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

"no!"

Upon hearing this, Theresa's forehead immediately creased with annoyance.

To minimize disruption to the trainees' routines, she even moved up the fireworks display, which was supposed to start promptly at midnight. You think you can set off firecrackers?!

"I don't believe you! You're just trying to lie to me again so you can play by yourself!"

Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, looking absolutely certain.

"Do you think I'm an idiot like you?!"

Theresa couldn't help but clench her fist, her brows furrowed into a deep frown.

This silly niece should really be thrown away.

"what?"

Finally realizing the truth, Kiana's mouth gaped open into a big "O".

Raven: “…”

This girl doesn't seem very bright.

Or is it that this child simply likes this type?

Raven glanced at the boy, then stroked his chin thoughtfully.

But what's with this Raiden Mei?

She was right behind the boy while watching the fireworks, so of course she noticed their little actions.

Which one does this child actually like?

Raven's gaze lingered on the three of them, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

But no matter what, I will definitely make you happy!

The confusion in his eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by an unwavering determination in his gaze.

-------------------------------------

Later that evening, in Kiana's room.

"Okay, okay, Sister Natasha, you can turn around now."

Kiana's timid voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Raven changed from having its back to the girl and looked at the white-haired girl in front of it, who had changed into pajamas.

Yes, she looks much cuter than when she's dressed normally, especially after taking her braids off.

A hint of admiration flashed in Raven's eyes, and she nodded slightly, saying, "Isn't this adorable? Kiana should be more confident in herself."

"But I don't have a figure like Sister Natasha's..."

Looking at Raven's still impressive chest beneath his loose pajamas, Kiana's tone was clearly filled with resentment.

"It's okay, Hen won't mind."

The raven smiled and comforted him.

"He clearly knows how!"

Kiana pouted.

If Shihen really didn't care about his figure, then he wouldn't have cared so much about that Yulandel.

Kiana easily disregarded the explanations the boy had given her and became completely absorbed in her own world.

Seeing the girl's obviously jealous expression, Raven couldn't help but think to himself, "Just as I expected."

Although she doesn't seem very bright, Kiana still discovered the affair between Shihen and Raiden Mei, but on the surface she pretended not to notice.

What a wonderful girl she is!

For a moment, even the raven couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Kiana's forbearance.

"No, Hen is definitely not that kind of person." Raven said with a smile, suppressing her emotions a bit. "When we chat, he often mentions you."

Besides that, I've never heard him mention any other girls.

For the sake of the boy's future happiness, the mercenary did not hesitate to lie.

After all, it was precisely to resolve the potential problems between Kiana and Shihen that she shamelessly refused the guesthouse arranged by Theresa and chose to share a room with Kiana instead.

"Really, really?"

Kiana asked, somewhat incredulously, and immediately blushed.

Although she had a lot of close contact with the boy on a daily basis, and even often imagined various scenes in her mind, when they were truly able to confirm each other's feelings, Kiana was still no different from an ordinary girl.

"Of course."

Faced with the girl's question, Raven nodded without hesitation.

In order to be with Kiana, Kaslana, the boy even gave up the World Serpent mission!

If this isn't what you call liking someone, then what is?!

At least, Raven couldn't see any indication that Time Mark still intended to carry out the [Reverse Entropy Replacement] plan.

As for [Walter White], who has become the Lord of the World Serpent and the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance... that was clearly just a choice made by the boy under duress.

Even though Walter White has become the nominal supreme leader of the world, Raven understands that the one who truly controls everything behind the scenes is still Gray Serpent.

The one feared and dreaded by both Destiny and Anti-Entropy was ultimately nothing more than a pawn.

Raven didn't believe that Gray Snake didn't have a trump card to counterbalance the boy, since he dared to let the boy undergo the super-transformation surgery.

Even in terms of raw power, Shihen is indeed unmatched.

But if you want to truly control someone, power is never the most important factor.

For example, in Destiny, everyone knows that the S-class Valkyries are the organization's highest combat power, but the one who truly commands the entire organization is the Destiny Bishop.

"But that guy is not only much stronger than me, he also has a great physique..."

Kiana was almost overwhelmed by this sudden happiness, but she still relied on Durandal to maintain some of her clarity.

Even she had to admit that she didn't have much of an advantage compared to that strongest Valkyrie.

"But so what? He only loves you!"

The raven was quite direct.

At this moment, she was absolutely certain that if she didn't intervene, the boy and Kiana's relationship would definitely go astray.

