Luo Lin was dragged to the bar in a daze, and under Charlotte's persuasion, she tried to drink a bit - really just a little bit, as she only managed to gulp down a glass of whiskey - and soon the girl was completely drunk.
Fortunately, Luo Lin didn't do anything too outrageous while intoxicated. She simply held onto Charlotte, lamenting how ineffective her handgun was and expressing her desire to arm herself to the teeth with various equipment.
Charlotte comforted her while marveling at how she was not only a workaholic but also had a fear of inadequate firepower.
Drunk Luo Lin frequently changed topics erratically, mentioning the agility of the Aesir Mech several times in a tone of grievance, as if someone had been chasing her with the machine for hundreds of kilometers.
Then the girl, gritting her teeth, praised the Aesir Mech ammunition capacity, while expressing concern about its self-destruction device: "That thing doesn't explode until it does, then it's a big mess, even allies will get blown up. We should give its meltdown reactor some insurance!"
Charlotte knew she should just go along with Luo Lin, so she echoed, "Yes, exactly, that's what should be done!"
"And that AE Entropy Titan, it's a real piece of work too!" Luo Lin muttered, somewhat confused, with tears welling up in her eyes, "Oh, Anti Entropy seems to be our enemy, so let's blow them up!"
Charlotte didn't catch these murmurs clearly amidst the noisy bar, only catching the key words "a real piece of work" and "let's blow them up," leaving her both amused and exasperated.
Luo Lin really had a lot of opinions about the Aesir Mechs!
The girl was completely wasted, but a few seconds later, she suddenly sat up straight and gestured thumbs-up to Charlotte: "Well, uh, I'll go to the Abyss first, let's chat tomorrow."
With that, she slumped back onto the table in the bar.
"Really..." Charlotte regretted bringing Luo Lin to the bar, "but it's also good to let off some steam... Let's get someone to help us send this good kid who's drunk for the first time back home... uh, forget it, I don't even know where she lives, let's just send her to the hotel next to the training ground."
After watching for a while, several Valkyries happily put down their phones recording the scene, and with some effort, they stuffed Luo Lin into a car and sent her to the hotel, where they used Luo Lin's own ID card to book a room, and after tidying up a bit, they tucked her into bed.
Luo Lin looked peaceful throughout the process, leaving everyone amazed.
When everyone left, Luo Lin quietly opened her eyes, clearly awake now, but her neck and above were burning red with embarrassment.
"What have I done..."
---
The final work on the acceptance of the industrial area research institute on the outskirts of Kolostein went quite smoothly, not only because of Luo Lin and Charlotte's high efficiency but also because the Overseer of Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse, had specifically instructed to get the institute repaired quickly.
"Huh, the progress is much faster than I imagined."
The blond Overseer raised an eyebrow, but he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, there were many more important things waiting for him to deal with. Like the report in his hand, which had a much higher priority than completing the repairs of the institute.
[Two months ago, there was a fierce conflict between the radical and moderate factions of the Anti Entropy, with the representative of the radical faction, Cocolia, subsequently leaving North America for an unknown destination...]
[The intelligence department has tracked signs of Anti Entropy spies operating in the border areas of Finland, Belarus, and Russia, with a large range of activities, and it is currently unclear what layout they are undertaking... Here is the collected relevant evidence...]
Some of the top-secret intelligence, even Schicksal's own intelligence department was not clear about it, without the relevant clues, the intelligence department couldn't make head or tail of the Entropy's espionage activities in this area, but Otto knew what they were looking for.
"Siegfried Kaslana, K423..."
Otto calmly put down these two reports and looked out of the window at the clear sky.
If it weren't for Anti Entropy sharing intelligence with Siegfried, he wouldn't have known about their plan; if it weren't for Anti Entropy providing support behind the scenes, Siegfried wouldn't have dared to attack the research base next to Schicksal Headquarters so boldly... Unfortunately, Siegfried's good luck ends here.
The support from Anti Entropy did not arrive in time, causing the exposed Siegfried to resort to using force. Faced with the Valkyries blocking his way, Siegfried wouldn't and couldn't kill them. Coupled with him bringing K423 and Kiana Kaslana, the evacuation turned into a disaster.
During this period, Theresa's little actions to cover for Siegfried and delay didn't help much, but instead got her into trouble.
Schicksal forces pursued Siegfried's fleeing stealth aircraft in the air, and Kiana Kaslana was hit in the head by debris from the aircraft at several thousand meters altitude, falling into the depths of the snowy mountains in a freefall...
When search personnel found the girl, she was barely alive, but still stubbornly clinging to life - just barely alive. At that time, all of Schicksal's doctors were at a loss, not believing that she could hold on.
Fortunately, Otto had a way, although it was quite risky. He took over the treatment of Kiana Kaslana and spent a long time stabilizing her condition.
As for the aftereffects... they were much better than Otto had anticipated. Apart from amnesia and her hair turning blond, Kiana's body had been strengthened like never before.
No, she should be called Bianka Ataegina now.
Some people say that the fate of the Kaslana family is to eradicate all the evil in the world.
But Otto didn't believe in fate, he hadn't believed in it for a long time. In fact, everything he had done over the past few centuries had been to uphold this principle.
"Bianka, you will move towards the future with your own will..."
Not the bullshit destiny of the Kaslana family!
"Knock, knock, knock."
The knocking sound, like a reminder, interrupted Otto's contemplation. Schicksal's loyal secretary Miss Amber walked in.
"My Lord Bishop, Captain Ragnar of the Valkyrie Assault Team sent a communication, requesting to perform voluntary labor and also took this year's annual leave to rest..."
"Rest, huh..."
Otto looked at the photo of Bianka in his hand, the blond little girl looking somewhat bewildered standing there alone, her slender figure looking especially lonely.
"Let Ragnar go to France, and also let her take care of our Miss Bianka."
"Yes." Amber nodded, then handed over a stack of documents, "These were submitted by the three major families of Schicksal, about Theresa establishing Saint Freya Academy in the Far East Branch..."
"Oh? They dare to have opinions?"
"Well, not really." Amber looked at Otto's eager expression, feeling helpless. Who didn't know that Schicksal was now a one-man show under the leadership of Overseer Otto Apocalypse, "They just want to have a share of the Academy's profits upon inception, requesting some equipment to be purchased from their subsidiaries..."
"Boring, I thought they would seize the opportunity to criticize me for Theresa's meddling in Siegfried's rebellion."
Otto waved his hand disinterestedly, making a judgment, "Let them handle these trivial matters, but tell them not to mess with Saint Freya Academy..."
After all, Theresa's full name is Theresa Apocalypse...
