Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

A perpetually serious face, an entrepreneur who is often so busy that he is nowhere to be seen... these are the only impressions she has of her father.

But even such a father could garner such high praise from Shihen, an elite from another world.

It was only then that the girl realized that she, as a daughter, knew nothing about her father.

She knew nothing about Raiden Ryoma's true job, nor did she understand why Walter had come that night, or even why he had chosen to let her go.

Does someone as weak as her really have the potential to kill her opponent?

"Mr. Shihen, could you tell me more about your father?"

After thinking for a moment, Mei lowered her head slightly and said with a solemn and serious expression.

She wanted to learn more about her father.

But faced with the girl's sincere request, Shihen could only shake his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, Miss Leidian, you are not on our side yet."

This involves confidentiality regulations, so I can't say much more to you.

Even though Mei is the child of a high-ranking member of Anti-Entropy, as long as the other party does not join Anti-Entropy, those things will always be a barrier between the girl and the others.

"..."

Looking at the black-haired boy in front of her, Mei bit her lip, her face full of resentment.

“But I can tell you something,” Shihen said softly, his expression suddenly becoming serious. “With his knowledge and abilities, Mr. Raiden Ryoma has saved a great many people.”

He is a true hero.

Although high-end mechs can basically only be manufactured by Anti-Entropy headquarters, the mid-to-low-end Titan mechs produced by ME Corporation occupy a considerable share in the entire Anti-Entropy.

These mechs, produced by ME Corporation, were deployed to the battlefield, saving countless lives.

A large part of these achievements undoubtedly belong to Thunder Dragon Horse.

Even if their combat strength is lacking, their reliability in their professional field is beyond doubt.

"Father……"

As she murmured softly, Mei's eyes welled up with tears.

Amidst all the insults and slander, this was the first time she had heard anyone give such high praise to her father.

In an instant, it was as if a ray of light shone into the girl's heart, completely dispelling the lingering gloom of the past.

Even if the girl knows the truth, she will still be hurt by being surrounded by rumors and gossip.

But now, Mei feels that those words don't matter anymore.

Even when dark clouds obscure the sun, the light of truth will ultimately penetrate everything.

One day, she will be able to stand proudly in front of the crowd and say with her hand on her chest: Thunder Dragon Horse was never a fraudster, but a true hero who has saved countless people.

“Miss Raiden, I’ve heard about you from some friends.” Shihen said softly, a sunny smile spreading across his face. “If you don’t mind, would you like to learn cooking from me?”

"what???"

The girl was immediately dumbfounded.

Chapter 124 The Boy's Wings Will Eventually Get Knotted

"Mei's cooking skills have improved a lot recently."

On the rooftop at midday, as Seele savored a rice ball from Meiyi's food box, she couldn't help but smile and praise it.

Upon hearing this, Bronya and Xing, who were standing nearby, looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Since their first meeting on the rooftop, the group of girls have often gathered together to share lunch.

Of course, given Mei's terrifying cooking skills, most of the time they would share the food from their own bento boxes with each other.

Only Kiana, who has no sense of taste, and Seele, the little angel, would take food from Mei.

"Okay."

Mei slowly ate her lunch from her box, her expression remaining indifferent.

She is a heartless avenger and doesn't need this kind of childish friendship.

The only reason she tolerated these noisy people around her was because she couldn't find any other quiet place.

Well, yes, that's it.

It's definitely not that she was tired of eating alone and wanted to take advantage of the warmth from these kids.

"That's how it should be. Only when you eat delicious food every day will your stomach be happy."

Kiana picked up a rice ball from Mei's food box and said with a smile, instantly exuding her silly charm.

"I don't need that kind of thing."

Mei remained indifferent.

She doesn't need any of those emotions, like happiness or joy.

If that boy hadn't insisted on teaching her how to cook, she wouldn't have bothered with such a thing at all.

Even if her cooking skills are superb, will this help her defeat Walter?

Upon hearing this, Bronya's ears perked up slightly.

She has investigated the fact that Lei Dian Long Ma was imprisoned for fraud and understands that someone from the Anti-Entropy faction must have been behind it.

Even though the Far East is quite strong overall, this country does not have the authority to arrest an Entropy executor, not to mention that Raiden Ryoma has not made any moves since he was imprisoned.

As for the news that Thunder Dragon Horse is dead... this is a top secret that only circulates among the upper echelons of Anti-Entropy.

