A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

After hearing Gray Serpent's report, Kevin nodded slightly and then spoke to the three of them.

"You've done a great job. Also, Gray Serpent, how's the plan progressing?"

"The intelligence and funding are in place, but the jackal experiments are still a little lacking. If everything goes smoothly..."

At this point, Gray Snake paused for a second before continuing.

"We should be able to carry out the Stigmata Project in about a year."

"Really? Then let's proceed at this pace."

Although Kevin couldn't wait to get the Stigmata Project started, he forced himself to stay calm after hearing the timeline.

He has waited for fifty thousand years; in those years, he has waited long enough.

Humanity has only one chance to snatch victory from the Honkai, and Kevin certainly wouldn't urge Jackal to force the plan to begin just because of his own impatience.

"Thank you for your understanding."

After hearing Kevin's instructions, the jackal breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the experiment still needs to be accelerated a little. After all, according to Gray Serpent, Destiny has been investigating us very strictly recently."

The Jackal thought that Otto was a truly outrageous guy after the World Serpent conglomerate was wiped out and the losses amounted to tens of billions of euros.

They didn't even curse after losing their second Divine Key, but Otto, the guy who got the second Divine Key by chance, actually turned around and tried to wipe out their World Serpent.

That old guy is dishonest.

"Furthermore, Your Excellency."

At that moment, Gray Serpent presented Kevin with the Heavenly Fire Judgment that he had prepared beforehand, and respectfully handed over the greatsword in his hand, which had lost its luster.

“I happened to find a weapon a few days ago—and this weapon is just right for you to wield.”

"Heavenly Fire Judgment... Ha, this was originally mine."

After gently waving his greatsword, Kevin's expression softened.

Back when Mei was still alive... I wielded the Heavenly Fire Judgment in this way, fighting to protect her.

"Welcome back, old friend. Let's fight together again starting today."

After muttering those words to himself, Kevin looked at the gray snake.

"Where was the original owner of this weapon?"

"We know he is your honored guest, so we asked him to stay at the World Serpent branch base to recuperate."

At that moment, the raven suddenly felt that a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one.

Some things, if they need to be said, can never be avoided.

"By the way, how many Divine Keys do we have now?"

That's it, the Lord has secured the initiative.

"My lord, I have bad news to tell you."

Before the jackal could speak, the raven, covered in cold sweat, said...

"In the previous battle, our second Divine Key was taken away by Destiny."

"As for the third divine key I used, it disappeared after I was ambushed by a powerful enemy."

"So, our World Serpent only has one Divine Key left: the Judgment of Heavenly Fire?"

Seeing the unnatural expressions on the three people's faces, Kevin said indifferently.

"It's alright. Without the beacon I gave you, the Second Divine Key cannot be used."

"The Third Divine Key only has one bullet in the short term, so it is unlikely to pose a threat to me."

"The Divine Key is lost, so be it. We'll find it again sometime."

At this point, Kevin suddenly remembered the boy he had met in the Sea of ​​Quanta.

"Instead of the Key of God, there is someone I want you to investigate."

and many more……

He wouldn't say...

Is that guy?

Even though Kevin didn't say anything, at that moment, the three top executives of World Serpent all thought of a young man.

"Near the Sea of ​​Quanta, I met a young hero. He was able to fight against the Herrschers with his Stigmata, and even defeat the Herrschers on his own."

"Grey Snake—do everything in your power to investigate that man named Gu Yu. Find out all the information about him."

"This young man is powerful and has a good character. In my opinion, he is the kind of talent our world snake needs."

"Now that Destiny is so eager to attack us, if we could have such a powerful individual combat force to support us, we could probably save a lot of manpower."

Upon hearing Kevin's words, all three of them simultaneously let out a wail of despair.

Oh no, this is terrible! Of all people to choose from, why did the Lord have to fall for Gu Yu?

That kid... I rejected that kid, what am I going to do now?

Oh no, even the Lord has his eye on you.

Kid, good luck to you. There's nothing I can do to help you now.

PS1: Second update

Chapter 343. My Lord, He's Submitted His Resume

Gray Snake remained expressionless, and Jackal wore a mask; Kevin naturally couldn't see their true expressions beneath those masks.

But Raven was different from the other two—she wasn't wearing any kind of mask to conceal her thoughts; her innermost thoughts were written all over her face.

Kevin isn't stupid. In fact, Kevin, who can discuss the pros and cons of the Divine Sound System with Dr. Mei and prepare for the Stigmata Project, is actually quite intelligent.

The moment Raven's face hardened with bitterness, he knew that his three men were hiding something from him.

"What exactly is going on—just tell me, Gray Serpent."

"Yes, Your Majesty. In fact, Mr. Gu Yu had already communicated with us before. About a year ago, he even took the initiative to apply to join our World Serpent."

"To put it simply, Your Excellency, he has submitted his resume."

"Oh, that's a good thing."

Kevin raised an eyebrow at Gray Snake's words.

Since they only communicated and didn't join, it means that Gu Yu is not currently a member of World Serpent.

"Then why didn't he join the World Serpent after that?"

It’s over.

Although Jackal knew this would happen as soon as he heard Kevin mention Gu Yu's name.

But when she heard Kevin say those words, her expression instantly crumbled.

"It's very simple, Your Majesty."

Hearing Kevin's question, Raven said indifferently.

"After I gave Gu Yu's information to Jackal, she immediately rejected Gu Yu's application to join World Serpent."

"As for the reason... well, she thinks I'm using my public office to benefit myself, that's all."

"You're making baseless accusations!" the jackal wanted to say, but the raven's words were hardly flawed.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Raven didn't embellish the story with personal feelings; he simply stated the facts, which was already quite considerate of the jackal.

But rational as he may be, Jackal has never been a rational person since birth.

Upon noticing the subtle change in Kevin's expression, Jackal immediately offered a hasty explanation.

"My lord! I am innocent!"

"The information Raven gave me at that time did not show that Gu Yu could use Honkai energy to shape these armors!"

"I suspect she wasn't telling the truth when she submitted the documents!"

???

Raven, who originally didn't want to dwell on these old grievances in front of Lord Kevin, was completely dumbfounded when he heard Jackal's words.

Wow, seriously? This can open my car?

How thick-skinned is this person? Did Gray Snake change her skin texture when she modified her?

"You didn't even read the materials I gave you properly! You just glanced at them and rejected that kid's application, and now you're trying to shift the blame to me?"

"Jackal, have some decency!"

"You two, that's enough!"

Seeing that his two teammates were starting to argue like elementary school kids again, Gray Snake suddenly raised his voice and coldly rebuked them.

"With the Lord before us, what kind of behavior is this, the two of you!"

Both the jackal and the raven calmed down a little after hearing the gray snake's rebuke.

It's understandable to be angry, but we're all adults. We can't act like elementary school kids and start fighting at the drop of a hat every day.

If the Lord saw their previous disgraceful behavior, he might directly replace the World Serpent's leadership.

"Raven, judging from your tone, you seem to know Gu Yu quite well?"

Ignoring the argument between the raven and the jackal, Kevin looked at the raven indifferently.

Are you confident you can bring him in?

"My lord, to be honest... it's not easy."

Ever since Gu Yu uttered those words during her confrontation with Gray Serpent in Fog City, Raven suddenly realized that her little brother's thoughts seemed to be somewhat different from hers.
