Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

There is only one possibility for this person: Momo.

The old emperor's fingers moved from Jiang Lihua's face to Mo Mo's face.

"All of this..."

His deep voice seemed to suppress immense anger. The old emperor stared directly at Mo Mo and said, "You did all this on purpose, didn't you? You've been preparing for this for five years, instilling these despicable ideas in Lihua. You've been plotting against Lihua from the very beginning!"

"I was wondering before why you were still unwilling when I was willing to exchange half of the world and Lihua for your support. Now it's all clear. How could half of the world satisfy your appetite? From the very beginning, you planned to start with Lihua, hollow out our Jiang family, and your goal was the whole world!"

"Your goal is the whole of China, isn't it!"

"You are truly a... utter villain! You ruined my relationship with Lihua and your father, and you're the bastard who plans to destroy our Jiang family's empire!"

"I...cough..."

The old emperor wanted nothing more than to give Mo Mo a good dressing down, but he was so overwhelmed with emotion that he suddenly coughed. Gao Hai and Jiang Zhong, their faces ashen, immediately rushed over to check on the old emperor's condition.

Almost all the Imperial Guards looked up at Mo Mo at the same time, their eyes initially filled with confusion and doubt, but which quickly turned into piercing hatred. They were all confidants of the old emperor, and had also undergone Jiang Zhong's brainwashing training, long since becoming beneficiaries and protectors of the Jiang family's imperial lineage.

Now that the Emperor has identified Mo Mo as a villain who has destroyed the Jiang family's imperial lineage, he is naturally the enemy of all of them.

Despite all this, Jiang Lihua still bravely raised her head, but Mo Mo could feel her petite body trembling.

"teacher……"

Jiang Lihua held back her tears; her defiance of the emperor had nearly exhausted all her courage.

"Why... why doesn't Father understand? Why is Father so obsessed with that position? Lihua doesn't feel there's anything to cherish about the throne. It's so hard, it will ruin your health. And it's not like it has to be our Jiang family. Why does Father insist on clinging to it?"

"Teacher... I don't understand."

Mo Mo squeezed Jiang Lihua's trembling hand slightly and said, "This isn't hard to understand. Your father is used to placing the emperor's position at the top and thinking about everything based on that premise. So it's normal that you can't understand each other."

"Don't blame your father too much. This is how he has lived his whole life. He has always believed in and persisted in this since he was a child. This is your father's life. Just as you don't want your own life to be distorted, your father doesn't allow others to question his life."

After all, this was the old emperor's last obsession, his last psychological support for surviving.

Mo Mo did not say this directly.

"Will there never be a day when my father and I can understand each other? Teacher, I'm really heartbroken. I don't want to see my father like this..."

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, that day will come, I assure you, and that day is not far away. However, before that, your father will probably need to vent his anger first."

Mo Mo spoke as if it were a joke, but the old emperor's subsequent actions had nothing to do with a joke.

With Gao Hai's help, the old emperor finally caught his breath, but his face was still deathly pale. Instead of showing weakness, the old emperor looked like a vengeful ghost, his aura growing stronger and stronger.

He looked silently at his daughter, then at Mo Mo who was still smiling, and said, "It seems that some things can no longer be explained by words alone."

"But Mo Mo, you are still too careless. Did you really think that just because you tricked my daughter into staying by your side, I wouldn't dare to do anything?"

“With such an unfilial daughter, even if she gets hurt or injured, it’s what she deserves. This is a good opportunity to calm her down.”

"Moreover, even if you used Geass on her, I now know where Geass comes from, and I will find someone to remove its effects from her."

The emperor straightened up, and with his movement, all the Imperial Guards who were still kneeling on one knee also stood up. Jiang Zhong, standing beside the emperor, even had a slight smile on his lips.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it was time to settle all his old and new grudges.

"All Imperial Guards, listen to my command! Seize them! Except for the princess, anyone who dares to resist, kill them without mercy!"

206. Surrender, and then I'll...hehehe...

At the Emperor's command, all the Imperial Guards sprang into action, their well-trained nature making them acutely aware of their duties.

Jiang Zhong arrived in front of the old emperor immediately, and a large group of Imperial Guards immediately surrounded him. The people around him raised their guns, and Knightmare in the distance even raised his weapon, which was longer than a person, towards Mo Mo.

These are undoubtedly weapons for killing, and the Imperial Guards were aiming at Mo Mo with the intention of killing him.

