Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"What?"

Argo shrugged indifferently and said, "I'm not doing anything. I've just had enough. I'm going to tell Asuna that I, this wild girl, am better than her."

"You keep saying you're better than me, but where exactly are you better, Argo? I can't see it!"

Asuna seemed to be provoked as well, and retorted to Argo.

"what?"

Argo smiled slightly and said, "I am better than you, whether you believe it or not."

"Because I'm prepared to die with Momo."

097 Stop her!

His tone was calm, yet it contained the deepest resolve. All of Argo's previous concerns had now vanished, revealing his purest intentions.

Argo likes Momo and doesn't want to give her up.

It's that simple.

Asuna looked at Argo, and the two girls stared at each other. This time, neither of them backed down.

Faced with Asuna at this moment, Argo felt that he had no reason to back down. Compared to Asuna, who had changed her mind for various reasons, Argo had more faith in himself.

She knew she was far less outstanding and far less beautiful than Asuna, but compared to Asuna, she was more willing to give and risk everything to protect what she valued most.

This is where Argo's confidence in Biasna's strength lies. At least for now, Argo still wants to be by Momo's side and face everything Momo is about to face together.

This is Argo, not the most beautiful girl, but certainly the most daring mouse.

Normally, it can be a smiling hamster, but in critical moments, it can transform into a ferocious Tasmanian devil.

"Is this what you wanted to say? You finally dare to say it, Argo, you finally can't take it anymore?"

Asuna and Argo locked eyes, each trying to see the other's resolve through their gaze, while also expressing their own.

"I see, Asuna."

“I’m not like you. You were born into wealth, have a rich life, a happy family, and a smooth future. As for me, Argonaut, I’m much worse off than you.”

"However, I will not feel inferior because of this. I know that everything needs to be earned by myself. My grandparents are all I have left in my life. I am willing to work hard and do everything I can to reduce their pressure and fight for their smiles."

Argo looked at Asuna with a gentle smile and said, "And now, there's another person in my life, Momo. It's okay if you gave up on him, you still have me."

"Now that things have developed this way, I don't need to worry about anything anymore. Asuna, I will follow Momo. From today onwards, I will be Momo's woman."

Asuna's hands trembled as she slowly reached out and grasped the sword hilt.

"Huh? Are you getting angry and embarrassed? Are you planning to attack me? Is it because you abandoned the man you didn't want, and now you won't even allow me, Argo, to rush up and embrace him?"

Argo's gentle smile vanished in an instant. The hamster, which had just shown a slightly adorable expression, revealed the Tasmanian devil's fangs in the next moment.

"What a pity, what I'm about to do is not something you have the right to allow. Momo has nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to do with you. Asuna, if I wanted to die, would you stop me?"

"bass--"

The rapier was drawn from its sheath; its pure white blade remained elegant and beautiful, yet it subtly exuded a chilling sense of danger.

"President! You can't make a move! You can't just act rashly!"

Seeing this, Yuriel quickly tried to dissuade Asuna. Although Argo had just made a move, she was still a green-named character. Making a rash move would only turn Asuna into a yellow-named character.

Yellow name and red name are symbols of evil. Under no circumstances should a guild leader become a red name or a yellow name, otherwise the guild's reputation will no longer be trusted.

"Don't worry, Yuriel, I'm very calm."

But Yuriel was not at all at ease. She could tell that Asuna's calmness was something that required immense willpower to maintain.

What exactly is supporting Asuna? What makes Asuna, who is already in such a precarious situation, still maintain such a strong appearance?

“You’re right, Argo.”

"I have no right to interfere with your thoughts and decisions. I also have no right to interfere with Momo right now. However, there are some things that I can control."

With a flick of the sword tip, Argo's pupils contracted. Asuna had already appeared behind her with the sword technique, her speed so fast that Argo could barely react.

"So fast... such a powerful sword..."

Argo seemed stunned and remained unresponsive for a long time, as if she hadn't even noticed that the ring box in her hand had disappeared.

“This thing is mine. Even if it has lost its original value, it is still mine. Although it was just a gift from Momo, you have no right to take it away.”

"I am the only one who has the right to dispose of this thing."

Argo turned around in response and looked at the ring box on the tip of Asuna's sword. The ring box had been pierced by the sword tip, and a terrible crack appeared on it.

Because of the laws of physics, ring boxes also have durability. Generally speaking, their durability will not be consumed, but if the player insists on attacking the ring box, it can be destroyed.

For example, right now.

"Snapped--"

With a soft sound, the ring box shattered quietly, turning into a mosaic and disappearing without a trace.

"What's mine is mine. Even if it's worthless in my eyes, I'd rather destroy it. It's still mine, not someone else's."

