Honkai Impact: Did you meet the First Herrscher when you first arrived? !

So Li Ming easily passed on the work he had recruited, showing that he was standing on solid ground.

What's remarkable is that Otto didn't take this opportunity to do any work for him, which is quite unusual.

"Could it be that His Holiness the Bishop has finally changed his ways?"

Li Ming was a little confused. After he turned off the communication, Theresa walked in. She patted the table, which was just up to her chest, but she was relatively gentle, probably considering the future budget needed for St. Freya Academy. "So, did he agree?"

"That's for sure, look who's taking charge!" Li Ming patted his chest, displaying great confidence.

This made Theresa narrow her eyes. "Oh, didn't you say you were fired by my grandfather? How did you become the chief engineer of the logistics department?"

Her hearing was exceptional; even standing outside a soundproofed meeting room, Theresa could hear most of what was being said.

"Oh..." The shameless Li Ming showed no panic whatsoever, simply nodding and saying matter-of-factly, "Isn't this normal? Back then, I said I would pledge allegiance to you as my lord, and no one in the world dared to disobey. But then you rejected me, so I slunk back home, didn't I?"

"Would my grandfather let you go back so easily?"

Theresa glanced at Li Ming, indicating that she didn't believe him. She knew that although Otto would try to avoid appearing in front of Theresa, Bianca, and others when he did certain things, it didn't mean that Theresa couldn't hear about some of them.

For example, there's the truth behind Cecilia's death during the Second Great Collapse, and some things about the Valkyrie assassination squad, but Theresa doesn't want to face them. If she really becomes the next Archbishop of Schicksal as Li Ming said, then she will definitely abolish this method in the future.

"What if I have some research to do?" Li Ming was a little surprised. Would Theresa actually notice that her grandfather looked like a white-cut, black-filled sesame dumpling?

"Send an assassination squad to infiltrate your area and retrieve your research findings when the time is right."

This is basically the procedure used by assassination squads. Dirona used the same method back then. However, Li Ming is a tough nut to crack, and Dirona, having spent a lot of time with him, seems to have caught his bad habit and has become particularly lazy.

Li Ming simply shook his finger and asked, "What do you think Dirona was doing before?"

These words made Theresa stiffen, and her expression immediately turned ugly. "But I remember that Dirona belonged to the Valkyrie Squad under the Saint 7308 Research Institute."

These words prompted Li Ming to point to himself, “I am the former director of the Saint 7308 Research Institute and the second person in charge of the repair work on the Fourth Divine Key. The former person in charge, Murata Ryusuke, sacrificed himself due to the Asteroid 423 incident.”

"They also used Honkai energy fission bombs back then, just like during the Second Great Honkai Impact." Theresa remembered each use of Honkai energy fission bombs very clearly.

"Yes, so who do you think changed the identities of Dirona's team?"

Li Ming smiled smugly, which made Theresa's face darken. "So, you were in Siberia back then because..."

At that time, Siegfried had just escaped from headquarters, so Li Ming led the Dilona team to... capture Siegfried?

"I was trying to stop Ragnar and the others, but Uncle Siegfried's driving skills were really not good enough and he crashed into the snow mountain."

Li Ming knew Theresa had misunderstood, but when this topic came up, Li Ming was speechless. To be honest, he had done it to avoid what happened later.

Perhaps it's fate!

"Alright, alright, I'll leave Kiana's tutoring to you for the next week."

Theresa said she didn't want to get involved anymore; since she and Li Ming had already agreed, she would just kidnap Himeko.

"Okay, okay, I got it..."

Li Ming waved his hand, preparing to go pick up Kiana, but suddenly remembered Kiana's pair of [Moon Goddess's Protection] items. Li Ming thought for a moment, "By the way, when are you going to return Kiana's pair of [Moon Goddess's Protection] items to her?"

"Do you think Kiana needs [Lunar Guardian] for protection right now?" Theresa glanced at Li Ming. You know, Kiana actually pulled out [Lunar Guardian] and put it on someone's head back then.

Although the Far East has a unique culture, it is not as open as Siberia.

"Okay, then don't lose it."

Li Ming always felt that Theresa would eventually forget about it if she just casually left it in the office.

Theresa simply pushed Li Ming out in disgust.

When I went to pick up Kiana, I saw several kids from the Homecoming Club playing and laughing on the road, while the baseball club from Chiba Academy cheered.
