I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

"...reneging on the debt."

Bryce chuckled to himself.

That laugh is enough to write a paper titled "People Do Laugh When They're Silent".

"Mr. Qiong, are you... representing the Starry Sky Train in this meeting?"

"It seems that the gray-haired youth and the gray-haired girl behind him are not in a very stable mental state," Bryce hesitated for two seconds before confirming for the second time.

"No, I already said that."

Qiong chuckled and waved, leaning back in her chair in a languid posture, playing with Bronya's slender and delicate fingers.

This action might seem frivolous and casual during negotiations, but at this moment it serves as a display of status.

“I do not represent the train, but sit here as the fiancé of the Great Guardian, and every word I say represents Belberg.”

“Very well, then, Mr. Berlöberg, the Grand Guardian’s fiancé, you know…”

Bryce was both amused and exasperated. He leaned forward, speechless for a full two seconds before finally managing to form a gesture like playing an accordion:

What are you doing?

"Are you trying to collect debts from the company?"

Bryce has worked at the company for over a decade, using his shrewdness and ability to rise to his current position at an enviable pace, becoming a confidant of Oswaldo's management.

From the moment he first joined the company as a proud employee to his current experience in market development, he has never seen such an arrogant person!

They must have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard!

Is Belloberg really that brave?

Again.

How dare they do that?

"Paying back debts is a matter of course!"

Qiong seemed completely oblivious to the contempt and disdain that Bryce displayed, appearing to be a law-abiding, reasonable, and honest person.

"Yes, yes!"

Xing nodded her little head cutely, repeating in unison, "Paying back debts is a matter of course!"

"Cough cough."

On March 7th, Fei covered her mouth and began to cough dryly, as if she had choked on her own saliva. At first, she did not know how Qiong planned to handle Belloberg's debt problem.

Wearing a new dress, she was taking photos with Xing during the celebration when she saw the starship fly straight into Belloberg territory. She immediately realized that the market development department executives had arrived.

The two immediately returned to Cripperburg, intending to support Bronya.

Unexpectedly, Qiong turned around and demanded payment from the company!

This move really annoyed March 7th.

"That's right, that's right, paying back debts is a matter of course!"

Patting her shapely chest, Xiao Sanyue crossed her arms over her snow-white, soft waist and joined in the cheers.

In her opinion, it was extremely unreasonable for the company to come to Yalilo to collect debts at this time; it was blatant bullying!

In the face of this situation, we should fight fire with fire!

Those capitalists at the company should all be hung from the lampposts in Belleburg!

"Mr. Bryce, you came to Belloberg to deal with the debt issue, right? Now that you've confirmed that this debt is real and undeniable, then sign this debt agreement!"

With a faint smile on her lips, Qiong lightly swiped her fingertip across the holographic screen.

The debt contract, shimmering with a deep blue light, slid toward Bryce.

The contract floated above the table, with clear details of Belloberg's debts and the company's maintenance costs.

Bryce stared at the astronomical numbers that had been enlarged and thickened on the holographic projection. His lips twitched upwards at first, then froze into a twisted expression that was somewhere between a sneer and rage.

What if I don't sign?

He suspected that the nameless visitor's brain had been damaged by the glacier in Arilho.

"Finally, a reminder to everyone: those who refuse the company's good intentions never have a good ending."

The monetary economic system was destroyed by automatically splitting gold coins; the planet and its inhabitants were destroyed in pulse experiments by unrecorded experimenters; or, due to IOUs from previous regimes or even regimes from dozens of eras ago, all life on the planet was captured and sold as slaves.

This is the marketing department's tactic!

"Oh dear, I never expected that the Interstellar Peace Corporation, a behemoth occupying the entire galaxy, would actually try to renege on the debts of our small planet."

Qiong shook his head and sighed.

"The Great Guardian wants to give our Goose City a fair chance, and that's what we're demanding today."

Xing stepped forward and slammed his hands on the table: "Why does the company make us maintain assets that have been around for seven hundred years without paying for the maintenance? That's not fair."

"Aren't you bullying honest people?"

Xing pointed a single finger to the sky, shouting indignantly.

Bronya's eyes twitched slightly. She really wanted to remind Xing that it wasn't Goose City, but Bay City, but considering the current atmosphere...

Fine, Goose City it is then.

Faced with the probing questions posed by the gray-haired girl who seemed to have mental issues, Bryce, a senior executive in the market development department, experienced for the first time the throbbing sensation in his temples at the negotiating table.

"As Xingbao said, if the company insists on bullying honest people, then we have no choice but to take tough measures."

Qiong scratched her gray hair, which was a little messy from Xing's grabbing, and said the most arrogant thing in a timid tone.

"Ha, tough measures? Hahaha!"

Bryce had held back his earlier snickers, though he did let them show, but now that he heard Qiong was planning to take tough measures against the company, he finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Oh God!

Look at the joke this guy told!

The market development department claims to be using aggressive measures?

Bryce felt that the interstellar talk show stage might be a better fit for this young man to showcase himself than his fiancé, the Great Guardian of Belloberg, or the nameless passenger on the Star Train.

These words could make him laugh his way up from P45 to P46.

Bryce gently placed the terminal he was holding on the smooth negotiating table, a mixture of anger and amusement on his face:

“Miss Bronya, Mr. Sora, since you both insist on your own opinions…”

"Then I'll be frank: Interstellar Peace Corporation cannot accept any asset maintenance fees proposed by you."

