Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"If you intend to use me to threaten our dreams, I regret to inform you that you are wasting your time."

“No, no, no,” Momo waved his hand and said, “From the very beginning, I have had no interest in your plans whatsoever. Whether you succeed or not is none of my business. Someone will naturally stop you when the time comes.”

"The reason I'm keeping you here is something I can tell you right now."

Marianne was taken aback. She and Charles had guessed countless times about Momo's purpose, but Charles clearly told Marianne that Momo was indeed not interested in their plans.

Charles couldn't tell Marianne about the existence of the trading power, but because he knew the general details of the deal between Momo and VV, he could guess that VV's current deranged state was because he ensured that Momo wouldn't interfere with their plans, and was willing to jump into the trap Momo had set.

However, precisely because Marianne didn't know from Charles why Momer wasn't interested in their plan, she initially had doubts about Charles's judgment. But after seeing Momer with her own eyes today, she felt that Charles's words made a lot of sense.

It is very likely that Momo foresaw their failure, so he is not worried at all about the impact their plan would have on the world.

This made Mariana's heart clench.

Now that she's dead, fulfilling her dream with Charles was practically her last obsession. But now, a guy who seems to have precognitive abilities is watching everything unfold with amusement, having foreseen their failure.

This could not help but cause Mariana great distress.

Momo is indeed too dangerous. I should have known better than to provoke him today and instead focused our efforts on anyone who might interfere with our plans.

Mo Mo... if they can't afford to mess with him, can't they at least avoid him?

Now, hearing that Momo wanted to keep her here, Mariana was both angry and annoyed. When had she, the brilliant Mariana, ever suffered such humiliation?

VV simply shot her to death with a machine gun; he never humiliated her.

However, on the surface, Mariana remained calm, her tone still carrying the elegance of a nobleman, and said, "Your Excellency may speak frankly, I am all ears."

“Don’t worry,” Momo seemed to see through Mariana’s anxiety and said, “My interest in you as a person is far less than my interest in your current body.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Luo's eyelids twitched, Karen frowned and glared at Mo Mo, while Jiang Lihua looked at Mo Mo with even more resentment.

Momo couldn't help but cough, seemingly having inadvertently said something that could be easily misunderstood. He was simply giving an example to illustrate that he had absolutely no interest in Marianne, Charles's wife, especially since she was only in a spirit form.

Why was it misunderstood like this?

What about the most basic trust between people?

Mo Mo isn't a lolicon!

Compared to Anya, who is a cute, emotionless pink-haired loli, Momo had absolutely no interest in Marianna, who is treacherous, cunning, selfish, and self-serving. Is there anything wrong with that statement?

"I see."

Mariana, standing in the distance, seemed quite surprised. She turned to look at Karen, then at Jiang Lihua, then looked down at herself, and finally spun around in a circle.

“If you are interested in someone like me now, it is not impossible to consider it. Neither Charles nor I are people who care about details. Besides, you are not interested in me, but in Anya.”

Mariana's words subtly revealed her secret, but unfortunately, only Momo, Mariana, and Yuki could understand them. As for others who were unaware of the truth, they could only focus on the first half of the sentence.

Judging from this, Anya doesn't deny her relationship with Emperor Charles, and now she's even making deals with Momo... dirty flesh trade.

Even the ruthless Rollo couldn't help but frown, after all, this was a dark realm for him.

Hearing this, Karen could hardly hold back anymore and said, "Momo, don't be like this! If you really can't help it... I can stay with you. I'm still... I guess I'm a loli, right?"

Loli my ass! You're way past your expiration date!

Oh wait, that's not the point!

Momo rolled her eyes, then saw Mariana's ambiguous smile. Sure enough, this woman was doing it on purpose, at least to embarrass Momo in terms of her aura and then gain some comfort.

She was indeed a very strong woman; perhaps only someone with such a personality could have earned Mariana the nickname "Shining Star."

Why is there such a big difference between her and Asuna, who is next to Momo, even though they are both Flashy Flashes?

Sigh, it's really tough on Lelouch and Nunnally. They have such a domineering mother, a tough father, and a crazy uncle.

"Alright, stop trying to provoke me, Marianna."

