Chapter 126: Siegfried Kaslana
The nights in Singapore are always full of lights and music, with gorgeous neon lights casting a colorful glow.
In a bar near the Queen Hotel, with the noise and music playing, a white-haired man was sitting alone in the corner of the bar.
Although this was a cheap bar with a mixed crowd and many thugs and villains, everyone chose to keep a certain distance from the white-haired man.
There was no other reason. The murderous aura emanating from that man made these social scums who usually bully the weak and fear the strong spontaneously stay away from him.
They had only seen this kind of solemn and murderous temperament in veteran soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Not everyone could possess it.
Even the waiter behind the bar counter was watching him carefully, fearing that he might cause trouble if he got unhappy.
Fortunately, this white-haired man didn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble. He just drank there silently.
Such a mixed place is naturally a place where information flows. The white-haired man drank while listening to other people's conversations.
"Hey, did you hear? There was a big explosion at the Queen's Hotel just now! A lot of glass fell from the sky! It almost hit someone!"
"I was there at the time, and I saw a gray-haired woman jumping from more than 30 floors without any injury, really!"
"I don't believe it. You must have drunk too much! How is it possible that someone could jump from such a high place and still be okay? Do you think this is a novel?"
"What he said is true. My uncle works in the police department. He received a notice that a woman had launched a terrorist attack on the Queen's Hotel. A warrant will be issued to hunt her down across the country tomorrow!"
The information received by ordinary people is always messy and half true and half false, but in the ears of those who are attentive, they can still unravel the information and obtain useful and important intelligence.
The Valkyrie of Schicksal has come into direct conflict with the Anti-Entropy guys...
She managed to escape, and it seems that the Serenity Gem is still in Anti-Entropy's hands.
Of course, compared to this, he cares more about Kiana's safety.
Who would have thought that he, who came to this city for business on behalf of a friend, would meet his own daughter by such a coincidence?
'No, wait, Kiana appearing here, I'm afraid... it's hard to say it's a coincidence.'
'Otto... that guy must have done it on purpose.'
Thinking of that golden-haired bastard, he couldn't help but put down his wine glass and clenched his only remaining hand into a fist.
His wife, Cecilia, an S-class Valkyrie who had always served Schicksal, died from the Honkai fission bomb ordered by the Bishop of Schicksal.
What happened in the past cannot be undone. No matter what, he must protect Kiana's safety now.
It seemed that he was so focused on thinking about his wife and daughter that he, who was always sensitive, even ignored a figure that had come to his side.
The visitor smiled and whispered:
"Sir, can I sit next to you?"
"…."
He did not refuse, nor did he look up, but continued to think about Kiana.
"Waiter, give me two glasses of the most expensive wine here, one for me and one for this gentleman."
The visitor continued.
"…"
This time, he finally raised his head and looked at the man sitting next to him.
The boy was young and handsome and looked to be about the same age as his daughter, but his eyes revealed an unfathomable maturity and calmness that did not match his age.
The boy stared at him unabashedly, as if trying to see through every detail of his heart.
The experienced man immediately understood one thing:
This person came prepared. He came here specifically to find me.
Pursuers of Schicksal? No, that's not right. Schicksal has almost no male fighters.
It is even more impossible to be Anti-Entropy. The old witch Cocolia has no connection with him, let alone come to hunt him down.
In any case, he sensed a hint of warrior aura from this visitor, and he knew that this was no ordinary person.
So, his hand silently reached to his lower back, where the weapon that had accompanied him for many years was pinned.
The Seventh Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash.
"Please rest assured that I have no hostility towards you, Mr. Siegfried."
The young man seemed to see some hostility in him and advised him softly.
"…Let's talk outside."
Siegfried pursed his lips and motioned for him to follow him outside.
The person who found Siegfried was, of course, Kirataka.
Knowing that he had arrived in Singapore, it was not difficult to find where he was.
After all, Siegfried had Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein as his sources of intelligence, so he naturally knew that Watt and his troops were all stationed in the Queen Hotel.
Therefore, he must be lurking near the Queen Hotel, looking for the opportunity to take action.
After a little investigation, Kirataka successfully found Siegfried's location.
Although it was late at night, the lights outside the bar were still on.
Kirataka followed Siegfried's steps and walked into the nearby alley.
Few people passed by here, so it was a good place for conversation.
Of course, it was also a good place to get your hands dirty.
Kirataka's eyes fell on the father, and he could see his appearance clearly in the light.
Siegfried Kaslana, a legendary figure.
Because of some experiences in the past, he now had only one arm left, and the sleeve on the other side was empty and fluttering in the wind.
Despite this, his temperament as a brave and combative Kaslana warrior had not diminished at all.
Although his strength might have been affected, as the previous head of the Kaslana family, he undoubtedly possessed the combat power equivalent to that of an S-class Valkyrie under normal circumstances.
If he risked his life again, he could temporarily use Kaslana's [Artificial Honkai], which would allow him to easily crush the Second Herrscher.
——It was precisely because Siegfried had displayed such terrifying power that Otto wanted to launch an Honkai energy fission bomb to wipe him out at all costs.
Of course, Kirataka didn't come to fight Siegfried.
"Tell me, who are you? What do you want to see me for?"
Siegfried asked casually, leaning against the wall of the alley, drinking the wine he had just finished.
Kirataka thought for a moment and said:
"Mr. Siegfried... I'm Kiana's classmate."
——When facing Siegfried, who was a lone ranger and whom he met for the first time, there was no need for him to hide his identity.
And it would be easier to gain his trust by mentioning the name of a paramecium.
Sure enough, after hearing his daughter's name, the father's attitude was no longer so casual, and his eyes became much more serious.
After a brief pause, Kirataka continued:
"…I am here to protect your daughter."
