Za Warudo! Time, Stop! Revised

"I'm not interested." Bronya rejected her without hesitation.

Seeing that Bronya had refused her without even thinking about it, Mei grew anxious:

"Don't reject me so quickly, Bronya. I definitely have something valuable to you!"

"You have something valuable?" Bronya finally raised her head and began sizing Mei up.

But soon, her gaze fell on the giant rice cake on Mei's chest.

Bronya: "..."

Damn it, how could something so evil exist in this world?

After a moment of silence, Bronya spoke calmly:

"A trade is possible. You want Bronya's help, right?"

"Then the price is that you don't come bother Bronya while Bronya spends time with Moqian tonight."

Hearing this, Mei immediately grew anxious:

"No! Anything else is fine, but absolutely not when it comes to Moqian!"

Seeing Mei's anxious expression, the corners of Bronya's mouth lifted into an almost imperceptible smile:

"No way, no way. Mei, you're already getting anxious?"

"Mei, don't you always say that your bond is unbreakable? It's only spending some time together tonight. Could Bronya really steal your Su Moqian away?"

"Mei, you're really pathetic. Are you that afraid of Bronya?"

Listening to Bronya's matter-of-fact tone, Mei widened her eyes and snapped:

"Who, who's afraid of you?! Fine, we'll make that the trade!"

"I refuse to believe that just spending a little time together tonight means you can surpass the feelings Moqian and I have!"

Inside ME Corp.'s office.

Just as Elena was speaking with Mrs. Hayaki,

a blue-haired man suddenly stepped in through the window.

Seeing this, Elena stood up and spoke respectfully:

"May I ask if you are Lord Walter?"

Faced with Elena's respectful attitude, Walter nodded in satisfaction:

"That's right. Where is that man named Su Moqian? I'd like to meet him."

Su Moqian, who had been listening outside the door for quite some time, was startled when he heard Walter's voice and instinctively took a step back:

"Is he here for me? As expected, this place isn't safe to stay in."

Su Moqian thought for a moment, but still decided to go home and consider the matter further. He set the mop aside and hurried away.

"Hm?" Walter seemed to notice the movement outside the door, and his eyebrows lifted.

At this moment, Elena smiled faintly and replied:

"There's no need to trouble yourself over this, Lord Walter. We'll handle it."

Walter's attention remained fixed on the area outside the door. He paid no heed to Elena's words and casually waved his hand:

"Suit yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."

With that, Walter opened the office door and walked out.

After looking around, he quickly determined the direction and then strode after Su Moqian.

Five minutes later, Su Moqian had already hurried into a small alley.

He didn't know who the man who had suddenly appeared in the office was, but the other man's completely unrestrained presence could be felt even from outside the door.

"Powerful, arrogant, and completely lacking in restraint..."

From that brief encounter, Su Moqian had roughly inferred the other man's personality.

"He must be one of Cocolia's people too. How should I deal with him..."

Just as Su Moqian fell into thought, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Running away? You really think you can escape?"

Su Moqian abruptly raised his head and discovered that a figure had appeared atop a high-rise building at some point.

The next moment, the figure jumped from the high-rise without hesitation and flew straight toward him.

"He caught up? He's that perceptive?"

Su Moqian's heart tightened. He immediately sped up, rushing toward the other end of the alley.

Elsewhere, Natasha, Cocolia's daughter, had also come to ME Corp. after finishing her work handover to look for Walter.

But just as she arrived outside the building, she heard what Walter had said and then saw him descend from the sky.

Seeing this scene, Natasha immediately understood:

"Could Walter really have gone after Su Moqian?"

"With his strength, killing Su Moqian would be as easy as turning over his hand. But given his arrogant personality, if that boy knelt and begged for mercy, he might actually let him go."

"No, I have to follow them and take a look."

With that, Natasha quickly ran toward the place where Walter had landed.

A figure constantly darted through the alleys.

After passing another corner, Su Moqian saw the wall blocking his path. He planted one foot against it, used the momentum to leap up, and easily vaulted over it.

However, just as he prepared to continue charging forward, he sensed something and abruptly stopped, shifting his position.

