Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Mo Mo had already discerned the truth from Haruhi Suzumiya's current defiant demeanor.

"Is that so?"

The sarcasm of Haruhi Suzumiya did not cause much of a stir in Momo's emotions. In Haruhi Suzumiya's view, this meant that Momo always maintained a hypocritical smile, which was disgusting.

Momo continued from Haruhi Suzumiya's words, saying, "Indeed, given the situation you've envisioned, I really can't take action against you, because I can't be sure of the outcome if we actually clash, so I can't attack you."

"However..."

Suzumiya Haruhi had secretly breathed a sigh of relief because Mo Mo had admitted her speculation, but Mo Mo's next words made Suzumiya Haruhi's expression change drastically, and a bad premonition rose in Suzumiya Haruhi's heart.

"But that also means you won't lay a hand on me, right?"

"Nonsense! I..."

Haruhi Suzumiya immediately wanted to refute this; she had to refute it, otherwise…

Unfortunately, Haruhi Suzumiya was unable to speak.

Mo Mo gently pulled on Suzumiya Haruhi's chin, causing her to groan in pain. But that wasn't all. Suzumiya Haruhi, whose muscles had been tense and stiff, suddenly lost her balance and fell into Mo Mo's arms, landing on his chest.

"you!"

With a shout of anger, Suzumiya Haruhi tried to push Momo away, but Momo shamelessly reached behind her and grabbed her waist.

"what!"

Haruhi Suzumiya's angry shout turned into a gasp of alarm. Her eyes almost spit fire, and a strange light flashed from her body. An unknown and powerful force was about to be unleashed, and Mo Mo, the culprit who caused all of this, might be torn to pieces by this force in an instant.

However, Mo Mo showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he lowered his head slightly, bringing his face close to that of Haruhi Suzumiya, and asked, "Want to take a gamble?"

"Let's make a bet: who can use their power faster, you or me? Perhaps, as you say, my power won't necessarily work on you. You can make your move now!"

"To blast this scumbag who took liberties with you out of the solar system in an instant, isn't that a great idea?"

"Actually, I think you should really give it a try, after all, you are so powerful. Maybe when you turn the tables and control me, I won't even have time to use my power."

"Of course, things could also be the opposite. If I were to use my power... what would the result be then?"

Momo spoke to Haruhi Suzumiya in a consultative tone, as if the two were discussing a very ordinary little game. However, Haruhi Suzumiya was unable to come up with any means of resistance in the face of Momo's actions.

This is actually a game of strategy.

In Haruhi Suzumiya's view, both of them possess the power to severely injure each other, or even send one from heaven to hell. If one of them were to activate their power, the other would immediately do the same, and no one would know the outcome of the conflict.

It's like Momo and Haruhi Suzumiya are just ordinary people. If two ordinary people point guns at each other's heads, they are destined to fire at the same time. If one of them fires, the other will immediately follow suit.

In such a situation, the advantage held by both sides is almost directly proportional to the courage they possess. Whoever dares to risk their life can disregard the danger to their own life and turn around to restrain the other side.

Or to put it simply, in the contest between Momo and Haruhi Suzumiya, the victor will inevitably be a madman.

Who is this madman?

"So..."

Mo Mo's head continued to lower slowly, softly uttering words that sounded like murmurs. Their faces drew closer and closer, and the anger on Haruhi Suzumiya's face gradually turned into panic, creating a stark contrast with the ever-present smile on Mo Mo's lips.

Should I use this ability or not?

"Hey, Haruhi Suzumiya, why don't you answer me? Should I use it or not?"

Red and white light emanated from Mo Mo's body. The light was soft, yet it sent a chill down Suzumiya Haruhi's spine. It seemed that in that instant, the power she was so proud of had gradually drifted away from her body and was no longer under her control.

This was just an illusion, a delusion born of Suzumiya Haruhi's own panic. However, Suzumiya Haruhi felt that if she didn't answer Momo, Momo would definitely do something.

At that moment, Haruhi Suzumiya suddenly remembered something. Her breath caught in her throat, and she immediately shouted, "No!"

280 I only hate you

What was Haruhi Suzumiya thinking about?

Haruhi Suzumiya thought a lot, but the core question she was considering was whether Momo would dare to use the power of the Supreme God at the same time as her, engaging in a conflict with an unknown outcome.

