Su Moqian smiled. "Not at all. I have to thank you, Brother Welt, for seeing reason!"
"All right, you should head back and get some rest, Brother. You'll want to be well rested."
Hearing Su Moqian's concern lifted Welt's spirits a little. He waved goodbye, then left.
After leaving the bar, Welt suddenly noticed his communicator ringing.
He picked it up and saw a new assignment from Cocolia.
Reading the commanding tone in Cocolia's message, Welt couldn't help but feel his anger rise.
"Hmph. Let that vixen gloat for another ten days!"
"In ten days, I'll kill you with my own hands and reclaim my position as Anti-Entropy Leader!"
Meanwhile, after watching Welt leave, Su Moqian let out a long breath. He felt utterly drained.
To persuade Welt, he had first used a combo from [World] to stun him and get him to follow his lead,
then fought tooth and nail in the simulation to uncover Welt's secrets and learn his weaknesses. On top of that, he had gained acting and persuasion skills from the simulation.
If not for all that, things might not have gone so smoothly.
"But it was worth it. Cocolia is Bronya and Seele's adoptive mother, after all."
"It wouldn't be right for me to go after Cocolia directly. Having this Welt clone take on the job is just perfect."
After speaking, Su Moqian tried a sip of his drink, then frowned.
He couldn't get used to it.
"What should I do next? Go have another heart-to-heart with Natasha?"
After thinking it over, Su Moqian shook his head.
"No rush. With a woman like her, it's better to leave her alone for a while and take the edge off her arrogance before dealing with her."
"For now, I should hurry home and get some rest.
