Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"No, you have to catch it with your hands."

Shi Hen answered coldly and ruthlessly.

If Peggy really has the potential, then with the blessing of Honkai energy, she will be able to outrun Rabbit.

"..."

In an instant, the excitement on Peggy's face froze and her whole body turned flaxen.

Chapter 43: Do You Want to Have Another Mother?

After driving to a small town, Raven wandered into a bar and when he came out, he made an OK gesture to Shi Hen.

Nodding, Shi Hen immediately took out a few bills and said, "Go buy some snacks."

Looking at the brand new banknotes handed over by the boy, a hint of resentment appeared in Peggy's eyes.

But the girl was not a delicate person after all, so she just asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever you want, buy whatever you like, and I'll keep the rest for you as pocket money."

Shi Hen didn't care about this question.

Peggy's expression suddenly became even more resentful.

The car door opened with a clang, and the girl ran out of the car, her short light blonde hair that reached her neck swinging back and forth.

"That kid seems to like you very much."

Returning to the driver's seat, Raven smiled and joked.

"That's only because I saved her."

Shi Hen shrugged.

"Isn't this enough?"

Staring directly at the boy, Raven demanded.

"This is just a kind of dependence." Ignoring the coercive meaning in the mercenary's eyes, Shi Hen opened a bag of beef jerky and put it towards Raven, "Want to eat?"

Mysterious, powerful, handsome... a thirteen-year-old girl is at the age when her emotions are budding. Shi Hen, who possesses these attributes, is as dazzling as the sun to Peggy, not to mention that the boy also saved her life.

But as a man who aspires to become a big boss, Shi Hen is not interested in this kind of house-like game, nor does he think that Peggy can keep up with him.

And most importantly, he doesn't like bean sprouts.

Looking at Peggy who was tricked into buying snacks, and then looking at the beef jerky in front of him, Raven was silent for a moment, then picked up a piece and said, "Eat."

"Have you figured out everything?"

Shi Hen asked, stuffing a piece of beef jerky into his mouth.

He was referring to this mission.

Although training Peggy took up some time, he and Raven still had the World Snake mission to accomplish on this trip.

"Yeah. Cocolia had a fight with several other warlords a while ago, and defeated the coalition of five forces." Raven said while eating beef jerky, "But unfortunately, some of them are our debt collectors."

"...This Cocolia is quite amazing."

Shi Hen praised sincerely.

Although her understanding of Honkai is somewhat superficial, Cocolia's abilities are indeed remarkable.

"Yeah, so we're out of luck."

Raven was a little helpless.

This kind of thing has a great impact on her debt collection.

"Are those guys dead?"

Shi Hen thought for a moment and asked.

"They hid themselves." Raven sighed. "By the way, the group of people we met before were the deserters under these guys."

Shi Hen: "Are they the ones who destroyed Peggy's village?"

If you think about it carefully, those guys were indeed in a pretty mess.

"Who else could it be?"

Raven said unhappily, his tone full of contempt for those people.

As a mercenary, she didn't dare to say how clean she was, but she wasn't so bad as to attack a group of unarmed civilians.

Moreover, if you want supplies, it's fine if you can just steal some things, but massacring an entire village is clearly overstepping the bottom line of being a human being.

"It looks like Siberia will be in chaos for a while."

Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh.

He was sure that Peggy's experience was not an isolated case and that similar things must be happening in this land.

"After destruction comes new life. I think this place will be more peaceful in the future."

The raven seemed to be filled with emotion as well.

"Can Destiny watch Cocolia take over here?"

Shi Hen asked in surprise.

Theoretically, Siberia is under the jurisdiction of the Far East branch, and the other party would not allow an anti-entropy executor to cause trouble here.

"Who do you think supported those warlords?" Raven rolled his eyes. "Besides, Cocolia did not use Titan mechas on the battlefield, so it did not violate the agreement between the two organizations. It is difficult for Destiny to say anything."

Not using Honkai weapons in non-Honkai battlefields is a common agreement between Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

Of course, when it comes to implementation... as long as no evidence is left, it can be treated as if it never happened.

“There seems to be a lot of stories here.”

Shi Hen's eyes lit up slightly.

Although on the surface it was only Kokolia who defeated the coalition of the five warlords and became the overlord of the Siberian region.

But behind the scenes, Destiny and Anti-Entropy must have used a lot of tricks, and maybe even the World Serpent was secretly involved.

However, judging from the results, we can only say that Cocolia does have some abilities, and she is worthy of being the woman who almost became the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance.

Of course, what Cocolia achieved was only an apparent victory. As for the reality... God knows how many chess pieces the World Serpent has buried here.

Don't forget that Siberia's military industry is secretly carrying the logo of the World Serpent.

Perhaps for Gray Snake, this war was just a way for him to change his investment target.

