Chapter 267

"Hey, you young lady up ahead, speeding and driving without a license, stop now. Let me see your ID. Minors can't race like that!"

In the midst of the storm, such a sound suddenly rang out. Bronya turned around in surprise. What was going on? The traffic police had caught up with them?

Chapter Eleven: Protecting the Best, Shen Gonglin

What on earth is this idiot planning to do? Just because Bronya is driving without a license doesn't mean she can just run people over with her sword! With Fu Hua holding her in her arms like prey, Shen Gonglin was completely bewildered. What is she trying to do? Bronya is an ally, an ally, an ally who can get close to her at will. Is she trying to attack her ally like this?

Is it because he's been dead for too long that his brain has gone haywire?

The powerful wind pressure rendered Shen Gonglin unable to speak, while Bronya stared in astonishment to the side. There was no mistake; that face was undoubtedly the Class President's, and the person she was holding was none other than Shen Gonglin. She hadn't mistaken her for someone else, but why was she attacking her? This playful manner was unlike the Class President's ...

The Class President wouldn't joke around with me.

Completely different from the Class President she remembered, before Bronya could say anything, the black-clad Class President spurred the flying object she was riding on towards her. Without understanding what was happening, Bronya quickly dodged to the side in her Heavy-duty Rabbit. The explosion kicked up thick smoke and dust, and in the storm, Heavy-duty Rabbit in its motorcycle form transformed back into its mecha mode. Something was wrong with the Class President now.

"Hmm..."

The girl gritted her teeth and activated the Heavy-duty Rabbit's Defense Barrier, but the aftershock of the explosion pushed her directly into the sea. The coastal bridge collapsed, and a blue barrier formed around the Heavy-duty Rabbit to protect Bronya. What on earth happened?

Why would my Class President, who has been dead for so long, bring my man and hold me underwater? Is my Class President broken?

Or is it the kind that can't be fixed?

"It seems that even though it's been a while since I've fought Bronya, she hasn't let go of the most basic advice. But it's not enough, not enough... Wait here for me, don't move. I'm going to say hello to Bronya."

Fu Hua had just warmed up her fists not long ago, but now she seemed to have regained her energy. She excitedly clenched her fists, and then Fu Hua casually hung Shen Gonglin on the bridgehead. Shen Gonglin was terribly afraid of water, so she would handle the rest of the interaction herself, since she was just a mere Bronya.

emmmmm?

Before she could react, she found herself hanging on the bridge. Looking at the surging waves below, Shen Gonglin was completely distraught. Perhaps Fu Hua meant well, but after losing her "lifeline," Shen Gonglin was truly in an emotional state. The Class President was being far too capricious, hanging her here like this. She had both a fear of heights and a fear of water—was she trying to kill her?

A decent defensive force field. Is this the power of the Herrscher of Reason? Very well, let me, the Class President, test the power of the Herrscher!

Fu Hua plunged into the water and excitedly approached the slightly glowing sphere in the sea. She might have to fight Kevin soon, so it was a good idea to warm up by fighting Bronya, who possessed the power of the Herrscher of Reason. The sudden increase in water pressure wouldn't have much of an effect on Fu Hua's body at its peak, and Fu Hua also wanted to test the strength of this defensive circle!

Hahahaha!

Even though they were in the water, Bronya could clearly hear Fu Hua's laughter. Within the defensive force field formed by the Heavy-duty Rabbit, Bronya calmly analyzed the current situation. She had wanted to find Shen Gonglin, and she had actually found her. However, the fact that the Class President was in this state was completely unexpected. What was wrong with her?

In Bronya's memory, Fu Hua could never have acted like this. Where did that quiet, serious, and earnest Class President go? Is this really the Class President?

"What? Bronya, don't you recognize me? This is the real me—beautiful, powerful, and able to do whatever I want."

As if sensing Bronya's confusion, Fu Hua in the water opened her mouth and spat out a series of bubbles. This scene looked rather comical, but Bronya couldn't laugh out loud no matter what. How could this be? How could this defensive barrier be breached like this?

With her hands braced against the defensive blue barrier, Bronya could clearly see Fu Hua's face through the blue light screen. At this moment, the Class President's face showed no trace of "ethereal beauty," and she looked... like a lunatic. Moreover, her current posture reminded Bronya of a famous scene from an anime.

Good heavens, is EVA or Naruto really the origin of everything in the world?

