Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Seeing this, Rollo instinctively wanted to stand in front of Anya to protect her, but Anya pushed him away, saying, "Stop making moves. If they really want to fight, the two of us can't stop them."

"But sir..."

Anya ignored Rolo's actions and stepped forward, saying, "I also wish to relieve Princess's Geass symptoms, but unfortunately, our people can only release Geass. Moreover, this Geass is a continuous effect, which will last for several days before fading away completely."

"But please rest assured, Her Highness will not have any aftereffects. She may be a little confused about her own behavior these past few days."

Facing Marianna, who was using Anya's body to communicate with Momo, Momo said calmly, "Is this a good idea? You're so easily ignoring the tears of our Chinese Empire's princess."

"Right now, Lihua is crying because she has been bewitched by your Geass abilities. As you said, once the Geass effect wears off, she will still cry for what she has done these past few days. Can't you see any of this?"

196 Charles, I'll take your wife.

Marianna opened her mouth slightly, seemingly surprised that Momo would say such a line. After all, her current interaction with Momo was far beyond Marianna's imagination.

"I thought our communication would be more cold and formulaic... I didn't expect Lord Qilin to be such a sentimental person?"

In Marianne's mind, someone who could confront her husband Charles and VV, and even outmaneuver VV, turning him into such a deranged person in just five years, must be at least on the same level as Charles and VV.

If I had to describe him in one word, he would be cunning and shrewd.

Even though it was known beforehand that Mo Mo had no relation to the old man and that his appearance had not changed in five years, suggesting that he had a longevity ability similar to CC, cunning must be Mo Mo's inherent attribute, right?

But listening to what Mo Mo just said, why does Mo Mo seem like a hot-headed young man who's angry for the sake of a woman?

However, Mariana was no ordinary person; she couldn't possibly trust her simple intuition. She knew very well that Momo was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Then, Your Excellency Qilin, is there anything we can do to express our apologies?"

Seeing that Momo showed no sign of letting go, Mariana seemed to give in.

It seems she has no choice but to back down now, otherwise, how can she and Rolo deal with Momo's side on their own? Their reliance is on Geass abilities, but Momo's side can counter Geass abilities. Do they have any other trump cards?

However, Momo did not answer Mariana immediately. Rather than wasting words with Mariana, Momo was more concerned about Jiang Lihua's condition.

The red light in Jiang Lihua's eyes had faded considerably, and her struggles were not as intense as before, but she still looked at Mo Mo with eyes full of hostility and fear, as if Mo Mo had become a monster in her nightmare.

However, with Karen by her side, Jiang Lihua nestled into Karen's arms and stopped shouting. Moreover, it was clear that there was a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if she was wondering about her own situation.

This slight doubt is currently very weak, but it is estimated that it will grow stronger as the Geass effect fades, eventually causing Jiang Lihua's original will to return to its original state.

"Mo Mo, could you use the method we just discussed to help Li Hua?"

Seeing Jiang Lihua's appearance, Karen immediately recalled her own behavior just now. Now, the pain she had suffered back then was a thing of the past; deep regret and relief now filled Karen's heart.

The regret stemmed from her unwarranted hatred and even attacks on Mo Mo at that time. Fortunately, she did not take any drastic actions during that period, which prevented irreversible consequences, and Mo Mo forgave her.

Karen sincerely hopes that Jiang Lihua will recover immediately.

"You've experienced that method yourself; it's not a good approach. I'm sure you've also felt the pain you went through during that time. I don't want Lihua to experience that kind of pain, since her body isn't nearly as strong as yours, Karen. I'm worried it might cause too much damage to Lihua's consciousness."

"So, we'll just leave Lihua in this state. Is this what they call Geass?"

"Don't worry, I have other methods to help Lihua recover quickly. After this matter is resolved, I will have CC remove Lihua's Geass status and send her back to Zhu Jincheng. I believe that as long as Lihua rests for a few days..."

Before Mo Mo could finish speaking, Jiang Lihua, her eyes filled with panic, struggled again, saying, "No, I don't want to go back to the Forbidden City, Karen! Don't let him send me back to the Forbidden City! You're all liars! None of you value me! Teacher, you deceived me! Father, you deceived me too! You all treat Lihua like a tool! I hate you all!"

Mo Mo was taken aback and looked at Karen. Karen, in turn, looked at the dead Mao with resentment and said, "That guy just said a lot of things to break down Li Hua and me, a lot of... bad things about you. And when he came to Li Hua, he probably said a lot of bad things about the old emperor as well."

