Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The real reason for the exposure was the presence of a huge billboard in the distance of the video. Although it was dilapidated, it became a landmark and gave Britannian intelligence agents a direction to search.

They found the location where Shinichiro Tamashiro filmed the video, then staked out the place and investigated, eventually uncovering their group.

You can't entirely blame your teammates for being too reckless; you also have to admire the opponent's ingenious tactics.

Having grasped the whole story, Naoto Kurenai knew that even without Shinichiro Tamaki, facing such a cunning enemy, his exposure was only a matter of time. After all, many people were already curious about his strange attendance patterns at university.

Therefore, Naoto Kurenai, who was exposed, did not blame Shinichiro Tamaki too much, because Naoto Kurenai felt that being exposed actually made him feel a little more at ease.

At least... he doesn't have to live as a Britannian he finds disgusting anymore, and what he's done so far isn't serious enough to implicate his mother and sister if he's exposed.

Now that he's a wanted criminal, he can live openly and honestly as a Japanese, and then resist Britannia's rule as a Japanese without having to be timid or hesitant anymore.

Thinking of this, Naoto Akatsuki decided to comfort his teammates, saying, "Alright everyone, cheer up. At least now we've escaped Britannia's pursuit. From now on, the slums and old city of Tokyo will be our playground."

Naoto Akatsuki took out a red book and said, "This is 'On Guerrilla Warfare' written by Mr. Mo Mo, the genius of the Chinese Empire. Now that we have the sky's the limit, we can put into practice the truth from the Chinese Empire."

"Our battle has only just begun!"

Naoto Akatsuki's energetic and spirited tone immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned their gaze to the red book in Naoto Akatsuki's hand, and their eyes gleamed slightly.

They all knew about Mo Mo's situation.

They could not learn Momo's ability to build the Chinese Empire, but Momo's war writings, especially the first few versions of the Red Book that circulated in the world, were used as a compass for these rebels in their struggle.

Of course, Naoto Akatsuki never told anyone that Momo was his brother-in-law. Otherwise, people probably wouldn't even have the will to fight and would have directly asked Momo for help.

Naoto Akatsuki knew very well that his brother-in-law would not easily help Japan. Moreover, although five years had passed, while Naoto Akatsuki had to admire Momo's talent and achievements, he still could not get over the fact that Momo had taken Karen away from him.

Five years ago, Karen was only ten years old!

Mo Mo, that damn lolicon!

Second update

165 Soloing the Traitor Camp

Having temporarily reassured his dozen or so subordinates, Naoto Kurenai breathed a sigh of relief. Their current situation was actually quite precarious, as they had no support whatsoever.

In other words, rather than resisting the evil fangs of Britannian imperialism, their first problem to solve was what to eat, drink, and use for this group of terrorists.

In the past, Naoto Kurenai could do many things as an honorary Britannian, but now, it seems that his group can't even leave the slums and the old city.

What should I do next?

As a leader, Naoto Akatsuki began to desperately think about the future, while also considering whether he could ask anyone for help.

But upon thinking about it, he instantly felt incredibly embarrassed.

After all, given Naoto Akatsuki's identity, there are probably very few people in the world more embarrassed than him.

His parents were originally ordinary Japanese people, but after his father's death, his mother, whether out of necessity or love, became the mistress of the head of the Britannian Shudafeld family. He, Naoto Akatsuki, was forced to acknowledge this Britannian as his father and also acquired an honorary Britannian identity.

Unfortunately, Britannia was an empire that invaded Japan, erasing all traces of Japan's name and turning it into Area 11, a place devoid of any dignity.

Her mother had a younger sister with this Britannian, who was considered a pure Britannian. However, this sister, now a Britannian noblewoman, was engaged to Momo, one of the most powerful ministers in the Chinese Empire.

Finally, Naoto Akatsuki, for the sake of Japan's liberation and future, betrayed his cheap Britannian father and embarked on a path of rebellion against Britannia. This also meant that he had fallen on opposite sides of his mother and sister.

