Chapter 201

"Adding conditions midway through a transaction goes against the spirit of business, doesn't Seele? Unfortunately, she doesn't have the same qualifications as Vollerei, Sea of Quantum isn't a place you can just leave whenever you want. I can only pray that the Anti-Entropy Leader can save her life... Oh, or you could try asking your daughter's friend. Maybe it's that Shen Gonglin. After all, so far, it seems that only he can freely travel between the Sea of Quantum and reality. He's definitely a very troublesome person."

Cocolia's unethical behavior seemed to have provoked Gray Serpent. This suspicious person only valued the spirit of business contracts. Undoubtedly, Cocolia's attitude of breaking the contract at any time had angered Gray Serpent. His already cold tone was now as cold as a venomous tongue. People who do not abide by the spirit of contracts are destined to have no good outcome.

"Do you think I'm joking?!"

Cocolia swiftly drew her pistol, cocking it in one fluid motion. The cold muzzle pressed against Gray Serpent's mask. There was no hint of a joke in Cocolia's purple eyes. Things had now completely spiraled out of Cocolia's control. Bronya was in grave danger.

Chapter 151 Cocolia's Crisis

"Cocolia, what are you doing...?"

With a gun pointed at his head, Gray Serpent's voice changed, but it was still the same as before. He was only angry that Cocolia had betrayed the contract, and Gray Serpent never cared about comforting himself. It seemed that Cocolia could no longer be a trading partner. He had thought he could do a good business deal, but why did she have to ruin the deal like this? Just for her daughter? What a pity. Gray Serpent had thought that Cocolia would be a qualified trading partner.

"I'll say it one last time, I want to see Bronya return safe and sound!"

With her finger on the trigger, Cocolia's voice was icy as a soldier. Shooting was commonplace for her; she wouldn't even blink if she were to kill Gray Serpent right now. She had given up on continuing the deal with Gray Serpent. Her two daughters were in danger, and there was no need to continue the deal.

"Cocolia, we both know each other's true nature. People like us can sacrifice and exploit everything to achieve our goals. That's why I was so impressed by your impromptu performance at the end. By standing against your daughter and fully provoking her rebellion, you made her willingly jump into the Sea of Quantum in place of Einstein. At that moment, I was certain that you were the one we were looking for. Don't tell me I was wrong."

As if unwilling to lose this trading partner, Gray Serpent originally thought that Cocolia would definitely be a qualified trader. With her qualifications, they could even absorb her into World Serpent. World Serpent needed such talent. But now Cocolia's reaction greatly disappointed him. Was she going to betray the contract for something like this? If so, World Serpent didn't need her.

Cocolia fell silent for a moment, recalling her conversation with Bronya at the children's graveyard in Sea Abyss City. So, in Gray Serpent's eyes, that conversation with Bronya was a performance staged to provoke her? Indeed, she and Grey Serpent were different. Grey Serpent could sacrifice everything for a deal, while she was making a deal for her daughter. If she were to sacrifice her daughter for a deal, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

"You're wrong, Gray Serpent, we're not the same... Go to hell and make your deal!"

Having made his decision, Cocolia prepared to pull the trigger, but at that moment, Gray Serpent let out a soft laugh. Well, since the negotiations had broken down, the deal could not proceed. Fortunately, as a shrewd businessman, he had always kept a backup plan. When a deal could not continue, protecting oneself was the most important thing a businessman should do.

"Heh, hell... Now, who's going to hell?"

The same sound rang out behind Cocolia, and a figure exactly like the Gray Serpent suddenly appeared behind Cocolia. After a gunshot, Cocolia fell to the ground. Her gun was a step too slow. In Cocolia's increasingly lifeless purple eyes, two Gray Serpent appeared in her sight. What was going on? Why were there two Gray Serpent, and herself...? Was she going to die?

The bullet pierced her heart from behind. As a soldier, Cocolia had suffered many wounds, and she knew all too well what the consequences of this one would be. She never imagined she would die in such a place. It was a pity that she ultimately failed to save Seele, and even Bronya was now in danger. She was truly a... unfit mother.

"I'm sorry, Cocolia, in the end you were still overwhelmed by your stupid animal instincts and lost your rationality. We're not the same? How could you say something like that?"

The two Gray Serpent came together. They looked at Cocolia lying on the ground and completely lost interest. This woman did not seem to be a suitable trading target. It was boring that she would make such a choice at the last minute.