The next moment, a figure crashed down in front of him.

"Boom—"

The ground cracked apart, kicking up countless particles of dust as smoke billowed into the air.

"Heh heh heh, hahahaha! Behold my perfect entrance!"

Looking at the enormous commotion he had created upon landing, Walter revealed a healthy smile.

He had caused such a huge disturbance. Surely that Su Moqian had been scared stiff by now?

Then Walter struck a handsome pose. With a wave of his right hand, the smoke around him was instantly blown away.

Thus, the mighty Walter made his grand appearance through the torn smoke, with maximum dramatic flair!

"Tremble, mortal."

As he spoke, Walter opened his eyes and looked down contemptuously at the area ahead.

However, the next moment, he froze.

There was no one in front of him. The young man from earlier had vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, Su Moqian had already run several hundred meters away. He glanced back.

Seeing that the other man had not caught up, he couldn't help muttering inwardly:

"Is that idiot's brain not working properly?"

Chapter 73: Za Warudo! Time, Stop! Revised

Su Moqian was already fairly certain of the identity of the person chasing him.

Earlier, outside the office, he had overheard the other man being called Walter.

Su Moqian had heard his father mention the name Walter before.

"Walter Joyce is a true hero. He holds extraordinary significance for us."

However, the man from earlier was powerful, but his brain was clearly underdeveloped and his cerebellum completely nonexistent. He obviously couldn't be called a hero.

"There's a good chance he's impersonating Walter. Unfortunately, I don't have enough information yet."

Su Moqian's goal was to poach every important person around Cocolia.

This fake Walter was powerful, so he was presumably important to Cocolia as well.

But if he wanted to win him over, he needed to understand him thoroughly. Only then could he find the right opening.

After thinking it over, Su Moqian spoke:

"System, begin the simulation!"

[Beep! Today's free simulation attempt has been used. Another simulation will consume 80 Wish Power.]

"Confirm. Hurry up!" Su Moqian answered without hesitation.

His opponent was powerful and would catch up to him soon. Continuing to run was useless.

If he wanted to survive, he had to make good use of this simulation.

[This simulation is officially beginning!]

[Day 1:...]

Seeing the simulation begin, Su Moqian slowly stopped walking as his expression shifted.

During this simulation, Su Moqian had exchanged his life for a great deal of information about Walter.

Although he had died once in the simulation, the information he had obtained had already given him an idea of how to poach Walter from Cocolia.

"Then next, I need enough strength to speak with him face-to-face."

"Well, let's first see whether a wish can create a miracle."

With that thought, Su Moqian said to the system:

"System, I want to make a wish!"

Time was of the essence, so Su Moqian didn't bother with anything useless.

He even hurriedly skipped the wish animation. Finally, the result of the wish quickly appeared:

[Dio Brando]

[Stand: The World: A Stand formed by condensing spiritual power. Its combat strength is determined by the intensity of Honkai Energy and is not restricted by the status panel.]

[It can consume Honkai Energy to jam the gears of time, stopping time. The user can move freely during the stopped time.]

[Notice: Because the Stand is no longer restricted by the status panel, its range is theoretically infinite. However, the farther the Stand is from its user, the weaker it becomes and the harder it is to control.]

[Warning: Under no circumstances should you let your enemy say something like, "It seems to be the same type of ability as mine."]

"Time Stop?" After seeing the ability description, Su Moqian couldn't help inhaling sharply.

He had already made all his preparations, but he hadn't expected this wish to be so powerful. He had directly drawn the ability to stop time!

At this thought, Su Moqian couldn't help saying:

"Sorry, System. I was too loud before."

[Hmph, now you know to call me System?] The system became tsundere again.

Seeing how pleased the system was with itself, Su Moqian merely laughed twice and didn't pay it any mind. After all, he was extremely satisfied with the result of this wish.

A moment later, in the alley.

Su Moqian stood where he was, waiting.

When Walter finally arrived and saw that Su Moqian was still standing there, he immediately laughed mockingly:

"What? Have you given up resisting? Too bad. It's too late!"

With that, Walter raised his right hand.
