Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Hello, Chairman, I am Shozo Yuki, CEO of Tianju."

"Hello, Chairman, I am Nobuyuki Sugo, and I am in charge of the company's ALO full-immersion game project."

Compared to Shozo Yuki's minor setbacks, Nobuyuki Sugo was more excited. If he could make good use of this opportunity to meet the chairman, his position in the company might rise rapidly!

“Very well, you two. I apologize, but Mr. Shozo Yuki, could you please excuse me for a moment? I have something to discuss with Nobuyuki Sugo.”

015 The Crushing Power of Money

Shozo Yuki was slightly taken aback, but didn't show any further reaction. He was just wondering why the new chairman would choose to talk to Nobuyuki Sugo first.

"Xu Xiang, answer the chairman's question properly and truthfully. Don't offend the chairman by showing off your youthful energy."

Before leaving, Yuki Shozo didn't forget to give Sugo Nobuyuki a word of advice. He clearly understood that this could be either an opportunity or a disaster for Sugo. Two young people chatting together—who knows, one wrong word could easily affect their emotions.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I know what I'm doing."

Yuki Akira nodded, slowly walked into the room next to the conference room, closed the door, and waited for Mo Mo's invitation. Sugo Nobuyuki took a deep breath, faced Mo Mo, tried his best to maintain a smile, and suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

"Mr. Shozo Yuki thinks highly of you."

In response to Mo Mo's exclamation, Sugo Nobuyuki carefully replied, "Yes, Mr. Yuki Shozo has a high opinion of my abilities, which makes me feel somewhat flattered. It is under Mr. Yuki's guidance that I have been able to grow so quickly."

Mo Mo raised an eyelid and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll be unhappy with Yuuki Shozo? Saying things like that might make me think you're in cahoots."

Sugo Nobuyuki's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed slightly. However, after recalling Mo Mo's earlier order to keep everything as usual, he made a decision.

He was gambling that Momo wouldn't become an enemy of Yuki Shozo.

"You're joking. I'm just stating the facts. Besides, I can tell that Mr. Yagyu values ​​General Manager Shozo Yuki quite a bit."

Mo Mo looked at the smile on Sugo Nobuyuki's face. Sugo Nobuyuki thought he had performed very well, but how could Mo Mo, who had a hundred years of life experience in his previous life and had seen countless enemies, not see the fluctuation in Sugo Nobuyuki's eyes?

Momo suddenly lost interest in playing with Sugo Nobuyuki.

"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point."

Nobuyuki Sugo's expression changed slightly, and a bad premonition arose.

"Nobuyuki Sugo, can you leave Asuna and never try to get close to her again?"

Nobuyuki Sugo's expression changed drastically, his mouth agape in surprise, but he was speechless for a moment.

It's unclear whether it was because Momo's thought process was too leapy, or because Momo's request was difficult for Sugo Nobuyuki to accept.

"I...I don't understand what you mean!"

"Let's be frank. I'll tell you this: I spent two hundred billion dollars to buy the entire RECT, all for Asuna."

Nobuyuki Sugo's eyes were filled with shock. He couldn't believe Momo's words that someone would spend two hundred billion dollars for a woman.

Is he crazy, or is the world crazy?

Or perhaps there's something wrong with Nobuyuki Sugo's ears?

"You...you're joking, right?"

"I'm very serious."

Mo Mo struck the standard pose of Commander Ikari, his eyes showing no sign of wavering.

Sugo Nobuyuki suddenly calmed down. Although he still found it all absurd, upon reflection, he realized that the other party was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man who was willing to spend a fortune to win the heart of a beauty, even directly buying the woman's father's company. It didn't seem so hard to understand.

But if all of this is true, what is it that Momo actually tried to take Asuna away right in front of him?

Isn't this a blatant insult?

Nobuyuki Sugo clenched his fists, his extreme humiliation mixed with helplessness and anger, which rendered him speechless.

We must find a way; we must resist!

Nobuyuki Sugo's mind raced, and finally, a flash of inspiration struck him, leading him to make a decision.

"Please don't insult my character. I genuinely love Asuna, so no matter how powerful or wealthy you are, you can't make me leave Asuna directly."

Mo Mo curled his lip and said, "Alright, Sugo Nobuyuki, I know you very well, even better than you know yourself. Don't underestimate the Yagyu family's intelligence capabilities."

"You only approached Asuna to curry favor with Shozo Yuuki and use his influence to climb the social ladder. Of course, Asuna being such a beautiful girl probably played a part in that as well."

“Now, the entire RECT manufacturing is mine. The person you wanted to rely on, Shozo Yuuki, will also serve me. Do you really think that by pretending to be upright and humble and gaining Shozo Yuuki's support, you can defeat me?”

Sugo Nobuyuki was terrified. He had no way to refute Mo Mo's words, and the difference in strength between the two sides was simply incomparable.

"No matter what, I will not give up, I truly mean it..."

"Alright, alright, stop showing off your sincerity. Asuna gets irritated every time she sees you, she told me that herself. Besides, Asuna is destined to be mine, are you really going to fight me?"

Nobuyuki Sugo's face darkened; he truly believed that Momo and Asuna knew each other. After all, the two seemed to be a perfect match, a man of wealth and a woman of beauty.

"I... refuse to accept this!"

016 Can I be your son-in-law?

"Yes, I'm listening. Also, are you misunderstanding something? I never said I'd make you withdraw from the competition for nothing."

