Kiana's eyes widened.
Didn't her Older Sister say that her life was only about fighting?
Why was she suddenly playing matchmaker?
"Although I don't know what happened, Durandal seems to have met someone connected to Cecilia and Siegfried."
At this point, Rita's expression also grew serious.
As Otto's glove, Rita was intimately familiar with past history.
But in the information she knew, Cecilia never had any sworn brother.
Judging from her own knowledge, this was undoubtedly a lie.
However, that man easily recognized Durandal, revealed Kiana's whereabouts, and at the same time pointed out that the Archbishop was someone with a strong self-destructive tendency.
—That guy's understanding of Schicksal was truly astonishing.
Perhaps, even the patriarchs of Schicksal's three great families didn't understand Schicksal better than him.
Such a strong sense of existence, yet not in Schicksal's archives... Had the history she saw already been altered?
Rita's eyes flickered.
So, who altered history?
The Archbishop?
Then, why did the Archbishop seal off all his records, not even allowing his name to appear... Rita took a deep breath, feeling as if she was facing a deep sea.
Just as she was about to further deduce the whereabouts of that Godfather, Kiana nudged her, pulling her out of the abyss of thought.
"What does Older Sister meeting an elder and looking for a suitable girl to marry have to do with anything?"
Kiana, who didn't know she suddenly had a wild father, or even a wild grandfather, was full of confusion.
Then—
She noticed the elegant and graceful Miss Maid looking at her with a strange gaze, as if watching a hapless character in a melodramatic romance.
"Probably..."
"She hopes that Godfather stops thinking about Cecilia."
"Huh?!"
Kiana, who was raised by Siegfried, felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Chapter 43 Kiana is on her way, riding a horse
ME Company.
A Fortune 500 level company.
As one of Anti-Entropy's important financial sources, this company was undoubtedly rich and powerful.
Luo Su followed Raiden Mei into the company, looking around.
Red 鸞 Star moves.
This was a very tempting phrase.
So much so that even after being chased by Kiana again and Durandal sending him flying with a spear to accompany Prime Minister Dong, this guy still risked it all to come over.
...Luo Su, you seem exceptionally energetic today.
Raiden Mei, who was leading the way, turned back and couldn't help but ask.
"Did something good happen?"
"Cough cough, it's nothing, I just feel like this world is especially beautiful, and the air is very fresh."
Luo Su coughed.
"[Bullshit, it's clearly your heart stirring]"
The prompter angrily criticized a certain person's shamelessness.
"Guan Guan Ju Jiu, on the river's isle, a fair maiden, a gentleman's good match."
"Red 鸞 Star moves, how can this be called inner stirring?"
Luo Su argued in his mind, earning a roll of the prompter's eyes.
So, who would be connected to him by fate?
Luo Su's mind wandered.
First, exclude Durandal and Kiana.
Durandal currently viewed him as a father, and Kiana as a sister or daughter, so it was clearly impossible.
If it were to become possible, Luo Su would directly perform eating a laptop whole.
Then, exclude Raiden Mei.
Raiden Mei was a reserved and slow-to-warm-up type; without a sudden special event, it would probably take one or two years for her to respond.
If it were possible, Luo Su would be willing to chew on a keyboard.
Bronya was even more impossible.
The matter of her mother being captured by Dai E was inextricably linked to him.
If that could happen, he might have to eat a computer host.
Luo Su's expression also became troubled.
He only knew a few women in the Honkai World, and after eliminating them all, only Rita was left.
However, Rita didn't seem to like men very much, so there wasn't much possibility either... This Red 鸞 Star had moved for nothing.
"System, any hints?"
After nine layers of thought, Master Luo decided to seek help from his golden finger.
"[Fate, cannot be spoken, but I suggest you go eat an electronic component first—because your Red 鸞 Star has indeed moved, but you've excluded all the girls you know. According to the vows you made, no matter who it is, you'll have to chew on an electronic component]"
"Luo Su, my father is up ahead."
Raiden Mei's voice interrupted Luo Su's thoughts.
Luo Su peered over and saw a man who once stood out.
"Mei, you go out first."
The man named Raiden Ryoma walked towards Luo Su and Raiden Mei, telling his daughter to step aside.
"Lord Luo Su, long time no see."
"Long time no see."
Luo Su wasn't surprised, shaking Raiden Ryoma's hand naturally and smoothly accepting the bank card from Raiden Ryoma's hand.
This man was as sensible as ever.
"Lord Raiden, is there something you wish to consult me about?"
Luo Su looked at the man before him.
Compared to their last meeting, his condition didn't seem very good.
There were dark circles under his glasses, and the beard that had been cleanly shaved in prison had grown out.
This guy's recent routine must have been quite chaotic.
However, even with a chaotic routine, the man's voice was still extremely magnetic.
He looked at Luo Su and slowly spoke.
"May I ask... Do you know about Herrschers?"
Luo Su nodded; this was actually a rhetorical question, as he had mentioned the Gem of Conquest to Raiden Ryoma during his previous dream.
Raiden Ryoma probably wanted to use this as an excuse to talk about other things.
"Of course I know. Herrschers are apostles of God. In most cases, Herrschers are moving disasters, but in extremely rare possibilities, they can be a controllable force."
"Are you going to talk to me about Raiden Mei?"
Luo Su said this.
What could make Raiden Ryoma so restless was probably this.
"Yes, Mei's body contains the authority of a Herrscher. Because of this, she is very easily targeted by people with ulterior motives."
The man's expression grew tired as he spoke.
"To be frank, my subordinates told me that new forces are trying to spy on the Raiden Family again."
Ah... If it's a certain lesbian Miss Maid, there's actually not much to worry about.
Luo Su thought.
"Perhaps, you don't need to be so anxious."
Luo Su comforted the man who might have been frightened by Rita.
"Because, as far as I know, the organizations currently most keen on creating Herrschers are World Serpent and Schicksal."
"A friend of mine, well, I mean I have a friend who informed Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie about the darkness within Schicksal and the organization called World Serpent lurking in the shadows. They should also rein in their activities for a short while."
Raiden Ryoma's mouth twitched slightly.
If he remembered correctly, in young people's internet slang, "I have a friend" usually meant oneself, right?
Should he say, as expected of a prophet?
Recalling various situations his daughter had asked about, Raiden Ryoma sighed.
When it came to getting things done, he was truly meticulous.
It was just a pity... Even a prophet couldn't account for the greed of human hearts.
The power of Herrschers was too alluring.
Even with the most righteous Valkyrie there to deter them, it wouldn't stop the petty villains.
"What you said might be right, but I only have one daughter."
The man clapped his hands, and just like many wealthy people in movies, burly bodyguards in black quickly walked in, carrying boxes.
"I cannot entrust my daughter's safety to a vague, 'strongest in Schicksal'."
"So—"
"Lord Luo Su, are you willing to make a deal with me?"
The man had people open one box after another.
The contents of the boxes were neatly categorized.
They could roughly be divided into four types.
One type was shares and land deeds, one type was pure US dollars, and another type was pure gold.
"[...Holy crap, Raiden Ryoma directly pulled out all of the Raiden Family's assets. Damn it, is he not leaving any working capital at all?]"
Those boxes, one by one, carried a mountain-like pressure.
Even Luo Su, who had already become a lord, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
