Chapter 23 - Chapter 23

After a long silence, she still didn't flee as she had thought; she was someone who had sworn to carry the fate of everyone on her shoulders.

That is, a hero.

And a hero must never flee in a panic!

"Otto, there's nothing good to say about that man; I don't have a habit of speaking ill of people behind their backs."

The young man smiled, not elaborating.

"Besides, that nihilistic man has already chosen his own guillotine; even if we do nothing, he will still walk towards self-destruction."

He simply embraced his adopted daughter gently. Durandal initially wanted to struggle, but seeing the man's wistful expression, she couldn't bring herself to, and finally stopped, returning the embrace to the man who called himself her godfather.

A scene of a loving father and devoted daughter.

"Damn, why don't you quit being a mine owner and go into acting?"

"Three years Best Actor, five years Lifetime Achievement."

The prompter was stunned.

He sent you to report on Dai E, but you almost tricked Dai E into becoming your adopted daughter.

"Aren't you afraid that one day Dai E will realize it and directly pick up her Halberd to send you to meet Prime Minister Dong?"

In response, Luo Su merely rolled his eyes.

No, he wasn't a person from the Honkai World.

No matter how strong Dai E was, could she really cross worlds to hunt him down?

Dai E, being embraced, clearly didn't know that her godfather's internal monologue, which resembled a tragic second male lead in a melodramatic drama, was as active as a Nigger who had been whipped three times.

The embraced girl looked up at her godfather, and then a slight murmur arose in her heart.

Speaking of which, her godfather was so well-preserved, he looked so young! She wouldn't have known he wasn't her peer.

"...So, Godfather, is there something you came to see me about?"

Godfather didn't seem to be here to settle scores with the bishop.

So, what was his reason for being here?

"While passing through Chang Kong City, I met a few people who are quite connected to you. I originally wanted to take them in myself, but considering your connection to her, I felt it would be better to let you handle it."

The young man smiled slightly.

"Quite connected?"

Durandal was a little surprised.

No matter how strong the connection, could it be closer than her aunt from the Schariac Family?

"Yes, after all, she is a girl who shares a name with you."

The young man said with a smile.

"Furthermore—there are two very boring fellows there: one is Cocolia, an Anti-Entropy executive attempting to create a Great Honkai there, and the other is Grey Serpent, a World Serpent executive providing her with technology."

"I've told you too much today; you probably won't sleep well tonight. If you really can't sleep, go take care of things. Beating evil-doers is quite effective at relieving stress."

As he spoke, the young man's figure gradually faded away.

Durandal was alone, bewildered in her dream.

The next moment, she opened her eyes.

"Godfather, blood relatives, the bishop's darkness, artificial Great Honkai..."

The young girl murmured these words.

Just as Luo Su had said, she was now completely sleepless.

Since she couldn't sleep, she wouldn't.

The Big Goose, the strongest under heaven, suddenly grabbed at the air, and the next moment a long spear appeared in her hand.

She didn't even change her clothes, striding out of her room in her pajamas.

"Lady Durandal, are you...?"

The Valkyries on the way were stunned; they couldn't understand why the strongest person in headquarters was in such a hurry.

"Prepare a battleship for me to Chang Kong City... No, notify the organizations near Chang Kong City to meet me."

The young girl's beautiful face now wore an expression as hard as Diamond.

No matter what—

Criminals against humanity must be eliminated!!

Chapter 26: All Trivial Matters

March 2014.

A small incident occurred at Schariac.

For example, the vice-captain of the Immortal Blades of Schariac captured a spy with furry characteristics and then disappeared.

This caused Vice-Captain Rita to lose face.

At the same time, some small incidents also occurred in Chang Kong City.

For example, Cocolia, an executive of Anti-Entropy, and her ally Grey Serpent were launched into the sky by an unnamed Dai E, and smashed into Cocolia paste mixed with Grey Serpent paste.

The Anti-Entropy faction, which had originally been unified by Cocolia, was now in chaos like the Africa region.

However, the above situations had nothing to do with Luo Su.

After all, the above incidents were done by Si Xi Su, the distant cousin of Raiden Ryoma, and Luo Feng Xi, the honorary father of Durandal.

They had nothing to do with Luo Su.

Luo Su sat in the hall, elegantly raising a red wine glass, swirling it in the dim light.

Thanks to Dai E, Raiden Ryoma successfully escaped from prison.

This person promised to provide Luo Su with a sum of support, and after confirming that Cocolia was gone, Raiden Ryoma paid up very readily.

