Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

026 Oh dear, we've found a little girl!

Mo Mo stepped off the plane and immediately spotted Gao Hai's arrival. After all, the clothing of the Chinese Federation was out of step with the mainstream of the world, especially for Gao Hai, who was a eunuch.

However, Chinese style is inherently independent of world styles, a point that Mo Mo is quite proud of.

However, Mo Mo still couldn't accept the aesthetic preferences of these eunuchs from the Chinese Federation, whose faces were covered with at least a centimeter of foundation, each one of them seemingly wanting to look like a white person.

Fortunately, this style is exclusive to eunuchs and not the style of the Chinese Federation. The Chinese Federation has many handsome men, beautiful women, and lolis.

Yeah, you know the key point.

"Dad, Gao Hai is here. He looks preoccupied. What's he up to? Will our identities be revealed?"

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Yui, not at all. Don't forget, it was Gao Hai himself who acknowledged our identities."

"Even if Gao Hai himself agreed at the time, he's now in a difficult position. Are you going to ask him to admit that he helped a stranger impersonate someone and then arranged for that unidentified person to have a face-to-face conversation with Emperor Charles of Britannia?"

"If I were an assassin, no matter how powerful Gao Hai was, he would probably be led to the guillotine for helping me forge an identity."

"So even if he doubts my identity, he will only call me Qilin, and he will also shut up anyone who doubts my identity."

"My ten kilograms of gold are not so easy to obtain."

Yui grinned and said, "Daddy's so naughty, but I like it!"

"Cough cough..."

Hearing Yui's usual confession, Mo Mo coughed twice and said, "Yui, actually, I prefer your simplicity. You don't need to learn these tricks and schemes from your father."

Yui blinked her innocent eyes, tilted her head to look at Mo Mo, and said, "Yui didn't learn anything. Yui can always have her dad. Anyway, having her dad is enough when I do bad things. Yui will always be Yui, hehe."

Mo Mo covered her face because she realized that Yui was still the same innocent Yui, but why could she sometimes see a dark shadow behind Yui?

That's so strange!

"Dad, Gao Hai is here!"

Mo Mo nodded and looked at Gao Hai, but Gao Hai's next move surprised Mo Mo slightly.

Gao Hai addressed Mo Mo with far more respect than Mo Mo had imagined.

Gao Hai bowed to Mo Mo and respectfully addressed him as "Lord Qilin".

The four words "Lord Qilin" left Gao Hai's guards dumbfounded, because they had no idea who the "Lord Qilin" Gao Hai was referring to was or what his position was.

However, given that Gao Hai, one of the most powerful eunuchs, had taken such a step, what should they do? Did they need to think twice?

A group of soldiers immediately knelt before Momo, but because of their light armor, they could only kneel on one knee as a sign of respect.

Mo Mo narrowed his eyes at the somewhat respectful Gao Hai, and his brain immediately began to work.

Gao Hai's etiquette was actually superfluous.

Throughout the entire Chinese Federation, there are very few people besides the Emperor who are qualified to receive their courtesy. Although they are not of high rank, they truly wield power within the Chinese Federation.

Let alone Mo Mo, this Qilin of unknown identity, these powerful eunuchs don't even care about the emperor's royal family, or the legion commanders of various armies in the Chinese Federation, or the warlords.

Of course, if the chief eunuchs followed etiquette, then ceremonial bows would be proper. However, a group of psychologically disturbed chief eunuchs who held great power did not care about etiquette.

They have long since become so arrogant that they are completely open about it and have no intention of hiding it anymore. After all, no one in the entire Chinese Federation can control them.

Especially now, the emperor of the Chinese Federation is still sickly and near death, and he only has a four-year-old daughter, Jiang Lihua.

Given the current state of the Chinese Federation, what is there for the powerful eunuchs to fear? Within the Chinese Federation, who can control them?

Ah, of course, they are afraid of Britannia, after all, they have witnessed Britannia's military strength.

Gao Hai raised his head slightly and suddenly noticed that Mo Mo was watching him. Their eyes met for a moment, and then Gao Hai lowered his head again.