At least for now, there is no sign of the relationship between the Chinese Empire and Britannia deteriorating. Resisting Britannia would mean turning against the Chinese Empire.

Thinking about it carefully, Naoto Akatsuki's social circle is absolutely amazing, isn't it?

Having sorted out the above relationships, and considering Naoto Akatsuki's current situation, Naoto Akatsuki is practically fighting his entire life for the cause of Japan's liberation under the pressure of the whole world, and he doesn't ask anyone in his circle of friends for help. This kind of spirit is so strong that it is admirable.

Despite having so many connections, he remained steadfast in his beliefs and pursued his career even when he was all alone. This is definitely the will of a protagonist, and the background and connections of a protagonist.

After all, nowadays, the protagonists who are out in the game need not only to have a strong will, a strong sense of friendship, and the ability to fight, but also to have a powerful backing team. Otherwise, how can they keep the scene in check when facing villains with cheat codes?

He has the will, the ability, and the background; if he were a little luckier, he might even have the potential to become a protagonist!

Unfortunately, this man, who had the hope of becoming the protagonist, realized after thinking it over, that he could only ask his brother-in-law, whom he was not too willing to pay attention to, for help.

Thinking of his younger sister, Naoto Akatsuki, despite trying to maintain the composure of a leader, couldn't help but feel sad inside.

Unfortunately, for Naoto Akatsuki, besides the great cause of liberating Japan, the only other thing left were his two most cherished family members.

His mother was the person he respected most, even though this woman he respected most had given herself to a Britannian for his and Karen's sake, and Britannia was the empire that invaded Japan and gave it the humiliating name of Area 11.

Another one is his younger sister, the sister he cares about and loves the most. Originally, Naoto Akatsuki vowed to protect his sister until she grew up and replace that father who had no value at all—whether it was his own father who had died or Kallen's father who had been missing for thousands of years.

However, the reality is cruel, and Naoto Kurenai is well aware that he has not played a role.

His sister had long since found another source of support, and this support was so strong that it allowed his mother to live a good life, at least a life where she had no worries about food and clothing and did not have to worry about making a living or the future of her children.

Naoto Kurozuki knew very well that his mother was just his father Britannia's mistress, and the fact that she could maintain such a high level of treatment was definitely because of Momo.

Therefore, Naoto Akatsuki's feelings for Momo are very complicated.

He hated, even harbored resentment, towards Momo, who had taken his sister away. But every time he saw his sister, Karen's cheerful smile and perfect growth, and then thought about his own life with his mother, he could only mask his resentment towards Momo with a smile.

Anyway, as long as my sister is happy, that's enough.

Now that he's a wanted criminal, he's completely cut off from the social circle that used to make him feel awkward every second. In fact, this has made Naoto Akatsuki feel much more relaxed. He really doesn't want to get involved with those circles anymore.

Although he felt very sorry for his mother and sister, for the sake of Japan... Naoto Akatsuki could only apologize to his two most beloved people.

"Straight man? Straight man, are you listening?"

Suddenly, Naoto Kurenai heard the voice of his team's vice-captain, Kaname Iori. He quickly responded, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Since you're thinking about this, I'll translate Mr. Mo's work for everyone. Although my Chinese is much worse than yours, after all, you have a younger sister studying in the Chinese Empire."

Naoto Akatsuki nodded. Mo Mo's book was naturally in Chinese, and among them, only he and Kaname Hanabusa could speak Chinese.

"You guys study first, I'm going out for some fresh air and to check out the surroundings."

Naoto Akatsuki decided to be alone for a while. He walked to the window, and after confirming that there were no suspicious people outside, he quietly opened the door.

However, just as Naoto Akatsuki opened the door to say goodbye to everyone, he instantly felt a sense of crisis, followed by a sharp whistle that came from afar.

His pupils contracted, and he immediately tried to close the door again. Regardless of what that shrill sound coming at high speed was, Naoto Kurenai was certain that it was definitely not a good thing.

