Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Mom, Asuna, please stop arguing, Yui... Yui..."

Yui then timidly stepped forward and took Argo's hand. She didn't know what to say because she knew about all these things and these traps.

However, she also made a promise with Mo Mo that she would never easily reveal all of this to anyone else.

This is a bet between Momo and Kayaba Akihiko. Yui is afraid of Kayaba Akihiko, but she also believes in her real father, Momo.

Johnny Black watched all this with interest, then turned and asked, "Hey, Momo, aren't you going to comfort your two teammates? If they start fighting each other and it comes to a life-or-death situation, it's not our fault, is it?"

"Of course not, you're overthinking it, Johnny Black."

Mo Mo did not turn around, but instead turned his back to everyone and said something that surprised everyone.

Asuna.

"Yes, I'm here!"

"Let's get married after I come back. Will you marry me, Asuna?"

Even Johnny Black, an outsider, took several seconds to understand what Momo meant. He suddenly had a ridiculous feeling that he was not on the same wavelength as Momo.

Asuna trembled, her face turned pale, and two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks. To others, these appeared to be tears of joy, but only she knew they were not.

What Momo meant was, prepare for the worst; it might really be time for a final battle.

"...Okay...okay, I'll wait for you to come back, Mo Mo. I love you, and I will definitely marry you, whether in the game or in real life!"

“And Argo.”

Argo, stunned and speechless, turned his head, waiting for Momo to continue.

I'm sorry.

Argo gave a bitter smile and said, "Is that so? I understand. I was meddling."

After saying that, Argo seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground in despair.

"Mom, Mom, what's wrong!"

Yui rushed over to help Argo, but how could she possibly push an adult's weight? Sword Art Online still adheres to the laws of physics.

"Argo!"

Asuna wanted to help Argo up, but Argo shouted at her to stay.

"Don't come any closer!"

Asuna stopped in her tracks.

"...Don't come any closer, I can manage on my own, I'm fine on my own..."

Argo managed to sit up, and Yui hugged him tightly, trying to warm him, but Argo didn't react at all and slowly pulled up his hood.

“Argo…it’s not what you think…”

"What else?!"

Argo interrupted Asuna again, saying, "Anyway, this is all between the two of you, your marriage, and your decisions. What do I care about your life or death!"

"I...I..."

Argo choked up, but stopped speaking loudly. After a long while, he lowered his voice and said, "Anyway... it was destined to be this way from the beginning. Momo made it very clear from the start... You will always be so outstanding, what chance do I have..."

"Mom... don't cry, Mom still has Yui, Yui is with Mom!"

Asuna's mind was in complete chaos. If she had been guessing before, Argo's performance now completely confirmed it.

"Argo...do you like Momer?"

Argo shuddered, instinctively wanting to deny it, but a surge of anger welled up inside her, making her grit her teeth and shout out her true feelings for the first time.

"Yes, I like him! I've liked him for a long time! The night we met, I was captivated by him. I wanted to give myself to him! He's so outstanding and charming. He must be outstanding in real life too, right?"

"I'm an orphan, and finding such an excellent boyfriend is an honor for me, a chance for me to enter a wealthy family, and my best opportunity. Then I'll be as noble as you, Asuna!"

"That's why I've always liked Mo Mo, and I've always been..."

"enough!"

Asuna also shed tears, saying, "Enough... Argo... It's fine if you like Momo... Don't smear yourself... You're not like that, I know... I know."

Argo smiled bitterly and said, "Anyway... things have come to this point, there's nothing left to hide. Momo chose you, and in the end, you're the victor. I was destined to be a loser from the very beginning, just daydreaming. Nothing I could compare to you."

"Alright, I wish you happiness, and I won't say anything more... As for our relationship... well, whether we can survive is still unknown."

Argo hugged Yui and hid her face, so no one knew what expression she had at that moment.

Asuna was also trembling. She wanted to sit down, but she couldn't. She had to stand because she was standing there as Momo's support, and Momo needed her help.

Argo's outburst surprised Asuna, yet it was also within reason.

However, Asuna harbored no resentment towards Argo, because she understood Argo's feelings—the feelings of liking Momo were always so warm.

However, Asuna didn't intend to share these feelings, but she also didn't want to lose Argo as a friend.

Originally, she was determined to try and explain, but now she can't.

She has more important things to do.

"I'm sorry, Argo..."

Asuna touched her hands, where she had made her new gloves; hers were pure white, while Momo's were pure black.

This is a piece she just finished this morning, and it also serves as a bridge between her and Momo.

As long as Momo needs it...

"Oh dear, it seems we've seen something incredible. It feels like we're the villains, standing here watching?"

Johnny Black scratched his head. No matter how vicious and twisted he was, he was still a high school student in reality, and he was now shocked by Argo's outburst.