Momo decided not to argue with Mariana anymore, otherwise he would be destined to carry the label of "lolicon" forever.

"I kept you here for only one reason: VV has made such a big splash on my end, and I have to respond no matter what."

"I'll tell Charles later that if he wants you back, I only have one condition..."

"Exchange VV's head for it."

Why run away? We'll have to come back anyway.

Mo Mo's voice wasn't loud, but the content was so explosive that everyone present, who knew even a little about the subject, was shocked by the sheer volume of information.

First, there's the four words "Mariana" that Momo uttered.

Who is Mariana?

That was the fifth wife of Emperor Charles of Britannia, and formerly the sixth Knight of the Round Table. A woman of commoner origin who rose to become a Knight of the Round Table through her own talent, her strength even surpassing that of the current First Knight, Bismarck, a woman who made the muscular Bismarck feel inferior.

Moreover, when Charles was struggling to ascend to the throne, the world-shaking Blood Emblem incident in Britannia was orchestrated by Marianne, who ruthlessly slaughtered her way out for Charles, who was in a state of decline.

Unlike other princesses who married King Charles through their looks or status, Marianne relied entirely on her excellence to make Charles, one of the world's most powerful men, inseparable from her.

Marianne's fame didn't just resound in Britannia; anyone in the world who cared about global affairs knew the significance of the name Marianne and the terror of the once-shining name.

Even though Artoria's reputation has grown increasingly prominent over the past five years, the most common description of her is still that she is a woman who rivals Marianne, which shows just how famous Marianne is.

After all, Marianne is now history. If Artoria wants to catch up with Marianne, she'll probably have to accomplish something significant, such as reclaiming Siberia and driving the EU people back to their Europe.

And now, Momo is actually calling this red-haired little girl in front of him Marianna.

Could it be a case of someone having the same name?

Obviously impossible.

Despite not understanding why, Karen and Rollo looked at Anya. If Anya in front of them was actually Mariana, then the conversation between Momo and her just now would make perfect sense.

Anya is actually Mariana, the wife of Charles the Emperor of Britannia. The story involves talking to Mariana about Charles and Britannia.

In this way, everything seemed to make sense.

Meanwhile, Rollo's pupils contracted. As the holder of Geass, although he did not know the specific information about Geass, the thought that Mariana, who had been proven to be dead, had become Anya made him directly understand that such power was the power of Geass.

After all, Rollo knew that VV existed. Since Geass could create such immortal beings and revive the dead in another person, it didn't seem like an incomprehensible development.

Faced with the astonished and suspicious gazes of Rollo and Karen, Mariana fell silent. She had no choice but to remain silent, because Momo's words were tantamount to revealing his trump card.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they've completely broken off relations.

What is the most important thing for Mariana right now?

One reason is Charles and her plans, and the other is her continued survival. The former requires VV, the Code holder, while the latter is inseparable from Anya and the secrecy surrounding her being hidden within Anya's body.

Now, Momo is actually going to keep her here, forcing Charles to kill VV, and even revealing her secrets. Doesn't this mean that Momo is determined to break ties with her?

Momo also saw the anger hidden beneath Mariana's calm expression. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so tense, Mariana."

"All I want is VV's head. That guy has schemed against me more than once or twice. CC did it once, and today is the second time. Although they say things shouldn't happen more than three times, I can't take it anymore."

"Am I supposed to just wait for the crazed VV to continue making moves and targeting the people around me? Everyone around me is a treasure to me. If VV dares to touch my treasures, she should be prepared to pay the price."

As she spoke, Mo Mo secretly winked at Jiang Lihua. Jiang Lihua, who had been secretly watching Mo Mo with a confused and bewildered look in her eyes, but still couldn't help looking at Mo Mo, buried her face in Karen's chest this time and refused to look at Mo Mo anymore.

However, she still couldn't help but prick up her ears, wanting to hear what Mo Mo had to say. Although at this moment, she still felt resentment and sorrow towards Mo Mo, this also proved that she still had expectations for him in her heart.

"As for your and Charles's plans, they will not be affected by VV's death. On the contrary, VV's death may make it easier for you and Charles to do what you want to do, without the madness of VV as a hindrance."