"Gunshots! What's going on? Why are there gunshots... Mom!"

Just then, Theresa and her group arrived, led by Rosaria and Liliya. The twin sisters rushed in upon hearing the gunshot, only to find Cocolia lying in a pool of blood. In the sisters' hearts, Cocolia was the most important person to them, so how could she have become like this? Why? Why didn't she respond to their and Liliya's calls?

"Gray Serpent? What are they doing here, and there are two of them at that?"

Theresa followed closely behind. She glanced at Cocolia on the ground and then at the standing Gray Serpent. It seemed that the Gray Serpent and Cocolia were not on the same side now. But why were there two Gray Serpent? What was going on with this guy?

"Ms. Theresa, I appreciate your help in the Hyperion. I hope you still remember me, after all, our deal is not over yet."

"There are two identical people. Is this guy also a twin?"

Despite their deep concern for Cocolia, their current situation did not allow them to go to her rescue. Rosaria and Liliya gritted their teeth as they stared at the two Gray Serpent. They noticed that Cocolia's body was still slightly undulating; she was still alive. But if they left her like this, their mother would definitely be in danger!

"Rosaria... Liliya... Run!"

As if in a final burst of energy, Cocolia's lifeless eyes focused slightly again after hearing Rosaria and Liliya's voices. She murmured these words softly. Now, her subconscious thought was to let her two daughters escape. She could not afford to lose either of them.

"Cocolia, do you know why you're still alive? It's because you'll pay a price more terrible than death for your principles. I promise you, World Serpent, betrayal is not allowed."

The two Gray Serpent stood side by side, their eyes fixed on Cocolia on the ground. They needed to make them all understand the price of betrayal. Taking everything she cherished right before her eyes was more meaningful than killing her outright.

"I feel like she's not dead because you didn't kill her. Even if you had, I would have brought her back to life, believe it or not? Theresa, Rosaria, and Liliya, I'm too busy right now, Cocolia. And you two can help me kill these two snakes."

A flash of golden light, Shen Gonglin suddenly appeared beside Cocolia. He grabbed Cocolia in his arms and slipped into a corner. Cocolia absolutely could not die, because Bronya would be heartbroken if she did.

Chapter 152 The World Serpent: Betrayal Is Not Allowed

Cocolia absolutely cannot die. No one should die in front of me without my permission. How can I let her die after all the things she has done? Reviving her and putting her to trial is something Shen Gonglin must do. If Bronya returns from the Sea of Quantum and finds Cocolia dead... Shen Gonglin simply cannot imagine what expression Bronya will have at that time.

"Cough... It's too late. I can feel it. The bullet hit my heart from behind. Now... there's no time left..."

Cocolia shook her head, her golden hair fluttering slightly in Shen Gonglin's arms. As a soldier, she understood her current situation all too well. She wasn't Valkyrie; she didn't have their physical strength. Even Valkyrie wouldn't survive being shot in the heart by a large-caliber pistol at this distance. Was she going to die? She never imagined she would be lying in this brat's arms, quietly waiting to die. Her life had truly been a failure.

As the things she had done in her life flashed through her mind, Cocolia wore a faint bitter smile. Her blood-stained cheeks were full of resentment, but there was nothing she could do. People die when they are killed; it is a normal thing that no one can escape.

"You think you're done for after being hit in the heart? You really don't take me seriously... How about this, Mother-in-law, don't you feel like you're about to die? How about you settle your inheritance before you die? You should still have a lot of mech command rights, right? How about I take them? Bronya said that Anti-Entropy mechs sell for a lot of money. I happen to be a little short of money. I might need it for a dowry when I get married in the future. How about you give them to me? I'll definitely cry the loudest when I bury you."

At a time like this, he still has the mood to joke with Cocolia. As expected of Shen Gonglin, even on her deathbed, Cocolia almost got up and shot him after hearing his words. Does this bastard not know how to talk? He's not even dead yet and he's already thinking about seizing my inheritance. Even if there really is an inheritance, I would divide it among Bronya and Rosaria, how could there be anything for him? Is this guy crazy? How could Bronya like someone like this? Is he eyeing Bronya's assets?

Enraged by Shen Gonglin, Cocolia coughed up blood, making her pale pink lips look eerily bloodied. The heavily wounded female soldier glared at Shen Gonglin with her purple eyes. She was only too weak to do anything else; otherwise, she would have definitely smashed a brick into his face!

"Mother!"