"Heavy-duty Rabbit".

Bronya was confused about the Class President's condition, but she knew what she should do. She was being pushed towards the seabed by Class President, and the barrier looked like it was about to be torn apart. At the girl's command, the half-body mech guarding her grabbed her waist and threw her forcefully towards the surface of the sea. Being freed from the Heavy-duty Rabbit made Bronya feel the coldness of the seawater. This move was called protecting the pilot.

A violent explosion came from the seabed where she had previously stayed, but Bronya didn't care. Having mastered the power of the Herrscher of Reason, the girl was most familiar with creating the Heavy-duty Rabbit that always accompanied her. As long as the "core" existed, the Heavy-duty Rabbit would always be by her side. Finally, she had created some distance. Next, it was her turn to attack!

Bronya wasn't going to take all the beatings. With a sudden thought, countless cannons appeared around her as she was thrown out of the sea. All that was left was to wait for her to come out, and then, fire.

The Class President would never attack me without warning, so this guy is definitely not my Class President!

"Help... please help me..."

However, just as the girl was on high alert, a weak, pitiful, and helpless voice came from somewhere. Whether it was because of the bad weather or because of the battle between the two powerful beings, the blizzard intensified. When Bronya looked over, the shivering, trembling Shen Gonglin hanging on the bridge looked utterly pitiful.

She was hanging there, neither up nor down, enduring both the storm and the pounding of the waves. Sure enough, she didn't know how to feel pain unless it was her own man. Bronya felt sorry for her.

Bronya mentally grumbled about the tyrannical woman disguised as the Class President, then prepared to protect her man. Although it was funny to see him hanging there, Bronya was a girl who knew how to care for others. Shen Gonglin shouldn't be hanging there; he should be hanging on her waist.

Chapter Twelve: The Victory of the Hi Fu

"Hey! This is my man. If anyone should be pampered, it's me. Bronya, you're too young to be thinking about these fancy tricks."

However, how could Fu Hua just stand by and watch such a thing happen? She'd barely emerged from the sea when she saw Bronya trying to take advantage of her man. She had no interest in being cuckolded, so with her exceptionally good physical abilities Fu Hua swiftly grabbed Shen Gonglin again. This girl seemed to genuinely like Shen Gonglin, but her expressions of affection... well...

Shen Gonglin felt like a giant figurine, limp and battered by the storm, as Fu Hua carried him on her shoulders. Couldn't she be a little gentler and more caring?

Bronya tilted her head and slowly typed a question mark. This woman stole her identity and her words, and she obviously didn't know how to pamper a man at all. Although she looked like a loli, Bronya believed that she was definitely better at pampering men. Didn't she see how much Shen Gonglin liked to lie on her lap? So he definitely liked her to pamper him the most.

There was no point in saying more. Bronya slowly raised her palm, and the floating cannons that appeared around her aimed at Fu Hua, bypassing Shen Gonglin and striking her precisely. Bronya could do that.

"I just can't get used to your emotionless, emotionless attitude. Never mind, I'm not interested anymore. Bronya, let me teach you one more thing: if you're fighting, don't give your opponent too many chances to talk."

She fully demonstrated what it means to do whatever you want. She was the one who started the fight, but the girl seemed to lose interest all of a sudden. However, the key to the matter was actually with Shen Gonglin. Fu Hua, who was carrying Shen Gonglin on her shoulder, could clearly feel the chill on his body. To be precise, it was more than just chill. He was soaked through from being battered by the storm and waves.

Between having an unnecessary fight with Bronya and quickly giving Shen Gonglin a bath, drying her off, and changing her into dry clothes, Fu Hua knew clearly which choice she had to make, so Hi Fu decided not to fight.

The white-haired girl in the rain waved her hand, and a sudden chill enveloped Bronya. Only then did she realize that, hidden by the night and the downpour, many black feathers had appeared around her. Before Bronya could react, the feathers, receiving Fu Hua's command, swiftly began slicing through Bronya, instantly disintegrating the constructed floating cannons. When did this happen...?

Bronya was bewildered as to how her carefully constructed attack had been so easily destroyed. Before she could react, Fu Hua had already reached her. The pain in her abdomen rendered the girl, who was not particularly expressive, unable to continue fighting.

Ultimately, she didn't really have the will to fight. Otherwise, how could Bronya, who inherited the Herrscher of Reason's abilities, have been defeated so easily?

