Otto's Death / Rita Nearly Has Her Home Raided. (Continued)

It wasn't because of Yarvete's advice, but because she thought that her public image shouldn't involve doing too many embarrassing things, otherwise her image would collapse.

Honest Durandal never expected that a fanfic that doesn't deviate from the character's original design is still a good fanfic.

"Let's come together."

Mei extended her hand in invitation.

Kiana then pointed at the Raven, who was standing there with an innocent look on its face.

"Then why is she here?"

Kiana pouted, seemingly still harboring resentment towards Raven. Meanwhile, the audience was also puzzled: since it was a gathering where Otto invited the Valkyrie, why would Raven from World Serpent attend?

It couldn't possibly be that she participated as Mei's relative, could it?

The Raven explained with a gentle smile, looking quite pleased.

"This is my villa, I shouldn't say that it belongs to me now."

Mei also pouted as she explained to Kiana.

"Otto seems to lack the funds to host a banquet, so he sold the island of Schicksal to World Serpent in exchange for money."

As Mei explained, two chibi-style figures suddenly appeared on the screen. The chibi Otto was hugging the chibi Kevin's leg, while the chibi Kevin looked like he wanted to kick him away in annoyance.

"Yes, Schicksal is currently facing a severe shortage of funds and has already owed me and Rita more than a month's salary."

Durandal propped her head up and said irritably.

His tone was full of resentment.

"Durandal led a group of A-Rank Valkyrie to block the Bishop's office, but no one was inside; they only left an invitation to come here."

As Rita explained, the chibi scene reappeared on screen, with a chibi Durandal and a group of chibi figures blocking the doorway, holding up a sign that said "Payroll".

"So Mei, why did you guys come here?"

Kiana was completely stunned, her face full of black lines, and she had to suppress her urge to complain.

Mei smiled broadly.

"Uh... it's because Kevin didn't have the money to pay salaries, so he mortgaged the island to us as a form of payment."

The chibi version of Kevin looks embarrassed and awkward.

With a bang, chibi versions of Otto and Kevin filled the entire screen, their faces beaming with pride, and below them were four words.

[The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix]

"Raven's Island... Is this island going to be blown to bits again?"

Kiana scratched her head.

Although I'm embarrassed to admit it, the island of Raven was indeed her fault. Before, I could shift the blame to Sirin, but now Kiana in the story is an extension of Sirin.

This made it impossible for Kiana to escape the blame.

"Are Schicksal and World Serpent out of money?"

Little Knowledge has a strong urge to complain.

Back then, she caused such a huge economic loss by wreaking havoc on the Schicksal Headquarters and the World Serpent, but Schicksal's floating island did not land. Kevin then stopped the execution of the Stigmata Project.

Can Schicksal be without money?

Whether in reality or in the story, Schicksal's assets are comparable to several small countries, and he even controls many countries.

The World Serpent is... the World Serpent is indeed quite short of money.

With three top-tier PhDs— Vill-V, May, Mobius— conducting experiments, World Serpent was already operating at a loss. Even if Kevin and other office workers wore out their keyboards, their earnings wouldn't match the research funding from those three.

The Raven have been forced to take on part-time jobs.

The reason World Serpent hasn't gone bankrupt yet is because it has two big financial backers standing behind it.

Eden and Yaqing.

Eden, a global superstar, invests in World Serpent every quarter in an amount equivalent to the earnings of a single concert.

As a junior director of Schicksal and the chief of the Schariac clan, Yaqing receives an unknown amount of dividends from Schicksal Headquarters every quarter.

Even if the World Serpent and the Far East Branch don't make any profit, Yaqing can still keep these two companies running for five hundred years.

"Hiss, if Schicksal really doesn't have money to pay salaries, will Big Sister really lead her team to block Otto's office?"

Kiana, with her Brainless Idiot- like mind, simply couldn't imagine it.

Durandal, such an honest person, would block Otto's office to ask for her salary instead of handing over her entire fortune to Otto.

Schicksal Headquarters.

Durandal tilted her head.

Is this the kind of girl who looks like a delinquent?!

"It's rare to see Bianka like this."

Li Sushang said with a smile.

"Sushang, you're teasing me too."

Durandal looked at the several comments that floated by, such as "[Silly Goose is my wife]" and "[Bad Silly Goose is so handsome!]", and then heard Li Sushang's teasing, her face couldn't help but turn red.

