152 Invisible Cracks

Charles's appearance surprised VV, after all, Charles was the emperor and had many affairs to attend to, so he rarely had time to come to VV's laboratory.

After all, VV and Charles work together, trust each other, and rarely interfere with each other's work, which is why they have been able to achieve their current results.

But why has Charles suddenly come here? Does Charles have some dissatisfaction or doubt about his own actions?

In an instant, Marianna's image appeared in VV's mind. This woman, who had been killed by VV and was no longer within VV's consideration, rarely appeared in VV's memories.

But now, the moment he sees Charles, he immediately thinks of Marianne, of the trust and love Charles had for her, and of the way she stared wide-eyed and died with her eyes wide open when he killed her.

Moreover, it seemed that Marianne's shadow was right behind Charles, just like the day he killed her, with Marianne's expression and clothes, as if Marianne had never died, never disappeared, and had always been by Charles's side.

Beside Charles, he smiled, yet stared at her with cold, hateful eyes.

If Mariana were still alive...

A terrible thought lingered in VV's mind. Although she knew it was just a baseless fantasy, she couldn't control it.

VV is not a careless person who doesn't pay attention to details. After killing Marianna, VV personally checked Marianna's body to confirm that she was definitely dead. VV even watched Marianna's cremation from a distance.

Unless Mariana is a Code carrier, she has absolutely no chance of surviving.

The chances of Mariana being a Code Bearer are absolutely zero, because Mariana's Geass was given to her by C.C., and now, C.C. is still alive and well. Mariana did not kill C.C., so she is still just an ordinary Geass Bearer.

Marianna is dead, and she had to die; she died long ago!

This guy who ruined their brotherly relationship should have been dead long ago.

But... why can't I stop feeling this panic?

"elder brother."

Charles's expression was calm, and his voice was equally calm. It was just an ordinary opening line, but it seemed to frighten VV, causing her to take a step back and turn pale.

"Brother, what happened?"

Upon seeing VV's strange behavior, Charles naturally pressed for an explanation, which seemed to make VV a little flustered.

"Ah, no...nothing, nothing happened. Really, Charles, nothing happened."

Charles narrowed his eyes. Anyone could tell from VV's current state that she was lying. This surprised Charles, because VV almost never lied to him.

Apart from the fact that VV killed Marianne, Charles has not found any other evidence that VV lied to him.

This made Charles feel more curious than angry, wondering what had happened to his brother.

"Brother, what exactly happened? Is there something you can't tell me?"

"I already said there's nothing wrong, didn't you hear me!"

But this time, Charles's questioning only provoked VV's anger, as if VV had been caught doing something wrong and was furious.

This left Charles completely bewildered, but VV's attitude caused the calm on Charles's face to begin to disappear.

After all, Charles had long been dissatisfied with his brother, because his brother had not only broken their vow to never lie to each other, but VV had also killed the only genuine affection Charles had for each other by killing Marianne.

VV had long ago destroyed the brotherly bond between the two, and Charles had already secretly broken away from VV's side, joining forces with Marianne to carry out another plan and realize another dream.

It's still about killing gods, but it has transformed into creating a future where everyone can understand each other, rather than a world where no one lies to others.

Yes, that's how immature and willful they are. These two men and one woman, who are causing chaos in the world, probably require a lot of thought from ordinary people to understand the differences in their purposes and the reasons why these two brothers have become enemies.

Charles is currently just playing along with VV. Until he is certain that he can control the power of the Code and realize his and Marianne's plans, Charles will continue to pretend to be VV's good brother.

However, there's a limit to pretending to be a younger brother; after all, Charles is a formidable figure with a temper.

"Brother, we've agreed, haven't we? We can't lie to each other; it's a vow we made. Brother, what happened? Is it something you can't tell me?"

A look of anger flashed across VV's face, and he instinctively wanted to continue his outburst, but this time, he noticed the displeasure on Charles's face.

In an instant, Marianne seemed to reappear behind Charles, smiling as she looked at VV, as if waiting for VV to lash out at Charles, anticipating a rift in the brothers' relationship.

VV calmed down in an instant, but the urge to get angry, complain, and roar still surged within him, an urge that was almost uncontrollable.

"Ahhh!"

With a roar, VV drew a gun from his waist, pointed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet pierced VV's head, causing VV to fall to the ground. Only a stunned Charles remained, with a few drops of blood splattered on his face.

Fortunately, Charles was able to hide his bewilderment with a cold face, but he was also in an awkward situation.

At this moment, should he offer his condolences to his brother VV, who committed suicide, or should he continue to stand there calmly?

Logically, Charles should have made some kind of response, but VV is the carrier of the Code, immortal and ageless, so being shot only puts him down for a minute or two.

