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

The holographic projection suddenly shut down, and the ruined battlefield on the podium disappeared.

Instead, Cocolia, dressed in a white military uniform, with a noble and elegant demeanor and a voluptuous figure, stood in front of the podium. Holding a remote control, she opened the prepared demonstration image, and the data of the Titan mech that had just defeated the Temple-class Honkai Beast appeared in front of everyone.

"Distinguished guests who have traveled from afar, the live broadcast you just saw was of our company's newly developed Titan mech."

Code name: Godfather!

Upon hearing Cocolia's introduction, the guests present immediately perked up. Having witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of the Titan mech in defeating the Temple-class Honkai Beast, they were naturally very interested in it.

On the podium, Cocolia smiled confidently and said, "As you have just seen, this new Titan mech uses the latest AI and can automatically attack enemies based on instructions and the environment."

"His energy shield utilizes our company's latest scientific research achievements and can withstand missile-level attacks. The energy output of the power reactor even overwhelms the Temple-level Honkai Beast."

"The Godfather's performance is exceptional. Our company will use it to replace manpower in fields such as machine assembly, fire rescue, civil engineering, and national defense. We hope you will purchase it."

Cocolia's words seemed to possess a magical power, stirring the hearts of the wealthy and powerful people present. They had witnessed firsthand the Godfather's terrifying combat capabilities, and if he were to be applied to the field of warfare, he would completely rewrite the modern battlefield.

Any group, region, or country without a "godfather" will be utterly powerless and completely defeated by an enemy with one.

The wealthy officials present immediately became ambitious, determined to buy "The Godfather".

Cocolia looked at the ambitious crowd below the stage, eager to buy "The Godfather," and a slight smile appeared on her lips as she leisurely raised a finger towards them.

"The number of 'Godfather' items that our company has pre-sold in this round is one million!"

Upon hearing Cocolia's words, the distinguished guests present were immediately astonished and began to whisper among themselves.

It's important to know that a country typically maintains only tens of thousands of armed helicopters.

Anti-Entropy's pre-sale of one million "Godfather" mechs is an astonishing quantity. In today's world, apart from Destiny, no organization or group can swallow up so many mechs in one go.

But the banquet hall is now filled with representatives from various countries, regions, groups, and organizations around the world. They are determined to obtain more "Godfather" mechs than their competitors and enemies, or they will inevitably become corpses under the "Godfather" giant.

【1000000】

Behind Cocolia, the pre-sale figure of one million "Godfather" was projected.

Immediately afterwards, the numbers on the projection screen plummeted.

【500000】

【150000】

【20000】

In order to outdo their competitors, the wealthy officials present used the financial reserves of an entire corporation, or even the nation, to frantically purchase "Godfather" mechs.

【...】

【0】

In just a few seconds, Cocolia's one million Titan mechs sold out instantly, and the amount of money deposited into her bank account was astronomical.

Seeing that the "Godfather" mecha was sold out, Cocolia smiled with satisfaction and said happily into the microphone, "Thank you all for visiting and supporting us today."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cocolia stepped down from the podium and, escorted by her bodyguards, went backstage.

In the backstage corridor, Cocolia spotted a familiar girl.

Raiden Mei blocked Cocolia's path, her face extremely gloomy.

She watched as Cocolia tricked everyone and sold the "Godfather," her pearly white teeth clenched tightly as she angrily exclaimed, "Cocolia...you despicable liar!"

Hearing Mei's scolding, Cocolia showed no signs of anger, but instead revealed an elegant, calm, and meaningful smile.

...He seemed to accept the title of "liar" quite readily.

Chapter 197 The Tension Between Two Women

Anti-Entropy North American Base.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand and the ruins of the city, raging flames erupted, countless high-rise buildings crumbled, and debris scattered across the ground like building blocks. Thick, red blood, like lava spewing from a volcano, spread across the land, flowing slowly.

The temple guard's death was incredibly gruesome; not even a complete body was left. His massive body, comparable to a tall building, was torn to pieces and scattered around like trash. His one-eyed head, dripping with blood, was carried away from the scene by a large truck.

If Cocolia were to broadcast the current situation at the North American base to the members of Me, they would surely be horrified by the gruesome deaths of the Temple Guardians, and would also be surprised to find that the collapsed high-rises in this ruined city caused several times more damage than the Honkai Beasts, with the central area almost completely flattened.

"Up, up, stop!"

Staff at the North American base directed a crane to lift the power-depleted Titan mech "Godfather" into the air and place it on the base's elevator.

