Will I Eventually Become a Capitalist? Chapter 43

The answer, of course, lies in Kiana's mindset.

Miss Mobius is one of the most powerful classes in the Honkai world – the Flame-Chaser.

When she was still alive, her strength was comparable to Otto's ancestor, Su.

During her duel with Su in the previous era, even the Honkai world's planar structures would be directly knocked unconscious by the residual shockwaves from their clash.

If this elder sister were to truly come back to life, she would be the type to tear Herrschers apart with her bare hands.

To deal with her, one would definitely need to bring specialized equipment.

There's a lot of equipment with special effects in the Honkai world, but there's only one that can reliably defeat a Flame-Chaser.

Kiana's weaponized form – Oath of Judah.

To get that white-haired fluffball nesting on the island to come out, it clearly required another white-haired fluffball as bait.

Unaware of the sinister intentions of a certain lamppost-like figure, the girl lay on the hotel bed, panting heavily.

Because her first kiss was stolen, she had been relentlessly pursuing Russell.

But she had severely underestimated Russell's mastery of evasion.

A dark shadow flashed.

She was gone.

"Rita, didn't you say you'd met him before?"

The girl looked up at the beautiful woman who had confidently stated that if she could catch him once, she could catch him a second time.

The girl named Rita also looked as if her entire worldview had been shattered.

"He wasn't this good at running in Vienna."

"Huh? Russell went to Vienna?"

Kiana was stunned.

Russell was the owner of the Plasma Shadow Show; by all rights, Russell shouldn't have been able to leave Mei.

"I'm sure I met him in Vienna. Yes, he even chatted with me about beer for a while..."

Rita's expression became a little unnatural as she said this.

Afterward, Russell slickly escaped. Before leaving, he also dragged away Alvitr's PS game console, enraging Alvitr so much that she cried and fussed, nearly rolling on the ground.

"Speaking of which... Kiana-sama, why are you chasing him?"

Rita also became a little curious at this point.

She had previously seen a child named Bronya wandering the streets and went to observe her for a while.

It took some time, so she wasn't entirely sure why Kiana had that murderous expression towards Russell.

Kiana's face instantly turned bright red. What could she say? That she wanted to cause trouble after being treated like a workhorse by Russell, but not only did she fail to hit him, but her first kiss was also stolen?

"...It's all trivial matters."

She fell silent for a moment, only managing to blurt out these words.

Rita also fell silent. It was highly likely that Kiana had also been toyed with, just like herself.

"Next, I will dispatch a team under the Blade of Immortality to search. Please rest assured, I will bring him back."

Perhaps due to the frustration of her prey escaping, or perhaps to show off in front of Kiana, Rita said this with a solemn expression.

"If you can avoid investigating, please don't."

Unexpectedly, Kiana shook her head.

Huh?

Rita looked at Kiana with a face full of confusion.

"Did he commit a serious crime?"

Kiana retorted.

"The only substantial criminal act was taking my team member's PS."

Rita stated honestly.

"Then I'll make up for it..."

Kiana's mouth twitched as she spoke.

Although that guy Russell was incredibly annoying and a complete liar, he had always protected Mei. She figured he probably went to Vienna hoping to find some support.

They were all working hard for Mei, so there was no need to make things difficult for each other.

Besides, he didn't have an engagement with Mei at the moment...

"Understood, Kiana-sama."

Rita nodded.

Although she didn't know what was going on, since Kiana didn't want to continue the investigation, then they wouldn't.

After all, this incident had only damaged her reputation.

"Hmm, thank you, Rita."

Kiana lay in bed, ready to sleep.

But before she could drift off, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't contacted Mei in a long time.

After some thought, she opened Mei's messaging app.

Let's see how Mei's been doing lately.

The young girl tapped on Mei's moments feed.

And then—

The Smiling Samoyed's expression gradually froze, like hot wax poured into a mold.

On the phone screen, the girl's slender wrist was being held by a somewhat familiar hand, with the caption "Had a great day today."

"Uh, if I said our engagement was off, would you still go on a date with me?"

The boy's incredibly sincere voice echoed in her ears. In a daze, she almost saw one of her suitors waving goodbye in front of her. But as her gaze focused, the phantom turned into the intertwined hands of the boy and girl.

