"Are you concerned about me? I'm fine. St. Freya wouldn't dare to treat me badly. They are very polite."
"Don't be so stubborn. A broken hand doesn't convince me."
"Ha! What happened in Changkong City was not my subjective intention, but if you look at it from that child's perspective, then I can't say I'm innocent. I had foreseen this day, but it came too suddenly and I almost capsized in the ditch."
Under Kerla's disapproving gaze, Cocolia seemed defeated. She grabbed her empty sleeves, sighed and lowered her head.
Kella stepped forward at the right moment and gently pressed Cocolia's head against her chest. She was silent, but her straight and handsome back was as firm and reliable as a mountain.
No one wanted to disturb this scene. Many people even looked at the two beauties embracing each other with envy.
Xing didn't want to break this rare atmosphere, so she just glared at Bronya fiercely, and then stopped being manic.
……
Kerla didn't stay long. She just chatted with Cocolia for a while, then patted the heads of Bronya, Xing and Nindy, and then boarded the plane and left.
Yet Walter, Tesla and Einstein are still here.
With so many powerful high-ranking officials from Anti-Entropy present, it was difficult for Saint Freya to remain calm, and she arranged the best conference room to receive them.
Xing sat next to Cocolia, looking at her empty sleeves, with anger always lingering on her little face.
"So that guy just left like that? That's kind of... that's kind of..."
Xing scratched her head irritably, wanting to say something but stopping herself, mainly because she didn't know how to address Kerla.
Cocolia curled her lips, hugged Xing's body, caressed her lovingly, and said:
"We are all fighting for our ideals. The Shenzhou branch has just been opened, and she has too many things to deal with. Naturally, she has to spend her time on the most valuable things... Unlike some people, who are nominally leaders of organizations or high-level officials, but spend their days idling around and not doing their work."
Cocolia's eyes swept over the Walter trio and Theresa.
"Ahem!" ×4
"puff!"
The awkward fake coughs came from the four people who were named, while the uncontrollable giggles came from Kiana.
Then Mei Raiden quickly covered Kiana's mouth and smiled awkwardly at everyone.
Xing whined for a while under Cocolia's caress, but finally suppressed her temper, not wanting to cause trouble for her mother at this time.
Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the hardest part was over, and turned to the Anti-Entropy Trio.
"Then, what is the purpose of the alliance leader and the two doctors coming from afar?"
"Don't get me wrong, I don't care what happens to you. It's mainly because Ningdi couldn't sit still that we had to come along."
"Then you really have nothing to do. Have you finished the project? Have you produced any results from your research? Don't you have anything else to do?"
"I...I...you...you can't speak!"
Dr. Tesla, who was known for his sweet talk, criticized Cocolia's verbal skills with a dark face.
Einstein and Walter looked at each other, both showing helplessness.
Afterwards, Walter put on a serious expression and said:
"It's unexpected that Angie became a Herrscher, but it also makes sense. After all, new Herrschers have to be born. What I want to ask is, what do you think about this?"
"No matter what, An Qi is my disciple!"
"That's right, Angie will always be a part of Saint Freya, and we will never give up on her!"
Fu Hua represented Taixu Mountain and Ji Zi represented Saint Freya, and they expressed their attitudes at the first opportunity.
Walter smiled as if he had expected this.
"Warm and reliable love is the most critical anchor for the Herrscher to regain his humanity. It seems that we have made a good start. With this foundation, it is possible for the child to get rid of the nightmare and return to you safely... Cocolia, what do you think?"
Cocolia's tough stance on collapse is clear to all.
The people present are still unsure whether Cocolia's attitude towards Raiden Mei's annihilation has changed.
And she almost died in Anqi's incident.
Right now, her attitude is very disturbing.
Cocolia frowned, pinched Xing's cheeks, and said:
"Space distortion, space creation, mental interference, clones, immortality - she has shown too many powers, and these abilities may not even be all of them. Such a Herrscher may not be as direct as the Herrscher of Space and the Herrscher of Thunder in terms of destructive power, but she is undoubtedly more comprehensive in combat and is very difficult to deal with."
"So, what are you going to do?"
Fu Hua's eyes became serious. Protecting her disciple was her only choice.