Although Karen spoke somewhat vaguely, Mo Mo understood what was going on. It seemed that Mao had no sense of contractual obligation and had selectively told Jiang Lihua the truth of the matter.

In other words, Jiang Lihua already knew that her father, the emperor, was involved in this matter, and might even believe that the emperor was using Jiang Lihua as a pawn to scheme against Mo Mo.

Knowing this fact, and knowing that both Momo and the Emperor have suffered a double blow, it's no wonder that Jiang Lihua has become like this. Perhaps the last person she trusts in the world right now is Karen.

"I see..."

Mo Mo nodded. This is a bit difficult.

If Jiang Lihua's hostility towards Mo Mo is due to Geass, then her hostility towards the Emperor is probably even more troublesome, because the Emperor has been smeared by Mao and is unlikely to clear his name for the time being, unless Jiang Lihua is convinced that the matter has nothing to do with the Emperor.

If Momo were to explain to the Emperor that he had given false testimony, it probably wouldn't be too difficult for him to do so.

Unfortunately, Mo Mo no longer intends to feign politeness with the Emperor. Since the Emperor has already taken action in secret, Mo Mo will no longer remain silent.

Moreover, in Mo Mo's opinion, it's time for him to open the final chapter.

With such a useful piece right now, why wouldn't Mo Mo use it?

Thinking of this, Mo Mo looked at Anya in the distance, whose eyes were glowing red. Mariana seemed to sense the light in Mo Mo's eyes and cautiously took a step back, saying, "Lord Qilin, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Mariana's caution, however, earned her a harmless smile from Momo.

"you guess?"

Mariana felt a tightness in her chest—of course, this was just an illusion; in any case, she was currently using Anya's body, and Mariana was essentially dead.

Guess what it is?

Marianna was beginning to regret coming to the Chinese Empire and getting involved in this matter herself.

Just as Momo had thought, Marianne's arrival here, or rather, Anya's being sent here by the Sixth Knight of the Round Table, was due to both chance and inevitability.

The inevitable factor is that VV wants to find another Knight of the Round Table with combat capabilities to assist Mao, in addition to Rollo. The Knight of the Round Table who is still in Britannia is Anya, who has been kept by Charles's side and has not been sent to the battlefield.

So naturally, not knowing that Mariana was hiding inside Anya's body, VV was randomly chosen to assist Mao and help him complete the mission.

Mariana was hidden in Anya's deep consciousness or soul, which is why Mao didn't discover her. Knowing Mao's abilities, Mariana dared not surface in Anya's consciousness again.

Otherwise, if Mao discovers something amiss and VV finds out, Anya's body probably won't survive.

After all, VV had already killed her once, and to ensure the success of their brotherly plan, VV certainly wouldn't mind making sure that Marianna, this dead woman, really died.

Thus, Mariana had no choice but to smuggle herself into the Chinese Empire with Anya, hiding inside Anya's body and being at Mao's beck and call.

However, if Marianne is determined to leave the Chinese Empire, there is still a chance, after all, Mao did not always stay by her side, and he also left at a distance at times.

But at this point, Mariana chose to stay because of her curiosity.

She longed to see Momo in person, to see the man who had given Charles so much trouble, caused VV so much suffering, and made CC so devoted that she changed her mind and was willing to be with him.

However, now that Mariana has met Momo, she regrets it.

She wasn't outmaneuvered by Momo, but the power Momo had previously displayed was enough to terrify Mariana.

Not only is Momo able to counter Geass's abilities, but the purple-haired swordsman under his command also seems to possess bizarre abilities. In just a few seconds, he pierced the throats of nearly twenty people, which is something Mariana could never have imagined.

Moreover, Mariana also discovered Momo's Geass ability. After all, she had just been hidden in Anya's consciousness in a deep consciousness mode, thus avoiding being affected by Momo's Geass ability. She witnessed Anya and Rollo's confusion lasting for several seconds.

This familiar scent made Marianna realize that Momo possessed this ability to create widespread chaos.

Faced with Momo, who possesses powerful Geass abilities and the ability to counter Geass, and Momo's subordinate, the Absolute Sword Yuki, Mariana truly lacked the courage to resist.

Marianne had naturally made many preparations, but now she dared not reveal them. Instead, she ordered Rollo to kill Mao directly, ensuring that no confession would leak from Mao's mouth.

In this way, Marianna was prepared to argue with Momo to the maximum extent possible, hoping to ensure her own safety without provoking Momo, while also ensuring that Momo would not implicate Britannia because of today's incident.

Otherwise, her and Charles's plans would inevitably be greatly affected.