As the crane lifted "The Godfather" onto the elevator and secured it firmly with the supports, the worker breathed a sigh of relief, slightly grumbling to his colleague, "Finally finished. This big guy always ran out of power before it would stop..."

"Lady Cocolia is a heartless capitalist who only cares about making money and doesn't even consider how difficult our on-site recycling work is!"

"Alright, alright," his colleague reassured him. "At least Cocolia pays me a good salary, doesn't she?"

Thinking of the generous reward offered by Anti-Entropy, the worker wearing a sun hat immediately broke into a憨态可掬 smile: "That's true."

"Then stop complaining." The colleague reached out and patted the worker on the shoulder: "You still have a lot of work to do, you can't rest now."

"Let's put in a burst of effort and finish the rest of the cleanup work as soon as possible!"

For these members of the anti-entropy group who need to support their families, as long as their wages are sufficient, they are willing to do any amount of work, no matter how much, how hard, or how tiring it is.

They'd be willing to be Cocolia's dogs as long as the pay was right. If not, then the pay wasn't enough.

The two anti-entropy figures turned to look at the torn corpses of the temple guards, recalling the battle between the "Godfather" and the temple guards.

After the Godfather punched through the chest of the Temple Guardian, the powerful Honkai Beast died in despair amidst a pitiful scream.

And that concludes the live broadcast from the North American base.

What the guests at Me couldn't see was that after killing the Temple Guard, the Godfather not only didn't stop, but went into a berserk state, tearing the Temple Guard to pieces with his giant steel hand and repeatedly whipping the corpse.

In an instant, the ruins of North America were littered with body parts and rivers of blood. Even the staff of Anti-Entropy couldn't help but tremble with fear at the sight of this horrifying scene.

Moreover, after tearing apart the corpses of the temple guards, the Godfather, who had entered a berserk state, was not satisfied and began to attack the city indiscriminately, destroying several high-rise buildings in the ruins.

The Godfather mech, half-covered in blood and terrifying in appearance, finally came to a stop when its energy was exhausted.

Those VIPs at Me Company bought the Godfather mech, but they knew nothing of its true terror.

The Anti-Entropy staff quickly directed trucks to clean up the body parts and blood at the scene, leaving not a trace of blood behind.

Meanwhile, in the backstage passage of the Me Company's stage, Raiden Mei found Cocolia in a menacing manner. Her father, Raiden Ryoma, was one of the executives of Anti-Entropy, and the "Godfather" armor was developed at Me Company. As the daughter of the former president of Me Company, she can be said to be the only person who knows about the Godfather's "Berserk" flaw.

When she saw Cocolia selling the Godfather to everyone as a weapon of war, she was not only terrified and uneasy, but also furious. She confronted Cocolia directly, and the atmosphere between the two was extremely tense.

Upon seeing the knife at Raiden Mei's waist, Cocolia's bodyguard in a black suit tried to grab her, but Cocolia pressed down on his shoulder instead.

Cocolia gestured with her eyes for the bodyguards in suits to step back, and a warm and friendly smile appeared on her mature and beautiful face as she took the initiative to greet Mei: "Isn't this Miss Mei? It's been a long time. Since you rarely come home, why didn't you tell me in advance so I could arrange for someone to welcome you?"

As a seasoned businesswoman, Cocolia was already used to speaking to people in a way that suited them, and to flattering them. She knew that Mei had been with the young master of the Beichen family for a long time, so she acted as if she were a long-lost relative.

Mei sneered. She had long seen through Cocolia's seductive and bewitching techniques. If she hadn't had Qiaoqiao impersonate Beichen Jiujiu to accompany her to Me Company today, Cocolia would never have been so polite to her. Even if she had forced her, she would have made her get engaged to Welt and obtain the Raiden family's assets.

"Cocolia, you vixen, stop with your seductive tricks! If it weren't for you... how could I be unable to go home?!"

Cocolia knows that Mei hates her to the core because of Raiden Ryoma's imprisonment.

Even though she was met with a cold shoulder, Cocolia's smile remained calm and composed. She ordered her bodyguards to step back and said to Mei, "Miss Mei, it's not convenient to talk here. Let's find a quiet place nearby to chat."

When Mei heard Cocolia's suggestion, she hesitated for a moment, then remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Seeing that Mei did not refuse, Cocolia immediately ordered her subordinates to find a VIP room.

Mei followed Cocolia into a quiet, elegant, and antique-style living room.