The rest of Saint Freya held the same firm attitude.
Cocolia shook her head and sighed in exhaustion:
"First the leader, then Delta of Destiny, then Mei of Raiden... I no longer understand the Herrscher's position. I won't mess around with Angie's affairs. You can try to pull her back to the human side. But if you can't do it, then I will take action. I will only take action based on one point - is she working for Honkai or for humanity? It's that simple."
Everyone relaxed.
So, Cocolia withdrew from the matter.
Chapter 248 One More
Walter and the other two shared with Saint Freya their experiences in dealing with human hermetic issues.
There was no need to say anything about Saint Freya, she listened attentively, some even took notes.
In their eyes, Angie's hidden dangers far surpassed Raiden Mei's. At this time, apart from the half-century of anti-entropy with the Herrscher, they had no other reliable experience to refer to. No sensible person would count on Delta, because the experience of the salted fish was too unique, and it was completely different from the diligent and sensible Angie, and it seemed difficult to apply.
Cocolia was not interested in this topic. She hugged the soft and fragrant body of Apricot, her eyes empty, and gradually thought about the gains and losses of this time.
Although it was an awkward fight that started off well but ended badly, after this battle, Angel escaped from Saint Freya, took over the crown of the Herrscher, and legitimately got the ticket to enter various big stages in the future. At the same time, it also laid a foreshadowing for Su's exit and the inheritance of Su's power, which could be freely expanded.
After counting all these gains, An Qi was satisfied with the script.
Regardless of other things, at least when it comes to revenge, An Qi has done everything she could.
From now on, she doesn't owe the world anything, and the world doesn't owe her anything. An Qi is An Qi, and she only needs to work hard for her goals and wishes.
Oh, by the way, speaking of revenge, I almost forgot about individuals.
Cocolia touched her chin and suddenly remembered something.
……
"Send Thunder Dragon Horse to the front line."
Late at night, after the meeting, on the way to the reception room arranged by Saint Freya, Cocolia suddenly raised a topic.
Walter was obviously a little confused.
"Uh……"
"He has no other value now except for his decent skills and military experience. You can ask him whether he would rather start from scratch or continue to follow you without any status."
"..."
Walter, Einstein and Tesla looked at each other, feeling overwhelmed by this sudden topic.
However, if you think about it carefully, this seems to be the best choice for Thunder Ryoma.
Cocolia is watching from above, and Thunder Ryoma cannot get back any of his previous foundation, and the executors cannot let go of the crime of Changkong City and the misappropriation of funds. Going to the front line to atone for his sins and accumulate merits at the same time is the only way for Thunder Ryoma to continue to stay in Anti-Entropy.
Cocolia did not hide her personal grudge and added:
"Besides, the criminals of Changkong City have already paid the price. Is it appropriate for him, the custodian of the conquest gem, to be so relaxed? As an executor, I propose my opinion on how to deal with Thunder Dragon Horse - stay at the front line, atone for his sins or die on the battlefield. It is up to him and no one else."
Originally Cocolia was dead, there is no doubt about that.
Bronya and Raiden Mei also tasted the regret and pain they deserved.
As for the World Snake, the Jackal is dead and the Gray Snake has long been included in Angel's script. It only depends on when to squeeze all his value out of him.
There was only one Thunder Dragon Horse left. After thinking about it, Anqi felt unhappy because she couldn't make the right arrangements.
"I see."
After the three elders exchanged glances for a while, Walter nodded slowly, with a bit of helpless melancholy.
In terms of emotion, Walter knew that Thunder Ryoma would accept such atonement, and he should accept it.
Logically, when Cocolia proposed the idea as an executor, the other executors would undoubtedly give her face and vote in favor. The proposal would eventually pass, unless Walter really failed to distinguish between public and private and forced it down as the leader, but he was not that kind of person.
Bronya, who was held by Cocolia's hand, was about to say something but stopped herself, and finally lowered her head with a gloomy look in her eyes.
The four of them, mother and daughter, entered the suite arranged by Saint Freya.
Xing gave Bronya a vicious look, then dragged Nindy to the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack for Cocolia.
