Chapter 862

Tony Stark's mood was also complex.

But considering this battle would likely be large-scale, he didn't plan to bring only one suit—he prepared to bring massive amounts of armor! As for where to store the armor, just put it in the system warehouse.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Then, let's depart in half an hour."

Shi Qi Kuang San: "No problem. Indeed... such a generous president is equally lovable to the bone."

Luo Hao Sect Master: "......"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "......"

Wugeng Liuli stated that she thought she had long grown accustomed to Shi Qi Kuang San's demeanor.

But upon actually witnessing the interaction between Shi Qi Kuang San and Su Han, she still felt uneasy.

Especially when she thought of Su Han and Shi Qi Kuang San traveling together to another world, her worries deepened.

Su Han's eyebrows twitched several times, keenly sensing something amiss.

After a moment of thought, he wisely exited the guild chat room.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, swept his Kenbunshoku Haki, and sensed that Ram and Chitoge had returned.

After thinking it over, Su Han immediately opened the door and told Ram he wouldn't be eating at home.

Ram, though slightly disappointed, was understanding and said nothing more; she nodded, signaling she understood.

After settling matters with Ram, Su Han returned to the room and adjusted his state.

Once he confirmed his condition had reached peak perfection, Su Han without hesitation clicked to accept the quest.

The next instant, brilliant light enveloped Su Han, and he vanished.

...... World.

Xiao Zhizhi Shu stepped out of the classroom, her face tinged with complexity, her steps slightly hurried.

Although she encountered many classmates along the way.

But she would at most merely nod to these... classmates, and say nothing more.

Eventually, Xiao Zhizhi Shu arrived at a specially designated cafeteria inside the academy.

"Wow! My adorable little sister, you've finally come.

I've been waiting for you a long time!"

Xiao Zhizhi Shu slowly ate her dessert, a blissful smile on her face; she turned her head and saw Xiao Zhizhi Shu, her eyes lighting up instantly.

"Hurry over! Shu! I ordered two portions of dessert."

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Zhizhi Shu paid no attention to Xiao Zhizhi Shu's words; she walked up, face grim, placed both palms on the table, and glared fiercely at her sister.

"Of course I'm worried about my little sister!"

Xiao Zhizhi Shu wore an embarrassed smile, poking her own cheek.

Deliberately acting cute.

Although Xiao Zhizhi Shu was furious, she clenched her teeth and ultimately chose to sit across from Xiao Zhizhi Shu.

But she did not eat the dessert Xiao Zhizhi Shu had prepared for her.

Xiao Zhizhi Shu's feelings toward... Xiao Zhizhi Shu were very...

She did not despise her sister.

But she certainly couldn't say she loved her.

Or rather, she harbored deep emotional wounds toward her sister.

The main reason was that after Xiao Zhizhi Shu developed the mecha, due to its excessive power,

Xiao Zhizhi Shu had to move with Xiao Zhizhi Shu from childhood; eventually, Xiao Zhizhi Shu simply vanished without a trace.

Because Xiao Zhizhi Shu was Xiao Zhizhi Shu's younger sister, she endured far too much...

These experiences made it nearly impossible for Xiao Zhizhi Shu to feel any fondness for her... irresponsible sister.

"By the way, Shu, are you interested in acquiring a brand-new mecha?"

Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Zhizhi Shu seemingly offhandedly remarked, "The most advanced in the world right now—fifth generation."

Xiao Zhizhi Shu's pupils contracted sharply; she fell silent.

Currently, the most advanced mecha of all nations were merely third generation.

Yet here before her stood her sister, who had already developed fifth-generation mecha.

Although her feelings toward Xiao Zhizhi Shu were extremely complex, Xiao Zhizhi Shu deeply trusted Xiao Zhizhi Shu.

Precisely because of this, she was utterly torn.

Xiao Zhizhi Shu suddenly sensed something; her smile faltered slightly, then she set down her dessert and turned to the side, "Alright, little Shu, let's talk later."

Orihime Chifuyu appeared beside them without warning, arms crossed, face serious, staring at Xiao Zhizhi Shu.

"Shu, you should know what it means for you to be here. Don't forget—this is the academy! Government agents are everywhere.

Your whereabouts have surely been fully exposed."

Zhi Ban Qian Dong spoke slowly, truly unable to comprehend Xiao Zhizhi Shu's thinking; when she first noticed Xiao Zhizhi Shu seemed off, she had merely followed behind, thinking to look after her friend's younger sister.

She never imagined Xiao Zhizhi Shu had come to meet Xiao Zhizhi Shu.

Xiao Zhizhi Shu had been slightly serious, but after hearing this, her expression relaxed and she laughed, waving her hand casually.

"So it's just this? I thought it was something major! I'd already prepared to take action against you, Qian Dong.

Don't scare me like that."

"I'm not joking with you!"

Zhi Ban Qian Dong's eyebrows twitched several times; she stepped to the table, slammed her palm down, and glared fiercely at Xiao Zhizhi Shu.

"I'm not joking with you either."

Xiao Zhizhi Shu sat on the chair, shrugged, and paid no attention. "I've never taken the state's surveillance seriously!"

"Besides... Japan probably has no intention of coming after me now."

Orihara Chiharu and Xiao Zhizhi Hō both stiffened, furrowed their brows, and failed to understand what Xiao Zhizhi Shu meant.

Xiao Zhizhi Shu, the creator of mechs, is the only person in the world today capable of manufacturing the Core.

Her value is beyond imagination.

Without exaggeration, major powers around the world would be willing to wage war over Xiao Zhizhi Shu.

Just as Orihara Chiharu was about to ask, a shrill alarm suddenly blared.

"Alarm! Alarm! An intruder has appeared in the northwest sea region of the academy! A large-scale intrusion! All mech pilots, prepare for combat!"

"Prepare to repel the enemy!"

Orihara Chiharu's pupils shrank sharply; she recalled Xiao Zhizhi Shu's words and stared at her... friend in shock.

"... This is another thing you've pulled off."

Xiao Zhizhi Shu's lips twitched several times; a look of helplessness surfaced on her face. She grabbed her ears and rubbed them hard, growing frantic.

"Why do you and those others always assume it's me the moment something happens?! I didn't do anything at all!"

Or rather—I was trying to save the world!"

As Xiao Zhizhi Shu sighed deeply, Su Han's calm yet weary voice suddenly spoke up.

"It's because your past reputation has always been utterly unreliable. By the way, how many times have you concocted your own dramas? If you want others to trust you, at least raise your credibility, Miss Shu."