Therefore, at least while the boy is still human, she must ensure his happiness.

For Kiana's sake, Shihen abandoned his mission, defied the will of the World Serpent, and even had to play the dual role of [Walter White] and himself.

The boy has already given so much, and Raven doesn't want him to back down or stop because of anything.

As for Raiden Mei... she's just another pawn.

"Hen... likes me?"

Upon receiving the definitive answer, Kiana felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and all reason vanished from her eyes.

"Yes, he told me that himself." Raven nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with determination. "So, you just need to do this... and that..."

As Raven spoke softly, his tone was incredibly calm, yet it carried an undeniable allure that Kiana could not resist in the slightest.

Chapter 266 That Night, Mei Achieved Victory

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door.

Helpless, Shihen got up from his desk and opened the door. A white furry ball slipped in with lightning speed.

"Kiana?" Shihen looked at the girl in her pajamas with her hair down, a look of doubt on his face. "What brings you here so late?"

Based on a normal sleep schedule, Kiana should already be asleep by now.

After all, even though today is Lunar New Year's Eve in the Chinese calendar, St. Freya still has to attend classes as usual tomorrow.

When she met the boy's questioning gaze, Kiana's eyes darted away for a moment, but she quickly met his gaze directly and said, "Sister Natasha is a little unavailable right now, so she asked me to stay here with you for a while."

As she spoke, the girl's lips curled into a silly smile, as if she had already foreseen the smooth occurrence of something in her mind.

To be honest, it's a bit silly.

Looking at the silly grin on the white fluffy ball's face, Shihen couldn't help but think to himself, but on the surface he still asked in a calm tone, "What did Sister Natasha do this time?"

His intuition told him that the raven was up to something again.

"Oh, that's a girl's secret." Kiana waved her hand, not answering the question, and glanced at the boy's desk. "It's so late, Hen, are you still studying?"

As she asked the question, Kiana's gaze swept over the books and notes spread out on the table, and she felt as if countless stars were surrounding her.

Even though she had passed St. Freya's Valkyrie level exam, she still couldn't understand what Shihen was doing at all, and she didn't even recognize the symbols on the book.

"Yes, it's the Lunar Ring Armor I mentioned to you before. There are still many problems to solve."

Shihen explained.

The true armoring of the Moon Throne system will not be achieved overnight.

In the original timeline, this system didn't appear until eleven years later.

Moreover, it was accomplished by top scientists like Einstein and Tesla.

Even if Shihen were a player who used cheats, it would still require a lot of time and effort to achieve this.

After all, the system doesn't offer any cheat codes.

Moreover, the information about the Moon Throne that Theresa gave him was incomplete and contained many problems.

At present, even Anti-Entropy itself hasn't made the real Moon Throne yet.

As for the version previously installed in Alahato, it could only be considered an experimental model, with pitifully low power output.

"Well……"

When the boy mentioned the Moon Ring Armor, Kiana was instantly dumbfounded.

Although the other party had said quite a bit before, if she could understand it, her academic grades wouldn't still be struggling to pass.

Knowing full well about the girl's situation, Shihen smiled and didn't expand on the topic.

Kiana, what do you think of tonight's banquet?

Sitting down in the chair in front of the desk, Shihen asked softly.

"It's delicious!" Kiana's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. "The fish and chicken is very fragrant, and the other dishes are also very tasty."

As she spoke, the girl unconsciously licked her lips, as if she was still reminiscing about the delicious food she had eaten that evening.

"It's taro chicken," Shihen corrected helplessly. "The essence of this event is being able to eat different regional delicacies like this."

Moreover, he specifically considered Kiana and the others' tastes when choosing who to exchange dishes with.

"Mmm!" Kiana nodded in agreement, then a hint of regret appeared on her face. "It's a pity there's not enough."

"I'll do it again when I have the chance in the future."

Shihen smiled and said.

The dishes at the banquet were all in normal portions, which were naturally a little insufficient for the white-haired dumpling.

So in the latter half of the banquet, the food in front of them was changed from the special version for the students to the regular version prepared by the cafeteria chefs.

Of course, the latter is just as good in terms of taste.

In terms of culinary skills alone, the chefs at St. Freya's canteen are no less skilled than the head chefs of those star-rated hotels.

"Hehe~" The slight regret immediately disappeared, and Kiana's face showed an incredibly bright smile, "I like Hen the most!"

Shihen simply chuckled softly at this.