Rosaria and Liliya rushed over anxiously upon seeing the commotion on Cocolia's side, but Theresa quickly stopped them. Their task now was not to treat Cocolia; they hadn't dealt with the two Gray Serpent yet, and besides, there was Shen Gonglin over there. Theresa was willing to trust Shen Gonglin; if it was him, there would be absolutely no problem. Although she always complained that he was unreliable, in critical moments, Theresa, like everyone else, trusted Shen Gonglin one hundred percent.

"Calm down, Shen Gonglin will be fine over there. What we need to deal with now is the problem at hand. Mr. Gray Serpent, it seems you need to give us an explanation. World Serpent, what exactly do you want to do!"

Having stopped the twin sisters, Theresa took out her crimson spear and spoke softly to the Gray Serpent. Clad in the Moonlit Armor, she had entered a state of boiling blood again. As long as she maintained this state, the Honkai Beast activation factors within her body would be continuously activated. This boiling blood also quickly cleared the aftereffects of Shen Gonglin's blood-sucking on her. Perhaps she wouldn't be afraid of Shen Gonglin sucking her blood anymore. This was truly a good sign. The thought of being sucked blood by him and then just wanting to lie in his arms and meow was enough to make Theresa blush and her heart race.

"Explanation? It's just a transaction. Eliminating those who are unwilling to trade honestly is only natural. After all, the World Serpent does not tolerate betrayal."

Surrounded by Theresa and the twin sisters, Gray Serpent should have been in a hopeless situation. However, the black-clad creature seemed completely unconcerned about its own safety. Both Gray Serpent simultaneously pulled out small syringes from behind them. To the astonishment of Theresa and the others, Gray Serpent didn't hesitate to inject itself into its neck. This was a product of the experiment. The liquid inside the syringe was quickly injected into Gray Serpent's neck, and the body hidden beneath the black clothing rapidly expanded like a balloon. The scarlet and deep blue body pushed aside the metal prosthetics, transforming into a gigantic arm that slammed into the ground. In just a moment, the Gray Serpent's body completely lost its human form. This guy had completely transformed into Honkai Beast!

"The Gray Serpent has transformed itself into Honkai Beast?"

Theresa stared in astonishment. What was this thing? How could it turn itself into Honkai Beast? And it didn't seem to have lost control. It was using human will to transform into the body of Honkai Beast. What exactly was this World Serpent researching?

At this moment, Theresa truly took the World Serpent organization to heart; she simply couldn't understand the organization's research.

"Hey! Twins and beast form again? Is this guy here to cause trouble? Liliya, I'm getting angry. Let's beat it up! Overlapping attributes are an unforgivable mistake for an idol group!"

Unlike Theresa, Theresa's focus was clearly different. Looking at the two Honkai Beasts, one red and one blue, in front of her, Rosaria gritted her teeth in anger. She felt that many of her cute traits had been taken over by this strange Gray Serpent. Did it even use any patent fees? And it even dared to attack Mother Cocolia! Rosaria was getting angry and had to teach this Gray Serpent a lesson. She had to let it know that Vodka Girls was not someone to be trifled with.

"Rosaria, you'd better keep quiet... But if it's time to fight, Liliya is happy to oblige."

Worried about her older sister's strange thought process, Liliya sighed deeply. However, this girl, who couldn't muster any enthusiasm for anything, stood beside Rosaria. The Gray Serpent in front of her was undoubtedly an enemy, and since it was an enemy, Liliya knew what to do.

Chapter 153 Surgery in Progress

Theresa had already begun her battle, while Shen Gonglin focused her attention on Cocolia in front of her. They had their own missions, but Rin was now responsible for Cocolia's situation. Although Cocolia was still relatively conscious, Shen Gonglin knew that this was just a temporary respite before death, and it was up to her to deal with the situation from here on out.

Without hesitation, Shen Gonglin grabbed Cocolia's green collar and ripped off her military uniform. Unlike Kiana and Mei, Cocolia was a real woman. After the uniform was removed, the two round balls that suddenly appeared in front of Shen Gonglin's eyes made her eyes widen. Cocolia was indeed the most powerful woman she had ever seen. She was even stronger than Himeko. Amazing, amazing, truly amazing.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing? I'm Bronya's mother! And I've been shot right now!"

