Count Me In!

"Don't worry, we're not here to cause you trouble this time."

Otto was both amused and exasperated by the reactions of the people around him.

"Don't try to fit me into your preconceived notions of what a bishop should be."

"So, what brings you here this time..." Rita asked softly.

"Because you haven't replied for so long, I feel something's not right. Plus, I think the World Serpent organization is also suspicious..."

Otto scratched his head.

"But now, I guess I'm preparing to fight for the happiness of my ungrateful subordinate?"

Otto was quite resentful.

I was ready to part ways amicably with you, but your first reaction after discovering my identity was to kill me?

Where is your conscience?

"Isn't this someone reaping what they sowed?"

Kallen chuckled as she rubbed Amber's breasts from behind.

"Okay, okay... I'll take the blame for AI."

Otto remained silent.

However, Otto then turned his attention to Ragna.

"Speaking of which, what is this Anti-Entropy... Never mind, even if I asked you, you wouldn't answer, would you?"

Otto was aware of Ragna's military discipline; it wasn't something that could be intimidated by mere threats of status.

If the atmosphere were different, Ragna wouldn't just cover his face, he would draw his sword.

"Let me guess, you Anti-Entropy haven't allied with World Serpent, have you? Don't be nervous, I'm also preparing to ally with Anti-Entropy —and let me emphasize again, I'm not the Otto you're thinking of."

"... Let's just say that."

In the hall, Theresa crouched down and ran to Liu Bai and Reanna's table.

These two people were sipping their tea like old people, taking sips here and there.

Liu Bai uses a specially made mini cup, while Reanna uses a regular cup.

"Isn't this Theresa? Stop hunching over, it doesn't make any difference whether you hunch over or not... or rather, you're so short you can't even tell you have a waist."

Theresa's face twitched slightly when she heard Liu Bai's words, but surprisingly she did not refute them.

"Senior Reanna, please make room for me, I need to hide."

"What's the point of hiding here with me...?"

Reanna glanced at the hotel lobby. It was a huge lobby, and there were people at their table towards the back.

"Weren't you just going upstairs? Upstairs is better than here... And what happened that made you so panicked? Did you break one of the doctor's instruments?"

"No... I'll pay for it if you break it."

Theresa shook her head as if she had seen a ghost.

"I just saw a woman with a very grandfatherly air at the door, along with Amber."

"...'Has a particularly grandfatherly vibe'? Does that mean someone looks like Otto?"

Reanna raised her eyebrows slightly.

"As for that Amber... she's Otto's secretary, right? But something sounds a bit off about what you're saying?"

"It's true!"

Theresa's face showed obvious panic.

"I strongly suspect that woman is one of my grandfather's disguised bodies, sent to gather intelligence!"

She actually had mixed feelings about Otto. After all, although Otto did some unethical things, he was very doting on his "granddaughter." The things she had done in the past would have vanished several times over if they were anyone else.

But that's not what she's panicking about right now!

Although she didn't know how to describe it, Theresa's intuition told her that the blonde woman outside who had such a grandfatherly air about her was definitely more terrifying than her own grandfather.

"So now I want to find a reliable person to hide with... Hey, Liu Bai, why do you look so strange?"

"Lord Alliance Leader?"

Only after Theresa said that did Reanna realize that her Alliance Leader's expression was a little strange.

"Theresa, who did you see at the door?"

"Um... which ones?"

Theresa thought for a moment; she had run away the instant she saw the blonde woman.

"It was probably Rita and the others, then Amber and that woman who looked like Grandpa. I didn't see the others clearly."

"I see..."

Liu Bai sighed, "Reanna, lend me your body again."

"Yes."

The next moment, the doll turned into a lifeless object, while Reanna transformed into Liu Bai's appearance.

"... No matter how many times I see this scene, I still feel a little horrified."

Theresa's lips began to twitch; it was broad daylight, so there was no scary atmosphere...

"I'll go check the doorway. Are you coming with me, or are you going to keep looking for a place to hide?" Liu Bai asked, glancing at Theresa as he got up.

"... follow".

Theresa gritted her teeth and answered.

Her intuition told her that it was safest to stay with the other person right now.

Liu Bai got up and walked towards the door. Theresa didn't hesitate and immediately followed.

