While they were all at the training ground, Ms. Theresa stood by the window of her office.
After a while, she turned around and took out a special terminal.
With a sigh, Theresa dialed the number on it.
"Ms. Theresa, is there something you need?" Dr. Einstein's calm projection appeared on the terminal.
"I want to know where Mr. Siegfried is right now; I need to speak with him," Theresa asked after sighing.
"Mr. Siegfried is at the Anti-Entropy headquarters in North America. Would you like me to connect you?" Einstein said calmly.
"Please connect me."
Soon, Einstein's projection disappeared, and Siegfried's projection appeared before Theresa.
"Oh, little Theresa, what's so important that you have to contact me personally?" Siegfried's unreliable voice came through as soon as his projection appeared.
"It's about Kiana."
Hearing Kiana's name, Siegfried's expression immediately became serious. "Theresa, has something happened to Kiana?"
"No, it's just..." Theresa frowned, wondering how to tell Siegfried.
"Never mind, let's talk about another issue first. Siegfried, after all this time, why didn't you tell me that the current Kiana is the person you and Kiana rescued from Grandpa's laboratory back then?"
Theresa stared at Siegfried and asked.
"How did you know?" Siegfried's expression stiffened for a moment.
"The 'Kiana' told me."
"Kiana told you? No, she shouldn't have that memory." The projected Siegfried walked to one side and finally sat down somewhere.
"It should be said, another Kiana."
"Wait, the other personality inside Kiana told you?! Are you two unharmed?!" Siegfried's tone became a little agitated.
"Are you referring to Sirin? It wasn't her either," Theresa shook her head.
Looking at Siegfried, who was frowning in thought, Theresa sighed and said, "Durandal told me."
"Durandal? The strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal? How did she know? Did Otto tell her?"
"Haven't you ever considered Durandal's identity? I just said that another 'Kiana' told me," Theresa sighed.
"Durandal is Kiana, she is your and Cecilia's daughter."
"Durandal is Kiana? Theresa, are you joking? I've seen Durandal's photos; she has blonde hair. Both Cecilia and I have white hair," Siegfried shook his head.
He still thought Theresa was joking.
"Siegfried, I'm serious. Durandal is your daughter, Kiana," Theresa said with a very serious tone.
...
Siegfried looked at the serious Theresa and confirmed that she wasn't joking. What Theresa said might be true.
What did that make him, who had abandoned Kiana and given her name to another person?
"Siegfried, regarding Durandal's identity, the information I saw was obtained by Durandal from my grandfather."
"Isn't it possible that Otto gave her false information?" Siegfried asked with a frown.
Theresa shook her head, "My grandfather, he wouldn't give false information on something like this."
"Furthermore, based on the information, I also conducted tests on both Durandal and Kiana here."
"Durandal is indeed from the Kaslana Family, and she is indeed your daughter."
"Bang!"
A sound of something hitting a wall came from the terminal.
"Durandal... and Kiana..."
"They are both fine. Durandal treats Kiana as her younger sister, and she doesn't care about the name issue," Theresa directly said words that would reassure Siegfried.
"Is that so? Then I really am a failure," Siegfried said with a bitter smile.
"By the way, Siegfried, Kiana has been promoted to A-Rank. My agreement with her was to tell her about your whereabouts once she reached A-Rank."
"My whereabouts, huh? Wait, let me think," Siegfried stroked his chin.
After a while, he said, "Speaking of which, little Theresa, aren't you afraid of Otto finding out if you contact Anti-Entropy and me like this?"
"Hmph, my grandfather won't care about these things."
"It seems Otto really spoils you," Siegfried exclaimed. "Anti-Entropy has a big operation coming up recently. I'll talk to Einstein about it, and I'll participate then."
"Anti-Entropy has a big operation? How do you know about something like this?"
"Because Anti-Entropy's leader, Welt, has gone missing."
"Missing? The First Herrscher can go missing? Are you sure it's not false information they released?" Theresa asked with a frown.
"Although I can't confirm this information, currently, Anti-Entropy's conservative and radical factions are indeed in chaos, so I'm inclined to believe Welt truly went missing."
"So what? Get to the point."
At this moment, Einstein's figure appeared on the communication. "Mr. Siegfried is not wrong. Our Lord Leader has indeed gone missing."
"You've been here all along, Dr. Einstein," Theresa was not surprised by Einstein's appearance at all.
"Yes, Mr. Siegfried knows many Anti-Entropy secrets, and these secrets cannot be casually leaked," Einstein directly stated the reason for her presence in the communication.
"The situation regarding our Lord Leader is not very optimistic right now."
"So, is this something you can tell me?" Theresa said irritably.
"Regarding this matter, I hope to receive assistance from Ms. Theresa's Far East Branch."
"At the same time, I will also arrange for Mr. Siegfried to participate in this mission," Einstein said directly.
"Hey, hey, even if you don't arrange it for me, I can go by myself, okay?" Siegfried pouted.
"However, Mr. Siegfried does not know the location, and you cannot reach it by your own power alone."
"So, Ms. Theresa, what do you think?" After refuting Siegfried, Einstein continued to speak to Theresa.
"Theresa, it's better to stay out of this. I'll go," Siegfried waved his hand, attracting Theresa's attention.
"That blue-haired doctor, Einstein, just tell me where Welt went missing and what kind of enemy he faced. I'll go rescue him."
"Mr. Siegfried, with your strength alone, you cannot rescue Lord Leader," Einstein shook her head.
"That enemy, Lord Leader can only barely trap him, and even then, that enemy is in a weakened state."
"Who is it? Is he really as strong as you say? Even if the enemy is strong, at worst, I'll sacrifice this remaining arm."
After thinking for a while, Theresa still agreed to Einstein's invitation. "I agree to provide support, but you must give me all the information you have."
"Alright, Ms. Theresa, all the information Anti-Entropy knows will be sent to this terminal shortly." With that, Einstein's projection disappeared again.
"Theresa, how could you just agree like that?" Siegfried asked with a frown.
"What, you think you can stop me from making my own decisions? Besides, it's a good opportunity to take Kiana to see you."
"That blue-haired doctor said the enemy is very dangerous, you still..."
"It's precisely because it's dangerous that I have to go. Otherwise, if it's just you alone, what if Kiana and the others lose their father?" Theresa directly interrupted Siegfried.
"Alright, I've already agreed. Besides, apart from me, the Far East Branch also has two S-Rank Valkyries, what's there to be afraid of?"
After that, Theresa and Siegfried discussed some other matters before ending the communication.
Looking at the data that had already been sent to the terminal some time ago.
Theresa clicked on it and frowned as she looked at the location. "Haiyuan City?"
"There's still some time?" Theresa muttered, looking at the time on the data.
After reading through the entire data, Theresa sat quietly at her desk.
She was now pondering whether this choice was truly the right one.
Sea of Quanta, Sea of Quanta.
These were all new terms Theresa was encountering for the first time.
And the First Herrscher was even trapped within the Sea of Quanta.