The outcome of a conflict could be a resounding victory for one side, mutual destruction for both sides, or even the annihilation of both. Normally, in such a situation, both sides should be wary of each other and thus find a line of compromise.

However, it was clear that Momo did not intend to do so.

Mo Mo was well aware of the consequences of the conflict between the two sides, but he seemed to disregard these consequences, unafraid of suffering any losses on his side, and determined to prove the trend of conflict with Haruhi Suzumiya.

This forced Haruhi Suzumiya to be on guard and tense, because she couldn't afford to lose. She wasn't alone; there were too many things behind her that needed her strength.

Therefore, Haruhi Suzumiya was convinced that Momo was a madman who was absolutely capable of doing anything.

Having concluded that Momo was a madman, Suzumiya Haruhi naturally began to wonder what Momo's trump card was, why Momo wasn't afraid of such a conflict, and whether, as the manager, he had a firm grasp on Suzumiya Haruhi's counterfeit goods.

Now, Haruhi Suzumiya finally remembered something, something that had happened not long ago and had been reported to her by Yuki Nagato herself.

Mo Mo...cannot be killed.

Even if Mo Mo were to vanish into nothingness, there would still be a tremendous force supporting his life, as if the entire world stood behind him.

If Haruhi Suzumiya truly wants to kill Momo, then it means that Haruhi Suzumiya must fight against the entire world behind Momo and kill the world force that supports Momo in order to truly kill Momo.

Unfortunately, this is not something Haruhi Suzumiya could do. At least, Haruhi Suzumiya would not make an entire world perish for the sake of killing a single administrator. She is not crazy enough to do that.

It was precisely because of this that Haruhi Suzumiya chose to have Yuki Nagato seal Momo away, and then threw Momo into Academy City, which led to everything in Academy City and the current situation where Momo and Haruhi Suzumiya are facing off.

The moment she saw the red light emanating from Mo Mo, Haruhi Suzumiya instantly understood everything and realized what Mo Mo's trump card was.

Mo Mo won't die!

Since he can't die, the outcome of the power conflict between the two will make no difference to Mo Mo.

If Momo wins, then Suzumiya Haruhi will be Momo's prisoner; both sides are severely injured, and for the immortal Momo, it is obviously just a matter of time before he recovers; even if Momo is completely defeated and sealed away by Suzumiya Haruhi again, Momo will still have a chance to regain his power, because he will not die.

Damn it, so that's how it is!

Suzumiya Haruhi, who thought she knew everything, felt increasingly disgusted by Mo Mo's face. Although she didn't want to admit it, a sense of being seen through and secretly controlled gradually enveloped Suzumiya Haruhi's heart.

Mo Mo, this manager, is not only a scumbag and a scoundrel, but also a bottomless and terrifying schemer!

Faced with such a guy... Haruhi Suzumiya felt overwhelmed and experienced a sense of helplessness.

"No...don't fight, we...we can talk this out, there's no need for conflict."

Suzumiya Haruhi pursed her lips and spoke with difficulty. She dared not look into Mo Mo's eyes and desperately turned her face to the side, otherwise, if she turned back, she would probably have her lips touching Mo Mo's.

At this moment, Haruhi Suzumiya felt wronged and unwilling, yet powerless. Because at this moment, she realized that Mo Mo could afford to gamble; he wouldn't die, and he had the means to go mad. But Haruhi Suzumiya absolutely couldn't afford to lose; she couldn't afford to fail even a little.

The balance that was originally intact has now tipped in Mo Mo's favor.

“Alright,” Momo sighed softly, “That’s more like it. Haruhi Suzumiya is a reasonable person. We’re all civilized people, what can’t we sit down and talk things over?”

As she spoke, Mo Mo released Suzumiya Haruhi's waist, which relieved Suzumiya Haruhi. However, Suzumiya Haruhi immediately felt her left hand fall into Mo Mo's right hand, and Mo Mo's fingers forcefully separated Suzumiya Haruhi's own fingers, inserting them between Suzumiya Haruhi's five fingers, making their fingers intertwine.

The familiar movements had been practiced countless times, and the two people's hands clasped intimately seemed to outsiders as proof of their care and closeness.

Unfortunately, the truth is quite the opposite.

