But how did the green-haired woman next to Mo Mo, who was dressed like a noblewoman, get in?
He led Karen into Momo's room, and then in an instant, three more people appeared beside Momo. Was this some kind of magical transformation?
His consulate had a guard of over a hundred people, but now it was like a sieve. How could Gao Hai not be furious?
With such incompetent subordinates, is Gao Hai actually facing a life-or-death crisis every moment in this consulate?
This made Gao Hai furious and secretly wary of Mo Mo's power.
Of course, if Gao Hai knew that CC had actually been living off the consulate for a long time without being discovered, he would probably faint from anger.
Gao Hai's face was gloomy. He didn't know exactly how Mo Mo had done it, but that was no longer important. What mattered was that Mo Mo was able to do all of this.
This is Momo's method.
Power is not just about rights and intrigue; often, sheer force can solve far more problems. And right now, Mo Mo is demonstrating his own force, his own power.
And Gao Hai's methods—are now in Mo Mo's hands.
Karen was sent by him to tarnish Momo's reputation, to leave a stain on Momo's name, and to give himself a handle against Momo.
However, looking at Karen's somewhat shy appearance and the ring on her left middle finger, Gao Hai was certain that this girl, who should have resented and sought revenge on Mo Mo, had now been won over by Mo Mo.
In this way, what he did last night was no longer a frame-up, but rather a good deed that boosted Mo Mo's power.
If Karen truly doesn't blame Momo and instead falls for him, it's foreseeable that Momo will have another connection to the Hughtafelt family in Britannia. Although Karen is only ten years old, Momo looks no more than fifteen or sixteen.
The two of them... clearly have the patience to wait, and there's absolutely no rush.
Gao Hai gritted his teeth. Had all the things he had done actually helped Mo Mo gain strength?
Details...
Good morning, Mr. Gao.
Mo Mo walked over step by step, seemingly unaware of Gao Hai's unpleasant expression. Gao Hai remained silent for only a second before forcing a smile and saying, "Good morning, Lord Qilin."
Gao Hai was a powerful eunuch. Eunuchs shouldn't have their own feelings. No matter what bitterness or resentment they had, they had to keep it all to themselves. Otherwise, Gao Hai would have died in the Forbidden City when he was still a lowly eunuch.
However, Gao Hai was still unwilling to give up. He shifted his gaze to Karen and said, "Miss Hugh Dafelt, it seems you have finally gotten what you wanted. I think your mother and brother will be happy for you."
Gao Hai wore a forced smile, but his smile was unusually gloomy.
Karen shuddered and instinctively tried to back away, but Momo grabbed Karen's hand, and the warmth of his palm gave Karen strength.
Especially when she felt a slight chill from the ring on her left ring finger, Karen's fear lessened considerably.
Facing Gao Hai, facing this perverted eunuch... she was not alone; Mo Mo was by her side, Mo Mo was her support.
Moreover, Karen thought of her brother and mother, who might still be unconscious due to the drugs. Only if she was brave enough to stand with Momo and confront this despicable eunuch head-on could her brother and mother be safe.
Thinking of this, Karen raised her head expressionlessly. Unlike Mo Mo and Gao Hai, who could easily display ten different fake expressions in a minute, all she could do was maintain a firm gaze.
“Yes, Your Excellency. I…I’m engaged to Momo, thank you.”
Karen practically gritted her teeth as she spoke, but her small eyes looked fearlessly at Gao Hai, even though her hands were tightly gripping Mo Mo's and trembling slightly.
Gao Hai's face darkened, and after exchanging a glance with Karen for a second, he understood what was going on.
As expected, things turned out the worst he had imagined.
The methods he used to tarnish Momo's name became a complete joke. Not only did he send Karen and the Hugh Dafelt family to Momo's side, but he also incurred Karen's hatred.
This made Gao Hai's frustration almost explode.
However, it was just frustration.
He was a high-ranking eunuch, one of the highest-ranking eunuchs in the Chinese Federation. Despite being ostracized, he was not afraid of a noble family in Britannia, let alone a little illegitimate daughter that the noble family did not even want to acknowledge.
Gao Hai stopped dwelling on the matter, grinned, and said, "This is truly something to celebrate. Although Miss Hugh Dafelt is still young, she is so decisive. The two of you will surely become a beautiful story, and I believe Miss Karen's family and father will agree with everything."
Seeing that Gao Hai was not aggressive, Karen was slightly taken aback. Momo had already told her about Gao Hai's only possible reaction, but Karen thought that Gao Hai would be more likely to threaten her with a fierce and menacing look.
However, Gao Hai's reaction was exactly the same as Mo Mo's. Although Karen couldn't understand the twist in the conflict, she was now certain that she was safe.
Not only her, but her mother and brother are also safe.
According to Momo, Gao Hai will definitely give up his confrontation with Momo. Therefore, as long as Karen is by Momo's side, Gao Hai will definitely not deal with such a small child as Karen alone.
With Karen safe, Gao Hai certainly wouldn't target Karen's mother and brother, because targeting Hong Yue Shi Jiang and Hong Yue Zhi Ren would be pointless and would only make Karen, who was close to Mo Mo, a mortal enemy of Gao Hai.
Gao Hai was a cunning and ambitious person. A characteristic of ambitious people is that they are willing to sacrifice the present for the future.
For the sake of his future ambitions, Gao Hai would never risk a blood feud with Karen or Momo just to vent his anger for the moment.
Gao Hai's next words proved this point.
"However, when Miss Hugh Dafelt and Lord Qilin are deeply in love, don't forget this humble matchmaker. When Miss Hugh Dafelt comes of age, I wonder if I will have the opportunity to be the officiant at your wedding?"
