"That's hard to say, Virgil." Dante turned his head and glanced at Huang Quan. "Maybe you can't beat her. After all, I haven't seen her fight seriously all this time. How strong she is is still unknown."

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan stuck the knife in his hand into the ground and leaned forward, looking like a bystander.

"Then wait for me to knock you to the ground, and then see how capable she is." Virgil stopped looking at Huang Quan and focused all his energy on Dante.

The two brothers had fought from birth until now, each seemingly possessing their own set of experiences. One preferred a bold and aggressive style, his combat style filled with exaggeration and passion; the other preferred simplicity and clarity, with ruthlessness and efficiency being his defining characteristics.

It was precisely because of such completely different fighting methods that they were forced to clash with each other. Not only was there no quick decision on the outcome, but instead they dealt with each other like a tacit duet.

However, Huang Quan could also see that the two brothers really wanted to kill each other.

This...can probably be considered a kind of tacit understanding.

Dante and Vergil fought to a standstill, and finally, they both activated their demonic transformations, ready to deliver their most powerful blow to decide the outcome. But just as they were about to clash, the demonized Nero appeared, instantly separating the two.

The son came to mediate between his father and uncle. Huang Quan watched Nero interfering between the two brothers and wondered if he should applaud. But then he thought, standing there like an outsider, it would be best not to interfere in their family affairs.

Nero suddenly appeared and knocked Dante down with one punch, avenging the previous "burden", and then launched a gorgeous rebellion against his father Virgil, beating up the old man who was already seriously injured from the fierce fight with Dante, and successfully persuaded him to stop fighting.

But the mess created by the devil Virgil is still there, and the demon tree that connects the demon world and the human world is still growing. Virgil and Dante decide to enter the demon world and cut down the demon tree from the root, so as to restore peace to the human world.

Huang Quan then stopped watching and stood up to call Virgil.

"Virgil." She held out her hand to the slinger. "Give me the Yama Blade."

Virgil:?

Dante:?

Nero was just about to say that he wanted to go along, but was interrupted by Huang Quan and was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't someone say that just now?" Virgil glanced at Dante.

"Yeah, why don't you repeat your answer?" Dante looked back and sneered.

"What do you want the Yama Blade for, Huang Quan?" The two old men were in a state of disarray, and it was Nero who got the point across.

"Chopping down trees," Huang Quan replied calmly. "My knife isn't sharp enough. I heard the Yama Blade can cut through space. I should be able to cut the demon tree connecting the two worlds directly from here."

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Virgil frowned slightly. "No one has that kind of power!"

Dante took the opportunity to rush to Virgil and snatched the Yama Sword into his hands.

"It won't cost her anything to try anyway." He grinned. "Maybe Huang Quan can really open our eyes."

Virgil spat and reached out to snatch the Yama Blade back, but Dante was quicker and threw it directly at Huang Quan, who was standing still.

"Okay! Then teach this old guy a lesson!"

Huang Quan raised his hand and steadily caught the Yama Sword, then he made a flower-shaped sword in his hand and put it at his waist.

The next moment, all three of them sensed a change in the aura emanating from Huangquan. This place, clearly closest to the sun and brimming with sunlight, felt strangely chilled, as if enveloped in dark clouds.

Virgil even noticed that the Yama Blade seemed to be tinged with a completely different color in Huang Quan's hand.

A heavy rain is about to fall on the earth. This thought occurred to the three people at the same time.

Huang Quan suddenly said to them: "Please point out the direction of the demon world for me."

Dante instantly felt deflated. Virgil shook his head, averted his gaze, and turned toward the edge of the treetops. Nero raised his hand, pointed at his father's back, and said, "That way."

Virgil immediately turned around and glared at his son.

Huang Quan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then closed his eyes and slowly lowered his center of gravity.

"Mourning for the dead..."

Suddenly, raindrops fell from the sky, and the coldness instantly enveloped the area.

"The evening rain will eventually fall."

Huang Quan finished her eulogy, and the Yama Blade instantly unsheathed! Raindrops fell from the sky and rose again, a bone-piercing chill spreading and gathering in an instant. They all coalesced into a single, unstoppable blade strike, slicing down from above, shattering the demonic tree from the very center.

The blade light rushed straight to the gap between the human world and the demon world, and its momentum suddenly increased, and finally hit the rift between the two worlds, completely annihilating it!

