Chen Ran did not immediately investigate Cocolia but chose to first adapt to life in the Far East.
He was a teacher at Senba Academy and could not abandon this identity just yet; after all, he had no intelligence sources, so he had to seize the current identity.
Of course, the most important thing was that he needed an intelligence support personnel.
Without intelligence, acting blindly would be foolish.
Raiden Mei was quite critical of Chen Ran's actions.
She was anxious about Raiden Ryoma's situation; if it weren't for Chen Ran constantly reassuring her that nothing would happen, she would have probably rushed to ME Corp by now.
She endured for three days at Senba Academy.
Three days later, Chen Ran found Raiden Mei.
"Alright, I've requested intelligence support from headquarters. I need to pick someone up shortly; come with me."
He merely used 'Kiana might be in trouble' as an excuse, not expecting the headquarters' assistance to come so quickly.
Raiden Mei nodded expressionlessly.
During this time, she had endured quite a bit of cold remarks at Senba Academy, but that didn't matter.
As long as she could clear her father's name, it would all be worth it.
Chen Ran rented a car.
As an agent of Schicksal, he naturally had some activity funds.
Raiden Mei instinctively sat in the back seat, and Chen Ran did not stop her. He wasn't one to care about status, and since Raiden Mei was used to sitting in the back, so be it.
He introduced lightly, "The organization I belong to is called Schicksal, which has established corresponding agencies worldwide, while your father is in the opposing organization, Anti-Entropy. Of course, although they are opposing, both organizations share the same goal: to defeat Honkai..."
In the boy's voice, it seemed as if a magnificent and mysterious door opened before the girl.
At that moment, his communicator began to flash.
Chen Ran did not hesitate and chose to answer.
The virtual dialogue screen that appeared in the air revealed a hint of surprise in Mei's eyes, and the girl behind the screen happened to see Raiden Mei as well.
However, she merely smiled slightly, "So this is the Raiden Mei that Agent Chen mentioned, hello, I am Rita, the overall commander of this operation."
Raiden Mei's expression tightened, her intuition telling her that this woman was very dangerous.
Beside her, Chen Ran pretended to be flustered and said, "Miss Rita, I didn't expect you to personally issue the orders. May I ask what the higher-ups conveyed?"
"For this operation, please ensure that she also participates."
Rita directly issued the highest command.
Chen Ran's eyes revealed surprise, then he asked, "In that case, I can't guarantee that I can do it. To be honest, I can't even ensure her safety."
"Don't worry, she has the ability to protect herself."
The "she" that Rita referred to was naturally Kiana.
It was clear that Otto was not satisfied with the stagnation of the Sirin plan and intended to take it a step further.
Chen Ran hesitated a bit and asked, "Then may I ask what identity will be supporting this mission?"
Rita paused and said, "I have sent you the information."
Until the communicator hung up, Chen Ran subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Raiden Mei asked in confusion, "You seem quite scared."
"Not really," he said, "I'm just an ordinary worker. I tend to be afraid of anyone with a higher rank than me. It's the instinct of a corporate slave."
Raiden Mei frowned and continued to ask, "She looks quite young."
"Actually, she is quite young, but that doesn't stop me from feeling weak in her presence."
"Then, who is the person she referred to?"
"You'll find out."
Chen Ran said, "Let's go, we need to pick up the last person."
Since Rita emphasized that person.
Then, he could only bring Kiana along as well.
…
…
Meanwhile, at Senba Academy.
Kiana, who had been specifically named by Rita, was still fast asleep.
Both teachers and classmates shook their heads at the sight.
If it weren't for her being specially recruited, the teacher on stage would have scolded her directly. But he didn't have the heart to scold her now.
The largest shareholder of Senba Academy, Raiden Ryoma, had been taken away, and he was worried about whether next month's salary would be paid in full.
People are indeed very realistic creatures; the teacher looked at Kiana with a hint of envy in his eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh, "If only life could be as carefree as Kia-chan's, then there would be no worries at all."
And of course, Kiana did not hear this.
Not long after, the girl finally woke up, instinctively stretching her waist.
Then, she realized it was very quiet here.
Kiana tilted her head instinctively, surveying the entire classroom, and found that apart from one girl, everyone else was gone.
"Um..."
The girl timidly said, "Kiana, everyone went to gym class."
"Gym class, oh."
Kiana instinctively stood up and then looked at the girl: "By the way, Yuna, why aren't you in class? Did someone bully you again?"
Yuna shook her head and then said with admiration, "No, ever since Kia-chan helped me that time, no one has bullied me anymore."
Little stars of admiration shone in her eyes.
"That's good." Kiana breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's go too."