Cocolia didn't want to pay attention to Shen Gonglin. This guy was only good for making her angry. In comparison, she was more worried about the twin sisters fighting the Honkai Beast. However, despite her efforts to ignore Shen Gonglin, her actions made it impossible for Cocolia to ignore him. The green military uniform was unbuttoned, and the only white shirt left made Cocolia afraid. What was this guy trying to do?

"Goodness, if I hadn't seen the books in Mei's room, I probably wouldn't know what you're talking about. Mother-in-law, you're overthinking things. You know you've been shot, so stop thinking about things that get your blood pumping. Just shut up and don't say anything."

Shen Gonglin commented on Cocolia. Upon seeing the pristine white shirt front, he understood Cocolia's problem. It seemed it wasn't a penetrating wound, meaning the wound couldn't be healed simply; the bullet had to be removed first. As expected of the most formidable woman he had ever met, she hadn't even suffered a penetrating wound from a shot fired from behind with such a large caliber handgun. This could only mean that Cocolia's frontal breastplate was incredibly thick. Well, it seemed a minor surgery would be necessary today.

Having clearly seen Cocolia's problem, Shen Gonglin helped her up, supporting her body with her legs. With her free hands, she tore a hole in Cocolia's shirt on the back, turning her once fair skin into a pool of blood. This was fine, as it would Shen Gonglin from feeling embarrassed.

"...How about it?"

Cocolia realized that Shen Gonglin was trying to save her. Although she was embarrassed by Cocolia tearing her clothes, she wasn't the type to be conflicted. She had been through the battlefield and knew that her life depended on Shen Gonglin. Who would want to die if they could live? Besides, Cocolia had many things she wanted to do, and she couldn't afford to lose her life now.

"Hmm, so fair and tender, you look like a girl in her early twenties. Cocolia, you've taken good care of yourself."

Shen Gonglin slapped the skin that wasn't stained with blood, causing Cocolia to shudder in pain. She gritted her teeth and turned to glare at Shen Gonglin. Who the hell asked such a question? Concerned about her health in this situation? Did Shen Gonglin want to watch her bleed to death? Why did it feel so unreliable to entrust her life to him? And wasn't he calling her "Mother-in-law"...? Was that something he should say to his Mother-in-law?!

"I didn't ask you that!"

Cocolia squeezed out these words through gritted teeth. She could already feel her hands and feet getting cold. Apart from the pain in her wounds, Cocolia was losing sensation in the rest of her body. She wanted to know if she could be saved or not. If she couldn't be saved, could she please get Shen Gonglin away from this world as soon as possible? She wanted to leave this world peacefully.

"Then what are you asking me... Oh, you mean this injury? I didn't even notice it until you told me. Just bear with it. Since there's no medicine or medical equipment available right now, I can only use my hands directly. Don't worry, my hands haven't done anything else today except beat up Honkai Beast and hug Theresa. They're very clean."

While joking with Cocolia to keep her awake, Shen Gonglin carefully observed Cocolia's condition. The fact that there was no penetrating wound meant that the bullet was still inside the wound. It seemed that she would have to do it herself. It might hurt a little, but Shen Gonglin could completely guarantee her safety. After all, she had done those bad things, so she should just bear with the pain.

"Here, put it in your mouth and suck it. My blood has some pain-relieving and healing-accelerating abilities, which will keep you conscious. I'm going to do it now."

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Gonglin bit her finger and brought it to Cocolia's lips. Although she often saw scenes of surgery performed without anesthesia on TV, Shen Gonglin was actually a little scared of such a scene. She was afraid that she would be frightened if Cocolia but scream.

"No... no need, I've been on the battlefield, I don't know what that kind of experience is... hiss... ah!"

Cocolia had originally intended to display her military bearing, but Shen Gonglin didn't even bother to warn her before attacking. The pain of his finger piercing her wound caused Cocolia to break out in a cold sweat. At that moment, she couldn't care less about military decorum. Shen Gonglin's finger was right next to her mouth, and she bit down on it. The slightly salty blood from his fingertip flowed into her stomach and quickly took effect. This kind of pain was bearable... But could Shen Gonglin really perform surgery? Cocolia had never seen anyone perform surgery like this before.

Still trying to act tough, huh? She can't even be a tough guy herself, what's the point of pretending? In the end, she's still biting her own fingers and won't let go, really...

Silently cursing to himself, Shen Gonglin continued to move his fingers into the wound, the electric current spreading from his fingertips as he explored. Soon, Shen Gonglin found the bullet deeply embedded in her body. Don't blame him for being rough; Shen Gonglin's medical skills were indeed top-notch. He was proficient in both surgery and pharmacology. So, could it be that he was a doctor in the past?