It was over. Huang Quan sheathed his sword and tossed the Yama Blade back to Virgil. Amidst the violent tremors of the crumbling demon tree, he turned and left...

——The author has something to say——

PS: [Wide-brimmed hat], [Red windbreaker], [High boots], [Spotlight], [Spark Fountain]. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the order of these items. Just search for Dante’s dance on A-B’s website.

PS2: Actually, there are three people who have decided to take this suit route. Now you know one is Yulandel, one is Huangquan, and as for who the last one is, you can guess 233

Volume 147: : Do you want to dance with me? —Huang Quan

In this ending, Huang Quan got the [High Boots] in the set.

Although everyone knows that the suit skills are actually useless when viewed alone, for the sake of fun and not to favor one over the other, let the [Red Windbreaker] take the lead, so let's take a look at its introduction.

High Boots: Why do I wear high boots? Because they're sexy when I dance, and they protect my calf muscles, making it easier to kick your ass. What? You're saying these boots aren't suitable for dancing? Yeah, you're absolutely right. Look at my feet!

Of course, it's not actually a pair of shoes, but just a spiritual symbol. Tip: It won't work if you own it alone, so please collect the complete set as soon as possible.

Although she received the reward, Huang Quan still had a strange feeling. This was because she had seen a scene in this game that was very similar to this series of keywords.

Dante put on the hat and suddenly started dancing in the magic tree. Not only did lights suddenly appear on his body, but there were also flashing neon and spark fountain special effects.

Could it be that this set is actually...

Huang Quan looked thoughtful, which made Wang Xuanqiao want to laugh but he was too embarrassed to do so.

After all, laughing at this moment would inevitably give the impression of being a conspirator. If Huang Quan's reward was truly arranged by himself, Wang Xuanqiao wouldn't mind showing it, but unfortunately, it wasn't.

It was really given to her by the system. Wang Xuanqiao just got a glimpse of the follow-up one step ahead, so he is not responsible for being the "mastermind" behind the scenes.

At this moment, Huang Quan suddenly talked about another thing.

"Even without the presence of players, the story of Devil May Cry 5 can continue normally. It seems like a family drama that only involves Nero, Dante, and Vergil. I can even do nothing and wait for the ending."

Wang Xuanqiao nodded.

"That's true. Because in the original work, the player controls the three of them to play the game. The system version basically forces the player into the story, so there is a high probability that the game will end without doing anything," he said.

"But—" Wang Xuanqiao changed the subject, "Why do you have to 'do nothing'? Now that you've entered this story, it's no longer just their story, it's your story too. Just like just now, why did you take action at the last moment?"

"Because they seem to want to sacrifice themselves." Huang Quan replied, "I understand what you mean, Manager. It's just that when I played it for the first time, I found that the support points of this story were actually a bit fragile."

"That's why he gave you the power to skip levels." Wang Xuanqiao laughed. "He could have let you try again, so why did he give you this function?"

"Because the established story is secondary, what's important is how the player wants to experience the story. So the game doesn't force you to do anything, it just follows your actions and gives you corresponding feedback."

Huang Quan didn't reply and stood there in a daze for a while.

Then, she nodded slightly and said, "I understand, Manager. The games in the arcade are very different from what I've known before. Maybe I should try some other games to learn more about the concept of games."

"Ah? You don't want to play Devil May Cry anymore?" Wang Xuanqiao felt a little regretful.

Huang Quan looked at him meaningfully.

"Do you want to dance with me, Manager?" she suddenly asked.

Wang Xuanqiao:?

After scratching his head for a while, Wang Xuanqiao replied, "It's not that I can't, but I'm not sure I can dance very well."

He wouldn't say that he had just realized that he had become a dancer in the shadows. Perhaps the only time he would appear in the spotlight was when Huang Quan, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a red windbreaker, and high boots, suddenly knocked him down.

What Dangerous.

However, since Huang Quan wanted to try other games, Wang Xuanqiao was naturally ready to join in. Watching from the sidelines was getting a bit boring. If it weren't for the need to ensure timely communication, he would have even considered enabling the live broadcast function.

As it turned out, Huang Quan chose Sekiro as his next game. Wang Xuanqiao shook his head helplessly and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. After all, he had promised to treat Bianca to dinner, and Huang Quan might stay, so he might as well start preparing the ingredients early.