Just as Nobuyuki Sugo was about to deliver his final declaration, he was silenced by a single sentence from Momo.

"Let's be honest, you're just a greedy man who wants to climb the social ladder. Asuna is more of a decorative vase to you. So, what if I give you a chance to rise, promise to give you important responsibilities, and then you voluntarily let go?"

Sugo Nobuyuki's mouth dropped open, as if he couldn't keep up with Momo's pace.

"Don't understand? If you still don't understand, I really need to reconsider giving you a chance. After all, in my opinion, you are quite capable, and the development of ALO can't do without you. As long as you promise to leave Asuna peacefully, you will become the manager of the entire ALO project, instead of just a small person in charge."

"In addition, this card contains one billion US dollars, which is also yours."

Nobuyuki Sugo's heart started pounding!

The manager of the ALO project is already a senior manager in the entire RECT manufacturing process.

A billion US dollars was a fortune he had never even dreamed of in his life!

These were two conditions that he simply could not resist.

"How about we make a deal?"

Reimu Hakurei continued reading the notification, "Momo has initiated a transaction. The counterparty is Nobuyuki Sugo. In exchange for the ALO project manager and one billion US dollars, Sugo is asked to peacefully and voluntarily leave Asuna Yuuki. Transaction application initiation..."

"The transaction...failed?"

Reimu Hakurei announced the outcome of the transaction with some surprise, then looked at Nobuyuki Sugo.

"Since Mr. Yagyu is so pleased, then I will no longer be hypocritical. I also hope that Mr. Yagyu will keep his promise and that I will leave Asuna."

As he spoke, Sugo Nobuyuki reached for the black card, hurriedly stuffed it into his jacket pocket, and said, "Is there anything else you need, Mr. Yagyu?"

Mo Mo's smile widened, and he said, "Not bad, you're quite sensible. No problem, from today onwards, you are the manager of the ALO project."

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Yagyu. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Nobuyuki Sugo bowed to Momo, but the look in his eyes as he glanced at the floor contained suppressed anger.

"You're just letting him go like that? But your deal has failed!"

Seeing Nobuyuki Sugo leave the meeting room, Reimu Hakurei quickly asked.

Momo spread his hands and said, "The deal failing was within my expectations. This guy is just an ambitious schemer, an ungrateful wretch. But he's still an important part of ALO's development, so we can't let him leave now."

"As for his threat, he's just a nobody. I'll have Yagyu Masayoshi ensure the safety of Asuna and me after we enter the game; there's nothing he can do."

"A billion dollars just vanished like that? That's ten thousand US dollars, a million ten thousand Japanese yen!"

Reimu Hakurei clutched her head, nearly going crazy. How much of her integrity would she have to sell to earn 100,000 yen per time?

"Oh dear, are you feeling bad about it? How about I give you a card?"

"Stay away from me! I won't accept your ill-gotten gains, you womanizing playboy!"

"Heh heh, don't regret it if you don't take it now!"

As he spoke, Mo Mo swaggered toward the conference room where Yuuki Shozo was, waving the black card in his hand. Hakurei Reimu stared intently at the black card filled with hundreds of thousands of yen, her heart nearly breaking.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Mr. Shozo Yuki."

"No, you're the one who's had a hard time. May I ask what you and that little guy Sugo talked about? He's quite capable, but he might be a bit too arrogant and reckless."

Momo shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we had a very pleasant conversation. I'm young too, aren't I? I especially like Nobuyuki Sugo's enthusiasm. He has now been appointed as the manager and head of the ALO project."

A hint of surprise appeared in Yuki Shozo's eyes as he said, "The chairman has a keen eye for talent; it's a blessing for young people."

Mo Mo nodded and said, "Yes, but Mr. Yuki Shozo, I would also like to ask you for some good fortune. Would you be willing?"

Yuki Shozo was taken aback, wondering what Mo Mo was up to.

"Then, let me put it another way."

Mo Mo stood up, bowed deeply to Yuki Akira, and said, "Uncle, do I have the opportunity to become your son-in-law?"

Shozo Yuuki was stunned, his mouth agape, the size of which was even larger than that of Nobuyuki Sugo. The fact that Shozo Yuuki, who was usually expressionless, could do this showed his astonishment.

"You're not joking, are you? Chairman, this joke doesn't seem funny."

"Uncle, do you think I'm joking? As you can see, I'm a sixteen-year-old boy who happened to see your daughter and was amazed by her beauty. That's why I had the opportunity to ask you this question today."

“I’m not kidding, I’m serious. You see, I feel like the light bulb above my head is about to fall off.”

Above Momo's head, Reimu Hakurei was sitting on a lamp, her gaze occasionally drifting to the lamp's axis, seemingly pondering how to make the lamp fall down.

017 I pledge my life

"Chairman, you're quite humorous. How about I think about it for a moment?"

"of course can!"

Shozo Yuki was far more composed and experienced than Nobuyuki Sugo. Apart from his less-than-stellar judgment of people, he was quite competent as a CEO.

After a brief moment of reflection, Yuki Shozo, combining everything that had happened that day, had almost grasped the truth, and his gaze towards Mo Mo had turned into one of shock.

"Chairman, is everything you've done for my daughter?"

Although it seemed somewhat unbelievable, Shozo Yuuki still tried to ask.

After all, it's truly unbelievable that someone would spend two hundred billion US dollars on his daughter. Moreover, the man seems to be one of the most outstanding men in terms of status, appearance, and wealth.