Closing the door to keep that thing out was just his instinctive reaction.

However, although Naoto Kurenai reacted quickly and even had the help of the protagonist's sixth sense, his speed still couldn't match the power of technology.

A small bullet, about the thickness of two fingers, still managed to slip through the crack in the door, fly over the heads of the crowd, and embed itself in the wall opposite the door.

"boom!"

At this moment, Akatsuki Naoya finally closed the door, but he knew it was too late.

At this moment, everyone realized what was happening and looked at the bullet embedded in the wall. The tail of the spindle-shaped bullet was flashing a faint red light.

The faint red light posed a threat of death to everyone.

"Drip-"

The red light suddenly began to flash rapidly, and a series of continuous beeping sounds also rang out quickly, triggering an alarm in everyone's mind.

"Lie down!"

Naoto Akatsuki roared, and everyone instinctively sprang into action. Just as everyone had dropped to the ground, a deafening explosion rang out, accompanied by a dazzling light that instantly turned the dimly lit room into daylight, so bright that everyone could not open their eyes.

Shock bomb!

Naoto Kurezuki immediately understood what this was!

A stun grenade is a non-lethal hand grenade used to create a strong flash and a loud noise, often used in counter-terrorism operations in enclosed spaces. Once within the effective range of a stun grenade, due to the persistence of vision (the visual cells in the human eye have a certain visual persistence effect), it takes at least 5 to 10 seconds for vision to recover. Without earmuffs, such a loud noise is enough to knock a person unconscious.

Naoto Kurenai had only heard of such weapons before; this was the first time he had faced one head-on.

However, upon first seeing this weapon, a sense of powerless despair rose in his heart.

The image in his mind was still frozen on the moment of the explosion, but in that instant, Naoto Kurenai knew clearly that most of his team members had passed out, with only Kaname Origami and Tamashiro, who had been huddled in a corner, still struggling.

Are there only three capable fighters left?

However, these last three people were still under the effects of the stun grenade. If the enemy attacked at this moment...

"boom!"

A loud crash was heard. The wooden door that Naoto Kurenai had closed was kicked open and knocked Naoto Kurenai to the ground.

Naoto struggled to get up, but the person stepped on the wooden door and pinned him down with such force that he was completely unable to resist.

"Ahhhh!"

"Go to hell!"

Two angry roars came from afar. These were the voices of Senkaku and Tamaki. Senkaku still couldn't see and rushed a few steps before crashing into a chair and falling over. Tamaki, who had been in the corner, had barely regained his sight and launched an attack on the attackers.

"Be careful……"

Naoto Akatsuki struggled to utter the word "be careful." He didn't know who the attacker was, but based solely on the methods used just now, Naoto Akatsuki judged that this person was definitely not someone Tamashiro could handle.

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Cheng rushed over, he let out a muffled groan and was slammed to the ground like a sandbag. It was unclear whether he was thrown down or kicked.

As Naoto Akatsuki was racking his brains for a solution to the current situation, he suddenly felt the weight of the door panel on his body lighten. So, he immediately used all his strength to flip the door panel off and looked ahead.

Ahead, someone stepped directly on Shinichiro Tamashiro's face, deforming and twisting his already unfortunate appearance.

Third update, minimum seven updates guaranteed.

166. What is your identity?

Shinichiro Tamaki also cried out in pain, clearly indicating that the person stepping on him had used considerable force.

"Let him go!"

Naoto Akatsuki barely regained some of his vision and immediately struggled to get up, wanting to rush towards the attacker. However, when he reached the person, he immediately felt a cold touch on his forehead.

Although he couldn't see what was in front of him clearly, the circular tactile sensation made it very clear to Naoto Kurenai.

This is a gun.

The sight of the gun barrel made Naoto Akatsuki stop in his tracks, but the voice of the gunman that followed completely stunned him.

"You are Shinichiro Tamashiro?"
