Will I Eventually Become a Capitalist? Chapter 36

"Oh, right, Lord, do you have time next?"

After a long period of flattery, Huihui looked at the boss who possessed the power of breast enhancement with an expectant expression.

"Are you looking to improve your situation?"

"Of course, no problem."

Lord Russell cheerfully granted Huihui a chance for modification.

However, just as Russell was about to reach out to Huihui, a pop-up message suddenly appeared in the chat group.

Russell froze and opened it.

The message was from Megumin.

"My father is in a hurry to see you."

"System, do you have any leads?"

Russell asked his system in his mind.

[Probably Raikou Ryoma sensed he was being tracked and investigated]

Russell frowned.

Raikou Ryoma was being investigated.

Logically, no one in the current Honkai world should be investigating Raikou Ryoma.

—The World Serpent is playing dead, Anti-Entropy is currently under Raikou Ryoma's control, and as for Schicksal?

Uh, it might be a bit unfair to Megumin's father—Raikou Ryoma probably doesn't have the qualifications to be specifically targeted by an Archbishop.

So, why was he being tracked?

"Prompt, what do you think."

He communicated with the prompt in his mind.

[Reporting to host, this is actually a misjudgment. Well, because the person investigating Raikou Ryoma is Rita—since you informed Durandal about Kiana's situation, Durandal brought Kiana back to Vienna. Kiana cares about the Raikou family, and Rita, who intends to be Kiana's stepfather or stepmother, or brother-in-law and sister-in-law, naturally has to show some concern.]

[Raikou Ryoma has already had one mishap and is on high alert, so he naturally senses something is wrong and needs to seek assistance as much as possible.]

Russell rubbed his head, feeling that the noble circle was truly messy, and at the same time, feeling that coincidences in this world were truly abundant.

"So, I just need to tell Megumin about these things and have her reassure her father?"

Russell asked the prompt.

He didn't really want to go.

—He had some past grievances with Rita and Kiana.

Rita was fine; she had trapped him in an orange back then.

He was no longer the same person he used to be. If he found a sack and put it over her, beating her up would settle their score.

It would be very awkward if he ran into Kiana.

—He had impersonated Megumin's brother and even had her beat up Raikou Ryoma. He was in the wrong.

He felt a little guilty.

Of course, the point that made Russell feel the most guilty wasn't Kiana, but Durandal.

Kiana and Rita were both people close to Durandal. If The Penguin also came along, and happened to realize that he was her peer, not an old man from Siegfried's generation...

That would truly be like sending a package under Big Ben, both awkward and perilous.

[However, from my perspective, host, your romantic luck is currently blooming. Well, it feels like if you go, you might find a wife.]

Russell coughed heavily.

Then, he asked in a low voice.

"Is the girl pretty?"

[Hmm, which one are you referring to?]

Hearing that, Russell immediately stood up and solemnly organized his belongings.

"Cough, cough, I think people should know how to face challenges head-on. We can't avoid setbacks just because we might get beaten up."

[Enough of that.]

"Hui, I'm sorry, but I probably don't have time to help you open the gates of heaven today."

After confirming that he had brought all his belongings, Russell sorrowfully announced a sad event to his henchman.

Henchmen are valuable, but love is even more precious.

The distortion of flesh and blood consumed a lot of energy. He couldn't go to meet his future wife looking weak and drained!

"Ah?"

Huihui instantly let out a scream.

Although she didn't know what had happened, her chance to defy fate seemed to be gone!!

Chapter 42: Kiana: I don't understand, but I'm utterly shocked

Vienna.

A beautiful city known as the "Goddess of the Danube."

It boasts beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate, with mild winters and cool summers.

The Vienna Woods, a branch of the Eastern Alps, extends into the western suburbs, covered in lush greenery.

West of the mountains lies a luxurious residential area, surrounded by gardens and vineyards.

In a corner of this opulent residential district, a beautiful white-haired girl stood, her expression serene.

Kiana's mood was melancholic.

Extremely melancholic.

As a devoted lesbian who loved women, she was prepared to endure hardship for true love.

Putting aside everything else, ever since someone claiming to be Raiden Mei's cousin appeared, she had been working like a beast of burden.

Honestly, working like a beast of burden for her brother-in-law wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

At the very least, that guy had clearly stated that he didn't mind his cousin getting close to girls.

