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

Looking out the warship's porthole at the distant battlefield, any executor with a brain could tell that this was no ordinary meeting of executors.

Two months after becoming the third leader of the alliance, the boy finally showed them the knife in his hand without any concealment!

"Perhaps in a minute, perhaps in ten minutes, the leader will arrive eventually."

For now, let's just relax and watch the exercise unfold.

Einstein glanced up at the executor who had spoken up to question him, and answered calmly, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She recognized him as a member of the conservative faction, and one who wielded considerable power.

But perhaps that's why the other side repeatedly obstructs the reform of the executor system promoted by the teenager.

After all, who would give up everything to become an ordinary worker when they are used to carving out their own territory?

Despite their differences in their strategies for combating the collapse, the conservative and radical factions are not so different when it comes to their own fundamental interests.

"Miss Peggy, do you think so too!?"

An executive from the radical faction also stood up and demanded an explanation.

Upon hearing this, most of the executors in the room focused their attention on the platinum blonde girl at the front conference table.

As the person who inherited the most from Cocolia, Peggy's power is second to none among all the Executors.

It could even be said that the reason the young man was able to secure his position as the third leader of the alliance was primarily due to Peggy's support.

However, if a systemic reform were to be implemented, and most of the power held by the executors were to be transferred to the Alliance, then Peggy would undoubtedly lose the most.

At least in theory, Peggy will no longer be a powerful minister who commands multiple Jaeger units, but will instead become a minor assistant to the leader.

The difference is so great that no one could possibly accept it.

"If anyone has any objections, you can raise them with the Alliance Leader in person when he arrives."

As she spoke in a calm tone, Peggy glanced at the forty-odd executives in the conference room and couldn't help but shake her head inwardly.

Even though times have changed long ago, some people are still unwilling to recognize the facts.

“Peggy, you…”

Seeing the girl's indifferent attitude, the radical faction's executor's face stiffened, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He had previously regarded Peggy as the hope of their radical faction and even all the executors, but now it seems that she had clearly been in cahoots with the boy and Einstein for a long time.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Believe me or not, I'll punch you into the sky!"

Seeing this, Tesla also stood up and swore, his face revealing an indescribable sense of refreshment.

Before Cocolia was around, she was always being attacked by a bunch of random guys. Now it's finally her turn to deal damage.

Thinking this way, she suddenly felt that Peggy was also gentle and lovely.

At first, she was worried that Peggy would oppose the reforms proposed by the boy and be unwilling to give up her power.

But no one knows what kind of spell the boy cast on her, because after only half a day of secret conversation in the office, Peggy stood firmly on their side.

Moreover, when she left the office, the girl looked radiant, and even the dark circles under her eyes had faded considerably, as if she had just had a wonderfully comfortable dream.

Sigh, if Cocolia had been half as aware as Peggy back then, their relationship wouldn't have become so strained.

Tesla couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when he thought of his former rival, whose ashes had not even been left behind.

Don't worry, Cocolia, you don't need to be concerned. We will help raise the children who remain in the orphanage.

With a silent sigh, Tesla then took a few bites of the small cake on the table to dispel the gloom in his heart.

"When the alliance was in crisis, it was we, the implementers, who supported Anti-Entropy through the difficulties."

Seeing the atmosphere in the meeting room growing increasingly tense, another executor stepped forward and said, "Now that the alliance is powerful, does that mean we can just use it as a pretext to eliminate them..."

"Mr. Chris, would you like me to tell you about the case of reselling goods last September?"

Peggy calmly interrupted.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the speaker immediately shut his mouth and obediently sat back down.

Noticing this minor incident, some of the executors became even more apprehensive.

Only then did they finally understand that this so-called reform of the executor system was not the product of a young man's impulsive decision, but a truly complex and meticulously calculated grand strategy.

Even the four Herrschers who are still locked in a fierce battle seem somewhat insignificant compared to the methods the boy still employs in the shadows.

"I reiterate once again, the Executive Meeting has already begun. Please stop any irrelevant discussions. If you have any questions, please wait until the Alliance Leader arrives."

Peggy's gaze swept across the faces of each executor, and she declared in a firm and powerful voice.

This time, as the girl finished speaking, there was no more noise in the conference room, except for the occasional roar of the Herrschers' battle, which made the conference room seem even more desolate.

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

Meanwhile, in the lounge at the other end of the airship.

"Hen, the meeting has been going on for half an hour already. Are you sure you don't want to go?"

Looking at the relaxed boy on the sofa, Wendy couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Let's put some more anxiety on those who are carrying it out, and things will be easier later on."

While observing the battlefield scene displayed on the screen, Shihen leisurely peeled an apple and handed a suitably sized piece to the girl.

"Thank you."

Sitting upright and serious, Wendy picked up an apple and put it in her mouth. A sweet and refreshing aroma immediately filled her heart, making her heart beat faster.

She could only half-understand the stuff about the anti-entropy system reform, but the fact that Kiana and Anna were seriously fighting while she was slacking off with the boy was really too much for her.

Looking at the boy's beautifully shaped face, Wendy subconsciously swallowed, feeling a surge of heat rising within her.

