Otto: Congratulations on Finding My Weakness (Continued)
The sudden warning of the attack caught Rita and Durandal completely off guard, leaving them no time to react.
But the next second, it looked like their lances and War Scythe were about to be placed on Bai Ge.
"Behave yourself."
"You are not allowed to move either!"
"Gentlemen, I do not wish to be your enemy."
Mei, Welt, Fu Hua made their move simultaneously.
The katana imbued with Crimson Lightning blocked the knight's lance.
The gravity of the Star of Eden suppressed Durandal.
Fu Hua's fist was also pressed against the stomach of the silly goose.
Oh, I almost forgot, before that, a certain immortal casually struck out with a palm, forcing Rita back... which was quite hasty.
Rita: (Don't I have any dignity? All three of you were serious about dealing with Durandal, but you just casually dealt with me with a single blow? I'm an S-Rank Valkyrie, for goodness' sake!)
That's the difference. Rita is S-rank because she only has S-rank strength, but Durandal is S-rank because S-rank is the highest level in Schicksal.
"..." x7
The atmosphere between the two sides was extremely tense at this moment, as if a real conflict could break out at any moment.
However, just as the guards on both sides were considering whether to strike first...
"Alright, stop now."
"Alright, you can come back now."
Bai Ge and Otto spoke at the same time.
The White Youth sat back down in his chair, picked up a piece of fruit with the fork that had almost pierced the latter's eye, and put it in his mouth, while the blond fool closed his eyes and finished his cup of black tea.
The two of them were as elegant as a prince and an eleventh-rank duke. Their recent outburst and loss of control seemed to have never happened, and the atmosphere instantly returned to peace.
"..." x5
After hesitating for a moment, Durandal and the others obediently put away their weapons and returned to the two men's backs.
Welt glanced at Bai Ge and Otto with a complicated expression, realizing that although he was the Anti-Entropy Leader, he was still far behind the two of them in some aspects.
Otto aside, he couldn't help but wonder what was going on with Bai Ge? What had this young man gone through to be so emotional yet able to control his emotions so strongly?
"Although I don't know the reason, my gaze just now seemed to displease Bai Ge. Okay, I sincerely apologize to you. Can you forgive me now?"
"Heh~ If you really want to apologize, you should gouge out your eyes. Anyway, it's just a Soul Steel body, so you won't feel any pain."
"But that's still too terrifying, let's forget about it. However... Bai Ge, you remind me of that Herrscher of the Void. When I apologized to him back then, he had a similar reaction to you, telling me not to just talk the talk but to actually atone with my death."
"Really? I think he's right."
Bai Ge sneered.
"That's really heartbreaking. It seems like I've only apologized to you and that Herrscher of the Void over the years, but I've been treated like this both times. Oh well, let's not talk about it."
Otto sighed and shook his head.
"So, can't you really explain how you gained the ability to traverse the Sea of Quantum?"
"No, because I haven't figured out what kind of excuse I can come up with to fool you."
"Ah, well~ Everyone has their own secrets. I, Otto, am not so rude as to insist on finding out. After all, I understand that the right to privacy is very important."
Although he said that, Otto didn't think that way at all. He silently raised Bai Ge's threat level several notches, and it has now surpassed Welt's.
Bai Ge was actually somewhat helpless about this.
Because there's really no good excuse for quantum power.
In the current timeline, his actions are not secretive; they are basically aboveboard. Apart from the matter of the Serene Gem, which was well concealed, everything else is out in the open.
Therefore, quantum powers cannot be faked. Without revealing the ability to travel through time and space, it is basically impossible to reasonably explain why one has this ability.
You might be able to fool an average person, but you can't fool someone as intellectually gifted as Otto Apocalypse.
Therefore, Bai Ge chose not to say anything.
Let this guy guess wildly; if he guesses correctly, he loses.
"It's such a shame. I was hoping to have a good chat with Bai Ge today and maybe even become friends, but things haven't turned out this way. Well then, since you don't welcome me, I won't stay any longer. Let's go..."
Otto glanced at Mei and Fu Hua behind Bai Ge, then got up and prepared to leave... If it weren't for these two, he might have tried to take direct Bai Ge.
However, with Rita useless and Otto not being a martial arts expert himself, it's impossible for Durandal to take on three, no, four Herrscher- level fighters on her own.