The Samoyed expressionlessly lifted its face from the pillow and looked at Rita, who was preparing to leave.

"Take back what I said, Rita."

"I want to see them alive, or their bodies dead."

Chapter 50: Sir, Times Have Changed!

Rita connected her portable computer to the Blade of Immortality's network.

"Alvitr, gather viewing information for all cinemas in Changkong City."

Alvitr was a technician in the third detachment of Schicksal's Blade of Immortality squad. She was responsible for data collection and analysis on the battlefield and was known for her diligent work attitude, earning her the "nickname" of a tool person from her teammates.

"Ah, aren't you on vacation, Lady Rita? You said not to contact you unless there was a special situation."

The girl, whose PS console had been confiscated, stared blankly.

"...The situation has changed. I ran into the guy who stole your PS. He recently watched a movie with the eldest daughter of the Raikou family. Hmm, he shouldn't have had time to leave Taiyuan yet."

The tool person from Schicksal, far away, heard a certain address, and her expression changed instantly. Her teeth were grinding so hard they made a crunching sound.

That was her newly bought PS!

It hadn't even warmed up before that scoundrel sneak-attacked and snatched it away.

"Okay, I'll check right away!!"

"Yikes—"

Not long after, an astonished voice came from the other end.

"What's wrong, can't find it?"

Rita asked, her tone unusually tinged with impatience.

She had already bragged about it, and if she couldn't catch him, her prestige with her sister-in-law would be cut in half.

"No, it's too easy to find."

"This guy is at the building materials wholesale center next to the city center cinema. Hmm, he's currently asking the boss for a toilet that can withstand ton-level pressure... The boss is now dueling him with a stick. This guy seems to be looking for trouble."

The words made Rita's expression turn subtle.

No way.

What kind of person needs a ton-level toilet? Did they raise a pet pig?

But even pigs rarely reach that size.

"...Rita, what's up?"

Beside her, the white-haired girl had already put on her sportswear and was hefting a baseball bat, eager to start.

If the tool person was so angry her teeth itched, this girl's teeth were about to shatter.

"Mm, the specific location is about ten kilometers from us... If we dispatch people to clear the crowd, it will take about half an hour."

"Can you act in half an hour?"

Kiana was filled with awe.

The admiring gaze from her future sister-in-law and daughter made Rita feel as happy as drinking Happy Fat House Water with a Happy Fat House Burger. She was practically floating on air.

"Do you need any more preparation? Like better equipment? Or armed support?"

Perhaps it was because she had suffered greatly at Russell's hands.

Yet, at the moment she was about to beat Russell soundly, this girl had become unprecedentedly cautious.

"Lady Kiana, I'm very strong, you know."

Facing the question, a charming smile appeared on Rita's face.

When it came to raw power, Rita was undeniably the weakest S-rank.

Rita's physical strength wasn't even that far removed from an A-rank.

However, in return, she was excellent at concealing her presence, making her difficult to detect even for other S-ranks.

For this reason, Schicksal had equipped her with the Shadow Iron Armor.

Her primary weapon was a scythe-type combat weapon called the "Gene Reaper."

Once the weapon obtained even a small genetic sample from a target during combat, it would synthesize the toxin "Avalanche" based on the target's genetic sequence, specifically designed to break down the enemy's flesh and blood.

Her secondary weapon was an autonomous tracking weapon, scientifically known as the Carbon-based Hunter.

This metallic hunter was equipped with a large amount of neurotoxin, which could spread through the air to incapacitate opponents, creating an opening for Rita to attack.

An armed individual who could kill enemies with two strikes, a weakened hunter, a killer hidden in the darkness...

"If the target is an 'individual,' I won't lose to anyone."

Under Kiana's admiring gaze, the woman revealed a captivating smile.

"Mei, can you help me borrow some machine guns and sniper rifles from Uncle Ryoma?"

"Valmont, you should be able to get some firearms too, right? Help me buy a few hundred guns, AKs, SCARs, or HK433s are all fine. It would be best if you could also equip them with some grenades and rocket launchers. Price isn't an issue, someone will pay the ransom later anyway."

In the chat group, Russell privately messaged two highly influential group members, initiating the group's begging mode.
