Chapter 139: I’m the Herrscher of Wind!

***

“I’m planning to kill Cocolia, Bronya.”

The silver-haired girl looked up at 【Jiang Qiao】, who was a head taller than her, her emotionless words tinged with a hint of calmness.

“…”

As expected, Bronya showed a complex expression at this.

Indeed, because of Seele’s situation, she did harbor hatred toward Mama Cocolia.

But there was no denying that regardless of how many bad things that person had done, Cocolia had indeed provided them with a difficult yet beautiful childhood… even though it was also Cocolia who personally destroyed that beauty.

Seeing the struggle in her eyes, Jiang Qiao said softly:

“If you feel psychologically burdened about 【Bronya】 killing Cocolia, we can switch back, but that won’t change my decision to deal with that woman.”

Given Cocolia’s crimes, if she died at the hands of her own adopted daughter at the height of her success, it would undoubtedly be a form of torment for her.

But Jiang Qiao had no interest in such heart-piercing, tormenting methods.

After all, he and Cocolia had no actual personal grudge.

Although Jiang Qiao did indeed dislike this half-baked woman for personal reasons, he wouldn’t engage in more extreme behavior because of this dislike.

His reason for wanting to kill Cocolia was only one — she was blocking his path.

Continuing to let this woman run wild might create more unnecessary troubles.

As for whether to use Bronya’s body to do this, perhaps it was precisely because he considered her personal feelings that Jiang Qiao deliberately came to ask for her own opinion.

“…”

After a long silence, Bronya spoke:

“There’s no need. You can use Bronya’s body to do it… Bronya hopes you’ll complete this task using Bronya’s identity.”

She knew that Mama Cocolia was really too much.

Although she indeed held past emotions for that woman, it was precisely because she had stayed by Cocolia’s side for so long that Bronya understood more clearly what kind of changes her adoptive mother was experiencing.

From the kind adoptive mother of the past to a ruthless politician who would use any means for profit, constantly losing, losing, losing, and continuing to lose more things for the sake of what was already lost — watching such a Cocolia, Bronya felt genuine sadness.

“Is it really okay?”

“It’s okay. Bronya doesn’t want to see Mama Cocolia continue making mistakes like this. Seele and everyone at the orphanage wouldn’t want to see the former Mama Cocolia become like this either.”

“Let her, let that gentle Mama Cocolia, live on in everyone’s memories.”

Ending the adoptive mother’s mad and tragic life with the adoptive daughter’s identity — in Bronya’s view, this was the only and most correct thing she could do as an adopted daughter.

By rights, this shouldn’t be done by 【Bronya】, but should be done personally by Bronya herself, the real adopted daughter.

But—

…The shot went off target.

Looking at her slightly trembling palm, the silver-haired girl was thoughtful.

Although Jiang Qiao himself had no intention of showing mercy to Cocolia, aiming completely for vital points with a fatal strike.

But he seemed to have overlooked the emotions toward the adoptive mother contained within this body of 【Bronya】.

Though slight, they still caused the bullet to deviate from its original trajectory at the crucial moment.

If it had been Bronya herself, she probably wouldn’t even have been able to pull the trigger.

“I’ll fire another shot then.”

Not taking this accident to heart, 【Bronya】 aimed the gun at Cocolia once more.

With the remaining emotions in this body, it wouldn’t be enough to make Jiang Qiao miss a second time.

However, before she could continue firing, the other Anti-Entropy members in the battleship’s central hub reacted — they were all Cocolia’s subordinates, and naturally wouldn’t stand by and watch Cocolia being attacked.

Although they completely couldn’t understand why Bronya, as an adopted daughter, would play out this kind of “loving mother, filial daughter” drama, they still immediately drew their portable weapons and aimed at the silver-haired girl standing beside Cocolia.

“In the name of Anti-Entropy Sovereign Welt, put down your weapons.”

With a beep, the battleship’s central control screen was connected, and Yang’s steady voice rang out.

Although still on the way, according to their prior agreement, after Jiang Qiao dealt with Cocolia, Yang, as Anti-Entropy’s sovereign, would stabilize the emotions of the Anti-Entropy members on Cocolia’s battleship through communication.

After all, they were all members of Anti-Entropy; they couldn’t be completely eliminated.

“Ah… sovereign?”

The Anti-Entropy personnel in the battleship’s central hub all froze upon seeing Welt’s appearance, looking at each other before ultimately obediently putting down their weapons.

Although the radical faction was firmly controlled, Cocolia was ultimately a member of Anti-Entropy, and they couldn’t possibly stage a scenario where they only knew Executor Cocolia but not Anti-Entropy’s sovereign.

With Cocolia’s life and death uncertain, the long-absent Mr. Welt would naturally make them make the reasonable choice.

“…Is this Cocolia? Did you kill her?”

Nodding with satisfaction, Yang immediately noticed this “loving mother, filial daughter” scene and frowned.

There was no problem with Jiang Qiao doing this in his current identity — as 【Bronya】, the third Herrscher of Reason, he was fully qualified to execute the heinously criminal Cocolia.

However, from Anti-Entropy’s humanitarian perspective, doing this was somewhat too crude.

“Not dead yet, missed the shot, preparing to fire another.”

Jiang Qiao casually said, making Yang’s mouth twitch… missed the shot, and firing another — if it weren’t for the brief contact that made him feel this successor wasn’t bad at heart, he would have almost thought this was some great villain.

However—

“Since she’s not dead, let’s spare her life for now.”

“Cocolia is Anti-Entropy’s Executor after all, she can’t die so carelessly. If she’s alive, many things will be much easier for us to handle.”

Einstein’s voice came from the other side of the screen, carrying some persuasion.

Although neither she nor Tesla had any good feelings toward Cocolia, and even wished they could send away this colleague who tarnished Anti-Entropy’s reputation.

But Cocolia wasn’t just alone — the radical faction controlled by Cocolia had a significant impact on Anti-Entropy’s influence in the Far East Asia-Pacific. If she were alive, having such a person would make the subsequent consolidation and transition of power very smooth; if she died, it would be very troublesome.

“Don’t worry, after resolving what needs to be resolved, Cocolia will receive a fair trial.”

As if worried that Jiang Qiao might be dissatisfied because of this, Yang said quite seriously:

“I guarantee this in Welt’s name.”

“Whatever you want.”

The firearm in her hand dissolved into blue particles and disappeared. The silver-haired girl showed no particular expression, allowing the arriving medical personnel to rescue Cocolia, whose life and death were unknown.

He wasn’t obsessed with killing Cocolia.

It was merely out of the thought of eliminating an unnecessary trouble.

As long as this goal could be achieved, Jiang Qiao didn’t care whether that woman lived or died.

Death was just the most effective way to curb behavior.

Moreover, personally speaking, he didn’t think it would be a good thing for Cocolia to continue living like this.

After all — for such a person, death was actually the best ending, while living was the suffering.