Even the Undying Star Anchor has its limits. Faced with a huge disparity in strength, it is not only unlikely to win, but it is also very likely to be defeated.
Anyway, I didn't come away empty-handed.
However, just as Otto was about to take the far fewer cases than expected back to investigate on his own,
"Wait, sit down."
Bai Ge calmly stopped him from leaving.
This remark made Otto so angry he almost laughed.
"Was my attitude a bit too friendly, causing you Bai Ge, to misunderstand and think that I, Otto Apocalypse, am someone you can do whatever you want with..."
"I met Kevin Kaslana in the Sea of Quantum and even talked with him for a while."
"Rita, please refill your tea. Bai Ge, please sip your tea."
The flexible and adaptable Archbishop of Schicksal sat back down in his chair without hesitation, placed the empty teacup in front of the maid next to him, and listened to Bai Ge speak with a very interested expression.
(Bishop Otto was actually manipulated?!)
Rita took a deep breath and picked up the teapot with a slight tremor, not because she was injured, but simply because she was shocked.
This scheming mastermind, who always planned and manipulated others flawlessly, has now been manipulated by someone else, and a mere teenager at that.
Looking at Otto obediently sat back down in his chair.
Welt, Rita, and Theresa, who was secretly observing from a corner, were almost speechless with astonishment. They instinctively looked up to see if the sun was rising in the west.
(It's unexpected to hear about Kevin Kaslana's love life here. This young man is still so good at surprising people. Hopefully, I can hear some valuable information.)
However, Bai Ge just smiled and remained silent.
Otto, being the shrewd old fox he was, immediately understood.
"In this world, love is as precious as gold and silver. The more precious the love, the more valuable it is. Hey, Bai Ge, have you ever been a mercenary or something? You know so much about this. Tell me, what price do you want?"
"Well, most of the Valkyrie at the St. Freya Academy use old-fashioned armor. I don't have high requirements. Three hundred sets of the latest B-Rank Valkyrie Armor from Schicksal."
"Fifty sets. Do you know how much a single B-grade armor is worth? Most of them cost close to ten million, and they are basically not provided to targets other than the Valkyrie belonging to Schicksal."
"Not enough. St. Freya Academy has around 500 Valkyrie, and I only need a small number."
Bai Ge shook his head to indicate that his requirements were 'not high,' and besides, you Schicksal to be wealthy and powerful.
A single set of Godkiller Armor costs around tens or even hundreds of billions. Otto could build a dozen sets without batting an eye, but nearly half of them are never used and just sit there collecting dust.
With so much money, what's the big deal about giving a few hundred sets of B-grade armor? Besides, those are the pinnacle of combat power, Kevin's lover. I only need a few hundred sets of White Comet, which is already very cheap, okay?
"Two hundred and seventy sets!"
"Too many, a hundred sets!"
"You idiot!"
"One hundred and fifty!"
"It's still three hundred, as expected."
"!!!"
Seeing that Bai Ge had actually adjusted the quantity back to the original, Otto's eyes twitched involuntarily.
However, before he could say anything, Bai pulled Theresa, who had been secretly observing from behind the bushes, over.
"Mr. Otto, you don't want to disappoint your granddaughter, do you? Look, look at those expectant eyes of hers. Headmaster, you should be cute now, hurry up."
"Grandpa, Grandpa, is three hundred sets okay?"
Theresa blinked awkwardly, held up three fingers, and said embarrassedly.
It has to be said that Theresa truly deserves to be called the world's cutest. Even the hard-hearted Otto softened a bit when he saw her like this, and Rita next to her covered her nose and was completely overwhelmed.
"Hiss~ Hoo~! For Theresa's sake, three hundred sets it is."
"Great! Thank you, Bishop Otto, for the 300 sets of B-Rank Valkyrie Armor."
With a bright smile, Bai Ge tossed Theresa back into the bushes and clapped his hands.
Theresa, who was used and discarded, gritted her teeth.
Thinking that considering the great benefits you've secured for the academy this Bai Ge, I, the headmaster, will forgive your rude behavior this once.
Actually, Bai wanted to choose A-level armor, but that level of armor already has high requirements for the user, and it's too early for the young Valkyrie of the St. Freya Academy.
"Alright, hurry Kevin. Kaslana's Love Toad is so expensive, it has to be worth the price."
"No problem, my reputation score is still very high, I will tell you what I know to defend myself!"
