Mo Mo... I still have Mo Mo!

Momo has remembered me and fulfilled our promise. Now I am Momo's family, and I will always be Momo's family!

No longer hated or used, forever staying by Momo's side, enjoying Momo's warmth, merging with Momo and never separating.

Best couldn't listen to Alastor's argument with Haruhi Suzumiya anymore. She had completely given up on Crimson World, and all she could think about was Momo. A firm determination permeated her spirit and will.

Seemingly sensing Best's determination, Momo spoke again, interrupting the argument.

"I don't know, may I say something?"

Momo's voice drew everyone's attention. Haruhi Suzumiya looked displeased, clearly not wanting Momo to speak. However, she was currently panting heavily, busy fuming about Alastor, and had no time to pay attention to Momo.

Alastor was still very polite to Momo, partly because Momo was a manager, and partly because Momo still had the potential to fulfill Alastor's ideas.

"Please feel free to speak."

Shana and Rami frowned. Time was of the essence, but since they had no other solutions, they figured they might as well waste their time.

If they can't obtain the power of the oracle from Best this time, then the order of the Crimson World... well, they'll have to find another way.

Momo nodded in response to Alastor's politeness. Then, under everyone's gaze, Momo turned to look at Best.

This turn signifies that Mo Mo has officially transformed from a pawn into a player, and he is about to take control of his trump card.

"Best, become mine!"

274 I've tamed the cat-eared loli!

As Momo said this, he made a series of deals with Best and invited Best to become a Heroic Spirit.

The trading ability quickly made Best understand what Momo was doing, while the invitation to become a Heroic Spirit made Best understand what Momo really meant by "become my person".

After initial surprise and disbelief, a look of wild joy appeared on Best's small face. So Momo actually had such power?

Although Momo has been demonstrating his power in Academy City, unfortunately, apart from Best, neither the Crimson World nor the SOS Brigade knows about the existence of the power of trading, and no one knows about the existence of the Hall of Heroes.

Rami and Best had always attributed all of this to Momo's abilities, the abilities of a manager. Managerial abilities were considered extraordinary, and even creating miracles was seen as a given—that was their view.

Therefore, although they never knew how Momo did those things, where he pulled out the Damocles floating aircraft carrier, or where he sent the girl beside him, they still didn't investigate it further.

After all, this is Momo's power.

Now that Best understands Momo's power, she naturally realizes that as long as she wants to follow Momo, no one can stop her. The power of choice was in her hands the moment Momo extended the invitation.

At this moment, Best is not the Demon Lord of the Crimson World, not a bargaining chip in Alastor's hands, not the object from which the SOS Brigade is about to strip away her power; she is merely a little girl named Best, a kitten longing for the company of her family.

And at this moment, because Momo was by her side, she could decide her own fate.

Given this, would Best offer any other answer?

However, Best did not immediately agree to Momo's request. Instead, she looked at Momo with concern, as if worried about the wrath Momo would face if she really took her away.

By this time, Best had a vague idea of ​​what kind of scheme was behind this, understood her own position, and lost all goodwill towards the Crimson World.

Her only worry was Mo Mo.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Momo placed his hand on Best's head and gently massaged Best's ears. Best's body trembled slightly, and then he nodded.

"Yes, I believe you, Momo!"

"Shana!"

At this moment, Alastor finally realized that Momo was about to take an outrageous action, and Shana immediately understood Alastor's meaning and shouted the word "Seal".

The special power belonging to the Crimson World erupted instantly, pulling Momo and Best into the sealed interior. The absolute stagnation of time and space within the sealed interior also petrified Momo, rendering him unable to move.

Seeing this, Shana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Did we make it in time?"

"Don't let your guard down!"

Knowing about Momo's unusual abilities, Rami immediately exclaimed, "Being a manager is definitely not that easy..."

Before the words were even finished, Shana already knew that Rami's worries were justified, because Best had vanished right before their eyes, disappeared abruptly. The aura of the Crimson Lord had vanished completely, as if it had never existed in this world at all.