It's just that—

"Miss Kiana... uh, according to Schicksal's investigation results, the Raiden family has always been a single-child lineage, with the head of the family named Raikou Ryoma. There has never been anyone named Raikou Ryoma Sniper."

A strikingly beautiful woman knocked on the door and delivered an investigation report.

The Valkyrie named Rita, following her captain's orders, reported the results of Kiana's hoped-for investigation.

"Furthermore, Raiden Mei does not have a cousin."

"The Raiden family has only one male heir, who is the current head of the Raiden family. He was imprisoned in Changkong City Prison some time ago for certain reasons and was recently released."

As if struck in the heart by a rifle shot.

Kiana clutched her chest, her expression filled with pain.

About half a month ago, she was recognized as a member of the Raiden family by a Mr. Six-Four-Three, who wished to remain anonymous. Then, she foolishly listened to "Raiden Mei's cousin" and entered Changkong City Prison to beat up "Raikou Ryoma Sniper."

Just as she was expecting her brother-in-law to speak well of her, The Penguin, named Durandal, after sending someone flying with a shot, casually drew some blood from her and proceeded with genetic identification.

Once the results were out, she was brought to Vienna.

When she asked why she was being held, the blonde beauty, in a rather complex tone, asked her to call her "sister."

The girl named Durandal was her sister.

This sister seemed to be a high-ranking official in quite a powerful organization.

So powerful that her personal maid, upon learning that Kiana was concerned about the Raiden family's situation during a casual chat, was able to dig up all the dirt on the Raiden family.

It's just that—

If only Kiana could, she wished she had never asked her to investigate the Raiden family.

Raiden Mei had no cousin, no uncle, only a father.

Kiana collapsed onto the sofa.

She felt like a Saiyan whose tail had been grabbed, a Devil Fruit user with Seastone, a Jinchuriki whose Tailed Beast had been extracted, like an Ultraman who had lost his light, completely devoid of hope.

"Rita... do you think... I still have a chance?"

The girl looked at the alluring woman beside her. Although her eyes were a beautiful azure, they gave off a dull, grayish feeling.

The poised and elegant head maid thought, You have no chance at all! The Raiden family only has one daughter this generation; the family's continuation relies on taking in a son-in-law. You, a girl, not only tried to abduct his daughter but also beat her up. And upon checking your lineage, you're a descendant of his mortal enemy.

How many times did Raikou Ryoma get kicked in the head by a donkey to think you're a good candidate for a son-in-law?

However, this was, after all, Durandal's... blood relative.

Clearly, she couldn't say such tactless things. Otherwise, if Kiana reported her to Durandal, her own relationship with the captain might be jeopardized.

Therefore, the elegant maid could only gently embrace the girl before her and offer comfort.

"Uh... your situation with Mei, how should I put it? It's quite complicated, but overall, Mr. Raiden's impression of you might not be very good."

"But love is ultimately a matter between you and Mei."

"If Mei insists on choosing you, I believe Mr. Raiden won't have much to say."

Those words were like a portable charger, reigniting a spark of light in Kiana's eyes.

Yes—

As long as Mei liked her, it was perfectly fine.

"Rita, can you help me book a flight to Changkong City?"

Miss Grasshopper's heart burned as if with an inner flame.

Yes.

She wanted Mei, and what did that old geezer Raikou Ryoma have to do with it?

The beautiful and charming Maid gently touched her lips, a sweet smile gracing her face.

"Theoretically, it's not allowed."

"But—who made you Lord Durandal's sister?"

Feeling the concern in the Maid's eyes, Kiana couldn't help but give a dry laugh.

She felt like she had seen this scene somewhere before.

It was like this was how she used to please a certain man surnamed Luo.

So—

If nothing unexpected happened, this person wanted to be her brother-in-law.

What could she say?

She, a perverted lesbian, probably had no right to judge Rita, but her own sister was clearly an overly serious Goosehead!

She had absolutely no intention of dating.

She felt like Sister Rita was a bit too one-sided.

"Uh... Speaking of which, Rita, do you know what my sister is doing right now?"

Kiana didn't really want to discourage Rita, so she stopped fantasizing and instead brought up the sister who had said she would take her to meet relatives.

"Hmm... Lord Durandal?"

Miss Rita gently tapped her chin, pondering for a moment.

"Durandal is reviewing the files of young ladies suitable for marriage."

"Huh?"