Everyone stared in astonishment at the drifting light, their hearts shattering, just like the wedding of Momo and Asuna, which was destined to become a mirage.

Unlike the others, in the distance, in a corner, Tilberu, who had been quiet all along, looked at the fluttering fragments of the ring box with disbelief in his eyes.

"What is this? A demonstration? As expected of Asuna, she possesses such great power!"

Argo sighed sincerely, then scoffed again, saying, "But Asuna, with such power, a power I can't even react to, what have you done?"

"Not only did you let Momo be besieged by all the players, but perhaps you did it for what you called justice back then, but look at you now!"

"Mo Mo has been taken away by dozens of red-named players. They're going to kill Mo Mo! What are you doing? Why aren't you using your sword? Why aren't you attacking those red-named players, but instead attacking me, your former friend?"

"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. Asuna, what is your power? You possess such power, yet you can do nothing. You are nothing but a beautiful beast in appearance. Momo misjudged you, and so did I."

Asuna looked coldly at Argo and said, "This is my choice, this is my principle, what right do you have to criticize me?"

"You just said that I am nothing to you. Now I return that statement to you. So what are you to me?"

"You like my boyfriend, and now you're spouting nonsense at me. How can I consider someone like you a friend?"

Asuna raised her sword, pointing it at Argo's forehead. Argo knew that, given the speed Asuna had just displayed, she wouldn't be able to withstand even a single blow from Asuna if she wanted to attack.

"What, aren't you going to make a move?"

"What's the point of taking action? If you really want to die with those red-named players, then go ahead. If you want to die at the hands of red-named players, why should I dirty my hands for you?"

Argo smiled and said, "Interesting. Now that's how you are, you seem like a complete person. Asuna, was your previous gentle, considerate, and naive image all a facade? Is this cold, elite image the real you?"

"Just each other."

Argo sighed softly and said, "It seems we have nothing more to say."

There was really nothing more to say. Argo, holding her dagger, walked towards a large group of red-named players in the distance with firm steps. The players in front of her made way for her, as if an invisible force separated them.

"Asuna, you will regret this. You have lost the most precious thing in a girl's life. And this time, I will never let go, not even if it kills me, and not even if anyone tries to take it from me."

Asuna slowly sheathed her sword, and the two were now back to back, but her expression grew increasingly cold.

"Is that so? Let me see how long your so-called love can last when you and Momo face death."

"...If...if I find out that Momo really did die and you're still alive...I will laugh at you...laugh at you forever."

"Did you hear that, Argo!"

Argo continued walking, a cold smile still playing on his lips, and said, "I don't need your concern. I understand perfectly well."

"This time, I've given it my all."

Argo walked towards a large group of red-named players. Momo was one of the tallest among the red-named players, and even surrounded by them, Momo's face was still vaguely visible.

In a daze, Argo seemed to see the gentle smile on Momo's face.

It's this kind of smile that's neither a formulaic perfunctory gesture nor a deliberate attempt to please; it's simply a smile radiating appreciation and joy, a smile that warms the heart.

Momo, I've been captivated by your smile for a long time!

"Mo Mo, I'm here..."

Argo quickened her pace, eventually breaking into a jog. No one stood in her way, nor could anyone bear to block the path of this martyr who wanted to die with her lover. All the players, with awe in their eyes, made way for her.

"Stop her!"

Heathcliff's face turned ashen, and he roared!

Upon hearing this, several players belonging to the Knights of the Blood Oath gritted their teeth, jumped out of the crowd, drew their weapons, and stood in front of Argo.

"Miss, our guild leader said, please stop!"

"roll!"

Argo didn't stop. The rat-tail dagger in his hand had already lit up. Man and sword became one, and his dazzling sword skills rushed straight towards the players. The bright sword tip was already shining in the pupils of the players.

"Ding!"

With a soft sound, the players who made the move were all die-hard Heathcliff fans, each holding a shield. The tall player at the head blocked Argo's attack.

Neither of them had any change in health after blocking the attack, so Argo did not turn yellow.

“Miss Argo, please calm down, our president…”

Having missed his first strike, Argo seemed to have no time to hesitate. He flipped the dagger, ducked, and thrust it into the player's waist.

098 Sweet dreams!

Argo's strength at this moment is undoubtedly among the top of all players.

In addition, she was using a dagger that was rarely used by ordinary players, and it was a weapon that Lisbeth had carefully crafted, with excellent attributes. There were very few players who could stop Argo.

However, these players are clearly acting together, are familiar with each other, and cooperate well. They may even be players specially trained by Heathcliff.

Argo's figure became almost blurry. The clanging sounds of impacts continued, and the small dagger had stabbed several players in different parts of their bodies countless times, but all of them were blocked by the small shields on their arms.

"Damn it! Damn it!"
