People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

[Host has successfully helped Raiden Mei escape Welt Joyce. Congratulations on receiving 100 crystals.]

Seeing the reward given by the Good Deeds System, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but smile. She accepted Mei's praise without hesitation and said with a smile, "We are classmates at St. Freya Academy. You don't need to be polite with me about such a small thing. As long as I can help Mei, I will do my best to complete it, no matter what it is."

As long as she can get the crystal, JoJo is willing to accept any request Raiden Mei may make.

Seeing how concerned Jojo was about her affairs, Mei felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She had sought Jojo's help because she didn't want to accept Cocolia and Walter's manipulation and marriage proposal.

This was originally just my own business, but I didn't expect Qiaoqiao to care so much about my affairs and be willing to do anything for me.

Compared to Walter Joyce, who harmed her father and constantly harassed her, Mei preferred a man like Jojo, who was willing to confront the powerful and wealthy for her sake and was someone she could rely on.

If... Jojo really is my fiancé... that would be wonderful.

Thinking of this, Mei's pretty face flushed red, and she felt hot and restless all over.

Qiaoqiao noticed that Mei's cheeks were slightly flushed and asked curiously, "Mei, you look a little strange. Are you not feeling well?"

As she spoke, Qiaoqiao reached out to touch Mei's forehead to check her temperature.

Mei didn't want Qiao Qiao to notice the little fantasy she had just had, so she turned around, her back to Qiao Qiao, and said with her ears flushed, "I probably drank too much alcohol just now. Don't worry, I feel fine."

Qiao Qiao noticed that Mei had just been blushing like a little girl, which was especially endearing, but in the next instant she had become tense and assertive. He felt very strange, but he couldn't read minds and had no idea what Mei was thinking. So he changed the subject and asked, "Mei, what exactly is the identity of your fiancé, 'Beichen Jiujiu'? Walter seems particularly wary of him."

Mei wasn't surprised to hear Jojo's question. After all, Walter Joyce was the nominal leader of Anti-Entropy, and anyone who could make him wary must have an extraordinary background. Jojo was now playing such a person, so she would definitely be curious about him.

“In my memory, I have never met Beichen Jiujiu, but I have heard some things about the Beichen family.” After calming down, Mei turned around and said to Qiaoqiao in detail, “The Beichen family and our Leidian family are of the same lineage. Legend has it that our two families’ common ancestor was an invincible swordsman who once traveled to the Divine Continent to meet real immortals and learned the skills to subdue demons and protect the entire Far East.”

"After that swordsman died, his descendants also inherited the immortal's will and protected the Far East."

Mei said with a serious expression, "But... perhaps because of the death of the Peerless Swordsman, the demons are causing more and more trouble. Within the family, two factions have emerged who disagree on how to protect the Far East. Some people believe that the most important task in protecting the Far East is to protect the common people, while others believe that in order to protect the Far East, all the demons must be exterminated."

Upon hearing Mei's explanation, Qiao Qiao nodded; he could understand the thoughts of the two factions within the family.

The former prefers to help people grow and develop civilization rather than fight against the collapse, putting people first and demonstrating compassion.

The latter doesn't care how many people die as long as he can overthrow the Collapse, which shows his abundant martial virtue.

"As the two factions within the family grew increasingly divided, they eventually parted ways. The Raiden family, who chose to protect the people, integrated into the world, helping the people to cultivate the land and work, enabling them to live and work in peace and contentment. They eventually became a renowned noble family in the Far East, and gradually forgot the power to slay demons and monsters in their bloodline. The Beichen family, on the other hand, chose to retreat into the mountains and forests, far from the world, to continue honing their skills and silently fighting against demons and monsters for thousands of years."

“And I am the heir of the Raiden family.” Mei touched her chest and said in a deep voice, “That ‘Hokushin Sakehisa’ is the young master of the Hokushin family.”