I really don't understand.

Electromagnetic control caused the warhead to be attracted to Shen Gonglin's fingertips. The sound of metal hitting the ground finally put Cocolia was covered in cold sweat, at ease. Then she saw Shen Gonglin holding her head with a slightly painful expression on her face. What happened? Did something happen to her again?

Chapter 154 Treatment Completed

"W-what... you're injured too?"

Cold sweat poured down her back. Even with Shen Gonglin's blood as a painkiller, the act of removing the bullet with her bare hands still left this battle-hardened female soldier deathly pale. What was wrong with Shen Gonglin? Was he injured too? And injured, yet he had to perform surgery on her? Cocolia suddenly realized that her son-in-law wasn't as bad as she had imagined...

"It's nothing... I'm just a little squeamish about blood. Cocolia, you're bleeding so much, I can't take it anymore. Can you bear it a little longer? If you keep spraying like this, I feel like I'm going to faint."

Just now, all she could think about was getting the bullet out of her, but now that it's out, Shen Gonglin that she has a problem with being afraid of blood. This amount of bleeding is really too much for her to handle. What a pity, I feel like I could make so much blood tofu... Ah, I can't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the dizzier I get. I can't take it anymore, Shen Gonglin feels like she might faint if she's not careful.

"Is this something I can tolerate?! You better be serious, get this bandaged up right now and go help Rosaria and the others. Aren't you a former S-rank from Schicksal? How come you're afraid of blood? How did Schicksal even recruit you?!"

Shen Gonglin that she almost had a stroke. Heaven knows why this guy has a problem with being afraid of blood. Besides, how could she tolerate this kind of thing? How did Schicksal recruit such an oddball and even make him an S-rank? This lousy organization is doomed sooner or later. Her anger surged and made Cocolia cough. She couldn't let Shen Gonglin make her die of anger instead of shooting her.

"Why are you being so fierce? I know you have big breasts, so don't get angry so easily. Come on, smile and let go of my fingers. If I don't treat you and just bandage you up, you might bleed to death... You've used so much of my blood, you'll have to pay me back later."

Shen Gonglin muttered to herself, thankfully it wasn't her own blood, so she could still bear it for now. This guy was squeamish about blood, but he was most squeamish about his own blood. She removed her fingers from Cocolia's mouth and Shen Gonglin squeezed a few drops of blood onto the wound on Cocolia's back. Her blood could serve as a disinfectant. As for the wound healing... well, there was no other way.

"You're still talking about this kind of thing at a time like this... Ugh, what are you doing?"

Cocolia was speechless. Just then, she felt a chill on her back, and a wet sensation spread rapidly across the wound on her back. She turned around and saw Shen Gonglin wiping his lips. What had he just done? Why did she feel so strange? It was like... wait, it didn't hurt as much anymore.

"What can I do? I'll help you apply the medicine. Okay, healing from the outside in might be a little slow, but as long as you don't move around, there's no danger. If you move around and cause internal bleeding, that's your problem. If I have to save you again, you'll have to pay. Now stay here and rest. I'm going to help."

He wiped the blood from his mouth with a tissue. Shen Gonglin's blood could have a healing effect, but saliva was more effective for quick wound healing. He had just licked Cocolia's back, leaving her with a mouthful of blood. Although Shen Gonglin had vampire genes, drinking blood like this was not in line with his aesthetics. As an unconventional vampire, Shen Gonglin hated this kind of unconventional way of drinking blood. Cocolia's problem was temporarily solved; next up was the battlefield.

After dragging Cocolia to the wall to sit down and rest, Shen Gonglin turned to look at the battlefield. The fluctuations emanating from the two Honkai Beasts that the Gray Serpent had transformed into should be the reactions of Emperor-class being. It was quite surprising. Are Emperor-class Honkai Beast becoming commonplace now? Well, if they were just high-level Honkai Beast, it wouldn't be a problem for Theresa no matter how many came.

"Hey... thank you..."

Leaning against the wall, Cocolia felt her limbs regaining sensation. This reaction told her that she had returned from the brink of death, all thanks to Shen Gonglin Cocolia. This guy actually had such surgical skills; he was truly amazing. So, Cocolia's gratitude this time was genuine. Thanks to Shen Gonglin, she could continue to do some things she wanted to do.