"Hmm... Kiana is still a bit clumsy with the transitions between different powers, Anna also needs more practice, Seele..."

Unaware of the girl's thoughts beside him, Shihen looked at the battlefield and quietly commented.

Although Herrschers are synonymous with power and terror, the skill ceiling and floor among Herrschers are also very wide.

A Herrscher who can truly master their own power is in no way inferior to the Fusion Warriors of the previous civilization in terms of strength.

Yes, this specifically refers to fusion warriors at the level of the Thirteen Heroes.

After all, compared to heretics like the Fusion Warriors, the Herrschers are the true darlings of Honkai, so naturally there would be no compromise on their strength.

Of course, overpowered characters like Kevin and Alicia are not included.

"..."

Listening to the boy's earnest analysis, and thinking about her own filthy thoughts, Wendy blushed and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Hen. If I could regain the power of the Herrscher of Wind like Mei, I wouldn't be in this situation where I can't do anything."

Even though her current strength is considered top-tier among A-rank Valkyries, Wendy couldn't help but feel ashamed when she saw the group of Herrschers surrounding the boy.

Nothing can be done...

Upon hearing this incredibly familiar statement, Shihen's brow twitched.

Looking closer, Shihen saw that Wendy wasn't clutching a coat and crying, so he relaxed his brow and gently comforted her, "It's okay, Wendy."

Even if you can't do it now, I believe you will definitely not lose to anyone in the future.

Because you're a genius that the headmaster has always recognized!

With a smile, Shihen spoke, his gentle eyes brimming with confidence.

He never doubted Wendy's talent.

Moreover, even if it's just because of the girl's words "I can't do anything," he would still capture Theresa to help Wendy return to the Herrscher realm.

This is his inescapable responsibility as a defender of world order.

"mark……"

Wendy felt a warmth in her heart as she sensed the power in the boy's eyes.

That's right, even if it's just to live up to the trust the boy placed in her, she had to do all of this!

"Of course, becoming stronger is something that can't be rushed. You should relax properly when you need to rest and not always keep yourself too tense."

"If you overwork yourself, the headmaster will be worried."

Smiling, Shihen cut another piece of apple and handed it to Wendy.

Unlike Yaya, who truly balances work and rest and even plays games with Seele in his spare time, Wendy seems to spend all her available time training, showing a strong tendency to become the Entropy King.

Unfortunately, Theresa has been quite busy lately, and he's been preoccupied with comforting Anna and helping her rekindle her love for the world, so Wendy has received far less attention.

"Yes, I will try my best to adjust it."

Wendy smoothed a few stray strands of hair from her temples, then gently lowered her head and took the apple from the boy's hand into her mouth.

Shi Hen: “…”

While it does feel nice to feed a cat treats, Wendy, aren't you being a little too practiced?

On the other side, Wendy, who finally realized what she had done, froze.

She had only thought about it in her mind, so why did her body start moving on its own?

"Um... this apple is quite delicious."

Unable to resist turning her head away, Wendy's cheeks instantly flushed red.

"Yes, it is quite sweet."

He nodded slightly, his tone still calm.

As the third leader of Anti-Entropy, he wouldn't lose his composure over something like this.

only……

Looking at the blush on the girl's face, Shihen inexplicably felt that the script was going off track.

Thinking that he would have to comfort Peggy when she returned from working overtime on Coral Island, Shihen quickly shook his head and denied it.

Illusion, this must be an illusion!

He's destined to become the world's ultimate boss, and he'll never be swayed by emotions!

"Hen, would you like to try this bunch of grapes?"

After a while, Wendy regained some composure and mustered her courage to ask, already offering a grape to the boy's lips.

"..."

Looking into the girl's bright, clear, and moist eyes, and then at the grapes that were now within arm's reach, Shihen felt that he seemed to have no other option.

With one bite, the perfect amount of sweetness bursts forth in your mouth.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Meeting the girl's expectant gaze, Shihen nodded and smiled, his eyes subtly sweeping over the slight dampness remaining on the girl's fingertips.

"That……"

Upon hearing this, as if opening the door to a new world, Wendy's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and she offered another grape to the boy.

"..."

Glancing at the fruit plate on the coffee table, Shihen suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he went to the Executive Meeting a little later.

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

After a long while, when Dang Hen finally stepped into the conference room, it was already an hour after the conference had started.

"Alliance Leader Time Trace!!"

Upon seeing the boy appear, one of the enforcers immediately stood up, his gaze filled with anger and resentment.

"Please speak in order if you have any questions. Don't make our anti-entropy executor conference look like a vegetable market."

Despite the terrifying, almost predatory gaze of the other party, Shi Hen walked calmly through the aisle to the front row before slowly sitting down in the seat reserved between Peggy and Einstein.

Peggy's gaze remained fixed on the boy; her nostrils twitched, and her brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.

She smelled a fresh scent that didn't belong to Kiana.

Unaware that someone had already activated target acquisition mode, Shihen smiled slightly at Peggy, Einstein, and the others, then turned off the Herrscher battle that was nearing its end on the screen.

His gaze slowly swept across the faces of the various executors, a playful smile playing on his lips.