After listening to Mei's story, Qiaoqiao could understand why Welt dared not provoke "Beichen Jiujiu". After all, although the Beichen family was far removed from the world and not as famous as the Raiden family, they had been able to protect the Far East from the Honkai for thousands of years. Their great achievements were comparable to those of the Crimson Kite Immortal who protected the Divine Land for thousands of years and the Destiny Bishop Otto who fought against the Honkai for five hundred years.

Although he was merely a clone of the First Herrscher, Welt Joyce wasn't stupid. He didn't directly confront the young master of the Hokushin family in the Far East. Otherwise, he and Cocolia might not have made it out of the Far East alive.

However, while he inherited Walter's brilliant mind, he did not inherit Walter's golden spirit.

You should know that the First Herrscher, Welt, was willing to risk his life to bring down the tyrant in the sky and show him what it's like to have stars shattered.

Compared to the real Welt, this clone, while acting rationally, ultimately lacks the backbone and indomitable spirit to face challenges head-on. He cannot be considered a true "Herrscher of Reason" and is not worthy of being JoJo's opponent.

Chapter 184 Mei: My father is not a criminal!

Walter intended to use this group gathering to pursue Mei and, following Cocolia's instructions, seize the Raiden family's assets, especially the Conquer Jewel.

Unexpectedly, Raiden Mei's long-lost fiancé, "Hokushin Sakehisa," also appeared at the banquet with her.

Although Welt is nominally the leader of Anti-Entropy, he is ultimately just a clone of the Herrscher of Reason and cannot disobey Cocolia's orders.

Considering the Beichen family's deep-rooted influence and power in the Far East, Walter, no matter how unwilling he was, could only grit his teeth and endure, temporarily concealing his strength and waiting for the right opportunity.

In the banquet hall, the guests in suits and ties looked surprised to see Walter leave the VIP room alone with a gloomy face, looking extremely bad.

You should know that Walter Joyce was the leader of Anti-Entropy, commanding the Anti-Entropy army, and he had a violent temper. All the dignitaries present were as afraid of him as mice were of a cat.

But this arrogant man suddenly abandoned his usual haughty demeanor and left the VIP room with a sullen expression. Miss Raiden Mei, whom he had been pursuing, did not come out with him.

It seems that... this usually reckless leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance has met his match this time, and has been kicked out by Miss Mei's real fiancé, the young master of the Beichen family.

Walter Joyce, relying on Anti-Entropy and Cocolia's backing, has always been arrogant and disdainful of everyone. The dignitaries present have often suffered his scorn.

Seeing this arrogant young master suffer a setback at Beichen Jiujiu's hands, he secretly rejoiced.

At the same time, they couldn't help but admire Beichen Jiujiu in their hearts.

They had long heard that these young masters of the Beichen family were not only of noble birth and had a profound background, but were also both literate and martial, possessing martial arts talent that was rare in a thousand years, the ability to slay demons and monsters, the ability to remember everything they saw, and superb chess skills.

In retrospect, the fact that he was able to make the arrogant and domineering Walter Joyce suffer a setback and leave on his own initiative shows that even the Anti-Entropy, which rules the entire North American region, dared not easily provoke him. It's not just about having a noble family background and being skilled in both literature and martial arts; he is clearly a big shot who would be prominent in the world.

Shortly after Walter turned and left the VIP room, Jojo and Mei walked into the banquet hall together.

The handsome and pretty Jojo and the elegant and beautiful Mei captivated the attention of everyone in the banquet hall the moment they appeared.

To the dignitaries in the banquet hall, Qiaoqiao and Mei were like a match made in heaven, an incredibly perfect couple that inspired envy.

At the banquet, a young man saw Mei, who was wearing a long dress, with a beautiful and refined face and an elegant and graceful temperament, and he was unconsciously a little infatuated.

"Miss Mei, you've grown into a beautiful young woman..."

A wealthy young man immediately chimed in, "Yes... if I had known she would grow up to be this beautiful, I should have made my move sooner when President Ryoma was down on his luck..."

