On the other side, in an office of a senior executive at Anti-Entropy.
Cocolia had casually tossed her phone onto the table, her expression a far cry from the relaxed and carefree demeanor she had when chatting with the children.
Dr. Möbius's collaboration with Anti-Entropy...
Ah, that's really interesting.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she squinted, her pupils flashing with an unpredictable light.
Looking down at the bustling city below, gazing into the distance, he murmured softly.
“Walter, and…”
"Thunder Dragon Horse..."
Chapter 210 The Duel Disk is Coming?
Cocolia had actually wanted to make a move against Raiden Ryoma for a long time.
There's no other reason than factional disputes.
The Anti-Entropy faction is now clearly divided into two factions: Cocolia and Welt. To gain more dominance, it is natural to support members of one's own faction and suppress members of the opposing faction. Not only Cocolia does this, but Welt has also done it quite a lot.
Of course, Walter wasn't really interested in this kind of thing. He'd rather draw a couple of pages of Homu comics and develop a big robot game than bother with this. But what could he do? He was the faction leader.
With so many people following him, he couldn't possibly just walk away and watch Tesla and the others be suppressed by Cocolia just because he wanted some peace and quiet.
As a general in Welt's faction, Raiden Ryoma was naturally chosen by Cocolia as a target to be eliminated long ago.
A few years ago, she went to the Far East to seek cooperation with the Lunar Capital Group. On the one hand, she wanted to develop her influence in the Far East, and on the other hand, she was eyeing Raiden Ryoma's ME Company, sharpening her knives and keeping a close eye on him.
It wouldn't be difficult for Raiden Ryoma to bring her down. As the head of a large company, she naturally has access to some unspoken rules that everyone agrees to, but these common practices don't mean they are legal.
Normally, with the protection of these powerful councilors, the relevant departments can't do anything about these people. But what if there's another force pushing things along behind the scenes? With the help of Cocolia and the local powerhouse Luna Group, it would be too easy to bring down the Thunder Dragon Marco.
However, what happened later made Cocolia temporarily change her mind, preventing Raiden Ryoma from being imprisoned for economic fraud.
Just as she was about to take action, Raiden Ryoma's only daughter, Raiden Mei, joined her child's Gensokyo Company.
To the children, this was an invitation to their company, a gesture of friendship, but to Cocolia, it was a completely different story.
Nangong Yu and his Gensokyo Company can be said to be inherently part of Cocolia's faction, and they are the kind of people who are absolutely impossible to turn against, the most steadfast supporters.
Lei Dian Longma, fully aware of this situation, sent his only daughter to his own child's company.
Indeed, Raiden Ryoma did not object to Mei's decision; in Cocolia's view, it was essentially the same as if he had delivered it himself.
What is this? It's a pledge of allegiance!
If this were ancient times, they would definitely send their heir as a hostage! Such sincerity naturally dispelled Cocolia's idea of pushing Raiden Ryoma off the cliff. Considering that Mei had a good relationship with her children and they lived together, she naturally didn't want to be the bad guy.
Cocolia was very satisfied with the subsequent developments. Raiden Ryoma's attitude within the group became increasingly ambiguous. He would ignore the struggles between various factions if he could, and even if he couldn't avoid them, he would drag them out as long as possible. He might help Welt a little more, but he mostly remained neutral, becoming the only neutral high-ranking member within the group.
Although she couldn't use them for her own purposes, Cocolia could turn a blind eye for the sake of the children.
But...
What Bronya just said is something worth pondering.
Who is Dr. Mebius?
She is one of the leading scientists at Shencheng Technology and is definitely a high-level executive. It's normal for Cocolia to be unaware of the numerous things she does every day, but she couldn't possibly be unaware of the cooperation with the high-level executives of Shencheng Technology.
The children couldn't possibly lie to her, so the outcome was obvious.
Of all the anti-entropy forces in the Far East, the only one she couldn't touch was ME Corporation.
In her blind spot, Walter and Raiden Ryoma secretly reached a cooperation agreement with Shencheng Technology without her knowledge. What they wanted to do was rather intriguing, and it even required Dr. Mebius to come to the Far East in person.
She didn't care why Raiden Ryoma suddenly changed his attitude; it didn't matter. The moment he did that, he was already on Cocolia's enemy list.
Of course, these things had nothing to do with Nangong Yu and the others. They were the ones who provided the clues, but they slept soundly without a care in the world.
The next day, Kiana got up very early. After washing up, she sat on the sofa with anticipation, her eyes occasionally drifting towards the stairwell.
Not long after, footsteps sounded, and Nangong Yu came downstairs yawning.
Kiana immediately stood up happily and went over without thinking. But after taking a few steps, she saw Bronya staring at her with a half-smile behind Nangong Yu, and she stopped in her tracks.
Kiana, no longer daring to entertain the thought of hugging her, said with an awkward laugh, "Good morning, Bronya, Yu..."
"Good morning, Kiana."
As they were talking, Bronya stepped forward and took Nangong Yu's arm. Kiana's eyes twitched at the sight. She wanted to lash out but didn't dare. She could only give Nangong Yu a wronged look before sitting back down on the sofa with her head down.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Yu felt rather helpless. He looked at Bronya, who also looked at him. Bronya frowned and snorted, then pinched his waist with her little hand, making him wince in pain.
Kiana felt guilty, and Nangong Yu felt even more guilty. Bronya pinched her a few times to calm her down.