The sudden turn of events left only Mo Mo and Yuki able to remain calm. Karen instinctively rushed to Mo Mo's side, while Jiang Lihua screamed in fright.

From the moment the Emperor gave the order, it took only about a second for everyone to prepare for battle. This not only demonstrates the high level of training of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but also raises suspicions that everything was planned in advance.

After all, the person they were facing with weapons was not some unknown figure, but a genius known throughout the entire Chinese Empire, regarded by almost every Chinese person as their savior.

Even if they were extremely loyal to the emperor, they couldn't possibly be without any hesitation.

Clearly, they had already been ordered to prepare for battle, awaiting only the Emperor or Jiang Zhong's command.

"Get out of my way, everyone! Get out of my way!"

Faced with such a display, it was the old emperor who spoke first. He rebuked Jiang Zhong in front of him, saying, "What are you all doing standing in front of me!"

Jiang Zhong looked slightly surprised, but instead of immediately accepting the order to leave, he said, "Your Majesty, now is the time to capture and kill the traitorous minister Mo Mo. It is inevitable that the other party will turn around and strike suddenly. We must protect Your Majesty with our lives."

"I said get out of the way, so get out of the way! If he really values ​​me that much, let him come at me. If Mo Mo really makes a move, it'll be a good opportunity for Li Hua to see what kind of person she values!"

Faced with the emperor's stern order, Jiang Zhong finally ordered his men to make way for the emperor, while the emperor walked forward and came to within a few meters of Mo Mo.

"Father! Why did you do this? Mo Mo is a meritorious official of our Chinese Empire! And Father, do you even care about Li Hua?"

Jiang Lihua calmed down a bit and loudly questioned the old emperor, but the old emperor completely ignored her words, seemingly showing through his actions that at this moment, he no longer cared about Jiang Lihua as his daughter.

"Mo Mo, today is the day to end everything. You call yourself the Qilin Talent, so let's see what skills you have to resolve this crisis."

"Don't try to use Lihua as a shield, that will make me look down on you. I'm standing right here, if you have the guts, go ahead and attack me. I want to see just how capable you really are!"

The old man stood before Mo Mo, clearly tempting her to harm him. He used himself as bait, intending to prove Mo Mo's despicable nature to Jiang Lihua through his own experience, a move that was almost a desperate gamble.

The steel safe house that Momo created was already a manifestation of Momo's extraordinary strength, so the old emperor was not confident that he could kill Momo directly.

The Emperor's current goal is to expose Mo Mo, to reveal Mo Mo's secrets. Whether it's making Mo Mo display his inferiority in front of Jiang Lihua, or making Mo Mo expose his own secrets, it will be a fatal blow to Mo Mo.

As long as it can be proven that Momo is an anomaly, an anomaly different from humans, no matter what abilities or talents Momo possesses, humans will not allow an anomaly to be one of them, much less allow an anomaly to become their leader.

The tragedy of CC Millennium Witch largely stems from this.

The Emperor's intentions were not hidden; he directly and bluntly crushed Mo Mo. He was going to use his own life and the thousands of Imperial Guards around him to fight Mo Mo to the death. He was determined to settle the score with Mo Mo today, no matter what.

Gao Hai wasn't as brave as the old emperor. Even after truly breaking ties with Mo Mo, he still cautiously stood behind the old emperor. However, at this moment, he also had to show his fearlessness, saying, "Mo Mo, now that things have come to this, your true colors have been exposed. What else do you have to say?"

The situation seemed to be getting increasingly tense. Seeing that she was being completely ignored by the Emperor and that the scene was still tense, Jiang Lihua panicked.

In her panic, she tried to stand in front of Momo, probably wanting to protect Momo with her own body. Perhaps she thought that even though she was a princess, others would still judge her by her status.

Mo Mo wouldn't allow her to do that. Instead, he pulled Jiang Lihua back to his side and behind him, using his body to shield her.

"Mo Mo..."

Jiang Lihua wanted to say something more, but Yuki, who was behind Mo Mo, came up, patted Jiang Lihua's head, and then gestured for her to be quiet.

"Just leave it to your older brother, trust him, okay?"

Seeing the relaxed smile on Yuki's face, Jiang Lihua nodded, then pulled Mo Mo's clothes from behind and pressed her head against Mo Mo's back.

"teacher……"

As if sensing Jiang Lihua's thoughts, Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Gao Hai, you asked me what I want to say, and I do have a few things to say, even though you won't believe me."

No one responded to Momo's words; it seemed that everyone was tacitly agreeing and letting Momo continue.