"No need for thanks. Please transfer the 100 million yuan relief fee directly to my account... If you don't have the money right now, use your daughter to pay off the debt. Let me think about it... Oh, right, hehehehehe..."

Shen Gonglin casually waved her hand. This wasn't a free treatment. If Cocolia weren't Bronya and Rosaria's mother, Shen Gonglin wouldn't have lent a helping hand to such a wicked Cocolia. So she had to pay. Feeling like a villain, Shen Gonglin recalled how a villain should smile. It seemed like this was how it was.

This guy... he's probably got something wrong with his head. If Bronya, won't he affect her brain? Bronya is so smart, if he affects her... maybe we should let Rosaria go with him? Anyway, her brain has never been quite right, maybe if she and Shen Gonglin are together, it might even work out.

Leaning against the wall, Cocolia slowly regained her strength, her mind wandering uncontrollably. She truly didn't know how to evaluate Shen Gonglin Cocolia. He seemed quite capable, with so many mysterious aspects to him, but he also had his share of problems. She felt the days ahead would be quite interesting; she just hoped he wouldn't bully Bronya ...

But why does it feel like Bronya actually enjoys being bullied by him?

Cocolia's thoughts drifted into the distance, while Shen Gonglin had already arrived at the edge of the battlefield. The situation seemed quite clear. Theresa had finally shown her true strength as an S-rank Valkyrie. I always thought she was a disgrace to S-class, but the current Theresa is truly dazzling.

Looking at the small figure active on the battlefield, Shen Gonglin slowly nodded. She truly lived up to her reputation as their headmistress.

"Liliya, Rosaria, fight seriously. Shen Gonglin is in charge of Cocolia's side. Our enemy is right in front of us, so be serious."

Theresa, now fully engaged in battle, was very serious. The crimson chains pulled Liliya back from her reverie. She earnestly warned the twin sisters beside her that they had to be focused in battle, or they would die on the battlefield. Theresa was single-minded; she had great trust in Shen Gonglin. She was sure he would handle Cocolia's situation without any problems. Their mission was equally challenging. These two Honkai Beasts, transformed from Gray Serpent, were quite strange.

Without a doubt, what was before them were Honkai Beast. However, while being Honkai Beast, they seemed to retain the rationality of humans. Unlike the Honkai Beast they had fought before, their actions not only possessed the power of Honkai Beast but also the agility of humans. Theresa had never seen anything like this before.

While contemplating, Theresa's attacks didn't cease. Coordinating with the twin sisters beside her, the swirling chains around them resembled whistling lights, relentlessly pursuing the Honkai Beast and gradually forcing them back. Although the battle was gradually tilting in their favor, Theresa's reddened eyes held a serious expression. Something was amiss. Although they possessed intelligence, their opponents were, after all, only two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts. They weren't particularly strong, and for them, who had experienced so many battles, this was no problem. What gave Gray Serpent the confidence to personally descend into the fray and fight them in this form? Was it simply because she could transform into these two Emperor-class Honkai Beast?

If this is the trump card, then Theresa is really overestimating Gray Serpent.

Theresa's little mind raced. Considering their experience of being led by the nose by the Gray Serpent, she simply couldn't believe that the Gray Serpent's trump card was just this. Theresa's brows furrowed slightly, and her unease grew. No, the Gray Serpent might still be hiding something. For their safety, she had to let the children go first. The level of her boiling blood was gradually approaching the critical point. If they weren't around, she could act more freely.

"Rosaria, and Liliya, I'll hold them off. You two quickly take Cocolia to a safe place."

Theresa made a quick decision. She wasn't afraid of danger, but she was worried about putting those around her in danger. So she sent Rosaria and Liliya to take Cocolia away. With herself and Shen Gonglin here, she believed that the Gray Serpent wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.

"Understood, Rosaria, let's go quickly."

Of the twin sisters, Liliya was clearly calmer than Rosaria. After hearing Theresa's words, she understood what Theresa meant. They should indeed take Mother Cocolia away and ensure her safety first.

"No, I'm staying to help! This guy ambushed Mom and seriously injured her, I'm not going to retreat!"

Rosaria's personality was much more impulsive than Liliya's. She grabbed her greatsword and ran up. She cherished her family. How could she just run away and leave Theresa to deal with the enemy who had hurt her mother like that? Rosaria couldn't accept that!

Chapter 155 Assimilation

"Theresa is right, run away, Rosaria. As one of our own kind, I really don't want to hurt you."