Clearly, this was not some hidden method or means, but proof that Best had completely left this world.

At this moment, Shana and Rami realized that they had just made a serious mistake. Although Shana had controlled Momo with the seal, Best, as a Crimson World Demon King, could naturally move freely within the seal.

Clearly, Momo has just extended an invitation to Best, and all that's needed now is Best's approval. The initiative is in Best's hands, and Momo's condition is no longer important.

"hateful!"

Realizing she had missed her chance, Shana stared at Momo, who was under the influence of the seal, her eyes turning hostile. She gripped the Zanpakuto tightly in her hand, wishing she could just chop Momo to pieces.

She still held a sliver of trust in Mo Mo, especially after he gave her a name, which gave Shana a strange feeling. However, Mo Mo's actions now made Shana feel betrayed.

"Calm down, Shana."

At this moment, Alastair spoke up, saying, "Rami, in your opinion, is this manager the kind of treacherous and cunning person?"

Rami's expression was also grim, but he shook his head slightly and said, "You all know about Best's situation. The fact that he was able to gain Best's trust speaks volumes. However, this time he really did fool us, there's no doubt about that."

Upon hearing this, Shana gritted her teeth. However, to Shana's surprise, Alastor expressed a different opinion at this moment.

"No, I don't think we've been played. At least the situation isn't so bad that we'll end up with nothing. This manager clearly understands our true purpose, and now that he's stayed here and sent Best away, he's likely going to make a deal with us."

"You mean..."

At this moment, Rami also realized what had happened. Recalling Momo's actions, he nodded and said, "Indeed, unless he is very confident, such behavior is almost tantamount to declaring war on us and the SOS Brigade as a whole, which will not benefit him in the slightest."

"He's not a hot-blooded young man. He won't do something so desperate unless he's driven to the brink. Let's see how he performs in the end."

After saying that, Rami pointed his finger, and the seal disappeared instantly. Everything seemed to return to the moment before. Except for Best's departure, nothing around them had changed.

"Hey, where's Best? Hey, what have you guys done? What have you, the manager, done?!"

Haruhi Suzumiya cried out in surprise, clearly completely bewildered by the current situation. In comparison, Haruhi Suzumiya was perhaps the one who knew the least; Mo Mo knew far more than she did.

At least, Momo already knows that Alastor's side does not represent the Crimson World at the moment, and Haruhi Suzumiya keeps talking about the Crimson World, obviously believing that she is dealing with the entire Crimson World.

“Regarding this,” Alastor’s deep voice rang out, tinged with suppressed anger and warning, “we also need to ask you, Manager, Momo. Why did you take Best away? You should understand how important Best is to us now, shouldn’t you?”

"Can I interpret all of this as you want to wage war against us?"

Upon hearing this, Haruhi Suzumiya realized that Mo Mo was behind it all. Her eyes sharpened; she never let her guard down around managers, and in her eyes, none of these managers, embodiments of desire, could be good people.

Mo Mo was processing the information Yui had sent him: Best had entered Valhalla and begun the transformation, and Mo Mo also possessed the abilities he had traded back from Best.

Seeing the group of people surrounding him with wary looks, and even the scene where they seemed ready to fight at the slightest provocation, Mo Mo revealed a relaxed smile and said, "Shall we settle everything here?"

Yes, everything has been resolved. Momo's goal has been basically achieved. All that's left is to finish things off with Crimson World... ah, no, with Alastor and Shana, and with Haruhi Suzumiya.

"What do you mean?"

Shana frowned and asked, while Momo pointed to the rolling black clouds in the distance and said, "Best is with me, and I will never let go. But you don't need to worry, am I still with you? If Haruhi Suzumiya could seal me once, she can seal me a second time. Do you think I can run away?"