Knowing full well that his brother was alive and would soon get back to life, yet still grieving and feeling sorrow for his brother's death... Charles says he simply can't do that!

Fortunately, VV didn't keep Charles in a dilemma for long; he quickly got up, his head covered in blood.

This time, VV was noticeably calmer after her suicide attempt, saying, "Charles, I was too impulsive just now, I'm much better now."

Charles's lips twitched slightly. When did his brother VV develop this hobby? Dying once every now and then to calm down... this hobby is really incomprehensible!

"Ah."

After much deliberation, Charles, who had used every single one of his brain cells, could only manage a soft "hmm."

"I just met with Momo."

Limited by his trading authority, VV could only say this much. Fortunately, Charles had also traded with Momer before, and he understood immediately.

Now I understand why VV lost her composure just now.

What can be said?

Charles immediately pressed for answers, but this time VV was able to remain calm due to the pain from the two bloody holes in his head.

Because VV could not tell Charles the details of the deal, he could only tell him the outcome, revealing a great deal to Charles while minimizing the limitations on his authority in the transaction.

Charles listened with a look of surprise, finally understanding what kind of agreement VV and Momo had reached. His face was gloomy, and after a long while, he said, "Brother, you should have discussed this with me."

"I didn't want things to turn out like this!"

VV seemed unable to suppress her anger any longer and said, "But isn't it good now? We are certain that with my power, we can launch the plan. Strange guys like Momo won't interfere with our plans, and we can avoid conflict with the Chinese Federation."

"Isn't everything good in the end?"

"Since everything is fine, and it's all for our plan, Charles, what are you blaming, blaming your brother?"

Charles remained silent in the face of VV's outburst.

As the fruit of cowardice was an important part of the deal, VV certainly couldn't tell Charles about it. As a result, in Charles's eyes, his brother suddenly became so irrational.

However, seeing VV in this state, Charles knew he couldn't ask any more questions.

“I understand, brother. You did the right thing. After all, this is that guy’s power, a power that even we can’t resist. From now on, as long as we brothers continue to work together, we will definitely achieve our ideal.”

"Isn't that right, brother?"

Hearing Charles's usual tone, VV's throat bobbed, and she managed to say, "Of course, that's right, my brother."

The two brothers looked at each other, their expressions seemingly no different from usual.

……

"Alright, alright, I'm fine now. You all underestimate my strength, don't you?"

Mo Mo regained consciousness and quickly opened her eyes.

At this moment, both Momo and CC had been moved to the bed by Asuna and Argo. CC was still tightly holding Momo's arm, fast asleep due to her confused state of mind, but Momo had already woken up.

Seeing that Momo still had that smiling expression, Asuna and Argo finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they could keep track of Momo's condition through Yui, they were still startled to learn that Momo had suddenly fallen into danger.

Fortunately, the danger is over now.

Soon, Momo told Asuna and Argo what had happened. The two of them didn't react much to the fact that Momo had proposed to C.C.

After all, Asuna had just tried to persuade C.C. to join her side, a witch with great ability and experience. As for Argo, she might be even happier if C.C. joined her.

The two girls' behavior filled Mo Mo's mind with sighs from Yui's voice.

"Mothers have all fallen, Dad, your chastity will probably only be protected by Yui from now on, sob sob!"

"So how do you plan to protect Dad's chastity?"

"That's easy. Daddy will give your virginity to Yui. Yui promises to satisfy Daddy alone and won't let Daddy touch any other woman..."

Momo smiled and ignored Yui's next lines in his mind, then took Asuna and Argo's hands as a gesture of comfort.

Author's Note:

Second update

153 Visible Tenderness

That night, Mo Mo and three others slept together.

There was nothing they could do; seeing Momo facing another crisis, Asuna and Argo simply couldn't bear to leave Momo's side.

Fortunately, Mo Mo's bed was a custom-made large bed when Mo Mo bought the Mo Mansion. It can comfortably sleep four people, or even two more.

Yes, Mo Mo was very prescient.

It was a warm and cozy night.

Although CC hasn't officially become a Heroic Spirit of Momo yet, CC's intentions are clear, which is essentially equivalent to submitting a resume to Momo, the Hall of Heroes. Momo has already passed the interview, and all that's left is to see when CC will switch sides from the world of Code Geass and start working for Momo.

It's just a matter of time, but time isn't an issue for Momo.

That night, CC held Mo Mo's arm tightly. At first, she was in pain from the overwhelming amount of data. But she quickly recovered. After recovering, she seemed to feel the warmth beside her. Without opening her eyes, she peacefully fell asleep next to Mo Mo.

After all, Mo Mo was by her side.

Not only did they have Momo, but they also had Argo and Asuna, gaining even more companions.

CC is no longer a lonely witch. She has someone she loves, someone she has companions, someone she has a place to belong, and even the fate she carried has disappeared.