And after a few years, when Tianming was free, Cocolia, who had become the acting leader of Anti-Entropy, was still forcibly crushed to Haiyuan City, and even the orphanage could not be saved.

"But these have nothing to do with us now." Raven waved his hand, "Now the important thing is to find those hidden mice."

The subsequent plans of the World Serpent in Siberia are handled by other people, and their task is only to collect debts.

"Sister Natasha must have some clues, right?"

Shi Hen asked in a matter-of-fact tone.

He really believed in the strength of this mercenary queen.

Besides, the popular information just now is not worth Raven's personal action.

"If I say no, would you believe me?" Raven's beautiful eyes slightly frowned, "No one likes boys who are too smart."

She wanted to tease the boy more.

"What about Sister Natasha?"

He asked softly, a smile forming on Shi Hen's lips.

Noticing the boy's smiling gaze, the raven couldn't help but spit and turned his head away, pretending to have just noticed and shouted: "Peggy is out."

In fact, after leaving the store, the girl had already spent a full three minutes on this journey that took less than 30 seconds.

But without the permission of Shi Hen and Raven, the girl did not dare to approach rashly.

Peggy was sensible enough to know that there were certain topics she couldn't listen to.

So even though they had been together for almost ten days, the girl had never asked about their origins and purposes. She just tried her best to fulfill Shi Hen's requests one by one, no matter how harsh those conditions were.

Glancing at the helpless boy, Raven waved to Peggy, and the girl immediately trotted over after getting permission.

After getting in the car, Peggy opened the plastic bag and showed the various snacks inside like a treasure: "Hen, which one do you want to eat?"

“…This is it.”

Being looked at expectantly by the girl, Shi Hen didn't harden his heart and reached out to take a chocolate.

As if her efforts were recognized, Peggy suddenly smiled brightly.

While eating chocolate, Shi Hen looked at the skinny girl who looked malnourished. He smiled and asked, "Peggy, do you want to have another mother?"

As the most professional child collector in the Honkai World, Cocolia has to go and take a good look, and give those little guys a little beating from the Anti-Entropy Leader.

"...?"

Peggy glanced at Shi Hen, and then at the smiling Raven beside her. She was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression as if she was about to cry.

The girl knew that some correctional institutions liked to let adopted children call their own father or mother, so was she really a step too late?

Chapter 44: Debt Collection

After driving out of the town, Raven drove all the way and finally arrived at a manor before sunset.

Regarding this speed, Shi Hen just silently gave him the middle finger.

If he were left to fly on his own, he was even confident that he could catch up with the accelerated rocket.

However, if you really want to pursue speed, Raven can actually outrun a car with the power of Honkai.

But, this is very uncool.

So, when faced with the soldiers patrolling and blocking the road outside the manor, Raven simply stepped on the accelerator and casually threw out a few black and red feathers.

boom!

The feathers suddenly exploded when they hit the ground, and the scalding heat and spreading shock waves knocked dozens of soldiers to the ground.

"Tell Andre that I, the Raven, have arrived!"

He parked the SUV directly in front of the manor gate. Raven rolled down the window and put one hand on the steering wheel and shouted inside. His voice was not loud but could be heard from far away.

A group of soldiers held their guns and looked at each other, not knowing whether to shoot or help the other party pass the message.

Although Raven stopped the car at this time and became a fixed target, judging from the other party's extremely arrogant behavior, it is hard to believe that they had no support.

Once you make the wrong choice, the price may be your life.

The dozens of patrolmen who tried to stop the enemy are still lying on the ground wailing.

They just came here to serve as soldiers and didn't want to die.

Seeing Raven and his car stunning the whole audience, Peggy in the back seat almost had stars in her eyes.

Although Shi Hen has shown some tricks in the past few days, how could they be as simple and direct as Raven?

Not paying any attention to Peggy who had become a little fangirl behind him, Raven just tapped lightly on the steering wheel with his fingers, totally oblivious to the fact that his body was exposed to dozens of guns of various types.

Shi Hen, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, glanced at the gunmen who were spotted all over the manor, but didn't take the matter seriously.

If Raven could be killed by these miscellaneous soldiers, he would not be a cadre of the World Serpent.

Shi Hen glanced around casually, and only lingered on the wailing soldiers for a few seconds.

In a sense, these patrolmen had suffered an unprovoked disaster and were somewhat innocent, but he and Raven were not here to reason, so Shi Hen would not complain about the mercenaries' cruel methods.

Everyone has his own way of survival, and Iron, Blood and Thunder is the way of survival chosen by Raven.

Shi Hen and his companions did not have to wait too long. Soon, a burly man dressed more gorgeously than the others came out.

"Lord Raven, General Andre invites you in."

Opening the car door, the burly man bowed his head and said respectfully.

"What about others?"
