not control anyone else.

Finding Siegfried wasn't something Cocolia could do on her own; it mainly depended on Tesla and Dr. Einstein.

If nothing unexpected happens, Siegfried should be recuperating with these two anti-entropy elders.

Therefore, if Chen Luo wants Siegfried to come to St. Freya Academy, Cocolia's help alone won't be enough. He needs to find a way to let Siegfried know that his daughter is in danger.

What could possibly worry Siegfried more than the sudden death of both of his daughters?

Even if Siegfried knew it was a trap, he would still come.

Both Tesla and Einstein were intelligent people who knew it was a trap, but they still told Siegfried the news.

After all, if it were just a trap, Siegfried might regret it for a while after falling into it, but if it were real, Siegfried would regret it for the rest of his life.

“No, actually, all these preparations I made were for something else. But since you’re so eager to see Siegfried, let’s get both things done in a bit,” Chen Luo said.

In fact, Chen Luo made these preparations simply because of an accident.

Chen Luo never expected to run into Vayte in Changkong City, nor did he expect Vayte to try to drag Cocolia into this mess.

With these two people, to be honest, there's no need for further preparation. Even if it's a last-minute decision, these two can help Chen Luo complete the task very well.

"Then, won't my going to see my dad affect your plans?" Kiana asked Chen Luo with some concern.

Kiana isn't stupid; she just doesn't like to use her brain. Perhaps...

"Don't worry, I'm an all-powerful traveler, it's nothing." Chen Luo waved his hand.

Chen Luo felt it was necessary for him to play the role of someone who could do anything in the eyes of these people, because that was how he could generate revenue.

Only by appearing to be the most capable will others trust you more and remember to contact you if anything happens.

Although this might turn the others into useless people, it's not a big problem. At worst, Chen Luo can support them for the rest of their lives.

Anyway, there's money to be made from raw stones.

Of course, if you're not making money from raw stones, never act like you can do anything; otherwise, you'll just become a sucker and a tool for others to take advantage of.

But who can blame them when the raw stones smell so good?

"Himeko-sensei, I'll be troubling you these next few days."

Chen Luo was drawn to the commotion in another part of Kiana's house.

Oh no, this should be Himeko's house.

On the other side of the living room, Fu Hua was talking to Himeko about something.

"It's no trouble at all. There are already so many people in the family, one more won't make a difference. But Fu Hua, it always feels a bit strange for you to call me teacher while wearing this outfit."

Himeko Murata did not object to or resist Fu Hua's move into her home, after all, Fu Hua was truly an excellent student, excellent in every way.

However, when Himeko Murata looked at Fu Hua, who was dressed in a traditional Chinese blue and white robe, she felt that she was not like Fu Hua's teacher at all, but rather that Fu Hua was like her teacher.

"I'm sorry, this afternoon my house was burgled by a thief named Mrs. Green Lily. She took all my belongings from my dorm room, including my communicator and all my clothes. I only have this outfit left to wear," Fu Hua said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's not a big problem. In fact, Fu Hua, you look really good in this outfit," Himeko said, shaking her head.

"But I'm very curious, why did your dormitory collapse? Although you said it was because a Honkai Beast appeared, and Honkai energy was indeed detected in St. Freya Academy, how could a Honkai Beast appear in St. Freya Academy? What's more, all the surrounding surveillance cameras have stopped working... Could this also be the work of that Green Lily lady?" Himeko was puzzled.

In short, what happened today was indeed somewhat surreal for Himeko.

"I don't know either. This is really strange. First, all the items in my house mysteriously disappeared while I was taking a shower. Then, a Honkai Beast suddenly appeared and caused the entire dormitory to collapse with a light tap. It gives the impression that the Honkai Beast is quite knowledgeable about structural mechanics." Fu Hua was also completely baffled by this.

"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. Sigh, I never thought that a single girl like me, who doesn't even have a girlfriend, would suddenly have so many people in my house." Himeko sighed for a moment.