Upon hearing this, Haruhi Suzumiya subconsciously puffed out her chest, seemingly confirming Mo Mo's statement and displaying her confidence. However, only she knew that without Yuki Nagato by her side, although she could still use her powers, she could never perform the precise operations that Yuki Nagato possessed.

"So, let's go somewhere else. How about we go to Academy City instead of staying here? Shana and Alastor, you two are resting right now, right? Do you have a little time?"

Upon hearing this, Alastor replied almost without hesitation, "Sure, it just so happens that the SOS Brigade also needs to visit Academy City, so this is a matter of course."

On the surface, it sounds grand and dignified, but in reality, the disappearance of Best is enough for the Serpent of Ritual to realize something is wrong, and then trigger a major change that leads to conflict between the two sides.

Under such circumstances, a group of people entered Academy City, ostensibly to let the SOS Brigade take over Academy City. In this way, even if Best disappeared for a while, it would not arouse suspicion.

Hearing Momo's suggestion, Haruhi Suzumiya didn't object. She had long looked forward to Academy City, this city of superpowers. It wasn't just that she was interested in superpowers; to her, superpowers were a very excellent and controllable force.

With this power... she can do many things she wanted to do but lacked the strength to do, and therefore could not do.

Soon, the group re-entered Academy City. As soon as Haruhi Suzumiya entered Academy City, her cold and arrogant expression melted considerably, and she looked around curiously, observing everything in Academy City like a true student.

When she saw that the students in Academy City were going about their business normally, and that the entire Academy City was orderly and full of vitality, she nodded in satisfaction. In her opinion, the state of Academy City was quite good.

Shana also looked around curiously for a while, but she quickly turned her attention back to Momo. At this moment, the most crucial person, Best, was in Momo's hands. What exactly was Momo going to do?

"Speak your terms, Manager. If you think you can threaten us with Best, you're sorely mistaken."

Faced with Shana's spirited words, Mo Mo smiled slightly and gave the best interpretation through her actions.

275 Tempting Grapes

Amidst the wary, expectant, and surprised gazes of everyone, Mo Mo extended his hand, and in his palm lay a translucent purple grape, gleaming with an alluring luster.

The grapes immediately attracted everyone's attention, and then everyone's eyes turned to confusion.

What is Mo Mo up to?

What Momo did was actually quite simple: he traded Best's divine power for Best and placed that power into the grapes.

This is a powerful force; if Momo wanted, he could even swallow the tempting grape himself and gain that power.

Unfortunately, Momo had no intention of doing so.

As a businessman, Mo Mo never believed that one person's fighting ability could determine everything. What truly determines the operation and development of the world is always the power of the majority. What influences the course and changes of the entire world is always the power of those who can create value.

This power might make Momo stronger in a short time, but it would also lead Momo to become completely hostile to the Crimson World.

Momo and the Gold Pikachu in the Fate world are already mortal enemies. If Momo were to have another enemy from the Crimson World, wouldn't he be an enemy of the entire world?

Oh, right, regarding Haruhi Suzumiya's side, it seems that the two sides are destined to be enemies, and there is no possibility of any reconciliation.

After all, Momo's first cheat was broken by the SOS Brigade!

Although it might be exciting for Momo to be an enemy of the world, after all, he had done this kind of thing many years ago when he was still on Earth.

However, businessmen are driven by profit. Since Momo has a more secure and better option, and a way to allow the girls around him to grow up more smoothly, why does Momo insist on choosing a thorny path?

Mo Mo isn't a masochist.

"what is this?"

Shana was the first to ask a question. She was probably the least scheming person in the group right now. She asked the question out of instinct, while Haruhi Suzumiya interrupted with obvious emotion.

"It's definitely some kind of trick again. The manager has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve. If you continue to trust him, he'll probably be the next one to run away!"

Girl, you've hit the nail on the head!

“How could that be?” Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, “I would never run away silently. In fact, I quite like staying in Academy City rather than leaving.”

"Hmph, enough nonsense, what exactly do you want!"