"Phew, I'm really strong. Bronya, don't you think so too? Anyway, you can rely on me from now on. I'll go back and tell the headmistress and Kiana about it... Oh, and I'll lend you this for a bit. I'll return it to you later."

After laying Bronya down, Fu Hua carried the helpless girl to a sheltered spot where she wouldn't get wet in the rain. She realized that not only was she powerful, but she also cared deeply about those around her. Bronya was her friend, and she would feel terrible if she got sick from the rain. Setting the girl down, Fu Hua pulled a card from her person; she needed to use this.

"Who are you?"

Ignoring any eye contact with Shen Gonglin, Bronya stared at Fu Hua, who stood arrogantly before her. Who was this person? Leaving aside the black feathers from before, the punch that had just landed on her stomach— Bronya was acutely familiar with that style of punch. The girl struggled to look up at her, pain flashing in her grey eyes. This person's control over force was terrifyingly precise; it wouldn't actually injure her, but it would render her temporarily unable to move...

It was my own carelessness.

"What? Don't you recognize me, Bronya? Stop joking around. Look at my face. Can't you recognize me? I just changed my clothes. I look great. I'm the Class President, Fu Hua."

Shen Gonglin was almost unconscious. Fu Hua originally wanted to take Rin, who was wrecked by the storm and the high altitude, to a place to rest. However, after hearing Bronya's question, she kindly stopped. To make it easier for Shen Gonglin without having to crane her neck, she deliberately squatted down in front of Bronya. How could Bronya not recognize this face?

Fu Hua leaned closer to Bronya, pointing to her own face. "It hasn't been that long since we last met, and Bronya doesn't recognize me already? I remember her perfectly well."

"You are not."

She shook her head calmly. Although the face before the year was no different from the face in her memory, this arrogant smile could never appear on the face of that aloof immortal. Bronya had never seen Fu Hua like this before, so when she said that she was Fu Hua, Bronya did not accept it.

"Ha, say what you will. It's not like you can say it's not me and I'm not. Bronya, this is the real me, the perfect me. That's right, you've only known me for a short time. How could you possibly know what the real me is like? In short, just remember, this is the real me. It's okay, there will be plenty of time for you to remember later. I'm leaving now. Kid, don't drive recklessly outside at night. Remember to go home early."

She didn't take Bronya's reaction to heart. After all, she was her Class President and her senior. She should be more tolerant of this kind of girl. As long as she knew the truth, that was enough. She could let them accept it slowly later. After saying that, Fu Hua carried Shen Gonglin and turned to leave. She had more important things to do.

"Wait... wait a minute... where do you want to take Shen Gonglin...?"

Seeing Fu Hua preparing to leave, Bronya tried hard to get up, but even such a simple action was difficult for her. Putting everything else aside, where are you planning to take Shen Gonglin?

"Huh? It's so late, of course we should find a place to rest. But Bronya, you don't need to worry about that. After all, this is an adult matter."

Chapter Thirteen

Adult matters...

With those words swirling in her mind, Bronya tried to get up to stop them, but the increasingly heavy dizziness in her head prevented the girl from acting according to her own will. She could only watch the figure in her sight gradually disappear into the distance, realizing that she now... needed to seek help.

The girl barely managed to gather her consciousness and summoned Heavy-duty Rabbit. Bronya pressing a button on it, Bronya finally couldn't take it anymore and fainted. She had to tell the headmistress and the others this information. Come quick, Bronya, she's right here.

The girl completely lost consciousness, but not long after, a nimble figure appeared. Seeing Bronya lying on the Heavy-duty Rabbit, Kiana breathed a long sigh of relief. After learning from Seele that Bronya had acted on her own, she had come out to look for Bronya. Fortunately, Bronya had also posted her coordinates, which was how Kiana was able to find Bronya. What exactly had she encountered?

The highly intelligent Heavy-duty Rabbit understood that the approaching creature was not an enemy, so its alert mode did not interfere with Kiana's approach. The girl, who had traveled a long way, carried Bronya on her back. Fortunately, she was not injured, but it seemed that she had been through some kind of battle. Everything could only be understood after Bronya woke up.

Carrying Bronya on her back, Kiana's agile movements were not affected at all. The girl quickly ran towards the place where the transport ship had been parked. Her current mission was to bring Bronya back to the Hyperion. Kiana looked at the dark, overcast sky. Something bad was happening. Shen Gonglin... she should be alright, right?