Compared to Mei's beauty, the rich heiresses in the banquet hall seemed ordinary and ignored by everyone. They were already jealous, and seeing her paired with the handsome and wealthy young master of the Beichen family, becoming a phoenix on a branch, made them feel that heaven was unfair and they were extremely resentful.

Hearing these rich young men praising Raiden Mei was like lighting a fuse on a powder keg. They angrily said, "What's so great about Raiden Mei! Don't forget that her father is a big liar, and she herself is the daughter of a criminal. She uses dirty money obtained through murder and robbery!"

"Yes! Yes! A criminal's daughter like her doesn't deserve to attend this banquet at all!"

"Young Master Beichen has definitely been deceived by this woman. The daughter of a criminal can't be any good either. She's definitely trying to trick Young Master Beichen and run off with all of their family's wealth!"

The group of wealthy young ladies who disliked Raiden Mei were discussing the matter heatedly. The wealthy young men who had been amazed by Mei's beauty suddenly fell silent, lowering their heads like turtles, afraid of angering these rich and powerful young ladies and causing themselves unnecessary trouble.

Mei heard the whispers of those rich young ladies and felt very upset.

Ever since her father, Raiden Ryoma, was framed and imprisoned, she has been treated like a criminal wherever she goes, constantly being pointed at and gossiped about. She was mentally prepared for the rumors and gossip surrounding her at this Me-sha group gathering.

But when the women in the banquet hall, unaware of the whole story, stood on their moral high ground and began to criticize Mei, her heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife.

Although she appeared delicate, she was incredibly strong inside and was not afraid of the women's sharp words and attacks.

But she couldn't stand them calling her father, Raiden Ryoma, a "criminal."

She longed to refute these malicious women and tell them...

My father is not a criminal; he is a great hero and the best father in the world!

But the prejudices of the world are like a mountain that will not be easily changed. As long as she has not cleared her father's name and rescued him from prison, even if she shouts herself hoarse, they will stubbornly believe that her father is a criminal and that she will always be the daughter of a criminal.

These people didn't care how many bowls of noodles Mei and her father ate; they just wanted them to commit seppuku.

Thinking about this, Mei became even more determined to clear her father's name.

Qiaoqiao overheard the women's criticisms of Mei and noticed that Mei looked very upset.

Many men in the banquet hall knew very well that Raiden Ryoma might not be guilty, and even if he was, it had nothing to do with his daughter Raiden Mei. However, none of them were willing to speak up for Raiden Mei, fearing that if they offended these women, they would also be attacked by them.

Just then, two options appeared in front of Qiaoqiao.

At the banquet hall, many wealthy young ladies, out of jealousy towards Raiden Mei, hurl insults and spread rumors against her. What will you choose...?

[Option 1: Silently endure it, pat Mei on the shoulder and say, "There are too many of them, we can't afford to mess with them. Just bear with it for now, and everything will be alright once we prove your father's innocence."]

[Option 2: Grasp Mei's delicate hand and angrily shout, "I am Beichen Jiujiu, the young master of the Beichen family, and Raiden Mei is my fiancée whom I love for the rest of my life. I will not allow anyone to maliciously slander her. Who was it that slandered my fiancée just now? If you have the guts, stand up now!"]

Qiaoqiao was overjoyed to see the two options provided by the Good Deeds System.

Eliminate the first option immediately!

You should know that Qiao Qiao is different. His current identity is Mei's fiancé, the young master of the Bei Chen family, "Bei Chen Jiu Jiu".

As the young master of the Beichen family, a powerful and influential clan, how could he not retaliate when his fiancée was being insulted in front of him?

Using Bei Chenjiu's identity, Qiao Qiao could do whatever she wanted without worrying about these rich young ladies.

It's a rare opportunity for Qiao Qiao to play the role of a wealthy young man at a banquet. Even if she offends many people, they will only resent "Bei Chen Jiu Jiu," and it won't affect Qiao Qiao herself at all.