"Oh, my friend, you must have made a lot of money this time, have you become an oil tycoon?"

In the Chat Group, Valon poked Luo Su.

"Hello, yes."

The young man who had just returned from the Honkai World now had a piece of cloth on his head, he didn't know when it got there.

He had an East Asian face, and the background was Siberia.

But, the moment he proudly said "yes," the entire world seemed to turn into a desert gurgling with oil.

"Shouldn't you treat everyone in the group to a big meal?"

Hui Hui, still in Crimson Demon Village, peered out.

Although she didn't know what had happened, suggesting a big meal was always the right move at this moment.

"A big meal?"

Luo Su laughed heartily.

"Too small, the scope is too small, everyone who sees it gets a share."

Luo Su instantly seemed to awaken the bloodline of a camel, directly sending red envelopes to every group member.

His current life was connected to all the group members.

Since he had become wealthy, he naturally wanted to help his friends.

He wasn't so morally bankrupt as to kick those who supported him into the slums after becoming rich.

Hui Hui took the red envelope, opened it, and found a safe.

The box opened, and inside were stacks of colorful papers.

Hui Hui, with a solemn expression, picked up a banknote, held it high, and then carefully observed the patterns on it.

The old man named Franklin on the paper was smiling at her.

—Although she didn't know who the old man on the banknote was, Hui Hui always held an awe surpassing that of gods for the existence printed on currency.

"Are these colorful papers the currency of Sister Mei's world?"

"Hmm, it's a currency with quite stable purchasing power."

Valon, the rich man who hadn't gone bankrupt yet, explained the purchasing power of the US Dollar to the child from Another World.

"However, for people in a magical medieval setting, even if I say dollars are very stable, you probably won't understand. If we convert it into goods, you might have a more practical sense. Let's talk about the price of rice."

"The US quote remains at $760/ton; Uruguay's export price is $575/ton; Vietnamese rice price is $460/ton, and Indian white rice quote remains at the global lowest level of $435/ton."

"If you don't mind the taste of white rice, you can exchange one banknote in your hand for four hundred and fifty catties of grain in Raiden Mei's world."

"Hiss—"

Hui Hui gasped.

For this poor girl from the slums, who sometimes couldn't eat solid food for three days, this price was truly outrageous!

She tried to lift the box, but just as she lifted it a little, it fell down due to insufficient arm strength, almost hitting her toes.

"I had someone weigh it; my red envelope is almost 210 catties, and yours should be the same amount... Good heavens, this price is enough to get a luxury apartment in Manhattan."

Even Valon, a Black Hand member, couldn't help but click his tongue.

He had a whole new understanding of the profession of a prophet.

Your mother, it's robbery.

No, even robbery isn't this fast!

"By the way, giving everyone so much dividend, won't it affect you?"

Hui Hui, who had almost been hit by the box on her foot, suddenly noticed a blind spot.

"No problem, the share I kept for myself is twice the total sum of your red envelopes."

The young man had an arrogant expression.

At the same time, he gradually understood why the prompter kept urging him to pursue Raiden Mei.

Raiden Ryoma's gold reserves were truly astonishing.

This was also because Anti-Entropy's mechs had all been dismantled by the invincible Big Goose; otherwise, he might have been able to switch to being a Zaku pilot starting today.

"Boss is awesome!!!"

Knowing that this wouldn't greatly affect Luo Su, Hui Hui immediately accepted the money with a clear conscience, shouting loudly.

That's how the world is.

Monthly salary 2,000, boss, I'm your dad. Monthly salary 10,000, the boss said something a little problematic, but I won't speak. Monthly salary 50,000, 996 is as natural as breathing. As for a box of US dollars... "Should shout 'Invincible under heaven'."

Luo Su corrected Hui Hui's speaking error.

"Yes, Boss is Invincible under heaven!!"

Hui Hui almost instantly transformed into a sycophant; if she had a tail, it would probably be wagging.

A boss who distributes dollars by the catty—even his farts would be sweet. If he set his house on fire, she would still need to flatter him, saying, 'Boss, your fire is so beautiful, it warms my heart.'

Hui Hui knew this well.

"But speaking of which, why are only the three of us talking?"

The girl who made magic tools in Crimson Demon Village noticed that the group chat was a bit quiet today.

"Uh, for a small reason, I asked Skadi to investigate the mansions of Victoria and Kazimierz."

Luo Su made no secret of his determination to die in comfort.

Who cares about the state of this land?

Master Luo only wanted to experience the depth of the pool and the heat of the courtyard barbecue grill.