However, this one-second action betrayed him, showing that he was expecting a response from Momo.

So, how should Momo respond?

Mo Mo smiled slightly, and Mo Mo already knew what Gao Hai was thinking about.

People strive for higher positions, especially powerful eunuchs who are physically disabled and have castrated themselves. They naturally have fewer pursuits in life than normal men, so they are more eager to pursue the rest.

Power and money.

Money can be easily obtained through power, especially in an imperial country like the Chinese Federation. As powerful eunuchs, they can always find people to curry favor with them if they want money.

So, in the end, it all comes down to rights.

The emperor's power: the power to rule the entire Chinese Federation, the power to be supported by the entire Chinese Federation, and the power to control the lives and deaths of countless people.

They naturally dared not become emperors, yet they dared to challenge the emperor's power. Perhaps the only thing that could restrain their desire for power was their advancing age; their fighting spirit for power gradually faded, transforming into an expectation of enjoying their later years in peace.

However, Gao Hai is not old at all. It is believed that his experience of living in fear in District 11 will not extinguish his desire for power, but will instead fuel it.

Thinking about this, Mo Mo understood Gao Hai's idea.

Gao Hai regarded Mo Mo as an ally.

Momo made a similar decision.

If we disregard the future of the world, Momo can do whatever he wants in this world, but the problem is, Momo wants to change the entire world.

To change the world, we must start with the Chinese Federation, starting with the Forbidden City in Luoyang.

In this case, instead of Momo personally stepping forward, Momo needs someone to stand in front of him.

Compared to those old, immortal eunuchs, isn't Gao Hai a good pawn?

In an instant, Mo Mo was filled with countless thoughts and decided what to do.

Momo reached out, and a Britannian soldier beside him respectfully handed him a small briefcase.

Gao Hai had been waiting quietly, but when he noticed the briefcase in Mo Mo's hand, his pupils immediately contracted.

He instinctively knew that the contents of that briefcase were definitely of great significance.

Mo Mo's next move also shocked him.

Mo Mo handed the briefcase to Gao Hai.

"Eunuch Gao, now that we're on your territory, I'll leave this to you for safekeeping for the time being. This is related to the future of both the Chinese Federation and Britannia!"

Gao Hai subconsciously reached out his hand, but just before taking the briefcase, he hesitated and looked at Mo Mo, saying, "Lord Qilin, is it appropriate for me to take such a valuable item?"

"What's inappropriate about it? Eunuch Gao is a high-ranking eunuch, the most trusted person of His Majesty the Emperor. How could Eunuch Gao possibly be spying on us?"

If Gao Hai still couldn't understand Mo Mo's meaning, he might as well give up. He had experienced countless similar tests to become the Grand Eunuch.

"Lord Kirin, you flatter me! You are right. It must have been hard for you to protect this document. During the two days that you were resting in Japan, I guarantee that this document will be absolutely safe and sound!"

As he spoke, he handed the document to the guard beside him. The head guard was sweating profusely. The two big shots had made the document sound so mysterious, and then handed it to him. How could he not be nervous?

If he accidentally drops this box, won't his whole family be executed?

However, the guards dared not disobey Gao Hai's orders and could only nervously clutch the briefcase tightly. The guards around them were also on high alert, protecting the briefcase in the middle, and even Gao Hai was ignored.

Gao Hai wasn't angry. Although his brief interaction with Mo Mo didn't involve detailed communication, it had already confirmed their attitudes.

A friendly attitude, an attitude that allows for cooperation.

"Come, come, Lord Kirin, I've already prepared a banquet at the consulate, and it's in a Japanese style. I'm sure you've never tried it before."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

The two chatted and laughed, as if they had become familiar friends in an instant. Behind them was a group of pitiful guards surrounding a briefcase, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They left the airport and got into a private car.

As for who Mo Mo, this Qilin, really is, where he came from, and how much power he wields, that's no longer important.