As Liu Bai approached the door, he gradually began to hear what was being said outside.

"Are you saying that the three of you like the same person?"

Otto's face outside had darkened considerably.

"Is the other party someone from Anti-Entropy?"

"...I guess so." Rita, holding Bianka on her left and Ragna on her right, nodded guiltily.

Although sisterhood can sometimes be quite superficial, the opportunity to have one's own bishop act as a wingman is extremely rare, so one should definitely bring along their best friend and senior colleague.

However, it doesn't sound very good to say this out loud...

"... Isn't this clearly a case of Anti-Entropy using a handsome man as a weapon?"

Hearing Rita's words, Otto now wished he could slap each of these girls to wake them up.

Even if you don't use your brains, just think about it with those fat bulges on your chests. If someone specifically targeted a few of you, there's something fishy going on here!

Even though you all know he's Anti-Entropy person, how could you still fall into his trap?

What kind of good person is this?

"Um... it wasn't exactly a 'handsome man' tactic... although he is indeed handsome."

"..."

Otto's expression darkened further.

Did he tell you about his identity at the beginning, or did you find out after you got to know him?

"Um... I only found out after we got to know each other."

Seeing Otto's motherly demeanor, Rita felt quite guilty.

"... Then I think you'd better think twice before you act, after all..."

Otto really wanted to tell the other person that he was a complete scumbag—wasn't this just a common trick to win a girl's heart? But considering how infatuated the three of them looked, he couldn't bring himself to say it directly.

(Using this method is despicable, it's Anti-Entropy...)

"Otto? Kallen? Susang? You guys got here first?"

Otto was pondering how to subtly expose the scumbag's true colors, a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.

This is--?

Otto's train of thought went blank.

My mind went completely blank.

Completely incapable of thinking.

A violent wave of dizziness shot straight to the top of my head.

"Don't stand outside, come in. It's been a long time."

"Woof woof!"

Chapter 291 Count Me In!

"..."

Did someone just make some kind of loud noise?

As Rita felt her worldview crumble, another person rushed past her like the wind and threw himself into Liu Bai.

"Grandmaster~~"

Li Sushang bumped into Liu Bai, causing him to stumble. However, Li Sushang then clung to Liu Bai like a koala.

"Grandmaster~~ Chang'er has missed you so much~!"

"...You're actually heavier than your mother now." Liu Bai supported Li Sushang's buttocks from below, feeling a rather... soft touch and solid weight.

"Because this young lady is practically skin and bones!"

Li Sushang rubbed against Liu Bai while coquettishly saying this.

"You really deserve a beating for saying that." Liu Bai looked at Li Sushang, who was clinging to him and acting coquettishly, and was speechless.

Isn't this girl's development a bit too much?

She's only 1.5 meters tall, but her development... is already better than Su Mei and Qin Suyi's.

Is all the nutrition of the entire Tai Xu Sword Sect concentrated on this girl?

"Anyway, I can't hear you~ Grandmaster, please~"

As Li Sushang spoke, she took advantage of the situation and tried to rub her face against Liu Bai's —or rather, "Whisper sweet nothings to him."

However, Shibao was the first to erupt, grabbing Li Sushang behind by the collar and baring his teeth at her. "You brat! Don't push your luck!"

"None of your business, you old woman!"

Li Sushang, on the contrary, clung to him even more tightly.

She just loved seeing her grandmaster looking unhappy.

Moreover, this is the only time he can keep bothering his great-grandfather; he might not have the chance again once his mothers come out.

"Who's the old woman?!"

Shibao's eyes twitched, and for a moment he had the urge to make a move, but he remembered what his Teacher Liu had taught him before, so he barely managed to hold back.

As an elder, I should have the demeanor of one... I endured it... I endured it.

"Alright, Susang, how old are you? Why are you still clinging to your great-grandfather?"

Kallen stepped forward, trying to pull Li Sushang down as she spoke.

"Shang'er is only fifteen years old this year, why can't she pester her great-grandfather?"

Li Sushang replied, half-jokingly, "Grandmaster also likes Chang'er the most, right?"

"Kallen is right. You should get down first. It's not good to talk to someone with a koala on you."
