Clone?
Ai-chan's words only made Bianka turn her head in a daze, but Kiana felt a white bolt of lightning flash through her genius brain.
That's right! Wasn't she, in the original story, a clone created from the genes of Sirin and her sister, the "real Kiana"?
And in the original story, wasn't she and the "real Kiana," who was Bianka, sisters later on? Even Sirin could be her older sister. It was just a matter of genes, and it wouldn't affect their feelings at all!
As soon as this thought came to her, Kiana felt the world light up. All the doubts and resentments that had been weighing on her heart were smoothed out at this moment.
"So that's how it is. Then there's no problem at all!" Kiana said with a laugh, her hands on her hips. She patted Bianka on the shoulder. "It's just that they used a little of my genes. It's nothing. Just treat me to a big meal and we'll be even!"
Was that even possible?
To Kiana's intention of settling this "mother-daughter relationship" with a meal, Bianka was not surprised at all. Instead, she looked as if she had been "taught a lesson."
Then should she also treat Captain Shu to a big meal? But what did Captain Shu like to eat? She still had no idea!
Kiana... she should know what Senior Shu likes to eat, right?
But it seemed that things couldn't be resolved so simply and casually...
"But if Lady Bianka's birth process was through a genetic engineering process like 'cloning,' then what's with Lord Shu's normal data!!
"All the data should be abnormal. Why is there a normal data point like Lord Shu's?"
As the saying goes, when everything is abnormal, the only normal thing is the abnormal one. As a being born from a special genetic engineering process, all the data in Bianka's paternity test should have been abnormal.
But Shu's test results were so normal that it was absurd.
Bianka gasped again. The cold fusion was about to turn into hot fusion.
Kiana digested Ai-chan's crying words for a moment, then felt her teeth ache even more. "Ai-chan, do you mean to say..."
"No matter what, this result shows that Lord Shu is Lady Bianka's 'biological father' in every sense of the word!!"

"Wow, and a pre-marital pregnancy too," in the villa next to Shu's, Mei's small but very warm and tidy bedroom was already crowded with people.
After listening to Kiana's statement, delivered with a "don't be scared when I tell you this" expression, Bronya was stunned for a long time. It was Sin Mal who, with a teasing expression, said what Bronya "might" have been about to say.
Perhaps not "might"?
"You guys are really playing a wild game..." Sin Mal raised an eyebrow at Kiana, then was held by Seele and Bronya on either side and had her mouth covered.
"Sin, don't say that."
"Shut up."
"Mei! I swear to you! I've absolutely never done anything to wrong you!" Kiana said excitedly, raising three fingers, ready to perform a show of loyalty for Mei on the spot. "Uh... Shu definitely hasn't either!"
"Miss Kiana, your explanation will only make things more complicated," Fréllei sighed lightly, then waved her hand and a virtual light screen appeared.
"I have already sorted out all the information Miss Kiana has said. Since I am not good at hard data processing, please help me revise it, Miss Bronya."
On the light screen Fréllei shared was the "full picture" of the incident that she had sorted out. Logical reasoning, this was what Fréllei was good at.
Several heads huddled together, each one carefully reading the information Fréllei had sorted out.
"What are these blank spaces?" Sirin touched her chin, then asked Fréllei curiously. Kiana popped out from the side and said, "If there are any words you don't know how to write, you can ask me."
"Hmm... Fréllei left these blank because there are still questions that can't be confirmed," Bronya said, staring at the few questions that Fréllei had specially marked. Although the questions were all very simple, each one was very important.
"Many of the questions are about genetic engineering... I'm not very good at this kind of problem either. Perhaps..." Bronya felt a little dizzy just by looking at it. Her knowledge of biology was limited to the basics, and at most, she knew a little about super genes.
As for the question of "can a mature clone accept a second-stage new gene fusion without changing the original genome," she saw black.
Sirin suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She looked up and saw that everyone was staring at her, as if they were looking at someone from a big city.
"What are you all looking at me for?!" Sirin's eyes widened. "This has nothing to do with me this time!"
Sin Mal's eyebrow twitched. "What 'this time'? So last time it was you? What happened last time?"
Bronya and Seele once again sandwiched Sin Mal from both sides, sealing her again.
Except for Fréllei, everyone in the room looked embarrassed.
Everyone had seen the "original story," and Seele and Sirin had also indirectly seen those scenes through the Akashic Chronicle. Naturally, they understood what Sirin was talking about.
In everyone's discussion, Shu's current position was Sirin's in the original story, and with Kiana... in the original story, it was Bianka. It should have been their genes.
But now, Sirin had gotten out, and a more troublesome Shu had come in.
Bianka huddled in a corner, trying to curl herself into a small ball to reduce her presence, but it was useless.
How strange, what's going on?
Why were there so many important people here? Why were so many seniors gathered here because of her problem? Was this Senior Kiana's charisma?
Or was Senior Shu's problem really so important that so many people had to discuss it together?
But... didn't Overseer Otto need to participate?
And most importantly...
Why did almost everyone here seem to know her?!! And they all seemed to be very familiar with her?!
Had she done something rarely seen and embarrassing that had become a topic of discussion and eventually reached the ears of these important people? Was it that everyone had once been tasked with capturing her because she had become a MANTIS and then defected from Fire Moth?!
Was it that the news of her breaking Senior Kiana and Senior Kallen's "Fire Moth's Biggest Eater" record had reached these people's ears?!!
Ahhhhhh—why does everyone know me ahhhhhh!!
