On a quiet weekend at St. Freya, the door to the captain's office was gently pushed open.
Mo Wang cautiously poked his head out.
His heart was racing, and his eyes darted around, making sure no one had noticed his movements.
The corridor before him was empty, save for the occasional distant hum of machinery, making it seem exceptionally quiet. There wasn't a soul in sight.
After confirming that no one was nearby, Mo Wang quickly stepped out of the office, holding a heavy box.
The edges of the box bulged slightly, as if it were packed with important items.
He tried his best to stay steady, his steps as light as possible, afraid that a single sound would attract attention.
Although he knew no one knew his purpose, he also knew that he had to be extremely careful. If he were discovered, it would all be over.
"Good, no one should have noticed..." he muttered to himself, letting out a silent sigh of relief. He then quickened his pace, heading straight for the hangar door.
Along the way, Mo Wang constantly peeked around, carefully observing every corner to ensure there were no potential witnesses.
Even when passing a normal intersection, he would lower his head, afraid of running into a familiar face.
"Almost there!" Mo Wang could now see the hangar door in the distance.
But just as he was about to reach it, a voice from behind suddenly stopped him in his tracks.
"Captain, what are you doing?" The sudden voice startled Mo Wang, and he almost instinctively shoved the box behind him.
He whipped around and saw a familiar Valkyrie passing by, a stack of files tucked under her arm.
She was looking at him with a puzzled expression, seemingly wondering what he was doing, acting so suspiciously.
"Ahem, it's you. What a coincidence. By the way, isn't it the weekend? What are you doing on the Hyperion?"
Mo Wang said to the Valkyrie with a calm expression, though if you ignored the way he was constantly trying to block the box behind him and the sweat beading on his forehead...
"Well, I didn't finish a file yesterday, so I decided to come in and work overtime. I just finished it and was about to deliver it to you."
The Valkyrie said, her eyes curiously trying to peer behind Mo Wang.
"That's really tough on you, having to work overtime on the weekend," Mo Wang said, shifting his body to block the box from her line of sight.
"By the way! If it's not too much trouble, could you please just leave the file on my desk? I'll get to it when I have time."
"Captain, what exactly are you carrying? Why are you being so secretive?"
The Valkyrie's curiosity was now piqued.
Her heart was itching with curiosity, like a cat's paw scratching at it.
"Ahem." Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Mo Wang had no choice but to use his ultimate secret technique to deal with the situation.
"Valkyrie, please stand at attention. The captain is currently carrying out a direct order from the Lord Overseer himself. You must not tell anyone!"
Mo Wang said to the Valkyrie with a solemn expression.
If you just looked at his serious face, he actually looked quite convincing.
"A secret mission from the Lord Overseer? Why haven't I heard anything about it?!"
The Valkyrie looked at Mo Wang, her curiosity now even greater.
"Ahem, otherwise, why would it be called a secret mission? Alright, Valkyrie, go put the file down. And remember, you didn't see me today. If anyone asks about me later, you say you haven't seen me. Understood? That's a captain's order."
"I understand, Captain!" Hearing Mo Wang's words, the Valkyrie's expression immediately turned serious.
It just goes to show, even Valkyries were, at their core, soldiers.
After being completely bamboozled by Mo Wang, she didn't even suspect a thing.
"Finally got rid of her."
Seeing that the Valkyrie was no longer pestering him, Mo Wang took off at a hundred-meter dash pace, running without rest until he reached a small grove at the very edge of St. Freya.
As everyone knows, St. Freya was built on an isolated island. Besides a single road, there were no other normal ways to reach it.
Surrounding it were pure, small groves and reefs close to the sea.
Basically, no one ever came to a place like this.
This led to the existence of many unknown secret areas around St. Freya.
"I'm finally here! My sacred ground!"
Mo Wang pulled out items from the box one after another: a sun umbrella, a deck chair, firewood, a barbecue grill, and various snacks, plus a fishing rod.
In less than ten minutes, a super-luxurious resort had been created by Mo Wang.
"Deck chair, check! Barbecue, check! Drinks, check! Fishing rod, check!"
Mo Wang looked at his masterpiece, feeling that everything was perfect.
In this secluded grove, not only was there no one around, but there was even a small river leading directly to the sea.
Barbecuing, fishing, all sorts of snacks! This was the perfect vacation spot in the mind of any angler.
"It wasn't easy, but I can finally slack off in peace!"
Thinking about how he had recently had to deal with mountains of paperwork, play games with the Valkyries, and even act as a part-time psychologist, Mo Wang couldn't help but wipe away a tear.
The last time he'd slacked off was... well, the last time.
But it was all worth it!
Just looking at his setup, Mo Wang felt his Engel coefficient shoot through the roof.
"Lalala, vacation time!"
Mo Wang plopped down on the deck chair, cast his fishing line, and leaned back in a relaxed posture, the very picture of leisure.
Watching the bobber sway and smelling the aroma of barbecue in the air, Mo Wang felt that a perfect life could be nothing more than this.
To enjoy a peaceful vacation today, he had not only processed a whole month's worth of work at once, sent all the Valkyries on leave, but also spent a fortune setting up an inescapable net around the area.
If anyone dared to pass by, Mo Wang would make them get lost immediately!
For today's Mo Wang, even if the Emperor himself showed up, he wouldn't be able to make him work.
But just as Mo Wang was happily thinking about whether he could catch a sea fish for dinner, on the beach less than two hundred meters away, a blue-haired young man had secretly arrived near St. Freya.
"Tch! So this is Schicksal's Far East Branch? I thought the defenses would be tight, but this is it?"
The blue-haired young man looked at the completely undefended beach and couldn't help but laugh.
"Looks like this mission will be easier than I thought. To think they had to send me personally. That Cocolia really deserves to die."
The blue-haired young man said as he walked towards the small grove ahead.
But he hadn't taken more than a few steps when he suddenly felt the ground give way beneath him.
"Huh?"
The young man looked down in confusion and found that he was now standing over a pit at least ten meters deep.
"DAMN IT! Who the hell dug a pit in a place like this?!"
With the blue-haired young man's scream and a loud thud, the arrogant-looking youth fell straight in.
And Mo Wang, the perpetrator of it all, was completely oblivious, beginning his journey of catching absolutely nothing.
