Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Fortunately, Hugh Dafelt managed to do this. He bought a luxury house for Red Moon Time in Japan and provided for its upbringing, ensuring that Red Moon Time had no worries about food and clothing.

Unfortunately, fate intervened, and Britannia declared war on Japan, throwing Tokyo into chaos.

In this situation, money alone is not enough. Moreover, as Hugh Dafelt's lover, Akatsuki Shikie was extremely conflicted. She couldn't trust the Britannians, and at the same time, she was afraid that if the Japanese found out her identity, they would harm her two children.

Finally, the slightly more sensible Naoto Kurenai came up with an idea, which allowed Tokiko Kurenai to use the name of Hugh Dafelt to hide in the consulate area and even enter the consulate of the Chinese Federation.

Undoubtedly, the name of Hugh Dafelt was still very useful at the consulate of the Chinese Federation. At least the people here provided complete food, clothing, and lodging, and did not ask Hongyue Shijiang for a single penny.

However, although Akane Toki lacked common sense about scheming and intrigue, she still knew that the other party was also after Hugh Dafelt's name. Therefore, Akane Toki's only hope now was that Karen's father could arrive in Japan as soon as possible to bring her and her two children a sense of security.

When Akatsuki Tokiko spoke, Karen and Naoto turned around. Upon seeing this, Akatsuki Naoto immediately jumped up, wanting to take the tray from his mother.

However, Karen rolled her eyes at her mother and said angrily, "Eat, eat, eat! All you ever think about is eating! Why do we have to stay in this tiny place? Where's Dad? Why doesn't Dad come to take care of us? He really doesn't want us anymore!"

Although Karen is ten years old, children in this world cannot be judged by conventional standards.

To give a few examples, ten-year-old Suzaku Kururugi killed his father, ten-year-old Lelouch vowed to destroy Britannia, and four years later, ten-year-old Emperor Jiang Lihua would also pledge her life to Li Xingke. It can be seen that children in this world are very precocious. Therefore, it seems very normal for ten-year-old Kallen to be a little sensible and rebellious.

"Japan is being invaded, Mom. We're sitting right here, why is Dad's country invading us, Mom? Tell me!"

These words had been bottled up in Karen's heart for some time, only held back by Naoto's persuasion. However, it seemed that the stifling atmosphere in the courtyard these past two days was becoming unbearable for Karen.

Jiang stared in disbelief at the red moon, his eyes filled with sorrow.

As a mother who deeply loves her child, how could she not be aware that something was wrong with her child's psychology?

However, taking care of two children, building a warm home for them, and ensuring their healthy growth without worrying about food and clothing had exhausted all of Hongyue Shijiang's energy. She was just an extremely ordinary woman, whose only advantage was that she was much more beautiful than the average person, which caught the eye of a nobleman named Huddarfelt.

However, it is completely beyond her ability to care for both her children and national affairs.

"Karen...I...your father, he will definitely come, but it's wartime now. He will definitely come back when the war is over!"

"The war is over..."

Karen looked at her mother in disbelief and said, "Mom, what do you mean by 'the war is over'? Do you hope Japan defeats Britannia, or Britannia defeats Japan?"

"Your father's country is invading our country. Which side do you hope will win?"

How could Hongyue Shijiang possibly answer such a question?

For her, this problem was unsolvable.

For Kallen, the answer is also unsolvable.

That's why Karen was depressed.

She rarely saw her father, who was Britannian. His country was attacking her own, and Japanese people were dying at the hands of Britannians. This filled young Karen with unspeakable resentment.

She wasn't trying to make things difficult for her mother, but rather to vent her anger. Unfortunately, her mother simply wasn't capable of answering her questions.

Karen pursed her lips, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She stood up and roared at her mother, "Mom, you're a useless woman! You can't even keep Dad by your side, and now you're just making us live in this little house!"

"Mom, I hate..."

"Snapped!"

Before the furious Kallen could say anything more, Naoto suddenly rushed to her side and slapped her.

A crisp sound echoed in the courtyard, followed by a series of cracking sounds. It turned out that the tray in Hongyue Shijiang's hands had been knocked over because she was too shocked.

Two dishes and a soup, along with three bowls of rice, were thrown on the ground and mixed together.

The courtyard was deathly silent.

Naoto's hands trembled. At eleven or twelve years old and somewhat sensible, Naoto had only intended to persuade his younger sister, but in a moment of excitement, he resorted to violence.

Unlike his younger sister, Naoto Akatsuki fully understands his mother Tokie Akatsuki's hardships. He has witnessed Tokie Akatsuki's struggles firsthand, and for Tokie Akatsuki, his mother and sister are the most important family members.

Karen, however, was a little different. At this time, besides loving her mother and brother, Karen also had a lot of love and expectations for her father, who, although she didn't see him often, was very present and could support the family's extraordinary life.

Unfortunately, if everything had unfolded as depicted in the original story, Japan would have become Area 11, marking the beginning of Kallen's growing despair regarding the surname Huttafeld. After Naoto Akatsuki's death in the war against Britannia, Kallen completely abandoned the Huttafeld surname, identifying herself as Japanese and severing ties with Britannia.

But right now, for Kallen, Naoto Kurenai's slap has also filled her with despair.

Her mother was incompetent, her father was far away, and even her only kind brother slapped her. How could she accept this?

Karen covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.

"I hate you, I hate both of you!"

After saying that, Karen stepped on the food on the ground and ran out of the courtyard.

"Karen!"

"Karen!"