Karen stared in astonishment at Gao Hai; his shamelessness was beyond her comprehension. According to Gao Hai, Karen shouldn't hate him at all; on the contrary, she should thank him.
How can a person be so shameless!
Just as Karen was getting emotional, Momo reached out and patted Karen's head, which helped her suppress her anger.
"That will be a few more years. If Lord Gao is still interested then, we will definitely consider it."
"Karen, didn't you say you were going to tell your mother and brother the good news? Shall we go now?"
Karen was taken aback, then immediately realized what was happening, her eyes instantly reddening as she nodded. However, she still looked at Gao Hai; this was the final hurdle.
If Gao Hai nods, it means that as long as she stays by Mo Mo's side and is protected by Mo Mo, Gao Hai will definitely not have any designs on her.
Gao Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile unchanged, and said, "Of course, such good news should definitely be spread far and wide. Why don't we hold a banquet today to properly celebrate Lord Qilin and Miss Xiudafelt's mutual affection?"
"Guards! What are you all standing around for? Quickly escort Miss Karen to deliver the good news to her family! If Miss Karen gets hurt on the way, you'll all be in deep trouble!"
"Also, prepare a banquet tonight and invite as many guests as you can. Today is a great day."
Kaleen was taken aback by Gao Hai's reaction, because Gao Hai not only did not make things difficult for her, but also seemed very enthusiastic, which left Kaleen at a loss.
After all, Karen was still young, and she was far from understanding the schemes of the two shrewd people.
Mo Mo smiled slightly, patted Karen on the back, and said, "Alright, Karen, what are you waiting for? Why don't you go see your mother and brother? Leave the rest to me."
"Also, Yuki, you should come along too, and take care of Karen."
Yuki waved her hand and said, "Leave it to me, my lord."
Karen nodded subconsciously, let go of Momo's hand, and was about to leave when she seemed to remember something, turned around, and hugged Momo's waist.
Momo smiled and patted Karen's head. After a few seconds, Karen let go and ran away without looking back. Yuki and the group of disheveled guards quickly followed.
In an instant, more than half the people were gone, seemingly changing the atmosphere of the scene. The second-in-command eunuch, a minor character, was already covered in sweat, but dared not wipe it away.
He witnessed the clash between Mo Mo and the Grand Eunuch, and he probably wouldn't dare to underestimate Mo Mo again.
Because although Mo Mo in front of me is young, his scheming is... simply terrifying.
The scheme devised by the Grand Eunuch was easily thwarted by Mo Mo, and the fact that he possessed such high-level martial arts skills was truly alarming.
However, to the relief of the second-in-command, it seemed that his own chief eunuch was still a step ahead in terms of strategy.
After all, the Grand Eunuch Gao Hai had just turned a false situation into a real one by improvising.
The plot to frame Momo with Karen is no longer valid, and the initial lie—that Karen was in love with Momo and actively asked the Grand Eunuch to make their relationship happen—has become a reality thanks to Gao Hai's few words.
Next, Gao Hai will use a banquet to let everyone know this.
In this way, at least from the outsider's perspective, Gao Hai really did bring about the good thing between Karen and Momo, and was the matchmaker for the two of them, doing them a favor.
Although the truth of the matter is a completely opposite and dark development, that no longer matters.
Thanks to this favor, at least in front of outsiders, Gao Hai can confidently face Mo Mo with a higher status.
"What a brilliant move, Lord Qilin."
After a few seconds of silence, Gao Hai suddenly uttered a compliment.
"Likewise, Mr. Gao, you are my benefactor in life."
Mo Mo, in turn, flattered Gao Hai, acknowledging the favor Gao Hai had shown him on the surface.

048 A Respectable Mother
The two cunning schemers exchanged fake smiles, yet their smiles appeared genuinely sincere.
"Come, come, Lord Kirin, it's getting late. Let's try some local Japanese breakfast. I'm sure you'll enjoy this new experience."
As Gao Hai spoke, he smiled broadly and gestured for them to proceed.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony, Lord Gao."
Mo Mo followed with a smile, seemingly ignoring CC beside him. It was as if CC's presence beside Mo Mo was a matter of course, and Gao Hai made no attempt to inquire about CC's identity or background.
CC noticed this.
Although there is no shortage of cunning people in this world, people like Gao Hai, who are both skilled in acting and cunning, are all ruthless and cunning figures in CC's thousand-year life memory.
Thinking of this, CC subconsciously glanced at Mo Mo. Could Mo Mo handle someone like this?
However, CC soon realized that she had been overthinking things.
Mo Mo's hand moved from her back as if to her waist, and his index finger gently caressed the sensitive spot on her waist.
He still has the mind to do this kind of thing now, doesn't that mean he's very confident?
Momo, this madman, is also an inhuman being like herself, possessing power that even C.C. didn't know about. Moreover, she has someone as outstanding as Artoria protecting her. Even the power of Code couldn't suppress Momo's consciousness...
From this perspective, it seems that no one in the world poses any threat to him.
fair enough.
CC walked quietly, ignoring Mo Mo's mischievous fingers, and hugged Mo Mo's arm tightly.
Having such a strong and stable long-term meal ticket by his side makes CC feel at ease right now.
As for Artoria, she followed quietly, her knight's sword already sheathed at her waist. Apart from her eyes, which were subtly watching Momo's fingers playing tricks on CC, her steps were firm, and every word and action was that of a knight.
The second-in-command of the eunuchs on the side secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. Mo Mo's subordinates were all so outstanding, and there was not just one such subordinate, but one from Britannia. This Qilin was indeed unfathomable.
He made up his mind that even if Gao Hai and Mo Mo became enemies, he would still maintain respect for Mo Mo, so as not to let his subordinates like him be caught in the crossfire when the big shots fought.