------

The formal negotiations between Pinocchio and the company have not yet begun, but the momentum created by the two parties is constantly increasing, and there is even a vague feeling that the world will be completely changed after the negotiations.

Old Otto, who has essentially taken over the Oak family's control over Pinocchio's management, publicly invited company personnel to a meeting under such circumstances.

The huge airship cruising on the twelve hour horizon, the Phragmites, became the venue for this meeting.

Under the guidance of the family waiter, Feicui and Topa walked into the reception room and met old Aodi himself.

After the greetings, Old Aodi got straight to the point.

"The reason I invited you two to talk this time is actually to persuade the company to give up its plan to acquire Pinocchio." The old man, who looked old but still energetic, started with a laugh but ended with a serious tone.

"You should know that's impossible, Mr. Odi. The turmoil in Pinocchio has become the biggest news in the universe. Three Star Gods have directly cast their mighty power here, and even a deceased Star God has been resurrected. With all due respect, Mr. Odi—"

"The family's credibility has plummeted. Imagine what kind of attention Pinocchio will attract in the near future. You won't have a better choice than accepting the company's entry."

Jade's expression remained unchanged as she spoke slowly and calmly.

"Hohoho, you're right. Those clueless Oak family members have indeed caused a huge mess, but don't forget that only the Oak family is involved in this turmoil. As long as the family deals with the traitors as quickly as possible, the lost credibility will naturally return."

Old Odi raised his head and laughed out loud.

"As for that so-called gaze? Ho ho ho—you and I are both businessmen, and we both know that what businessmen fear most is gazes. No matter what kind of gaze it is, as long as it looks this way, it will become a potential customer of mine, Old Aodi!"

"I won't hide it from you. From now on, under the management of me, Old Odi, Pinocchio will be independently listed on the market across the universe! I will make the financial reports of the Alfalfa family public, so that those with aspirations in the galaxy can see that Pinocchio still has vitality and opportunities. Then the door to beautiful dreams will open to them, and everyone can become a shareholder in this land of dreams!"

"This is the way of harmony that I, Old Emperor Ao, will implement! Hohohohoho——"

But to Old Odi's surprise, the changes that should have been caused by this speech did not happen. The expressions of Jade and Topa remained basically unchanged, and not even a micro-expression appeared.

As his words gradually faded, Jade revealed a hint of a smile.

"I admire your skill, Mr. Oti," she said, "but you are not the one who can really decide this matter."

"Oh? That's a bit surprising to me." Old Odi narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that there's still a point in Pinocchio's affairs that Old Odi can't make a decision on?"

Jade nodded slightly.

"Need I remind you, Mr. Odi?" The corners of her mouth curled up in a playful arc, "It wasn't the family that took Pinocchio back from the Order."

Now, the expression that should have changed appeared on Old Odi's face.

He frowned, stared at the jade for a moment, and suddenly laughed again.

"Hahahahahaha—you're right. The family truly doesn't have the ability to take Pinocchio back from the Star God." Old Odi frankly admitted this fact. "Then let's talk to Old Odi—what are his conditions?"

"Win-win cooperation." Jade replied.

"Win-win cooperation?" Old Odi burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke.

After laughing, he sighed instead.

"What beautiful words these are," said Old Otto. "It's a pity that business is run by people, all kinds of people."

"So, he approved the company's entry. Old Odi has nothing to say now, otherwise it would be a bit short-sighted. But since it's a win-win cooperation, did he say where the family will win?"

Topa answered the question on Emerald's behalf.

"The family will still be the main body of operating Pinocchio, and the new company will also inject capital into Pinocchio and work with the family to vigorously promote the development of Dream World. However, in addition to the company, he believes that a third party should be introduced to balance the situation."

"A third party?" Old Odi stroked his beard, showing some interest.

"Yes. Mr. Odi can be understood as those people who were once led by the watchmaker."

Old Oti suddenly laughed.

"Brilliant! Really brilliant!" he said with a laugh. "Surely, no one is more suitable to share the Pinocchio pie than them, who once liberated Asdena. They can even use the Star Train! Hohohoho - his proposal is indeed brilliant."

"However, Old Odi actually felt that he had missed someone."