The power struggle among the entropy reversers has reached a point where bloodshed is inevitable, and if word gets out, it will only deal a fatal blow to the organization's cohesion.

A struggle that begins with bloodshed will inevitably end with bloodshed.

But if such a struggle were to take place, then anti-entropy would cease to exist.

After all, Anti-Entropy has always been just a loose alliance.

We're only fortunate to have Walter White as a buffer, sharing some of the blame; otherwise, Anti-Entropy would have dissipated long ago.

Although this mess would never have happened if it weren't for [Walter White].

No matter how much the higher-ups at Anti-Entropy try to cover it up, lies can only fool people for a while. There will always be some perceptive people who will notice the truth.

For example, Bronya at this moment.

Seeing Mei's seemingly utterly hopeless state, the girl began to doubt Raiden Ryoma's condition.

If this anti-entropy enforcer had truly been framed and imprisoned, Mei would never be in this state.

Based on Bronya's understanding of Raiden Mei's past, the other party should be in pain, afraid, terrified, and uneasy, but... should never be heartbroken.

No, that wasn't a look of utter despair, but rather the look of someone willing to give up everything for a certain goal.

Thunder Dragon Horse is in trouble.

Raiden Mei knows the truth.

Bronya easily drew these two conclusions.

Even so, she never found an opportunity to ask the other party.

Raiden Mei's daily routine is so regular that it's impossible to find any gaps in it.

Bronya wasn't as direct as some people; she hadn't yet decided what identity to use to contact the other party.

On the other side, Kiana, upon hearing Mei's self-deprecating words, quickly shook her head: "Mei-senpai, you can't say that! Everyone living in this world should be pursuing happiness."

Even a hero like her, who protects the city's peace in the darkness, still strives for happiness in her daily life.

As she thought about it, Kiana picked up a meatball from Seele's box, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Indeed, hot food brings more happiness.

"Ah……"

Mei merely sneered at the white-furred ball's statement.

She was willing to descend into endless hell and sacrifice all her happiness if she could obtain the power to kill that Walter.

Seeing the girl with long, straight black hair looking completely unconcerned, Kiana was about to say something more when her gaze fell upon something and her expression changed: "Snow? It's snowing!"

Kiana reached out her fingertips to catch the small ball of water falling from the sky, watching the tiny white crystal quickly melt into water droplets, leaving only a cool sensation. Her face was instantly filled with joy.

"Huh? It really is snowing."

She stopped eating, looked up at the white snow falling in the vast sky, and couldn't help but smile.

This was the first snow she had ever seen in Changkong City.

It's much smaller than Siberia.

The girl couldn't help but think to herself.

"The snow will get heavier at night."

Bronya added, as if she had seen through the girl's little thoughts.

She always keeps an eye on the weather forecast.

Paying attention to her surroundings is a habit she developed a long time ago.

"Tomorrow is Saturday, let's go out and have some fun together?"

Kiana suggested.

"Does Mei have any recommendations?"

"Seele asked."

Unlike the other newcomers, Mei grew up in Changkong City and was naturally more familiar with the city.

Even if it's a white fluffy dumpling, it's only been in Changkong City for a few months.

"Stay at home."

Mei poured cold water on him expressionlessly.

Ange instantly flew into a rage: "Raiden Mei! I, the great one..."

"Alright, stop arguing," Kiana quickly said, "I heard there's a really efficacious shrine nearby. Why don't we go there? We have exams next week anyway."

Only at times like these does the white-fuzzy dumpling become willing to believe in the existence of gods.

Bronya glanced at Seele, who looked worried, and nodded gently: "Bronya agrees."

Even with Shihen's help in organizing the notes, it won't be easy for Seele to catch up with the average level at Chiba Academy.

Moreover, the boy hadn't even finished writing all the lessons yet.

"You can call the captain."

Seele added.

"Oh yeah, I haven't seen Hen in a long time either. I was thinking of thanking him for the notes."

Kiana rubbed the back of her head and smiled brightly.

With the boy's meticulously prepared notes, plus the tutoring from Bronya and others, she is no longer the idiot she used to be.

At least, she can already understand some of the exercises.

Of course, understanding something is one thing, but being able to actually do it is another.

"mark?"

Mei heard a name that couldn't be ignored.

"It's a friend from another school of mine. You'll know when Mei-senpai meets her."

The white fluffy ball has a kind and honest smile.

"……it is good."

After thinking for a moment, Mei nodded gently, following her intuition.