He spoke calmly, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact.

"The company reserves the right of final interpretation!"

“On behalf of the company, I am issuing a warning to Belloberg that if you insist on defaulting on your debts, the company will take strong measures.”

Using force as a threat was part of Bryce's plan. Unless the leaders of Belloborg were incompetent, it was impossible to get them to easily give up the planet Yalilo.

For a civilization that can't even leave its home planet, the company's warships are the Trisolarans in the truest sense, a dimensional reduction attack.

As Bryce interlaced his fingers, his index finger and thumb gracefully twirled the emblem ring on his middle finger, the dark red gemstone set in the ring refracting light as it turned.

Upon receiving the order, the crew members on the starship immediately raised their hands and pressed the red button on the screen.

In near-Earth orbit, the Fourth Divine Key continuously projects a faint azure light onto the surface of Yalilo, which is essentially a gentle breeze, adjusting the planet's ecology.

Suddenly, the armed small spacecraft lurking in the shadows of orbit accelerated abruptly, drawing a deadly acceleration trajectory in the vacuum.

boom!

The fireball from the explosion instantly expanded to hundreds of meters in diameter, and the incandescent plasma swallowed the satellite like a greedy maw.

Almost simultaneously, inside Cripper Castle, a purplish-black irregular Rubik's Cube appeared in the pale, delicate hand of the Secondary Silverwing.

"Fluid Shield, activate."

The fourth Divine Key was designed as a large, conspicuous satellite, so naturally it would have a defense mechanism to deal with space firepower.

Amidst the ferocious flames, the outline of the Fourth Divine Key remained clearly visible even as the breeze swirled around it. The energy impact of the explosion struck the thin, ideal fluid shield of defense, only to be completely deflected.

"They actually managed to block it?"

The weapons control staff on the starship gasped in astonishment, their eyes wide.

"It doesn't look like an imaginary energy shield... then what is it?"

Bryce was unaware of the situation inside the starship. After giving the signal to act, he leaned back in his seat, ready to watch the spectacle of someone rushing in to report satellite damage.

But when the twin sisters of the Great Guardian took out the black cube, Bryce had a bad feeling.

"Now, there's also compensation for emotional distress, satellite repair costs, and compensation for the deliberate attack on Yalilo."

Qiong's lips still held a playful, flippant smile, but her pupils had hardened with an icy glint.

A pair of dazzling golden earrings, as striking as those bright golden eyes, appeared in his palm. "Ah Qi, I need Yue'er's help."

Qiong threw out a pair of earrings.

Little March caught the earring in a flustered manner, pouting to hide her shyness:

"...Okay... alright!"

Although she still felt embarrassed thinking about what Yue'er did last time, she was certain that March 7 would not refuse Qiong's request under the current circumstances.

She skillfully put the earring on her right ear.

The other one was thrown to Xi'er by Qiong, and at this moment, she herself was in control of the body, Qiong Xi'er.

At this moment, the consciousnesses of Black Seele and White Seele are all present within Seele's body, and they will also participate in the fusion. Seele with three consciousnesses is one of the strongest fusion materials. Don't forget that she also possesses imaginary and quantum powers and is equipped with the Tiger Talisman.

There are two reasons why they chose to unite with Seele on March 7th.

Firstly, it requires her six-phase ice.

Secondly, Yue'er is the magical girl who is most compatible with rubies.

Qiong had also let the other combined warriors try it out in bed, and although their compatibility was not low, none of them were as good as Yue'er's.

Amid Bryce's bewildered and astonished gaze, Seele, holding a ruby ​​magic wand in one hand and wearing an earring in her left ear, and March 7th, like two poles drawn to each other, floated up and embraced each other.

The white light was briefly emitted, then was immediately replaced by a purplish-pink glow.

"Ta-da! Magical Girl Tsuki makes her dazzling entrance!"

Her hair, as shimmering as a galaxy, reached her shoulders; she wore a white off-the-shoulder veil, a purple-pink skirt, a butterfly-wing cape, and magical leg rings.

The transformation is completed while the Starry Sky Train is combined. Without any cheating, Yue'er in this state is the strongest fighting force of the Starry Sky Train!

Normally, it is a quasi-commander-level being even stronger than Walter. If it uses the Ruby to burn its cuteness value and unleash its power, it can act as a strong commander for a few seconds.

"Disobedient children need to be punished!"

With her bare, white feet stepping into the void, Yue'er took a step forward, and pink and purple butterflies and petals fluttered around her as she disappeared into the administrative hall.

Quantum tunneling.

In one step, Yue'er arrived in front of Bryce's starship.

She gently shook the ruby, like a princess casting a spell in a fairy tale, "Seal!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the starship was sealed in a solid, chilling six-phase ice.

"Master, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"

"Quickly turn all those ugly things below into ice sculptures! Let them see your adorable teeth and mouth! Cute is justice, hehe~ Goo!"

Ruby excitedly flapped her little wings.

Chapter 464 Belloberg: Initiating Enforcement Measures.

Against a backdrop of a clear blue sky, the moon walks barefoot and on tiptoe through the void, surrounded by pink and purple butterflies and petals, like a dream princess who has stepped out of a fairy tale.

"Dear brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts, please stay here obediently and don't cause any trouble for everyone in Belleburg!"