“First,” Mo Mo held up a finger and said, “The Geass on Li Hua’s body, Your Majesty, is the same kind of Geass that is implanted in your body. If you insist on accusing me of doing all this, then I will not take the blame.”

"To be fair, you should apologize to Lihua for this, whether as her father or as the emperor. Gao Hai and Jiang Zhong, you should apologize as well."

Mo Mo raised his second finger and said, "From beginning to end, I have never been interested in your throne, just as you are obsessed with the Jiang family's rule. I also have things I am obsessed with and looking at... but you probably wouldn't understand even if I told you, after all, you don't even understand your own daughter's thoughts."

"As for the last point..."

Looking at the large group of menacing people around him, Mo Mo suddenly spread his arms and said, "Hey, is this really a good thing? It makes it seem like you're forcing me."

"What exactly caused you to have this misconception..."

"...Do you have the right to coerce me?"

As soon as Mo Mo finished speaking, the smile on his lips transformed into a musical note, becoming the accompaniment for the black Knightmare that was rapidly approaching from afar.

This Knightmare is the same Knightmare that Mariana just rode in, the one she used to break through the enemy lines.

And now, it's back.

Not only did it return, it also instantly penetrated the Jinyiwei's defensive perimeter. Despite the Jinyiwei's excellent skills, and the Jinyiwei's Knightmare troops reacting immediately, rushing forward almost recklessly to stop this black Knightmare, all to no avail.

The humanoid Knightmare is destined to inherit the fighting and combat results of humans, and even amplify these results, making the scene of one-man army that originally only existed in novels a reality.

It is worth mentioning that since Momo brought Lakshata to the Chinese Empire, the Knightmare technology of the Chinese Empire is far superior to that in the original work. The Knightmare of the Chinese Empire that the Embroidered Uniform Guard is now using, although it is still called Steel Skull, has similar performance to the Britannia fourth generation Knightmare Glasgow.

Unfortunately, it was all for naught.

Who told them to be facing the progenitor of Knightmare pilots, the big boss-level figure, the Shining Mariana?

Furthermore, Mariana's Knightmare is likely a fifth-generation Sunderland-level unit. Although it's not a powerful, custom-designed machine, it was probably modified to meet Mariana's specific needs.

Thus, overwhelmed by the performance, piloting experience, and technology of the Knightmare, the returning Mariana almost instantly defeated the five Knightmare that were blocking her way, and launched a high-speed attack on the Emperor and Momo.

Moreover, because it was close to the central key area, the forces that could stop Mariana were reduced exponentially, since no one dared to fire cannons or guns near the emperor and the princess.

And so, Marianna, who had been beating up the Imperial Guards all the way, leaped high into the air in her black Knightmare and landed on the roof of the safe house behind Momo.

It was as if a ferocious beast had suddenly emerged from the forest, joined Momo's camp, stood behind Momo, and become a loyal supporter of Momo.

The black Knightmare suddenly appeared, suddenly entered the battle, and suddenly stood behind Momo, causing the entire scene to fall into dead silence. No one could figure out why this was happening. Wasn't this Knightmare just now hostile to Momo and running away from him?

Why is he back now, and has become one of Mo Mo's people?

However, Anya's voice seemed to provide the answer next.

"Momo, I've returned according to plan. Now it's time for you to defect to Britannia and hand over Jiang Lihua to us as a hostage and a gift, isn't it?"

"I'm glad you did this. I can see your sincerity. As payment, how about I give you my body as a gift? You like this little style, don't you?"

"You can't stay in the Chinese Empire anymore, why don't you surrender to Britannia? Once you're in Britannia, I'll let Anya have sex with you, and I can even let more princesses have sex with you. Anyway, that's your hobby, isn't it? You like this little style, you like the princess setting."

"Oh right, Jiang Lihua is still yours. I will never let her leave your side, don't worry."

The voice that spoke was Anya's, but the person who spoke was definitely Mariana. Mariana's words immediately caused the quiet scene to erupt again. Countless Imperial Guards were almost glaring with anger, wishing they could immediately raise their guns and shoot Momo.

The old emperor seemed stunned by Mariana's words, and Gao Hai immediately said, "Your Highness, do you still trust this guy? He's a lackey of Britannia, and he wants to kidnap you and take you to Britannia as a gift in exchange for status and wealth. Can't you see that yet?"

However, Jiang Lihua remained calm in the face of Gao Hai's slander. She hid behind Mo Mo and wrapped her arms around Mo Mo's waist.

“I believe in Momo.”