Without a doubt, Qiaoqiao chose the second option without even a moment's hesitation: spray back!

Qiaoqiao reached out and grasped Mei's slender, delicate fingers, a resolute glint in her eyes.

Mei suddenly felt the warmth of Qiao Qiao's palm and was slightly startled. The resentment that had been pressing on her heart after being insulted by those women vanished instantly. She looked up in surprise and saw that Qiao Qiao's face was as cold as ice. She looked extremely angry and immediately understood what Qiao Qiao was about to do. She was about to stop Qiao Qiao from acting impulsively.

But by the time she tried to stop it, it was clearly too late.

Qiao Qiao gripped Mei's slender, delicate fingers, her gaze piercing like a sharp blade as she stared at the woman who had been whispering about Mei. She said hatefully, "I am Bei Chen Jiu Jiu, the young master of the Bei Chen family, and Lei Dian Mei is my fiancée whom I love for the rest of my life. I will not allow anyone to maliciously slander her. Who was it that was talking nonsense and defaming my fiancée? If you have the guts, stand up now!"

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, the men present were stunned, and the women who had just been jealous and slandering Mei were also taken aback.

The dignitaries in the banquet hall realized at this moment that this young master of the Beichen family was not a cowardly or weak person. On the contrary, he was extremely fierce and would never let anyone who dared to bully his fiancée get away with it.

The women who had just been slandering Mei panicked. They never expected that just a few whispered curses would cause them so much trouble.

You should know that Bei Chen Jiu Jiu is a ruthless person that even Walter Joyce dared not provoke. They are just rich young ladies whose families own dozens of companies. How could they possibly withstand his anger?

[Host has completed the task. Congratulations on receiving 100 crystals.]

Chapter 185 A Difficult Choice

"Raiden Mei is my fiancée whom I love for the rest of my life. I will not allow anyone to maliciously slander her. Who were those who were talking nonsense and defaming my fiancée? If they have the guts, they should stand up now!"

Under the quest options of the "Accumulate Good Deeds and Virtues" system, Qiaoqiao unhesitatingly chose the second option and launched an attack on the rich young ladies who were whispering and cursing Mei.

Hearing Qiao Qiao's angry voice, the guests present were startled. They had not expected that the young master of the Bei Chen family would have such a fierce temperament.

If it were anyone else, they would just tolerate hearing their fiancée or lover being slandered and gossiped about. After all, everyone at the banquet is a prominent figure, and offending them would only bring unnecessary trouble upon oneself.

However, the young master of the Beichen family seemed unable to hear the slightest slander against his fiancée and chose to confront her directly.

This shows that he is not only brave and straightforward, but also extremely protective of his wife, which makes many guests present feel inferior and cannot help but admire him.

But those rich young ladies who were just gossiping suddenly became as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They never expected that their casual insults would directly anger Bei Chenjiu. They were trembling with fear, but dared not respond to Qiao Qiao's words and stand up to confront her.

These rich young ladies often gossip out of jealousy, but they dare not step forward to bear the wrath of the young master of the Beichen family.

Seeing the women who had been slandering Mei suddenly fall silent, Qiaoqiao sneered.

These women, hiding behind the scenes, slander businessmen like warriors going to war, quite enthusiastic and proactive. But when asked to stand up and bear the consequences of their slander, one or two of them act like cowards and dare not come forward.

Their outspokenness and reluctance to admit their mistakes, hiding behind the crowd, only fueled Qiaoqiao's anger, who was already indignant on Mei's behalf.

The person who was whispering and criticizing Mei just now is silent, afraid to admit it. What is your next choice...?

Option 1: Let them go, and say to the slanderers, "I'll let you off this time, but if I ever hear you talking badly about my fiancée again, I will never let you get away with it!"

[Option 2: Seek justice for Mei, and coldly say to the guests present, "I'll count down from three. If no one steps forward to admit it, then I'll take it as everyone here not welcoming Miss Mei and me, and wanting to oppose the Beichen family."]