The mother and son exclaimed in surprise, but Karen's athletic ability was naturally strong, and the two of them didn't even have time to react.

Hongyue Shijiang was also hit so hard by the sudden blow that her vision went black and she collapsed to the ground.

"Mom, Mom, what's wrong!"

Naoto quickly checked on Tokie's condition, while Tokie nudged him, saying, "Quick, Naoto, go find your sister. This is the Chinese Federation consulate; she can't wander off like this, or she'll anger the officials of the Chinese Federation!"

"Go find your sister, apologize to her, the three of us... we can't lose any of us!"

"Okay, Mom, you rest for a bit, I'll go right away, Mom, wait for me to come back!"

After saying that, Naoto Akatsuki took off running. His athletic ability seemed to be no weaker than Karen's. As a self-reliant and outstanding child, physical exercise was also part of his daily routine.

Driven by instinct, Naoto Akatsuki chose a direction and gave chase.

Although this is a consulate, it is not located on the mainland of the Chinese Federation. The consulate is not very large, and there are not many people inside.

Especially during wartime, many soldiers were ordered to go out and contact Chinese Federation members abroad, while those who had nothing to do stayed in their rooms and did not come out, making the entire consulate seem empty.

Therefore, Karen's struggling cries could be heard from afar and reached Naoto Kurenai's ears without being drowned out by the noise.

"Let me go, you bunch of bastards!"

028 Double Kill with Exploding Eggs

"Let me go, you two bastards!"

Karen was being held in the hands of two soldiers from the Chinese Federation. The two burly men, each over 1.8 meters tall, were easily capturing the little girl who was only 1 meter tall. They each grabbed one of her arms and lifted her up, leaving Karen's toes, which were kicking wildly, 50 centimeters off the ground.

"I'll kick you to death, you two bastards! What right do you have to arrest me? What right do you have?!"

Karen was furious, seemingly without any fear; in her eyes, the two burly men were nothing more than targets to kick and beat.

This was also due to custom. Although Karen was considered an illegitimate child, Hugh Dafelt's power was such that just the title and countless riches were enough for Karen to become a true heiress.

Since birth, Karen has received a formal elite education. If she hadn't been fatherless and had no one to discipline her rebelliousness, and if she hadn't had Naoto Kurenai as a role model for crazy children, Karen might have really become a sickly young lady.

However, Karen is now a lively and fearless young lady.

In contrast, Karen was not afraid of the two guards, and the two guards were not afraid of Karen at all; their faces were gloomy.

Behind them was a banquet prepared by the Grand Eunuch Gao Hai himself, and just now, the order came down to start serving the dishes.

Now that all the dishes have been served, everyone has stepped back to wait, leaving only the two of them as guards to await the arrival of the Grand Eunuch Gao Hai and the guests.

When it comes to hospitality and banquets, the Chinese Federation is undoubtedly the most meticulous in the world. And in the current situation, according to the traditional customs of the Chinese Federation, the guests may have already entered the gate and will be seated within three to five minutes.

At that time, a table full of delicious food will be ready to be enjoyed.

This is one of the most refined forms of hospitality in the Chinese Federation, indicating that the Grand Eunuch Gao Hai was entertaining a very important guest, or at least someone of equal rank to the Grand Eunuch Gao Hai.

What does this mean?

This has different meanings for everyone. For a head chef, it requires perfection and the use of their best skills; for a maid, it requires focus and diligence, without making the slightest mistake...

As for the two guards at the gate, they had to ensure the safety of the banquet for the next three to five minutes, and that not even a fly could get into the banquet.

Otherwise, a single fly could cost them both their heads!

The two men were both seasoned veterans, so naturally they couldn't let anyone in. However, just now, they heard a slight disturbance inside.

The two quickly opened the door and were dumbfounded.

Although this banquet followed the same format as the Chinese Federation, the dishes on the table were all Japanese and Britannian. One of the main dishes was an eight-flavor pizza, the masterpiece of the most senior chef from a popular Japanese pizza chain.

One pizza has eight flavors, and each flavor is distinct from the others without any conflict or repetition. It can be said that the price of this pizza is more than half a year's salary for the two guards.

However, this pizza...

But it vanished without a trace!

Only an empty plate remained!

how can that be!

All the doors and windows were tightly closed, and could only be opened from the outside. The only open door was guarded by the two of them. And just like that, the pizza disappeared into thin air.

Have they disappeared without a trace?

This isn't some kind of mythological drama!

The two guards felt like the sky had fallen. They could afford to pay for a pizza, but the Grand Eunuch Gao Hai and his distinguished guests were about to arrive. Did they want their guests to see an empty pizza plate?

This is absolutely a capital offense!

Even if this crime isn't on the list of capital offenses, if the Grand Eunuch Gao Hai is unhappy, aren't the two of them still doomed?

How to do!

What should I do!

Their minds are in complete chaos right now. What should they do to make amends for their mistakes and remedies?

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached. The two exchanged a glance and rushed out. One of the guards bumped into Karen.

A smell of food wafted from Karen, the smell of food scraps she had stepped on.

"Ouch, that hurts so much! What are you two doing? Can't you watch where you're going?!"

Karen bumped into someone, and the villain accused her first. However, the two burly men looked at Karen and swallowed hard.

Karen felt uneasy under the gaze of the two burly men and hurriedly stood up to run away, but she was grabbed by the two quick-thinking guards and lifted into the air.

"Let me go! Let me go! You two bastards, why are you grabbing me!"