The special vehicle traveled along the road, escorted by four Britannian Knightmare aircraft. Whether it was because of the Knightmare or because of the extra-large Chinese Federation flag that Gao Hai had hastily made on the roof of the vehicle, they only heard gunfire and were not attacked by anyone along the way.

This made Gao Hai, who was afraid of dying, look a little better. At least for now, the flag of the Chinese Federation was still quite useful.

Japan in the world of Code Geass is incredibly miserable, having the Chinese Federation as its neighbor, it has absolutely no chance to cause trouble.

In the world of Code Geass, the Chinese Federation was the first to enter the Industrial Revolution. After becoming the world's strongest nation in 1630, the Chinese Federation maintained this title for more than 400 years until recent decades when it began to decline again due to systemic problems and the resurgence of the powerful eunuch.

However, even now, the Chinese Federation is one of the world's three poles, far beyond what a small Japan can contend with or even look up to. Respect for the Chinese Federation is deeply ingrained in the hearts of every Japanese person.

"We've arrived, Lord Qilin. This is the consulate. It's a pity it's such a small place; you'll have to make do for a few days. Please come this way; I've prepared a sumptuous dinner for you."

As he spoke, Gao Hai, like a hospitable host, led Mo Mo into the banquet hall. However, upon reaching the door, Gao Hai was dumbfounded.

Two guards at the door lay on the ground, while inside the banquet hall, two children were feasting.

One of them was a beautiful little girl with red hair.

027 Karen

Let's rewind to about ten minutes earlier.

In a secluded courtyard of the consulate, two children looked up at the sky with boredom. The smoke in the sky and the occasional sounds made them look unwell, and the anger and fear in their hearts lingered.

"Karen, Naoto! Dinner's ready! The adults from the Chinese Federation have brought dinner. Come and eat with us!"

A red-haired woman nearing thirty pushed open the gate of the small courtyard. Her face showed deep weariness and fear, but she still smiled kindly when she faced her two children.

If you disregard the dust on the woman's face, she would probably be a very beautiful woman. It's just that she is gradually leaving behind her youth, and the beauty on her face has transformed into the tenderness of maternal love.

The woman's name was Akatsuki Tokie. She had a daughter and a son. Her son's name was Akatsuki Naoto, and her daughter's name was Karen Huddarfelt.

Wait, you're asking why the two children don't have the same surname, or even the same style of surname?

The answer is simple: Karen and Naoto do not share the same father.

Naoto Akatsuki's father, who was also Tokie Akatsuki's husband, died of illness shortly after Naoto Akatsuki was born, leaving behind a widow and an orphan.

Akatsuki Toki is a traditional Japanese woman. Simply put, she is the kind of woman who is gentle and quiet, and after marriage, she will quietly be a wife and mother for the rest of her life. Therefore, Akatsuki Toki is unlikely to have much social ability.

Therefore, one can imagine how difficult the situation must have been for Hongyue Shijiang when she lost her husband and had a crying son to feed.

At this time, Akatsuki Tokie encounters a Britannian nobleman, the young head of the Huddarfeld family, who is traveling in Japan. Huddarfeld, with his romantic spirit, falls in love with Akatsuki Tokie, pursues her relentlessly, and promises to take care of her and her child.

This deeply moved Hongyue Shijiang, who was all alone and on the verge of despair, and she ultimately chose to accept Hugh Dafelt's love.

The Huddarfeld family, one of the eight great families of Britannia, would naturally not allow a Japanese woman, especially one with a child, to become the legal wife of the head of the Huddarfeld family.

After the romance and passion faded, Akatsuki Time had a child with Hugh Dafelt, a daughter named Karen Hugh Dafelt. Hugh Dafelt ultimately failed to fulfill his promise and marry Akatsuki Time; he merely provided Akatsuki Time with properties in Japan and made Akatsuki Time her lover.

However, despite not having any official status, Hongyue Shijiang did not blame Huddafelt, as she had never aspired to become the young mistress of a prestigious family.

All she longed for was for someone to shelter her from the wind and rain, to let her live, and for her children to live well.