At this moment, Cocolia had given up all her possessions and was alone with Mei.

Mei didn't know whether it was because she was wary of Cocolia's ambush or because she wanted to seize the opportunity to get revenge. Her slender and delicate fingers silently stroked the hilt of the sword at her waist.

With her back to Mei, Cocolia, completely unguarded, took out an exquisite tea set from the cupboard and said while brewing tea, "Miss Mei, if I were you, I wouldn't act rashly on someone else's turf."

Cocolia acted like an ordinary woman in front of Mei, gentle and mature, and said softly, "I have no intention of hurting you. Otherwise, I would have ordered my men to take action in the passage instead of waiting until now. I hope you will not do anything to spoil the mood."

Upon hearing Cocolia's words, Mei gritted her teeth and reluctantly released her grip on the hilt of the knife. She knew very well that fighting Cocolia on Anti-Entropy's territory was not a rational thing to do.

After brewing the tea, Cocolia invited Mei to sit down, just like she would a guest.

Although Mei kept staring at Cocolia with an unfriendly expression, she had no choice but to sit on the sofa as Cocolia had suggested.

"Come, try the Japanese tea I specially brewed for you, and some sweet desserts too."

When Mei saw the Japanese tea and sweets that Cocolia served, she looked quite surprised: "How did you know I like Japanese tea and sweets?"

Cocolia sat leisurely opposite Mei, her eyes sparkling with a smile, and said kindly and warmly, "Mei, have you forgotten? When I was little, I visited your house, and you loved Japanese tea and sweets the most. I even held you in my arms."

Mei was slightly taken aback. Strictly speaking, Cocolia and her father, Raiden Ryoma, were colleagues and both served Anti-Entropy.

So, Mei did meet Cocolia when she was little. In her memory, Cocolia was different from her serious and earnest father. She was a very loving and kind older sister who even hugged Mei and gave her her favorite dessert.

But who would have thought that the older sister who took care of her back then would actually frame her father and send him to prison?

The thought of her past friendship with Cocolia, only to be betrayed, made Mei's face grow increasingly gloomy, and her heart burned with a raging fire.

Don't try that on me!

Mei pushed away the tea and desserts that Cocolia had placed in front of her and said without any politeness.

“I know everything about your conspiracy.” Mei said coldly, her face as cold as ice. “You actually sold the ‘Godfather,’ who had the ‘berserk’ defect and was sealed in a laboratory, to someone else. Aren’t you afraid that things will be exposed and you will be retaliated against?”

Cocolia lifted her slender, fair right leg and placed it on her left, gently swirling her wine glass in her hand, and said leisurely, "I sold 'The Godfather' to them, they're more than grateful to me, how could they possibly retaliate against me?"

Chapter 198 Money gone, can be earned again. But if you lose your conscience, you can earn even more money.

The spacious guest rooms are decorated in a classic and luxurious style. Antique porcelain is displayed on a rustic wooden table, and a beautiful red carpet is laid on the floor. Dim lighting shines on the wooden furniture, creating a tranquil and elegant atmosphere.

At the glass table in the living room, a girl with black hair and purple eyes sat opposite another blonde beauty.

The black-haired girl's soft, straight long hair cascaded down to her waist. Her soft skin was as white and smooth as jade, and her face was as pretty and charming as a porcelain doll. Her soft, white feet, plump and graceful figure, and delicate and beautiful features all exuded the unique and elegant charm of an oriental beauty.

The other blonde beauty wore a white military uniform and high heels. The slit in her skirt revealed a pair of fair and smooth legs. Her figure was curvaceous and charming, sexy and hot. She was a typical Western beauty.

When Mei heard Cocolia say that she was selling the flawed "Godfather" mecha and that the suckers who bought it would not only not retaliate but would also be grateful to her, a look of doubt appeared on Mei's pretty, fair face, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Those wealthy and high-ranking officials may have money, but they are not fools. How could they possibly swallow this disgusting thought and not settle accounts with Cocolia after buying these defective mechs that could break down at any time?

“Cocolia, I think you’ve gone mad. Do you really think those rich and powerful people are fools who knowingly buy defective products and then swallow their bitterness alone?”

"Miss Mei, do you think those well-dressed guests will give up on buying things just because they know the 'Godfather' will go berserk?"

Cocolia smiled instead of getting angry, swirling a glass of red wine in her hand, her slender, fair left leg resting on her right, making her appear exceptionally elegant and composed.