However, Momo's reaction was completely unexpected by Mariana. The confrontation she had anticipated with a cunning old fox did not occur, and Momo, who had just been so angry, was now grinning and joking.

This left Mariana completely baffled as to what Momer would do next.

Just as Mariana was racking her brains, trying to figure out how to deal with Momo, Momo spoke again.

"I figured you wouldn't be able to guess anyway, so I might as well just tell you directly."

“I’m furious about what happened today, extremely furious. You should never have laid a hand on the people around me. So, in return…”

A hint of amusement crept into Mo Mo's eyes as he said, "I'll accept Charles's wife for now."

197 Anyone who calls me a lolicon again, I'll fight them!

Upon hearing this, almost everyone except Yuki, who also knew Mariana's identity, was stunned.

Marianne looked surprised, while Rollo beside her looked at her suspiciously, as if he was thinking of something.

It seems that Rollo definitely didn't know that Mariana was hidden inside Anya's body. Therefore, when he heard Momo's words, his first reaction should have been confusion. He wondered how Momo could refer to Anya, a fifteen-year-old girl, as Charles's wife.

When did the Sixth Knight of the Round Table become Charles's wife?

However, judging from Rollo's suspicious gaze, it's clear that Rollo has thought of something, something not so healthy.

Hmm, Rollo understood immediately. As expected, Rollo isn't just an innocent little boy; he's someone with a story.

Mariana was surprised for a few seconds, but didn't seem too surprised that Momo had revealed her identity.

"So you knew me after all."

Clearly, Marianne had learned a great deal about Momer from Charles, including the powerful intelligence capabilities she demonstrated when Momer made his deal with VV.

Or rather, it can no longer be called intelligence ability; it's the ability to know everything. Such an ability might even be interpreted by Mariana's side as some kind of precognitive ability.

In any case, Mo Mo has shown quite a few strange and unusual abilities, and there seems to be an increasing trend. So, it doesn't seem unreasonable to use one's imagination to add a few more abilities to Mo Mo's side.

Marianne's words were practically an admission that Momer had just said she was Charles's wife. Yuki, who knew of Marianne's existence, was alright, but the other three, unaware of all this, were utterly bewildered.

Karen seemed to understand something, then looked disgusted, probably because she was disgusted that Charles was also a lolicon.

Jiang Lihua looked at Anya with a hint of resentment in her eyes, as if she was thinking about why Mo Mo couldn't control lolis like Charles.

As for Rollo, he took a step back from Anya without any apparent reason, then adopted a somewhat respectful posture. Just now, he had only treated Anya as a superior of the Knights of the Round Table, but now, it was clear that he had come to regard Anya as a future member of the royal family.

This should have been an awkward situation, but unfortunately, the person in question is Mariana, not Anya. Mariana, being a shrewd person, naturally wouldn't feel embarrassed in such a trivial matter.

“Since you know what I mean, let’s be frank. All of this was done by VV today, and I can tell you that clearly. It has nothing to do with Charles.”

"Even if it has nothing to do with Charles, are you going to tell us that it has nothing to do with you either? In any case, you were all involved in this operation. Oh, by the way, Rollo, you also injured a member of the Imperial Guard of our Chinese Empire, which is a capital offense, you know?"

Rollo remained expressionless, while Mariana smiled and said, "Although we did take action, there's no regrettable ending, is there? We just facilitated your relationship with Miss Karen, and at the same time, we let you know what kind of attitude your Chinese Emperor has towards you."

"Can't all of this offset the good and the bad?"

Karen glanced furtively at Momo, who smiled slightly and said, "Karen is my fiancée, why do I need you to arrange it? Besides, no matter what the Emperor's attitude towards me is, I am a citizen of the Chinese Empire, and I must consider the interests of the Chinese Empire."

"Oh my, I never expected that His Excellency Qilin would be such a loyal subject who is devoted to the emperor and loves his country. I thought that the name of the Chinese Empire would change hands sooner or later."

"How could that be? The Chinese Empire is now under the rule of the Chiang family, and next it will belong to Lihua."

Mo Mo said he had no interest in the throne and assured Jiang Lihua that she would succeed him. However, Jiang Lihua seemed to have no respect for Mo Mo at all, saying, "No... I don't want to! I don't want to be the emperor, I don't want to stay here anymore, you are all liars!"

Jiang Lihua was clearly still a long way from relieving the effects of Geass, and her sudden interruption seemed to render the pretense between Momo and Mariana meaningless.

Marianne sighed and said, "It seems that Your Excellency intends to keep me here no matter what? In fact, even if you keep me here, you won't get anything in return from Charles. Although I know he values ​​me, we have things more important than our lives."
