Will I Eventually Become a Capitalist? Chapter 42

The gangster boss mumbled, even though his subordinates were screaming in agony, he still felt like he was in a dream.

Kong Ming transformed into Huang Yueying or Xiao Qiao.

How could I, Wa Xuande, have such a terrifying dream?

But the nightmare didn't stop so easily.

The capitalist twisted his voice and continued to act cute.

"Since we met here, it's fate. I've taken a liking to a very beautiful dress. Later, will you accompany me to try it on?"

"If you refuse, I'll be very sad."

As he said this, he sent a pitiful-looking emoji.

The scene directly silenced the other members of the group...

They thought that being skilled in deception and trickery was Russell's limit, but they didn't expect Russell to have the potential to become a VTuber.

"Stop pretending, you're not Elysia."

At this moment, Mobius reacted.

She stared coldly at the screen and made her judgment.

"After you speak, no one else talks much—they're all waiting for you to make a decision. You are the center of this group, even the absolute center. This is definitely not something Elysia would do. If it were her, she would choose to be in the second or third position of influence, letting others take turns in the spotlight, rather than presumptuously making decisions for everyone."

"Kevin? No, Kevin doesn't have so many twisted thoughts and bad taste. Su? That's not right either. Su looks gentle but is strong. If he found out I wanted to seize someone else's body, his methods would be very fierce. Chijie is even less likely... You're definitely not one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers. Who are you?"

Russell couldn't help but applaud the lady.

"As expected of you, Dr. Mobius. Should I say, as expected of Elysia's good friend?"

"You figured it out after only imitating for a few minutes."

Good relationship with Elysia?

This statement made Mobius frown her delicate brows, and she immediately retorted.

"Elysia and I are not the same kind of people."

"Indeed, you are not the same kind of people, but no one says that you must be of the same kind to like each other."

"At the very least, when I see my peers, all I think about is killing them or turning them into cattle."

Russell shrugged.

His greatest pleasure was to swallow the assets of other nobles or big merchants.

"Heh, if being of the same kind means liking each other, then you should have already been happily married to Vill-V... No, Vill-V's memory core."

"...Who exactly are you?"

Mobius looked at the string of responses, her heart sinking slightly.

Mobius was a product of the previous era. Strictly speaking, her birth time was already at the moment when human civilization was about to come to an end.

Therefore, not many people knew her.

With the final battle, it was estimated that everyone who knew her had already died.

Although she had made a misjudgment about her relationship with Elysia.

However, it also revealed a lot of information.

"The current Schicksal Bishop—Otto Apocalypse, pays his respects to you."

Russell did not hesitate to report the name that made the group members somewhat speechless.

No, Lord Russell, you don't use your own name at all, do you?

"Otto, is it? I've noted it down."

Mobius fell silent for a moment, preparing to go offline.

Although she didn't know what was going on, with this guy around, she wouldn't be able to trick people into the Elysian Realm.

"However, if you are willing to serve us at Schicksal, I am very willing to provide a suitable body to welcome your arrival."

But, just as Mobius was about to leave completely, the young man suddenly sent a new message.

Oh?

Mobius's eyes flickered.

Is he a schemer?

Because the people in this group are very important to him, he is unwilling to use them.

But he is willing to use other lives to exchange for his own rebirth.

Is he like herself, rather than someone like Elysia?

A future power holder.

Mobius was a little disappointed.

"Let's see your sincerity."

Mobius seemed rather unenthusiastic.

Working for those in power to exchange for experimental resources was normal for her. If the price was right, there was nothing wrong with working for an organization called Schicksal.

"Causality Law, mental interference, and an additional skill that would surprise anyone."

Lord Bishop said leisurely.

"That's a body even I find perfect."

"Sounds good."

Mobius smiled silently, and then her avatar grayed out.

She preferred people who stood in her way, preventing her from occupying others' bodies.

Watching Mobius's avatar gray out, Russell couldn't help but click his tongue.

This woman.

She was truly unreasonable.

If you stopped her from obtaining a body, she'd hold a grudge.

If you actively offered her a body, she'd look down on you.

"Boss, what are you planning to do?"

As Russell was complaining about Mobius, Huihui sent a private message.

She felt that Mobius was no good, but she was sure Russell was plotting some scheme. This feeling of two bosses confronting each other was cool, and she wanted to get involved.

This kind of situation was quite cool.

"She's so insincere, it's hard to pull her into our group, but I really covet her skills."

Russell rubbed his chin as he spoke.

"Don't you think Black Snake is working too hard handling so many things alone?"

He was going to capture the Infinite Serpent.

Chapter 49: Alive or Dead, We'll Find Them

ME Corp.

The beautiful girl stood by the laboratory, looking at the messages in the group chat while also observing her test results in the lab.

The test results were very encouraging.

After losing the suppression of the Conqueror Gem, the Stigmata within her body had begun to take effect.

Even with just preliminary activation, it had already given her physical qualities comparable to a Schicksal B-rank Valkyrie.

Her father was a top scientist at Anti-Entropy, and with the Conqueror Gem in hand, she would be equipped with a weapon wielding the Herrscher of Thunder's authority within a week.

With both combined, this girl, who not long ago was saying she could do nothing, now possessed combat power close to an A-rank Valkyrie.

But—

It seemed she still couldn't help Russell.

A hint of melancholy appeared on the girl's beautiful expression.

Megumin had always held a very pure emotion for Russell.

Not love, nor friendship, but a very pure admiration.

Megumin's life had only known summer and winter.

Her father was the master of the shadows in the Far East, and under his care, her life was only a prosperous summer.

But, Cocolia's appearance shattered all of that.

Because of her appearance, her father lost his influence, and she consequently fell into winter.

During her time of winter.

A man named Russell lightly pulled her father out, and then, as if taking a chess piece from the board, erased Cocolia.

The appearance of the scorching sun was enough to dispel all gloom, and Megumin's life once again entered a prosperous summer.

The sun that banished the gloom naturally evoked longing and admiration.

But—

Upon getting closer, one would also discover that the sun actually had its troubles.

For example, he often complained that Schicksal people were like death-calling ghosts, that the people of the previous civilization's Ark had released a bunch of strange things was crazy, and he was surprised that the land prices in Victoria's capital could buy the entire Ursus...

Perhaps it was precisely because of these things that it made people feel a sense of closeness.

So, sometimes, Mei also thought that perhaps she should also help Russell as much as possible.

Just as he had helped her.

However, the girl looked at her latest data, then looked at the group chat messages, and a trace of worry appeared on her beautiful face.

Russell was already preparing to hunt the Infinite Serpent.

Although she didn't know what was going on, the existence known as the Infinite Serpent was clearly not someone that a person who only reached A-rank by wielding a Divine Key-like armament could handle.

So, was she still unable to help with anything?

Perhaps she should ask her father if there were any methods to rapidly increase her strength.

The girl, unwilling to always be taken care of, wore an even more worried expression.

Just as she was preparing to close the group chat, a message quickly popped up.

"You there? Carry me!!"

Ah...

Mei froze.

Russell needed her help?

It sounded like a golden British Shorthair asking a Russian Blue for food.

But the feeling of being needed made Miss Blue Cat's spirit jolt, and she felt delighted.

"Please, tell me. If I can do it, I definitely will."

"Could you watch a movie with me later, take a photo, and attach the message 'I had a great day today,' then turn off your phone. Uh, if possible, could you also send me Kiana's phone number?"

Russell's message left Miss Mei stunned.

Russell—

What was he trying to do?