In the command room of Hyperion, where Theresa was alone, the seemingly young and innocent girl had a very gloomy expression. Looking at the intelligence report in her hand, Theresa's slender fingers trembled uncontrollably. This intelligence report... without a doubt, this was not a smokescreen, but something that had really happened.

"Headmistress, Bronya is settled in. It's just a normal coma, she should wake up soon. Seele is taking care of her... What happened?"

The door to the command room opened, and Kiana slowly walked in. After settling Bronya in, she came to report to Theresa. Bronya's condition was fairly good; after various examinations, she would wake up after only a short while. However, Theresa's expression made Kiana realize something was wrong. This usually carefree girl had now learned to read the room. Except when she was with Shen Gonglin, Kiana could maintain her carefree attitude, but most of the time, Kiana could also show her mature side.

"It's nothing... Kiana, take a look at this intelligence report. Schicksal Headquarters has been damaged for unknown reasons, and all kinds of basic facilities are paralyzed. It's in complete chaos. The airport has been damaged in many places. Grandpa... Otto is missing and his fate is unknown. It is suspected to be sabotage by an individual. The Immortal Blade, which returned from Coral Island, engaged in battle with that intruder, but the result seems unclear."

Theresa's expression was indeed very unpleasant after handing the intelligence to Kiana. As far as she knew, such a thing had never happened before in all the time that Schicksal had been established. Unidentified people attacked Schicksal Headquarters, and the bishop's life or death was unknown. Schicksal was truly plagued by misfortunes.

"The Immortal Blade... Is that Durandal? What's going on with Shen Gonglin?!"

Kiana was initially quite calm, even a little happy, since Schicksal wasn't a good thing in her eyes. However, her expression changed after hearing Theresa's next words. Of course, she wasn't worried about Durandal; she was concerned about Shen Gonglin. That girl was probably going back to Schicksal Headquarters with Durandal, and if a battle broke out, she would definitely be caught in the crossfire.

It's all this idiot's fault for running around like that. Can't he just stay by my side? Why does he have to run around with those people? He's asking for trouble!

"Shen Gonglin... Shen Gonglin was taken away by that unknown intruder. Now Durandal is in charge of Schicksal, and Schicksal is also searching for Shen Gonglin's whereabouts... Damn it, this must be a conspiracy. The bishop won't fall so easily. Compared to the open Bishop of Schicksal, Otto hiding behind the scenes would do something even more terrifying."

Theresa looked very depressed. One thing after another was happening, and now Shen Gonglin was involved again. That guy was like a source of trouble. Couldn't he just stay in the Hyperion? There are so many girls in the Hyperion now, isn't that enough for him to mess with?

Think about it, there's Kiana as a young girl, Tesla and Einstein as slightly mature women, Seele as a Seele sister, Bronya as Bronya, and... and herself. There are also Rosaria and Liliya as even younger ones, and if all else fails, there's Cocolia, who's in prison. With so many people around, why is he still trying to run away? What exactly is Shen Gonglin trying to do?

Theresa is very worried now that anything involving her grandfather is bound to be bad. Who knows how things will turn out?

"Seriously, the situation is getting more and more complicated... We have absolutely no idea where Shen Gonglin and the others have gone. What are we going to do?"

One frustrating thing after another, Theresa scratched her head in annoyance. The lovely headmistress had become so irritable. Damn it, the information was so scarce.

"I... I know where Shen Gonglin went, and... the person who took him hostage is the Class President."

Just then, Bronya, supported by Seele, entered the command room. The girl had just woken up and couldn't wait to come here. Now was not the time to rest; everything had to be explained quickly.

"Bronya, why did you run out? You need to rest now. And what did you mean by 'Class President'?"

Kiana rushed over and supported Bronya's arm, while the emotionless loli shook her head, saying that she was fine, she had just been knocked unconscious, and she knew her own body. She hadn't been without results in the previous battle.

"The one who fought Bronya before was the Class President... or rather, not the Class President. In any case, Bronya knew their location, Shen Gonglin was also there."

Bronya pushed away Seele and Kiana's hands and strode towards the central computer. Although she had been knocked unconscious due to carelessness, Bronya had still managed to do what she wanted to do.

Chapter Fourteen: Killing Someone By Destroying Their Spirit

"Bronya left a tracker on Shen Gonglin before... Even if the tracker has probably been removed, we can still trace its movement to roughly estimate where they stayed... Look, this is it."

