ALL NOVEL Chapter 128: Chapter 123: Could He Be the Illegitimate Child of the Celestial Immortal?
"And the way this abnormal corruption spreads is through the 'Stellaron.'"
"The 'Stellaron' spreads like cancer cells, which is why the Interasteral Peace Corporation calls it the 'Cancer of All Worlds.'"
"So you're saying there's a cancer cell inside Stelle that's enough to threaten the world?" Fu Lin scratched his head. While he didn't understand the earlier explanation, the last sentence was easy enough to grasp.
"...That's one way to understand it," Welt reluctantly nodded as he looked at Fu Lin, whose thoughts seemed to follow an unconventional path.
-----------------------
Just as Fu Lin continued chatting with Welt, at the headquarters of Schicksal...
"Miss Kiana, you've already smashed several of my spare bodies. Are you calm now?"
Otto looked pained as he glanced at the pile of soulium bodies in the corner, now unrecognizable in shape. Then, he turned to Kiana and asked.
"Hmph~ I'll let it slide this time." Kiana crossed her arms, staring at Otto without blinking. "I still have something I need from you."
Seeing that the attacks had finally ceased, Otto heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't fight back, nor could he escape. Sigh~ Life isn't easy. Otto lamented.
Upon hearing that Kiana had come to find him for a reason, Otto couldn't help but complain, "You came to me just to beat me up?"
"Why not beat up the version of me in that world?"
Resting her chin on her hand, Kiana looked harmoniously at Otto on the other side and said, "Because the Otto in my world is already dead~"
Looking at the smiling Kiana across from him, Otto clapped his hands and cheered, "That's truly a cause for worldwide celebration~ Good riddance! Someone like him deserves no better fate than death."
"You..." Kiana stared speechlessly at Otto. She had never seen someone so self-aware.
"Ahem! What do you need me to do, and what will you give me in return?" Otto propped his chin on his hand, looking at Kiana.
"I'm not negotiating with you. Obey or face destruction. Choose." Kiana squinted her eyes, aiming the barrel of her gun at Otto, speaking kindly.
"Friend, I was just joking. Put the gun down. There's no need for violence. I'll do my best to meet your demands," Otto quickly raised his hands in surrender, feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Kiana.
Kiana stroked her chin and said, "Give me 1 billion first... Wait, is 1 billion too little for Schicksal? Then make it 10 billion for starters."
"You really know how to ask... Even if Schicksal is wealthy, it can't fork out that much at once!" Otto's mouth twitched as he looked at Kiana, who was shamelessly demanding, and said, "At most, 15 million."
"15? Are you treating me like a beggar? At least 80!" Kiana pressed her hands on the table, glaring at Otto.
"20, no more."
"70!"
"25..."
"60, at least!"
"30, no more."
"50! Or I'll tear Schicksal apart!"
"31. Even if you dismantle Schicksal, you won't get that much!"
"...40."
"Deal!"
Kiana glanced at Otto and couldn't help but inwardly cover her mouth in laughter.
'30 million more than I expected. As expected of that crafty Otto, he's loaded.'
Amber, "…Lord Otto, this money can only be transferred from the startup fund for your new Kallen Fantasy project."
"..."
"Where should we send the money?" Otto clutched his chest, his face as grim as if he'd eaten something foul. He then turned to Amber and said, "…From now on, cut Theresa's monthly allowance in half and transfer it to the new Kallen Fantasy startup fund."
Amber, "Understood."
"Then please have Overseer Otto set up an identity for me, and prepare my personal records!" Kiana, hearing the conversation between the two, silently mourned for Theresa for a few seconds before pulling out a sheet of paper. After scribbling on it for a moment, she handed it to Otto.
"This is... Fu Hua? She's currently in St. Freya..." Otto scrutinized the roughly sketched figure on the paper, but he could still make out the general features that were identical to Fu Hua.
"It's Fu Lin, not the class monitor." Kiana corrected him.
"Amber, investigate the person Kiana mentioned." Otto handed the paper to Amber behind him.
"Please wait a moment." Amber worked on her tablet for a short time before handing the results to Otto.
"Name: Fu Lin
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Family: Parents deceased
Nationality: Shenzhou
Exceptional academic performance from a young age, later studied abroad... attended Chiba Academy... died during the Third Honkai Impact."
"Interesting... Could he be the illegitimate child of the Celestial Immortal?" Otto pondered as he examined the photo of Fu Lin in the top-right corner of the document, noticing the resemblance to someone familiar.
Fu Hua, "Achoo!"