"Why not do something like this?"

Mariana listened to Momo's words and heard about the seemingly generous terms, but she showed no joy. Instead, she said, "Although I don't know exactly what deals you made with Charles and VV, I can tell from the results that Charles and VV don't seem to have benefited at all."

"So, although your terms are very generous and seem to be completely without any traps, I still dare not accept them. Even though VV and I are mortal enemies, if I could see VV die in despair, it would probably be something that makes me happy."

Momo sighed and said, "So, you disagree with my suggestion? Mariana, are you still planning to resist?"

Mariana smiled slightly, a smile that mirrored Anya's face, a naive slyness that made one want to know more about this mysterious girl and what she was really thinking.

“Even if what you say is true, VV does deserve to die, and I also want him dead, I also know that there are still many things that cannot be done without VV right now. After all, he is the only one who has the technology of Geass and Code, and he also controls the Order. Without his hidden power, Charles’s control over Britannia will be much weaker.”

"Therefore, VV cannot die now, no matter what, even though I believe that Charles values ​​me more than his brother who deceived him, and is even willing to kill VV for my sake."

"But not now."

Mariana's expression suddenly turned cold, and she said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Qilin, I cannot just obediently be captured like this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mariana made a subtle movement, like gently pressing her thumb into her palm. Immediately afterward, a series of "beep" sounds came from all directions, emanating from the bodies of the already dead terrorists.

The true nature of these beeping sounds was immediately revealed: huge bursts of fire exploded from each terrorist's body, countless flames and shockwaves scattered in all directions, along with pieces of flesh torn to shreds, turning the entire factory into a storm of fire and blood.

The violent explosion came too quickly. All Momo could do was protect Karen and the screaming Jiang Lihua. Even though Yuki behind Momo had great strength, she was powerless in the face of the terrifying storm and could not do much.

All she could do was protect Mo Mo from behind, preventing him from being hit by any stray bullets.

However, as the group huddled together, a series of steel barriers suddenly appeared. It was a small metal hut made of special alloy steel, with each side protected by steel more than 50 centimeters thick, and only one heavy-duty security door.

This is the safe house that Momo built in Valhalla. It is a step further than the steel plate defense in the Accelerated World. It can be said that unless you are hit head-on by an armor-piercing bullet, this safe house can basically guarantee your safety.

Sure enough, Momo summoned the safe house from the Hall of Heroes, and countless stray bullets pounded on it, creating a deafening sound like drumming.

Not only that, the factory building seemed to collapse directly due to the violent explosion. A roar like a landslide came from overhead, as if the roof of this floor of the factory building had crashed directly onto the safe house, causing the lower edge of the safe house to be smashed into the concrete floor of the factory building.

The roar came and went quickly, and soon the outside became silent, as if everything had disappeared.

However, soon after, countless screams, explosions, gunshots, and even the roar of tanks echoed from outside again, and these sounds quickly faded into the distance.

Throughout this process, one could faintly hear countless people shouting "Knightmare!"

Knightmare?

Is Mariana preparing Knightmare here?

After thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible. However, if a Knightmare from Britannia really appears here, then how big of a back door has the Emperor opened for Britannia this time?

It's big enough that even the Knightmare from Britannia could squeeze in.

Mo Mo originally thought that the reason why the old emperor was making such an unwise move was mainly because of Geass. But now, Mo Mo suddenly felt that his prediction might be wrong. Perhaps the old emperor was already preparing to make a move, and all he lacked was an opportunity.

Indeed, there are two kinds of people who are the most terrifying in the world. One is the person who has nothing, because having nothing, they have no fear. The second is the person who is about to die; since they are going to die anyway, what is there to be afraid of?

The old emperor, on the other hand, clearly falls into the second category. Perhaps, as he approaches his death, the old emperor is so focused on paving the way for Jiang Lihua that he no longer cares about anything else.

"Mo Mo, what exactly is going on..."

Karen stared in astonishment at the enormous steel building beside Momo. There were even fluorescent lights in the corners, and under the lights were some cabinets and platforms, filled with all sorts of equipment and weapons.

"Oh... I'll tell you later. We have important things to do right now."