Sitting in the chair, Bronya connected Heavy-duty Rabbit to the computer in the control room. A clear path map appeared on the screen, and everyone present became excited as they saw the still-flickering dots on it. They had finally found their location!

"Well done! Bronya, you're amazing! Quick, find out where he is. We must bring him back as soon as possible."

Kiana was overjoyed. Bronya was as reliable as ever. If it were her, she would never have thought to leave a tracker. The girl rushed to Bronya's side, trying to figure out where they were. Even Theresa came over at this moment. With the situation outside in turmoil, they had to find Shen Gonglin to put their minds at ease.

"Hmm, the tracker isn't damaged. They've been here since last night. Let me see... this is the International Hotel?"

Having located the tracker, Bronya pressed a few keys on the keyboard and confirmed its position. However, the location made them both frown: the International Hotel. Why were they there?

Something seems a little strange.

However, just then, Bronya's phone suddenly rang. A delayed text message arrived on her phone. The emotionless girl opened her phone and looked at the message on the screen. Kiana and Theresa also came over at this time. When they saw the text message on Bronya's phone, everyone fell silent.

[Your debit card ending in 1220 has been used to purchase 52,000 yuan at the Binhai International Hotel, a sea-view suite. Binhai welcomes you to stay here again. Remaining balance: 190,009,500 yuan]

"Wow... so many zeros, Sister Bronya, you're so rich... Hey everyone, what's going on?"

Seele also came over at this moment. Looking at Bronya's bank balance on the text message, the girl's eyes widened in surprise. Her focus was on this. She had never seen so much money before. Sister Bronya had many bank cards, and this one had so much money. As expected of Sister Bronya, she was really amazing. Seele couldn't help but be surprised, but they didn't have any other reaction. What was going on?

Seele timidly asked, "What's wrong with Sister Bronya having so much money? Why aren't they saying anything? And Kiana looks like she's about to cry. Sister Bronya and the headmistress also seem a bit off."

"A couple's suite with an ocean view... Shen Gonglin, Shen Gonglin hasn't been violated?"

Unlike Seele, Kiana and the others were concerned about a particular word in the text message. Combined with the location of the locator, a bad possibility rushed into their minds. For a moment, they felt their heads buzzing. What could possibly make Shen Gonglin go to a hotel, especially a sea-view suite...? Bronya clenched her small hand on the keyboard into a fist, while Theresa swallowed and said these words in a daze.

This kind of thing makes you wonder if he really encountered something like that.

That's understandable. What normal woman could resist Shen Gonglin's looks? Even Himeko once picked up Shen Gonglin's corpse. If it were anyone else, who knows?

"Bronya, how dare you cheat on me! How could you do that?! How dare you bring Shen Gonglin to a hotel!"

Kiana exploded. Her usual calm demeanor vanished instantly, and her Kiana personality resurfaced. She grabbed Bronya's cheek and glared at Bronya angrily. She could tolerate anything before, but not this. Her best friend was cheating on her! Only a fool could tolerate this!

"Idiot Kiana, how could I have done something like this? Wake up!"

Bronya wasn't the type to take a loss lying down. When Kiana grabbed her cheek, she retaliated by pinching Kiana's cheek in return. This girl is such an idiot. Her mature demeanor lately was clearly an act. She still has no brains!

"Hey! You still don't dare admit it even after I've sent you the text message? If you've got the guts, then admit it if you've slept with Shen Gonglin. I'll beat you to death today..."

Kiana was furious that Bronya was this kind of person. She was about to fight Bronya when Theresa, who couldn't stand it anymore, quickly separated the two. How had Kiana survived this long with such low intelligence? Or was she just driven crazy and had a brain fart? Even a fool would know that this couldn't be Bronya's fault.

"Kiana, calm down. Bronya is right here. How could she go to a hotel? Calm down."

Theresa, holding Kiana's waist, forcefully pulled her away from Bronya. Kiana finally calmed down. Right, if Bronya and Shen Gonglin went to a hotel together, this didn't make sense. But if it wasn't Bronya, then this text message...

"She took Bronya's bank card... Without a doubt, this transaction record is also hers!"

Bronya's cheek was still a little red where Kiana had pinched her, but her expression was unusually gloomy. She had no time to pay attention to the idiot Kiana; the girl clenched her fists. Damn it, this is really bullying to the extreme!