Bronya did not resist Cocolia's closeness. She lay in her arms, feeling the tenderness and tolerance from her mother. The depressed mood that had accumulated over the past two days finally saw a little sunshine.
"Mom, is there any treatment plan for your hand?"
"Of course we have. We at Anti-Entropy lack everything except high-tech. What worries me is whether it is better to get a powerful robotic arm or the original human arm."
"That's still a human arm. Mechanical ones are cold and have no feeling. Bronya thinks that feeling is not good."
The impulsive push of An and the aftereffects of being forced to participate in the X-10 experiment caused Bronia to lose not only her facial expression function, but also the function of her legs. Bronia's legs are unconscious and she can only stand and walk with the help of an exoskeleton.
Bronya didn't want Cocolia to experience the feeling of being cold, numb, and not being able to feel the existence of her limbs.
Cocolia smiled, looking at Bronya's gray eyes looking up at her, her smile filled with infinite tenderness and pity.
This hurdle has been passed and the final barrier has been removed. At least for Angel, now she can truly like Bronya.
"I understand. I will consider it carefully. However, I thought you would plead for Thunder Ryoma."
"…I thought about it, because he is Mei's father after all. But he is also a criminal in Changkong City, and my mother is like this, Bronya can't say it."
Seeing Cocolia's empty sleeves, Bronya felt mixed emotions and her nose and eyes started to ache.
Bronya had always had some feelings towards the original Cocolia, and now after Angel replaced her, the previous conflicts were also reconciled in a series of operations. Now, Bronya undoubtedly cherishes her mother very much, and such an injury is a great stimulation to her.
But at the same time, it was impossible for Bronya to hate Angel.
Two important people are opposing each other, and Bronya, standing in the middle, is naturally extremely confused and painful, much more uncomfortable than Raiden Mei, who is simply feeling guilty and self-blaming.
Cocolia understood Bronya's difficulties. She sighed softly, stroked the little girl's head, and said softly:
"Don't be sad. Isn't there still a chance to save the situation? The Red Iris Immortal trusts the former civilization warrior very much. From what I know, he is also a good person with noble character. So the person you are worried about will come back eventually. As for me... you don't need to worry about me. Who do you think I am? It's just an arm. Compared with what I, your mother, have been through, it's nothing."
"Bronya seems to understand. After all, I was tasked with assassinating the witch, and then I was captured by my mother and taken to the orphanage."
"Hahaha! I would have almost forgotten if you hadn't told me! Who would have thought that the famous Ural Big Tail Wolf was actually a little girl - I should have cut those people into pieces at the time instead of just killing them so easily!"
"Mom, don't be angry. You've just been hurt so badly. You need to be calm and recuperate. Also, it's a Ural Silver Wolf, not a Big Tail Wolf!"
Bronya's cheeks were puffy and round, and her fair skin looked like two white and tender boiled eggs.
It was rare to see Bronia having such a bad temper. Cocoliaton found it interesting and reached out to poke Bronia's face.
Then there was a puffing sound of air leaking.
Bronya had a blank expression on her face, but there was even more resentment in her eyes.
"Hahaha!"
"Mama Cocolia!"
"Hey, whose little cutie is this? She's so cute even when she's angry? Turns out she's mine! Come on, let mommy kiss you, mua~mua~mua~~"
Bronya wanted to escape, but she was reluctant to use force on Cocolia. She couldn't get rid of her arms and could only sob.
In the kitchen, Xing, who was cutting vegetables, began to tremble with her hands and broke out in a cold sweat.
It's over. They forgot that there are only three daughters here. If Mother Cocolia gets interested, all three of them will be doomed!
……
The next day, Bronya and Xing both looked a little empty-eyed, as if they were burned out.
Theresa and Himeko also looked tired.
"Teacher Jizi, Principal, what are you doing?"
"Don't mention it. Didn't your mother give me some coexistence treaties between Saint Freya and the East Sea Base last night? Then Jizi pressed my head and asked me to study it overnight... She can check and handle this matter by herself. Why did she ask the principal to do it?"
Theresa glared at Himeko with resentment.
Jizi narrowed her eyes. As there were outsiders present, she did not criticize Theresa. She just smiled politely and handed the signed treaty to Cocolia.