Seeing that Nangong Yu didn't resist at all, Bronya pouted in boredom and pushed him toward the sofa: "Go and coax your little lover, I'm going to the kitchen to check on Seele."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu's expression froze slightly. He reached out and pulled Bronya, who had already stepped ahead of him, and after she turned around in confusion, he leaned down and gently kissed her.
The sweet, soft cherry blossoms were only tasted briefly before being released, causing Bronya's face to flush slightly. She reached out and pushed him away.
"I don't need you to fawn over me."
She glared at him, seemingly annoyed but also reproachful, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
However, he could clearly see that Bronya was much happier.
She didn't need to go to the kitchen; she just didn't want to scare Kiana.
Looking at Bronya's retreating figure, he felt a little guilty, but at this point, it was impossible to dwell on other things. So, he didn't hesitate and strode towards Kiana.
"Ah Yu~"
Like a wronged little wife, Kiana curled up on the sofa. When she saw him coming, a surge of joy rose in her heart, but on the surface, she still maintained an expression of extreme grievance. Some things are simply innate for girls.
"Good morning~"
Sitting next to Kiana, Nangong Yu hugged her without ceremony, his hands naturally resting on her waist, continuing to savor the unique touch.
Once hugged like that, Kiana, who wasn't naturally melancholic, couldn't keep up the act anymore. She happily snuggled against him, rubbing against him like a little animal.
She covered his chest and sniffed him like a lovesick woman for a long time before climbing up his body and pouting for a kiss.
In terms of how much she likes to act cute, I feel even Ellie can't compare to her.
Nangong Yu also cuddled with her, enjoying the beauty of the young girl.
Unfortunately, it wasn't long before breakfast time, and Kiana had to part ways with Nangong Yu with a regretful expression.
Kiana sat down at the dining table, yawning all the way. Only then did she notice the fatigue in Nangong Yu's eyes and asked with concern, "Yu, did you not sleep well last night?"
"Huh?... Well, a little."
He was a little embarrassed when this was mentioned.
After resting for so long yesterday afternoon and evening, it wouldn't have been a problem if Hei Xi and Bronya squeezed her again. But the problem was that after they finished, Nangong Yu revealed Kiana's situation.
Then, Seele and Bronya, still furious, showed no mercy to him and didn't stop until the early hours of the morning, leaving him feeling unsteady on his feet.
Before Kiana could say anything, a bowl landed on the table in front of her with a thud. When she looked up, she met Bronya's sharp gaze, which made her shrink back in fright.
With a forced smile, Bronya looked at Kiana and said, "Since you care so much about him, how about letting him stay at your place tonight?"
"Why??!!"
Kiana's face flushed bright red instantly. She clasped her hands together and stammered, "Uh, this...this is too early, too early..."
"It's better not to..."
Before Nangong Yu could finish speaking, he noticed Bronya's indifferent gaze. He immediately looked up at the sky and silently apologized to Kiana.
"Bronya, please stop bullying Kiana!"
Seele's voice rang out, and Bronya gave her a helpless look: "All you do is protect him."
Embarrassed, Xi stuck out her tongue. As she passed by Nan Gongyu, she pinched him as if to punish him, but the soft gesture was more like a coquettish act than a reproach.
On the other side, Mei, holding her breakfast, watched this scene with a bewildered expression.
No, did she sleep for a year?
How come she suddenly couldn't understand the situation at home after just one night?
The little farce ended quickly, and the family members gradually sat down at the dining table. After everyone was seated, Xier looked at one of the empty seats and asked in confusion, "Hasn't Xilin gotten up yet?"
Upon hearing this, Kiana seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly said, "Sirin isn't feeling well, I'll bring her breakfast up right away!"
"Physical discomfort?"
Seele frowned slightly and looked at Kiana with concern, asking, "I heard you and Sirin arguing yesterday, are you really okay?"
"No, it's nothing!! She's just feeling tired and doesn't want to go out. She sometimes does this at home, so don't worry!!"
"Really? That's good."
Kiana breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Seele didn't ask any more questions.
Thinking of Xilin, she suddenly felt a little worried. She wasn't actually tired; she just felt too embarrassed to come down and see Nangong Yu because of what happened yesterday. Moreover, all of this was even related to Kiana.
Aside from the incident with Sirin, the rest of the time was pretty much the same as usual.
Eating, going to work, working.
The only difference from usual was that Kiana was passing by the office much more often.
As a newlywed in the throes of passionate love, Kiana naturally didn't want to be separated from Nangong Yu for even a minute. She would go to Nangong Yu's office whenever she had a spare moment, sometimes "passing by" him seven or eight times an hour, coming in to chat with him about strange topics.
At first, it was fine, but such frequent visits seriously affected his work progress. Whenever he got into a working state, Kiana would come in and chat with him. He naturally wouldn't blame Kiana, but he was somewhat helpless.
And so it went until lunchtime, when Kiana arrived right on time, without even waiting for Mei.
Looking at her expectant and happy eyes, Nangong Yu felt a little reluctant. Considering the stagnant progress of the work, he still forced himself to say, "Um, Kiana, you don't actually need to come to work so frequently..."
"Hey?"
Kiana was stunned, not understanding what Nangong Yu meant for a moment.
Seeing this, Bronya said with amusement, "He means that your coming here so many times is affecting his work, so he wants you to come less often."
"Is that so?! Yes, I'm sorry!!"
She was aware of this herself, but she couldn't help it.
