[Option 1: Abandon the plan to seize the Herrscher of Wind's core and elope with Durandal.]
[Option 2: Tie Durandal up and shout in front of Anti-Entropy, "I have captured Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie and want to see your leader!"]
[Option 3: Smash ME headquarters with Durandal and find Cocolia.]
Chapter 95 Miss Cocolia, My feelings for you are truly from the bottom of my heart.
Jojo took out a chain and bound Durandal, leaving her nowhere to escape. Then, she smiled and said to the members of Anti-Entropy, "I have captured Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie and wish to meet your leader!"
Qiaoqiao chose the second option, offering Durandal as a pledge of allegiance to Cocolia, the acting leader of Anti-Entropy.
[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]
The three main forces opposing the Honkai in this world are: World Serpent, which has been lying dormant for a long time, Anti-Entropy, and Schicksal, which have always been at odds. In particular, the Reformists are particularly radical and intend to overthrow Schicksal's rule over the world.
In addition, Cocolia's resentment towards Schicksal has deepened due to Schicksal's recent persecution of Anti-Entropy members.
If Qiao Qiao were to drag Durandal to see her at this moment, she certainly wouldn't avoid her.
"Qiaoqiao, you...you liar!"
When Durandal saw that his hands were cuffed, he realized that he had been deceived by Jojo again. He glared at him and said, "Didn't you say... that you would release me and my companions as long as I helped you deal with the Herrscher of the Wind?"
"What liar... Don't put it so harshly." Jojo's eyes flashed with a cold light as she looked at Durandal, and she whispered to her, "If I hadn't brought you along, I really wouldn't have been able to easily see that woman, Cocolia..."
"If...the people of Anti-Entropy harbor deep resentment towards your Destiny, they will definitely be eager to see you!"
"Qiaoqiao!" Durandal gritted her teeth, her chained hands struggling twice: "You tricked me into coming here just to betray me to the Anti-Entropy people?"
“Miss Durandal, stop your futile struggles.” Jojo tightened her grip on the chains, looking at Durandal with a mocking gaze. “If you want to rescue your companions captured by the World Serpent, then don’t resist, just cooperate with me…”
"You again..."
Yulandel was speaking angrily when Jojo pulled her by the chain and led her towards the door.
She muttered to herself, "I was so stupid... to actually believe you would let us go..."
If Durandal had known earlier that Jojo would hand her over to the Anti-Entropy people, she should have killed Jojo with the White Flower when she was in the World Serpent, and then risked her life to rescue her companion.
But... it's too late for her to regret it now.
Ignoring Durandal's mutterings, Jojo turned and urged the Anti-Entropy members, "What are you all standing there for? Go find Cocolia and bring her to see me!"
Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's order, the Anti-Entropy members, though unsure of Qiao Qiao's true intentions, recognized the girl who had come with him as the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny. If this man could indeed capture her and make her obey his orders, then it would be necessary to report this to Cocolia.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and fetch Lady Cocolia right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the members of Anti-Entropy retreated to the outside of the door like a receding tide, completely surrounding the reception room.
Seeing the Anti-Entropy members leave, Durandal's mood grew even heavier. Back in Schicksal, she had heard that Cocolia, that vixen, would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. If she were really sold into her hands by Jojo, her final fate would probably not be much better than if she were in the hands of the Jackal.
"Qiaoqiao, you bastard, if you have the guts, let me go!"
Yulandel glanced at the knife on the table in the room. She no longer believed that Qiao Qiao would keep his promise to let her go. Rather than being used and then discarded by him, she might as well take a gamble. Even if it meant mutual destruction, it would still be a win.
After the Anti-Entropy members went to inform Cocolia of her arrival, JoJo decided to stop pretending. She reached out and removed the shackles from Durandal's hands, smiling as she said, "Thank you, Miss Durandal. If it weren't for your cooperation just now, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been easy for me to see that she-fox Cocolia..."
Seeing Jojo unlock the chains on her hands, Durandal's sapphire-blue eyes were filled with confusion: "What's going on? Didn't you want to trade me with Cocolia?"
"Haha..." Qiao Qiao laughed and said, "Even if I traded ten Cocolias for one, it wouldn't be as good as one of Schicksal's strongest Valkyries. Do you think I would do such a losing business?"