"Boss, we're a villainous gang!"

"Bullshit! We're not an evil party, we're a murder guild! We're a whole level above evil parties, okay?"

Is there a difference?

"The difference is huge!"

After reprimanding his underlings who couldn't distinguish between villains and a murder guild, Johnny Black said, "Alright, you two, if you're tired of arguing, you'd better take a break now. I'll be frank with you, whether we're friends or foes depends on the outcome of our boss's discussion with you men."

"To be honest, we didn't want to lay a hand on you two either. It's all this awful killing game's fault. I was originally a good kid, wasn't I?"

"Really, boss? Didn't you say you used to..."

"Shut up and get out!"

No one knew whether Johnny Black's words were true or false, and Momo, having already announced his marriage proposal, went alone into the thick fog to meet the true boss of the Smiling Coffin.

POH, the president of Smiling Coffin!

078 Let's become heroes of justice together!

Mo Mo walked through the mist as usual, without worrying about getting lost, because the yellow-named players stood on both sides, laughing and pointing out a path for him.

Unlike the green-named players who were used as human shields earlier, these yellow-named players were all fully armed, their weapons gleaming faintly, clearly high-quality weapons with considerable enhancement levels.

Upon closer examination, this is definitely a novel topic. Its very existence is virtually unknown; even an intelligence broker like Argo couldn't ascertain the true nature of the Smiling Coffin. Yet, the Smiling Coffin is able to support so many Yellow Names and provides them with a decent supply of resources and equipment.

Without a doubt, the Smiling Coffin is not just a group of murderers; there is definitely a tight organization behind it, as well as a perfect management and division of labor.

PoH is a real talent!

"You're just leaving like this? Don't you know how much of a commotion your words just caused? I could almost hear Argo's roar."

Momo shook his head slightly and said, "Well, that's all I can do. I just hope Argo can face his feelings and make a choice. From now on, I will focus on fighting Kayaba Akihiko."

"Since Kayaba Akihiko doesn't intend for me to continue playing the game, I'm going to prepare to overturn his game. After all, this death game is already in complete chaos."

Reimu Hakurei gave a slightly disdainful look and said, "Isn't this all your doing? Aren't you ashamed at all?"

"Ashamed? I'm very proud! I saved tens of thousands of players, saved countless lives, and stopped the terrorist attack by Kayaba Akihiko. I will become a hero and will be appreciated by everyone in real life."

Mo Mo smiled, a hint of coldness in his smile, and said, "What do I have to be ashamed of?"

"So that's how it is..."

Reimu Hakurei seemed to have a sudden realization, saying, "No wonder you said that Akihiko Kayaba was doomed from the start... Under these circumstances, he was destined to fail no matter what..."

"So, Reimu, remember to always stand on the side of justice. Justice will always prevail!"

Reimu Hakurei squinted and said, "I always feel that there's something deeper in what you said?"

"You're overthinking it, Reimu."

"Wow, welcome, Mr. Rich! You really dared to come over; I'm quite impressed."

The number of figures in front of them gradually increased and became more concentrated. However, unlike before, this time, they were a group of glaring red-named individuals.

And who are you?

"Me? Just a nobody, Sasha with red eyes. I don't have any special skills, except for being decent in PvP. So, I'm just an assassin in our Smiling Coffin."

"So far, I've killed probably dozens of players!"

Sasha, with his red eyes, twirled the one-handed hammer in his hand. The one-handed hammer was designed for heavy blows, which could easily cripple or stun the target, making it an undeniably powerful weapon in PvP.

"So, how do you want me to see you, trembling with fear when I hear you've killed dozens of people?"

Mo Mo's smile grew even brighter. The one-handed hammer, which seemed to still be stained with blood, appeared to Mo Mo as a ball tossed around by a clown.

"Tch, as if you've actually killed someone. What are you pretending for? Our guild leader is waiting for you over here."

With that, Sasha, with her red eyes, gave up on this meaningless demonstration and led Momo forward, gradually heading towards the man at the very center.

"Is this guy just a figurehead? If I remember correctly, he was sickly in real life, was stripped of his right to inherit the throne, and then played Death Gun in GGO?"

Momo nodded and said, "That's right. Johnny Black, the one with the green name, is the real dangerous guy. He's the kind of guy who would kill someone in real life. As for Sasha with the red eyes, he's just showing off in the game."

"President, they've arrived."

"Oh, welcome, welcome!"

PoH, with a bright red name on his head, spread his hands and spoke to Momo in a relaxed and cheerful tone, as if he were truly welcoming a friend who had come from afar.

"Mo Mo Jun, I have long admired your name! You are currently the leader of the positive figures in the entire Aincrad. I never expected to meet me, the leader of a dark underground murder guild, here today. But it seems you are an easy person to get along with, and you won't draw your sword at me directly."