Seeing this scene, especially the blush on Durandal's face, Yarvete couldn't help but think of Rita was far away in the Far East, and sighed.

Lady Rita, our house is about to be robbed!

There's a saying that goes, "A young girl's blush says it all."

"Team leader, if Schicksal really doesn't have money to pay salaries, are you really going to lead us to block the CEO's door?"

The straightforward Susannah asked this question.

Durandal shook her head without even thinking.

If Schicksal truly has no money to pay salaries and is on the verge of bankruptcy, then the three major families are probably finished. Durandal should use the money she has saved to pay her team members' salaries instead of betting on Otto.

Meanwhile, in the Queen of Void's live stream.

"Ha ha."

Sirin vividly demonstrates that people sometimes laugh when they are extremely speechless.

"This creator has a really creative mind."

Sirin had to admit that Immer's ideas were wildly imaginative.

A normal person might not even be able to think of this.

["Especially the expression on Kiana, his disdain for the Raven was written all over his face, hahaha"]

"I strongly suspect that Kiana found out about Mei and Raven's date at the beach."

[Laughing to death]

"That's really true."

Rosalia scratched her head.

"Even I felt that the storyline involving Mei and Raven was a bit strange."

Sirin's eyes widened.

Oh no, even Rosalia noticed! This is a serious problem!

"Well, don't worry about it. It's not easy for everyone to get together here, so let's have a happy gathering."

Now, when audiences see Theresa, they think of Dumb Theresa and feel a sense of dread, even though she is normal so far.

"Indeed, let's forget about the troubles of reality and just enjoy today..."

Before Fu Hua could finish speaking, a familiar corpse fell from the sky, startling the two of them.

The girls went closer to take a look and found that Otto was lying in a pool of green blood.

"The flower of hope, the bond between people."

Rita, Fu Hua, Durandal, Theresa, Mei transformed into stick figures and gave a heartfelt performance.

"What kind of songs are you singing?!"

Kiana glared at her angrily.

After a familiar transition, Kiana's voice became a narration explaining the current situation, and the scene flashed past the faces of the girls one by one from beside Otto's corpse.

"I am Kiana. In short, a murder has inexplicably occurred here, and it seems that solving this case is our mission this time."

"Who exactly killed O..."

While Kiana was still deep in thought, Fu Hua had already taken action, carrying Otto's corpse and throwing it into a corner. Turning around with a smile, she said, "Let's forget about our usual troubles and have some fun today!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh—!"

The girls responded excitedly.

Kiana stood beside Otto's corpse, staring in astonishment at the scene before her, pointing at Otto and saying incredulously.

"Wait! Wait! Aren't you going to do anything about this?! Otto's dead! Dead!!!"

"Look at how excited they are, I have a feeling that each of them is a suspect."

Kiana narrowed her eyes.

"This plot is so familiar. A murder case at a villa on an island. Logically, the next step should be solving the case. Who? Kiana is being asked to solve it?!"

Little Knowledge's expression was strange, and there was a deep sense of doubt in his eyes.

"Hello!"

Kiana put her hands on her hips in displeasure.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Little Knowledge nodded without hesitation.

Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the main theme of events in this world was solving crimes, after all, she had been Sherlock Holmes' assistant in the main world.

To solve the case, all you need to do is watch her display her incredible prowess.

"Squad leader, are you feeling better?"

Kiana saw Fu Hua, who had been withdrawn, stand up from the ground.

Fu Hua nodded.

"Squad leader, I have to say, it was really..."

Little Knowledge suddenly put his arm around Kiana's shoulder.

"That felt good, didn't it?"

Little Knowledge then looked at Fu Hua.

"Old fogey, if you had this kind of temper in the main storyline, how could you have let Otto bully you like that? The Forerunners have such a high status, but you, you got shot dead by Otto."

Little Knowledge of Fu Hua is a rare sight indeed.

Fu Hua stared with dead fish eyes.

If Otto hadn't shot her in the head, how could Little Knowledge have been born?

"Little Knowledge, if the squad leader hadn't been shot by Otto, you wouldn't be here today."

Kiana scratched her head and bluntly said it.

"Shut up."

Little Knowledge patted Kiana on the back of the head in an annoyed tone.

"Oh..."

Schicksal, Central Europe Headquarters.

"Oh...!"

Otto clutched his chest.