Suzumiya Haruhi glared at Momo, but she didn't question him about his intentions. The reason was simple: Momo was absolutely not going to let go of Suzumiya Haruhi at this moment; otherwise, he would lose his leverage over her.

Indeed, at this moment, Suzumiya Haruhi herself was Mo Mo's bargaining chip to threaten her. As long as Mo Mo held onto Suzumiya Haruhi, Suzumiya Haruhi would not have the courage to confront Mo Mo.

Haruhi Suzumiya was well aware of this, so from that perspective, it seemed perfectly reasonable for Momo to hold onto her.

Even compared to how tightly he had held her just now, as if afraid she would resist, simply holding her hand now made Haruhi Suzumiya breathe a sigh of relief.

"Not planning to resist?"

Mo Mo stared at Haruhi Suzumiya with interest, while Haruhi Suzumiya gritted her teeth and said, "I also have my bottom line, so you'd better watch out, or else..."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know. Our Haruhi Suzumiya is the proud and great leader. At this moment, I am just a humble servant, holding the leader's hand in a ceremonial way, without any malice. How about that?"

Suzumiya Haruhi was speechless after being choked by Mo Mo. She could only stare into the distance, her face turning pale and then red, pretending that Mo Mo didn't exist at all, in order to comfort herself.

However, this small act of self-comfort vanished instantly as Momo began to walk hand in hand with Haruhi Suzumiya.

"Hey, what are you doing? Where are you taking me?!"

"Hmm... in this situation, do we look like we're on a date?"

Mo Mo pinched his chin with his other hand, looking like he was seriously considering something. This look almost shattered Haruhi Suzumiya's rationality. She could no longer understand what kind of thought process this man had.

Threaten a girl with his life to force her to follow him, and then claimed that this was dating?

A date with death?

Haruhi Suzumiya didn't believe Momo's nonsense. He definitely had ulterior motives and might have already prepared some secret location with props and equipment to deal with Haruhi Suzumiya.

Haruhi Suzumiya had already made a decision in secret: if Mo Mo dared to push her luck even a little bit, she would go all out and personally destroy the manager by her side!

After all... Haruhi Suzumiya also has her own bottom line. If it really comes to that... even if she is not qualified as the leader of the SOS Brigade, she will be sorry to everyone.

This is a choice made out of necessity, isn't it?

However, the actual development was completely beyond Haruhi Suzumiya's expectations. It wasn't that Momo did anything, but rather that Momo did nothing at all.

Momo pulled Haruhi Suzumiya directly into the sky, and then flew slowly at an altitude of over a hundred meters. As they flew, Momo introduced Haruhi Suzumiya to every detail of Academy City, as if he were introducing his manor to Haruhi Suzumiya as the owner.

What exactly is this supposed to be?

Haruhi Suzumiya was completely bewildered.

"This is the Seventh School District, which includes..."

"Have you made enough of a scene?!"

Gradually, Haruhi Suzumiya could no longer bear it, especially as she watched Mo Mo become more and more engrossed, and many students from Academy City on the ground noticed them, pointing and whispering with envy.

Haruhi Suzumiya even had the illusion that the two of them were really on a date, since their hands were clasped together the whole time. Perhaps only lovers could be so intimate and reluctant to be apart for even a minute.

Unfortunately, the two were not a couple, and their current relationship was just short of starting a fight. Mo Mo's serious appearance and the temperature emanating from him made Suzumiya Haruhi feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Yes, it's about time."

Mo Mo's introduction came to an abrupt end. He turned to look at Suzumiya Haruhi beside him, noticing her furrowed brows in thought, and said, "What a pity."

"What a pity...what's a pity?"

"It's a pity we may never have the chance to be as carefree as we are now again. After today, we'll probably be complete enemies when we meet again."

Upon hearing this, Haruhi Suzumiya's expression turned serious, as if she understood something. She said, "You originally had a chance. If you had behaved yourself just now, I could have treated you as an ordinary person and let you live in Academy City. You gave up that opportunity yourself."

“No,” Momo shook his head slightly and said, “This is not my chance. This is still imprisonment, isn’t it? Although it sounds better on the surface, it is no different from what you did to me before.”

"Miss Suzumiya Haruhi, I'm really curious. What happened to you that made you hate the administrators so much? Is this hatred truly unresolved, or perhaps..."