"Oh, of course, if you really have a grudge about this, you can also ask that boy over there for help. Although I still don't know what he can do, he's the one to turn to if you have any problems." Himeko said, pointing to Chen Luo who was chatting with Durandal Kiana and the others.

"From repairing water pipes to finding people all over the world, there's basically nothing he can't do. Plus, he's an excellent bartender. Just go to him if you're ever in trouble," Ji Zi enthusiastically promoted Chen Luo's business.

“That man… he feels somewhat familiar to me, but I have absolutely no recollection of ever seeing him before.” Fu Hua looked at Chen Luo in the distance with a troubled expression on her face.

Fu Hua felt a sense of familiarity upon first seeing the young man, but she was certain she had never seen him before, at least not in the last few hundred years.

"Hmm..." Upon hearing Fu Hua's words, Himeko couldn't help but glance at Chen Luo a few more times.

Himeko actually didn't tell Fu Hua something: Fu Hua, who claimed to be from the future and whose existence had been verified, seemed to have a very close relationship with Chen Luo.

However, it seems that Fu Hua from the future doesn't want to acknowledge her current self, so Himeko didn't interfere.

"Chen Luo, someone wants to see you." After thinking for three seconds, Himeko decisively chose to give up.

"Huh?" Chen Luo paused for a moment before looking over.

Seeing that Himeko was pointing at the somewhat flustered Fu Hua, Chen Luo immediately stood up and walked over.

"Hello, Ms. Fu Hua, I'm Chen Luo." Chen Luo extended his hand to Fu Hua.

"Hello." Fu Hua shook Chen Luo's hand and nodded slightly to him.

符华

Discount: 10% off

Discount: 5% off

"..."

As expected, it happened again.

Chen Luo felt a headache coming on when he saw that one person had two different discounts.

Chen Luo also shook hands with the other heroes, and unsurprisingly, the other heroes did the same.

All the heroes have two levels of favorability, perhaps representing different stages in their lives.

The first favorability rating refers to the favorability rating during the pre-civilization era, while the second favorability rating is the current favorability rating of these heroes towards [Chen Luo].

Since Chen Luo didn't know those heroes, the first level of favorability was just the original price.

The second level of favorability is achieved by Chen Luo in the future and these heroes through continuous efforts to build their relationship.

At least that's how all the heroes Chen Luo has shaken hands with so far are.

Incidentally, all the heroes that Chen Luo shook hands with all received a 50% discount on their second favorability rating.

Including Brother Jie.

Oh ho, how ruthless will my future self be, not even sparing Brother Jie?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the favorability rating wasn't 5%, let alone asking Jie Ge to carry the light stick, he wouldn't even be willing to patiently wait for Chen Luo in the conference room for a few minutes.

of course there are exceptions.

The exception is Mebius.

Unlike other characters who have two levels of favorability under each person, Mebius has one level of favorability under each of two people.

Yes, there were two people.

This……

Chen Luo fell into deep thought.

“Fu Hua said she felt like she’d seen you somewhere before,” Himeko said from the side.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I also feel like I've seen Miss Fu Hua somewhere before. We really hit it off immediately," Chen Luo said with a smile.

In fact, Fu Hua's brain is currently damaged; otherwise, if Fu Hua's memory were intact, she would definitely recognize Chen Luo at a glance.

Poor Fu Hua, because of using Feather Dust, her memories have been wiped clean countless times.

Yes, there's also the reason he was hacked to death.

In fact, memories can be retrieved, but it requires a method. Fu Hua's brain has been completely destroyed, so she does indeed not remember some things from the past.

Let alone the previous civilization, even her memories of Cangxuan and Danzhu were very vague.

"What a low-level pickup line." Himeko gave Chen Luo a disdainful look.

What era are we living in? Using phrases like "love at first sight" to strike up a conversation? If you manage to do that, I'll do a handstand and kowtow to you three times.

“I think so too.” But to Himeko’s surprise, Fu Hua, who was usually rather old-fashioned, also nodded.

"..." Don't panic, as long as you don't say the oath you made, then the oath doesn't count as an oath.