"So what you just said was..."
“That was all a lie I told to see Cocolia,” Jojo continued. “You don’t really think I would just hand you over to someone else so easily, do you?”
Upon hearing that Jojo wouldn't hand her over to the Anti-Entropy people, Durandal secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She simply couldn't imagine what kind of torture she would suffer if she fell into the hands of the Anti-Entropy people.
"If it's all acting, you should have told me sooner!"
“If I told you, it wouldn’t have been as effective…and…” Qiao Qiao smiled teasingly, “You look quite cute when you’re scared, I just wanted to scare you a little more.”
"Who...who did you call cute?!"
Yulandel retorted, her cheeks flushed. She felt that Qiao Qiao's thoughts were really hard to fathom. She couldn't tell which of his words were true and which were false. She couldn't figure out whether he was genuinely good to her or if everything he did was to take advantage of her.
Shortly after the Anti-Entropy member left the room, the sound of orderly footsteps came from outside the door. A mature and beautiful woman in a green military uniform pushed open the door and entered. Her features were three-dimensional and delicate, her figure was voluptuous and graceful, and her golden hair was as curly as her daughter Bronya's.
As soon as she opened the door, Cocolia saw a handsome young man sitting at the table leisurely drinking red tea. Despite having alarmed the entire Anti-Entropy, he seemed indifferent as if it were none of his business. The real reason she was there was standing next to him: the blonde, spirited girl Durandal.
Durandal is the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, a kind of spiritual symbol of Schicksal. If Anti-Entropy could obtain her, it would be a significant blow to the entire Schicksal.
Upon noticing Cocolia's arrival, Jojo immediately put down her red tea, turned to look at Cocolia, and smiled slightly: "I have been waiting for you here for a long time, Lady Cocolia."
When Cocolia saw Jojo's handsome face, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she felt her heart pounding like a deer.
Yulandel had fair and smooth skin, and a handsome and charming appearance, as beautiful as a blooming begonia. However, the boy in front of her, who was even younger than her, had a more delicate face and was definitely the most handsome boy she had ever seen in her life.
Cocolia, who has always loved children, was experiencing this first time being so smitten with such a young boy.
What am I thinking?
He looks...about the same age as my daughters...
Cocolia looked away from Jojo, walked to the edge of the lounge table, and sat down opposite Jojo.
Jojo looked at Cocolia, who had taken her seat, and said, "Durandal, why don't you hurry up and serve tea to Lady Cocolia?"
Upon hearing Jojo's order, Durandal unconsciously lost all thought of resisting and picked up the teapot to pour Cocolia a cup of tea.
"Miss Cocolia, please enjoy your meal."
Seeing Durandal serving her tea and water, Cocolia was filled with shock. Was this really Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal?
How could she be so obedient to a boy who was younger than herself?
Seeing Durandal's submissive attitude towards the young man, Kexia Coria felt that Jojo was becoming increasingly formidable.
"What's your name, please?"
"You can just call me Qiaoqiao."
Jojo gave a brief self-introduction, while Cocolia took a sip of black tea and then said, "So... Jojo, may I ask what brings you and Miss Durandal to our Anti-Entropy?"
Qiaoqiao was not surprised by Cocolia's direct question. After all, she was in Anti-Entropy's lair, and it was normal for the other party to speak without any restraint.
Jojo didn't intend to beat around the bush with Cocolia, and said leisurely, "I've come to Anti-Entropy this time to help you."
"Help us?" Cocolia crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "Forgive my bluntness, but Anti-Entropy does not need the help of outsiders right now."
"Really?" Qiao Qiao narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. "But I've heard that Destiny has been hunting you down."
Cocolia looked at Jojo with a strange light in her eyes. She didn't expect that Jojo, who was so young, would speak without any stage fright. Moreover, she knew very well about how she had been trying to obtain the Herrscher Core and activate the Moon Throne, which was why she was being hunted by Schicksal.
Even after Jojo learned that she was being hunted by Destiny, Cocolia still maintained a nonchalant attitude and said, "So what if you know Destiny is targeting us, Anti-Entropy?"
“ME headquarters will soon be unsafe. I want you Anti-Entropy people to come with me.”
"Follow you?"
Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Cocolia felt that he was overestimating himself. Why should an outsider like him have the entire Anti-Entropy following him?
“Mr. Qiao Qiao, I am willing to go with you, but... I'm afraid you don't have the ability.”
Jojo knew that Cocolia would never believe a stranger like herself. After all, Jojo had played the game and knew that Cocolia would soon be hunted down by Destiny and forced to hide in the Sea Abyss City, which even Destiny did not know about.
Cocolia knew she was in a bad situation, but she clearly didn't realize just how bad it was.
"I don't have that ability, but... what about Durandal?"
Jojo didn't rush to show her power to Cocolia, since it was one of her trump cards. Instead, she first showed Cocolia the cards she had up her sleeve.
You should know that Durandal is the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, and she alone is enough to take down the entire ME headquarters.
Of course, that was when she was at the peak of her strength.
However, Cocolia was unaware that Durandal's strength was not what it used to be, so she was easily fooled by JoJo.
As expected, when Cocolia heard Jojo mention Durandal, her eyebrows furrowed. She didn't know that Durandal's strength was not as great as before, and thought that she was still in her prime and had the power to destroy the entire ME headquarters.
"Are you threatening me?"
“No…” Jojo looked at the purple light flashing in Cocolia’s eyes and said in a cold and indifferent tone, “Miss Cocolia, I am sincere towards you. I just wanted to help you.”
Meanwhile, Durandal, who was watching the two of them talk, couldn't help but admire Jojo's shamelessness.
He not only threatened him with the Valkyrie of his own army to make him obey her.
They even used themselves as leverage to threaten Cocolia.
If it really works out, Qiao Qiao will not only have himself in his hand, but also the entire Anti-Entropy as a backing. Moreover, he has been using himself as a bargaining chip from beginning to end without paying any price.
His way of getting something for nothing is truly amazing...
Durandal desperately wanted to warn Cocolia not to fall into Jojo's trap, or she would surely succumb to darkness like herself, becoming Jojo's puppet...
Chapter 96 Vodka Girl Won't Meet a Lolita-Con Maid
As the leader of the Anti-Entropy reform faction and the acting leader after Welt's disappearance, Cocolia has been trying to collect the Herrscher cores and activate the Moon Throne to destroy the Honkai.
His actions in collecting Herrscher cores were the same as JoJo's, which is why JoJo wanted to build a relationship with her before she took action to seize the Herrscher of Wind core.
However... Jojo doesn't have any leverage over her, so she can't threaten her like she did with Durandal. Therefore, she wants to build a relationship with her by helping her, so as to successfully win her over and make her do things according to her wishes.
The reason why Qiao Qiao brought Durandal along to Anti-Entropy was because having a powerful figure like her as a backer would make the conversation much smoother.
“Jojo, Miss Durandal, if you two really want to be friends with Anti-Entropy, I can let you stay temporarily. But if you intend to threaten us with force, we Anti-Entropy are not afraid of the Valkyrie of Destiny.”
Cocolia's shapely legs were crossed, her arms wrapped around her full breasts, her alluring face was as cold as snow, and her eyes held a hint of threat.
A spatial fluctuation occurred behind her, and the quantumized Titan mechs gradually revealed part of their identities. The bulky bodies of the three mechs instantly made the entire room feel cramped and crowded.
Qiaoqiao had anticipated that Cocolia would be accompanied by guards when she came to talk to her, so she calmly cupped her face and said with some emotion, "Is this the quantum technology of entropy reversal? Seeing is believing."
Durandal already had a prejudice against Anti-Entropy, and the appearance of the Titan mech startled her even more, causing her to instinctively want to take out her Divine Key, White Flower.
"Wait... Durandal, I've already said we're here to help Miss Cocolia. We can't resort to violence in front of her, that would be so rude."
Jojo spoke up in time to stop Durandal from attacking the Titan mech.
Durandal stopped what she was doing, but she was speechless at Jojo. If she hadn't spent some time with Jojo and known that he was a cadre of the World Serpent, and had personally experienced his torture methods and inner evil, she would have really thought he was some kind of saint reincarnated Bodhisattva.
She couldn't understand why Jojo treated her with such gentleness, whether it was interrogation, cold threats, or neglect, while she was always so kind to a woman like Cocolia.
Could it be... that she prefers older women?
